Feng Province, which had been shrouded in darkness for a long time, finally saw the light of dawn today.
The reason was that the Eldest Prince and a group of supervising censors would leave Feng Province today.
The actions of these people in Feng Province had a great impact on the people of Feng Province. Even a three-year-old child knew that the First Prince was not a good person. The words "Supervising Censor" were enough to stop children from crying at night.
Of course, these people, including the Eldest Prince, had now become a joke in Feng Province.
One hundred personal guards made a fool of themselves in front of so many people. Early that morning, another censor with the surname Yang was sent back from Bing Province. He had been kidnapped by a group of robbers. Perhaps they were worried that the officials of the capital would be involved and the matter would be blown out of proportion, so they didn't make things difficult for him.
Some insiders said that when the censor was sent back, other than becoming a bit deranged, there was nothing wrong with him.
After the Eldest Prince and his entourage were sent out of the city gate, the entire Feng Province ushered in a carnival.
The night market, which had not been opened for a long time, was opened early when the sky had just darkened. Feng Province was brightly lit, and every family was in a jubilant mood.
Lin Yong looked at the lights coming from the small courtyard next to Fanglin Garden. He walked through the courtyard and knocked on the door, saying, "Miss, the shopkeepers of the Ma, Xu, and Bai families have been standing in front of the Lin family's door for a day and a night. Old Master asked me to ask you if you want to see them."
"It's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." After a long time, a voice came from the room again.
"Tomorrow …" Lin Yong nodded and looked up at the sky. There were no stars, so he shook his head and said, "Look at the weather, it might rain tonight. They are standing there in the cold. I don't know … where the Li Brothers have gone to?"
In a small county town dozens of miles away from Feng Province.
In the relay station, Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Yi and said in a deep voice, "I was framed."
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I know."
"They kidnapped Yang Cong. He has the token of Prince Heng's Mansion," Zhao Zheng said again.
Zhao Yi nodded again and said, "I know."
"It's useless even if I know." He turned his head to look at Zhao Zheng and said, "In the end, the matter of discussing the Silver of Guilt was caused by Imperial Brother, and … Imperial Father does not know."
Zhao Yi sighed and said, "When you return to the capital this time, I'm afraid you have to make preparations."
Zhao Zheng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. He couldn't understand how he, the grand Crown Prince of the Qi Kingdom, had ended up in such a predicament when he had the upper hand.
Who was that master who didn't leave his name?
Neither the Eldest Prince of the Qi Kingdom nor the Eldest Prince of the Jing Kingdom could figure it out.
The King of Shu's eyes were bloodshot as he smashed an inkstone on the table. The inkstone struck the forehead of a guard who was kneeling below. Blood immediately gushed out, but the guard did not dare to wipe it with his hands.
"Trash, all of you are trash. It's already been three days, and not a single clue has been found!"
The County Magistrate of Yong County stood in the corner. Beside him, Jiang Zian lowered his head and said nothing.
Three days ago, the treasury of the King of Shu's mansion was ransacked by a group of bandits. They dug a secret tunnel from the outside all the way into the treasury. It was not discovered until the next day. At that time, the treasury was already empty. All the gold and silver treasures had been stolen. Not even a copper coin was left for the King of Shu.
In other words, the King of Shu was probably the poorest prince in the Jing Kingdom now.
If it wasn't for his identity, he would be worrying about what to eat for his next meal.
In the past three days, the King of Shu had lost count of how many times he had lost his temper. However, three days had passed, and the entire Shuzhou had not been able to find out who the culprit was …
Jiang Zian could understand the King of Shu. If the small box he had hidden under his bed had been stolen, he might have been even more furious than the King of Shu.
After all, the entire Shuzhou was the King of Shu's fief. He could easily plunder it a few times and obtain countless taels of silver. Jiang Zian's private savings were accumulated little by little …
"Get out, all of you get out of here. If you can't get it back, don't come back to see me!"
The King of Shu overturned a few tables and chairs. Seeing this, the crowd immediately retreated.
Walking out of the mansion, Jiang Zian looked at the County Magistrate of Yong County and said, "Fang Yong and the others left three days ago. Could it be …"
The County Magistrate shook his head and said, "Impossible. Given his relationship with Her Highness, how could he do such a thing?"
Jiang Zian nodded and simply kept his mouth shut.
The man named Fang Yong obviously had an unusual relationship with Her Highness. Every time they talked, he would drive them away. These things were not something they could handle.
In addition, there was another thing that made him feel a myriad of emotions in his heart. In fact, he could no longer describe the specific feelings.
That person was finally coming back …
Jiang Zian sighed and looked in the direction of the city gate with an indescribable expression.
After leaving Shuzhou and going south for another 100 miles, it was the chaotic place that people avoided. There were countless mountain bandits and bandits in the mountains. They often went down the mountains to loot caravans and disturb people's lives. Because of its special geographical location, both the Jing Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards this place, which directly made the bandits there more rampant.
Every night, if you looked down from the highest peak, you would find that the mountains were lit up with many lights, which showed that there were many bandits in the mountains.
At this moment, a voice rang out from one of the thatched cottages on one of the mountains that was lit up with a faint light.
"Big brother, they outnumber us. Why don't we run away?"
"The way down the mountain has been blocked by them. How can we run away?"
"Tomorrow morning, we will fight to the death with them. At that time, we brothers will fight to the death for Big Brother. Big Brother just needs to escape and go back to live a good life with sister-in-law. Big Brother, please take care of our family!"
"What are you talking about? I brought you out. How can I run away alone?"
… …
… …
Inside the thatched cottage, the candlelight was weak and swaying, but the inside of the cottage was not dark. Perhaps it was because there was a shiny bald head that reflected the light in all directions.
Several bandits stepped forward and tried to persuade him, "Big brother …"
"All of you, stop talking!" The bald bandit waved his hand and said, "Since you've embarked on this path, this day will come sooner or later. Tomorrow, find an opportunity and run away if you can. Staying alive is more important than anything else!"
He looked at the endless swaying shadows of trees outside the window and sighed in his heart.
He had thought that with his hot blood, he and his brothers could make a name for themselves here. He didn't expect that after only two months, they would be forced into a dead end.
In this place where the strong preyed on the weak, the weak would either die or be swallowed up by the stronger ones. Two months ago, they had just dispersed a small bandit group here, but they didn't expect that two months later, they would make a comeback, and there were already dozens of them.
The few of them would never be able to defeat them.
Now that their only escape route down the mountain had been blocked, it was impossible to escape. They could only fight with all their might.
The bald bandit collected his thoughts and turned to look at the crowd. He said, "If anyone escapes tomorrow, remember to help me pass a message to my tigress …"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the thatched cottage was kicked open.
A figure that was as sturdy as the bald bandit blocked the door. A middle-aged woman dressed in coarse clothes stood there, looking at him and saying coldly, "If you have anything to say, say it to me personally now!"
The woman's appearance was ordinary, but her figure was extremely sturdy. However, the most eye-catching thing was not her sturdy figure, but the two mountain-splitting hammers in her hands, and her head that was also shiny without a single strand of hair …
Especially after she walked into the thatched cottage, the entire room seemed to have become much brighter.
"Why are you here!"
The bald man was stunned, his face revealing a look of disbelief as he blurted out loudly.
After speaking, he seemed to realize something and subconsciously retracted his head. His voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "Why are you here …"
