I unlocked the heroine's chance in the book exile

After all, if Zhou Mingyu had not been deceived, when he was investigating Xiao Min, he would at least think that this person was a person worthy of special attention.

Because unlike other dynasties, the surname of the royal family of Xiao State was Xiao.

Then Xiao Min and others are from the Xiao State. Isn't this very suspicious?

If you were an ordinary person, how would you dare to have the surname Xiao in Xiao State?

After all, not every monarch of every dynasty would be like their own and would not prohibit their people from having the same surname as the royal family.

Xiao Guo still attaches great importance to this aspect.

More importantly, he believed that Zhou Jinran would not notice someone for no reason.

Considering everything Zhou Jinran had said in the restaurant before, Shen Muyun wondered whether Zhou Jinran knew Xiao Min.

At this time, Zhou Jinran's eyes did not leave the booklet given by Zhou Mingyu, but she did not ignore Zhou Mingyu's questions either.

"Sister Mingyu, Xiao Min must have some problems, but you don't need to pay too much attention to him. Just do what you did before, and I will arrange someone to handle these things later."

"I see. Ranran, you guys just watch here. I'll go take care of other things."

"Okay, I'll call you if anything happens."

Although Zhou Mingyu didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Min, she was still convinced by Zhou Jinran's words.

So she would do whatever Zhou Jinran said.

After Zhou Mingyu left, Shen Muyun asked.

"Of course, could this Xiao Min be a member of the Xiao Kingdom's royal family?"

Although Shen Muyun was asking Zhou Jinran, he had actually already determined the answer.

"Whether it is true or not, we can only know after meeting the person, but as long as he did not lie about his name, he is most likely from Xiao Country."

"The Xiao Kingdom is just a small dynasty. We have never heard of anything happening to them. If anything, it's just that they are provoking the Southern Xia Dynasty more and more frequently."

Zhou Jinran handed the booklet in his hand to Shen Muyun and said.

"Look, these are what Sister Mingyu and her team investigated, but they are almost all narrated by those people themselves. However, from their narrations, we can see that every word they said seemed to be planned.

Shen Muyun took the booklet and took a look. Compared to Zhou Jinran, he naturally understood these things better. After all, he had seen similar words a lot when he was examining the people he had arrested in the military camp. "

"I'm afraid they came here with a plan, but what did they want to plan?"

After Shen Muyun asked the question, before Zhou Jinran could answer, he spoke again.

"Ran Ran, do you think they would like to come to Jishidiang to learn those skills, and then return to their dynasty to set up a workshop?"

"It is possible. After all, anything we have at Jishiditang is good stuff."

Zhou Jinran had confidence in saying this, because in addition to making soap as mentioned before, their Jishidiang workshop also made glass and even things like cosmetics.

The soap and glass were brought in by Li Sisi, and the rest were brought in by Zhou Jinran and others.

These things will never have trouble selling whether they are sold abroad or at home.

However, most of the time they are in charge of internal affairs, while all external affairs are controlled by the emperor.

But Zhou Jinran knew that what she said was not entirely right.

But she hasn't sorted out her thoughts yet, so it's not easy for her to tell Shen Muyun about Xiao Min.

At this time, after thinking it over again and again, Shen Muyun decided to ask the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"So are you curious about why Sister Mingyu and the others collectively ignored Xiao Min's last name, or are you wondering about something you ignored before?"

After hearing Shen Muyun's questions about why they had ignored the matters of Nanze City and Nanling City before, and why they had ignored the fact that Jiang Qingyao was behaving abnormally and might be in trouble, Zhou Jinran also asked her questions.

When Shen Muyun saw Zhou Jinran asking this, he spoke directly.

"Both. It happened before and now with Xiao Min. We could say we didn't notice it once or twice, but I found that it's not a question of whether we noticed it or not. It's just that we acted like there was something that didn't want us to know."

Zhou Jinran discovered that Shen Muyun was indeed very perceptive. After all, this was only the third time, and he was able to see this directly the third time. Doesn’t this prove that he has gradually become immune to the power of the plot?

Regarding Shen Muyun’s question, Zhou Jinran thought about it and said to him.

