At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"Yeah, let them stay in there for a few days!" Yu Yunxin said.

"Okay, let's just wait and see how the situation develops!" said Nangong Lin.

"Why is Eunuch Hu locked up? The Bai family really doesn't take our father seriously." Yu Yunxin said angrily when she heard this.

"Hu Man acts very low-key. He just says that he is a eunuch from the palace who has returned to his hometown to retire. Naturally, the Bai family will not take him seriously." said the secret guard.

"But it is impossible for a prefect to cover up everything. Why don't the governor and the inspector report what's happening here to our father?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"It's the second prince. Qi Yongzhou is the second prince's fiefdom. No fifth-rank official dares to come here for a secret investigation." Nangong Lin replied.

"In that case, Nangong Rui is really despicable. He relies on his status to act recklessly." Yu Yunxin said angrily.

"This is only part of the reason. Some officials are in collusion with the Bai family, so this situation occurs." The secret guard explained.

"What should we do now? We can't let Eunuch Hu be locked up forever." Yu Yunxin said anxiously.

"We can secretly send someone to find out about Eunuch Hu's situation. If necessary, we can find a way to rescue him." Nangong Lin suggested.

"Well, this is a good idea, but be careful not to alert the enemy." Yu Yunxin nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I will make proper arrangements." Nangong Lin comforted.

"Qizhou is the fief of King Rui, so where is your fief?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"The fiefdom granted to me when I was thirteen was Chengzhou. Unfortunately, after my grandfather was framed, this fiefdom was taken back." Nangong Lin replied.

"Qizhou is located in the east of Kyoto, neither too far to the south nor too far to the north. Although it cannot be called a Feng Shui treasure land, it is not too bad. What will happen if a riot occurs in the fiefdom of any prince?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"Of course, it is to take back the fiefdom." Nangong Lin answered without hesitation.

"Usually, the local governor will first try to take measures to suppress the riot. If that doesn't work, they may ask the capital for help." Yu Yunxin continued to analyze: "In my opinion, if the people of Qizhou riot, Nangong Rui will flee back to the capital."

Hearing this, Nangong Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes. He responded softly: "Just rest here with peace of mind. Everything about Nangong Rui will be handled by me. Don't worry. If you want to build the colored glaze workshop, it seems that Nangong Rui must be driven back to the capital. The best way now is for the people to save themselves." His voice was low and powerful, revealing an unshakable firmness and confidence, as if he had already planned the next action.

Yu Yunxin seemed to understand what Nangong Lin was going to do. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "I will break into the government office with you tonight. You were injured last night and I'm really worried. Besides, I have hidden arrows and wheel blades with me, so I can definitely protect myself." As she spoke, her eyes revealed her concern for Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin stared at Yu Yunxin, and seeing her firm attitude, he couldn't help but feel touched. He knew her character very well, and now she was concerned about him and was affectionate. So he nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Senior Sister, let me go with you!" When Wuming heard that they wanted him to break into the government office, he immediately ran to Yu Yunxin and said.

"Wuming, you haven't seen your master in these few days. Come with me to Yongning County." Upon hearing this, the ghost doctor immediately pulled Wuming back to his room.

In the dead of night, everything was silent, and the moonlight was like water pouring down on the earth. Nangong Lin, Hong Sheng, and Bai Zhi moved quietly, nimbly moving through the darkness, their target being the three Baiji rice shops in Qizhou City.

At the same time, Yu Yunxin also led Yanluo and Aoxue to the other three rice shops in Qizhou City. It goes without saying that Yanluo's dagger skills are now superb, and Aoxue was originally a secret guard of King Rui. After practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Art and Flower Umbrella skills for several months in Yanyu Manor, her skills have improved a lot. They finally gathered outside the government office. The three of them carefully avoided the guards and quietly sneaked into Qizhou City. She asked Aoxue and Yanluo to stand guard outside the rice shop to ensure the safety of the operation.

After entering the rice shop, there was a large amount of grain stored here, piled up like a mountain. Yu Yunxin couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the Bai family warehouse has so much grain! What do you think Nangong Rui wants to do with so much grain?" She looked at the full warehouse of grain in front of her with doubts, her heart full of questions.

