The night got deeper, and the upper room of the inn was quiet, with only the sound of candlelight dancing in the air.

"Ziba Zhiba..."

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, raised her eyes and ordered: "Xiao Ying, you go back first." This means that Xiao Ying's undercover mission is not over yet.

"Yes, Crown Princess." Xiao Ying curled her lips and walked away in a hurry, barely even starting to hum. This errand was enough to keep him entertained for several days!

Looking at his brisk back, Baihui shook her head speechlessly, and for a moment she felt sympathy for Xiao An.

As soon as Xiao Ying left, Zhou Dacheng, whose hair was still a little messy, heard the sound and came over. Baihui told Zhou Dacheng one by one what Xiao Ying had just reported, making him frown.

"Young Master..." Zhou Dacheng hesitated, wanting to persuade Nangong Yue to leave. Although there are still a hundred elite soldiers stationed outside the town, they are still not comprehensive enough. Why not let him take some people to stay and investigate slowly...

Nangong Yue saw Zhou Dacheng's hesitation and said: "Zhou Dacheng, go to the mine in person tomorrow and urge Manager Deng!" Now that he has some clues, it would be a pity to back out. !

She believes that once there is a rush, such a large amount of iron ore will definitely make Deng Deng and others confused, and they will naturally take more actions...

Zhou Dacheng also understood Nangong Yue’s deep meaning. If it wasn’t for the prince, why would the prince’s concubine put herself in danger?

Zhou Dacheng was filled with emotion and respectfully accepted the order with clasped fists: "Yes, Young Master."

"Xiao An!"

Nangong Yue called softly, and the next moment, Xiao An opened the door from outside and came in, still as elusive as ever.

"Young Master." Xiao An expressionlessly clasped his fists and stood ready.

Nangong Yue ordered without hesitation: "Xiao An, go to the mine and keep an eye on it for now. If there is any movement, come and report it immediately."

After Xiao Anxi responded with a word like gold, he and Zhou Dacheng retreated.

After the candle in the room was blown out, it was never lit again until dawn...

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Nangong Yue came down from the second floor of the inn, yawning lazily.

Wang Xiancheng has been waiting below for more than an hour, feeling irritable but not daring to complain. There are still four days left. When all the iron ore is delivered to the Fang family mine, the Second Young Master Xiao will naturally leave.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate felt hopeful. After greeting everyone in front of him diligently, he took Nangong Yue and his party to the county government office, and then to the most expensive restaurant in the town, the most famous scenic spot, and the most effective place. The temple...

But this is really a small place. In a short while, most of the town has been visited. Almost everyone in the town knows that a noble person has come to the town, and even the county magistrate Wang has to bow down to entertain him.

When I came out after listening to the music in a teahouse, the sky was already dim and the sun had mostly set.

Bai Hui quietly whispered in Nangong Yue’s ear with her supporting gesture: “Sir, someone has been following us quietly for the whole day since Yunlai Restaurant...” Now the two of them have been following us quietly. None of the secret guards were around, and Zhou Dacheng had also gone to the mine. Now the Crown Princess was relying on her and Lily, so Baihui was cautiously alert.

The corners of Nangong Yue’s lips curled up slightly. It would be best if someone followed her. If someone followed, it meant that Manager Deng was guilty and impatient. He would definitely take action!

"Master Wang!" Nangong Yue got on her horse and complained angrily, "Your town is too small, there is nothing interesting! It's also a remote place... Forget it, I'd better go back to the inn. Got it!"

While apologizing repeatedly, Wang Xiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This second young master Xiao was indeed very energetic. He had broken both of his legs, but the other party was not tired at all...

So everyone headed back home. When they returned to the inn, the sky was completely dark, and Wang Xiancheng, who had been with them all day, left with a tired look on his face.

After Nangong Yue returned to the room, she relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief. After playing all day, she was not tired, but in order to make Deng Guanshi and others take it lightly, she still had to perform the whole play.

This day is calm on the surface, but underneath it is a turbulent situation...

In the middle of the night, Xiao An came back after a long journey and sent a secret letter.

"Sir, after Zhou Dacheng went to the mine today, Manager Deng immediately sent his subordinates to deliver this secret letter, and the subordinates secretly exchanged it."

Xiao An said it in an understatement, but Nangong Yue could imagine that it would not be easy to exchange the secret message quietly.

Nangong Yue opened the letter carefully, trying not to damage the outer envelope. When she took out the letter paper inside and unfolded it, she couldn't help but frown. The letter paper was densely written, but it was not Dayu's words. It seems to be Baiyue’s writing!

