I was a princess in ancient times

The county magistrate of Anye is stupid, vicious and weak. He is the most greedy and the easiest to interrogate among the seven county magistrates in Shangzhou.

Ji Xinxue had already sensed the calmness and cunning of the governor of Shangzhou from all kinds of things that happened before, so she deliberately asked the magistrate of Anye to be interrogated again according to the identification of the governor of Shangzhou by the magistrate of Shangzhou. He directly defeated the defense of Shangzhou governor.

It's a pity that the governor of Shangzhou knew the Anye county magistrate whom he had personally promoted and trained far better than Ji Xinxue, and he had long been prepared that he would not be able to hide anything from the Anye county magistrate after being interrogated.

In Zhang Siyi's voice without any emotion, Shangzhou governor's face first showed surprise, then gradually turned into disbelief, and finally turned into depression and sadness.

If the Jin Wuwei hadn't lifted his foot to the Shangzhou governor's back in time, forcing the Shangzhou governor to keep kneeling on the ground with his head held high facing Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, the Shangzhou governor would still be sad and tired on the ground.

Ji Xinxue took in all the changes in Shangzhou governor's expression, and grabbed Yu Heng's clothes with his hands behind his back.

Although it had long been expected that the governor of Shangzhou would not break the defense easily, seeing this result with his own eyes still made people feel unhappy.

Yu Heng lowered his head and glanced at the clothes that were almost scratched, and took half a step forward, hiding his small movements at a distance that was almost close to Ji Xinxue.He took Ji Xinxue's hand, and the hand that was just behind Ji Xinxue's back was tightly pressed against Ji Xinxue's palm, so that Ji Xinxue's temper would not suffer again.

During the time when the two were making small moves, the depression and sorrow on the face of the governor of Shangzhou had turned into just the right anger, "Wang Sen slandered the minister, begging the princess to be the master!"

Ji Xinxue ignored the governor of Shangzhou, "Continue."

The governor of Shangzhou's eyes flashed blankly, until Zhang Siyi spoke again, the governor of Shangzhou didn't know what Ji Xinxue's fluttering words meant.

"The criminal official Shangluo county magistrate accused Shangzhou governor Yu Yanguang of misjudging the unjust case in 18 years, which caused the landlord's family in Shangluo to be destroyed, and all the savings of his ancestors belonged to Jiangnan merchants. Yu Yanguang was 19 years old."

There are a total of seven county magistrates in Shangzhou, all of which have the shadow of Shangzhou governor in their confessions.

The magistrate of Fengyang even cried bitterly and said that he saw with his own eyes that the previous magistrate of Fengyang was not going well because he was unwilling to join forces with the governor of Shangzhou.

As Zhang Siyi took out more and more documents from his sleeve pocket, cracks finally appeared in the always perfect reaction of the governor of Shangzhou. He began to subconsciously avoid the eyes of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and there were faint traces of blue veins on his neck. The body becomes visibly stiff.

Because the force of bowing his head was getting stronger and stronger, the governor of Shangzhou's hairline was already oozing blood, but he himself seemed to be completely unaware of the pain on his scalp, and there was no pain on his face.

The governor of Shangzhou’s gaffe only lasted for a short while, not even long enough for Zhang Siyi to finish reading a document from beginning to end, and quickly returned to ‘normal’. He suddenly began to struggle frantically, “I didn’t! I don’t know! This is False accusation, false accusation!"

Jin Wuwei remembered Ji Xinxue's order that they should not let the governor of Shangzhou commit suicide or be seriously injured, so he had to let go of the threat to the governor of Shangzhou.

If he didn't let go, the governor of Shangzhou, who was struggling like he couldn't feel the pain, might hurt his spine.

The governor of Shangzhou, who was suddenly freed, immediately rushed towards Ji Xinxue, his voice hoarse and mournful like weeping blood, "Princess, I have been wronged!"

At this time, the governor of Shangzhou had disheveled hair, a hideous face, tears mixed with the blood left from the hairline, and his clothes had already fallen apart during the frantic struggle. He looked as if he had lived in prison for dozens of years. The sinners who were completely locked insane for many years no longer looked like the calm scholar-bureaucrats before a stick of incense.

Facing the evil spirits of the governor of Shangzhou attacking him, Ji Xinxue subconsciously took half a step back and bumped into Yu Heng who was very close to him.

