Military Advisor Yuan smiled faintly, "Times have changed. A man should be treated with new eyes after three days of absence. For now, I choose to trust Madam for the time being."
Ao Xi curled his lips and smiled, "I heard about Fang Junyi's miserable condition when I came back. It seems that the lady's story has entered the mind of the military advisor."
The Yuan military advisor remained silent.
After a while, Suman was invited over.
Su Man was a little nervous before entering the room, but when she entered, she found out that Military Advisor Yuan had asked her to provide advice.
In this case, Su Man did not hesitate to analyze it in detail.
"Since they sent troops to our village only after the village chief returned from Pingchuan County, their purpose must be related to this robbery."
"Yes, we guessed this too." Ao Xi said.
Su Man narrowed her eyes. "It's just that this is related, and there are several possibilities. The first possibility is that Prefect Fang was embarrassed, so he angrily surrounded and attacked the Black Wind Village. The second possibility is that there is too much gold, silver and treasure involved in this case, and they want to recover it."
Ao Xi rejected the suggestion without a second thought. "If they really wanted to annihilate Black Wind Village, they wouldn't be so gentle. As for the treasures, if they were in the homes of ordinary people, it would be a large sum. But for those officials, it's just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning."
"Then there is only the third possibility."
Su Man's eyes were blazing. "The value of these things is not just as simple as gold and silver."
The air froze for a moment. After a long silence, Military Advisor Yuan finally spoke, "Madam's speculation is not without reason. We were misled by Fang Junjie. He deliberately brought so many people here, making us think he was truly planning to attack Black Wind Village. But in reality, he had other intentions."
Ao Xi hesitated, "But what's so special about these things? Aren't they just ordinary gold, silver and jade items?"
Su Man didn't quite understand this. She happened to be wearing the red jade bracelet that Ao Xi gave her, so she took it off and looked at it in front of her eyes.
Red jade is rare and its color is as red as blood. Upon closer inspection, you can see that it is carved with fine patterns.
It is not the kind of hibiscus and peony that are often carved on ordinary jade, but a bunch of small flowers with ancient shapes, which are pieced together to appear more exquisite.
Military Advisor Yuan frowned as he looked at the pattern. Slowly, his expression changed. "Madam, could you show it to me?"
Su Man handed it to Military Advisor Yuan, "Military Advisor, please take a look."
Military Advisor Yuan lifted the table with his palm and examined it carefully. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I think I know."