"Xiao Ying, do you recognize it?"

She asked Baihui to return the letter to Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying glanced at it, a rare look of surprise appeared on his expressionless handsome face, and then reported: "Yes, sir, I recognize this, this is Baiyue." "The text." As he spoke, he repeated it and said, "...to His Highness the Sixth, we are your loyal servants, and we have been ordered by His Highness to stay at a mine in southern Xinjiang..."

The letter still didn't mention what kind of mine it was, but it just mentioned that this mine would be of great help to the Baiyang Prince Kui Lang's recovery. Now that Kui Lang was far away in the royal capital and no one was in charge of the overall situation, he could only ask the sixth prince for help, hoping that the sixth prince could find a way to get 200 stones of iron ore as soon as possible. There was also a token attached to the letter. On the token was the head of a ferocious black wolf, which was obviously used to prove his identity. !

A few words made the atmosphere in the room tremble, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees!

She still remembered what Sun Xinyi said that a man with a Baiyue accent once appeared in the Fang family and colluded with someone from the Fang family to try to seize the mine in Sigelai Mountain.

Obviously, that person succeeded.

They have successfully held the mine in Sigelai Mountain for more than ten years and quietly mined some kind of ore...

Even because Sigelai Mountain is in southern Xinjiang, they have been using the Fang family as a sign to hide their identity for more than ten years. Now, both the county magistrate and the people in this town regard this mine as The property is deemed to be owned by the Fang family.

Given Kui Lang's age, he should not be the mastermind of what happened back then, but now the mine is definitely in his hands.

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. The harvest from this trip has exceeded her imagination.

Kui Lang is holding hostage in the royal capital, and Guan Yubai came to southern Xinjiang in the name of his restoration... Since this matter has involved Baiyue and Kui Lang, then if she does it on her own , if something goes wrong and affects A Yi and the others' layout, it will be bad.

Thinking about it, I still have to tell A Yi as soon as possible and let him decide how to deal with it.

It’s just that Ayi should be in Nanliang now, and I can’t contact him for a while, so the only thing I can do is...

A sharp and harsh **** crow suddenly sounded from the window, interrupting Nangong Yue's thoughts. Before she knew it, it was dawn.

Before the **** crow stopped, a loud eagle cry sounded out, unwilling to be outdone, as if to show off its inviolable majesty as the king of birds. In an instant, the **** crow outside suddenly stopped, and everyone in the room was silent. Quietly.

"Pfft..."

Lily couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and even Nangong Yue and Baihui couldn't help laughing.

This little gray!

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Lily, open the window and let Xiao Hui in. Baihui, wait for me with pen and ink!"

After the two maids responded, Lily couldn't wait to open the window. Xiao Hui, who had just had enough fun, was parked on the branch outside the window, lowering his head and pecking at the gray feathers under his right wing.

Hearing the sound of the window opening, it looked at the sound and stared at Lily without blinking. It wasn't until Lily waved to it diligently that it reluctantly flapped its wings and passed by, looking as if it was arrogant. I am saying, since you mortals invite me so respectfully, then I will give you some face.

Xiao Hui spread his wings and glided neatly through the window into the house. After walking around the narrow room for a short while, he casually stopped on a high table. At this time, Baihui, who was sitting in front of the desk, was writing. Ji Shu was written in one go according to Nangong Yue's dictation until the writing was finished.

After Baihui carefully dried the ink on the silk paper, she handed the full silk paper to Nangong Yue for inspection.

After Nangong Yue nodded, Baihui folded the silk paper and put it into a small bamboo tube. Then she knocked off a small piece from the ore Xiao Ying brought and put it in, sealing it with wax. .

Following that, three scorching eyes looked at Xiao Hui, making Xiao Hui tilt his head in confusion.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile, walked up to Xiao Hui, and gently touched the gray feather on its neck.

Fortunately, Xiao Hui likes to go to Han Yu. Wherever Han Yu is, Guan Yubai will be there.

This matter involves too much. In the overall situation, she may not be able to consider everything. There are some aspects that she cannot consider. It is better to leave it to Guan Yubai to weigh... A Yi also said before leaving, if there is any difficulty You can tell Guan Yubai about it. Guan Yubai has a way to contact him.

The important task of delivering the letter will be left to Xiao Hui.

Lily smiled and fed Xiao Hui two pieces of dried meat, while jokingly saying: "Our Xiao Hui is really capable!" She didn't think that letting the eagle deliver the letter was overkill. The eagle delivered the letter more thoughtfully than the homing pigeon. There were so many, Xiao Hui caught two of Nanliang’s carrier pigeons!