Yu Heng immediately wrapped Ji Xinxue's waist with one hand, "Don't be afraid, he won't make it through."

Before the words were finished, the Jinwu Guard had already knelt down and grabbed both ankles of the governor of Shangzhou and pulled them back, so that the governor of Shangzhou could only push forward in vain, unable to move half a point.

Ji Xinxue hugged the jade ball tightly, because the temperature difference between the hand holding the jade ball and the hand held by Yu Heng was huge, she subconsciously turned the jade ball to balance the temperature between the two hands.

Even though he knew in his heart that the Shangzhou Governor's madness at this time was still pretending, Ji Xinxue couldn't help but be touched. He stared at the short-lived madness and quickly exhausted, lying face down on the ground, only his hands were still pushing forward, his mouth Li still muttered, "The minister is wronged, and I beg the princess to make the decision for the minister." 'The focus of Shangzhou governor's eyes gradually blurred.

Ji Xinxue felt that he had seen many people through the governor of Shangzhou, the former magistrate of Fengyang County who confessed that his whole family became slaves because he did not go along with the governor of Shangzhou, and the countless "Zhou Zhuang" of Anye With the family of 'Zhou Zhuang', there are also villagers in Lijia Village who were taken away for 'service' because they couldn't pay the tax that suddenly doubled and their families

Did those people also kneel at the feet of those who could dictate their fate, begging for a way out like the governor of Shangzhou at this time?

After a long time, Ji Xinxue broke away from the distracted state, and said coldly, "Yao Zheng, are you guilty?"

The governor of Shangzhou was silent for a while, trying to hold back the idea of ​​whether Princess Anwu obtained these confessions because she had already attacked all the county magistrates in Shangzhou, or whether she just sorted out the confessions through secret investigations.He propped his hands on the ground with trembling hands, raised his head with difficulty and looked at Ji Xinxue, "I have wronged you, I beg the princess to be the master."

Only if he doesn't let go of his death, can he have the possibility of getting rid of the crime.

Ji Xinxue could understand the reaction of the governor of Shangzhou, and was even amazed at the calmness of the governor of Shangzhou.

With the numerous crimes committed by the governor of Shangzhou, at least three clans must be implicated.

The governor of Shangzhou was betting that the court would not find his criminal evidence, and that the people in Chang'an would at least protect his family.

"Zhang Siyi, take someone to bring the family of the governor of Jinwuwei camp." Ji Xinxue stared into the eyes of the governor of Shangzhou, and said wordlessly, "Go and ask those criminals if they have identified the family of the governor of Shangzhou for crimes." , called the imperial physician ahead of time, and ordered Jin Wuwei to start interrogation immediately."

The pupils of the governor of Shangzhou shrank suddenly, and his weak voice was suddenly full of anger, "Are you going to beat me up?!"

Ji Xinxue smiled, and shook her head calmly, "Don't worry, I will only let the Jinwu Guard carefully identify whether they are lying or not, and I will never wrong anyone. Calling the imperial physician in advance is just to be prepared, lest your family members have something to do with the Jinwu Guard. Misunderstood, I was frightened and passed out before I had time to say anything."

"Hahaha." The governor of Shangzhou suddenly let out a creepy and sad laugh, and fell back on the ground decadently, "I have been an official for [-] years, and I have to cut back on food and clothing to get a decent dowry for my eldest grandson. The old wife and eldest grandson didn’t do anything wrong to anyone, but in the end, they were tortured because I was imprisoned, haha.”

Ji Xinxue nodded in agreement, "You are really sorry for Mrs. Chen and her grandson. Ms. Chen has been guilty for nearly 30 years because she hurt her body and could no longer have children after only giving birth to a daughter. After her daughter became pregnant, she wanted to let her daughter give birth in vain. Fat grandson, he feeds his daughter great tonics all day long."

"Even if the doctor persuaded Mrs. Chen to give her daughter a lot of supplements, it would cause her daughter to have a difficult delivery due to an oversized fetus. Mrs. Chen did not care about her daughter at all. On the day of her daughter's dystocia, she heard from the midwife that her daughter would be difficult to conceive after this delivery. Choose Baoxiao."

