Shi Sheng was confused. Why did the original owner have such an identity??
"When was the Southern True Gu Sect destroyed?"
Yan Qiu thought for a moment. "Thirteen years ago."
Thirteen years ago, the original owner was seven years old. That was when she entered the Seventh Prince's residence.
The timing was right.
"They won't hurt you for the time being, but I can't give you a definite answer about whether your wound will heal." Yan Qiu frowned and comforted her instinctively. "Don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate."
Shi Sheng nodded thoughtfully. She casually smoothed out her clothes before turning back with a smile on her face. "Your Highness, shouldn't you be responsible for me?"
Yan Qiu blushed and looked at Shi Sheng calmly. "I'll be responsible. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
He had seen her body. That was an indisputable fact.
Moreover, he didn't hate her.
He even wanted to be close to her sometimes.
He had lived a careful life for more than twenty years. He wanted to indulge himself and follow his heart.
"Very good."
Yan Qiu: "…"
Her reaction … What did it mean? Just two words? Why did he feel like he had suffered a huge loss?
… …
Shi Sheng hadn't seen Yan Qiu for a few days. Xuanchen wasn't around either. Yan Qiu had asked him to take care of his Big Dipper before she disappeared.
Shi Sheng couldn't understand what Yan Qiu liked about the Big Dipper.
It wasn't good-looking or cute. It couldn't speak and only knew how to eat. It was ferocious …
Ferocious?
F * ck, did that idiot like the ferocious Big Dipper?
Shi Sheng looked at the huge creature floating on the lake. That seemed to be the only explanation.
After feeding the Big Dipper, Shi Sheng climbed over the wall and walked around the streets before entering a teahouse.
"Miss, you're here." The waiter of the teahouse immediately came forward. "We've found some clues. We were just about to contact you when you came."
The waiter brought Shi Sheng upstairs and handed a large brocade pouch to Shi Sheng. "The information you wanted is inside. Take your time."
The waiter left the room. "Call me if you need anything."
Shi Sheng nodded slightly and waited for him to close the door before opening the brocade pouch.
There were a lot of letters inside, and they were all filled with words.
There were two things that Shi Sheng wanted them to investigate. The first was Dragonmist City, and the second was Yan Qiu.
There was not much information about the Long Mist City. They only knew that the background of the master of this Long Mist City was very big. Inside, not only did they do business that could not be described, there were also many things that were related to the government.
For example, buying and selling official positions …
Since they dared to do such a thing, it meant that there were people in the royal court, and their status was not low either.
Every year, Jade Mist City had two grand peonies. One was at the end of spring, and the other was at the end of autumn.
The second thing was about Yanqiu.
Yan Qiu was the son of the current Empress. This Empress was also a ruthless character with a strong background. Even the Emperor had to be wary of her.
But in recent years, the descendants of the Empress's family were not doing well and were gradually declining. The Empress's health seemed to have problems. She worshipped Buddha all day and no longer cared about the affairs of the imperial harem.
Yan Qiu was the son of the Empress. Although he was not the eldest son, he was the son of the first wife. It was reasonable for him to be crowned as the Crown Prince.
At the very beginning, there were still many people who supported Yan Qiu. But as Yan Qiu caused trouble and offended the ministers of the imperial court, many ministers began to change sides.
Not only did Yan Qiu not restrain himself, he offended people even more unscrupulously, angering several ministers in the imperial court to retire and return to their hometowns.
Even if Yan Qiu was so absurd, the Emperor still doted on him and gave him whatever he wanted.
On the surface, it could be seen that the Emperor doted on him a lot. But the ministers who had more complicated thoughts all secretly guessed that the Emperor was not doting on him, but rather trying to kill him.
And Yan Qiu … obviously also understood this point.
He was pushed to the cusp of the storm. If he did not move forward, there was no way out.
Shi Sheng put away the things and paid the waiter the rest of the money. He immediately became a pauper again.
So damn poor!
Shi Sheng decided to rob a wave of bandits. Getting rid of evil for the people was everyone's responsibility.
"Which bandit nest near us has the most money?"
The waiter looked at Shi Sheng who had left and returned. After a while, he said, "Miss, why are you asking this?"
Shi Sheng said with a straight face, "I'm planning to be a hero."
The waiter's mouth twitched. "There's a Fushan Stronghold a hundred miles away. The bandits there are very fierce. They even dare to rob the army's pay and provisions. We've sent troops several times, but they haven't succeeded. Consider this information a gift to you, Miss. I won't charge you for it."
This kind of information could be easily found out. If he took money, it would be difficult to do business in the future.
"Miss, please don't take it too hard," the waiter reminded her.
"I'm short of money."
The waiter: "…" Rob bandits if you're short of money?
What a bold idea.
Under the waiter's gaze, Shi Sheng left valiantly and proudly.
…
Bandit nests were usually easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fushan Stronghold was no exception.
The mountain roads were guarded by bandits. They would be discovered as soon as they approached. But this was not a problem for Shi Sheng. After all, she was going to fight head-on!
She killed her way up Fushan. The bandits were indeed very rich, but most of the gold and silver bars were marked. They were not easy to use.
Therefore, Shi Sheng only asked for their banknotes.
As for the rest, she told them to carry it to the yamen's entrance.
When she was in a good mood, she could also be a prostitute.
A group of bandits suddenly appeared at the yamen, carrying so many things. It immediately caused a commotion. These were the Fushan Stronghold's bandits who killed without batting an eyelid. They were not local ruffians.
The bandits were also on the verge of breaking down. They had never thought that there would be a day when they would turn themselves in at the yamen.
A young lady sat cross-legged on a box of gold bars. The dark patterns on her black brocade robe were faintly visible under the sunlight. It set off the young lady's valiant appearance and extraordinary handsomeness.
The yamen's soldiers rushed out and surrounded them.
One of them, who was wearing an official's robe, immediately looked at Shi Sheng. The bandits were all squatting, but this young lady was the only one who was sitting. Her aura was not something an ordinary bandit could compare to.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Shi Sheng jumped down from the box. "I saw injustice on the road. I drew my sword to help."
"Pfft. Sir, she came to rob us. Now she's even bringing us to the yamen. Sir, she's guilty too. She must be arrested."
"She's also a bandit."
"Bandits, arrest her."
The yamen official: "???"
Shi Sheng spread his hands indifferently. "I took some banknotes from them as payment. Sir, you won't mind, right?"
The yamen official: "???" What did he mean by taking banknotes as payment?
"Sir, you've done a great service." Shi Sheng walked out. "So don't fuss over small things. Just pretend you never saw me."
The yamen official: "???"
The yamen official was dumbfounded. He only regained his senses when Shi Sheng disappeared. He looked at the boxes all over the ground and the bandits who were shouting loudly.
"What's all this noise? Throw them in jail," the yamen official shouted angrily.
He looked up in the direction Shi Sheng had left. He had mixed feelings. Was he a good person or a bad person?
Robbing other bandits and kidnapping them to the yamen. These bandits were really pitiful.
Of course, he would not sympathize with them. They had been a scourge on the common people for so long. They had finally pulled out this malignant tumor.
