"Boss, we're only investigating three people, but there are six here. Could there be a mistake?"
The voice wasn't quiet; both Kangxi and Youqing heard it.
Is this bandit insane?
"Are you an idiot? Asking such a question? I've been staring at you for so long, do you think I'm blind and would mistake you for someone else?"
"Yes, yes, the boss is right."
The conversation between the two bandits was so funny that it made people laugh. Youqing felt that these bandits were a bit unreliable. She wondered who had hired them and whether they had been tricked.
The bandits of Qingfeng Village, though called bandits, were mostly forced into it. They robbed mostly wealthy and heartless people, but they were very professional and efficient when they robbed.
Later, when they returned to Beijing from Yunnan, those robbers must have been professionally trained; Suo'etu was quite capable.
This time they're robbers, and while there are enough of them, they don't seem to be thinking straight.
"Whose life do you want?"
This was the question Youqing asked, but even though she asked it this way, she felt that this time it was going to cost her her life. After all, only she would walk this road regularly. Although Kangxi would also walk it, it was not a regular route.
Furthermore, if it were truly a matter of taking Kangxi's life, no one would be so foolish as to bring such a group of people over.
"You Qing, which one of you is You Qing?"
Youqing continued, "That's me, but I don't remember having any enemies with anyone, right?"
"You're blocking someone else's path to wealth. We have no choice but to do this because we're paid to do it. Sorry, brothers, let's go."
After all that nonsense, they finally got down to business.
There were quite a few people this time. Youqing didn't have any martial arts skills, but her coachman was arranged by Emperor Kangxi and knew some kung fu. So apart from her, the other five people could handle these people.
Youqing wasn't idle either; she directed the system to begin hypnotizing the robbers.
The robbers outnumbered each other, but just as they were about to exert themselves, they all became limp and weak.
Kangxi, with a few men, easily took down dozens of people.
That's it?!
It's like playing a joke.
"Liang Jiugong".
"Your servant is here."
"We've taken care of the follow-up."
The subsequent interrogation and investigation were then handled by a designated person.
Kangxi then took Youqing into the carriage and continued walking towards the estate.
"These people seem a bit unreliable; they're probably from some shop owner."
Youqing knew that doing business would inevitably affect some interests, but interests are interests. Instead of thinking about improving your formula, you only think about killing her to solve the problem. This is not just bad, this is vicious.
"I will definitely find out about this matter, and then you can deal with it as you see fit."
Youqing shook her head: "You can handle it as you see fit."
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I plan to open my new shop in seven days. If you have time then, you can come and take a look," Youqing continued.
"I have time."
This will take time.
"By the way, have you decided on a name for your new shop?"
"Once it's ready, we'll call it 'Strange Goods Shop'." It's simple, easy to understand, and straightforward.
"A good name."
Youqing smiled but didn't say anything; she had a pretty good idea of whether it was a good name or not.
Liang Jiugong's investigation was quite fast. The bandits were terrified when they realized they had actually robbed the emperor and wanted to kill him. They killed people for money, but it wasn't worth risking their lives and their families for such a small amount of money.
Almost all of them have a history of murder. They originally thought that with so many people, dealing with a few would be no problem, which is why they dared to be so arrogant. Now that the authorities have investigated everything they could, they are afraid of implicating their families, so they have confessed everything they could in hopes of receiving leniency.
The explanation was very clear: it was indeed as Youqing thought, done by Youqing's business rival.
Emperor Kangxi naturally could not tolerate this. Those who should be imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who should be beheaded were beheaded.
After this incident, everyone in the capital with some connections knows that the owner behind Yan Yuege is not to be trifled with, and that her other shops shouldn't even think about making any bad moves.
After the news spread, Tongfu Longkodo was furious: "He's lucky to run into His Majesty. He won't be so lucky next time."
Longkodo, of course, would not give up. He believed that Youqing was just lucky to have run into Kangxi this time, otherwise she would definitely have lost her life.
But one stroke of good luck doesn't mean anything; let's see if she can be so lucky next time.
Youqing had no idea there would be a next time. This time, the investigation did not lead to Longkodo. The main reason was not that Longkodo's actions were truly flawless, but rather that neither Kangxi nor Youqing considered other possibilities.
Judging from the quality of those robbers, they really didn't seem like they had someone backing them up.
So he didn't think much of it, which allowed Longkodo to escape this time. If the bandits he found this time were of high quality, even if there weren't too many, and they were only 80% of the quality of the bandits that Suo'etu found last time, Longkodo probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
All I can say is that he claimed he found an unreliable robber to save his life.
He probably got misled by someone, which is why he thought those robbers could amount to something.
"How's the task I asked you to do going?" Tong Guowei hadn't asked too much after handing the task over to his son, but now that he remembered, he asked.
"That You Qing was lucky. The people he arranged ran into him with His Majesty on the day of the operation. His Majesty had a highly skilled person by his side, so they failed."
Upon hearing Kangxi's name, Tong Guowei quickly asked, "Your Majesty hasn't suspected you, has he?"
"Father, don't worry. Your son is meticulous in his work and won't arouse His Majesty's suspicion."
"That's good. His Majesty must not find out about this."
