After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

After the meal, Shen Ning went to see Tao Ji.

Tao Ji cried and shouted in pain, and Yuzhu cursed and asked her to loosen the rope. The main reason was that Tao Ji's hands were all red from the rope, and Yuzhu was afraid that she would be hurt.

Of course, she didn't just loosen the rope. She tied a new one first and then loosened the old one, trying to guard it tightly and not give Tao Ji a chance to escape.

Seeing Shen Ning coming, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Tao Ji felt that she might not be tortured soon, and Yuzhu felt that her mission was accomplished and did not let Tao Ji escape again.

"Miss."

Shen Ning asked Yuzhu to go eat. Facing Tao Ji's expectant gaze, she did not ask first, but lifted her skirt and sat on the chair next to her, thinking about something.

She was not in a hurry, but Tao Ji was.

"My dear lady, if you have something to say, just say it. If you have anything to ask, just ask it now."

This girl Yuzhu's technique of tying people up is so poor that it hurts her so much. If she is tied up any further, she will be crippled. She has waited so long for a young lady to come, but she is not given a quick death.

Shen Ning came back to his senses and tapped the armrest with his knuckles: "What do you think I want to ask?"

Tao Ji was speechless. These people were so cunning that they even had to beat around the bush when asking questions.

"I am following the orders of King Zhao now, but he is not my real master."

"My previous encounter with the young lady was an accident. It was not me who took the initiative to mention you to King Zhao. King Zhao was investigating you, and I happened to be returning from your place, so I wanted to say something good about you. King Zhao admired you very much and said he wanted to take you in, and then asked me to take you with him."

Tao Ji said with aggrieved expression: "King Zhao is of noble status. If you help him run his business, he will be your backer in the future. It won't be a bad thing for you."

Shen Ning stared at Tao Ji calmly, trying to find any traces of acting on her face.

She could only believe half of what Tao Ji said.

No matter what the truth is, she still believes in her own inference. Of course, it may also be that she is guilty.

Although Shen Ning was not a thief, when King Zhao brought up the Jinbao Tower, she sensed danger the first moment.

In the previous life, the Liu family was massacred and the Liu family was the victim. Later, the Marquis' Mansion and the Zhang family, the Minister of Revenue, stood up for justice and sought justice for the Liu family.

Now that I think about it, in my previous life, they were willing to expose themselves and stand out, and even participate in the fight for the Liu family's assets. It might not just be for that little bit of money, but probably for the gold bricks from the national treasury hidden under the Jinbao Building so that no one would discover them.

In his previous life, King Zhao relied on these riches to support the power in his hands, and was eventually able to defeat the prince and his men.

But in this life, the Jinbao Tower was burned down, a group of people from the Ministry of Revenue were implicated, and all the wealth of the Liu family was confiscated, which was equivalent to taking away King Zhao's purse.

Why did King Zhao look for her? Did he hear that she could make money and wanted to use her as a new money bag? Obviously, this is not true.

There are many merchants in the capital who are richer than her, and her abilities are simply not enough.

Moreover, Jinbao Tower was burned down, and although the land deed was leaked from the official source, it would still be a hot potato for whoever holds it.

King Zhao didn't let her deal with anything else, but instead threw the Jinbao Tower to her. It seemed that he didn't want her to make money, but more like he wanted to harm her.

The two buildings next door are valuable in themselves and are already managed by a shopkeeper. Why does she need to get involved?

But packing it up and throwing it to her now seems more like throwing a trouble.

Tao Ji said that King Zhao had been investigating her before. Was it because of the existence of Mo Lin and his sister, or because of Li Shaobai?

The timing of Mo Xueer's rescue was too coincidental. With King Zhao's ability, it would not be difficult to find out that the two of them were in her house.

And Li Shaobai, he is the main force in this matter, King Zhao can't be unaware of him, and there is also the gold brick...

The more Shen Ning thought about it, the more she broke out in a cold sweat. She could only blame herself for thinking too simply at the time. She was only thinking about saving Mo Lin and his sister, and she thought that the Liu family was being investigated and was too busy to take care of themselves, so the two siblings would not be noticed.

She underestimated those people and thus got herself dragged into the vortex.

She couldn't completely believe what Tao Ji said, but this was the only way the logic made sense.

What she saw today made her realize that King Zhao was a man with deep scheming and good methods.

If she didn't do what he wanted, there would be blood today.

But as soon as she agreed, King Zhao released her, which seemed even more wrong.

Her intuition told her that there was a great potential danger here, and all she could think of now was a corruption case.

The Ministry of Revenue's case has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Anyone who touches Jinbao Tower will definitely be noticed by the officials. If they are involved in a corruption case, the whole family will be wiped out soon.

In other words, there is no need to move anything. Whoever owns the deeds to those buildings will suffer.

This is clearly a trap.

Prince Zhao was afraid that the Emperor would find out about his relationship with the Ministry of Revenue, so he gave her these shops and used her as a target to confuse the investigators.

How else to explain his deliberate appearance, pretending to win over others but actually intimidating them?

What he wanted was not for her to help him make money, but a scapegoat.

The idea of ​​taking her as a concubine was simply a means to deceive people. If she wanted to curry favor with the powerful, she might die without knowing how.

But it's still not right...

Shen Ning looked at Tao Ji deeply, then stood up and left.

Tao Ji panicked: "No, please let me go, I really mean no harm."

Shen Ning paused and turned back: "You said your master is not King Zhao, then who is it?"

Tao Ji didn't say anything, but just looked at her with complicated eyes, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Shen Ning didn't ask any more questions: "Take your time to think about whether you want to say it or not."

Tao Ji: "......" Can't you just let her go and think about it? She won't run away.

Shen Ning went out. The dark night was not as dark and thick as her mood.

It felt like there was a knife hanging around my neck at this moment.

She had to get out of this quickly before anyone noticed she was involved.

But she obviously did not have the power to fight against King Zhao.

Even if people like Ye Feiyan and Li Shaobai can be used, they are not enough to fight against King Zhao. Instead, they are likely to be implicated and killed.

Ye Feiyan is Du Yunzhi's future husband, she can't harm them

The Prince of Qi's Palace could indeed compete with them, but she only had some feelings for Princess Changle, and she didn't have the face to ask the Prince of Qi for help.

After careful calculation, she actually had no chance of winning.

The catastrophe was right in front of him. Shen Ning was sweating all over and felt a chill on his back.

And the source of all this was just because she saved Mo Lin and his sister. Would this have happened if she hadn't interfered in their fate?

Is this karma? She changed the fate of others and must bear the consequences.

She knew nothing in her previous life, and these conspiracies had nothing to do with her.

But Mo Lin is loyal to her, and Mo Xueer is so well-behaved and cute.

Think about how Mo Lin was beheaded and how Mo Xueer was tortured to death.

She was still willing to save them herself.

They knew how to be grateful and loyal, they shouldn't have died so miserably.

But now she was at a dead end.
