Confiscated property and exiled? I and the charlatan prince are competing against each other

Chapter 55 Jiang Yining discovers Shi Henian's true identity

From today, through space distortion, we can see Shi Henian's operations in the carriage.

Combining this with a guess, Jiang Yining let her mind wander and thought that Shi Henian should be using some kind of magic to check whether she was the original Jiang Yining.

Although she couldn't understand the result, she could see her own figure appearing in the flames, as well as Shi Henian's frustrated expression at that time and his various expressions now.

The answer that Shi Henian came up with at that time was that she was Jiang Yining.

At least in Shi Henian's eyes, she is the original Jiang Yining.

Thinking of this result, Jiang Yining picked up the spoon and drank the noodle soup, with a smile on his face.

This was because Shi Henian’s skills were not good enough and he mistakenly thought she was the original Jiang Yining.

After that, you can't blame her for pretending to be him and deceiving him.

After all, in Shi Henian's eyes, she is the original owner, and Shi Henian himself is a lonely ghost occupying her husband's body.

With this advantage, I can completely suppress Shi Henian in some daily interactions.

Therefore, Jiang Yining no longer pretends to have a small appetite.

This time when I go into the city, I will buy and try everything I like.

Every time she bought two of the same thing, she not only ate her own, but also snatched half of Shi Henian's portion away in advance.

As long as it wasn't stealing his money, Shi Henian could accept it.

Besides, the one who robbed him was Jiang Yining, so it didn't matter.

It was he who glanced over Jiang Yining's flat belly, feeling puzzled.

During the journey, Jiang Yining ate six scallion pancakes, a bowl of plain noodles, eight small steamed buns, five strings of candied haws, a bowl of spicy soup, and three multi-grain steamed buns. Where did the bowl of dough go?

People with special abilities are different from ordinary people.

All the food that enters the stomach is transformed into weak special energy.

She ate a lot, but the energy she obtained from food in this world was not as much as what she replenished from a breath in the apocalypse.

Jiang Yining satisfied his appetite by packing up a lot of food and buying some daily necessities before getting on the carriage for the return trip.

When leaving the city, he saw Li Xiaoyao and his companions' carriage waiting for him in front.

Li Xiaoyao bought a lot of things this time, even a big iron pot. It couldn't be seen in the carriage, but there were a lot of quilts tied to the roof of the carriage.

Jiang Yining was surprised and quickly raised her hand to poke Shi Henian: "Husband, look, what do they want to do by buying so much?"

Shi Henian also came over curiously.

The couple squeezed together and looked out of the same carriage window.

Shi Henian thought about it and realized that when he was emperor, he had also ordered the confiscation of the homes of many corrupt officials and treacherous ministers.

In the imperial city, even if there are family feuds, there are always relatives and friends just a few doors apart.

As long as the criminal was not visited by his relatives, he would be guilty of a crime punishable by death, and there would always be relatives who would give money to the criminal.

In addition to the things hidden by the prisoners themselves, these are the profits that the officials can make during their exile.

Last night, Ma Zi withheld food from the exiled prisoners and attacked women and children, for which he was punished by heaven.

Everything Ma Zi did was tacitly approved by Wang Dashan at the beginning.

But as soon as Ma Zi died, Wang Dashan restored the food rations for the exiled prisoners.

It was obvious that Ma Zi's death served as a warning to these exiled officials.

Everyone is afraid of death. They cannot guarantee that if they continue to ignore human nature and oppress it, they will be the next one to be punished by God.

But it is difficult to make money from exiled prisoners without starving them.

It’s not easy to rob openly, so I have to think of other ways.

Shi Henian, who was particularly sensitive about money, saw through Wang Dashan's intention of asking people to buy so many things at a glance.

He said, "It should be sold to exiled prisoners."

"I understand the food, but are you selling those quilts to prisoners?" Jiang Yining was puzzled. "The roads are difficult to walk on, and the prisoners are in chains, so it's not easy for them to carry the quilts."

"You can also rent quilts." Shi Henian raised his lips and smiled.

He looked at Jiang Yining and said, "It's so cold at night nowadays that even an adult man can't stand it. If this quilt costs 100 taels of silver per night and there are limited quantities, would you rent it if you have children or elderly people at home?"

Jiang Yining: "..."

She turned her head and looked at Shi Henian in silence.

It was previously speculated that Shi Henian was a supernatural being who came from the end of the world.

But now, she felt that Shi Henian might be a black-hearted boss who made money from the dead in modern times.

He is superstitious and regards money as his life.
