The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 552 Interrogation
An uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the courtyard, startling them all. After examining the man, Chi Jia said to everyone, "His body is fine. He just vomited blood and fainted because of the reverse flow of his internal energy. He will be fine after resting for a while."

Chi Jia didn't say the rest. That person's true energy was flowing in reverse, and without someone else to guide him, it might greatly hinder his future martial arts.

All the people present had martial arts training, so they knew what the implication was, but what did it have to do with them?
Before Ayu could speak, Qin Huai pulled her back several steps and then called out Chitu: "Once this person wakes up, we'll interrogate him."

Ayu also said to Tangyuan, "Sister Tangyuan, could you please take some people to check the house and see if there's anything else wrong?"

"Yes." Tangyuan waved her hand, and several guards surnamed Chi followed her.

I thought the courtyard had been empty for several years, but I never expected there would be people inside.

“Brother Ayou, houses that are not lived in will easily fall into disrepair. You have bought so many houses, why don’t you just rent some out, or hire some servants to look after them?” After this little incident, Ayu felt that having so many houses was not a good thing.

For example, whenever they moved to a new house, Qin Huai would have someone tidy it up beforehand.

But these houses were originally bought by Qin Huai for A Yu to live in. He thought that if A Yu wanted to travel around and enjoy the scenery, she would at least have a place to stay.

But whether he rented it out or invited other people to live there, he was not happy.

“You’re right, but I don’t know how to arrange these houses.” Qin Huai looked troubled. “If we rent them out, according to the laws of Dachang, if the tenants do bad things in the houses, the landlords will also be implicated if there is a serious investigation. But if we hire people to manage them, I don’t trust those people. I don’t know who to hire.”

Ayu thought Qin Huai was genuinely worried about this, and after thinking about it seriously for a while, she clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I've got a solution!"

"Sister Ayu, what idea have you come up with this time?" Wang Wulang had just finished discussing with Wang Qilang and the others when he came over and saw Ayu looking delighted.

After telling Qin Huai about his troubles, A Yu smiled and said, "Brother A You doesn't want unfamiliar people to stay in their house, but he also doesn't want the house to be abandoned. So we need to find someone we know to help look after the house."

Wang Wulang tried to ignore the jealousy in his heart and focused on the problem of the house itself: "The best solution I can think of is to let the Qin family take over. The Qin family probably has far more servants than our family. If we send one servant to each house, can I solve the problem?"

“But then things would be back to square one,” Wang Qilang said, stroking his chin. “The servants live in the house, and if they develop any disloyal thoughts or want to do something, the master of the house wouldn’t know.”

Humans have desires, and with desires, one may take any path.

Even if they possess the indentures of those servants, it doesn't guarantee that every servant will be loyal to them. And even if they are loyal, they may not be able to handle everything perfectly, since people are different.

“I’ve thought of all the problems you mentioned,” Xiao Ayu said, clapping her hands. “Didn’t we just encounter an uninvited guest? I had a good idea about him: we can train a group of people to specialize in maintaining the houses and have them check each house for any oversights. We spent more than four years traveling and studying, and it might take them two or three years to check all the houses. In those two or three years, they can check the houses, explore the surrounding area, and maybe even do some business on the side.”

These people certainly don't need to run businesses, but they can still inspect the shops while inspecting the houses.

The people running the shops can also supervise them, which creates a chain with the houses as the thread.

As for what kind of business to do? Ah Yu has a whole bunch of business ideas in her head!
Qin Huai initially listened casually, but later felt that the matter was quite reliable.

What if we did more than just do business, but instead built an intelligence network?

Incidentally, we should also train his secret manpower, using these houses as bases and spreading them around, so that he will not be without people to use when he goes to different places in the future.

Preparing these covert agents wasn't for any specific purpose, but rather to be cautious. Given his sensitive status, even if he didn't aspire to be emperor, it was hard to guarantee that his royal brothers wouldn't have any doubts.

Wang Wulang still felt it was unreliable, but seeing that Qin Huai had already agreed with Ayu's idea, he swallowed back his objection.

Since Shin-chan and his childhood sweetheart are happy together, why should he be the bad guy?
Anyway, it's only my future brother-in-law who will suffer the loss, not my sister, so there's no need to feel bad.

After they finished discussing how to handle the house, the person who had fainted woke up. At first, the person was still stubborn, saying that he had accidentally ended up here. It wasn't until Chijia and the others found the person and clothes of the same size in the house and "gently" questioned him that the person finally admitted it with a pale face.

This admission was quite significant; he turned out to be a member of the Blood Wind Pavilion.

Mentioning the Blood Wind Pavilion, Wang Wulang and the others were no longer sleepy. They didn't know much about this organization before, until Xue Shisan was sold into servitude by their family and became a martial arts teacher at the village school in Hujia Village. Only then did he reveal a lot about it.

For example, the Blood Rain Pavilion he joined before was affiliated with the Blood Wind Tower, which was composed of various assassin organizations.

Blood Rain Pavilion is considered one of the better ones.

The Blood Wind Pavilion specializes in taking all sorts of murder orders, without asking where they come from or who they want killed. They just pay for it, and if it's done well, they don't charge extra; if it's done poorly, they don't refund the money. If their people are killed or captured, they never go to rescue them, let alone seek revenge.

"Your organization is quite unique," Wang Wulang said with amusement after hearing the members of the Blood Wind Pavilion explain their rules. "So, you killed that person in the prison?"

The man was kicked by the man in red armor, and his chest ached slightly. He immediately straightened his neck and said, "Our rule is that we don't ask the master anything, so I have nothing to say to you."

Wang Wulang rolled up his sleeves: "Hey, I have such a fiery temper—"

"Fifth Brother, let me do it." Ayu squeezed her head out from between the boys' waists and stood in front of that person.

The man saw that she was a tender, cute, and sweet-looking little girl, and he felt even more disdain.

Unexpectedly, the girl was holding a needle in her hand and, without thinking, stabbed it into his temple.

"what--!"

The pain made him tremble like a leaf.

it hurts!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I may not be skilled enough, I'll try again." As she spoke, Ayu raised another, thicker needle without any shame, looking innocent, and pretended to stick it into his other temple.

He gritted his teeth and held on, his voice trembling as he said, "I said, the master has another job, he wants me to kill Prefect Liu and Young Master Ning before midnight tonight!"

Little Ayu tucked the needle into her bosom, concealing her merit and fame.

In her heart, she said to Tuanzi, "Elf, your method still works."

This was a technique she had heard about in a story, which was said to be foolproof.

[Baby is the best!]

Of course, Tuanzi wouldn't say that the stories were all made up.

Qin Huai, standing behind, saw A Yu's actions clearly, and his eyes were filled with laughter.

The little girl is growing up and has become a little cunning.

This is good.

Of course, Ayu didn't have the courage to treat a stranger like that. It was Tuanzi who told her in the space that this person was very malicious and a real bad person. She shouldn't be soft-hearted towards him, otherwise she would be deceived by him.

Ayu trusted Tuanzi completely, so she took the needle and tried it.

With Ayu's needles, the interrogation went much more smoothly.

That very night, Chi Jia received the order and, accompanied by several guards surnamed Chi, quickly captured two people.

They were also from the Blood Wind Pavilion, and they attempted to assassinate Young Master Ning and Prefect Liu.

Another person attempted to kill a constable in the government office but was caught on the spot.

And it was precisely because of this that the suspicion against Prefect Liu was cleared in front of this group of people.

Instead of handing the hostages over to Prefect Liu, they invited him to their courtyard.

"What?! This is actually related to the massacre of the building back then?!"
