Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Grandma Jiang looked at how tightly the other person had wrapped himself up and thought, "He seems very cautious. Even though he caught me in a place like this, he doesn't want to reveal his identity, for fear that she will recognize him and take revenge on him in the future, right?"

If I don't reveal my identity now, and I escape in the future without knowing his identity, I won't have to worry about him retaliating, right?

But this person certainly doesn't know that she doesn't need to know who he is. As long as he makes an appearance, even if he's masked, he'll leave a record on her panel. After that, she can remotely select him on the panel and kill him—but if he's not in her line of sight, selecting a target on the panel to kill him requires more energy.

Grandma Jiang would never tell anyone how to use her special abilities; she would only pretend to be scared when the people who had arrested her came in.

As expected, the man had read Granny Ma's letter and immediately asked her about her special abilities upon entering.

Grandma Jiang was no fool, so she pretended to be stupid at first, trying to get information out of the other party, saying, "I don't have any special abilities."

Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, the Second Grand Secretary threw a letter in front of her, then snorted coldly and said, "Don't play dumb. I've known for a long time that you have special abilities, but I was never sure until you brainwashed Granny Ma so that she couldn't remember falling from the observation deck. That's when I confirmed it and brought you here. If you don't want to admit it, then I'll have to resort to some methods. I don't know if you can endure it then."

After hearing what the Second Minister said, Granny Jiang realized that her brainwashing of Granny Ma had indeed been exposed. However, there was nothing she could do. She was determined to brainwash Granny Ma because she didn't want to be controlled by her anymore. Moreover, even if she hadn't brainwashed Granny Ma, given enough time, those who had received the letter would probably still arrest her, even if they weren't sure she had the ability. After all, these people were ambitious and would definitely not let her go.

She immediately feigned fear—in truth, as long as she had enough energy, she wasn't afraid of those tortures at all—and said, "Don't torture me. I admit I have special abilities, but... where did this letter come from?"

She wanted to know who had sent the letter to the person in front of her, so that she could find out who was secretly harming her and deal with them in the future.

Compared to the person who kidnapped her, the person who delivered the letter was the one she hated the most. After all, if it weren't for that person delivering the letter, she wouldn't have been kidnapped at all.

The Second Grand Secretary felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Grandma Jiang's question. He, a man of such ability, had investigated for over a year without finding anything amiss. How could he not feel awkward? However, as long as the other party didn't cause him trouble, it was fine. After all, the other party seemed to want him to deal with Grandma Jiang, and he figured that as long as he dealt with her, he wouldn't have any problems.

So the assistant then said, "This question has nothing to do with what I want to talk to you about, so I don't need to answer you."

Grandma Jiang was a smart woman and quickly realized that this person didn't know who the messenger was. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to hide the truth. After all, answering the question would please her and make her cooperate with him more. But since he didn't answer, he definitely didn't know.

Grandma Jiang couldn't help but feel contempt. She thought that this man only had a few people and his abilities were just so-so. If she were a man instead of a woman, and with this special ability, she would have been able to roam the world long ago, not just stay in the backyard. Why would he have to interrogate her?

Since Granny Jiang harbors ambitions for the throne, she is naturally no ordinary person, so it's normal that her ideas would surpass those of ordinary people. This is probably why Li San Niang and the original owner of this body couldn't find the murderer; their opponent not only possessed special abilities but was also very capable. It was only through Lin Lang's efforts that she was able to uncover her; otherwise, it would have been very difficult for ordinary people to discover the murderer.

Grandma Jiang didn't show her disdain, but only said, "Then what do you want to do by bringing me here?"

The second minister didn't beat around the bush and said, "I want you to brainwash two people, to make one of them make a mistake, and to make the other one satisfied with me."

The second-in-command couldn't say that the people he wanted her to brainwash were the emperor and the chief minister, so he only expressed it this way.

After hearing this, Grandma Jiang said, "You may not know much about my abilities, so I can tell you that my abilities have great limitations. First of all, I can only brainwash people within my line of sight. I can't brainwash people beyond my line of sight. So if you want me to brainwash someone, I have to see that person. Otherwise, it's impossible. It's a bit like hypnosis, both of which require working on the person in question."

Grandma Jiang thought about her behavior after dealing with Granny Ma. She had never brainwashed anyone remotely, so these people probably didn't know that she could brainwash or even kill people remotely. This was her trump card, so she deliberately said that she could only brainwash people in her line of sight.

The second minister, unaware of the situation, assumed it was true and immediately said, "When the time comes, I will arrange for you to meet them."

The Grand Secretary is very easy to deal with. All he has to do is tie up Granny Jiang, gag her, put her in a carriage, and arrange for her to be on the road the Grand Secretary passes by on his way to court. This way, Granny Jiang can see him from inside the carriage and brainwash him.

As for the emperor, that's a bit of a problem. He'll figure out a way to invite the emperor to his home during his father's birthday celebration so that Grandma Jiang can brainwash him.

After hearing what the other party said, Grandma Jiang said, "There is a second limitation. The higher the status and the greater the influence of the other party, the more energy is needed to brainwash them. I think you can feel this. After all, if my abilities were not limited, I could enter the palace, give birth to a prince, and then brainwash the emperor to make my son the crown prince. But this is almost impossible because the energy required is simply beyond my ability to accumulate. This is also why I only married into the Qinghe Prince's Mansion. I can't even brainwash my husband. Otherwise, with his reckless spending and promiscuity, I could completely brainwash him into being obedient. But I can't do it. So if the person you want to brainwash is too high-ranking, I can't do it. In that case, I am of no use to you. I suggest you send me back immediately, and we can pretend this never happened."

Grandma Jiang's words were half true and half false.

In fact, given Jiang Sanye's status and influence, it wouldn't be difficult for her to brainwash him. The reason she didn't succeed was because she had her own goals and didn't need to waste her energy on Jiang Sanye, as long as he didn't provoke her.

It must be said that the second restriction mentioned by Grandma Jiang San immediately stumped the Second Assistant Minister. He truly hadn't expected that this ability would have such a limitation. (End of Chapter)
