As soon as Sun Ji asked, the woman on the bed quickly asked for mercy.
"Master Sun, we really don't know," the woman cried out, "Mr. Zhao just passed by my door that night and asked for a bowl of water from my father and brother."
"Sir, what I said is the truth."
Sun Ji's face was calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The steward sighed and waved his hand, and the servant immediately stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hands and feet.
The woman refused to submit and started struggling without any regard for shame. However, the Sun family servants were used to this kind of thing, so they pinched the woman's neck and dragged her off the bed.
It's like it's not a life, but a useless thing.
"Tie her in front of her father and brother," Sun Ji said. "Give them another hour to work. If they refuse to talk, throw them out together."
Of course, throwing them out does not mean letting them go, but killing them.
Sun Ji spent a lot of time looking for Zhao Jingyun, and gradually lost his patience. How could Zhao Jingyun be so well-hidden without the protection of these people?
Even if the person being dealt with today really doesn't know the whereabouts of Zhao Jingyun, he will still have to die. What should he do with a useless person?
After drinking a cup of tea, Sun Ji went to the study refreshed.
There are already cronies waiting for him there.
"Sir," the confidant reported, "our people sent back news from Min County and found nothing unusual. Officials from Min County have already come to Taozhou."
Sun Ji nodded and Zhao Jingyan sent him a message that Zhao Jingyun was going to Lanzhou to ask for reinforcements. As long as he was on guard against any movement in Lanzhou and there were no troops mobilizing near Min County, he didn't have to worry.
The confidant said: "We also have people keeping an eye on the merchants in Min County. 'Fuji' must be among them, so they won't make any mistakes."
"Don't alarm them," Sun Ji said, "You have to take your time."
The confidants were a little confused: "Why do you care so much about this 'Fu Ji'? Do you think there is someone else behind the 'Fu Ji'?"
Sun Ji smiled: "How can I sell the war horse to a merchant at will? I have secretly inquired about the information you have retrieved. Although there is no exact information, it is inseparable. 'Fu Ji' is closely related to the Feng family."
related."
The cronies finally understood Sun Ji's foresight.
Sun Ji was obviously in a good mood.
He is now the magistrate of the state and has hooked up with the Feng family. As long as the war horse's business is stable, the Feng family will soon drop the pretense of "Fuji" to interact with him, and he will have a firm foothold in the court.
Sun Ji said: "If I hadn't chosen the wrong path back then, why would I have wasted so many years in Taozhou?"
The confidants responded: "It was Prince Yu's palace who misled you. Back then, you wanted to serve Prince Yu, but who knew that Prince Yu passed away, and the young prince of Yu... was blind and refused to use you.
But you already have the intention to get close to Prince Yu's palace, so you are naturally ostracized by the Queen Mother and the young emperor's people, which has made you hit the wall again and again in Taozhou for many years. If you hadn't turned around and approached the Feng family in these years, you would not have been awarded the title of Zhizhou.
position."
There was a hint of evil in Sun Ji's eyes, but he soon smiled: "Young Prince Yu is just an ignorant and reckless man. His promising future was ruined by his own hands. It's a shame he didn't fall in love with me, otherwise
I followed his ship and the ship sank a long time ago."
After saying this, Sun Ji thought of his original intention of defecting to Prince Yu's Mansion.
"The current Holy Father hastily ascended the throne at a young age and is unable to hold on to the authority. However, the current Queen Mother is not his biological mother, so the mother and son still have to fight."
"I originally thought that the mother and son were not stable, so I turned to Prince Yu's Mansion. Who knew that Prince Yu fell ill and passed away? Prince Yu looked smart, but in fact he was often confused."
"The Queen Mother's Feng family and Prince Yu's palace were originally incompatible with each other, but the Queen Mother took a liking to the young prince Yu and wanted to betroth the Feng family daughter to him. If the young prince Yu agreed, they would become in-laws with the Feng family. In the future, the young emperor would not
Zhongyong, the country is not his yet? Who knew he refused."
"How can the Queen Mother tolerate him?"
"Throughout the ages, who would ruin their future because of a woman? Why can't the Feng family daughter marry? No one is more suitable to be Princess Yu than the Feng family daughter at the moment."
"Anyone who stumbles over a woman is either an incompetent person or a foolish person."
The confidant nodded in agreement: "That's what your Excellency said."
Sun Ji never took women seriously. He had many concubines at home, and countless women outside. He would get them if he liked them, and kill them if they disobeyed them.
He could easily kill the eldest lady of the Kong family, let alone others.
However, these things were carefully concealed before he became the governor of the state, but it is different now. Taozhou is his place, and he does not need to be so careful.
