C61 (1/2)

After two consecutive days, Song Shujin left early and returned late, busily investigating the issue of private taxes. His people had already snuck into the midst of the citizens, stealthily infiltrating Tan Yue City, gathering information related to private taxes from all over the place, and even sneaking into the official's residence to investigate at night.

Yun Qianliang pretended not to know, and continued to buy herbs in the Tan Yue City, and delivered them to the God Doctor's clinic, allowing the citizens to catch medicine for free. But afterhee left that day, she did not go to the clinic again, and just played around with his people, like he did two days ago, watching and listening to books. Other than doing nothing, she continued to ask about the Tan Yue City in front of everyone.

On the third day, Gu Shisan, who had sensed Yun Qianliang's intentions, could no longer hold himself back.

”Why does the young miss need to help the Jin Wang protect them?”

Yun Qianliang sat at a noodle stall by the side of the road and looked at the place where the noise was coming from.

Unable to get an answer, Gu Shisan was a little anxious.

Gu Xiangfu and Jin Wang were two different factions within the imperial court, and the enmity between the two parties was not small.

Yun Qianliang's recent actions were obviously done to mislead others, making the officials of the Tan Yue City think that she was just a pretence. The people who were sent to investigate the private tax were all hiding in her guards, and the number of people who were secretly watching them these two days was too many.

”Madam!” Gu Shisan shouted anxiously.

”Huh?” Yun Qianliang came back to reality and recalled her memories again after a while. She answered slowly with half a beat, ”I didn't help him.”

”For the past few days, you have been asking around the city about the situation of the Tan Yue City. You clearly wanted them to misunderstand that the Emperor has sent people to hide our guards.” Gu Shisan exposed her plan and reminded her: ”Gu Xiangfu and Jin Wang will not be the same from the beginning, you must think twice before acting.”

Yun Qianliang withdrew her interested gaze from the commotion, and turned to look at the person who had warned her, the unwillingness to accept and the doubt in his eyes were undisguised, as though he wanted to let her see it.

”Customer, here's your noodles.” Boss Mian brought over a bowl of steaming hot noodles and placed it in front of Yun Qianliang.

Yun Qianliang took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from her chopsticks, picked up the bowl and walked forward to stand.

There was a skinny old man outside the noodle stall. He had a stooped body and was holding a thin boy in his arms. Both of them were wearing tattered clothes but the old man tightly wrapped the kid up.

It was still cold, but the two of them were still trembling.

”Old man, feed the child.” Yun Qianliang squatted and held the face in front of the old man with both hands.

The old man shivered in fear. His hands trembled as he received the bowl of hot soup.: ”Thank you.”

”Thank you elder sister.” The little boy thanked him obediently. His voice was weak, as if he was sick.

”The Calm Heart Medical Store in the east of the city of the old man is able to receive medicine for free. Your grandson seems to be sick, take him to see it.” Seeing the old man nod his head, Yun Qianliang picked up the noodles and fed it to the little grandson. Her hands were shaking as she untied the warm cape on her body and placed it on the child's body.

”Young lady, you are a good person, a good person.” The old man cried.

Yun Qianliang stood up and walked back to the noodle stall. When the cold wind blew against her body, it only dispersed a corner of the haze in her heart.

Chun Hua stood up, wanting to give the cape to Yun Qianliang.

”No need.” Yun Qianliang stopped them, her eyes staring at the noise not far away, ”Thirteen, you have a opinion towards me, don't you? I had some disputes with Jin Wang, so you decided to be preconceived, and when you found out that my actions were slightly related to what Jin Wang was doing, you thought that I had a personal relationship and wanted to help him. ”

Gu Shisan was embarrassed that he was seen through, but he did not deny it.

”My reason for coming here is very obvious. If I can't find anything that can make the Jin Wang feel good, then I shall design a show to trap him. Before I came here, I didn't think about interfering with the private tax matter, and I even intentionally tried to avoid it.” Yun Qianliang remained calm on the surface, he was unable to understand her emotions. He was too calm, as if his heart was not at this place, ”What I do doesn't matter, but if what I do is not based on the lives of the people, how can I be at peace in this world?”

Yun Qianliang walked towards where the noise came from, where there were a lot of civilians.

Song Shujin was surrounded in the middle, the corners of his lips tightly pursed as he faintly suppressed his anger. His hawk-like eyes were filled with suppressed rage, as if a storm was about to arrive.

A man laid on the ground, wailing and moaning, pestering Song Shujin to the point where he didn't want to let go.

”He didn't hurt her.” Yun Qianliang stepped over the commoners and stood at the side with the few people around him.

He came at them head-on, stabbing himself with a knife, framing them. It was pure porcelain.

Yun Qianliang sat at a noodle stall and watched the entire process.

She strolled along the street, and noticed that the people around her were conversing their gazes, and the way they looked at her was a little strange, so she found a noodle stall and sat down, and ate a bowl of hot broth noodles with them. She wanted to waste time with them, and wanted to see what tricks these people had, but in the end she saw Song Shujin walking over from afar.

At that time, she understood that this group of people were not here for her. Song Shujin had attracted the attention of the officials of the Tan Yue City.
