Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

"Let him in!" Xu Cheng ordered. If he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't think about it and would ask him about his purpose in detail later.

Xie Jin came in and bowed, "Commander Xu, I, Xie Jin, have a secret report!"

"Everyone, step back!" Xu Cheng was slightly startled when he heard this, and sat up straight, "General Xie, please speak."

After everyone had left, Xie Jin bowed and replied, "This is a matter of great importance. Commander Xu, please keep me safe."

Xu Cheng was stunned. "How serious is it? It won't involve treason, right?"

"Yes, and it was Uncle Li and the Li family who wanted to embezzle Prince Ning's treasure with the intention of rebellion." Xie Jin was still hesitant, but Zhao Xiang's words just now made him realize that he could not have any luck.

"What?" Xu Cheng was shocked, his face serious, "Xie Jin, do you know that this matter is very serious?"

Xie Jin quickly replied, "It is because it is of great importance that I came to report. I am following the orders of Uncle Li to search for the Ning Wang treasure."

"Find the traces in Princess Lan Xin's Meilin Villa, and then follow the secret passage of Meilin Villa to find the hidden treasure in the valley."

Xu Cheng was shocked when he heard this, "Princess Lan Xin? Xie Jin, this is a serious matter, and we cannot tolerate any falsehood at this moment."

Xie Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, only by surrendering to Your Majesty and the Jinlin Guards can you survive."

Between two evils, he chose the lesser of two evils. In order to save his life, he told everyone about the hidden gold.

"Commander Xu, I did not lie. The Xie family is poor, and I left a box of gold bricks behind. They are exactly the same as the gold bricks in the Ning Wang's treasure. This is enough to prove that I did not lie."

"I followed the order of Uncle Li to hide the Ning Wang treasure in the village of Lizigou, thinking that Uncle Li would report it. Unexpectedly, Uncle Li did not report it, but only asked Pang Ming to transport the Ning Wang treasure to his private residence."

"Pang Ming's death made me realize that even if I knew the truth, I might still be doomed. I don't want to die. There is no point in dying quietly like Pang Ming did. A true man fights on the battlefield and buries his loyal bones in the green mountains. I can die with my eyes closed, but I cannot die in such a cowardly way and let the traitors go unpunished."

Xu Cheng had gradually calmed down. "Xie Jin, I can't let you go back until the matter is investigated thoroughly. Do you have any complaints?"

Xie Jin quickly shook his head. "Commander Xu, you saved my life. I have no complaints. But my mother and my wife are worried. Please let my servant go home and tell them that I have something to do in the government office and will come back when I am done."

Xu Cheng nodded, "Okay, I'll pass it on to you."

Xie Jin was put in prison, but the prison was relatively clean, and the living conditions were all good.

This was because Xu Cheng saw Xie Jin's suspected loyalty.

If it is found out that Xie Jin lied and slandered Uncle Li, his end will be terrible.

Xu Cheng immediately ordered three teams of people. One group went to Princess Lanxin's Meilin Villa to look for the tunnel, one group went to Lizigou, and the third group went to Xie's house.

He arrived at Xie's house first and wanted to take away the half box of gold that Xie Jin mentioned, but the housekeeper said that the gold was taken away by Old Madam Xie and taken to the farm.

Jin Linwei immediately took the butler and went out of the city to chase him back.

Gu Xirong was weak at this time, and she fell into a coma after drinking the medicine.

Xiuzhen was frightened and immediately asked the driver to deliver a letter to the Earl of Jingyang's mansion and Miss Xiling.

As soon as Old Madam Xie arrived at the farm, she was captured by Butler Xie and Jin Linwei.

"Madam, where is the gold? Hurry up, Jinlinwei is here to investigate, and the general has been arrested." Butler Xie hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead, trembling with fear.

Although the Xie family is a bit poor, it is still stable.

If the house was confiscated, all the family members of Steward Xie would be sold out, and the family would be destroyed and separated.

