Neither of them spoke, waiting quietly for the medicine to take effect.
A quarter of an hour passed and nothing happened.
"It seems like you've eaten the right thing." Ji Changying felt relieved.
Yang Tuozi also had a happy look on his face: "Thank you, Master, for the medicine!"
Ji Changying waved her hand: "Take out two and give them to your family. I'll take the rest and have someone study them. Maybe they can completely detoxify your bodies."
Yang Tuozi didn't expect such a surprise. He had never served his new master, but the other party was willing to detoxify him.
He was so excited that he couldn't help but babbled. "I'll do anything for you! Is there anything you need help with, or anything I can do? I can do anything!"
Ji Changying looked at his excited face and thought for a moment: "I'll leave Liu Ma's side to Prince Ping's Mansion."
The expression on Yang Tuozi's face froze.
If it turns out that Madam Liu is really a remnant of the previous dynasty or a traitorous spy, then he...
"It's hard to say whether Madam Liu will betray her master, but she will definitely drag you and Zhang Xinyuan into this, and even me."
The expression on Yang Tuozi's face hardened: "Even if I die, I will never betray you!"
Ji Changying nodded in satisfaction: "If the time really comes, you can give me away in addition to what happened in the past two days."
Yang Tuozi was a little anxious: "I, Yang Tuozi, have never been an ungrateful person. I will never betray my master!"
"Don't worry. Even if you don't tell me, Zhang Xinyuan might. He doesn't know what happened in the past two days anyway."
Ji Changying said this as he took off his black hood.
Yang Tuozi looked at her in disbelief.
I never expected that the person hiding mysteriously under the nightgown was a little girl!
"Zhang Xinyuan will never guess my identity, so you have to tell him, but you can guide him to other places, as long as he doesn't suspect me."
Even if Yang Tuozi finds out in the future that it was she who sent Madam Liu to Prince Ping's Mansion, she would only keep the news secret and dare not reveal it to anyone.
Knowing that she has a good relationship with the Prince of Heping's Palace, he still rushed to report her. Isn't this seeking death?
"I...I understand."
Yang Tuozi digested the shock Ji Changying gave him and agreed solemnly.
"You won't be in there for long. You'll come out."
Ji Changying's words were like a reassurance to Yang Tuozi.
——
Ji Changying wrote down the salary, the desired design and decoration style of the new store, and the new name of the store on a piece of paper and took it to find Manager Wang.
The two sat in the empty Wanfu Building, talking passionately for a whole day before they came up with a preliminary plan.
After Ji Changying gave Wang Fugui her contact address, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll get someone to watch over you. If you work hard for me, I won't treat you unfairly. If you say one thing to my face and another behind my back, it's hard to say for sure!"
Wang Fugui's expression was stern. "Don't worry, boss. We shopkeepers are all well-known figures. We value integrity the most. If we ruin our reputation, who will hire us in the future? What's more..."
"The treatment here is better than that at my old employer. I'd like to work for you for a few more years even if I have to be thick-skinned!"
Wang Fugui's chubby face was filled with excitement and anticipation, his eyes narrowed into slits due to smiling, making him look both friendly and festive.
"Don't mention it. No wonder Master Jin thinks so highly of you. Even after he abandoned the shop, he still managed to find a new owner for you. You look so pleasing to the eye."
Wang Fugui laughed even more happily: "I am not only pleasing to look at, but I am even more pleasing to do things! Just wait and see!"
Ji Changying smiled and nodded, then took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it over:
"Okay, then go to the flower market and take a look around. Write down the varieties of flowers and trees that are currently on sale. Then organize them and show them to me when you're ready."
She gave some instructions and said goodbye to Manager Wang.
She is going home.
Zhong Lizhou, who had been hiding for two days, finally showed up when she said goodbye.
"Busy man, do you have time to see me?" Ji Changying asked with a smile.
There was a second of embarrassment on Zhongli Zhou's face.
He was mainly worried that Ji Changying would question him about why Madam Liu had targeted the Ji family, so he went to the military camp when he had nothing to do these two days and didn't even go to the government office.
"It's mainly because I'm really busy during this period."
Zhongli Zhou explained without changing his expression.
"Could it be that things are not going well with Aunt Liu?"
Ji Changying asked tentatively.
"It's a bit unsatisfactory. Even though she's old and tough, she only revealed the few men she gathered in Liangzhou!"
Zhongli Zhou's eyes were a little gloomy and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Have you caught him?" Ji Changying asked calmly.
"Caught."
Zhong Lizhou glanced at her and said, "There's one person inside who helped you tie up the people. His surname is Yang."
Ji Changying looked surprised. "Ah? He's Madam Liu's subordinate? Then why did he volunteer to help me tie someone up?"
"His situation is a little different. He has a grudge against Aunt Liu. I plan to start with him and see if I can get more information out of him."
We must know who is behind this and how dare they betray our country!
Zhongli Zhou's eyes darkened.
Ji Changying sighed and said, "Well, this guy named Yang has helped me before, so I'm asking you to do me a favor and let him go?"
"I understand." Zhongli Zhou said this in response.
Ji Changying didn't insist: "Then I won't stay any longer, it's time to go!"
"Be careful on your way, and write to me if anything happens."
"knew!"
Ji Changying waved his hand casually while riding on the horse, then rode away on Pearl.
When she passed by Shuiyunjian, she suddenly remembered that she still had to bring roasted mutton for her master!
She hurried downstairs to order a meal to take away. While waiting for the meal, she actually saw Cui Qi.
That person is still in Liangzhou City!
Cui Qi sat in the private room upstairs, with a gloomy expression and a furrowed brow, looking a little unhappy.
Qingzhu served him tea and said, "Sir, we have stayed here for too long. I think the news is wrong. There is no shortage of food in Liangzhou. We should...find another way!"
Cui Qi slammed the teacup down on the table. "How dare the people in Prince Ping's Mansion ignore me? I've been here for so long and they're just leaving me hanging!"
Qingzhu sighed inwardly. In Kyoto, everyone had to give the Cui family some face, but in Liangzhou, the Cui family's face was useless.
"Ask again tonight. If you still can't find me, we'll leave!"
Cui Qi's face looked grim. He didn't expect that the thing he was so sure of would be completely different from what he had imagined.
No!
To be precise, he has never had a smooth life since he met that man!
If it weren't for Li Changmu, he wouldn't have lost face in front of Duan Yunzheng, and he wouldn't have missed the opportunity and failed to solve the food problem.
Now he is being directly ignored by King Ping and his son. He is being bullied everywhere and making no progress.
It’s all his fault!
Thinking of this, Cui Qi's back teeth were broken.
It’s a pity that the other party is as slippery as a loach. I didn’t find any information at all along the way. The tail was dealt with neatly!