"I think you have also discovered that there is an invisible force around us. It is that force that makes you ignore these things. The reason why I am not affected by that force seems to be related to the dream my mother gave me at the beginning."

Anyway, Shen Muyun had witnessed all the miraculous things before, so it wasn't too abrupt for her to say this now.

Sure enough, Shen Muyun believed what Zhou Jinran said. After all, if she didn't say that, how could he explain everything that happened between them before? But when he listened to Zhou Jinran's words, he automatically replaced Zhou Jinran's dream with something else.

But he thought about his previous situation, looked at Zhou Jinran with some anticipation, and asked.

"Ran Ran, does my current state mean that I am no longer controlled by that power?"

Looking at Shen Muyun's expectant eyes, Zhou Jinran said mercilessly.

"No, if we want to completely get rid of this control, we need to resolve the matter of the Southern Xia Dynasty and Xiao Min's coming here."

After Zhou Jinran finished speaking, he felt that what he said seemed a bit cruel, so he said another sentence.

"But it's good that you're like this now, because when faced with this situation, you will realize that something is wrong."

Shen Muyun was not a person who did not know the importance of the matter. When he heard Zhou Jinran say this, he already knew that perhaps that force was even stronger than he had imagined.

At this moment, not only Shen Muyun, but even Zhou Jinran himself felt it was ridiculous.

After all, how could such strange things appear in such a good world?

If the sign-in system hadn't repeatedly emphasized that this was just an ordinary world, she would have suspected whether this was some kind of supernatural world.

But every time she said this, the sign-in system always said that she was too longing for that magical world and that was why she had such thoughts in her mind.

But in Zhou Jinran's opinion, if the power of the plot in this world was not so strong, she would not think too much about it.

In fact, according to common sense, the power of the plot should gradually disappear after Zhou Jinyan's death.

After all, now that world consciousness has grown, what is the use of the power of the plot?

Of course, these were her previous thoughts, but after knowing the subsequent plot, she knew what the power of the plot was still needed for.

Because the subsequent plot mainly focuses on Jiang Qingyao.

In this way, anyone who appears frequently or plays a big role in the plot centered on Jiang Qingyao will be affected by the plot.

For example, Xiao Min. When Zhou Jinran saw this name, she immediately understood who she had always been curious about, and who was the person who was secretly manipulating everything.

And this person is Xiao Min. Shen Muyun doesn’t know who he is in the Xiao royal family, but Zhou Jinran knows that he is the second prince of the Xiao royal family.

In the plot, there is very little description of him, and he has never been to Jishidiang. However, Jishidiang only exists in this life, so it is normal that he did not come.

But even if there was no Jishidiang in the plot, Xiao Min had never been to Nanze City. At that time, he seemed to be an aide to a prince of the Nanxia Dynasty.

As for why a good prince would become a staff member, the plot didn't explain it and Zhou Jinran didn't know either.

The only thing she knew was that the prince of Southern Xia mentioned it once, saying that strategist Xiao Min was the one who could turn the Southern Xia Dynasty around.

Although this Xiao Min's surname is different from Xiao Min, Zhou Jinran knows that the former queen of Xiao State was surnamed Xiao, and the second prince happened to be the son of the former queen.

But according to the plot, Queen Xiao seemed to have died early. After her death, the Second Prince was very unwelcome. Later, no one mentioned him after he died of illness.

According to the timeline, the time when the second prince of Xiao Kingdom died was exactly the time when the prince of the Southern Xia Dynasty received his staff.

That's why when Zhou Jinran saw Xiao Min's name, he knew that this person was the one behind the plot.

As for why he did not use his mother's surname this time but used his own name, the reason is very simple, it was influenced by the plot.

Because people who hear his name will automatically ignore everything about him.

However, regarding Xiao Min's matter, Zhou Jinran still needs to wait until he returns to Hujiao Village before asking about the specific details of the sign-in system.

At this time, she and Shen Muyun were thinking about what happened during this period of time in Jishidiang.

Based on the above content, Zhou Jinran also knew the general situation.

Generally speaking, the situation of Jishidiang is still good at this time. It seems that Xiao Min and others have not joined for long, so there are no other impacts.

