Cheng Qingqing nodded, "I have an antidote, but I will only give you the antidote to suppress the poison. When I return from Daxing Country, I will give you the real antidote and set you free."

These people are all masters of the world, with unruly temperaments and disobedience to discipline. If they don't use some extraordinary means, they will not obey her orders honestly.

"You people are well-informed in the world. You should have known for a long time that King Jing'an and I are going to Daxing Country to carry out proton matters."

"I know..." Xiu Mei asked tentatively: "Then what do you want us to do?"

Don't you want them to kill Emperor Daxing?

"Since you obey my orders, you will be members of my Cheng family from now on. From today on, Baimeilou is not allowed to take orders to kill people. As long as you protect the people of the Cheng family, I will also pay you wages, and you can also settle down in Kyoto. Marry a wife and have children, and no longer live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife."

Xiu Mei was stunned, "Just asking us to protect the Cheng family?"

"Otherwise?" Cheng Qingqing said as she walked up to Xiu Mei, "Let me see your hand."

Xiu Mei didn't know what she was going to do, so she hesitated and stretched out a hand.

Cheng Qingqing placed her fingers on his pulse and felt it carefully.

After a moment, she retracted her hand and said, "The poison in your body will take effect in seven or eight days. I hope you will come to the Cheng family in Fengjin Kyoto to find me in seven days."

Baimei Tower is actually composed of a hundred masters. These people are all obsessed with Xiaomei, poisoned and controlled by him, and have to work hard to make money for him.

After hearing this, all eight people bowed their hands to her and said: "Greetings to the original poster!"

Before Cheng Qingqing could speak, Xiu Mei stood up, walked to Xiao Mei's body, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Cheng Qingqing with both hands.

"Lord, you will be our new master from now on."

Cheng Qingqing took the token and saw that it was a token made of black iron with a ghastly skull carved on it.

"Master, there is Xiaomei's money in the main building. Please go and check it." Xiumei said again.

"Xiao Mei's money?" Cheng Qingqing looked at Xiao Mei's body on the ground.

This man is greedy for money and lustful, and the people who work for him are all top masters. They have taken big orders over the years, and they must have accumulated a lot of gold and silver.

Taking the Lin family as an example, they once offered 80 taels of gold for Li Beimo's head. Although the mission was unsuccessful, they received a deposit of 20 taels of gold first.

She put away the token, looked at Li Beimo and asked, "How about we go take a look?"

"Okay, let's take a look." Li Beimo naturally agreed.

They are the poorest country among the Seven Kingdoms. How can they not take it if they have money?

In this way, led by eight people from Xiu Mei, they first bought a few more horses in nearby towns and went straight to the main building of Baimei Tower.

*****

It was not until ten days later that Cheng Qingqing and Li Beimo returned to Fengjin Kyoto with 98 people from Baimei Tower.

Because they were also pulling dozens of carriages, and the boxes on them were all Xiaomei's belongings.

It was after they arrived at Baimei's main building and pried open Xiaomei's underground warehouse that they discovered these mountains of treasures.

In addition to gold, silver and silver notes, the boxes were filled with rare and valuable treasures, as if all the treasures in the world had been looted by the demon.

Even Li Beimo and Cheng Qingqing were shocked.

Back in Kyoto, Cheng Qingqing discussed with Li Beimo and divided the treasures into three parts, one for Li Beimo, one for her, and one for all the 98 people in Baimei Tower.

Li Beimo's share was sent directly to the palace to fill the emptiness of the treasury. Cheng Qingqing accepted the offer herself because she didn't want her mother to know about it.

Although it is only one-third, it is still considerable to be distributed to 98 people.

Xiu Mei and others were all given a small box of gold bars, some rare treasures, and 50 taels of silver notes.

They had been gone for nearly half a month, but Emperor Jiahe was worried a lot. Why didn't he have a bodyguard with him? Why did something happen?

Li Beimo didn't hide anything from him and told him everything about their visit to Baimei Tower.

Seeing the treasures he had brought into the palace, Emperor Jiahe sighed softly, but did not say any words of blame.

Compared with these treasures, he did not want his son to take risks.

"Mo'er, we only have about ten days before we leave Daxingguo. You and Qingqing should prepare well!"

"I understand, father, I'm going to retire." Li Beimo resigned and left.

He was also depressed. He wanted to marry Qingqing before leaving, but now he couldn't.

Cheng Mansion.

Cheng Qingqing asked Butler Xiao to take the people from Baimei Building down to arrange accommodation, and then went to see Cheng Ying and her younger brother before returning to her yard.

"Miss, you are finally back. Madam is so worried about you, and this servant is also worried."

Bixia kept talking to her along the way, "The prince will marry the prince tomorrow."

Cheng Qingqing was surprised, "You mean Li Jinchuan is going to marry Shangguan Yu tomorrow?"

Bixia nodded, "Yes! Not only did she marry Shangguan Yu as the crown prince, she also took in two concubines together. Everyone in Kyoto knows about it."

"Then there will be a lot of fun tomorrow." Cheng Qingqing said.

Shangguan Yu's facial injury has not healed yet, and with Li Jinchuan's virtue, it is impossible for him to have sex with her.

Bixia added: "Miss, I heard that in order to get help from the Prime Minister's Palace, the Prince also wanted to take Miss Fan Yuner from the Prime Minister's family as his concubine! But the Prime Minister refused."

"Is this possible?" Cheng Qingqing couldn't help but be curious about the two concubines he took in: "Whose ladies are those two concubines?"

"There are concubines from the Minister of Industry and Commerce, as well as legitimate daughters from General Fang's family. I heard that the young lady from the Fang family is a ruthless character, and the servants will be beaten to death if they are not careful."

Cheng Qingqing curled her lips slightly. It will be very lively for these top talents to marry into the East Palace. "Is there anything else new?"

"Also...our Cheng family's shops in other places were robbed a lot." Bixia told her everything she knew.

"I know." Cheng Qingqing's eyes turned cold, and she knew who did it without having to guess.

She sent Bixia away on the pretext that she needed to rest, and took a nice bath in the space before falling into her soft bed to sleep.

She was really tired from running around for days, and she didn't wake up until midnight.

I got up and made myself a cup of coffee, thinking about the current situation.

Li Beimo's counterattack was very successful this time, catching the Lin family off guard. Although they had private soldiers, they were afraid of Li Beimo's strength and did not dare to rebel now, so they suffered another heavy loss.

Thinking that her shop had been robbed again, she felt angry and decided to break into Lin's house again tonight.

The first is to collect the memories of the Lin family, see if they can find out where the Lin family kept their private soldiers, and then get back the things they stole.

Seeing that it was almost time, he changed into night clothes and left Cheng's house.

When she arrived outside the Lin Mansion, she remembered what Li Beimo had said to her and became cautious.
