Chapter 126 Don’t Let Anyone Steal Your House
After they left, the stall owner put away the shoes and continued to sit and wait for people to come.
After a while, a man who looked like a scholar came over, held her hand and asked, "How are you today? Are you feeling unwell?"
The stall owner smiled and shook his head, "No, I just sold a pair of shoes."
"Well, Yan'er is very capable." The scholar smiled and helped her sit down again.
"Yan'er, please stay at home and take good care of your baby. Don't go out again. I get worried when I can't find you."
The stall owner smiled but didn't respond. Just then two customers came, and she immediately stood up.
Yuanman took Yuanbao to stroll along the street before returning to the inn. Yuan Er and Yuan San, who were in the dark, were both wearing a lot of things, and they really gained a lot.
Before returning to the inn, Yuanman saw the stall owner selling tiger-head shoes. Her temperament was completely different from before, and she looked more charming.
She was followed by a thin scholar, and the two of them talked and laughed as they entered the alley next to the inn.
This reminded her of the needle prick on her index finger.
"Yuan Si, follow and take a look." Yuan Man said and then went into the inn.
Yuan Xi saw her coming back and stepped forward to greet her, "Master, not long after you left, Lord Gu brought in a lot of boxes, and I put them in the warehouse."
Yuan Man nodded, "Watch out, that's boxes of silver, don't let anyone steal it."
Yuan Xi's expression immediately straightened up, "Yes, I will definitely take good care of it."
"But Master, why would Lord Gu leave the silver in our inn, where people come and go?"
"It's safer when there are people coming and going, so no one would think of being here." Yuan Man said and walked towards the backyard.
An hour later, Yuan Si came back.
"Master, that woman wanted to kill that man, but was stopped by my subordinates. She is now tied up in the shabby house at the end of the alley."
Yuan Man frowned, "Tell Ling Kong the news and let him take over."
Whether the murderer is that woman remains to be confirmed.
[Ding, next check-in point, Mengcheng. ]
Yuan Man immediately took out the map and looked at it, and found that Mengcheng was not far from them and could be reached back and forth in one day.
In order to avoid losing points, she planned to go there in person.
If it is far away, she will naturally choose to sign in at the map.
At dinner time, Gu Chen came back and gave the confirmed list to Yuan Man.
Yuan took it and looked at it, then asked Yuan Si to send it to Qinghan Academy and give it to Cen Shuying.
Gu Cheng went out again after dinner.
By the time of Xu, Hui Chengyuan and others had not returned yet, and Yuanman frowned.
"Yuan Yi, go check it out."
Yuan Yi took Yuan Er away from the inn.
When they arrived at the village, they saw that it had been burned beyond recognition, and Hui Chengyuan and others were standing on the wasteland outside.
"Your Highness, what happened? Are you injured?" Yuan Yi asked.
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Nothing happened, someone plotted against me."
"It seems that the other party is very concerned about what is under the stone slab."
If the secret guards he brought with him had not discovered the abnormality and brought them out last night, they would have also died in this sea of fire.
He thought of all the things they would do in their rebellion, but he never thought that they would burn down the village.
Lou Yang was also being watched, and he didn't do anything, but who set the fire?
There were secret guards watching around and someone secretly set a fire, so Hui Chengyuan was naturally not in a good mood.
Ling Feng had already investigated and found that most of the people in the village were buried in the sea of fire, with only a few survivors.
I have been cleaning up things on the farm all day today, so I haven't started digging yet.
"Your Highness, let's go to Qingfang City tonight and rest for a night."
Hui Chengyuan shook his head and said, "We are fine. The other party will definitely make further moves." He glanced somewhere.
"Ling Yang, arrange for people to dig overnight. I want to see what's underneath." Ling Yang had already found the people last night, but he let them go back first because of the fire.
The more you are forbidden to dig, the more deadly the things underneath are.
After hearing this, Ling Yang immediately ran out to call people.
As soon as Ling Yang left, a rain of arrows attacked.
Won-il stood in front of Hye Seung-won and swung his sword to block the incoming arrows.
Hui Chengyuan blocked the attack from the other side, and the secret guards hiding in the dark also jumped out.
But after a while, the rain of arrows subsided, and the people who were hiding in the dark and shooting arrows were thrown out one by one.
Yuan Yi knew it was Yuan Er who did it as soon as he saw it.
Yuan Yi lifted a person's mask and searched their bodies, but found nothing.
Sixteen people, none of them had any identification on them.
Hui Chengyuan looked around and there was no place to hide nearby. Where did they come from?
"Where's Lou Yang?"
Yuan Yi naturally didn't know that Ling Yang had left again, but the secret guards were always concerned about his safety.
Finally, a secret guard said, "I rescued him."
So, Lou Yang took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
Hui Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Go and find the person."
He definitely cannot escape suspicion for this fire.
The secret guard took the order and left.
Not long after, Ling Yang came back with his men and started digging the ground all night long. The people in the dark gnashed their teeth, but could do nothing about it.
At the end of the hour of Hai, Hui Chengyuan looked at the box dug out in front of him and sneered.
Now we have dug nearly three acres of land, and all we have dug out are weapons, including swords, spears and long spears.
If all the weapons hidden in these three hundred acres of land are weapons, they cannot be produced by just one iron mine.
Private mining of gold, silver, iron and salt mines is prohibited.
With so many weapons, no matter whether they were hidden by the Lou family or hidden for Prince Gong, the death penalty is not excessive now.
"Ling Yang, take these weapons and return to Xizhou, then hold a government office to re-examine the Lou family."
"Ling Feng, stay and watch over this place. Don't let anyone get close."
"Lingkong, I'll give you the Crown Prince's Golden Order. Go to Chicheng and ask the Xizhou Jiedushi to call for two thousand soldiers and horses."
Lingkong took the prince's golden order, bowed and left.
The governor of Xizhou was not a member of the Lou family and had no connection with the Lou family. After investigation, it was found that he was not involved in the matter, so they did not touch him.
But the Lou family has so many weapons hidden away, and as the governor, it is impossible for him not to know about it.
Hui Chengyuan wanted to mobilize troops, firstly because of the Lou family, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen during the retrial of the Lou family.
The second reason is because I want to know the attitude of the governor.
Before dawn, the group returned to Xizhou City.
Hui Chengyuan did not return to the inn, but went directly to the government office. He did not rush to bring the Lou family out for re-interrogation.
Instead, he waited until Lingkong returned with two thousand soldiers before bringing back several key members of the Lou family.
When Lou Wei saw those boxes, he knew that the Lou family was really finished. Originally they were just exiled, but now the whole family might be killed.
He glanced at the soldiers surrounding the yamen, wondering what was there that he didn't understand.
He lowered his head and listened to Ling Kong listing out his crimes and the crimes of the Lou family.
After Yuan Man got up and listened to Yuan Er's report, he did not go to the government office but went to Qinghan Academy.
She wanted to see who was taking the exam and to give Cen Shuying some advice.
Yuan Man went in secretly this time and stood in the dark watching the students.
The students have all sat down, but the examiner has not arrived yet.
Yuan Man looked around and looked at the person sitting at the back. After looking around again, he retracted his gaze and walked into the academy.
