With the news that Xiao Yanzhi was safe, the dark clouds hanging over the capital finally dissipated.
During this day and a half, the number of officers and soldiers with solemn expressions running around everywhere decreased visibly. Seeing this, the shop owners on both sides of the street dared to open their shop doors completely, patting their chests with a sense of relief that they had survived a disaster.
"Oh my god, it's finally over. It was so scary! Does anyone know what happened? Why is it like we're catching traitors?"
"Right! If anyone knows, please come out and tell us so that we can have a clear idea."
"What? You two don't know? It's such a big deal, the Emperor has spoken, and there are still people who don't know?!"
The boastful and confident tone of the third person immediately aroused the curiosity of the first two people. Many people who had heard of it but were not very clear about it could not help but prick up their ears, their gossipy hearts burning.
After all, it has been several years since such a large-scale event has occurred in the capital!
…
"Oh, didn't the Duke of Jiang's mansion recognize a legitimate daughter just before? Before she was recognized, that legitimate daughter was a concubine to the Prince of Yan and gave birth to a beautiful and charming little boy. After several entanglements of love and hate, the legitimate daughter finally saved the life of the Emperor's beloved concubine, Concubine Chen, and was granted a gift. Soon she will enter the Prince of Yan's mansion, and will go from being a concubine who is not seen in public to a legitimate and legitimate princess. In this way, the little boy will also become a precious young prince, right? Guess what happened in the end?"
This man often went to teahouses to listen to storytelling, and he heard these half-true and half-false news while eating melon seeds in the teahouse.
He imitated the storyteller's tone and it was somewhat similar, but no one could stand his deliberate suspense and they were busy shouting anxiously.
"What's the result? Tell me now! I'm so anxious!"
My arms and shoulders were pushed several times in a short while.
He couldn't resist, and cried out twice, speeding up his speech, "Okay, okay, don't rush me, isn't it enough for me to say it?
"In short, to put it simply, someone was so bold as to steal the legitimate young lady... Oh, right, don't you all know this legitimate young lady?
"That's the Divine Doctor Jiang, the man the Emperor bestowed upon him the name 'Miraculous Doctor'!"
"It's Divine Doctor Jiang's son who was kidnapped by bad guys. The Jiang family is furious, the imperial court is furious, and the noble families allied with the Jiang family are furious. This is what led to this suffocating storm. Fortunately, the young master was successfully found, otherwise, the real bloodbath would have just begun!"
When gods fight, mortals suffer. When everyone hears this, they are filled with fear and sighs.
Looking at those deep mansions that represented power and status, he sighed, "It's good to get it back, it's good to get it back. Others may not know, but us ordinary business people are the ones who most hope for peace and tranquility in the capital. Otherwise, won't we be the ones who are most affected?"
"Hey! Who said it wasn't?"
After a few words, everyone dispersed. They all understood that it was better to hear less about the secrets of these aristocratic families.
Isn’t the old saying that the more you know, the faster you die!
…
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Yuanyi received the news earlier than Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanlang. Instead of returning to the city, he went directly to the foot of Songshan Mountain.
Yes, Jiang Ying and the others are in Songshan.
The mountain got its name because it is covered almost entirely with pine trees.
Not far from the capital, it forms a triangle with Jingshan, the royal hunting ground, and Qishan, which is dangerous and has the most poisonous creatures. In the middle is a deep valley with perennial fog, which is called "Buhui Valley".
Legend has it that no one has ever actually entered the valley, and anyone who has entered has never come out.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that her child had been found, she, who had been lying in bed in a daze, immediately recovered. She burned incense and took a bath, then went into the Jiang family ancestral hall to burn incense and express her gratitude to the ancestors.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanlang felt relieved and decided to rush to Songshan without staying at home for too long.
They have to go together to bring Xiao Yanzhi and his sister back. This time, both mother and son will definitely suffer a lot!
This is the most important thing at the moment. As for thoroughly investigating the murderer, it won’t be too late to find a way to weave a net and catch the fish after we bring the person back.
But no one knew that Jiang Ying was standing on the top of Song Mountain, interrogating a prisoner at this moment.
It was the androgynous Nian Nu who was captured by the Demon Guards.
During this day or so, Mo Jiwei controlled him and did not give him a drop of water to drink or a grain of rice to eat, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Jiang Ying narrowed his eyes and took a step toward Nian Nu, but Kunan politely stopped him and warned, "Princess, be careful. This man is very strange. It took us brothers a lot of effort to capture him. He can shrink his bones, and now he looks smaller. This must be because shrinking his bones reduces his physical energy consumption, allowing him to survive longer without food. What a joke! Do you think that the only way we Demon Guards can torture people is to fast?"
If they hadn't wanted to wait for the prince to wake up and question him personally, they would have treated him in a hundred and eighty different ways.
You dare to kidnap the young prince. You are so bold. You deserve a longer life. At least you should go through a round of torture by the Demonic Guards before you die!
Hearing this, Jiang Ying looked at Nian Nu, who looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and a smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth. "Commander Ku, can you let me interrogate this person?"
Kunan was not surprised at all. He stepped back and bowed, "Princess, please do as you please."
"How about doing me a favor? Make a pulley lock and drop him over the cliff. I'll play a game with him."
Kunan lowered his head even more, "It's my pleasure."
At this moment, he didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Ying's face, because she was too beautiful, and beneath that beauty, there was a kind of perverted bloodthirstiness.
It's vaguely similar to the prince when he went crazy.
No wonder the prince, who had been pure and aloof for so many years, still fell into the hands of the princess. This is probably what they mean, if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door?
After a while, the pulley lock was fixed.
Two Demon Guards held Nian Nu hostage and tied ropes around him.
He kept his head down, not saying a word or making a fuss. Just when Jiang Ying thought he would continue to submit, Nian Nu suddenly raised her head, staring at her with eyes as cold as a snake, "What are you going to do?"
Tilting his head, Jiang Ying said softly, "Guess."
Her voice is very nice, with the sweetness of a little girl and the charm of a young woman. It seems to have a captivating soft hook that makes people unconsciously be led away by her.
Nian Nu frowned, having a bad premonition. She even sensed a hatred from Jiang Ying that was even more terrifying than Kunan's.
Jiang Ying shook his head. "Don't guess? It doesn't matter. You'll want to guess later."
