"How come I heard something different from you?"
Magpie, wearing an inconspicuous girl's folk costume, said loudly: "My aunt washes the toilet bowls for the nobles in the palace. She said it's because the owner of this shop is evil and bullies the young ladies from the capital to deliberately sell them. I gave them fake goods, and one of them wore their clothes and got a rash on her face. She was shy to see people, so she went back secretly. As a result, the people waiting outside thought she was missing, so they searched everywhere."
"It turned out to be a false alarm! The same goes for this boss. How could he afford to offend these noble people and dare to sell fakes?"
Shuangjiang also agreed: "Yes, yes, that's what I heard. I also heard that the noble lady complained when she got back. No... her family members came to the door."
"Hey! It turns out to be a rumor! I really thought that such a big person disappeared out of thin air here! It's scary."
"That's right! Who is the person spreading the rumor? It's too much. Isn't it obvious that you want to ruin someone's reputation? It's too bad."
The Pei family members who were among the crowd were originally responsible for spreading rumors and ruining the reputation of the Jiang family's female family members.
But now, the Imperial Concubine has also thought of this trick, and has placed many people who can turn things around among the people, so they don't dare to speak out.
If he is caught and found out that he is a servant of the Pei family, Mr. Zhongshu will definitely silence him.
Shop backyard——
The shopkeeper, who was beaten half to death, knelt on the ground and touched the blood on his mouth: "Hiss--you... who are you? You broke into private houses. I'm going to report to the police to arrest you."
"Report to the official?"
Jiang Xinyue waved her hand: "The newly appointed governor of Qinzhou, the minister of Dali Temple, and the minister of punishment are all here. Tell me... which official do you want to report to?"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened: "You...you..."
"Snapped!"
Xiao Xiangzi kicked the shopkeeper on the back shoulder, knocking him to the ground: "Bold untouchable, you and the imperial concubine are yours and mine, be careful we pull out your tongue."
"The emperor...the emperor's noble concubine?"
This... no one told him that the person he offended was the Imperial Concubine!
Jiang Xinyue ignored the shopkeeper and pointed her sword at the waiter who was kicked away: "You only have one chance to tell me, where did you hide the girl who was knocked unconscious by you today?"
The waiter shivered and looked at the shopkeeper who was beaten into a pig's head: "Young one...Young one doesn't know anything."
"ah!"
Jiang Xinyue swung her long sword and saw blood sealing her throat. The waiter's body fell straight down. She didn't believe that she had died like this until her death.
The imperial concubine was decisive in her killing. Although some people thought it was bloody, no one thought the waiter was innocent.
This ready-to-wear shop has a fitting room that hides dirt and evil. It is absolutely impossible for the shopkeeper and waiter not to know about it.
Jiang Yuncai had someone who made the decision for her, so the shopkeeper was arrested. So where were the other victims, the girls with no connections, where were they sold?
The shopkeeper almost peed his pants when he saw Jiang Xinyue killing people without blinking an eye.
He was involved in human trafficking, but he had never killed anyone!
The tip of the sword, stained with the smell of blood, touched the tip of the shopkeeper's nose, and the strong smell of rust made his head feel dizzy.
Then I heard the cold voice of the female King of Hell: "It's your turn, it's your choice whether to live or die."
The shopkeeper was trembling and his eyes were moving crazily, as if he was looking for a familiar backer who could protect him.
Those who were glanced at by his eyes lowered their heads with a guilty conscience, not daring to meet his eyes.
Just kidding?
The Imperial Concubine is the only concubine in the harem who dares to kill someone in front of everyone. She has her own confidence. Who dares to go against her?
"Did not say?"
Jiang Xinyue raised her sword high: "Then why do I keep you? I will use your head to sacrifice my cousin."
"Uh-huh!"
"Talk, talk, talk...I say...I say!"
How could anyone interrogate a prisoner like this?
If he says something wrong, he will be killed, but he should ask more questions!
"It's...at Yihong Tower. You have to go quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
In Qinzhou City, the lights are brightly lit.
The dazzling lights tell the prosperity and luxury of this leisurely ancient city.
Yihong Tower, Tomb of Heroes, and Golden Grotto.
"Oh, uncle, hurry up, hurry up... Little Jinhua has been waiting for you all night. If you don't come, Little Jinhua will go to accompany others."
"I didn't come here just for Little Golden Flower tonight. Didn't I say that there was an official lady in trouble? I haven't played with a noble lady from an official family before!"
In a secret room in Yihong Building, Jiang Yuncai's ten fingers were covered with silver needles, which made her scream in pain.
But the executioner blocked her mouth with a cloth when she screamed, leaving her with nowhere to vent her pain.
His facial features were tightly wrinkled in pain, the veins on his forehead were protruding, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The old madam shook the fan in her hand and hummed: "I don't care who you were before. When you come to my place, you have to listen to me. If I ask you to accept guests, you have to accept them. I still have many ways to torture people. You If you taste them all, you will probably be useless. You are so young, you don’t want to become a useless person, right?"
Jiang Yuncai was so painful that she shed tears, but she was thinking in her heart. After persisting for such a long time without compromising, the time had been delayed long enough, right?
My mother and sister must have gone to move reinforcements to save themselves.
It's time to "compromise".
She shook her head, shook the cloth out hard, took a few breaths and said, "I can... I can pick up guests, but I have a condition. I must be different when I appear."
"What do you want to do differently?"
"Give me a veil. I told you that I am the sister of the current emperor's concubine. You arrested the wrong person. You don't believe it. Now the emperor, the emperor's concubine, and so many people in the capital know me. There may not be no acquaintances tonight. If I am recognized, you will be in trouble and my reputation will be ruined.”
The madam only thought it was funny and laughed secretly in her heart. She was afraid that this girl was going crazy. The trafficker who sold her here clearly said that she was just a government official daughter who was in trouble and had no background.
It is true that many officials have been sacked in Qinzhou and Guiyang recently. It is not difficult for the traffickers to kidnap one or two officials and noble ladies.
If she was really the imperial concubine's cousin, how dare those people kidnap her?
The madam didn't know that some desperadoes could disguise themselves as traffickers and commit decapitation for the sake of the large sum of money they couldn't refuse.
"It's useless to talk more. As long as you give me a veil, I will listen to you."
The madam only thinks that she is doing it to increase her own worth, and it doesn't matter if she does a mysterious stunt. As long as it can make money for her Yihong Building, she can satisfy any request that is not too excessive.
