Chapter 137: The Profiteer of the Country

The official coughed, "Actually, it's not that it looks like it, it just feels like it."

Xie Jingyi's face became darker, and it's okay to think that the old emperor had committed so many romantic debts, and she still had a good face. She could reluctantly treat it as a compliment.

But what does it feel like?

Did the official family see from her face that she is as bad as the ancestor?

When the official saw Xie Jingyi's complicated little eyes, he also remembered the reputation of the late emperor and asked decisively, "Where are we hiding?"

Xie Jingyi stood up and said, "Come with me."

Although she looked calm, she had already stirred up storms inside.

So in her previous life, she was able to be the leader of a nanny. The official trusted her so much and always loved to act coquettishly in front of her. It was not because she was powerful, but because he felt fatherly love from her?

Xie Jingyi suddenly felt that it was too wise for her to spend a lot of money to buy this shop. She had the urge to climb into the coffin and bury herself on the spot.

She thought, and pushed open the door on the wall with some self-deprecating self-esteem.

"Go over there." The official family was stunned, and reached out his hand curiously, touched the door, and opened his eyes widened with excitement. He was very white, and when he was excited, the blue veins could be seen.

"This turned out to be a real door. It looked like it was painted. I didn't expect that it could be opened. How did it be opened? Where is the mechanism?"

Xie Jingyi pointed to the eyes of the painted door god.

The official stared at him more and more curiously, followed Xie Jingyi and walked over, "Is this the shop next door? Are you not the little lady from the Marquis of Yongping's Mansion? Why do you open a funeral shop here..."

Xie Jingyi was a little depressed by him, "Personal preference."

The official suddenly realized, "I thought that Chai Er was the only one in the world who liked this, but I didn't expect that there were people who were like him. But why did you draw a door on the wall? If you didn't draw anything, it wouldn't attract attention at all, and others wouldn't come."

Xie Jingyi pricked up her ears and listened to the movement outside, made a swearing gesture, pointing to the next room. Someone came in from the room they were staying.

The official's eyes darkened, "Woooooo..."

Xie Jingyi did not explain, lifted up a board, pushed the official's house and got off the floor.

"Don't worry, Wu Wuhu can't die, but two fists can't beat four hands. There are six of them, and they can always find one to find you. I threw firecrackers before, and based on the direction of the throw, I could tell where we were hiding."

The official family was stunned, "Do you know Wu Wuhu?"

Xie Jingyi nodded, "I met today. His uncle is the transshipment commander of Liangzhe Luguan."

The official clapped his hands gently as if he had remembered something, and received a warning look from Xie Jingyi.

The official family shrank his neck, "I remembered that Qingmiao Eighteen Posts, you are Xie San who wrote Qingmiao Eighteen Posts with Chai Er."

Xie Jingyi smiled, pricked her ears and heard the movement, and touched the wall of the cellar again. The door of the cellar opened again, "Let's go back. After they searched for the first one, it's time to search for the second one."

Seeing Xie Jingyi relaxing, the official family relaxed unknowingly.

"You are not curious. Why is I a businessman? There is such a strange shop with government agencies?"

The official nodded and said honestly, "I originally suspected that you were in the same group as them, but when I remembered that you were Xie San from Hangzhou, I would not doubt it. I heard Chai Er talk about you."

Xie Jingyi looked strange, "What did Chai Er say to me?"

The official touched his chin, "Chai Er said you are very smart, far better than a man."

Xie Jingyi's nose felt sour, "This whole street sells lanterns, coffins and firecrackers. Why do people come to me to buy it? So I opened two adjacent shops. The first one sells the whole street is the most expensive, and the second one sells the whole street is the cheapest."

"When I went to the cheaper ones, I felt that I had made a lot of money and bought them happily. I firmly believe that even if I die, I would be more noble than others. After I have been shopping around, I will still return to the first one. There is always nothing wrong with buying the most expensive ones."

The official pointed to the invisible door of the cellar and said with difficulty, "So the first and second ones actually sell the same? No wonder people say that there are no businessmen!"

Xie Jingyi shook her head, "It's the same, it's different. The first one sells face, and the second one sells affordable, and everyone gets the needs."

The official family thought about it and seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

Xie Jingyi blinked, "I earned more, and I paid more taxes to the treasury."

When the official heard this, he nodded suddenly, "Okay, very good."

Why did he make a new law? The treasury was really lost by his own father... As an emperor, he thinks money is really important!

"Then why do you have to make a door so complicated? Isn't it more convenient to go in and out directly?"

Xie Jingyi laughed, "If you don't expose some things, everyone will be happy. If you say them out loud, someone will inevitably get angry."

She said, pricking her ears and listening, "Chai Er is here, we can go up."

The official family was stunned, "How did you know that Chai Er is here?"

Xie Jingyi reached out and pushed open the cellar door, then turned around to pull the official house, "I can hear his footsteps."

As she said that, she saw Chai Youchen squatting at the entrance of the cellar, looking at her meaningfully, "What's the special thing about my footsteps?"

Xie Jingyi smiled but said nothing, "Are everyone arrested?"

Chai Youchen nodded, reached out and pulled up the official family, saw him first, and said, "It's good that the official family has nothing to do. There are six assassins, three of whom were killed by General Wu, and the remaining three were captured."

The official breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there anything wrong with Wuwuhu?"

"A little injury is not a problem." Wu Wuhu rushed in as he spoke, and his huge back blocked all the light at the door.

When he saw Xie Jingyi standing inside, he exclaimed, "It turned out to be Sister Xie San. I'm so scared. I'm still scolding someone who raised me and stole the official family while I was not paying attention. It turned out to be Sister Xie San! If the official family is injured, my father will have to chop my head!"

"Thanks to you, otherwise, I, the fifth brother, would have to be missing my arm, broken legs, and less head to stop until the reinforcements come! The official family, Wu Wuhu took the wrong path, which scared the official family. It was a death sentence!" Wu Wuhu said, and knelt down with a thud.

The official hurriedly walked over and helped Wu Wuhu up, "How can you blame you? If you want to blame, blame those assassins! I am safe today, thanks to you and Xie San."

Xie Jingyi smiled, but her eyes were staring at the six people at the door.

She first looked at the three corpses on the ground, then at the three people tied tightly, frowned, and shook her head at Chai Youchen.