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she turned pale with fear. "Gold? What gold? I... I don't have any..."

Butler Xie was almost frightened to death, "Madam, this is not the time to quibble. If you don't yell out obediently, the general may not come back."

Hearing this, Madam Xie trembled and dared not continue to be stubborn, "In the carriage behind."

Jin Linwei began to search and indeed found half a box of gold, which he carried away.

Their superiors only asked them to find the gold and did not ask them to arrest anyone. Jin Linwei ignored them and left with the gold.

At this time, Old Madam Xie was trembling with fear and did not dare to return to Beijing for fear that her house would be searched and she would not even have a chance to escape.

"Madam, have you returned to the city?" asked Butler Xie. He still wanted to go back and see what was going on.

Madam Xie pretended to faint, "I... I'm not feeling well and can't go back. I'll have to trouble Butler Xie to take care of the house!"

"Then take care, old lady." Butler Xie didn't care about the old lady at this time and hurried back.

Xiuzhen sent someone to deliver a letter to the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, and Madam Gu and Madam Qin, the young mistress of Gu, rushed over with medicinal herbs.

"Xiuzhen, what's going on?" Qin asked hurriedly.

Xiuzhen cried and told all of Mrs. Xie's actions, "Our eldest daughter was pushed down by the old lady just to steal the gold in the storehouse."

Qin was startled and asked in a low voice: "Where did the Xie family get the gold?"

Xiuzhen shook her head and pretended not to know, "I don't know, this is what the son-in-law brought back. The family had no money in the account before, and this gold made things better. Old Madam Xie said that the eldest daughter was not filial to her mother-in-law and didn't spend money on her."

Madam Gu became more and more angry when she heard this. "I have long said that the Xie family is not a good family, but this damn girl insisted on marrying into it. If she had married into the Changning Marquis's Mansion, how could she have lived such a miserable life?"

"Where is Xie Jin? Have you informed him? Xirong is now in a coma after a miscarriage and won't see anyone. How can he be a husband? Does he think that the girl from Jingyang Marquis's mansion is easy to bully?"

Xiuzhen replied: "I have already notified him, but my son-in-law hasn't come back yet."

Qin seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't say much.

Soon, Nanny Li came over and told Qin what she had just heard.

After hearing this, Qin's pupils suddenly shrank, "Mother, Xie Jin was arrested by Jinlinwei! It seems to be related to the box of gold!"

Mrs. Gu was shocked, but she didn't dare to be careless. She looked at Gu Xirong on the bed, rubbed her eyebrows, and said to Xiuzhen, "I've been worried all day and I can't eat. I feel dizzy. Xirong is fine now, so let's go back first. Xiuzhen, take good care of Xirong. Reward!"

"Thank you, ma'am, for the reward." Xiuzhen thanked and took the reward.

The maids and old women around Gu Xirong all took better care of the young lady after receiving rewards.

Qin didn't stay any longer. She left the herbs, gave a few instructions, and then hurried back for fear of being implicated.

Gu Xiling was checking the growth of wheat with Zhou Jin when she learned that Gu Xirong had a miscarriage.

"Xiu Lan, please run a trip for me and deliver some medicinal herbs. Tell Sister Rong to take good care of herself."

Gu Xiling was too lazy to go see Gu Xirong. If she went, Gu Xirong might even say that she was there to laugh at her.

Xiulan hesitated, "Madam, why don't you just give us the silver? It's good for us to give away the medicinal materials, but if someone tampered with them, we won't be able to explain it."

Gu Xiling was stunned, and then she thought that it was not easy to cheat with the money. "Okay, then send 500 taels of silver."

Although she did not admit that Gu Xirong helped out of kindness, Gu Xiling understood that she was able to capture King Ning and find his treasure because she had received a lot of information from Gu Xirong.

"Oh, by the way, give Xiuzhen twenty taels of silver in notes, and five taels of change for daily expenses."

Gu Xiling is willing to reward those who have made contributions, so that more and more people will do things for her.