Noticing that the cries of the governor of Shangzhou gradually became louder, as if trying to escape his words, Ji Xinxue sneered, and deliberately walked to the governor of Shangzhou before continuing, "Chen not only did not regret her daughter's death, but intensified it. In order to prevent your grandson from being divorced from you, you did everything possible to drive away your son-in-law. Your grandson is even more pitiful. He grew up under the care of his mother-killing enemy since he was a child, and he must strictly follow Chen's regulations when sitting, lying and walking, otherwise he will go Kneel on your daughter's tablet."

"The sufferings of your wife, your daughter, and your grandson all come from the fact that you can't bear to see you as an 'extinct', but you didn't tell them, you"

"Princess!" The governor of Shangzhou, whose body was getting stiffer and stiffer, suddenly burst into a rage. Before he could get close to Ji Xinxue, he was kicked away by Yu Heng who was always protecting Ji Xinxue.

After the governor of Shangzhou fell to the ground, he immediately raised his head and said incoherently, "My loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the sky, I eh, eh!"

Under Yu Heng's order, Jin Wuwei held down the governor of Shangzhou and directly removed the governor of Shangzhou's chin.

Ji Xinxue finally felt the gap in the inner armor of the governor of Shangzhou, but there was no joy in his eyes, and his tone was full of cold and sharp sarcasm, "You didn't tell them that after your daughter died of dystocia, you raised an outer room to give birth to you. A pair of intelligent dragon and phoenix twins."

The governor of Shangzhou hid the outer room and the twins very well. Not only the wife of the governor never noticed the existence of the outer room and the twins, but even the magistrates of the counties in Shangzhou who were watching every move of the governor of Shangzhou all the time. I don't know that the governor of Shangzhou has an outside room.

Fortunately, when Ji Xinxue found out that tens of thousands of taels of silver had been cheated when the banquet was held at the opening of the mansion, he specially sent Jin Wuwei to watch over the governor of Shangzhou, only to find out that the mother and son next door to the governor's mansion of Shangluo were not the so-called northern military generals at all. His widow and posthumous son, but the wife and children of the governor of Shangzhou.

Mrs. Chen, the governor's wife, is always harsh on her grandchildren, but she loves the twins next door. She often says that the girl in the twins is like her daughter. If you want to recognize that girl as a righteous daughter, you have even given birth to that girl as your grandson. Daughter-in-law's thoughts.

The governor of Shangzhou felt that Princess Anwu was deceiving him. Zhenniang and him lived in Hedong Road for the first few years. The identities of widows and widows brought them to Shangluo.

Except for Zhenniang, everyone who knew about it died, and even the twins didn't know that he was their biological father. How could Princess Anwu know about it!

The governor of Shangzhou was overwhelmed by unprecedented panic. He shook his head frantically, and even though he couldn't speak, he endured the severe pain in his jaw to make mouth movements.

'Do not implicate the innocent. '

If the arrangements he made in advance are useless or Princess Anwu is determined to kill by mistake rather than let go, only Zhenniang and the twins can survive.

They must not have anything to do with him!

The governor of Shangzhou was almost completely overwhelmed by all kinds of complicated emotions, and finally found the reason to be squeezed into a corner.

You can't panic, you can't plead guilty, especially after Princess Anwu mentioned Zhenniang and the twins.

This will not only fail to protect Zhenniang and the twins, but will even make Princess Anwu more sure that Zhenniang and the twins are related to him.

No matter how the next thing develops, he can only insist that it is Anye county magistrate and others who slandered him.

Find the calm governor of Shangzhou and no longer struggle, and seize the time to recover the physical strength that was rapidly lost during the struggle.

With Zhenniang's intelligence, even if Princess Anwu orders Jin Wuwei to come to her door, Zhenniang will make the right choice, and Dabao and Xiaobao will be fine in a short time.

He must maintain a distance from Zhenniang and Dabao and Xiaobao.If Princess Anwu asked the Jinwu Guards to torture him, he would deliberately pretend to be beaten when his body was reaching its limit. On the contrary, it would be more likely for Princess Anwu to believe that he had nothing to do with Zhenniang and Dabao and Xiaobao.

After figuring it out, the governor of Shangzhou not only stopped being afraid, but began to look forward to a new round of verbal confrontation with Ji Xinxue.

He has already felt sorry for Mrs. Chen and his daughter, and he must never feel sorry for Zhenniang and Dabao and Xiaobao again.

