Wei Ci tried hard to keep the expression on his face, but the idle spectators could read something else from his expression.
Toudu Feiqiu: "Zixiao's feelings right now are probably indescribable. He's smiling on the outside and maintaining his gentle appearance, but he's probably cursing inside." There was a saying that went, "Even if the person you chose is mentally retarded, you still have to kneel down and assist him."
Hengkang Guaziren: "The streamer's operation is so sexy. Beauty Ci really loves the streamer by not punching her to death."
Guatian Li: "Since all of you are pitying Beauty Ci, then I will pity the unlucky force that sent out the assassins." They were ambitious and wanted to take the host's life, but they never expected that the host's mind was only thinking about food. At the very least, he should respect the antagonist. He was quite serious about his work.
Warrior Rose: "Haha, maybe the poor villain is waiting for the good news that the host is seriously injured or dead?"
The salted fish rejoiced in her misfortune. They knew Jiang Pengji's combat ability best.
A hundred or so kamikaze warriors could only make up one PUBG match. Did they really think they could kill her with such a small scale?
What a joke!
Even if Jiang Pengji was thrown in front of ninety-nine Cheats, they would still be able to win the game unscathed, let alone such a weak game.
Therefore …
The salted fishes giggled and copied a few bullet screen comments.
Ruyue Yunhui: Host, don't be a coward! You're the head of a family and an old woman. What's the point of being afraid of your wife?
Xingyuan Miaomiao: "Host, stay where you are and don't move. I will buy you the sharpest durian, the most uncomfortable keyboard, and the longest washboard … I guarantee that you will kneel comfortably and sincerely. Maybe Ci Meiren will allow you to climb onto the bed because you are serious."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Were these salted fishes fans or haters of her?
Or was it that the deeper the fan went, the darker it became?
Even though Salted Fish cheered her on and encouraged her, Jiang Pengji was still a little "cowardly" when faced with the angry Wei Ci.
When it came to matters of principle, she was naturally the one who had the final say. Wei Ci would also not argue with her on such matters, but when it came to trivial matters or logistics, Wei Ci was usually the one who had the final say. Jiang Pengji rarely argued with Wei Ci because of such things.
Wei Ci's character also determined that he would not easily get angry.
However, the more good-tempered a person was, the more oppressive their aura would be when they were angry.
Jiang Pengji was at fault in the first place, so she was terrified. Not only that, she even tried to blink her eyes and act cute to get away with it.
"I really planned to talk about this after dinner …"
Jiang Pengji's voice became softer and softer as she spoke. She looked as if she had been wronged.
Feng Zhen sighed. He couldn't bear to see Wei Ci being too "forceful" and causing his relationship with his lord to become strained, so he spoke up to interrupt.
"Has the lord finished eating?"
Jiang Pengji shook her head and said, "No, I'm only 30% full."
When everyone heard the words' only thirty percent full ', they subconsciously felt a little moved. Their lord was still hungry.
However, when he thought about his lord's appetite, even if this "thirty percent full" was a few bowls of rice …
Yang Tao muttered in a low voice, "Being controlled like this, not even having enough to eat, this lord is really aggrieved."
Yan Lin rolled his eyes at Yang Tao and sneered.
"At least he ate more than half a bucket of rice. Don't talk about eating dinner, you've been feeding the worm blood for the whole night."
Yang Tao was speechless.
He always felt that after he became the lord, the frequency of his companions criticizing him had increased. It wasn't like this in the past.
Even though Jiang Pengji wasn't full, they wouldn't let her go back to eat before coming back to settle the matter of the ambush.
Ordinary gentry families couldn't have mobilized such a large number of men of sacrifice. If Jiang Pengji didn't handle it well, it would intimidate the thieves and evildoers. In the future, all kinds of monsters would dare to mess with the lord. In order to make an example out of others, the assassination had to be cleansed with blood!
Yang Si didn't think it was messy enough. He laughed and said, "It's just a bunch of unruly people. Even after mobilizing more than a hundred men of sacrifice, they couldn't hurt the lord at all. The assassination has become a joke. Why should the lord care about them? In comparison, the lord's meal is more important. Why don't you go to the back hall and have your meal first? We'll wait for you here. We'll discuss matters after the lord finishes eating. "
Jiang Pengji's mouth twitched. She wanted to kick Yang Si.
Did this guy want to see the world in chaos?
Yang Si's every word sounded like flattery, but in fact, he was adding fuel to the fire and ridiculing her. How could Jiang Pengji dare to eat?
She said seriously, "No need. Business is more important."
Yang Si smiled meaningfully. Wei Ci's expression softened slightly.
Feng Zhen asked, "Does the lord have live assassins?"
"I caught two alive and threw them to the subordinates to deal with. I reckon we'll have good news soon."
Although the captured men of sacrifice would commit suicide to keep it a secret, with Jiang Pengji around, how could she let them succeed so easily?
The two survivors were caught before they could commit suicide.
Sometimes, living a life worse than death was more terrifying than death. Even if these men of sacrifice were well-trained, they would still spit out the truth under torture.
Coincidentally, as soon as Jiang Pengji finished speaking, someone came to report that the two survivors had confessed.
Jiang Pengji asked, "Confessed? Who instructed them to ambush me? "
The person replied, "The Nan family of Fen Prefecture, Nansheng."
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and asked uninterestedly, "The Nan family? Fen Prefecture? I dug up their graves. Why are you making things difficult for me? "
Wei Ci and the others stared with their eyes wide open. How thick-skinned was their lord to ask such a question?
Not only did you dig up their graves, but you also confiscated half of their savings. It would be strange if the Nan family didn't fight to the death!
However, they couldn't say this out loud. After all, the lord still had to save face.
Compared to Feng Zhen and the others' brainless protection, Yang Tao and the others reacted more normally. They didn't dare to say it out loud, but they were still muttering in their hearts.
Why?
Because the order was given by Jiang Pengji, but part of the specific operation was done by Yang Tao's old subordinates, especially the confiscation of the family's assets.
Although Yang Tao and the others had a good time and took the opportunity to take revenge for the betrayal of the Nansheng aristocrats, they had also completely offended them.
If not, Yan Lin and the others wouldn't have called Jiang Pengji by her name in private.
Yang Tao had offended the Nansheng aristocrats, and Dongqing had no foundation. The slightest possibility of rebellion was nipped in the bud.
In the future, no matter how Jiang Pengji developed, Yang Tao could only rely on her. He couldn't have the heart to rebel.
The Nan family of Fen Prefecture belonged to the aristocrats in Nansheng. They used legal and illegal means to enclose thousands of acres of fertile land. When starving people were everywhere in the outside world, their granary was so rich that it could fatten up countless rats. They had countless tenants under their name. Their savings couldn't even be compared to the former national treasury.
Jiang Pengji gave them a knife. The fat she cut off was richer than that of the Tao family, who ran the illicit salt business.
They were rich. If Jiang Pengji didn't take advantage of them, who would she take advantage of?
They jumped back and forth between her and the other feudal lords. She just took the opportunity to confiscate half of their family's assets and dig up a few graves. That was enough.
Digging up graves was indeed immoral. Unfortunately, she was a penniless bandit. She did unusual things at unusual times.