"What on earth are these grains used for?" Yu Yunxin pondered for a while, and immediately put all the rice from the rice shop into the space. Her action was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Then she went to another shop and took out all the silver and banknotes under the counter. She took a look at the rice price tag. It was twenty-five cents for a dou of coarse grain. No wonder there were more than a thousand taels of silver and copper coins on the counter.

After she emptied the shop and sent everything into the space, she left the shop and met up with Aoxue and Yanluo outside, and then went to Qizhou government office together.

The same thing happened to Nangong Lin. He knocked out a few guys in the rice shop. His movements were as fast as lightning.

The two teams stood in front of the government office and looked inside. "Xin'er, how are you doing?" Nangong Lin asked with concern.

Yu Yunxin nodded, "Why is the government office so busy today? Nangong Rui is not inside?"

"Madam, the government office is hosting a welcoming party for the Second Prince and the newly appointed Censor of Qizhou." Hong Sheng watched Yu Yunxin secretly glancing into the brightly lit government office.

"No wonder it was so easy to steal from the warehouse of the Bai family's rice shop. It turns out that all the people in charge of the Bai family are here!" Nangong Lin said after taking a look inside the government office.

"Then it seems that it will be easy for the six of us to sneak into the government office." Yu Yunxin clapped her hands and signaled the four people behind her to look at the guards coming in and out of the mansion.

Hong Sheng, Aoxue and the other four quickly understood the mistress's intention, and then quickly disappeared into the night. In the blink of an eye, they changed into guards' attire and appeared at the gate of the government office, sending a signal to Nangong Lin and others that they could take action.

Nangong Lin and Yu Yunxin looked at each other, nodded, and flew into the government office together. They first arrived at the brightest courtyard in the government office and carefully climbed onto the roof. Nangong Lin gently lifted a tile, then hung a fist-sized monitor on the beam, and then put the tile back in place, his movements as light as a breeze.

After finishing, the two looked at each other again in tacit understanding, and then left quietly. Then, they came to the backyard storehouse of the government office. The number of guards here has obviously increased, and there are several guards patrolling in the yard with big dogs, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

"This prefect is really cautious!" Yu Yunxin sighed in a low voice. She had a colorful bracelet in her hand, which could use the scent of flowers and trees to cover the scent of herself and Nangong Lin, making it impossible for those big dogs with a keen sense of smell to detect their presence.

The two took advantage of the guards' shift change to sneak into the government storehouse. When they entered the storehouse, the sight of piles of gold and silver in front of them shocked Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin.

"This Magistrate Bai actually dares to be so bold and presumptuous. It seems that the reason he can have such courage is that he must have the support of my second brother behind him." Nangong Lin said indignantly as he looked at the mountains of gold, silver and treasures in the government storehouse.

Yu Yunxin asked doubtfully, "What should we do next?" Before she finished speaking, Nangong Lin quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and started taking pictures of the treasures in the warehouse. After taking the pictures, he pulled Yu Yunxin into the space again.

After entering the space, Nangong Lin walked directly to the sofa in the living room and sat down, then turned on the surveillance footage in the government office and checked it carefully.

"I'm going to ask my trading partner to help me make some blueprints of the gold, silver and treasures stored in the government office's warehouse. We can't let Nangong Rui know that the government office has been robbed yet." Nangong Lin explained his plan while sending messages on his mobile phone.

Yu Yunxin nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood. Then, she also moved closer to Nangong Lin and observed the situation in the government office together.

"Your Highness Prince Rui did not expect that you would come to Qizhou in person." Prefect Bai toasted Nangong Rui with a gentle face.

"My beloved concubine, Concubine Bai, misses you two, so I am bringing my beloved concubine back to Qizhou to visit her." Nangong Rui said while sitting in the main seat.

"Yes! Yes! Prince Rui dotes on my Pei'er. Don't worry, I have done everything that Prince Rui asked you to do. Now Yueling Pavilion also has 200,000 elite soldiers. Neither the Censorate nor the Secret Investigation Department will find out that Your Highness has private soldiers." Prefect Bai smiled and looked at Prince Rui, who was in a state of uncertainty.

"Well! Very good, as long as I have these 200,000 elite soldiers in my hands, I am not afraid of anyone." Nangong Rui smiled proudly.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, you are joking. With your identity and status, who would dare to go against you?" Magistrate Bai agreed with a smile.