Ji Xinxue tidied up the folds on his sleeves slowly, turned around and walked towards the prison door without hesitation under the expectant eyes of the governor of Shangzhou, he already knew the information he wanted, and there was no need to continue wasting it with the governor of Shangzhou time.

Instead of prying the mouth of the governor of Shangzhou or exploring the secrets of the governor of Shangzhou in a deadly way, the most urgent thing is to find the money that the governor of Shangzhou has accumulated with his life over the years.

As long as the money is found, the governor of Shangzhou can be convicted, and the pressure on Emperor Changping to hold courtiers to buy him time can be relieved.

After leaving the East Prison, Ji Xinxue entrusted the Princess Mansion to Zhang Siyi, and rushed to Shangluo, where the Governor's Mansion was located, with Yu Heng.

He didn't believe that any greedy and cunning person could go to death, unless he wanted something else.

When the governor of Shangzhou heard that he wanted Jinwuwei to interrogate the governor's wife, Mrs. Chen and the eldest grandson, there was only sadness and sadness in his eyes. The different reactions are just more full-hearted performances and crying for grievances.

However, he only revealed that the young widow who lives next door to the governor's mansion is the outer room of the governor of Shangzhou, and that the widow's twins are also the sons of the governor of Shangzhou. Only then can we return to God.

From this difference, it can be judged that the governor of Shangzhou had other pursuits, which must be in the outer room and the dragon and phoenix.

After galloping to Shangluo in three days, Ji Xinxue was not sluggish because of not sleeping well at night, on the contrary she was full of energy, reminiscent of the vigor she had when she had not left Chang'an.

He and Yu Heng entered Shangluo in the dark and went straight to the next door of Shangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Half an hour later, most of the guards and servants of Shangzhou Governor's Mansion were stunned by the Jinwu Guards, and only those who were extremely honest could stay awake, but their hands and feet were bound and their mouths were gagged.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng sat at the head of the flower hall and drank the warm water found by the Jinwu Guards to warm up. In front of Yu Heng.

Mrs. Ping put her hands on the shoulders of her sons and daughters, and knelt down towards Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng without being reminded, "The lady greets you. Did you come to the wrong place? Next door is the mansion of the governor of Shangzhou who committed a crime. , the husband of the civilian woman is a general of the Lianguguan Guards, and has nothing to do with the governor's mansion."

The twins ignorantly followed Pingshi to kneel down, and the panic on his face gradually calmed down in Pingshi's orderly words.

Ji Xinxue was just looking for something, and didn't mind talking nonsense with Ping, so he asked instead, "Do you know me?"

He and Yu Heng didn't go back to the princess mansion after they left the Yadong Prison in Anye County, and went straight to Shangluo. Although the clothes on their bodies hadn't been changed for a few days, they didn't have any marks to prove their identities.

Ping's head drooped even lower, "I don't know if the nobleman is Her Highness the Princess or the Imperial Sister."

Ji Xinxue suddenly let out a chuckle, turned her head to Yu Heng and said, "Thoughtful, deep Yao Zhengzheng."

Mrs. Ping's arms around her son and daughter suddenly collapsed, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes, "Please forgive the difficulties of the widow, and don't say anything that will cause people to misunderstand."

Yu Heng said 'hmm', not caring about Ping's reaction at all, picked up the pastry on the table and brought it to Ji Xinxue's mouth, "Put your stomach first."

Ji Xinxue didn't want to eat, so she immediately leaned back, keeping the distance from Yu Heng as far as possible.

When Yu Heng saw this, he didn't force it, and put the pastry into his mouth, nodded seriously, "It's okay, you can take the cook away."

Ji Xinxue raised half of her eyebrows. When she first met Yu Heng, his and Yu Heng's tastes were very different. He liked bright flavors, while Yu Heng preferred soft and mellow dishes.The meals in Lenghui Courtyard were clearly arranged in front of him and Yu Heng.

Now almost five years have passed, and his and Yu Heng's tastes have gradually assimilated. Usually, what he thinks is delicious is also delicious to Yu Heng, and he can also feel the different delicacy in Yu Heng's favorite dishes. .

Could it be that this plate of pastries is just plain in appearance, but in fact, Yu Heng praises it only because of its 'neixiu'?