Nangong Yue personally tied the small bamboo tube to Xiao Hui's eagle talons, then gently patted its eagle head and said: "Xiao Hui, go find Han Yu."

Of course Xiao Hui understood his and Han Yu’s names. He rubbed them against Nangong Yue’s palm, then flapped his wings twice and flew out of the window with a whoosh...

With just a few easy flutters of its wings, it flew higher and higher, farther and farther, turning into a gray shadow in the morning glow...

Nangong Yue withdrew her gaze, turned around and ordered again: "Xiao An, please return this letter intact, and then help me deliver a few words to Xiao Ying..."

The rising sun faintly revealed a blush in the eastern sky, which gradually spread to the surrounding areas. The eastern sky was dark red, as color as blood. However, as the sky became brighter, the red color gradually faded away. Not so dazzling anymore...

The dawn will eventually come, and all the darkness and evil buried in the dark past will eventually be revealed!

For this small town, this day is destined to be an uneventful day.

Before noon, I saw a ragged young man riding a brown horse and rushing madly in the direction of the government office. Behind him, there were three tall and strong men on horseback chasing after him. The leader was Mr. Hu. He even raised his whip and whipped the horse's belly, shouting angrily: "You bastard, stop for me! How dare you become a runaway slave?! I must kill you!"

The young man's equestrian skills were obviously very unfamiliar. He staggered awkwardly on the horse and just blindly held on to the brown horse. The brown horse made an uneasy neighing sound, its hooves galloped, and it ran faster.

Tap tap tap...

Soon, the county government office was just a few feet away.

Xiao Ying narrowed his eyes and rode his horse to the gate of the county government office. The face of a government servant guarding the gate changed and he shouted: "You are so bold and unruly, you dare to ride your horse at the gate of the government office!"

"The common people have a grievance!" Xiao Ying fell off his horse in embarrassment, then staggered forward, grabbed the mallet next to the Denwen drum and started beating it hard, shouting, "The common people have a grievance! The common people want to sue the mine for indiscriminate killing of hard workers!"

At the same time as the drums sounded, Mr. Hu and the others also arrived, and they got off their horses neatly. Mr. Hu's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. Unexpectedly, he had been traveling in the world for many years, and his boat capsized in the sewer, allowing this newcomer to escape. .

The rumbling drums attracted the attention of many passers-by, who came from all directions to watch the excitement.

Master Hu had no intention of arguing with the passers-by. He grabbed his riding crop and stepped forward: "This is an escaped slave from the Fang family mine. He signed a death contract. I want to take him away. Who dares to stop him?!"

Xiao Ying continued to beat the Denwen drum and shouted: "Although the grassroots and the miners in the mine have signed a death contract, they are still human lives anyway. How can they be allowed to treat human lives with such indifference!"

The yamen servants were in a bit of a dilemma. Logically speaking, the government had nothing to do with Mr. Hu and his companions catching fugitive slaves. However, the fugitive slaves all fled to the gate of the yamen and even beat the Dengwen drum. According to the law, the Dengwen drum sounded. , the county magistrate must go to court to try the case.

The yamen officer quickly stopped Master Hu, and someone else hurriedly went to report it.

Magistrate Chen of this county had just returned from inspecting the flood defense in Ling Town. Only then did he learn from Wang County Cheng that the prince’s second son was in the town. Before he had time to visit, he got the news and couldn’t help but talk to Wang County. The prime minister looked at each other.

Although he didn't want to offend the Fang family, things happened right before his eyes, and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to!

Magistrate Chen gritted his teeth and said: "Trial! It must be tried!"

Amidst the shouts of the yamen servants, the door of the yamen opened wide, County Magistrate Chen sat in the hall, and Xiao Ying was brought to the hall as the sufferer.

"Pa——"

When the gavel was struck, Master Hu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly ordered his men to find Manager Deng. This is not a good time!

With tears and runny noses, Xiao Ying cried in the hall, complaining that the Fang family mine was killing miners wantonly with sticks. He also sworely listed the countless "missing" miners and asked the adults to make the decision for poor people like them: "Sir, common people Although the contract is a death contract, according to Dayu's law, the master cannot kill slaves at will! People are killed in this mine from time to time. Please make the decision for the common people and those who died unjustly. !"

County Magistrate Chen’s expression turned stern. As a county magistrate, of course he knew Dayu’s laws. According to Dayu’s laws, even if a slave is guilty, his master will kill him with a stick at will and punish him with a hundred sticks; if he is beaten without reason, If you kill a slave, you will be punished by being exiled for three thousand miles; if you accidentally kill a slave, you will not be punished.

