"Yeah, eh..."
Jiang Wan took a few steps forward holding the candle, and saw something strange about the stone wall next to the large box containing gold and silver.
She walked over in a few steps, and Song Jiuyuan stood next to her, gently supporting her who almost fell.
"Wanwan, please slow down."
His strong arms gently lifted her up, making Jiang Wan blush.
The next second her eyes were successfully attracted to the stone wall.
"Song Jiuyuan, didn't you notice that there isn't even a trace of dust beside this stone wall?"
Other places have gathered dust at least. After all, few people except Zhou Xian Cheng know about such a hidden place.
No one had cleaned it, and there was more or less dust. There was even dust on the gold.
"Something's wrong."
Song Jiuyuan's eyesight was astonishing, and he suddenly moved the wooden box in front of him with great force.
As a result, it didn't move. Song Jiuyuan frowned, then changed his method and pushed it gently. Sure enough, the wooden box was pushed.
Soon..., the stone wall shook slightly, and a groove protruded in the middle.
Jiang Wan looked over curiously and saw a small notebook inside.
The small notebook was rubbed and bound, probably because someone took it out often and looked through it.
"Isn't this evidence of the crime of Zhou County's chief minister?"
Jiang Wan came over holding a candle and joked in passing.
However, she did not touch the small book. Instead, she stood aside very knowingly and handed Song Jiuyuan a pair of gloves.
"Now, take a look."
Song Jiuyuan put on his gloves obediently, and then carefully picked up the small notebook.
With the candlelight in Jiang Wan's hand, Song Jiuyuan's face showed a hint of joy when he could clearly see what was written on it.
"You are right, this is indeed the evidence left behind by Zhou Xiancheng, and it is evidence that he and Fu Zhixian colluded to exploit the people's wealth.
It also records the amount of bribes collected. It is a ledger. "
Zhou Xiancheng left these behind, probably to manipulate Fu Zhixian.
Unexpectedly, Fu Zhixian was sent away directly by Song Jiuyuan, and now he ran away in a hurry.
"That's a good feeling. Keep it well."
Jiang Wan was happy for Song Jiuyuan from the bottom of her heart, and almost forgot that they were in a bullpen.
Song Jiuyuan, on the other hand, put his big hand on Jiang Wan's shoulder after putting away the account book.
"Wanwan, let's go out first and leave the rest to Song."
"good."
Jiang Wan agreed, and after the two went out, they restored the secret room intact.
Smelling her own stink, Jiang Wan wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"I have to go back and wash up first."
"good."
Afraid of embarrassing Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan simply took Jiang Wan back to the inn on horseback.
His coat was wrapped around her, but the others didn't smell anything wrong.
"princess."
Qiuniang has also returned home, the sky has darkened, and the soup kitchen at the city gate has ended.
"Go pour the bath water."
Song Jiuyuan gave a direct order, and although Qiuniang didn't know what happened, she quickly followed it.
Jiang Wan could only go back to her room and wash up obediently. If Song Jiuyuan hadn't been there, she would have gone to the space to wash up.
Back in the room, Qiuniang had prepared bath water and thoughtfully sprinkled some dried flowers in the tub.
"Master, let me help you."
Qiuniang was keenly aware that something was wrong with the smell in the air. Jiang Wan took off Song Jiuyuan's coat without any hesitation.
"Don't touch these clothes, leave them to me."
When Qiuniang turned around to get some clothes, Jiang Wan quietly dropped some rose essence.
It was all filled with the scent of roses, and Qiuniang didn't notice anything was wrong.
"Okay, Master."
Realizing that Jiang Wan had taken off the prince's coat, Qiuniang snickered inwardly. It seemed that the princess didn't care about the prince at all.
At least now they could see that the princess was still thinking of the prince in her heart.
Qiuniang pressed Jiang Wan's shoulder. Knowing that she worked hard to serve the porridge, she even squeezed her wrist specially.
Her sore and swollen wrists felt much better. Jiang Wan lay beside the tub and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
"Qiu Niang, how can you do this?"
"This slave was once sold by her parents to work as a maid in a wealthy family. She was taught how to do it by an older sister."
Qiuniang lowered her eyelids and spoke very softly. Those memories seemed to have passed a long time ago.
"Are they good to you?"
In fact, Jiang Wan already had some answers in her heart. If she was really good to Qiuniang, she would not follow her.
"good."
Qiuniang's answer was unexpected, and she sighed softly, "Actually, that family is very good to me.
It's just that the lady wants the slave to be the young master's wife, so the slave doesn't want to go back. "
The young master is a good man from Zhilan Yushu, but she doesn't want to be one of the jealous people in the backyard.
Moreover..., she had been abducted and trafficked, and even if she went back, her family would not like her anymore.
"So that's it."
Jiang Wan turned to look at Qiuniang. She had followed her during this period and had a good meal.
Qiuniang's thin little face has a little bit of flesh on it, so she won't be the most beautiful girl in the country, but she is still a beautiful woman from a small family.
While talking, Jiang Wan put on fresh clothes, and when she came out, Song Jiuyuan had also finished dressing up.
His hair was covered with green hair, and he seemed to be talking to Song Yi. When he saw her coming out, Song Yi cupped his hands and went out.
"Have you caught Zhou County Cheng?"
Jiang Wan sat naturally beside Song Jiuyuan, and wisps of fragrance penetrated the tip of her nose. Song Jiuyuan sat calmly in his arms.
"No."
"ah?"
Jiang Wan's hand that was combing her hair paused, "Then it will be difficult to catch him."
"There's no need to arrest him anymore."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes flashed coldly, which made Jiang Wan very puzzled.
"What's the meaning?"
"When Song Yi chased after him, he found that more than thirty people in the Zhou family had been looted, and no one was left alive!"
Song Jiuyuan's eyebrows darkened when he said this. Needless to say, they all knew it tacitly.
There are no bandits, I'm afraid some people will kill them.
Jiang Wan was not in a good mood, "Where's the body? I'll go take a look."
Although she was not a forensic doctor in her previous life, she knew something about it.
"Well, the body was placed in Yizhuang."
Song Jiuyuan's good mood was also wiped out, "Fortunately we found his secret room. I will leave those things to Song Yi. Fortunately, the evidence of the crime is also there."
Jiang Wan was also very lucky. Fortunately, there was a system, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find the secret room.
In the end, I am afraid that it will be easier for the person who silenced me.
When the two arrived at Yizhuang, they could no longer see the road clearly. It was filled with candlelight. Qingshan walked in the front, his legs trembling slightly.
"Qingshan, if you are afraid, just wait outside."
Jiang Wan understood that after all, it was normal for a young man in Qingshan to be afraid after seeing so many dead people at one time.
Qingshan tightened his sleeves and gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, Qingshan is not afraid!"
Since he chose to be the princess, he must protect her from now on.
If he was afraid of the dead, how could he do anything for the princess in the future?
Hearing this, Jiang Wan's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and when she was about to raise her foot to go in, she was held back by Song Jiuyuan.
"Wanwan, I'll go ahead, you follow me."
Song Jiuyuan had seen countless corpses on the battlefield, and this was not a big deal to him.
Jiang Wan didn't hesitate. She gently grabbed Song Jiuyuan's clothes, opened the door and walked in together.
