Fortune Princess

Chapter 160

"Leaving?" Jing Yi frowned slightly, why did he leave in just a few days?Didn't Wei Ping say that he would stay in the capital for a while?

"Yes, the little one listened to it. It seemed that something was decided at home. He left in a hurry. Some people who looked like a caravan came over twice and left together." Everyone who arrived told Jing Yi that this young master of the Hou Mansion was found in their inn, so of course he had to curry favor with him.

While the two were talking, a group of Jing Zhaoyin's soldiers walked past the door of the inn, and Xiao Er couldn't help sighing: "My lord, if there's nothing wrong, it's better not to go out and walk around recently."

"Why?" She seemed to vaguely see how many people were from the Imperial City Guard just now?
"Hey, I don't know how it happened, as long as the foreigners in the capital will be interrogated for a long time, and those who are a little impatient will be pressed back for interrogation. Forced by livelihood, I also want to hide at home and avoid trouble."

"Look at our store. When has it been so deserted? Merchants are afraid to enter, and people who want to go out of the city have to spend a lot of trouble." It was also uncomfortable.

Without saying anything, Jing Yi understood why this happened.Guan Jun's gunpowder, the foreigner who met Fu Peng, and the real masters behind those grotesque people on the high platform, everything pointed to the foreigner. It was only normal for the emperor to be so cautious.

After thanking Xiao Er, Jing Yi left Yunlai Inn, and Wei Ping left. Although it was a bit regretful that he couldn't drink the drunken beauty, it was okay, after all, we met by chance, and hoped to see each other again in the future.

After a while, Jing Yi put the matter behind her and walked to the Prince's Mansion unconsciously.Since the day of the military parade, I haven't seen Xiao Yichen, and I don't know what he is busy with all day long. Since Wei Ping is gone, I just asked Xiao Yichen out for a drink.

Before Jing Yi could knock on the door, the door of the Prince's Mansion opened from the inside, and Xiao Yichen in a brocade robe led Rong Hui out, followed by many guards.

The bedroom and the study are the key places to check. Since Jing Yi is here, he has to follow along to take a look. Fu Peng's father is in the fourth rank, and he is not considered a high-ranking official in the capital. The furnishings at home are far less luxurious than other big families. , but from the decoration of his study, it can be seen that although the Fu family is a general, they value scholars very much. There is a whole row of bookshelves right in front of the table.

Jing Yi came in with Xiao Yichen, and the scene in front of her couldn't help but remind her of the scene when the Anlebo Mansion was raided, hundreds of people were executed, and blood flowed like rivers on the execution ground.The glorious Anlebo Mansion in the past no longer exists.

Xiao Yichen entered the palace and handed over the letter to the emperor. It was the communication between Fu Peng and Zhou Zhong, the steward of the Anlebo Mansion. Basically, all the orders Fu Peng received were given by Guan Jun to Zhou Zhong, including the deployment of military defense. It was preserved and not burned. It is estimated that it was also to prevent the donkey from being unloaded and killed after the key event is completed.Not only that, but several ministers who were not implicated were mentioned in it. This time the evidence is conclusive. It is unbearable that the officials of the Great Wei actually colluded with the aliens.

After working for a while, she forgot about this person.

Flipping through a few books, Jing Yi frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something, and moved his hand back along the bookshelf, and there was an ordinary-looking history book at the back but he couldn't pick it up.

"You are indeed my lucky star. You have made great contributions this time. In addition to the matter of the military parade, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily." Xiao Yichen joked, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that this was the reason. He was in danger several times , were all rescued by Jing Yi, and it would be appropriate to call him his lucky star.

Jing Yi proudly raised her small chest and raised her chin: "That's right, it doesn't matter who the young master is."

Rong Hui followed behind his master, peeking at the two holding hands together, he couldn't help admiring in his heart, indeed His Highness the Crown Prince is His Highness the Crown Prince, taking the opportunity to pull the little hand, it's amazing!
After walking for a while, Jing Yi realized that the two of them were clasping hands, and they shook them off uncomfortably.For no reason, my heart seemed to be a little sick again.

"I didn't expect Fu Peng's father to still like to read." Jing Yi joked, picked up a book and flipped through it, Xiao Yichen also felt that it was rare, civil and military officials were at war in the court, and no one would obey anyone. Unexpectedly, the Fu family It's a bit bookish.

Coming out of the imperial palace, Xiao Yichen knew that the emperor's thunderous tactics would set off another bloody storm in the court hall. His originally gloomy look immediately disappeared when he saw Jing Yi waiting for him in the carriage.

Xiao Yichen stepped forward and took out a few letters inside, opened it, looked at it for a while, and then put it away carefully.Jing Yi looked at him curiously, with an expression of writing something.

Rong Hui understood, and directly called the guards to surround the Fu family, kicked the door open, and the guards swarmed in. There was no one in the Fu house long ago. Because of Fu Peng alone, the rest of the Fu family were included in the felony crime of treason and executed. , leaving only the empty house.

"That's right, Guan Jun has been punished, and Fu Peng has also been executed. My father asked me to lead someone to copy Fu's mansion. Since it was Fu Peng who came into contact with people from other races, maybe the Fu family will know something else." With a wink, Xiao Yichen stood beside Jing Yi, not intending to move.

With his hand empty, the corner of Xiao Yichen's upturned mouth came down.The group arrived at Fu's residence soon.Jing Yi glanced at Xiao Yichen, pointed inside: "Fu Peng's house?"

"Jing Yi?" Unexpectedly, Jing Yi would come to look for him, Xiao Yichen's eyes and brows were filled with joy.

"You... What are you going to do?" With so many people, looking at the murderous look, it is rare to see Xiao Yichen in such a businesslike manner.

"Xiao Yichen, it seems that this time was not in vain." There was a hint of cunning in his clear eyes, Jing Yi gently moved the history book, only to hear a "click", and a hidden compartment appeared behind the bookshelf.

"It's just right, you go with me. When the errands are over, let's go to Zuiweixian for dinner." Before Jing Yi could react, Xiao Yichen grabbed Jing Yi's hand and dragged her forward.

"Let's go, go to Zuiweixian to have a big meal." Rong Hui, who was sitting outside the carriage, was happy for his highness. He hadn't noticed before that as long as the master was with Mr. Jing Yi, he always smiled happily. .

Not long after they left, the Mu family's carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and the coachman handed the guards the signboard of Concubine Mu, and entered the palace directly.

A woman in pale pink palace attire came down from the carriage. She put on a thin layer of powder, brushed her eyebrows lightly, combed her hair in a delicate bun and inserted a golden hairpin. Xiao Yichen directly sent Mu Mengyao down to meet him.

"Meng Yao pays tribute to my aunt."
