After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

"Princess, people have brought it."

Now that she has rested comfortably and the New Year is over, Yan Muan feels that she can work again.

"Bring it up."

The person who was blindfolded was the hawker he saw at the temple fair last time. Luo Hui sent people to keep an eye on him for a few days and figured out his current situation. It was not optimistic.

The vendor's name was Fan You. The moment he uncovered the black cloth and saw Yan Mu'an, he immediately shook his legs. Yan Mu'an didn't want to talk to him, "Mingren don't talk secretly in front of me. Fan You, how many years have you been lurking here?"

Fan You subconsciously wanted to quibble, but Luo Hui kicked him in the back of the knee, "You must not lie in front of the princess. Think about your wife and the child in her belly."

Fan You knelt on the ground, with heaven and man at war in his heart. He was madly torn between killing himself to avoid being tortured and betraying the heavenly saint to protect his wife and children. Yan Muan did not rush him, and just quietly watched the barrage on his head. Change, and at the same time raised his hand to stop Luo Hui from scolding Fan You.

When it was almost done, she spoke, "Since I can invite you here, I will naturally know your identity. You can choose not to tell me. Don't worry, I am a kind person and will never touch you." Your wife and children just won’t let you walk out of the palace gate again.”

As soon as these words came out, Fan You immediately panicked. If his wife fell into the hands of those people, her life would be worse than death. Regardless of whether he had betrayed or not, those people would not let his wife go.

"If I do it, can the princess save my wife and let her give birth to the child safely?"

Yan Mu'an shook his head, "I heard that you and your wife have a good relationship. What if something happens to you and your wife doesn't want to live anymore?"

"It's hard for the King of Hell to persuade the damn ghost. This princess can't promise you, but..."

"If you not only confess but also perform meritorious service, that's another matter. I can not only protect your wife and children, but also you and reunite your family. It's up to you how you choose."

Fan You didn't believe the people he saw, but the current situation couldn't tolerate his disbelief, "I'll do it."

Yan Muan raised his eyes and said, "Let Lin Xun come."

Lin Xun had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, still holding pen, ink and paper in his hand. After sitting down at the place prepared for him by Yan Muan, he spoke, "Yongcheng is not the capital of Southern Qi. What is the purpose of lurking here with so many of you? "

Fan You struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally spoke with difficulty, "There is a mine in Yongcheng. I don't know what it is, but when it is ignited, it can instantly eject a large amount of hot air. The hot air is much higher than the heat of charcoal fire. Tiansheng is on the battlefield. The big killer weapon Ghost Flame has the kind of ore inside it."

Yan Mu'an frowned, forgiving her shallow knowledge, but she really couldn't think of any mine that could generate huge amounts of heat.

Lin Xun asked in a deep voice: "Where is the mineral vein?"

"Just below the royal ancestral tomb."

Everyone

Yan Mu'an suddenly understood why Southern Qi was so unlucky. In the past, the emperor and the princes worked so hard but were easily defeated. The ancestors were buried on the top of a mountain that could generate huge amounts of heat. Now that the ancestral graves were hollowed out, she even doubted the bones. Are you still there?

She could understand why the powerful Tiansheng didn't just ask Nan Qi to hand over the mineral veins. Those were ancestors, and the emperor would not agree even if he risked his life.

"If that's the case, then why do you spies still enter the city?"

With the opening, Fan You's psychological burden was lightened. He sold everything, and simply sold it completely. "Firstly, it is to monitor the movements in the city to prevent the mines from being known; secondly, this is the ancestral land of the Southern Qi royal family, and the superiors predict that the Southern Qi The emperor Xu had plans to move the capital back to Yongcheng, so he arranged for people to come over first and get used to it before arriving at the capital of Southern Qi smoothly."

Master, this is using Yongcheng as a training base for spies, no wonder there are so many of them.

Fan You was still talking, saying that there are many roads to Yongcheng, and there are many merchants coming to Yongcheng. It is easy for spies to lurk in this place, so spies from Tiansheng come here first, and then Go to different places as needed. Of course, most of them go to the capital or to the border.

There is no need to worry about the rest of the matter. Fan You answers whatever you ask. Although he is an inconspicuous merchant, he seems to have a position in this organization and knows a lot more than those who assassinated her before.

Lin Xun was very upset, feeling that he still hadn't cleaned up the mouths of those people before, and planned to interrogate them again tonight.

"Why assassinate the princess?"

Fan You said that they all followed orders because the arrival of Yan Muan made the people behind the scenes aware of the crisis. "Yongcheng used to be very peaceful. The princess changed the situation when she came. She was worried that you would discover the mineral vein sooner or later, so she was ready to end it first." about you."

Yan Muan snorted coldly, "Seeing that you have a good attitude, I'll give you a chance to make a contribution, do you want to?"

Fan You kowtowed, "Please give me your instructions, Princess."

Yan Mu'an raised her lips and smiled, "I don't want to be noticed by people wherever I go, and I want to catch all those people. You think of a way. I will cooperate with you. After the incident is completed, I will give you a new identity."

"Fan You, you have said everything that should be said and should not be said. You have no other choice except to be loyal to this princess."

"Fan You is willing to be loyal to the princess."

Two days later, Yan Mu'an packed lightly and headed to Yongcheng Pier, preparing to go out and use his body as bait to capture the assassinating spies in one fell swoop.

Originally, Magistrate Yang wanted to come with her, but considering that Magistrate Yang would definitely arrange a lot of guards, she refused and asked him not to interfere.

Luo Hui had already arranged for people to be busy at the dock. When Yan Muan arrived, the entire dock was still in full swing. There were only two places left where the ships originally parked, one for cargo ships and one for people to travel.

Yong Jiuye stood beside Yan Mu'an, "Most of the goods coming to Yongcheng come by water. This place will be busy in two months. There are no less than 200 coolies waiting here to unload the goods every day. If we follow Magistrate Yang’s plan, there will be even more people in the future.”

Yan Mu'an nodded, "If we can reach the capital by water, how many days will it take?"

Yong Jiuye made an estimate and said, "It will take about ten days."

"very good."

Yan Mu'an smiled and said, "You will accompany me when the ship is opened."

Ten days, she can stay in the capital for ten days and travel back and forth for a month, which is very convenient.

Master Yong Jiu was overjoyed, and Yan Muan glanced sideways at her, "Since Master Jiu got married, he has become more and more temperamental."

He used to be vulgar, but now he's a bit noble.

This shows how important it is to have a capable wife.

Master Yong Jiu was even happier. He also felt that he felt different after changing his wife. He was in high spirits every day. He took a closer look at Yan Muan's guards and found that he had only brought a few people with him today, so he thought about urging her to go back. What if something goes wrong?

Yan Mu'an smiled and said: "The sky is clear and the world is bright, where do so many accidents come from?"
