After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

The guards in front of the carriage gathered around him at this time, and just as they were about to raise their swords, they saw their master died suddenly on the spot, and looked at the masked man in shock.

Cold eyes glanced at them, and the guards' hearts trembled, and they did not dare to step forward.

Qin Yao quickly took off a piece of Guo Lin's waistband as evidence, and rushed out like a bull. All the guards in front of her were knocked away by this super force, and no one could stop her. pace.

In less than three breaths, Guo Lin was dead, the guard was injured, and the murderer escaped without a trace.

A killer who possesses both strength and speed and is very decisive in his methods will find it difficult to survive without death.

"Dong dong!" twice.

It's a knock on the door.

Mu Ling, who had always been sleeping lightly, instantly sat up from the bed. Thinking of someone, she got out of bed and opened the door in disbelief. A double phoenix ring appeared in front of her eyes.

In the middle of the ring, Qin Yao was covering her eyes tightly, with only two eyes exposed.

"I've taken care of your business, when will you do mine?"

Mu Ling took the ring in disbelief. The double phoenix ring was indeed the ring given to Guo Lin by the eldest princess back then. It was the only one in the world.

"So fast?" Mu Ling put away the jade pendant and looked Qin Yao up and down in surprise. She didn't have any weapons on her body, and not even a drop of blood was spattered. How on earth did she do this?

Qin Yao raised her chin towards the room and Mu Ling nodded. She just walked into the room, found the teapot and poured herself a glass of water. After drinking, she said:

"The fewer things I bring, the fewer loopholes I leave, so I didn't bring any weapons. At the time you said, I arrived on time, met the target person, and after confirming his identity, I broke his head and sent him to see him. It’s the Lord of Hell.”

"That's it." Qin Yao counted on her fingers, "From the time I left home to the time I came to your place, it was more than two-quarters of an hour."

On the way, she also bought a bowl of late-night snacks on the roadside and came here while eating.

The boss put a little too much salt in it, which irritated her. Now she drinks a glass of water and feels better.

Of course, Qin Yao didn't tell Mu Ling about this, otherwise she would have been nagging, for example: What should I do if someone sees you coming here so arrogantly?

what to do?

Of course, if it's cold, she'll kill it but not bury it. Cleaning up the tail is another price.

However, there was no surveillance, the incident occurred in the south of the city, and she was eating late-night snacks in the east of the city, so there was basically no possibility of suspicion.

Overall, Qin Yao is quite satisfied with her work efficiency.

Mu Ling stood in front of her, wanting to laugh but smiling sheepishly, and finally offered Qin Yao another olive branch.

"How about I give you the official position of a seventh-grade sergeant, join the Guards, and let you be the deputy captain?"

Qin Yao put down the cup and stood up, waving her hands, "No matter what, I am a family man. If I can't risk everything, I won't delay your success."

Mu Ling tilted his head and laughed at himself, "That's all. I've asked my subordinates to take care of your matter. The results will be available tonight. You go back and wait for the news. It's late at night and I still want to sleep."

This is what it means to see off guests. Qin Yao shrugged, thought about it, and clasped her fists again, "Thank you!"

Mu Ling patted the double phoenix ring in her arms, "You're welcome, that's right."

The two nodded friendly, and the transaction was successfully completed.

Qin Yao withdrew and walked to the rooftop, looking at the chaotic scene in the south of the city, and calmly returned to the inn.

Liu Ji was still sleeping like a dead pig. Qin Yao stepped over him and threw herself into the bed. There seemed to be residual warmth left in it before she left, and she quickly fell asleep peacefully.

at the same time.

The door of Jiang Wen's house was banged hard, and the whole family woke up.

Jiang Wen hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the door, and asked cautiously: "Who is it?" He knocked on the door so late, which was a surprise.

"Open the door!"

There was a woman's voice outside the door, colder than this cold night in the twelfth lunar month: "I'm giving you something."

Jiang Wen felt nervous and didn't dare to open the door. He tried his best to press against the crack of the door and saw a woman in red standing outside in the dim light.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Jiang Wen carefully opened the door a crack.

The woman sneered at him silently, took out a release order from her sleeve and handed it to him, "Your trading company's cargo ship has been parked at the dock. Go get it quickly."

After saying that, he turned around, mounted his horse and left.

People in the city were not allowed to ride horses in the city at night, but the other party dared to ignore the rules. Jiang Wen was both happy and surprised.

Fortunately, the seizure of the cargo ship that I had been worrying about for several months has been lifted.

What surprised them was the identity of the other party. Who helped them?

This woman is obviously not from the government, but judging from her dress and aura, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

But now Jiang Wen didn't have time to think so much, and the cargo ship couldn't be delayed for a moment. He hurried back to his house, put on his clothes, comforted his family, got the release order and hurried out.

First, wake up the people from the trading house and rush to the dock to pick up the goods overnight.

When the sky lit up, all the impounded cargo ships were counted. A few boxes of high-quality tea were missing, which was equivalent to three to four hundred taels of silver. However, such losses were already unexpectedly low.

When Jiang Wen was taking inventory of the goods, he also discovered several boxes of fine porcelain that were arranged in a mess. He initially thought that they had been rummaged through by people from the Water Transport Department during inspection.

Later, the waiter reminded me that there were signs of use in the porcelain cup, and I realized that it had been taken away and then returned.

Because he had to rush and didn't have time to clean up, the stain was left, so it's not difficult to imagine the fear and panic the other party felt at that time.

Jiang Wen was full of doubts. He packed up the goods and was about to take people away. The Secretary of Transportation from the Water Transportation Department actually came.

An adult whom I had never met before actually came over to ask his little shopkeeper whether there were any missing goods. If so, you can talk to him and he will definitely help find them.

Jiang Wen was flattered. How dare he bother Mr. Yun Si to help find goods worth "a mere three or four hundred taels of silver"? He quickly said there was none.

Master Yunji said that he felt relieved, and complained openly and secretly, hinting to him that he had the support of big shots, why didn't he tell him earlier, which made him so embarrassed now.

Until he returned to the trading house, Jiang Wen was still confused.

All the answers became clear to him only when the clerk heard that Guo Lin, the shopkeeper of Jingyun Trading Company, was murdered and died suddenly last night.

If he read it correctly, the female soldier who was following the government, wearing a red military uniform, and with a cold face ordered the officials of Zijing Mansion to thoroughly investigate the Guo Lin case. She wanted to see who was so bold as to touch their Highness's people. She should be the woman who came to deliver him a message late at night.

Guo Lin died suddenly, and the eldest princess's guards specially sent him letters. Each one of them impacted Jiang Wen's already very fragile nerves after staying up all night.

Even the owner of Fulong Trading Company was shocked. He didn't know how Jiang Wen got into the business, and kept asking him politely how much he had hidden from him.

Jiang Wen rubbed his twitching temples, feeling flustered. He really didn’t know anything!
