To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

The two sisters hesitated for a moment, but still obediently sat down.

But he only sat on half of the stool, his posture respectful and wary.

"Since you've decided to follow me!"

"From this moment on, you are no longer Feng Jing's spies, nor are you playthings to be manipulated."

Zhang Fan's gaze swept over them.

"You are my people, Zhang Fan's people."

Now, tell me your names.

The older sister took a deep breath and looked up.

Looking firmly at Zhang Fan, he said, word by word:

"Young master, my name is Luo Ying, and this is my younger sister, Luo Li."

"Luo Ying, Luo Li..."

Zhang Fan nodded. "Good name."

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table, and got to the point:

"Now, I need to know everything about Feng Jing!"

"His weakness, his greatest secret!"

"His primary source of income, and anything that you find unusual."

Upon hearing this question...

Luo Ying and Luo Li exchanged a glance, both showing confusion and fear on their faces.

finally.

It was her older sister, Luo Ying, who mustered her courage and whispered:

"Reporting to Young Master, this is Feng Jing's largest and most mysterious source of income!"

"From the 'Good Children's Hall' in the city."

"Every month, a large sum of money from Shantongtang would be secretly sent to Feng Jing's residence."

"Good Children's Hall?"

Zhang Fan frowned. "What place is that?"

"It's...it's a place set up by the government specifically to take in homeless orphans or children abandoned by their parents."

Luo Li added in a low voice.

"Adopting children?"

Zhang Fan astutely grasped this key word and pressed further:

"So where did all these children end up?"

"We don't know either..."

Luo Ying shook her head, her face filled with uncertainty.

"They must have been adopted by some childless families..."

"adoption?"

Zhang Fan chuckled, a cold sneer flashing in his eyes.

"The Qin Dynasty today is plagued by years of war and heavy corvée labor!"

"The common people themselves are struggling to feed themselves, so where would they find spare money or the capacity for kindness!"

"To adopt a child who is not related to you by blood?"

Upon hearing this, the two sisters were instantly speechless.

Yes, that makes no sense at all!

Luo Ying's face grew paler and paler.

She seemed to have thought of something, and added in a trembling voice:

"And...and Feng Jing himself!"

"Every month, we also 'adopt' a group of children from the charity, saying that we will train them to be servants."

"But...but we were never at the prefectural governor's mansion!"

"Or perhaps he saw those children in any of his properties..."

They...it's like they vanished into thin air!

This thought sent chills down the spines of the two sisters!

Good Children's Hall...children...missing...

Three clues quickly connected in Zhang Fan's mind, and a terrible, bloody truth was about to be revealed!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart.

Now is not the time to alert the enemy.

"You should all know very well that Feng Jing is inherently suspicious!"

Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, then continued.

"If you don't return for even a day, he'll definitely become suspicious!"

"Tomorrow, you need to go back and report to him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ying and Luo Li's faces turned deathly pale.

go back?

Isn't that just walking into a trap?

Luo Ying hurriedly said:

"Young Master! If we go back, Feng Jing will definitely see through our deception!"

"He...he's cruel, we..."

"rest assured."

Zhang Fan interrupted her.

"Since I'm letting you go back, I've naturally already come up with a foolproof plan for you."

Zhang Fan explained:

"Didn't Feng Jing want to know what I did to you last night?"

"Go back and tell him that I'm captivated by your beauty!"

"I'll torment you until you're half-dead, that'll be enough!"

"To make the scene more realistic..."

Zhang Fan pointed to himself and laughed:

"When I went to see him this morning, he had already performed it once!"

"You just need to reenact this play from your own perspective."

Luo Ying was incredibly clever and instantly understood Zhang Fan's intention.

This was a scheme to turn the tables and completely dispel Feng Jing's suspicions, making him believe that Zhang Fan was just a good-for-nothing indulging in wine and women!

"Alright, you should all go back to your rooms and rest to recharge."

You will depart first thing tomorrow morning!

Zhang Fan stood up and gestured for them to leave.

"Remember, from now on, it's time to test your acting skills."

……

After the two sisters left.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Fan turned around and walked towards Fu Su and Mo Feng's room.

The night was deep.

But the candles were still lit in the room, and the two of them were clearly not asleep.

"teacher!"

Upon seeing Zhang Fan enter, the two immediately stood up and bowed.

"sit."

Zhang Fan waved his hand and got straight to the point:

"How's it going? Have you found out about the woman from earlier in the day?"

Fusu's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

He nodded, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger:

"I've found out, teacher."

"That woman's child has been missing for five whole days!"

"She came to the government office to report the case every day, but the officials always drove her away on the grounds of 'making trouble'!"

"and……"

Fusu paused, then gritted his teeth and said:

"I've inquired with the servants in the manor privately!"

"In recent years, there have been quite a few children like this who have disappeared without a trace in Shangdang County!"

"Although the government opened investigations, they never solved a single case!"

Upon hearing this news, a look of understanding flashed in Zhang Fan's eyes.

Sure enough!

He looked at Fusu and Mofeng and dropped a bombshell:

"I've already asked those two sisters."

"What?!"

Fu Su and Mo Feng were both startled.

"They...they've all confessed."

A smile appeared on Zhang Fan's lips:

"And from now on, they are mine."

Upon hearing this...

Fu Su and Mo Feng were so shocked that they froze on the spot!

"T-Teacher...what...what did you say?"

Fusu's lips were trembling; he could hardly believe his ears.

"Those spies...you...turned them to their side?!"

Ink style is even more so.

"Immortal... Immortal Master... This... it's only been less than a day!"

"You...you managed to...bring over the spy that Feng Jing painstakingly trained?"

This is absolutely amazing!

however.

After the initial shock, a deep worry appeared on Fusu's face.

"Teacher! Isn't this... a bit too risky?"

"They are Feng Jing's people after all. Could they be feigning surrender?"

"What if they betray our plan to Feng Jing? Wouldn't we be...?"

"rest assured."

Zhang Fan interrupted him, a confident smile on his face.

He walked to the window, looked at the pitch-black night outside, and spoke calmly.

"They wouldn't dare, and they wouldn't."

"Because I have my own ways of making them treat me..."

"Absolute loyalty."
