Jiang Wanqing did not answer Shui Yun's words, but suddenly laughed out loud.

Shui Yun's face became a little serious, and she blamed herself and said, "Master, please forgive me. I have crossed the line and shouldn't have said anything about your right and wrong."

Seeing Shui Yun's reaction, Jiang Wanqing withdrew his gaze.

He slowly said, "It's okay. I just suddenly thought of something else. People in the north are always bigger than those in the south. Women... are the same."

Shui Yun frowned, always feeling that there was something else behind Jiang Wanqing's words.

However, I didn't dare to ask it out loud.

The carriage traveled for about an incense stick of time and finally stopped.

Jiang Wanqing, supported by Shuiyun, got off the carriage.

Jiang Wanqing looked around.

The last time, this path was littered with corpses.

Looking at it now, it seems like nothing happened.

Jiang Wanqing's expression changed slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared in his deep eyes.

He raised his voice and said, "You followed me secretly all the way. Could it be that you were a mouse in your previous life?"

As soon as Jiang Wanqing finished speaking, she heard a voice in the distance.

He looked over there and shouted, "Shui Yun! Tu Yu! Capture him!"

Shui Yun stood up and quickly moved towards the place where the movement was happening.

In the jungle, a man in plain clothes came out from the woods and was about to escape.

Unexpectedly, a masked man in black broke out from the mud and blocked the way of the plainclothes man.

Suddenly, the three of them fought together.

But in just a moment, the plainclothes man was at a disadvantage after being beaten by the two men.

Shui Yun stepped forward, subdued the plainclothes man, broke his limbs, and fractured his jaw.

Then, he pressed the man down and came in front of Jiang Wanqing.

The masked man in black saluted towards Jiang Wanqing and disappeared in front of him in an instant.

Jiang Wanqing raised her eyebrows and looked at the man in front of her.

He asked, "Why are you following me?"

The man looked away, unwilling to reply.

At this time, Shui Yun said, "Master! I remember that after the last assassination here, I saw this man here with the man in the bamboo hat."

Man in a bamboo hat?

Jiang Wanqing remembered.

Shui Yun once said that the man in the bamboo hat and another person returned to the Duke of Qi's mansion together.

Both of them are retainers of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an, but they are only temporarily staying in the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

And from Eunuch Fang Su, we learned that the man in the bamboo hat was most likely Zhou Zigu.

The person in front of me...

Jiang Wanqing looked at the man in front of her with twinkling eyes.

He sneered and said, "Was it Zhou Zigu who asked you to follow me, or His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an? Tsk... I think it should be Zhou Zigu. After all... he should be more curious about me."

As if he had been guessed, the man looked shocked.

Then he said: "You really have already known the news that Lord Zhou is not dead!"

Because of his broken jaw, the man spoke with slurred speech.

Shui Yun on the side looked at Jiang Wanqing.

He asked, "Master, he already knows about this matter. If not, just kill him!"

Jiang Wanqing shook her head.

Both the man and Shui Yun had confusion in their eyes.

Jiang Wanqing said slowly, "Will the burning of the grain in a few days still require a 'murderer'? Since Zhou Zigu was in charge of burning the grain this time, if his bodies were left at the scene, I wonder how he will explain to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an?

After all, Zhou Zigu had already failed in the last fake copper coin case, causing His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an to get into trouble. If he fails again this time...I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an would still be willing to have Zhou Zigu as his retainer?"

As Jiang Wanqing's words fell one by one.

The man's face turned pale in an instant.

What a clever trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife...

Shui Yun nodded: "Yes, Madam, then keep him for two days!"

Shui Yun waved her hand.

Two black figures suddenly jumped out of the jungle and took the man away the next second.

Jiang Wanqing turned around and walked towards the carriage.

But I gradually understood in my heart.

I'm afraid Zhou Zigu has already begun to suspect me.

Otherwise, no one would follow me.

After the issue of food and fodder is resolved, it seems that Zhou Zigu will have to be forced to "go home".

……

Ever since Xiang Zhuangyu died.

In the past two days, Madam Zhou and Song Nansheng have not caused any trouble, and they have been peaceful for two days.

This night, the day for the transaction with Xie Yanhai arrived.

In the evening, when everyone in the house had almost fallen asleep.

Jiang Wanqing changed into men's clothes, picked up a wooden box, and climbed over the wall.

Outside the wall, Shuiyun was already waiting with a carriage.

After Jiang Wanqing got on the carriage, Shui Yun drove the carriage towards the pier.

Jiang Wanqing had just steadied himself when he heard a voice coming from outside the carriage: "Master, the number of people at the military grain warehouse has suddenly dropped a lot tonight. I'm afraid Xie Yanhai has already transported the grain out, and is afraid that the matter will be exposed. In order to be on the safe side, he may have notified Zhou Zigu tonight to take action on the grain."

Jiang Wanqing's eyes flickered when she heard this.

He sneered, "If that's the case, then we should naturally join in the fun. Remember, bring along the person Zhou Zigu sent to follow us.

Xie Yanhai is going to trade with us tonight. He hasn't received all the money, but he has sold the food successfully. I think the military rations department won't take action yet.

Once the dock transaction is over, we will secretly follow Xie Yanhai back! If the food is really burned tonight, we will add another big fire!"

Shui Yun responded in a deep voice: "Yes! Master!"

A horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly along the long street in the dark night.

Finally arrived at the pier.

Jiang Wanqing, supported by Shuiyun, got off the carriage.

I felt a cool breeze blowing towards me.

On the dock, there were at least twenty large ships densely packed together, occupying the entire dock.

Jiang Wanqing glanced around, and Xie Yanhai, who was not far away, also saw Jiang Wanqing.

Suddenly he trotted towards Jiang Wanqing.

Xie Yanhai stopped in front of Jiang Wanqing, breathing slightly.

He smiled and said, "At this point, I thought Master Qin would not come today."

Jiang Wanqing yawned.

Pointing at the ships not far away, he said lazily, "Sorry, I slept a little too long this afternoon. Has all the food been moved aboard now?"

Xie Yanhai followed Jiang Wanqing's line of sight.

Then he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Qin. The 360,000 dan of grain has been moved up. If you are worried, you can go check it out again."

Jiang Wanqing caught a glimpse of Feng Xingzhi on the nearest boat from the corner of his eye. He seemed to be counting and checking the food.

At that moment, Jiang Wanqing looked at Xie Yanhai and said slowly: "Of course I believe you, but..."

Xie Yanhai's eyebrows jumped, and he asked uneasily: "Just what?"
