After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The three of them took a carriage and toured around Yangping County.

Didn't find anything wrong.

"It seems that we won't be able to find any useful information today." Xiao Yujing said.

Jiang Ruoli also noticed it.

Yangping County is too peaceful and too normal.

It was so peaceful that it was even a little eerie.

Seeing the mother and daughter passing by on the side of the road, Jiang Ruoli finally realized what was wrong.

"The people here all look lifeless."

Lifeless.

Xiao Yujing nodded.

It seems that the entire Yangping County is under the control of Wei Kangyuan.

Everything that is being shown now is just a whitewash.

He wanted to find out how much trouble was hidden under this calm appearance.

"Let's go back." Xiao Yujing said.

"Don't you want to go to the salt field?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

Aren’t they here to investigate the salt workers?

"Are you stupid?" Jiang Cijin looked at Jiang Ruoli, "Since such a big thing happened at the salt field, can they let anyone in casually?"

Jiang Ruoli rolled her eyes at him.

How does she know? !

"Then when are we going?"

Xiao Yujing touched her head and smiled gently.

"Biding the moment."

Three days later, the team from Kyoto arrived in Deguang County.

There are twelve people in the team, a group of elite soldiers led by Birch.

They disguised themselves as a merchant caravan coming from Kyoto and, on the pretext of going to Jiangnan for foreign trade, had to pass through Yangping County.

Early in the morning of that day, Xiao Yujing went out to meet up with the team.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Jiang Ruoli standing in the yard.

Xiao Yujing paused, then a smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yujing looked at Jiang Ruoli.

It's rare for the little chatterbox to come to see him.

Jiang Ruoli looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she spoke in a low voice.

"Your Highness, can I go with you?"

In the past few days, Jiang Ci Jin went to various surrounding counties to check accounts. He came back very late every day, and sometimes he was so busy that he did not return home all night.

She was bored at home, and when she knew Xiao Yujing was going to Yangping County, she became interested.

Since the salt field in Yangping County is related to her third brother, she might be able to find some clues if she goes there.

Moreover, the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all highly skilled in martial arts, so there will be no danger in following him.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing with burning eyes, with a pleading look in her eyes.

The smile on Xiao Yujing's face deepened.

It's not impossible to take her with him. After all, he can protect her and won't let her be in any danger.

"Okay." Xiao Yujing said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Ruoli grinned.

"But you can't come with me dressed like this."

Xiao Yujing looked at Jiang Ruoli's dress.

Can't wear this?

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Ruoli came out wearing a water-green robe.

The clothes were given to her by her aunt. They were new clothes that had just been sewn for Xie Zonglang a few days ago and had not been worn yet.

Her hair, which was usually tied up, was now tied up high with a jade crown.

A jade belt tied around the waist makes her slender waist more prominent, and the originally loose clothes appear even neater.

She had no makeup on her face, and her aqua green robe made her skin look even whiter.

Dressed like this, he looks like a rich young man.

Jiang Ruoli came in front of Xiao Yujing, raised her hand and turned around.

"How about it?"

She winked at Xiao Yujing.

Xiao Yujing stared at her without blinking.

The larynx rolled slightly, and the voice was a little hoarse:

"not bad."

Jiang Ruoli raised her eyebrows proudly.

She raised her arms and placed them on Xiao Yujing's shoulders wantonly.

"So we are brothers now?"

"Big brother!"

The smile in Xiao Yujing's eyes became even more intense.

He pursed his lips and reached out to brush away the long hair that had fallen on Jiang Ruoli's shoulders.

"Yes, second brother."

Jiang Ruoli smiled innocently.

The two came to the intersection together.

When the Kyoto team passed by, the two of them got on the carriage together.

"Your Highness."

Birch entered the carriage and reported to Xiao Yujing.

"Yeah." Xiao Yujing said lightly.

"Your Highness, are we going directly to the county government office?" asked Burch.

"No hurry, let's find an inn to rest first. You've worked hard these past few days."

Burch bowed his head: "To share His Highness's worries."

After saying this, Birch stood up and got out of the carriage.

Before getting off the car, he glanced at Jiang Ruoli out of the corner of his eye.

This young man, why does he look familiar?

The convoy traveled all the way to Yangping County.

Birch found an inn for everyone to rest.

Xiao Yujing and Jiang Ruoli were also assigned a room each.

"Do I have to live here too?" Jiang Ruoli asked while standing in the room.

Xiao Yujing nodded.

"The convoy plans to stay in Yangping County for three days, and I will be in Yangping County during these three days."

But Jiang Ruoli is a girl and it is not convenient for her to live alone.

"How about I ask Birch to take you back?"

Jiang Ruoli thought about it and shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll just live here."

Since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. She won't back down halfway.

Xiao Yujing smiled.

She has been following him these days, and he can't let her make any mistakes.

"Don't worry. If there's anything you don't like, be sure to tell me. I live next door to you."

Jiang Ruoli raised her head and looked at Xiao Yujing who was looking doting.

"Your Highness..." Why are you so nice to me?

After Xiao Yujing heard Jiang Ruoli called him, he stopped talking.

"what happened?"

Jiang Ruoli swallowed the rest of her words, smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing, I'm just a little hungry."

Jiang Ruoli touched her stomach, and it growled at the right moment.

Jiang Ruoli's face turned slightly red.

Xiao Yujing burst out laughing.

"Okay, I'll ask them to bring in the food."

After Jiang Ruoli had eaten and drunk her fill, she lay down on the bed and took a short nap.

"Li'er, are you awake?" Xiao Yujing knocked on the door.

"Come here!"

Jiang Ruoli packed up, opened the door and walked out with Xiao Yujing.

Xiao Yujing brought Jiang Ruoli and Boqi to the gate of the county government.

"who!"

As soon as the three of them reached the door, they were stopped by two constables.

Birch hurried forward to explain.

"My lords, I am a member of the caravan from Kyoto. We are passing through here and have come to pay a visit to the county magistrate."

"From Kyoto?" One of the detectives glanced at him and said, "Wait, I'll go and report."

After a while, the constable came out.

"Come on, the lord lets you in," said the constable.

Burch thanked him, and the three of them followed the constable inside.

When the three of them arrived at the inner hall, they saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes sitting at the top, handling official business.

The middle-aged man had regular features and a beard, and looked upright.

This person was Wei Kangyuan, the magistrate of Yangping County.

Seeing them come in, Wei Kangyuan quickly stood up and greeted them.

"You have come all the way from Kyoto, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

His expression and tone are very approachable.

However, the gleam in his eyes could not be ignored.

"I pay my respects to the county magistrate."

Birch bowed.

Xiao Yujing just nodded slightly, while Jiang Ruoli followed Boqi and bowed.

Tsk, I'm still not used to this male etiquette.

Wei Kangyuan welcomed them to their seats and looked at the three people in front of him.

The man who was speaking was very respectful, and he looked at the expression of the man in the middle before he spoke or acted. He must be their attendant.

The man in the middle doesn't look like an official. He holds a folding fan in his hand and looks more like a pampered young man. However, he has a blank expression on his face, so it's hard to tell what he's thinking.

Wei Kangyuan snorted in his heart.

It was probably some young master from an unknown family in Kyoto who came here to conduct a secret investigation.

It's a caravan, but they don't even pretend to be one.

The one next to him...

Wei Kangyuan looked at Jiang Ruoli who was drinking tea from a cup.

This man is too delicate and pretty, more like a woman.

Watching Xiao Yujing push the pastries on the table towards Jiang Ruoli.

Wei Kangyuan frowned slightly.

The actions of these two people are indeed quite intimate.