Ji Xinxue saw that Yu Heng ate three cakes, and was also curious, so she picked up a cake and put it in her mouth

Salty and dry, Ji Xinxue's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yu Heng picked up the kettle to fill up the empty teacup in front of Ji Xinxue, and comforted, "Some pastries are delicious and some are not. Maybe the next piece will be delicious."

Ji Xinxue almost laughed angrily at Yu Heng's unblinking words, but she knew in her heart that Yu Heng was also doing it for his own good.In order to get to Shangluo quickly, they were extremely anxious on the road, and spent almost all their time on the road except for sleeping and eating. Today, they only used some barbecue before departure in the morning, and there was almost five hours of dripping water.

Thinking that with the cunning and prudence of the governor of Shangzhou, they might only find clues to the governor of Shangzhou Cangyin here, and they have to go elsewhere to find the silver. The principle of fairness divided the remaining cakes on the plate into two equal portions, indicating that he and Yu Heng would each have a portion.

Yu Heng shook his head, took out two pastries from his side and put them on Ji Xinxue's side, "I ate three just now, and you only ate one."

Ji Xinxue was silent for a while, and without saying a word, she picked up a piece of pastry from her side and put it in Yu Heng's mouth.

Helplessness flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, and he opened his mouth to bite the pastry held by Ji Xinxue.

Poor Mrs. Ping bowed her head and wept for a long time without receiving any response, her heart became more and more panicked, she had to quietly raise her head to check the situation, just in time to see the first two people feeding each other pastries, and did not pay her any attention.

Feeling the tactful and aggrieved cries stop, Ji Xinxue turned her head with a smile that was not a smile, and vented her unpalatable temper on the owner of the house, "Crying sounds good, continue."

Mrs. Ping was silent for a while before she spoke quietly, "This concubine's husband died on the battlefield and was posthumously named a fifth-rank general. Even if you are a princess, you shouldn't humiliate your concubine like this, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers guarding the frontier. "

Ji Xinxue raised half of her eyebrows in surprise, and said with a sneer, "You're just an outsider, where's your husband?"

The two looked at each other, one eye was full of disbelief, while the other was full of undisguised mockery and indifference.

After a brief moment of daze, Ping's face suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body was shrouded in shame, anger and anger, and he yelled at Ji Xinxue, "I told you that I am the widow of Wu Yu, a general of the guards of Liangu Pass, why do you still want to give up?" Humiliate me?"

The sarcasm in Ji Xinxue's eyes was even stronger, just about to say that Ping's thick skin is also in line with the governor of Shangzhou, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stuffed with salty and dry pastries, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk to Ping's, his eyes were full She looked at Yu Heng sadly.

The corners of Yu Heng's mouth revealed almost indiscernible smile lines.

'good'

Ping, who did not get a response from Ji Xinxue, swallowed the rusty taste in his mouth, with strong despair bursting out of his eyes, and said bitterly, "Don't you want to force me to death? Good! I will fulfill you!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ping suddenly pushed away the son and daughter beside her who were also full of anger but did not dare to speak, and slammed towards the ground without leaving any room.

Even if Jin Wuwei rushed to Ping's side in time, he couldn't stop Ping, who was determined to die, from bumping his head. With the sound of cloth shattering, Ping, who was grabbed by the collar by Jin Wuwei, still hit the ground heavily. Makes a sound that makes people feel headache.

The twins slapped the Jinwu Guard frantically, and the girl yelled, 'I'm going to kill you to avenge Auntie' and threw herself at Ji Xinxue. Before she finished speaking, the Jinwu Guard pulled her collar and tied her up with imperial edicts.

When Ping escaped from the feeling of dizziness, she and the twins were tied up and thrown on the ground. Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng who were sitting at the head still looked at her as they did when they first saw her. There was disgust in the coldness, and it didn't change at all.

Deep disappointment appeared in her heart, and she hated why she hesitated for a moment when she saw her daughter's face. Only when she died, the children who knew nothing could be safe, and they might even get the guilt of the noble.

The Jinwu Guard who was in charge of searching the Ping Mansion strode in from the flower hall, and said in a deep voice, "I have searched every corner of the Ping Mansion, and only found a hidden compartment in Ping's room, which contained a box of gemstones worth 2000 taels of silver." , did not find any secret link between Pingfu and Cishifu."

The dying Ping immediately said, "The gem is something left to my concubine by her husband, and it was obtained from the Turks."

