It was unexpected for Jiang Dong to meet Luo Xi again in Tianlao. His eyes were full of astonishment. He had no time to rejoice in his misfortune and suddenly received a punch in the face...

Jiang Dong's head hit the bluestone wall, and blood instantly stained his entire face. In a dazed moment, he crashed into a deep and magnificent purple ocean...

His consciousness became unconscious, and when he was confused, a voice came from far away: "Jiang Dong, where is your granary hidden?"

The voice was gentle and tolerant, making people unconsciously let go of their guard and want to get close to her, "It's... hidden in Shi Rui's dowry."

Jiang Shirui, the eldest daughter of a concubine in the prime minister's house.

Nowadays, when a noble girl gets married, there is no shortage of shops, shops and other dowries. Luo Xi plundered four granaries from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but by no means all of them.

For troublemakers like Jiang Dong, taking advantage of troubled times, it is a routine operation to hoard food at low prices and sell at high prices.

Luo Xi asked one after another about several places where treasures were hidden outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was indeed an old rabbit who could dig out the underground of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The cunning rabbit had three burrows.

When Jiang Dong was completely drained, Luo Xi added a mental attack, making him completely unconscious...

Mother Jiang in the cell opposite saw her son being punched, his mouth moving back and forth, and what he said specifically could not be heard due to the distance.

Then Jiang Dong fainted and Jiang's mother was so frightened that she shouted to attract the jailer, "Kill people! Kill people! Come quickly!"

"What happened?"

The jailer ran over with a bloody whip. When he saw the calm-looking Luo Xi and the bloody Jiang Dong in the cell, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

I heard that the new arrival hit the fourth prince in the street, but I didn’t expect that the first thing she did when she came in was to hit him again...

At that moment, a jailer with a fierce look on his face wanted to open the cell door and give Luo Xi a taste. Before his hand touched the lock, a loud shout came from behind:

"What are you doing?"

The fierce-looking jailer trembled and turned around. The minister of Dali Temple was walking quickly with the fourth prince dressed in splendor. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

The two stopped in front of the cell door. The fourth prince spoke in a gentle tone, with a feeling of spring breeze.

"Master Lu, can you recuse yourself? I suspect that the villain was ordered to assassinate, and I want to interrogate him personally."

Lu Changqing looked ugly and said firmly: "This is against the rules. To interrogate prisoners alone requires His Majesty's handwriting."

The fourth prince took out a token, his expression did not change, and his tone became a little tougher.

"My father handed over the martial arts test to this prince, and the criminal Luo Xi committed a crime because he was dissatisfied with the results. This prince has the right to bring him to trial. Is Mr. Lu's extra obstruction because he is dissatisfied with my father's will?"

As soon as the big hat was put down, Lu Changqing's face became more and more ugly, he said nothing, rolled up his sleeves and left.

Zhan Ting watched the Minister of Dali Temple leave, knowing that he was going to complain to the emperor, but it didn't matter, this little time was enough.

He smiled and looked at Luo Xi, "See you again..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Dong fainting by the wall, and his expression changed slightly.

He narrowed his eyes, winked at the guard behind him, regained his composure and finished:

"We meet again. I tried to get acquainted with you several times but missed it. Do you want to talk to me alone now? After all..."

His voice changed and his smile deepened, "Your attack on this temple could be a misunderstanding, or it could be... an assassination!"

Luo Xi brushed off the grass clippings on her body and stood up, "Then let's talk!"

"Very good. This prince likes people who know current affairs." In order to show courtesy as a corporal, he took the key from the guard and wanted to open the cell door himself.

"No need!" Luo Xi sneered, stretched out a white hand and pressed it on the iron chain binding the prison door...

Then, a few crisp sounds of "ka ka" sounded in everyone's ears...

The iron chain, which was as thick as an adult's arm, broke inch by inch amid the stunned expressions of everyone, and finally fell to the ground with a "crash"!

Luo Xi opened the cell door and stooped out, standing opposite the fourth prince whose Adam's apple kept sliding, with a look on his face that made him smile.

"Let's go! Don't you want to talk to me? Why are you standing there?"

"Hula!" The guards brought by the fourth prince surrounded Luo Xi, all looking alert to prevent the other party from rising up and hurting the master.

Luo Xi smiled and took the lead to walk forward. When she saw her smiling but cold peach blossom eyes, the guard uncontrollably moved out of the way.

Looking at Luo Xi, who was walking slowly and leisurely as if he were swimming in a lake, the guard came back to his senses and stopped the fourth prince who wanted to follow.

"The master is not right, it's dangerous!"

The fourth prince pursed his lips, his eyes firm as he pushed away the guard's blocking hand.

The family's staff analyzed it for him and found that Luo Xi was the most valuable person to win over in this martial arts test!

Not to mention that she controls the high-yield grain seeds that Dayong is experimenting with, but in terms of force alone, now that the emperor is seriously ill, a strong master is worthy of the people he must win over at all costs.

Yes, although his father's serious illness was well hidden, how could he hide it from the man who spent every day kneeling outside the imperial study room, begging for mercy for his mother?

What he couldn't accept the most was that his father excluded everyone and frequently summoned the prince... He was obviously the legitimate son of the palace, so why didn't he give him a chance to compete fairly?

That’s it! If his father wouldn't give it to him, he would just fight for it.

Zhan Ting's eyes turned cold, his steps paused slightly, and he winked at the personal guard.

The purpose of coming here today is to force Luo Xi to win over. It is also important to pry open Jiang Dong's mouth and get the whereabouts of the gold and silver hidden by the Jiang family.

This is also the reason why he used some tricks to lock the two of them together, so that he could have a chance to come into contact with Jiang Dong.

"..."

In a blood-stained torture chamber, various blood-stained torture instruments were placed on high and short wooden shelves, shining with a faint light under the weak candlelight.

From time to time, screams of executions can be heard all around. This environment can put a lot of psychological pressure on people.

As soon as Luo Xi came in, she took a look at the torture instruments, turned around and sat in the only chair in the torture room, raised her chin, and said to Zhan Ting who walked in:

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, let it go! After all..." Her voice changed and her smile deepened: "You don't have much time."

Zhan Ting froze and looked at the ruffian. Luo Xi, who was sitting in the chair, felt rude to her behavior, but it didn't show on her face.

His tone sounded like he had a lot of helplessness, "This prince knew that you were dissatisfied with your grades, so he was impulsive outside the ceremony department——"

"Luo Xi, your current results are only good at the imperial examination. I can't bear to have a genius like you buried. I hope to clear up the misunderstanding with you and help you shine in the imperial examination."

Luo Xi crossed her legs and raised two fingers: "You still have two cups of tea to talk nonsense about."

"This prince knows your grievances, but Luo Xi, the assessment results are not decided by me alone. Isn't it unfair for you to put all the responsibility on me?"

Luo Xi put down one finger to count down: "A cup of tea!"

Damn it, he said a word, it didn't take ten breaths in total, why was it just a cup of tea?

Arithmetic was taught by the Master of Astronomy?

The smile on his face was a bit unbearable, "There is really no need for you to be so hostile to me. I am sincerely here to help you. If nothing unexpected happens, we can become..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Xi looked at him with a half-smile, a look of regret on his face...

The fourth prince had no time to understand the meaning of the expression on her face, but the door of the execution chamber made a loud noise and was kicked open from the outside with a "dong" sound...