However, although the law stipulates this, killing a slave is generally a crime of neglect.

However, if someone comes to sue, we must investigate!

The corners of Mr. Hu's mouth and eyes twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Bad boy, what are you talking about?!" He was used to being arrogant and domineering, but his true colors were revealed accidentally.

"Bang!"

Magistrate Chen slapped the alarm tree again and said with a stern voice: "You are so bold and unruly, how dare you shout in the court! Why don't you kneel down before me!"

"Mighty!" The government officials on both sides made threatening voices, and Mr. Hu had no choice but to walk into the lobby and kneel beside Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying secretly laughed in his heart. This mission was so fun!

……

When Master Hu's men hurried back to the Sigelai Mountain Mine, half an hour had passed.

After Manager Deng learned about this, his face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears. He secretly complained that Mr. Hu had been so careless in the past two years that he had been too careless in doing things. He was so careless that people ran away and even Ran to the county government office!

This is great, this matter is probably going to be a big deal!

Guanshi Deng has been in this mine for many years, so he is naturally considered a local snake. However, the county magistrate changes every three years. Now County Magistrate Chen has been in office for less than a year, and he has only dealt with him a few times. I feel that this person's way of being an official is very moderate. Normally, the two sides are not in conflict with each other, but since someone has beaten the Wen Deng drum, I am afraid they will still be in charge.

At least someone will be sent to verify it!

Thinking of this, Manager Deng's heart sank. He first ordered his subordinates to make some "preparations" quickly, and then he hurried to the town, but the place he wanted to go was not the county government office, but the inn!

Since Second Young Master Xiao is eager to achieve military success with this batch of iron ore, it is time to let him contribute some effort to himself.

So, after half an hour, Manager Deng was welcomed into Nangong Yue’s room by Zhou Dacheng. What happened in the county government office had long been reported to Nangong Yue by the guards, and she must have known why Manager Deng was here. But he pretended not to know, and as soon as they met, he urged: "Manager Deng, you are so anxious to see me, have you prepared the iron ore in advance?"

Manager Deng's expression froze for a moment, and he could only hold back his temper and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, how can two hundred stones of iron ore be obtained so quickly, but I will definitely gather all the iron ore as soon as possible..." As he said, He said awkwardly, "Second Young Master, I came here to ask for something..."

He told the story of the escaped slaves concisely, and then said: "Second Young Master, you also know that our mine is owned by 'Fang'. How could the Fang family torture and kill the miners! It is really difficult to control slaves. ! Hey..." He sighed deliberately, "Although I say that I am not afraid of the shadow, but if the government investigates, the mine will not be able to start work for a while, and the second master's 200 stone iron mine..."

He hesitated to speak, hoping in his heart that this handsome young man would take the initiative to answer his words and solve this big trouble with the government for him!

Unfortunately, he was disappointed again. This second young master Xiao usually spoke and acted very casually, but at the critical moment he became shrewd.

"Steward Deng," Nangong Yue looked at Steward Deng with a half-smile, and put away the paper fan in her hand, "You want to ask me to help you with something, is this what you are asking for?"

Guanshi Deng’s face almost tensed up. Didn’t he already give him a box of valuable Nanzhu? This Second Young Master Xiao is still not satisfied?

But for the secret of the mine, for Baiyue... Steward Deng gritted his teeth and cautiously probed: "The second young master wants to..."

Nangong Yue curled her lips, shook her head and looked at him with a sigh, seemingly a little disappointed, and said: "Manager Deng, now the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army are throwing their lives and blood at the front to protect their homes and the country. As a Southern Xinjiang soldier, People, why don’t you know how to contribute to the Southern Xinjiang Army?!”

A lot of effort... Manager Deng’s mouth twitched and he understood instantly.

This Second Young Master Xiao wants to take away his two hundred stones of iron ore for nothing!

These iron ores are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. This second generation ancestor must want to steal the silver!

Steward Deng’s heart ached. Even if he could get help from His Highness the Sixth Prince, he still had to pay real money to buy so much iron ore! Now not only do we have to work hard to get things done, but we also have to give away these iron ores for nothing!

Seeing that Manager Deng’s face was turning blue and white, Lily could bear the pain in her stomach and waist. This trick of the Crown Princess was really amazing. She defrauded the Southern Xinjiang Army of two hundred stones of iron ore from Baiyue for nothing. ! Marrying the crown prince's concubine is truly a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes!