Although he had long expected that the process of finding the dirty money hidden by the governor of Shangzhou would not be easy, Ji Xinxue lost patience after waiting again in vain. He said coldly, "Take the twins down for interrogation alone."

According to the confessions made by the county magistrates of Shangzhou, the governor of Shangzhou was more greedy than the magistrate of Anye in the early years. It is the limit for such a person not to enjoy the wealth he has restrained. Handed down.

The so-called people flock together, Ping's forbearance and caution are as good as the governor of Shangzhou, and there is not much difference in this aspect. She dared to seek death on the spot, because she was not afraid that the twins would not find the wealth left by the governor of Shangzhou.

According to Ji Xinxue's instructions, Jin Wuwei deliberately removed the cloth ball that was blocked in the mouth of the dragon and phoenix when dragging the dragon and phoenix away.

The dragon and phoenix twins were both afraid and angry at the Jinwu guard who suddenly broke into their home and did whatever they wanted. The girl was more aggressive and yelled at the Jinwu guard.

The movement of the two awakened Ping, who fell to the ground and was drowsy. Ping watched her children being dragged away. Even the exaggerated emotions when she was so ashamed to commit suicide by bumping her head finally became real. She struggled. Climbing Xianji Xinxue while being tied up by five flowers, said repeatedly, "Please take whatever anger you have on me, they are still children who don't understand anything!"

Ji Xinxue endured the stinging pain in her thighs from riding a horse day and night, walked to Ping's side and squatted down, raised her hand and pinched Ping's chin to force Ping to look at him, and said calmly, "How old are they?"

Ping's chaotic eyes suddenly burst into light, and he said hastily, "You're only fifteen, you haven't got an engagement yet, you're just a child who doesn't understand anything."

Ji Xinxue nodded, "Did you know how many children under the age of 15 were separated from their loved ones because of Yao Zheng's family's ruin and death, and were even designed to be slaves at a young age to stay away from home?"

Ping's heart that had just raised hope suddenly turned cold. She shook her head frantically and wanted to break free from Ji Xinxue's hand, but Ji Xinxue's voice kept coming into her ears, "You think you are the widow of a military general in Northern Xinjiang? Does anyone know your origin?"

"No!" Ping's struggle became more intense, but unfortunately she had just hurt her head and was feeling dizzy and nauseous, and fell down weakly as soon as she made a move, relying on the strength of Ji Xinxue's hands to keep her face up. He kept murmuring, "I am Wu Yu's widow, I am Wu Yu's widow"

"Your mentality has not yet been passed on by Yao Zheng." Ji Xinxue made a cold judgment before continuing with what was interrupted just now, "You are indeed from northern Xinjiang, not the widow of a military general of the Yu Dynasty, but the Turks and Hans. Mixed blood, although your mother was forced to have you, she treated you pretty well, when you were 15 years old, you drugged your mother, grandfather, and uncle’s family, and left Northern Xinjiang after setting off a fire.”

After Ji Xinxue found out that the Kaifu banquet was cheated, he asked Jin Wuwei to keep an eye on the governor of Shangzhou.

A month ago, the Jinwu Guard found clues through the investigation of the servants who suddenly disappeared around the governor of Shangzhou a few years ago, and found that the Ping family was the outer room of the governor of Shangzhou, and the children of the Ping family were also the parents and children of the governor of Shangzhou.

Jin Wuwei, who went to Guannei Road to investigate the origin of the Ping family, did not return to Shangzhou until he came to Shangluo, and told Ji Xinxue about it.

Yu Heng squatted beside Ji Xinxue, breaking off Ji Xinxue's fingers one by one, asking Ji Xinxue to let go of Ping, who was avoiding the past and neglecting her children, wiped Ji Xinxue's hands carefully with a handkerchief, and said coldly, "Remove her jaw and stop her from committing suicide."

At daybreak, the old man and the Hun girl who followed Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to Shangluo talked back with a strange smell.

The most important place in the heart of the twins is not only the Ping Mansion next to the Governor's Mansion, but also a small village on the outskirts of Shangluo City.

At the same time, the Jinwu Guards also interrogated the servants of Pingfu overnight. These people didn't even know that Ping was the confidant of the governor of Shangzhou, let alone the location of the Tibetan bank of the governor of Shangzhou.

