I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Qin Mowei lowered his head and smiled. Jiang Yuan's words were harsh, but very interesting.

"I never knew that the girl had such good skills. You hid them so well when you were in the capital." His eyes were as sharp as a knife. Qin Mo was infinitely close to the correct answer, but he missed it just because of a little clue.

Pour the incense powder on the weighing plate into the bowl, and use a brush to sweep the remaining powder on the bottom of the plate into the bowl.

He slowly began to weigh the next incense powder, "Hide? Your Highness is wrongly accusing me of that. Didn't I tell you that I can't do that?"

"Forget it. Fortunately, they are all people who deserve to die. I still have a little doubt, and I hope the young lady can answer it."

"what?"

"The girl seems to be very hostile to me. I wonder how I have offended her?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head slowly, "No, the prince has not offended me."

"Then why?"

"Because the prince is very smart."

"Thank you for the compliment, girl."

"But I don't like smart people."

Qin Mo was choked. What did that mean? Wasn't she praising him?

Without Jiang Yuan's telling, Qin Mo recounted for him the few times they had met, especially at the beginning, when he had interrogated her as if she were a suspect.

At that time, there was no evidence to prove that it was Jiang Yuan, but he just felt that it was related to Jiang Yuan. So in the absence of evidence, he treated Jiang Yuan as a suspect, and his words were indeed not very polite.

Now that I think about it, I was not wrong. Whether it was those people who were stripped naked and hung on the trees, or those who were robbed and killed on the way back to Beijing from the Jiang Mansion, they were all killed by Jiang Yuan.

If it were me, I wouldn’t have had a good impression of the person who almost caught me.

Qin Mo smiled helplessly, it turned out that he had blocked his own way.

"Why is the prince here?" Jiang Yuan did not continue this topic and asked other questions instead.

Qin Mo left Jiang Yuan's place and walked to the other side of the table to pour himself a cup of tea, "Lord Yuan returned to the capital on a fast horse, saying that you were assassinated on the road.

The Emperor knows this trip is dangerous, so he ordered me to bring 20 masters from the Forbidden Palace to protect you."

"For a mission like this, there's no need for His Royal Highness to go there in person, right?"

"Miss Jiang doesn't like smart people, but Miss Jiang is also a smart person, and smart people shouldn't know too much."

Jiang Yuan looked up at Qin Mowei, nodded with a smile, then picked up a porcelain bottle from the table and handed it to Qin Mowei.

After opening it, there were five incense pills inside.

"Wear this incense to protect you from all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Five hundred taels. I'll give you 20% off. Four hundred taels, in cash or in banknotes?"

Qin Mowei chuckled, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, took out four hundred taels and put them in Jiang Yuan's hand, "Thank you, young lady."

"You're welcome. Take care."

Sure enough, the next day, Qu Ying came running over, with the corners of his mouth stretched to the back of his head, "A Yuan, A Yuan, I have good news for you. My third cousin has passed away."

"So happy?"

"Of course. I didn't sleep well yesterday. If my third cousin were to live with us, I might as well go back to Beijing." Qu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Not only her, but Xie Yunxiao and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

The fear of Qin Mowei is truly engraved in his bones.

The matter of the girls in the Tiger Village also came to an end. The magistrate gave some silver to the girls from the gold and silver treasures confiscated from the Tiger Village.

In the name of the government, they rented a small courtyard in a village not far from the town, and the girls lived together from then on.

Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying personally sent the girls to the village. There were five houses in a small courtyard. The courtyard in the middle was very large and there was a well. It was not far from the town, so life was convenient.

Several girls discussed that they knew how to dye cloth and wanted to open a small dyeing workshop to make a living.

They had their own plans, and Jiang Yuan felt relieved. When they returned to the town, Qu Ying said she would buy some chickens and ducks for them. The eggs they laid could be eaten or sold.

Jiang Yuan also took some silver. The government office did not give them much silver. If they opened a dyeing workshop and needed to buy dyes and cloth, they might not have enough silver.

Chunzhi and Luzhu also bought some vegetables and meat, drove two horse-drawn carriages, and delivered them to several girls, which made the girls cry one after another. Sometimes they said that they had a miserable life, and sometimes they said that they had a good life.

On the way back in the carriage, Chunzhi and Luzhu were chatting. Chunzhi retracted her head from the window and sighed, "I don't know if their parents and family members are still alive."

Luzhu was holding a few handkerchiefs that were given to her by the girls just now. She was choosing the ones she wanted. "They should be there, but it doesn't matter if they are there or not. They can't go back."

"Alas, it's pitiful." Chunzhi sighed.

Jiang Yuan, who was sitting opposite with his eyes closed, spoke up, "I heard from my brother that one of them was sold to the Tiger Village by my brother and sister-in-law.

There was another one who once escaped and met her parents who were selling firewood at the foot of the mountain, but her parents pretended not to know her. She was disheartened and had nowhere to go, so she was caught by people from the Tiger Village.

Her parents watched helplessly as she was captured. "

Qu Ying was indignant, especially about the one who was sold to Menghuzhai.

So it may not be a bad thing for them that they can now set up their own business.

Qu Ying was invited to have tea and asked Jiang Yuan if she wanted to go. Jiang Yuan refused. She hated such occasions the most and had to put on a fake smile.

Jiang Yuan followed Xie Yunxiao to the local garrison, where there were three thousand troops stationed just outside the city.

Each county in Dayu has a fixed number of garrisons, scattered in every important town. If there is a riot or other incident, the county garrison commander has the right to order the garrison to quell the rebellion.

The garrison has a fixed training program every day. Although the main purpose of Xie Yunxiao's trip is protection, he also has another task, which is to inspect the training situation of the garrison and summarize and report it.

Corruption in the military is no less than anywhere else. Private ownership of military land, secret sale of weapons, and even using military pay to lend out at high interest rates are common problems in the military, and this trip also has the purpose of investigating them.

Therefore, Xie Yunxiao would visit each garrison point. Jiang Yuan had never followed him before, but seeing that she was really bored these days, Xie Yunxiao took her to have a look.

As soon as he arrived at the military camp, the captain who came out to receive him saw a girl. His face didn't look good at the moment, and there was some dissatisfaction and contempt in the look he looked at Xie Yunxiao.

"Your humble servant greets General Xie."

Xie Yunxiao raised his hand, "Captain He, you are welcome. I am here to take a look at the training situation of the various garrisons. Captain He, can you take me for a walk?"

Captain He replied, "Yes, but it is not convenient for this girl to enter the barracks."

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows. This was directed at her. "Women are not allowed to enter the military camp?"
