His expression remained unchanged, but his shoulders slumped.

"what!"

Nangong Yuan was startled and pressed his head: "What are you doing?"

Sure enough, it’s even cuter.

Chen Lou coughed: "My hands are a little weak."

She was stunned and suddenly remembered that Chen Lou had a broken arm.

Although there are healing potions, they are not without effect.

"Otherwise, let me down first."

"It's okay, I can still hold on, hurry up."

Seeing that his tone was still calm, Nangong Yuan drew out his sword and started digging.

The dirt above her head fell down with a thud. She tried her best to avoid it and rubbed her eyes.

"Otherwise I'll do it."

Nangong Yuan shook her head and said, "I can't stand up to you, so forget it."

With her physique, can she carry it without being crushed to death?

"Ok."

Chen Lou did not insist any longer. The two of them dug for a long time. Nangong Yuan's shoulders and neck were in so much pain that they were about to fall off. Finally, they managed to dig a hole that was big enough for people to enter and exit.

"I'll take you up."

The man lifted her up with his strong arms, and Nangong Yuan climbed up.

Soon, she turned around and reached down.

Chen Lou looked at her and suddenly smiled.

The smile disappeared quickly and Nangong Yuan didn't see it.

After going up, the mine became wider and they followed the footsteps of people for a while.

Chen Lou felt his arm was sore and rubbed it.

Suddenly he felt a slight pain in the center of his elbow, so he rolled up his sleeves to check.

There was a small reddish spot in the middle of the arm, as if it had been pricked by a needle.

He was a little confused, but didn't think much about it.

"This way."

Nangong Yuan waved at him, and when the two of them saw the light, it was almost dark outside.

Fortunately, the night was the best camouflage. The two men went down from the second-level mine and left quietly.

"Where are you going?"

Chenlou looked at the sky and said, "I'll take you back to Yu Mansion first, and then go back."

"Okay, but how did you get in? Hongzhou is under martial law during this period."

"I used some tricks."

Nangong Yuan thought about it and decided that with the power of their Chenying Studio, it would be easy to get in.

"How is the situation in Fuyang being handled? Hongzhou got the news and started to transfer the evidence. We need to do it as soon as possible."

"It has been reported, and I believe there will be results soon."

Both of them looked a little disheveled, and no one paid any attention to them as they walked down the street.

"I will be hiding here for a few more days. If you have any news, remember to tell me."

Chen Lou nodded and said, "Our people are also watching. If you want to pass on the message, blow this three times and someone will come to see you."

He handed Nangong Yuan a specially made small whistle with a calm expression.

"Okay, thank you."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Lou.

"Why... do you want to interfere in these matters? It's too dangerous."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "Someone has to do it. If it's not me, it will be someone else. Aren't you the same?"

How did a leader of assassins get involved in all these things?

Chen Lou was silent for a moment, then said, "I see. I still don't know your name."

The man waved his hand and said, "When this matter is over, you treat me to a meal and I will tell you."

After saying that, she left in a cool and graceful manner, without any hesitation.

Chen Lou stood there looking at her, his expression indescribably gentle.

Meanwhile, Kyoto.

A woman brought her child to sue the Jingzhao Yin, and every word she wrote was heart-wrenching.

This involves a major case in Kyoto.

The Jingzhao Yin had no regard for the law and killed all the foreign refugees.

The only woman who escaped, with her child, was protected at all costs before she could reach the palace gate.

The emperor was furious and personally tried the case.

At the same time, Huang He's memorial also arrived.

In it, he wrote about the local wealthy family, the Fei family, who colluded with gangsters to oppress the people and threaten officials.

This group of people also held a meeting on Sansheng Mountain, suspected of criticizing the imperial court. There were a large number of people, so Huang He arrested this group of people on the grounds of rebellion.

This memorial also included Lin Qingshuang's confession.

"How dare you! Who the hell do you think the Fei family is? How dare they disperse the people?"

The escaped woman knelt before the emperor and told him everything that had happened to her.

"The Jingzhao Yin chased the young master away and took us all to a prison in the suburbs, where he beat and scolded us at every turn."

After a few days, they seemed to find that the number of refugees was no longer increasing, so they started killing them.

"We came to Kyoto just to seek justice. How could the Jingzhao Yin have the guts to kill so many people? Please, Your Majesty, make the decision."

So the three judicial officials intervened in the investigation and found that the guards of Jingzhao Yin had indeed done it.

The person who directed them behind the scenes was the Minister of Revenue.

So the emperor put the man in prison and tried to find out the truth.

"A Yuan should have arrived in Hongzhou by now."

General Nangong nodded and said, "Wait for her letter. We will report to His Majesty when we get it."

Under the review of the Three Judicial Departments, the local authorities soon submitted a report.

After watching it, some people found something wrong.

“Since there are so many refugees in Fuyang, why has the granary been opened three times this year?”

When we checked where the grain had gone, we found out that it was nowhere to be found.

Huang He stood up to apologize, saying that the Fuyang officials had long been bullied by the Fei family and had no real power at all, so they could not get in touch with them.

He wanted to redeem himself by getting to the bottom of the matter.

The emperor agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Fuyang was involved in a series of events.

That group of gangsters captured innocent people everywhere and disappeared without a trace after they were taken away.

In addition to the food and various documents, the emperor thought about it and sent out the Jinwu Guards to investigate.

As they investigated, they found the matter in Hongzhou.

The court was suddenly in a turmoil and everyone was in danger.

But some people think it’s nothing.

"They are just some lowly vagrants. They are dead. Why make such a fuss?"

Prince Li took a sip of tea and said, "Tell Wang Yin to shut up. His whole family is in my hands."

"Yes, Your Highness."

King Li did this in private, but many people didn't know about it.

He is so calm and composed here, just throwing away the chess piece as he pleases, without any regard for human feelings.

The Nangong family just watched the situation and did not take any action in this farce.

···········

When Nangong Yuan returned that night, she found that Tao Zhu and the others had not returned.

The next day, we found out that the mysterious man had transported a batch of equipment to the foot of Nanshan Mountain.

"It seems that they are diverting their attention. I have to act quickly."

She immediately wrote a letter home, explaining the situation in Hongzhou, and then waited for reinforcements from the imperial court to arrive.

After figuring out the actions of the provincial government, Nangong Yuan's guard team had almost arrived.

"Since he is a distinguished person from Kyoto, he should be allowed in."

Yu Chengye asked to release the people and asked someone to send them to Shen's house.

Nangong Yuan changed into women's clothes and left Yu Mansion.

"Miss, I'm afraid there is something fishy going on here."

Nangong Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "If an enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!"
