Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

He paused, curled his lip, waved his hand confidently, and said:

"Why did you bring them out?! Those are all strong men. Sending them over there would be worth a lot of money, and they could do so much work. Compared to the people over there, one of them could definitely do the work of two people!"

We definitely have to send this kind of person over. If you let them go, what if they trace the clues back to us?

"Rather than let things drag on, it's better to just crush them!"

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to prevent future troubles. As long as no one is breathing and no one leaks information, their affairs here cannot be discovered by others!

Upon hearing this, the man nodded.

"Hehehe, Second Brother is so thoughtful. Yes, yes, these people are very strong. Sending them over to work will make them as good as two people! It's been very cold lately, and they need the goods urgently. Sending these people over there will allow them to dig up a lot of goods and earn a lot of money. The higher-ups will definitely praise us."

"When the time comes, my eldest brother might be in a good mood and give us extra money. It's almost New Year's, so we can have a prosperous year!"

After he said that, the others echoed his sentiments:

"Yes, yes, it's almost Chinese New Year! We thought we had no hope this year, but so many people came and boosted our annual sales!"

"After this job, we'll definitely make a lot of money. Our eldest and second brothers have always been good to us; they'll surely give us a good share for the New Year! Right, Second Brother?"

"Second Brother, is it true?! After this job, will we really get a bigger share of the silver?"

The group chatted amongst themselves, making a ruckus, and all eyes were on the innkeeper.

Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao lay quietly on the cart, giving the innkeeper a discreet glance.

The innkeeper must be the "second brother" these people are talking about. I wonder what kind of shady business these people are involved in.

Since the innkeeper is their second brother, there must be an older brother behind the scenes.

She was determined to find out what these people were up to.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu didn't move, silently leaning against Xie Moyao. Xie Moyao knew what she was thinking, so he lay down beside her as well, without saying a word.

Before long, everyone in the inn was thrown onto several carts, and a crowd gathered around them.

Ji Yunshu observed for a while and found that when they first entered the inn, there were several waiters and the innkeeper. The rest of the people were actually the same people who had been eating and drinking in the inn's lobby earlier!

Seeing this, Ji Yunshu was somewhat alarmed.

Is this store a shady business?

They deliberately left some people in the lobby to create a lively atmosphere, making everyone lower their guard. Then, at night, they used sleeping gas to knock everyone unconscious, captured them all at once, and then sent them away one by one!

Tut tut...

Ji Yunshu pursed her lips. The innkeeper was indeed clever, with a respectable appearance and a smiling face. He was also very kind to everyone. Who would have thought that he had such a black heart?

Even she was almost fooled before, but luckily she noticed something was wrong and was more careful when she returned to her room.

If she goes back to her room early and goes to bed early, she'll definitely be one of those drugged tonight.

After taking this drug, the person feels weak all over and somewhat uncomfortable.

Ji Yunshu looked at the Wangfu people on another cart, all of them lying unconscious on the cart.

He pursed his lips, unsure of how to feed some of the spiritual spring water to the group.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give up.

She fed them now, and they woke up, which might attract their attention.

The people from the Left and Right Princes' Mansions are not in any immediate danger, so we let them lie down first.

She and Xie Moyao remained silent, and the others did not make a sound either, lying on the cart.

They clearly saw that the eldest prince and the second prince were grabbed by the arms and legs by several waiters and thrown directly onto a cart, and then several people were thrown on top of them.

Ji Yunshu curled her lips. The eldest and second princes were really unlucky. In this desolate wilderness, no one recognized them. They probably already regarded them as ordinary people.

I don’t know if I’ll survive. If I do, will they be scared to death if they find out that these two are the eldest prince and the second prince?

Thinking this, he saw the innkeeper, who was standing not far away, look around and wave his hand at everyone:

"Alright, everyone's here. Turn off the lights in the inn, tidy up a bit, and then we'll set off on the cart!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone knew that there would be another big deal tonight, bringing in a large sum of money. Everyone was extremely excited and said in unison.

Each person held a torch, set up their carts one by one, and slowly walked forward.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel. Ji Yunshu lay on the cart, which swayed back and forth, making her feel like she was being rocked from side to side.

She happened to be lying on the side and almost got thrown off several times. Luckily, Xie Moyao kept secretly pulling on her clothes, which prevented her from being thrown off.

The cart wobbled along, going from the front yard of the inn to the back. The snow was so deep that Ji Yunshu couldn't see the road at all. But the innkeeper and the waiters were clearly familiar with the terrain and pulled the cart forward without a care.

Instead of walking in front, they pushed the cart forward, and a path appeared where the cart passed.

It was a pity for the people on the cart, because it was the first cart to clear the way, and all the snow covered the people lying on it.

Fortunately, the first cart was carrying the guards of the First and Second Princes. If it had been carrying villagers and the people of the Prince's Mansion, Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao would not be sitting idly by and waiting for their deaths.

Before long, the cart was moving faster and faster, and the bumps were getting worse and worse.

Ji Yunshu was worried that the people from the Prince's Mansion and the villagers might fall off the carts if they weren't careful, so she focused most of her attention on the two carts in front of her.

She had just noticed that two people had fallen off the cart. The waiters, perhaps exhausted, had done nothing but a few hasty movements before slitting their throats without managing to get them back onto the cart.

Ji Yunshu had already made up her mind. If any villagers or people from the royal family fell off the cart, she wouldn't care how they reacted; she would send them into her spatial dimension immediately.

If she's too slow, and these people slit her throat, she'll be furious!

"Mo Yao, do you know what these people do?"

Xie Moyao shook his head: "I don't know, let's wait and see. I have a feeling they're in cahoots with the people from that house before, but we don't know exactly what they do."
