Xiao Mingzhan could not imagine that a little peasant girl could be so concerned about the country and the people, while his father and all the officials in the court only cared about their own enjoyment.
With a bitter laugh, he said, "My father is getting old and his health is failing. He only cares about refining elixirs to prolong his life and has forgotten the people of the world."
The pastries in front of Gu Xinran suddenly lost their fragrance. It would be better for such an emperor to die sooner rather than later. However, people who take drugs don't live long. She hoped that the prince would be a good person.
"Your eldest brother doesn't care about it, and there are also those ministers."
Xiao Mingzhan sighed deeply, "My brother is a prince, and he lives in fear. Father is worried about him usurping the throne, and his brothers are coveting his position. Whenever something happens, he can only do his best to mediate.
It was my eldest brother who arranged for me to come and announce the imperial decree, asking me to open the granaries and release grain, transfer the grain in my hands, and try my best to help the people.
The Prince of Zhennan is my brother's in-laws. My eldest brother arranged for them to do their best to collect food and wait for the victims to enter the country.
He can only go so far.”
Doctor Ling shook his head, his face filled with anger: "The court is full of corrupt officials, especially the Third Prince and his faction. They don't do their jobs and are always thinking about overthrowing the Crown Prince and taking the throne themselves.
It was they who instigated the migration south, wanting to drive all the disaster victims to southern Xinjiang, disrupt Yunzhou, and create trouble for the king's uncle.
Ming Zhan has had no good days left because the Third Prince is such a bastard that he sends people to hunt him down in an attempt to cut off the prince's financial support.
I'm afraid they were the ones who caused the poison."
Gu Xinran was a little confused. The amount of information was too much. Was it appropriate for a little village girl to know these things?
It seems that Doctor Ling is really holding it in, so it's good for him to vent.
Focus on the key point: The third prince, a common enemy!
"Is the Third Prince called Xiao Mingxuan? He's the nephew of Magistrate Sun."
Doctor Xiao Mingzhan and Ling nodded in unison.
Gu Xinran thought to herself that the Third Prince's faction must not be allowed to gain power. People who kill innocent people indiscriminately will not be able to live a good life.
If he gets to the top, there will be no hope for revenge, and he will have to live in fear, which is too frustrating and unbearable.
Gu Xinran picked up the teacup and took a sip, suppressing the anger in her heart, and said with gritted teeth:
"I have a vendetta against him for killing my father!"
Gu Xinran recounted the details, including the major events that took place the day before yesterday, including emptying out the Sun family's house.
Doctor Ling was furious. "No wonder Xiao Ba said that you came to the capital city to seek revenge in advance. They are all worthless. Well done!"
Xiao Mingzhan never expected that the death of Gu Xinran's father was also related to the third prince.
After learning about what she did in the capital, I have to look at her differently. The teenage girl is brave and resourceful, and she takes action when it is necessary. How awesome!
But the third prince is too powerful, so he needs to be persuaded.
"Xinran, you are still too weak. You can handle Sun Xudong, but the Third Prince is not allowed to touch him. I am looking for some evidence that may be able to bring him down."
Gu Xinran's eyes lit up, "What evidence? Can I help?"
Xiao Mingzhan thought for a moment and then spoke slowly, "The evidence was at the Sun family's house, but it has been stolen. Did you see anyone suspicious when you visited the backyard at night?"
Gu Xinran had only cared about gold and silver before. What else could be more important in Prefect Sun's possession? Could it be the box of letters in the secret room?
"What are you looking for? He only has a little gold and silver."
Xiao Mingzhan glanced at Gu Xinran. It seemed like this girl had gained a lot. Could it be that the evidence just happened to fall into her hands? He felt a little suspicious.
"The spies said that Magistrate Sun has correspondence with the Third Prince, which is evidence of their rebellion."
Gu Xinran's heart was filled with anxiety. Was this my lucky break? The hope of revenge was right before her eyes!
"Brother Xiao, I actually found a box of letters in the secret room of the Sun family's study. However, I haven't read it yet, so it may not be what you are looking for."
"real?"
Xiao Mingzhan and Doctor Ling asked the same question.
Ming Zhan couldn't believe how coincidental it was. How did Xin Ran get into the secret room? Did she steal everything from Prefect Sun's house?
This is unbelievable... But she must have a secret, and that incredible spirit-gathering water is a mystery.
Gu Xinran knew that this was a big deal. The letter was useless in her hands and was a hot potato. It could only be effective if it was given to Xiao Mingzhan.
"I'll go get it. Wait for me half an hour."
Xiao Mingzhan was worried and prepared to let the secret guards escort her.
Gu Xinran quickly refused, "No, it would be more dangerous if your people showed up. Perhaps Prefect Sun suspected you of stealing and is secretly watching you."
"Then let Xiao Ba accompany you. No one will know that he is mine."
"Forget it, let him have a good time with his brothers, I'll be back soon."
How could she make something out of nothing when others followed her? One could only appreciate the kindness.
As soon as Gu Xinran left the Snow Garden, he quickly rushed to an empty corner, looked around to see that there was no one around, and slipped into space.
As soon as I entered the space, I noticed a few people passing by quickly outside. I took a glance and saw that they were all dressed in black, similar to Qi Da's clothes.
It seems that Xiao Mingzhan was worried and sent people to protect him from behind.
Gu Xinran complained in her heart, why didn’t he just listen? It was a waste of effort and manpower.
Looking around, I realized that the space has expanded to over 100 square meters!
A bottle of spiritual spring water normally increases the size by 20 square meters, but Xiao Mingzhan was only given four bottles, so how come the size increased by about 180 square meters?
Haha, the space courtyard will be available soon.
Going back over the entire meeting, the only exception was that I patted him twice. Could it be that physical contact also counts as a bonus?
I am so excited that I have the chance to try it again!
Gu Xinran found the letter box in Magistrate Sun’s secret room and counted eight letters and an account book.
I opened a letter at random, and it was about the gold mine in Hong County. The third prince actually ordered the prefect Sun to mine gold privately. Wow, he is so bold. No wonder there are gold bars in the secret room.
Three of them were about gold mines.
There are also some things about Jinzhou. I didn’t expect that Jinzhou is also the world of the third prince. There are their iron mines and arsenals there.
The account book records the output of the gold mine, the amount of gold transported away, the mining situation of the iron ore and the number of weapons.
It's really awesome! This is meant to be a rebellion. If a prince really rebels, there will be war and disaster, and we will really have trouble living.
After leaving Chengzhou Prefecture, the next stop heading south is Hong County, where the gold mine is located.
The fastest way to go south to the southern border of Yunzhou is through Jinzhou. It is impossible to take a detour of more than a thousand miles.
The rest of the journey of fleeing from the famine will require a difficult struggle for survival in the Third Prince's territory. What kind of fate is this that will lead to a life-and-death struggle?
It will become more and more difficult in the future. Alas, there is no hope of lying down, so let’s just flatten it!
Gu Xinran looked at her arms and legs and realized she couldn't straighten them by herself.
Golden Thigh, you have to keep working hard!
I hope that handing over these evidences can quickly eliminate the Third Prince.
There's still some time left, don't waste it.
Gu Xinran packed the tiger bone wine in the space and prepared to send some to Xiao Mingzhan and Doctor Ling.
There was also a large bag of hemostatic powder.
This whole ordeal lasted for more than half an hour.
Gu Xinran looked outside and saw no one, so he left the space carrying a large backpack.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Xiao Ba looking around anxiously.
