After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Jiang Si began to feel extremely regretful at this moment. Compared to the eldest daughter, his daughter obviously had a greater impact on him.

He began to regret his rash behavior in front of the door. At least, he should have investigated first.

However, Bai Qingyun obviously would not give this person a chance to regret.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Bai Qingyun was very satisfied with the effect of his previous actions.

She stood up, holding Huohuo's body under the warm sunshine of late spring, but she didn't look gentle at all, only cold and indifferent, keeping people at a distance.

She looked at him without any pity, and said with her thin lips: "You said that your mission here, in addition to following the orders of the head of the Jiang family to transport the goods, is to follow the instructions of the old lady to alienate us from the Jiang family, right?"

"Yes... yes..." Jiang Si was forced to retreat step by step by such a look. He did not care about his injuries and supported himself on the ground with his hands until he had no room to retreat. He answered hurriedly with a trembling voice.

It was obvious that he was extremely shocked by the strange vision in the eyes of the fiery red fox in Bai Qingyun's arms.

But he also knew that he was not dead because his existence was valuable.

Because, this time, he has other tasks.

But how long can such value last? Will he be swallowed by the monster in front of him the next second after he opens his mouth, or will he have his tongue cut off by someone?

He shook himself, and became more determined not to tell anyone about the final mission.

Otherwise, let alone life, it would be difficult to survive even if I finally returned to Kyoto!

That person will not let the person who leaked the information go!

However, under the influence of the mysterious medicine diluted with tea and the strange phenomenon, Jiang Si's determination was destined to be just a bubble, which could be easily pierced by Bai Qingyun's sharp words.

But what is the final secret about?

Bai Qingyun didn't know the situation of the Jiang family, and he didn't even know the personnel composition of the Jiang family. The current known conditions were not enough to make effective speculations.

Fortunately, she still had the effect of the truth spirit liquid, so she didn't have to worry about it at all. She looked at the other party with sharp eyes and asked directly: "Your mission is more than just this, right?"

Jiang Si's careless gaze immediately made his heart start to dance. This feeling was no different from the nervousness before facing death. He subconsciously said, "Yes!"

His teeth were tightly clenched and a muffled sound came from his unopened mouth.

Bai Qingyun smiled without comment. This kind of resistance was obviously much lower-level than the resistance with biting the tongue at the beginning. It seemed that the other party was already tired of dealing with it.

This is good, at least the trial doesn't take too much effort.

"What's the mission?" She squatted down curiously and asked softly, like a fairy who didn't care about the mundane affairs of the mortal world. She was elegant and untouchable, even though they were very close.

Jiang Si still gritted his teeth and persisted, even though he knew that such childish resistance would be futile. However, it was undeniable that he was shocked by Bai Qingyun's eyes the moment he met them.

His mouth seemed to be cast with some secret magic, and he said unconsciously: "Your Majesty is seriously ill. Jishidiang searched for the thousand-year-old snow lotus, and finally found it in Jishidiang in Baiyang Town, Bingzhou. Only then can the disease be delayed."

Bai Qingyun stood up and looked at Bai's father, and both saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

Jiang Si continued, "Since the year before last, the old lady has been seriously ill, and Jishidiang has been searching for famous medicines, until the thousand-year-old snow lotus appeared. The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital came to diagnose it. If they could get another one, the old lady's condition could be stabilized."

"Our mission this time is to go to Bingzhou to look for new snow lotus."

"Do you know the origin of that thousand-year-old snow lotus and who offered it?" Bai Qingyun asked in a deep voice, but his heart was still filled with emotions.

During the brief eye contact with Mr. Bai, she also saw the worry in his eyes.

"know."

Jiang Si's two short words broke the silence of the courtyard where people were watching Bai Qingyun quietly. Bai's father clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, with veins bulging faintly, and fiercely suppressed the fear and worry in his heart.

Originally, Bai's mother was trying to touch Jiang's mother with her hands, but now she nervously grabbed Jiang's mother, leaving a faint mark on her well-maintained hands.

Jiang's mother is a little confused now, but she can't let go of the hands that are holding hers, and there is no sign of wanting to let go.

Although Uncle Fu and Father Jiang could not see the hidden emotions of Father Bai, they were still attracted by Mother Bai's slight actions. They began to make some vague guesses in their hearts. Looking into Jiang Si's eyes, the murderous intent became much more obvious.

Perhaps the only calm person at the scene was Bai Qingyun!

She continued to ask calmly, "Oh? Who is that? How did you know?"

Jiang Si only glanced at Bai Qingyun indifferently. It was obvious that when working for the old patriarch, being observant was a skill not worth showing off, but it might be able to save his life at this time.

He also saw the look in Uncle Fu's eyes as he looked at the tightly clasped hands of the eldest lady and the eldest lady, and sensed the change. Combined with the way the other party introduced themselves outside the mansion, some plans began to form in his mind.

If it were in the past, he would have been able to accomplish his plan, but with the experience of being tricked several times before, he is not so naive as to think that he can suppress the secret in his heart.

However, if I save my life and return to Kyoto, I can make use of the manpower of the old master and the old lady...

He looked into Bai Qingyun's eyes. The fear he had at the beginning was no longer in his eyes. With confidence, he gradually calmed down.

"It's not easy to find out. The head of Baiyang Town's Jishitang was the person in charge, and he took more than 1,000 taels of silver from the county as a transaction. Whether we investigate from within Jishitang or from the silver and money transactions in the hands of the people of Baiyang Town, we will be able to get results."

"However, during that period, Bingzhou was in turmoil. Not only Baiyang Town, but the people of the entire Bingzhou Prefecture were fleeing everywhere. It took a lot of effort to investigate the money transactions."

"So you transferred Manager Li away!" Bai Qingyun said affirmatively.

"Yes, Jingdou sent a letter to ask once, but the head of the family evaded the question. He thought he was just letting things take their own course, but considering the family head's temperament, it's a matter concerning His Majesty's life, so how could he not try to find a way to investigate it thoroughly?"

"Bingzhou is too far away, but fortunately, Jishiditang in Kyoto is a wealthy place that officials from all over the country are trying their best to get to. With a transfer order, the problem can be solved."

Thinking back to when Manager Li learned that he had made a great contribution because of the transaction with the Bai family and finally left the poor and remote Baiyang Town, the smile lines at the corners of his eyes deepened a little.

Bai Qingyun couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What did you do to him?"