Ji Xinxue woke up after washing his face with cold water, and asked Jin Wuwei to rush to the Zhuangzi mentioned by the dragon and phoenix before the city gate was unlocked, and immediately controlled everyone on the Zhuangzi, looking for clues about Shangzhou governor Cangyin. Yu Heng arrived shortly thereafter.

After opening the city gate, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng took a carriage to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and snuggled up to each other for a nap.When they arrived at Zhuangzi, the search and interrogation in Zhuangzi was almost over. It is certain that there is no hidden silver in Zhuangzi, and more detailed objects are being searched and more marginalized people are being interrogated.

Given the proficiency of the Jinwu Guard in search and interrogation, it would be useless for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to watch, so they simply seized the time to eat some barbecue and go back to the carriage to catch up on sleep.

As the afternoon approached, Ji Xinxue finally heard Jin Wuwei's conclusion.

There is no hidden silver here, and the servants don't know anything, there is only an exquisite box whose opening method is unknown.

The so-called Linglong box is a small box full of traps, which can only hold letters. If the traps are not opened in a specific order, opened violently or opened in a non-specific order, the letters in the Linglong box will be destroyed.

Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue could only hurry back to Shangluo City, and let the old man and the Hun girl find a way to coax the twins to open the Linglong Box.

While eating dinner, Ji Xinxue was distracted by calculating when Chang'an would send imperial envoys to Shangzhou to make trouble.

Now it has been ten days since he was 'assassinated', and he can be sent from Anye to Chang'an in three days' expedited [-] li. No matter how much Emperor Changping suppressed the news, the courtiers should come to their senses and propose to send an imperial envoy to Shangzhou.

When he set off from Chang'an to Princess Anye's mansion, he deliberately delayed it for a few days because of the auspicious incident, and it took him half a month to arrive in Anye.

If the imperial envoy's team didn't delay on the road, they could get from Chang'an to Anye in at most ten days.

If they are in a hurry to rush day and night, they may be able to travel from Chang'an to Anye in six to eight days.

To be on the safe side, he at least wanted to convict the governor of Shangzhou when the whole Shangzhou was under his control before someone who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend arrived.

The more Ji Xinxue counted, the more anxious she became. She didn't even have the mind to eat, so she frequently looked in the direction of the door.

Yu Heng sighed in his heart, and patiently coaxed Ji Xinxue to eat something, and took Ji Xinxue to sleep in the spare room in Ping Mansion under the pretext of being tired.

If it was in the past, even if there was only the Jinwu Guard with almost no long mouths around, Yu Heng would hesitate to sleep with Ji Xinxue out of respect for Ji Xinxue and the defense of men and women.

Now he doesn't have this trouble. Not only can he urge Ji Xinxue to go to bed without changing his face but red behind his ears, he can also lie in the same bed with Ji Xinxue with a stiff body.

In the middle of the night, Yu Heng endured the distress to wake Ji Xinxue up.

The exquisite box was opened, and inside was a letter left by the governor of Shangzhou to the Ping family. The words were euphemistic to let readers understand the relationship between the governor of Shangzhou and the Ping family and the governor of Shangzhou's love for twins.

There is a treasure map behind the nonsense of the five letter papers, and the location of the treasure is only two hours away from An Ye.

Ji Xinxue grabbed the brocade quilt on his body and took a deep breath. There seemed to be a herd of galloping horses wantonly in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back immediately!"

On the way back to Anye from Shangluo, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng worked harder than when they rushed from Anye to Shangluo. They rode horses for almost six hours a day, and it took only two and a half days to rush back to Anye. He met Princess Xuanwei and his party outside the city who rushed from Chang'an to Anye.

Ji Xinxue was extremely exhausted after several days of traveling, and he no longer had the energy to keep his face. He looked at Princess Xuanwei vigilantly, "Why did you come to Anye?"

How could the imperial court's imperial envoys come so quickly?

Sensing Ji Xinxue's hostility towards her, Princess Xuanwei blinked innocently, "Your Majesty heard that you were assassinated, so let me bring a thousand Jinwu Guards to protect you."

Ji Xinxue's tense face immediately relaxed, and she confirmed, "Only Jin Wuwei, no one else?"

Xuan Wei glanced thoughtfully at Yu Heng who was guarding the horse beside Ji Xinxue, and immediately said, "No!"

Could it be that Princess Anwu was so vigilant because of the enthusiastic girl who grew up and showed her favor to the King of Xianglin County?

strangeness.