But no matter what, Xiao Min is also an important person. Although she asked Zhou Mingyu not to alert the enemy and ask people to keep an eye on Xiao Min, it does not mean that she will leave Xiao Min alone.

After all, the reason why she didn't let Zhou Mingyu send anyone was because the people in Jishidiang had not yet grown to the point where they could successfully hide their purpose after monitoring someone without being discovered.

You know, since Xiao Min is not a simple character, you naturally can't just randomly point to someone else to replace him.

But at this moment she was wondering whether Shen Muyun should send someone over for this matter.

As for sending someone trained by the Wang family, Zhou Jinran had never considered it at all.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this matter is a matter between the two countries. Since it is a matter between the two countries, it is natural that General Shen and others need to do it.

"You have to send someone to deal with Xiao Min. As for his purpose, we will see after Brother Qingyao and the others have dealt with Zhang Yun's matter."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over after I get back."

After the two of them agreed, they got up and went to check the situation in various places of Jishiditang.

Although they had read the booklets Zhou Mingyu gave them, it was ultimately better to go and inspect in person than to read in the booklets.

Since she hasn't been here for several months, there's nothing wrong with taking this opportunity to take a closer look at Jishiditang's situation.

The first place the two arrived at was where Jishidiang sewed clothes and shoes and socks. This place was specially set up to cooperate with General Shen and his men, and it was also the most stable source of income for Jishidiang.

At this time, Zhou Jinran, who had just entered, saw Wang Nan. The change in Wang Nan was even greater than that in Zhou Mingyu.

Yes, she is a person who is cruel to others and even crueler to herself, otherwise she would not have dealt with Uncle Zhou Liu so easily.

Now, as soon as the man who had been so decisive and swift saw Zhou Jinran and Shen Muyun, his whole demeanor became gentle.

"Mingyu just said you were in the hall, why are you here now?"

"Auntie Nan, I haven't been here for a long time. I want to come and see everyone, okay?"

Wang Nan smiled and took Zhou Jinran and Shen Muyun to where people were working.

"We are well protected here. We are not exposed to rain or wind. Look, these are the clothes, shoes and socks we are making for the soldiers."

Zhou Jinran looked at the people sewing clothes with their hands and couldn't help thinking that if they had machines, they wouldn't have to work so hard.

As for machines and such, it’s not realistic to think about them now. However, she has made many improvements in weaving, and now they weave with less effort than before.

Zhou Jinran continued walking forward, looking at the extra areas and people, and looked at Wang Nan with some confusion. After all, this was not written in the matters Zhou Mingyu had given him before.

After receiving Zhou Jinran's gaze, Wang Nan glanced at Shen Muyun and said.

"Of course, these are the families of the soldiers. At that time, the conditions here were not good, so they all stayed in their respective villages. Now that there are living conditions here, they also want to be closer to their relatives, so some families moved here. Not only here, but also in several other workshops, there are these people. Because their identities are different from those who actively joined Jishidiang, we recorded them separately. I think Mingyu didn't think of this just now, so I didn't give you the book."

After hearing this, Zhou Jinran glanced at Shen Muyun, and when she saw Shen Muyun nodded, she spoke.

"So that's how it is. Aunt Nan, you just need to arrange these. If you have any other needs, send someone to Hujiao Village to let me know."

When Zhou Jinran said this, he thought that he would probably have to leave Hujiao Village in a few days, so he added another sentence.

"If I'm not in Hujiao Village at that time, you can go find my brother."

"Okay, I'll make a note of this."

After seeing that there were no problems with sewing clothes, Zhou Jinran and Shen Muyun went to other workshops.

After visiting several workshops, Zhou Jinran did meet the relatives of other soldiers. He didn't have any idea about them coming to Jishidiang.

On the contrary, she felt that this was a good thing. After all, she had experienced the happiness of having family members by her side, and she had also experienced living alone, so how could she not understand the hearts of these people?

So now that Jishidiang can help their families reunite, how could she not allow it?

Besides, Zhou Mingyu and Wang Nan must have examined the people who were able to enter Jishidiang. If there were any bad people among them, they would have stopped them outside. How could they let them in?

Of course, they also saw Xiao Min. At this time, the two returned to the hall and talked about what they saw Xiao Min.
