Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2608: Chapter 2609: Minesweeping War (25 Updates)

Sure enough, that system relies on earning points by making money. Bai Ruozhu generously said, ”Tangfen Restaurant will give you a twenty percent share!”

Fo Lanying cheerfully replied, ”Yay, then I don’t have to do anything and still make money!”

Then she shamelessly added, ”Could you give me a bit more?”

Bai Ruozhu glared at her and grumpily said, ”No! I agreed to give the Astrologer Family twenty percent, you twenty percent, and Gong Feng at least thirty percent. Doesn’t the rest need to go to employee benefits or something?”

”Hehe, I was just asking casually. I’m not a greedy person.” Fo Lanying grinned so widely that her mouth couldn’t close.

”Let go of her!” Jiang Yichun’s cold voice sounded, looking unhappy at Fo Lanying hugging his wife, his eyes like daggers that could stab Fo Lanying to death.

Fo Lanying instinctively shivered, quickly let go, and stood properly, patting her chest and saying, ”Oh my, scared me to death, what’s wrong with women hugging women?”

Jiang Yichun gave her a stern look, ”No random hugging allowed.”

Fo Lanying stuck out her tongue and hid behind Yuan Licheng. Yuan Licheng chuckled and pulled her over, hinting she should not provoke Jiang Yichun.

Everyone was amused by Fo Lanying’s behavior, but after laughing, they thought about the earlier incident and felt a bit terrified. If Bai Ruozhu hadn’t discovered someone had planted explosive traps outside, they would have been blown to pieces in their sleep tonight, saying goodbye to this world.

Back in the room, Bai Ruozhu felt sentimental, ”Today was really dangerous, I wonder where I’d go if I died again.”

Jiang Yichun reached out, pressing his finger on her lips, and said somewhat reproachfully, ”Don’t talk about dying, I won’t let you die.”

Bai Ruozhu gave him a sharp look, ”Who was sleeping like a dead pig earlier, and had to be woken by me?”

He chuckled awkwardly, ”Isn’t it all because you exhausted me?”

Bai Ruozhu blushed, ”Who exhausted who? It’s obviously you always making trouble, I already said ’no more’.”

Jiang Yichun hugged her tightly, ”Women are always saying the opposite of what they mean. ’No’ means ’yes’. Next time, just say ’yes’, and I’ll understand for sure.”

”No way, it’s all a trick, I won’t fall for it.” She said, covering her face. Boo hoo, no matter what she said, the result was the same anyway.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Jiang Yichun didn’t bother her anymore, and the two fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Early the next morning, Sa Tian hurried over, frantically knocking on the door outside.

”Lord Jiang, Lord Bai, something big has happened!”

Jianqi opened the door with a stern face, and Sa Tian hurriedly sought out Bai Ruozhu and the others but was blocked by Jianqi.

”The masters haven’t gotten up yet.”

”Something big has happened, She Zongyi has been killed, his body separated, right in Kyoto City!” Sa Tian shouted.

”Oh.” Jianqi replied dully, ”Good riddance, glad to hear it.”

Sa Tian stared at his face, ”Why aren’t you surprised or asking who did it? Unless...”

He suddenly widened his eyes but lowered his voice significantly, ”Was it you guys?”

Before Jianqi could answer, Sa Tian anxiously paced in circles in the yard. ”What to do, this is a big deal. If people find out, you’re in trouble. After all, he was the teacher of the second prince.”

”Who said it was us?” Bai Ruozhu emerged from the room and said.

Sa Tian hurried forward, ”Was it really not you?”

”No.” Bai Ruozhu lied through her teeth.

Sa Tian let out a sigh of relief, ”That’s good, that’s good. By the way, what’s with all the holes outside?”

”What holes? I didn’t notice any.” Bai Ruozhu continued lying.

”Right outside the posthouse, go take a look quickly. Isn’t someone plotting against you?” Sa Tian said worriedly.

Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to pretend to look outside and then exclaimed loudly, ”Oh crap, who did this? So wicked, the posthouse isn’t ours, why make it look so bad? How can we explain this to the Emperor?”

Sa Tian quickly reassured, ”It’s okay, it’s okay, the Emperor won’t blame you, better find out who did it first.”

Bai Ruozhu yawned, ”We’ll talk later, I didn’t rest well, I’m going back to sleep. Play on your own.”

Watching Bai Ruozhu’s back, Sa Tian felt something was off. Why didn’t she sleep well?

Could it be she went out killing last night?

He was startled by his own thoughts but figured, so what if it was them? She Zongyi deserved death, he was just worried Bai Ruozhu and the others would get in trouble.

That day, the murder of She Zongyi caused quite a stir in the city, and eventually, the Government Office investigated the posthouse.

No choice, as the explosive cord was found near the corpse, leading all the way to outside the posthouse.

It’s not that Bai Ruozhu and the others weren’t careful enough to deal with it—the ground had been dug, lines placed, and even if filled, new soil is distinguishable from old. So instead of running circles exhausting themselves and raising more suspicion, it was better to leave it as it was.

Thus the officers came to question Bai Ruozhu and the others, and even the Emperor sent Ootani to ask. Bai Ruozhu and the others maintained a unified front: We don’t know, we slept soundly and heard nothing.

Later, someone deduced there had been explosives buried in those pits, and the cords were connected to the scene where She Zongyi was killed.

So the chief officer brought officers to visit personally.

”Envoy Jiang, why were explosives buried around the posthouse?” the chief officer asked.

Jiang Yichun glanced at him and said, ”How would I know? Would I bury explosives where I’m staying and blow myself up? Do I look like an idiot?”

The chief officer was somewhat speechless by the retort, thought for a moment, and asked again, ”Was it She Zongyi’s people who buried the explosives, and you found out, so you went and killed them?”

Jiang Yichun said indifferently, ”How would we discover it in the middle of the night? If we had, we would have directly tied them up with the explosives at the city gate for everyone to admire.”

”Then how do you explain the connection between the explosive line to She Zongyi’s corpse and the posthouse?” the chief officer asked, troubled.

Jiang Yichun impatiently said, ”Why should I explain? I’d rather ask you, we come as envoys to your country, and someone buries explosives around, intending to blow us up? Should your country investigate thoroughly and explain this?”

The chief officer hastily retreated, ”We’re still investigating, still investigating.”

At this moment, Bai Ruozhu stepped out and sarcastically said, ”Wasn’t it She Zongyi committing evildoings, intending to blow us up, but divine intervention punished him directly? Speaking of, where did those explosives go? Those things are dangerous, with so many pits. If there’s one explosive per pit, how many would there be? You better investigate thoroughly, in case someone takes them to the Imperial Palace.”

Bai Ruozhu even shivered deliberately, scaring the chief officer’s face a few shades whiter, and he hurriedly excused himself.

That day, the Imperial Palace went into a massive search. The Emperor ordered not to overlook any spot, preventing anyone from hiding explosives, turning the palace into a mine-clearing battlefield with everyone becoming mine-clearing soldiers...
