Chapter 7: Anliang Village Bandits



"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. Your Highness, my name is Jin Lie, and I am half Northern Rong."

Twenty years ago, the current Majesty was still just the Crown Prince.

Emperor Taizu loved to fight wars, and this piece of land was conquered by Emperor Taizu himself.

So it’s not surprising that the people here have the bloodline of the Northern Rong Kingdom.

But those are not the main points. Qingshi State does not value one's origin.

Ji Wan waved her hand and said, "Take him away."

After ordering the young eunuch to take the person away, Yang Guan stood respectfully beside Ji Wan again.

His eyes swept over the two border guards who were trembling and kneeling.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, why did Her Royal Highness the Princess call my brother and me here?" One of the braver ones asked with a trembling voice.

"How dare you! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess? How dare you disrespect the princess!" As he said that, he waved his hand, and the two men seemed to be knocked over by a huge force, and both spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yang Guan knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess would not let these two people go today, and would hand them over to him for interrogation.

So why not show yourself in front of the princess now, and most importantly, vent your anger on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It will be easy to get things out of these two people's mouths in a while.

Ji Wan was indeed angry. She was angry that the county magistrate had colluded with the bandits and caused trouble for her.

Although this trouble also has many benefits for me.

However, looking at the two people stumbling in front of him, they were wearing the clothes of border guards.

Ji Wan was even more angry because he didn't know how many soldiers guarding the border had colluded with him.

Ji Wan waited for a while, and seeing that the two of them had been almost dealt with, he felt a little relieved.

Only then did he order Yang Guan to take the man away for trial.

The two men were now covered in bruises, wailing non-stop, and it looked like they had many broken bones.

He picked up the hot tea from the new slave girl Xiao Cui, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.

Xiao Cui was the slave Yang Guan bought a few days ago.

Ji Wan, the younger one, had already found a teacher to teach her. Xiao Cui was the oldest among them and had just learned calligraphy.

She is the same age as Ji Wan, thirteen years old.

Previously, because my family stood on the wrong side in the struggle for the throne, the current emperor sentenced the entire family to exile.

After being rescued, he was very grateful to Ji Wan and was unwilling to let her go to school, insisting on serving her by her side.

Seeing that the girl was determined, Ji Wan agreed with her.

At worst, I can just give you more salary later.

It was already evening when Jiang Jian arrived. He placed all the information he had found on Ji Wan's desk.

Ji Wan took a look and found the content very detailed, which clearly could not have been found in a short time.

I sneered in my heart. This old fox clearly knew what was going on, but he just turned a blind eye.

"Have you found out? Jiang Jian, prepare a few people for me. I will leave for Tongcheng at 1:00 AM tomorrow."

Before Jiang Jian came, he thought that the princess would not let these people go, so he had made preparations in advance.

"Yes! Your Highness, I have prepared it for you."

After dinner, Yang Guan brought the results of the interrogation.

"Your Highness, the results of the investigation are out. Anliang Village was actually the masterpiece of Tongcheng County Magistrate Zhang Baojiang.

This thief not only colluded with Anliang Village, but even the entire Anliang Village belonged to him!

What does Your Highness want me to do?"

Ji Wan chuckled and thought to himself, as expected, Zhang Baojiang is indeed the biggest leader of Anliang Village, the thief has been crying wolf for five years.

"Go and capture the Tongcheng County Magistrate now. Just him alone will do. Don't worry about Anliang Village in Beirong Country for now. I need to capture the traitor first."

Ji Wan still had some distrust towards Jiang Jian, the old fox, and was afraid that he would secretly send a message to the magistrate of Tongcheng County.

Therefore, it would be best to order Yang Guan to capture Tongcheng County Magistrate Zhang Baojiang overnight.

The Tongcheng County Magistrate must have contacted Anliang Village through letters, otherwise he would not have sent people to rob the ore every time it was mined.

By then, we can catch all those who imitate handwriting in one fell swoop.
