The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 166 Counterattack

Jian Yue suddenly thought of a question: Is the expenditure of the Mansion Lord's Mansion paid with the dowry money of the original owner's mother?

Whether it was what she saw now or the Yan Xinning in the original owner's memory, her food, clothing and daily necessities were all very fine and luxurious.

Xie Chujiao was the mistress of the house, not to mention that even her own children were raised with gold, silver and jewelry.

Yan Xiuyuan had no family background, and was completely penniless. Since he became the lord of the mansion, his monthly salary was only 180 taels. Even if he had some gray income, it was still not enough to support the extravagant consumption of Xie Chujiao and others.

Could it be that her father, seeing such a huge fortune every day, would not be tempted at all?

Jian Yue has already determined the reason why Xie Chujiao hates her.

If she had not appeared, the original owner's mother's dowry would have fallen into Xie Chujiao's hands sooner or later.

Back then, Jian Dacheng and his wife wanted to get rich and powerful, and they revealed that the mansion master's daughter was in their hands. Xie Chujiao took advantage of the situation and brought back a fake one just to make it easier to control them. Both sides had the handle in their hands. Xie Chujiao could bring wealth to the Jian family, and Yan Xinning would not dare to ask for the dowry of the original owner's mother.

They had a very good plan, but Jian Yue suddenly showed up halfway through.

Yun Zhonghe looked through the account book carefully: "Except for the teahouse, the other two shops have good profits. Now the shopkeepers and shop assistants have been arrested, what are you going to do?"

Jian Yue: "I would like to trouble you, Master, to buy a new group of people, or even hire them, and replace the original ones. I will then add some new things to the shop and reopen it."

Yun Zhonghe nodded: "Okay."

At dusk, Fu Wu and Ji Yunzhong entered Yue's residence one after another.

Fu Wu looked at Jian Yue, then at Ji Yunzhong, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He is now Jian Yue's man, so naturally he regards Jian Yue as his priority. This is what his former master told him.

Jian Yue said: "The Fifth Prince is not an outsider. Tell us what information you have found out!"

Ji Yunzhong's mouth corners slightly raised.

Fu Wu: "Miss, Wen Jinhong privately bought a small house and raised several girls aged twelve or thirteen. He goes there almost every night."

"Got it, go down and rest first!"

Jian Yue immediately stood up and went to the kitchen to order more dishes. The Fifth Prince came at mealtime, so he would definitely stay for dinner.

As the weather was getting colder, Jian Yue asked the owner of the iron shop to make a few hotpots for her, and they ate hotpot every few days.

Seeing that there was still time to prepare, she asked the cook to prepare the meat and vegetables, and she fried the hot pot base herself.

Ji Yunzhong likes to come here for meals because Jian Yue has many dishes he has never eaten. Tonight's hot pot once again whetted his taste buds.

After eating and drinking, Ji Yunzhong left.

Jian Yue waited for a while before she and Fu Yun changed into night clothes. Fu Wu drove the carriage to Wen Jinhong's small courtyard.

The small courtyard purchased by Wen Jinhong is not far from the Wen family's villa.

The carriage traveled for half an hour and stopped in a secluded alley. Fu Wu looked at the carriage while Jian Yue and Fu Yun quietly moved towards the small courtyard.

Jian Yue's Qinggong has made some progress. Although she has not yet reached the level of floating on water, she can already land silently and be as light as a cat.

As the two approached the small courtyard, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. They were startled and just as they were about to attack, a deep voice rang out: "It's me."

"Five...why are you here?" Jian Yue exclaimed in surprise.

Ji Yunzhong asked cunningly: "Why did you come here?"

Jian Yue:……

Can she say she was here to poison?

Ji Yunzhong knew that this was not the place for jokes, so he said quickly: "I know you are here to take revenge on Wen Jinhong. What do you want to do? I can help you."

Jian Yue thought for a moment and took out a packet of medicine powder: "Put this packet of medicine in Wen Jinhong's water or wine glass."

Ji Yunzhong paused for a moment: "Okay. You don't have to get close, just wait here, I'll be back soon."

Ji Yunzhong turned and left.

Fu Yun was a little worried: "Girl?"

Asking the Fifth Prince to poison someone is a bit, a bit... treasonous.

Jian Yue curved her lips and smiled.

Since she was caught by the Fifth Prince, the best way was to drag him down with her. She didn't expect Ji Yunzhong to really go. Since he was willing to go, she didn't have any psychological burden.

There were two guards in the small courtyard. Ji Yunzhong waved his hand, and two men in black jumped in, knocking the two men unconscious with one move each.

Ji Yunzhong gave the medicine bag to one of them. The man in black rushed into the kitchen, knocked the cook unconscious, scooped half a bowl of water from the water tank, and poured the medicine powder into it.

Another man in black rushed into the main room. There were four or five young girls in cool clothes. Some of them leaned on Wen Jinhong's arms to serve him wine, some danced for him, and some picked up food for him.

Wen Jinhong's clothes were loose, his breasts were exposed, and he was hugged by women on both sides, looking very happy.

"Ah!" a little girl screamed.

A man in black had already restrained Wen Jinhong. Before he could even swallow the food in his mouth, he was so frightened that he almost choked to death.

"You, who are you?"

Several little girls looked at the intruder in horror and trembled with fear.

Another man in black roughly pinched Wen Jinhong's chin and poured the water in the bowl into his mouth.

Wen Jinhong struggled desperately and didn't want to drink it, but the man in black still forced him to drink it.

The two men in black left him behind and walked away.

Wen Jinhong was furious. While scratching his throat, he shouted: "Come here, catch the assassin!"

He shouted several times, but no one responded. He panicked, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

"It's done so quickly?" Jian Yue was surprised. Ji Yunzhong's efficiency was too high.

"Well! Let's get out of here first."

When they got on Jian Yue's carriage, Jian Yue couldn't help but be curious: "How did you poison him? Wasn't there any guard in his yard?"

Ji Yunzhong: "There are two of them. They were subdued in one move. Wen Jinhong has no martial arts skills, so it's easy to deal with him. Just pour the drug into his mouth."

Jian Yue:……

I have to say that this method is simple and crude, saving time and effort.

The two of them had never been alone in such a narrow space before, and once they became quiet, Jian Yue felt a little uncomfortable.

So, he made small talk: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I will present you a thank you gift another day."

"No need for a thank you gift. I want a medicine bag for self-defense. Can you help me make one?"

Jian Yue hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Although she didn't understand why he wanted the medicine bag, but since the Fifth Prince had asked for it and she knew how to do it, she wouldn't offend him.

Ji Yunzhong's mouth was slightly curved, and there was a smile in his eyes. He was obviously in a good mood.

The next morning, Fu Wu went to the Wen family's villa to inquire about the news.

As soon as Jian Yue sat down at the dinner table, Fu Wu hurried over to report: "Miss, many doctors are coming in and out of the Wen family's courtyard. Wen Jinhong has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed. According to the doctor who treated him, Wen Jinhong has a crooked mouth, squinting eyes, stiff limbs, and can't speak."

He deserves it...