“Hmph! Of course I know my identity and status, but some people just don’t know what’s good for them and always pick on me.” Nangong Rui snorted coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Oh? Who is so bold as to go against His Royal Highness Prince Rui?" Magistrate Bai asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be? It's that Crown Prince who's always pretending to be important! And that idiot Nangong Lin, does he think that he can sit back and relax just because he's the Crown Prince and he's just got the military power? It's just wishful thinking!" Nangong Rui said gritting his teeth.

"So that's how it is. Does His Royal Highness Prince Rui have any plans to deal with the Crown Prince and Prince Yu?" Magistrate Bai asked cautiously.

“Of course! I have already thought of how to deal with them. When I return to Beijing, I will make them fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.” Nangong Rui said confidently.

"That's good. I hope that His Royal Highness Prince Rui will succeed soon and ascend the throne." Magistrate Bai said respectfully.

“Hahahaha… don’t worry, I will definitely succeed. Concubine Hou Bai is my queen, so you are the prime minister.” Nangong Rui raised his head and laughed.

At this time, a guard came over and reported to Nangong Rui, "Your Highness, the Bai family's second daughter, Yueling Pavilion's Yue Envoy, wants to see you."

"Oh? Please come in." Nangong Rui said hurriedly.

A moment later, a woman in a red robe walked into the hall, saluted to Nangong Rui and said, "Your Highness, my ghost market was attacked by the Shura Sect last night. I'm afraid that the people from the Shura Sect have already sneaked into Qizhou City." As she spoke, she handed a box in her hand to Nangong Rui.

Nangong Rui took the box, opened it and saw that it was a pill. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Shura Sect is not something to be afraid of now."

Nangong Rui looked at the pill in his hand with greed in his eyes, "This is the pill that can enhance my inner strength."

"Your Highness, this is a pill made personally by my brother using thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and hundred-year-old snake king's inner elixir. My brother was seriously injured last night and it was with the help of this pill that he recovered his internal strength. There are only two of these pills, and this one is presented to His Royal Highness Prince Rui by my Yueling Pavilion with sincerity." Shangguan Hongling replied respectfully.

After that, he walked to the front of King Rui and whispered something in his ear. Nangong Rui smiled and hugged Shangguan Hongling into his arms and said, "Yueling Pavilion and Prefect Bai are indeed very sincere. My beauty, go and get ready first. I will come to you after the king has explained the matter here."

Nangong Rui reluctantly helped Shangguan Hongling, who was sitting in his arms, up, and his hand pinched Shangguan Hongling's waist unconsciously.

Shangguan Hongling stood up, put away the medicine box, threw a coquettish look at Nangong Rui and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, don't forget that I'm waiting for you in the backyard." After that, she stood up and left the hall.

After Shangguan Hongling left, Nangong Rui said to Governor Bai, "Governor Bai, I need your help with one more thing."

"Please tell me, Your Highness. I will do my best." Magistrate Bai said respectfully.

"I want you to use the same method as Nanling County in your farmland and build water conservancy projects, so that I can speak well of you in front of my father. Also, you must give me satisfactory tax revenue this year and you can be promoted." Nangong Rui said seriously.

"I understand, Your Highness. Don't worry, I will complete the task." Magistrate Bai promised solemnly.

"Well, very good. I believe in your ability, and I hope you can stand in the court of the imperial city as soon as possible." Nangong Rui said with satisfaction.

"I understand what Your Highness Prince Rui means." Magistrate Bai said in fear and trepidation.

At this time, King Rui cast his eyes on Chen Wenjie, the Censor of Qizhou, who was sitting on the left with him. After Chen Wenjie felt the King Rui's gaze, he immediately stood up and respectfully walked to the side of Prefect Bai and stood still.

Prince Rui turned to look at Chen Wenjie and asked calmly, "Sir Chen, you should know why I asked you to be the Imperial Censor of Qizhou, right?"

Chen Wenjie nodded quickly and replied respectfully: "Your Highness Prince Rui, I understand."

Chen Wenjie turned around and walked to the side of Governor Bai, standing shoulder to shoulder with him and said, "Governor Bai has worked hard and cared for the people in Qizhou over the years...

Yu Yunxin couldn't bear to watch this: "They are birds of a feather. The people of Qizhou couldn't make ends meet and started an uprising, but Nangong Rui didn't even know about it?"

"Of course he doesn't know about this since Nangong Rui just entered Qizhou City tonight." Nangong Lin said.
