Knowing that he had many things on his mind, Jiang Qianruo patted his hand: "No matter what, you are the child I watched grow up. Whenever you call me grandma, I am always happy."

Xie Siheng smiled: "I know...grandma."

Jiang Qianruo happily agreed: "Good boy! Get some rest early, we will return to Beijing tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Xie Siheng directed the Black Feather Guards to take the bodies of those people back to the Criminal Investigation Department overnight for autopsies. He stationed here with the remaining men, waiting to escort the people back to Beijing early tomorrow morning.

After Ji Changying asked Ying Er, he didn't ask anything. The matter was so important that Ying Er, no matter how stupid he was, knew not to talk nonsense and be vague.

Knowing his difficulty, Ji Changying didn't deliberately embarrass him, turned around and left to rest.

Silent all night.

With the Black Feather Guards watching here, Xing Wu and his group of guards rarely slept soundly in the past half month, and woke up much more energetic the next day.

When it hit the road again, all sides of the carriage had been repaired. Except for the pitted marks on it that could prove what had happened, everything else was restored.

Even the two horses that were hit by arrows were replaced by two horses of the same color.

"My dear, you are worthy of being an official in Beijing. Look at the difference at this speed. If I hadn't still had the banknote in my arms, I would have almost thought that what happened last night was a dream."

Ji Fengshou looked at all this and was speechless.

"Where's the money?" Ji Changchuan immediately stretched out his hand after hearing this.

Ji Fengshou wishes he could give himself a mouth and make you talk faster!

"Dad has never had so much money in his life, and he hasn't warmed up yet! Wait for me to guess again..."

Ji Fengshou folded his hands under his armpits and hugged his upper body tightly, talking vaguely but unwilling to take it out.

Ji Fengyi looked at his brother's useless appearance and sighed quietly: "An ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her parents-in-law, you are like this..."

If the life experience of the younger brother and sister is really confirmed, I don’t know what the two people above think of the younger brother. It’s so sad!

"No, what's that look in your eyes? Before I knew Yueniang's life experience, you thought I was good everywhere. Why do you dislike me all the time now? I'm still not your biological brother? Our parents are in the car. Here, when my parents went there, you promised in front of them that you would take good care of me!"

Ji Fengshou was irritated by his brother's slightly disgusted look, and immediately shouted angrily.

Ji Fengyi closed his eyes and reopened them: "My biological brother is fine everywhere, but once he becomes the biological father and mother of his younger siblings, how do you feel about it?"

Ji Fengshou's momentum suddenly waned, and his confidence was somewhat lacking: "I'm... not that bad, right? Just wait until I get there and tidy up."

"It's okay, dad! As long as my sister and I stand here, even if they dislike you, they can only hold their noses and admit it."

Harvest season: "····"

Unfortunately, he didn't feel comforted.

-

After walking for half a day, the team suddenly stopped.

"Why did it stop?" Mrs. Hu opened the curtain and took a look outside, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Ah Ying! Look! The capital has arrived!"

Ji Changying and Mr. Zhou sat upright suddenly and pushed their heads to the window to look out.

The city walls are endless and towering. Although they have seen many city walls along the way, they don't know if it is a psychological effect. They always feel that the workmanship of the city walls in the capital is more fine. Standing there, they look majestic and impregnable.

There was a long queue of people entering the city, including convoys pulling goods, rickshaws pulling firewood, vegetables, and charcoal, and peddlers walking with goods. Of course, there were also rich and exquisite carriages and knights riding horses alone.

There were all kinds of people on the roadside, which was dizzying to see. The reason why the carriage stopped was because there were too many people in front of it.

Seeing the same excitement and curiosity on the three faces, Jiang Qianruo couldn't help but laugh a little: "These are just waiting to enter the city, they haven't officially entered the capital yet."

Ji Changying turned around and asked excitedly: "Are there so many people entering the city every day? Is it more lively there?"

Although Liangzhou City is also more lively and prosperous, it pales in comparison.

The place is vast and sparsely populated, and it's rare to see so many people in one place at the same time.

Jiang Qianruo was stunned by this question. She had been living in seclusion in the palace all year round. The last time she went out, she left the capital privately with the help of Tang Qingfeng, but she didn't see so many people at the city gate at that time.

"Probably, there are so many people entering the city every day?" Jiang Qianruo was not sure.

Not long after their team stopped, it started moving again.

The teams in front were pushed to both sides, and they passed through the long queue and drove slowly towards the city.

There were people waiting in line on both sides of the road impatiently. They also saw that their carriage was in tatters and the women inside were actually looking out through the windows. They immediately concluded that this was not a wealthy family and pointed at this group of people angrily: " Why don’t they have to queue?”

Someone next to him recognized who it was, and his face turned pale with fright.

He tugged at his sleeve: "You don't want your life! I didn't see that the people escorting these carriages were the Black Feather Guards of the Criminal Investigation Department!"

"Black Feather Guard?!" The person who had been shouting just now covered his mouth and exclaimed, immediately retracted his neck and did not dare to say more.

As they watched this group of carriages enter the city, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss the matter in a hurry.

"What are the Black Feather Guards doing out of the city again? Isn't it to arrest someone?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of anyone causing trouble recently? On the contrary, the Jiang family's matter has not come to an end yet. Both King Zhuang and King Xuan..."

"Shut up! Do you want your life? If the Black Feather Guard hears this, wouldn't he be arrested and sent to the Criminal Investigation Department! Have you forgotten that last time a man was arrested for just whispering a few words on the street about establishing a throne? He was caught, and in less than half a day he was thrown into a mass grave?"

Everyone trembled when talking about that place.

The Criminal Investigation Department always only obeys the emperor's orders and acts cruelly and ruthlessly.

As long as no one who enters can withstand the ten tortures, they all want to die immediately.

The director of the Criminal Investigation Department was Xie Siheng, the only child of the late eldest princess, the heir apparent of Xuanping Hou.

He was deeply favored by the emperor, and now he holds great power, and his behavior has become more and more cruel and surly. Even his own father has no sympathy in front of him, and he simply refuses to recognize his relatives for the sake of power.

Thinking of this, the person who had just discussed the two princes looked around in fright, and immediately did not dare to talk about this topic again.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and get into the city. If you're too late, you won't be able to catch up with the excitement of the Beiyan envoy entering Beijing."
