quickly stopped her mother-in-law, "Mother, you're getting up there in years, it's not good to be swinging swords and spears around, you might pull a muscle.""Besides, there's the Hai Lan Army. Why d...Unlike Bao Lei's clarity, the courtyard of the princess was also thoroughly searched.
The princess was only wearing a nightgown and was thrown to the ground, still raving madly.
"You bunch of murderers, you dare to defy this princess This princess is the Long Princess!"
Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention!
Jiang Cheng was looking through some account books he had found when a soldier came running to report.
"General, we found the jade box and smoking paraphernalia, and there's also a list of flowers!"
Jiang Cheng was delighted and immediately ordered, "Pack everything into boxes, seal them tightly, and guard them closely! "
"Everyone, both master and servant, arrest them all and put them in jail!"
Yes, General!" the soldiers sprang into action.
The Eldest Princess finally knew she was in grave danger!
"No, it's impossible!" She rolled to Jiang Cheng's feet like a madman, shouting, "How did you know about the Immortal Herb It wasn't us, it wasn't us, it was Yaochi, Yaochi!"
Jiang Cheng kicked her away with one foot and shouted, "Whether it's Shenxian ointment or Furong ointment, they are all harmful things!"
"Now that both witnesses and physical evidence are present, how do you intend to deny it" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"A spineless fool aiding a tyrant, you disgrace the title of Heavenly Martial's princess! Prepare to meet your end!"
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng personally dragged her out.
The grand princess mansion was thoroughly ransacked, with every corner scrutinized. Over a hundred servants and family members were bound like dumplings and thrown outside the gate.
Inside the nearby gate, someone was peering through a crack in the door, watching clearly, then ran back to report to their master.
In the early morning of late winter, it is the coldest time of day. The old dog who watches the house all curls up in its nest and doesn't want to come out.
And in the new city, amidst the faint fishbelly-white of dawn, the Yaochi was filled with wisps of blue smoke. Broken and shattered, it was a sorry sight, with patches of blood still lingering here and there.
It is evident that last night's arrest was quite intense and dangerous.
The Lord stood in a courtyard, watching as soldiers carried several chests out of a secret room in one of the houses.
A whole chest was crammed full of brick-sized tubs of rose paste, tightly wrapped in oiled paper.
The rest of the chests contained gold, silver, and various ornaments, jade figurines, etc. It was evident that the person who bought the Fuhong ointment had pawned their family possessions when they ran out of silver.
It is evident that these people have gone to insane lengths for the sake of Rongfei Cream!
Outside the house door, dozens of people were tied up and kneeling in the courtyard like tightly wrapped zongzi.
A middle-aged fat man with rolling eyes fiddled around behind his back, somehow managing to untie the ropes.
Taking advantage of the guard's inattention, he suddenly sprang up and dashed past the wall.
Unfortunately, as soon as he climbed over the wall, he was slashed down by a knife and fell face-up against the wall.
At once, soldiers rushed forward, bound him up again, and simply pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding. Then he called over to the brother in charge of recording, instructing, "Here's another one who tried to escape! Record it down, and interrogate him carefully!"
The fat man's shoulder was slashed, he was in agony, and when he heard they were going to interrogate him, he couldn't hold on any longer and started howling.
I'm just a cook, I'm not a bad person, sniffle, I want to redeem myself!
"Our head steward has another hiding place, behind the cabinets in the kitchen! I happened to see it that day!"
A soldier immediately grabbed him and asked, "Are you a cook Then what were you running for just now Are you the boss here"
"No, no! It hurts, it hurts!" This fat man was afraid of death. He dodged the wound while shouting in pain.
"I was just curious to see what was in the back room The head manager caught me, and he's going to kill me."
I was hiding behind the sack of grain, and then you suddenly burst in.
"If I don't run, you guys will put me with the others. Our head honcho will definitely find a way to get rid of me!
"
"Woooo, I don't want to die, my mother was arrested by the head steward!
"
"I want to find the head honcho's weakness, exchange it for my mother and get out of here as soon as possible!"
The fat man cried tears and snot, looking as if he wasn't lying.
The lord walked up to him, took a good look at him, and said: “Since you are a person with intentions, wanting to get rid of Yaochi’s control, you must have other discoveries.”
This marquis has someone treat your wounds, you tell me everything you know and have seen!
"As long as you haven't committed murder and aren't the mastermind, this Marquis will ensure your safety!"
"Really" The fat man was ecstatic, ignoring his wound as he pleaded repeatedly, "My Lord, please have mercy! Please save my mother too. Wah wah, I can't live if something happens to my mother!"
The Lord nodded, "We need to find where they're hiding first!"
“I know, I know!” The fat man immediately cried out. “A few days ago, they made me cook two buckets of sorghum porridge, saying that some place had collapsed and it was inconvenient to cook, so they asked me to do this extra job temporarily!
But here at Yaochi, there's no sign of collapse anywhere. I suspect they used tunnels to transport the porridge!
"The lord only needs to investigate around here, which houses have collapsed, that should be where they're hiding people!"
The Lord waved his hand, and immediately soldiers ran to find Jiang Cheng. A large-scale search began.
As expected, half an hour later, Jiang Cheng sent someone to report that thirty people were hiding in a small courtyard. They also found the entrance to an underground passage and seven or eight guards who hadn't had time to escape…
It was already broad daylight.
The lord took the list and compared it with the account books, personally copying over thirty names, then gave instructions.
Then, a new round of arrests began.
In a certain courtyard in Nánchēng, the gatekeeper yawned and just opened the side gate, complaining softly to his companion.
"This night is going to kill me, I have no idea what's going on outside Thankfully it's morning now, otherwise I would have been so tired I'd want to ram my head into the wall!"
"Me too, I don't even know if there are steamed buns in the kitchen this morning. I want to eat two more!" The companion rubbed their eyes and complained together.
The gatekeeper who had spoken before let out a sneer, glancing around to make sure no one was listening before saying disdainfully, “You want to eat white flour steamed buns You're dreaming!”
I went to the back yesterday and heard our old master and mistress arguing. The mistress was so angry she smashed her teacup!
"It seems the master spent a lot of money doing something, and the public account's silver is insufficient. So they forced the mistress to pledge her dowry!"
"I told you, our food has been getting worse and worse! Before, we had meat every day, but now we can't even see it once every three or five days!"
Another doorman said, “That’s right, day after day it's cabbage and radish, I've eaten so much my pants are getting loose. You didn't mention it, I really hadn't noticed!”
“However, our mistress’s family is not lacking in any way. Your lord has relied on the Yue family many times before and treats our mistress well. How come he suddenly went crazy this time Doesn't he fear that our mistress will complain to her family”
"Then I don't know!" His companion pouted. Just as he was about to speak, a squad of soldiers galloped towards them from afar.
Both were surprised and peeked through the door, thinking someone had committed a crime.
To their surprise, the troops suddenly dismounted as they approached.
They wanted to ask, but were kicked to the ground!
