The old lady of Marquis Zhongshun's mansion died suddenly on the spot, and even Marquis Zhongshun went completely crazy.

It is a pity to see such a huge mansion in decline...

When the Akabane Army escorted the crazy Marquis Zhongshun out of the gate of the marquis' mansion, the people who originally just wanted to watch the excitement suddenly became quiet.

Some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief and looked at each other.

Is the Marquis' Mansion, which can cover the sky with one hand, going to be destroyed just like that?

They don’t believe it, they don’t dare to believe it…

Someone among the people raised his hand, "Sir, where are you taking the Marquis to?"

Wu Heting looked back and saw Qi Shanyuan who was leading Jiang An out.

With a smile on his face, he turned around and said, "I have received evidence of the Marquis's crime of selling illegal salt. I am taking him back to the capital for trial..."

"From now on, the Marquis' Mansion will be sealed and locked!"

The mother-in-law who was eating the fruit spit out the skin and said blankly: "Is the mansion finished...?"

Some people in the crowd cheered, while others picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the crazy Marquis Zhongshun. The scene was chaotic for a while.

Standing beside the vermilion door, Qi Shanyuan bowed to the Dali Temple Minister to thank him.

He thought that revenge was never about killing people...

It is more unbearable for the enemy to live than to die...

Wu Heting: "Miss An An..."

The little girl didn't look up, and no one knew what she was thinking about, so seriously.

He called again, and Jiang An looked up in confusion.

The little girl shook her paw, "Master Wu, take care, and remember to return to Kyoto quickly~"

Wu Heting laughed in silence. He was so anxious to send Marquis Zhongshun to the guillotine. What a deep hatred...

"Then I will set off. Take care, young lady."

Jiang An nodded vigorously, "Let's go~"

Before Wu Heting had walked far, he heard the little girl say behind him, "The mansion is locked, where is the money in the mansion?"

The Marquis' Mansion also robbed so many things from Yuanyuan's family!

We can’t just use all of it to replenish the national treasury!

"Ah…"

He shook his head. No wonder he was thinking about it so seriously just now. He was obsessed with it.

Xie Yunshan placed his hand on the little girl's head, using it as a crutch, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it all back for you!"

Jiang An took a step forward and grabbed General Xie's sleeve, "Let's go..."

Xie Yunshan was forced to stop yawning in the middle of his yawn, "So urgent?"

The little girl nodded, "Urgent!"

He looked helpless, but still followed obediently, complaining softly, "Master, I haven't eaten yet!"

The little girl rummaged around in her arms and took out a big white bun. "Do you want some?"

Xie Yunshan lowered his head and saw that the buns were squeezed into a pancake.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry..."

Jiang An tilted his head. Didn't this person just say he was hungry? How could he change so quickly?

Unable to figure it out, she simply put it out of her mind, took Qi Shanyuan by the hand and got on the carriage, heading towards the government office.

The matter of Marquis Zhongshun's Mansion was pushed by Jiang Jichen behind the scenes, and everything happened so suddenly.

Suddenly, Wu Heting had brought Marquis Zhongshun back to the Dali Temple in Kyoto. The concubine who was far away in the Huguo Temple discovered that her mother's family had been wiped out.

It was impossible for her to intervene again, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

Even if she smashed the room clean, the purse of the Marquisate would not be saved.

After the Dali Temple made a decision on the matter of the Zhongshun Marquis's Mansion, Wu Heting even sent someone to deliver a letter to Peizhou...

Marquis Zhongshun is really crazy.

Selling illegal salt should have been a capital crime with property confiscated, but the empress dowager sympathized with him because he was the Dowager Concubine's brother and the only relative on her mother's side, so she asked the emperor to pardon Marquis Zhongshun's death sentence and sent him to the Dowager Concubine at the Huguo Temple.

The mansion of Marquis Zhongshun was confiscated, all his servants were sold or beheaded, and his property was added to the national treasury as Jiang An had said. An imperial decree was issued that Marquis Zhongshun could not leave the Huguo Temple for the rest of his life.

The Queen Mother's move was to completely disgust the Concubine Dowager.

The concubine and the Chen family became a joke in Kyoto, and Jiang An, who played an indispensable role in this incident, also became famous...

Jiang Jichen intended to keep his daughter out of this matter, so most people only knew that the person who did this was a little girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Many people wanted to find out Jiang An's identity, but were secretly blocked.

It was already the end of August when the letter arrived, and it was the crab-eating season in Peizhou…

A month ago, Qi Sheng came from the north to assist Qi Shanyuan in managing the Qi family property that was snatched back from the Marquis' Mansion.

The two of them were very busy all day.

On the other hand, Jiang An, with Huo Changming and Li Xingsang, and with the help of Xie Yunshan, was just about to poke a hole in the sky of Peizhou...

In the restaurant, the girl dueled with knights from Peizhou who were passing by. She took on most of the knights' weapons and even snatched their weapons when the fight got to the top.

Not to mention Huo Changming, whose brute strength was enough to lift a muscular man above his head.

Within a few days, the brother and sister were listed in the Jianghu register, and anyone carrying a long sword or broadsword on the street would stay away from them.

No one challenged them, so the little girl set her sights on the library...

He pulled Huo Changming and Li Xingsang in and debated with the scholars there.

The most lively time was when I heard that the huge library was almost demolished by these two groups of people.