Back in Anye, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng don't have to worry about the treasure hunt anymore. They take the time to nourish their tired mind and body. Naturally, Huo Yu and Li Jinhuan lead the Jinwu Guard to go treasure hunting.

On the same day, Huo Yu and Li Jinhuan found the place of the 'treasure', a certain cave dwelling deep in the mountains. Because of the earthquake last month, the cave dwelling was collapsed, and the Jinwu guards were digging the mountain.

From a certain point of view, the thousand Jinwu guards brought by Princess Xuanwei can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

Yu Heng reached out and shook Ji Xinxue's eyes, his eyes were full of worry, "Axue?"

Ji Xinxue held Yu Heng's hand with both hands, and said softly, "If you can still find dirty silver, how about rewarding Jiangnan Governor Ling Chi? Everyone in the seven counties of Shangzhou can draw a knife."

If the dirty silver has disappeared forever in the earthquake, the governor of Shangzhou can only die in private.

Yu Heng patted Ji Xinxue's shoulder with the other hand, and said seriously, "I'll give you my fortune."

The old servant of the Chang'an Princess Mansion told him that in the early years when Buddha and Taoism were not notorious for being "fairies", his mother asked a Taoist priest to give him orders when she was pregnant with him.

The Taoist said that he was born to gather wealth and life, and he would never be short of money for several lifetimes.

His mother happily donated 5 taels of silver to the Taoist temple to pray for him.

After hearing Yu Heng's explanation, Ji Xinxue smiled uglier than crying.

He was afraid that instead of getting Yu Heng's natural fortune-gathering fortune, he would be infected with Yu Heng's wealth-losing disease.

Five days later, Ji Xinxue received the news of the Jinwu Guard's investigation, and the imperial envoy from Chang'an was only three days away from An Ye.

For the past five days, Huo Yu and Li Jinhuan not only dug pits diligently at the location of the treasure map, but also dug pits where there were traces of renovation in the surrounding land, taking into account the factors of earthquakes. Unfortunately, there was no effect at all.

The day before the imperial envoy arrived in Anye, Ji Xinxue had already begun to consider how to get the governor of Shangzhou to get the retribution he deserved without being able to convict him. The box containing the gold bricks was dug up, no accident, it is the "treasure" in the treasure map.

Immediately, Ji Xinxue's headache and annoyance stopped. If the imperial envoy hadn't arrived in Anye tomorrow, Ji Xinxue would have almost gone to the treasure digging site in person.

Everyone in the princess mansion is aware of Ji Xinxue's obsession with dirty silver. Yu Heng sent someone to send a message to Huo Yu who was digging 'treasures', asking Huo Yu to send someone back to Anye every hour to report how much gold he dug. silver.

From the day before yesterday when the Anye city had not yet obtained the key, until noon the next day, a total of nine people including Li Jinhuan returned to Princess Anye's mansion to report, and the amount of gold and silver dug up by each of them would increase when they returned to report.

Ji Xinxue was overjoyed, and deliberately changed into his shirt, which weighed more than ten kilograms, and went to the city gate to meet the imperial envoy in high spirits.

"Princess!" Yan Meng, who was in charge of telling Ji Xinxue the latest news, almost ran to Ji Xinxue's side with afterimages, bent over panting out of breath.

Ji Xinxue's eyes lit up. Thanks to Yu Heng holding his arm in time, he didn't grab Yan Meng's shoulder. "How much? 50 taels or more?"

"Six or fifteen, after converting the gold into silver, there are already 65 taels of silver!" Yan Meng endured the pain in her chest and first told Ji Xinxue the good news, "Princess is overjoyed, Master has found a silver mine in the treasure digging place! "

"Silver mine?" The joy on Ji Xinxue's face paused, and she blinked blankly.

Yan Meng nodded again and again, "The Jinwu Guard who came back to report said that it has been confirmed that it is a silver mine, at least there is a small vein of mine there."

Ji Xinxue was stunned for a while, and after seeing the unbelievable joy on the faces of the people on the left and right, she finally believed that he had heard correctly, and gave a loud 'ow' and hugged Yu Heng.

It's really the God of Wealth Yu!

I hope God of Wealth Yu will maintain his supernatural power, and bless Huo Yu that the silver mine he dug is the big silver mine he has been thinking about!
