After An Xin received the debt collection mission from Si Han, he was not in a hurry to collect the debt.

In the following period of time, she, who used to seldom go out, would often go to restaurants to try local delicacies and to teahouses to listen to folk songs.

Occasionally, he would run into Xiao Wenrou, who, after learning that An Xin was no longer hiding in the embassy, ​​deliberately brought people to cause trouble.

Xiao Wenrou, who had relied on the fact that Si Han always sided with her when she had conflicts with others in the past, either swore at An Xin or brought people to embarrass her when she saw her.

An Xin generally didn't want to get on the same level as the women in the harem of this era.

But this does not include Xiao Wenrou, the mad dog that keeps biting her.

Xiao Wenrou discovered that whenever she had conflicts with An Xin, not only did she not gain any advantage, but whenever she went back to complain to Si Han, he would always give her the perfunctory response.

An Xin still came to this street that day and ate at a restaurant that he thought had good food. Then, when no one else was paying attention, he put a note from under the plate into his sleeve.

She has collected a lot of information like this during this period. If she wants to accomplish something, she must be prepared.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wenrou did not get any support from Si Han, which made her hate An Xin even more. She felt that Si Han had other purposes in keeping her.

After all, Xiao Wenrou felt that whether in Daqian or Beiming, she had a feeling that as long as An Xin was there, her light would be overshadowed.

She is determined to obtain the position of Queen Bei Ming and will not allow anyone else to interfere.

Because of this reason, Xiao Wenrou often secretly took action against those noble ladies who wanted to use their family background to enter Si Han's harem.

Xiao Wenrou was always accompanied by the secret guards sent by Si Han to protect and monitor him, so of course he could not hide these things from him.

However, he also knew that behind those noble ladies were huge and powerful families in Bei Ming. If he really took them into the harem, it would be a help to him, but also another kind of shackle.

Si Han didn't want to have this kind of trouble for the time being, so he let Xiao Wenrou make trouble and also helped him block those women who wanted to enter the palace.

Xiao Wenrou didn't know that her actions had caused dissatisfaction among many ministers.

If she hadn't been emitting the aura of a heroine all the time, she would have become a thorn in the eyes of officials like Bei Ming.

After returning to where he lived, An Xin looked up at the secret guards who were still guarding various places in his yard. He really wanted to applaud their dedication.

An Xin: "Would you like to come down and have a cup of tea together?"

The Bei Ming secret guards who were hiding in the dark on the big tree in the yard couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Is this human language? If they dare to come out today to accompany the person they need to monitor, they can sit together happily and harmoniously and drink a cup of tea.

It is guaranteed that their heads will be hung in the valley where they are trained tomorrow, made into human head lanterns, to contribute to awakening the next batch of secret guards.

An Xin walked over and sat on the stone bench in the yard.

The silent courtyard remained silent, and no one spoke in response to her hospitality.

A cool breeze blew, and the leaves in the yard rustled. An Xin bent down...

This action frightened the secret guards hiding in the dark, and they were all on high alert, ready for battle.

If they were to be knocked down from the tree with stones again, they would really be too embarrassed to go back and see their master.

They were all carefully trained elites, and no matter how they hid, they would be discovered by this female official. The secret guards felt like crying.

It's really unique that the secret guards are like them.

Under the scorching gazes of more than twenty secret guards hiding in the yard, An Xin picked up a yellow leaf from the ground, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was glad that what he picked up was not a stone or something like that.

An Xin had a playful look in his eyes. He turned the leaf in his hand back and forth to admire it, muttering, "I can pick it up and use it as a bookmark."

After scaring the secret guards sent by Si Han to watch her in the yard, An Xin stretched lazily, then stood up and walked back to the room with a guilty conscience.

Then, a man in the room took out some useful information collected by his subordinates who had followed him secretly in Beiming during this period of time.

And according to An San and An Wu, when they were collecting this information, it seemed that someone was intentionally helping them.

An Xin touched her chin. She seemed to guess whose subordinates those who helped An San and others were.

Looking at the evidence of powerful officials from various noble families in Beiming in his hands, the evidence ranged from the major ones that could lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan, to the minor ones that could lead to a concubine having an affair and cuckolding her master, and giving birth to a son who looked like the bachelor next door.

Anyway, all the shitty things that happened to those people were collected by An Xin.

When An Xin saw the papers with secrets written on them, a look of surprise appeared on his face which always had a faint smile on it.

"This time when I go to collect the debt, as long as General Gu doesn't go too far, I won't use this handle to hold him responsible..." An Xin's eyes narrowed and he muttered lightly.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Considering the high return offered by Si Han, even without me, Si Han would find other ways to get back the debt.

Anyway, all this money will be used by Si Han in the end, so I might as well do what he wants. This will also lower his vigilance against me and fill my own coffers at the same time. Why not?

The next morning, the sun filled the courtyard and shone into the room.

An Xin got up, washed up, and had breakfast with everyone.

Ask Chi Lan to find a long bamboo pole for herself.

Although Chi Lan was curious why An Xin asked him to find this, he didn't ask anything and went to help her ask around the yard, and finally brought back a freshly cut bamboo.

An Xin couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he took the bamboo pole handed over by Chi Lan. He didn't know whether to praise him for being a good and obedient baby, or to say that he was wasting a gift from God.

This is the precious Phoenix Tail Bamboo. In the entire embassy, ​​there are only a few of them planted in the yard where they live.

An Xin: "Did the people in the embassy say anything when they saw you cutting bamboo?"

"I had already finished chopping when they came." Chi Lan said with a little pride.

An Xin's mouth twitched. What could she say? It was already cut down, so she might as well use it!

Jiang Xuan, Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou and the others were curious about what An Xin wanted the bamboo pole for, and they all stood under the eaves and looked at her.

An Xin hung the imperial edict written by Si Han with the seal on the bamboo pole brought by Chi Lan, fixed it firmly, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then she stood up and straightened her clothes. She was dressed very casually today, a half-new green short-sleeved robe and a pair of shoes embroidered with auspicious clouds.

She has black hair tied up in a bun, a clean and fair face, and her facial features are delicate when viewed alone, but when put together, her appearance appears to be more grand than beautiful.

Jiang Xuan, Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou moved their positions and looked at the yellow imperial edict which said... The corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.
