The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 404: The Fire That Hidden the Eyes

Tian Muyu grinned, "Mr. Jiang is right. Since I met the princess, my brain has indeed become much smarter."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you about the Sixth Uncle's fake death."

"However, 213 bodies were carried out from the mansion, including men and women, old and young. I'm afraid these people are not from the mansion, right? Could it be that the Sixth Prince looted from somewhere else and pretended to be someone from your mansion?"

Old Man Jiang laughed, "I said that the prince is smart, but in fact, the prince is not that smart."

Tian Muyu didn't get angry, he just looked at him and asked, "Tell me the reason?"

But Mr. Jiang kept silent.

"When I was there, I remember there were 617 people in the palace. Excluding the 213 bodies carried out, there should be more than 400 people alive. So, I was going to look for these people. But I was stopped by the Qi brothers at Jiyue Villa in Fengyu County."

"But now, I know that these people all followed the Sixth Uncle into the capital. So, since we know each other, it should be easy to find you."

Tian Muyu laughed again as he spoke.

"I wonder where the Sixth Uncle's capable assistants are now. Let them all come out and meet me. After all, we are all old acquaintances."

Xiong Er immediately brought the people whose masks had been torn off to Tian Muyu.

"My Lord, look at these, do you recognize them?"

Tian Muyu looked at them one by one, "Sure enough, they are all old acquaintances!" He couldn't help but laugh again as he spoke, "Sixth Uncle has lost nine more people in this time. At this rate, those old people in the palace may not have more than 400 left."

Mr. Jiang clenched his fist in anger.

But he was held down by several soldiers and couldn't move at all.

"Take them all into custody so that I can show them to the Sixth Uncle later. We can't kill them without letting the Sixth Uncle see them. I am not a cruel person. I am more merciful than the Sixth Uncle."

Those people who were watching the fun finally understood what was going on.

Someone angrily threw stones at Uncle Jiang and his men, "You want to kill the prince, why do you drag us into it? We are just watching the fun from the sidelines. If the prince's men hadn't shown mercy, we might have lost our lives here."

"That's right, the prince is kind-hearted. He tried to catch you but didn't hurt us at all!"

"Your Highness, please help me. My daughter was kidnapped the other day. It was said that the emperor was going to choose a concubine and she was selected as a concubine. However, I am just an ordinary citizen. How can I be qualified to have my daughter enter the palace for selection?"

Tian Muyu was startled, "Really?"

The man nodded, "I dare not deceive the prince! I went to the city today to talk to the government about this matter, but they said that they could not do anything about it."

Tian Muyu looked at Xue Huai'en behind him.

Xue Huai'en stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Highness, according to the regulations, girls from ordinary families are indeed not eligible to enter the palace for selection, unless the emperor specifically approves them."

"No, no, I have never even been to the capital, it is impossible for the emperor to have seen me!"

"Who went to your house to bring someone away?" Tian Muyu asked.

"The county magistrate personally led the group there," the man replied.

"If the county magistrate goes there in person, it means that there is indeed an order from above to select a suitable woman to enter the palace. This woman is probably good-looking, and the county magistrate wants to use this to seek credit from his superiors. When she really enters the palace, these people will definitely package the woman's identity."

"How is your daughter looking?" Tian Muyu asked.

The man nodded vigorously again, "My daughter is indeed pretty, the only one in the area. Mr. Qin from the county had sent matchmakers to our house to propose marriage several times, but my daughter didn't like marrying an old man and refused to agree. I didn't expect..."

The man began to worry again. It was not that he did not want to gain wealth and glory by having his daughter enter the palace, but he also felt that their family was indeed an ordinary farmer, and wanting her to enter the palace to serve the emperor was a bit far-fetched no matter how you looked at it.

After all, he knew that all the women who could enter the palace were daughters of officials.

So he thought there was something fishy about this matter.

That's why I came to Beijing to find my daughter.

"What's your daughter's name?" Tian Muyu also felt that there might be something wrong, so he asked.

"My name is Qinglian, Hao Qinglian."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. If there's any news, I'll have someone notify you. Tell Lord Xue where you live later."

Xue Huai'en immediately stepped forward and motioned for the man to go to the side with him and write down the address of his residence.

As soon as the man stood up and left, a middle-aged woman came over and said, "Your Majesty, can you really redress our grievances?"

Tian Muyu nodded, "If there is really a grievance, I can help you after I finish dealing with things here."

The woman kowtowed to Tian Muyu in gratitude and said, "Your Majesty, please help me find my daughter. My daughter has been missing for more than a month. My husband and I have been looking for her for more than a month, but there is no news at all."

Xiong Er was a little confused, "Why are you looking for your daughter again? Have many women been lost in the capital?"

The woman nodded vigorously. "What the gentleman said is correct. From what I know, three girls have died in the nearby villages."

Tian Muyu was shocked, "Master Xue!"

Xue Huai'en was looking for a pen and paper to record the name and address of the man he had just met. When he heard Tian Muyu calling him, he quickly turned around and said, "Your Majesty."

"This is for the missing daughter. Please write it down as well."

"Yes." Xue Huai'en took the woman away again.

Seeing that Tian Muyu's attention was all on these insignificant little people, Uncle Jiang began to think of other things. He looked at his companions kneeling beside him and gave them a wink.

Those people immediately understood and struggled to get up.

In an instant, nine people rose up to resist, catching some distracted soldiers off guard. Old Man Jiang and one of them broke free from the soldiers' grip and rushed towards the crowd.

The incident happened suddenly. Tian Muyu was about to ask if anyone else had any problems when he saw some movement from Old Man Jiang and his group. But by the time he could react, Old Man Jiang had already run away.

"Chase!" Tian Muyu, Xiong Er and others jumped up almost at the same time and chased after Old Man Jiang and the other one.

Although Mr. Jiang is a bit old, he is quite agile.

He ran left and right in the crowd, making it impossible for Tian Muyu to catch him.

Tian Muyu didn't expect that an old man who cleaned the yard in Prince Duan's mansion could be so powerful, and he couldn't help but re-estimate Prince Duan's strength.

So he stopped immediately and stopped Xiong Er who was chasing him from behind, "Go back quickly and don't fall into his trap."

Xiong Er was puzzled. "Now that the person who was going to poison has been caught, what other tricks will they have?"

"I have lived in Prince Duan's mansion for more than half a year, and this man has never shown any martial arts skills, but you see, his martial arts skills are not weak. I suspect that there must be many powerful people around my Sixth Uncle. Therefore, we cannot act rashly, we must wait for the right opportunity to act."

As he said this, he quickly flew towards the team.

Xiong Er looked at Mr. Jiang who was running away and had to turn around and go back.

At this time, when Mr. Jiang saw that Tian Muyu did not chase him, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