The governor, who was originally handling official business in the government office, rushed over and saw from afar in the crowd the little girl who was arguing enthusiastically on the table.

He clasped his hands together and said bluntly: "My little ancestor, why is it you again!"

Hearing this, Jiang An grabbed the governor's official robe by the wide sleeves and said, "Tell me, should we increase taxes in the North?"

The governor almost knelt down before this little ancestor, holding his official hat and almost crying, "Your subordinate... Your subordinate cannot say anything!"

When scholars and students discuss taxes, as long as they don't say stupid things that shouldn't be said, it can be said to be debate and learning; but he was an official of the Southern Merchants, how could he have the nerve to discuss state affairs in such an occasion!

The little girl spread out her claws, pushed the man aside, and faced the group of literati opposite again.

A little girl of six or seven years old faced off against eight or nine literati without any fear at all.

"The well fields in the north are harvested once a year. Neither the climate nor the soil can be compared with those in the south..."

"If the people in the north can harvest one and a half dan of crops from one acre of well-field in a year, then the people in the south can harvest at least three dan of crops from one acre of well-field in a year!"

Because the incident caused such a big stir, people even came from the government office, and the library was packed with people.

Even the owner of Taohuayuan, Wen Zeyu, and Xie Yunshan, who was drinking there, came to watch the fun.

Jiang An, wearing a red skirt, stood on the table, pointing at the scholar's nose with a stern look, "Have you ever read the Southern Merchant Law? Do you know how the Southern Merchants measure the taxes on farmers?"

The scholar was defeated by the questioning. His lips moved but he could not say anything.

He was just a scholar who could only understand the words of sages in books. He only glanced at the law books and knew nothing about farming.

"The Southern Merchant Law measures how much tax should be paid based on the amount of cultivated land a farmer owns..."

"According to what you said, the tax paid on one and a half dan of grain produced from one acre of well-field in the north is the same as the tax paid on three dan of grain in the south. This is what you call fairness!"

"You short-sighted people only see that the North is getting better day by day..."

"It has only been three years since the North has gradually recovered. Hundreds of years ago, the people of the North were starving. Why haven't you guys argued about how to change the North's plight...how to find a way to reform it!"

Jiang An took another step forward, staring with wide eyes, "You guys are counting the grain and taxes, but why don't you count the number of casualties among the people and soldiers guarding the border in the north!"

She pointed at a man and asked, "Are you the one who dares to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy general?"

"still you?"

"Who are you?"

After the little girl said her last words, the library became eerily quiet.

The scholar was ashamed and ran away with his face covered. The rest of the people in the library lowered their heads and fled in all directions.

Jiang An snorted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked proud.

Huo Changming and Li Xingsang beside her threw down the chairs in their hands and cast approving glances at the little girl.

The governor supported Jiang An with both hands. As one of the few people who knew the true identity of this little ancestor, his heart was in his throat!

"Ancestor, come down quickly, don't fall!"

Wen Zeyu, who was sitting in the carriage, picked up the gauze on the small window with his bony hands and said in a leisurely voice, "This little ancestor is going to leave another legend in Peizhou..."

"Peizhou Library has been built for a hundred years, and no one has yet been able to silence all the scholars in the library."

Xie Yunshan, holding the wine jug, half-closed his eyes, his eyes clear, "Normal, who made her..."

Wen Zeyu put down the veil, raised her brows slightly, and looked at Xie Yunshan with a smile, "What did Brother Xie say?"

General Xie was half sober. He wanted to say, "Who made her Jiang An?"

The surname Jiang is the national surname in southern China.

"Nothing, it's just that this little girl is a troublemaker in the North."

Wen Zeyu smiled and nodded, his eyes glittering with starlight, "Is that so..."

Not to mention, it's fun to tease Mr. Xie when you have nothing to do~

Jiang An won a great victory. When he came out of the library, he saw this familiar carriage.

She ran over, "Wen Zeyu?"

"Young lady, would you like to take my carriage to dinner?"

The little girl nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just hungry~"

She took Huo Changming and the others into the carriage. General Xie had already hidden the wine jug.

He poked the little girl and said in a teasing tone, "The restaurant banned people like you a few days ago, and I'm afraid the library won't dare to let you in today..."

"Tell me, where do you want to go next?"

Jiang An held his head and grinned, revealing a pair of small fangs, looking particularly naughty.

She sneaked up to Xie Yunshan and grabbed his clothes, "I heard that there is a very big... very big gambling house in Peizhou City?"

"And there's the black market that Xingsang has always wanted to go to~"

"besides…"

"besides!"

Xie Yunshan raised his voice so high that even the vendors outside the carriage could hear it.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly felt a little sorry for himself. "If you continue like this, your father will hang me up and beat me when we return to the North!"

Listen, what kind of places are these... gambling houses! Black markets!

The little girl shrank her neck and looked eagerly, "Can we go then?"

Xie Yunshan: …

"go with!"

He pulled the ball of hair hanging on the little girl's head and said, "I must have owed you money in my past life!"

You must pay off your debt in this life!

Jiang An's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his fat paw, palm facing up, with a sincere expression, "Can I pay it back in this lifetime?"

As Wen Zeyu laughed heartily, General Xie closed his eyes.

I’m afraid I’ll have a heart attack if I look at it for one more second!
