Accidentally dressed as an empress

Ji Yun walked towards Qian Yong, who quickly begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, hero. Another master said he could spare my life. I know I was wrong, I really do."

Ji Yun asked coldly, "Where's your ID card?"

"Yes, it's here." Qian Yong timidly dug into his sleeve and pulled out a token. "Master, please spare my life."

Ji Yun took the token and knocked Qian Yong unconscious with his scabbard.

Ji Yun blew a whistle, and several men in black came out of the darkness. Ji Yun asked the Lu family guards to keep an eye on Qian Yong, as she had to go back to the workshop.

The night was deep and chilly. In the darkness, a figure as light as the wind moved like a ghost through the shadows of Wufeng City. On the western outskirts of Wufeng City, in a clearing nestled in the woods, a fence surrounded rows of conical-roofed warehouses, and two watchtowers stood at the gates.

Outside the warehouse, a dark figure suddenly emerged from the darkness. It was Yunxiu. She was wearing a nightgown, her face obscured by a black veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

Yunxiu gently pushed open the granary door. Moonlight shone obliquely, casting a silvery glow across the ground. She walked into the granary, her eyes sweeping over the mountain of corn. She knelt down, ran her hand across the pile, grabbed a handful of the bright yellow corn, and let it fall through her fingers.

This is food collected by the whole country with its combined efforts, but it is not used where it should be used.

Yunxiu said to the system in her mind: [System, collect all the food here into the system and replace it with wheat bran.]

There was a famine in Yunyin City, so she gladly accepted the food from Wufeng City and took it to Yunyin City for disaster relief.

Yunxiu didn't want to kill Xu Lian personally. His anger would subside after a while. When His Majesty sent people from the Supervisory Office, they would naturally investigate the facts of corruption and punish Xu Lian.

We still have to pay attention to procedural justice. Otherwise, we will judge on our own and get into trouble, and also gain a bad reputation as a bloodthirsty person.

There was a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps outside the granary, as if someone was approaching. Her brows were furrowed, and a sense of crisis surged in her heart. Was she exposed?

Why is there another wave of people coming around here?

Who could this person be? Yunxiu thought, she should just hide for now, because if she ran into him, she would be in trouble again.

This night is destined not to be peaceful.

Yunxiu quickly retreated from the granary and rushed to the warehouse next to it. He ran around the wall of the warehouse and headed towards the nearest obstacle - a tall haystack.

Yunxiu used her hands and feet to flexibly climb up, finally landing steadily on the thatched roof. She stuck close to the straw, carefully poking her head out from the thatch, looking around, observing the situation outside.

A group of figures appeared within her sight, holding torches and moving quickly through the woods. Yunxiu decided to wait and see what would happen.

At this moment, Yunxiu was on top of the haystack, with the breeze gently caressing her cheeks. She decided to wait until this group of people left before finding an opportunity to leave.

The system prompted, "Host, this is Ji Yun. She brought a group of people with her, pushing a cart loaded with boxes. Ji Yun and the Lu family are investigating the counterfeiting of weapons, and she intends to put the blame on Governor Xu."

As the footsteps drew closer, Yunxiu's heartbeat quickened. She gripped her sword tightly, ready for any unexpected situation.

"Who is it?" The warehouse guard stopped Ji Yun.

"Master Qian asked me to store the goods here temporarily and ship them out tomorrow." The warehouse guard was startled, his face slightly changed, and asked, "Where is the token?"

"Of course there is. It's here."

"Why didn't anyone tell us at the warehouse?"

Ji Yun observed the guard's reaction and had already prepared a response plan. She said in a deep voice, "It seems that he hasn't had time to tell me yet. It's like this. Lord Qian just said it was an emergency and he needed to borrow the warehouse west of the city to store it temporarily."

Upon hearing this, the warehouse guard took a closer look at Ji Yun in the light of the torch and said, "Why do you look so unfamiliar? I've never seen you before."

Ji Yun smiled faintly and said, "I'm a guard in the Qian Mansion. Lord Qian sent me here today because of an emergency. Lord Qian is Lord Qiu's confidant and is in charge of the weapons business. Recently, the iron officials came to investigate, and the situation is tense. Sister, please let us go into the warehouse quickly. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain to Lord Qiu."

The warehouse guard pondered for a moment and felt that this made some sense. Besides, she didn't dare to offend him easily. After all, Qian Yong was Mr. Qiu's confidant. Thinking of this, she waved her hand and said, "Then hurry up, hurry up."

Yunxiu saw Ji Yun successfully transport the weapons into the warehouse nearby. After Ji Yun left, Yunxiu also quietly left.

After Ji Yun returned to the Lu Mansion, she went to report to Miss Lu Bing about what happened tonight. Lu Bing smiled and patted her shoulder: "Well done."
