After crossing, I have the space to bring my baby to make a fortune

Chapter 194 Cook Zhang Qi
The wealth that the three major families have acquired over the past century cannot be underestimated, and all of this money has been used for construction.

"Master, the matter of food in the military camp has been investigated!"

Ye Xiao asked the people below to investigate the matter of food in the military camp. After several days, they finally found something.

"what reason?"

Even though Bai Yao was busy these days, she had not forgotten this matter. She would not be merciful when it came to military rations.

"It's because Zhang Wen's nephew works as a cook in a military warehouse. We found out that his wife opened a grain store in Fucheng. When the news came out that refugees were pouring into Nanzhou, the grain store was robbed. It was empty, and their grain shop is still open secretly, and the prices are very high! Zhang Wen found out about his nephew stealing grain, and helped conceal it, so he replaced it with moldy grain purchased from outside as a cover! "

"No reason!"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, Bai Yao slammed the table angrily.

"Have all the relevant people been arrested?"

"All caught"

"This Zhang Qi is smart. He wanted to escape when he realized something was wrong. As soon as he escaped from the military camp, he was caught by a passing caravan. It was the caravan transporting vegetables from the Bai Family Farm."

Ye Xiao said.

"The caravan escorted by Li Dashan?" Bai Yao asked. Li Dashan was from Lijia Village, and the village next to Lijia Village was Haibian Village. It was discovered that he was recruited by Yunxuan to fish, and later she was recruited to do transportation.

"Exactly, the generals under General Shen felt that Li Dashan had good skills and asked him if he wanted to join the army. Seeing as he looked like that, he wanted to go, but he didn't agree because of his master's face."

Ye Xiao said.

Fortunately, Li Dashan was directly spotted by the military camp. General Shen's people directly poached her people, and they had to find an opportunity to trick them back.

"A good man should be strong. Just let him go. It would be nice if he made some achievements. Now take me to see Zhang Qi."

Bai Yao said that she always felt that Zhang Qi's operation was not that simple.

The two of them went all the way to the prison of the palace.

"Princess, when I was searching my body just now, I found a small note hidden in the man's trouser pocket."

As soon as he entered the dungeon, the prison guard handed a small note to Bai Yao and said.

Bai Yao opened it and looked at it, frowning. Fortunately, she didn't let Ye Xiao kill the person directly.

At this time, Zhang Qi was lying in the prison like a dead dog, and he has not yet woken up.

"Wake him up"

Bai Yao said coldly.

An alert pawn had already brought cold water to Bai Yao's side.

The cold water hit Zhang Qi directly on the forehead, making him shiver. When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange woman standing behind a group of people.

"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"

Zhang Qi looked around and seemed to know something in his heart. Anyway, they couldn't expect to reveal anything from his mouth.

"Zhang Qi? Cook? What is your relationship with Xirong?"

Bai Yao looked at the man in front of him, who was probably in his early thirties, indifferently.

As soon as Zhang Qi heard Bai Yao mention Xirong, he unconsciously touched his crotch with his left hand, his face turned pale and he lost his belief.

"How could I have anything to do with Xirong? I'm just a cook in the military camp. Who are you to question me?"

Zhang Qi looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which made Bai Yao's eyes darken. She liked this kind of tough talk the most. "I'll give you two choices. Once you explain everything, die happily. The second life is worse than death. Your uncle and your family are still here. I have plenty of ways to pry open their mouths."

Bai Yao's cold voice made Zhang Qi's throat choke, and his face turned pale when he heard his family members in her hands.

"Impossible! They have obviously left the city!"

Zhang Qi was scared at this time. He didn't know what Bai Yao could do to make his life worse than death, but when he heard that his family had been arrested, he was scared.

"The entire Nanzhou is under the control of the prince. Do you think your family can escape?"

Bai Yao said that Zhang Qi's family had indeed escaped from Fucheng, but they were already under Mu Shi's surveillance.

"Why should I trust you?" Zhang Qi still didn't believe that his family was in their hands. He had arranged everything and it would be safe for his family to escape from the border and go to Xirong.

"What qualifications do you have to bargain with me and let him eat this?" Bai Yao had lost his patience and gave him a pill to feed.

Zhang Qi shut his mouth tightly and refused to eat. Seeing that the prison guards were not so easy to talk to, he slapped Zhang Qi's head, which made Zhang Qi's head buzz, and he roughly pinched his chin and fed him.

After a while, Zhang Qi felt itchy all over his body, as if thousands of ants were biting him. He scratched hard, scratching the skin and feeling very itchy, which made him miserable.

Is this what she said about life being worse than death?
Within a quarter of an hour, Zhang Qi was scratched all over with blood. The pawn next to him felt itchy. The princess was too scary. He must obey her from now on.

"I...said...I...said, please give me the antidote, give me the antidote"

Zhang Qi said hoarsely, his mouth also itched...

"Pour some cold water on him," Bai Yao said to the pawn next to him.

The pawn immediately poured cold water on Zhang Qi. He felt much better after the cold water entered his body, but the scratched wound hurt slightly.

In order not to be itchy again, Zhang Qi knelt in front of Bai Yao.

"It was people from Xirong who found me and asked me to secretly reduce the grain in the warehouse. They said that when the time comes, we can conquer Nanzhou and let our family be prosperous and wealthy. They asked me to be the head of a county. I thought about it for a long time before agreeing. The emperor released the refugees. When I came to Nanzhou, Xirong sent troops again, and Nanzhou would definitely fall. I did this to protect myself! When it rained, I would secretly open the barn door to let the rain in, and I would secretly transport some of it away and replace it with moldy grain. …”

Zhang Qi explained everything at once, why he did what he did and how he did it.

"How did the Xirong people find you?"

Bai Yao asked.

"When General Cao was arrested, there was a chaos in the military camp. I just went out to hunt for bird eggs to add to my meal. I fell from a tree and sprained my foot. A doctor who collected herbs passed by and helped me heal my leg. , we got acquainted with each other after going back and forth, and later I found out that he was from Xirong. He always thought about me, so I agreed in a confused moment."

As soon as we talk about General Cao Bai Yao, we know that when she just gave birth and Ye Ming was injured again, Cao Zhixiang betrayed Ye Ming and joined Zhao Hui. The military camp was really in chaos at that time.

Unexpectedly, it was because of the chaos at that time that this man became a traitor.

"What's the name of that Xirong man? What does he look like? How do you contact him?"

Bai Yao asked.

Zhang Qi pursed his lips as if he didn't want to say anything.

"Don't want to say it? Then continue living a life worse than death!"

Bai Yao said coldly, what she hated most were traitors.

She didn't think that she and Ye Ming were treason. Zhao Huideng was basically dishonest and had killed all the members of the royal family. He treated human lives with such indifference and ruled by inaction, so what if he rebelled against him.

They call this civil strife. The Great Zhou Dynasty is still the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Xirong outside the Great Zhou Dynasty has no chance to intervene.
