The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

At night, the sky is dotted with stars.

Zhou Yue'e put her head close to the place where the tiles were lifted, but before she could see what was inside, a big hand next to her pushed her head aside.

Before Zhou Yue'e could make a move, Wei Li lowered his voice and said, "Stupid, be careful that there might be a shadow below that might give you away."

After Zhou Yue'e knew the reason, she smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, and listened attentively to the conversation in the study.

Wei Li stopped laughing at her and handed her something instead, "First time on a mission? Here, put it on so you can hear more clearly."

He took out an ear-shaped object, put it on his left ear, and motioned Zhou Yue'e to wear it on her right ear.

The end connecting the two ear shapes was in the shape of a trumpet and was placed directly by Wei Li on the original tile.

Zhou Yue'e couldn't help but be surprised. This voice was clearer than before.

At this moment, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but glance at Wei Li.

"Hold the lamp!"

The voices of the servants at the door of the study drifted far away, and the servants quickly lit the lanterns in the yard one by one. Then the servants disappeared, and the yard of the study became quiet again.

Zhou Yue'e was shocked at how grand this prince was.

In Lianzhou city, beggars were begging on the streets, refugees were running around in groups, and the Prince Li’s mansion was brightly lit and filled with hordes of servants.

She had been cultivating in the mountains since she was young, and had never seen the life of a rich family. Today, she finally saw the rich life her second sister had talked about.

There was no envy in Zhou Yue'e's eyes, only calmness.

She looked up and met Wei Li's eyes. It was at this moment that she could vaguely see Wei Li's face.

She only recognized the man by his clothes and body shape, and the man on horseback also had spots of mud on his back.

She spotted Wei Li just as she entered the city in the afternoon, so she left Wei Dayong behind and acted alone.

Fortunately, I followed him and sneaked into the study of Prince Li's mansion...on the rooftop and eavesdropped on Prince Li's news.

This man had a beard all over his face, a pair of beautiful eyes, and skin that was whiter than others. His full beard did not affect his handsomeness.

Zhou Yue'e glanced a few times and then looked away, concentrating on listening to the people in the room talking.

"Has the whereabouts of that batch of grain not been found yet? Is it certain that the grain in the warehouse disappeared along with the Wei family's treasures?" Prince Li's voice was mellow, with a hint of anger.

Zhou Yue'e glanced at Prince Li's appearance through the gap, but she didn't like the bearded man in front of her as much.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have indeed not found the whereabouts of the food and the treasures. However, I suspect that they were robbed by the Ming King!"

The man kneeling on the ground was wearing a gray coat, no different from the clothes worn by ordinary people. Even if he was thrown into the crowd, no one would notice him.

"What do you mean?" Prince Li suppressed his anger and asked patiently.

"There is a Ping County under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou, and Wei Shou's daughter lives there. The county magistrate of Ping County is a member of the Wei family, but when I went there, the magistrate's family had been wiped out, and Wei Shou's daughter and her family also disappeared in Ping County."

The man in gray raised his head and glanced at King Li. King Li no longer frowned as he did before.

"continue."

The man kneeling on the ground continued, "There is a village called Jingkanzi below Ping County. Ten days ago, the entire village was killed in a fire."

Prince Li began to get impatient again, "Let's get to the point. What's so strange about the fire in that village?"

The man in gray didn't dare to keep the secret any longer. "The husband's family of Wei Shou's daughter is in that village. Ten days before the fire, someone saw the Wei family sending several carriages to deliver things to the Bai family."

Prince Li stood up from his seat and paced slowly in the study. "It's just a few carriages. Maybe they are Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. How can a few carriages hold so many things?"

"Jingkanzi Village is at the foot of Taiming Mountain. I have heard that on the day of the fire in Jingkanzi Village, Wei Shou's daughter was at her husband's home."

The man in gray knew that he had not completed his mission, so in order to offset his merits and demerits, he made a lot of preparations and found out a lot of useful information.

King Li did not ask for punishment, and the man in gray continued to report.

"I led people to inspect the scene earlier. There was Black Water and weapons from our palace... Jinhua also appeared in Ping County for some time."

"King Ming still wants to put the blame on me? No wonder King Yan treated him so lightly. It was King Ming who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Did he forget the agreement between us?"

Prince Li kicked lightly with his right foot, and the stool next to him rolled on the ground several times.

The man in gray did not interrupt, but was secretly happy, thinking that he had passed this level for the time being.

Prince Li asked again, "Is what you said true?"

The gray-clothed man trembled his right hand and kowtowed hurriedly, "I do have the black water and weapons. I will have them brought to you right away. The Ping County Magistrate had seen the King of Yan before his death. It is possible that the King of Ming is now in league with the King of Yan~"

As soon as the man finished speaking, King Li suppressed his anger and said, "You should leave first!"

The man in gray bent down and stepped out. As soon as he stepped out of the study door, his head left his body.

The servant guarding the study door made a gesture, and several servants dragged the man in gray away and cleaned the study door.

"Mr. Qian, you guessed it right!" Prince Li walked behind the screen and invited the person out.

"This man was bribed by the King of Yan. In order to avoid suspicion, he dragged the King of Yan into the water. He wanted to sow discord between you and the King of Ming so that the King of Yan could reap the benefits."

Mr. Qian is dressed like a scholar and looks elegant and steady.

"Sir, you are very smart and you got it all right. The Prince of Yan is very willing to help you." Prince Li handed Mr. Qian a cup of tea and the two began talking again.

"Mr. Qian, where do you think the grain and the treasures of the Wei family went? Is there really any secret in Jingkanzi Village?"

Prince Li was still troubled and couldn't help asking.

"The Wei family will not bet their wealth on ordinary farmers. The things of the Wei family might really be taken by the Ming King."

Mr. Qian paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know what tricks King Ming used to get the spy of King Yan beside you to secretly instigate and make King Yan fight with you."

King Li understood immediately.

"But the rumor in Mingzhou that King Ming is lustful is probably false. King Ming has big ambitions. He has an alliance with you and has joined forces with King Yan."

Prince Li was completely furious at what Mr. Qian said next.

"Ming Wang is really good at planning. If that's the case, I will also give him a great gift. Those refugees have no way to survive, so just send them directly to Ming Wang."

Prince Li had an idea and gave the order.

The two talked for a while and then left.

Wei Li's face looked a little unhappy since he heard about the Wei family.

There is indeed something hidden in the Wei family's affairs. Since his grandfather had already made arrangements in advance, how could the Wei family end up like this?

Apart from my aunt's family, who else in the Wei family is still alive, and where did those things go?

Who is Mr. Qian?

"Hey, everyone's gone," Zhou Yue'e grabbed the good eavesdropping tool with one hand, "This thing belongs to me, and I won't ask you to compensate for the clothes!"

"You~"

Wei Li didn't think any more and flew after him.
