Shangguan Ziqi took out the things from the small wooden box.

Yu Zheng then saw that it was something like a card.

It looks like it's made of copper.

There is also a wolf head totem on it.

The eyes on the totem are lifelike, but the bronze plate may be quite old and have some rust, or it may have not been used by its owner for a long time.

"What is this?" Yu Zheng couldn't understand.

"This is a unique badge used by the guards in my Prince Rong's mansion. But it's from the previous generation." Shangguan Ziqi looked thoughtful.

"Oh? How come the plaque of Prince Rong's Mansion is here? And it's from the previous generation." Yu Yuzheng was even more confused.

"I don't know. Let's go to the county jail and ask the boss how he got it." Since there are doubts, we must investigate it thoroughly.

And he also knew that his wife would definitely want to know the answer, so they could ask it together.

Yu Zheng asked two maids to take care of Shangguan Ru and the child.

"Don't worry, Madam Young Master. We will definitely take good care of Miss Tu Ru and Miss Biao." Zhilan promised.

"Well, ask the inn kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for Xiao Yue'er so that she can eat something. She didn't eat much at noon."

"Yes, Madam Young Master." Zhiruo immediately went to ask the waiter to make arrangements.

Shangguan Ziqi ordered four guards to get on the carriage and go to the county government office.

When County Magistrate Liu heard that Young Master Shangguan had arrived, he was shocked, thinking that he was coming to blame him for dereliction of duty again.

But this gang of bandits has been around for many years and his predecessor never dealt with them. He has only been here for two years, so how could he have such great power?

"Your humble servant greets the eldest master." County Magistrate Liu and several of his subordinates gave him a warm reception.

"Okay, young master wants to see the big boss." Shangguan Ziqi continued to explain his purpose.

When County Magistrate Liu heard that they were not looking for him to call him to task, the smile on his face became even more flattering.

The queen personally brought them to the cell.

Almost a hundred bandits filled the county government's jail in no time.

These people were so taught a lesson by the guards that they dared not resist.

They all had bruises on their faces and noses, so Yu Zheng knew that the guards were not polite at all. They just didn't beat them to death or maim them.

Shangguan Ziqi glanced at these people and then fixed his eyes on a corner.

An old man squatted there silently.

There was no one within three feet of him.

Perhaps his usual prestige was still there, so the other bandits didn't dare to act rashly.

"County Magistrate Liu, have someone bring that old man out to the torture chamber." Shangguan Ziqi raised his hand and pointed.

The old man was taken to the torture chamber.

But he still kept his head down and didn't look at anyone.

"Raise your head." Qingfeng shouted sternly.

But the old man still kept his head down.

Mingyue stepped forward, grabbed his hair and forced his head up.

The old man then looked at Shangguan Ziqi, but his eyes were flickering.

Shangguan Ziqi immediately caught his expression.

"Who are you? Do you know Mr. Xu?" Shangguan Ziqi asked speculatively.

But the old man remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, Young Master will punish you severely. Don't think that just because you are an old man, Young Master will not be able to spare you. As a bandit leader, you have robbed countless merchants and travelers over the years. Just based on these, you deserve the death penalty. If you tell the truth, maybe you can get a lighter sentence." Shangguan Ziqi said coldly.

Yu Yuzheng was also observing the old man and felt that he looked familiar.

"Husband, do you still remember the man named Mo Lin in front of you? He is the one who came to assassinate Sister Ru." Yu Yuzheng suddenly asked.

As soon as Yu Zheng asked this question, the old man's eyes changed obviously.

With a hint of pain and sadness.

"I remember. What's wrong?" Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand what she meant for a moment. Why did she suddenly ask this irrelevant question?

"Do you think he looks a bit like Mo Lin?" Yu Zheng reminded.

Shangguan Ziqi then looked at the tied old man seriously.

You know what, they really do look alike. Women are the most observant.

But judging from his age, this old man obviously couldn't be Mo Lin's brother.

So who is he?

"Your last name is Mo, right?" Yu Zheng asked.

The old man opened his eyes.

Needless to say, Yu Zheng guessed right.

"You have a son named Mo Lin, right?" Yu Zheng continued to ask.

But the old man still didn't answer, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Zheng.

The old man was shocked.

He is old now, his body has aged, and his martial arts skills are not as good as before.

Someone came up the mountain yesterday and he was controlled in just a few moves.

He had received news of the failed robbery attempt down the mountain at that time, and he immediately arranged for an informant to keep an eye on it at all times.

In the end, the six men couldn't kill those people at all.

He planned to retreat immediately, but before he could take any action, those people came up the mountain.

At first he just received the order to cooperate with the people sent by the army to kill all the people in this team.

He didn't know who he was going to kill.

As a result, those people quickly dealt with the brothers who had gone down the mountain, and then went up the mountain again so quickly to besiege the old and weak who remained on the mountain.

As he was being brought down the mountain, he saw a man who looked somewhat similar to the man on the top of the mountain.

He soon guessed his identity.

It must be the son of Prince Rong’s Mansion, but he is not sure which one.

Because he had been away from the palace for too long, a full twelve years.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess who you are.

You used to be from the Rong Palace, and you belonged to the third master of the Rong Palace, Shangguan Hongzhe.

Your son's name is Mo Lin, and he was arranged to be the companion of the third master's eldest daughter Shangguan Ru in Luohe City.

Your wife, Zheng, has already gone to the palace's courtyard to serve the princess.

Nanny Zheng said that you were dead, but in fact you were not dead at all. You used your death to cover up the truth and were working for the Third Master outside.

I can guess what it's about.

Robbery on the way, just to provide your children with ill-gotten gains.

Am I right?" Yu Zheng came up with her guess based on the information she got after marrying into the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the old man's face turned red and his breathing became rapid, but he still didn't speak.

"Your wife had been giving saffron to the princess for a long time in the hospital, and she was caught and committed suicide by taking poison. Your son tried to assassinate Shangguan Ru a few days ago, but he jumped off a cliff when we chased him and died.

You said that your family ended up being ruined because of working for the Third Master. You must have lived in fear every day, right? "

Yu Zheng continued to speak.

He should have known about Nanny Zheng's death a long time ago, and he should have just heard about his son's death from his own mouth.

"You have a daughter, who might die one day." Yu Yuzheng stabbed again.

As a result, the old man shed tears.

"Are you the eldest son?" After a while, the old man slowly asked.

As soon as this question was asked, the couple knew that Yu Zheng's guesses were all correct.

That badge belongs to him, one of the guards trained by the old prince.

It was just given to the third master.

"That's right." Shangguan Ziqi confirmed.

The old man looked at Yu Zheng again.

"I'm his wife." She also explained.

The two waited for him to take the initiative to admit it.