When he will catch up with the Feng family, send the war horses out, and then deal with Zhao Jingyun,
"I will leave for Minxian in the next two days," Sun Ji said. "Taozhou will keep an eye on me."
The confidants responded.
Naturally, Sun Ji would not go there by himself. He had already ordered his lieutenants to station troops near Min County. If there was any trouble in Min County, those troops could handle it.
"Sir," the confidant said, "the government office has received news that Nie Shuang of the Wuwei Army has been transferred to Taozhou to serve."
"Don't worry," Sun Ji said, "the current Wu Wei Army is no longer the former Wu Wei Army. By the time Nie Shuang comes, we will have already dealt with everything here."
Without Xiao Yu, the Wuwei Army has nothing to fear.
Nie Shuang was like a lost dog. Even if he found something strange, there was no one to discuss it with. What could Nie Shuang do on his own?
…
At this time, Nie Shuang was in Di shop.
After seeing Sui Yi, Mr. Song stayed at the Qin family and continued to negotiate with Qin Tong about the future matters. Zhao Luoyang returned to Didian to report the news.
Tell everyone about all the pick-and-choose things that happened in the Qin family.
When Nie Shuang heard that Sui had been arrested, although he refused to admit more, he brought up Sun Ji after all, so he couldn't let it go.
"It's really the Sui Dynasty." Nie Shuang muttered. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it. It was really unbelievable that the people who had relocated found out about Sun Ji's buying and selling of war horses and his pursuit of Zhao Jingyun.
Not only did they find out, but they also used the Qin family's help to catch someone.
Nothing went wrong in the middle.
and……
Nie Shuang stared at Zhao Luoyang. The girl from the Zhao family had just secretly said a few words to him, which meant that the Qin family wanted her to meet Sun Ji instead of Sui Ji. In order to reassure the family, the girl from the Zhao family was not prepared to put this matter to rest.
Tell everyone about it.
Nie Shuang was in a daze, how could this work?
How dangerous is this? Is the Zhao girl clear?
Shi Jiu glanced at Nie Shuang and knew what he was thinking. Nie Shuang must have felt that Zhao Luoyang was accidentally involved in this matter, and he didn't know what the outcome would be.
In fact, Nie Shuang didn't know that all this was arranged by Zhao Luoyang himself.
It’s not Nie Shuang’s fault, ordinary people don’t have such courage.
Shi Jiu also thought about Zhao Luoyang, wondering if she had been spoiled by the system, and of course Nie Shuang. If Nie Shuang didn't come, Zhao Luoyang wouldn't dare to think about it.
So Nie Shuang also has the responsibility here.
If Nie Shuang cannot take good care of Zhao Luoyang...
Nie Shuang didn't know why, but he broke out in cold sweat for no reason.
Nie Shuang said nothing. Zhao Xueli frowned and looked at his daughter: "You said you still want to follow Mr. Nie to drug the horses that Sun Ji brought?"
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Mr. Zheng gave me the prescription, I will definitely use it."
"How many days have you been studying?" Mrs. Yang frowned, "Can you just pick up any recipe and use it?"
Zhao Luoyang looked at her mother confidently: "Mother, Mr. Zheng said, my granddaughter is talented, just like you. She has never seen much money since she was a child, but she can save a lot for us."
Old Mrs. Yang choked. She couldn't argue with what she said.
Zhao Luoyang continued: "Mr. Song also said that this method is feasible."
Mrs. Yang finally discovered that every time something happened, it must be related to Mr. Song. From now on, every time her granddaughter went to Mr. Song, she would have to watch and take a closer look at what Mr. Song taught her.
What.
Luo Zhenniang was worried about her daughter: "What will happen if someone discovers this?"
Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing both nodded.
Mrs. Yang went to see her granddaughter. She didn't have any anxiety or fear on her face. She had obviously made up her mind.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Master Nie will follow me secretly. If there is any movement, Master Nie will save me."
Nie Shuang realized that he was suddenly mentioned, and nodded without thinking about talking. He wanted to protect the Zhao family's girl, but the Zhao family didn't know that in addition to drugging the horses, the Zhao family's girl also wanted to see Sun Ji.
What should he do? Should he tell him? He really wants Master Huaiguang. If Master Huaiguang is here, can he give him some advice?
Luo Zhenniang was still worried, but she couldn't talk to her daughter.
Mrs. Yang thought for a moment and said, "When do you want to go?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "It seems that there will be some movement in the next two days. Sir, I want you to leave Minzhou first. If something happens, Lord Nie Shuang may not be able to take care of it."
Let them go?
Mrs. Yang frowned, they just left their little granddaughter like this?
