The useless princess is causing trouble again

Under the night sky, Nanyuan County was peaceful and quiet, with the sound of gongs occasionally heard on the streets.

In a pavilion beside a pond in a remote mansion on North Street, Situ Chong sat on a round stone bench, his right hand flat on the edge of the stone table, looking at the man in black standing opposite him with a serious expression, "Yege has been established for three years, and Leng Qi has been collecting intelligence in Nanyuan County for nearly a year. Since I am passing by here, it is time to close the net on some people and things."

Leng Qi took out a blue cloth bag from his arms, stepped forward, held it in both hands and placed it on the stone table, "The evidence that my master wants is all here. Magistrate Wu is the in-law of the Minister of Revenue. The account books inside record the evidence that Magistrate Wu used his position to resell official positions and sell private salt, as well as the correspondence between him and the Minister of Revenue. Please take a look, my master." Then he took a few steps back, straightened his back and stood in front of the column.

"Well, Leng Qi has worked hard."

Situ Chong casually opened the blue cloth bag, and three account books and a stack of letters came into view. He picked up the account book in front of him and placed it in front of him, then flipped through the pages one by one. When he saw the last page, his face darkened, "Wu County Magistrate is so bold that he privately accepted bribes of nearly one million taels of gold from merchants. Humph! He is really very good." He closed the account book and looked up at the sky, "Leng Qi, arrest all the merchants who colluded with Wu County Magistrate, and then strictly guard and interrogate them. I will give someone a big gift when I return to Beijing." He waved his right hand, indicating that he could leave.

Leng Qi answered yes respectfully, then turned and disappeared into the night.

Situ Chong waved to Ze Er in the corner and said, "A'er, follow me to a place." Then he stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Ze Er followed Situ Chong, and the two of them went towards the backyard gate.

……

Shangguan Wei stood outside a high wall in a remote corner, with a hundred Dragon Guards standing behind her. All of them were of extraordinary stature and hearing, and wore unique dragon-patterned masks. Shangguan Wei looked up to estimate the height of the wall, and then jumped onto the top of the wall by stepping on the protruding parts with her feet. After looking around, she pointed her left and right index fingers to one side, then raised her mouth and made a gesture of wiping her neck. The two leaders stared with their eyes wide open, and then each led 49 Dragon Guards away.

Captain Zuo: Oh my god, so exciting! After so many years of not killing anyone, the young master is indeed ruthless and merciless. Shenlong Island has a successor!

Right Captain: Woohoo, the young master is mighty and domineering, committing all kinds of evil, and the Dragon Guards are expected to rise...

The Dragon Guards: Kill them all, rob them all, burn them all. That’s great. There’s work to do if we follow the young master.

Shangguan Wei didn't know what the Dragon Guards were thinking. After arranging for them to leave, she jumped off the high wall and quietly walked forward along the middle road. Along the way, she followed the footsteps of the patrol boy and turned around and around, passing through two courtyards and gardens, and finally stopped in front of a gorgeous large courtyard. Shangguan Wei flipped into the courtyard, and with a few nimble jumps, she hid behind the rockery group in the small garden and looked up at the brightly lit room in front.

Judging from the luxury of this yard, there must be a lot of treasures hidden inside.

At this time, the ambiguous voices of a man and a woman were heard in the room, and they became louder and louder. Shangguan Wei's ears became hot and her face turned red. She rolled her eyes speechlessly, then covered her ears with her hands and turned to leave to the side path.

Following the guidance of the light, Shangguan Wei came to a large secret house with strict security. Eight guards were standing on the left and right sides at the bottom of the steps at the door of the house. They held long spears at their feet, with murderous looks in their eyes. They were obviously martial artists.

Shangguan Wei stood on a large tree branch, looking down at the situation around her. After a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Hehe! You think you can stump me with just this little bit of defense? Even though you are a martial artist, it's a piece of cake for me."

After saying that, he took out a packet of white powder from the space and grabbed it in his hand. He jumped down from the big tree from the back, came quietly behind the eight servants, and quickly sprinkled the white powder with both hands. A faint fragrance wafted by, and before the eight servants could react, they were attacked from the front by an afterimage. Each of them was hit hard and fainted on the ground at the same time with a "ah".

"Uh, that's it? He was knocked down by one punch. He can't stand the test. I really want to ask where he got this person. He's not even as good as a guard dog. At least a dog can bark a few times."

Shangguan Wei finished speaking and dusted off her hands, turned around and walked up the stairs, and soon stood at the door. There were two mechanical locks on the door, one large and one small. She picked up the large lock with her right hand and looked at it carefully, then laughed out loud, "Ha! This is a mother-and-child lock made by the Fourth Elder, how can it be difficult for me."

He took out a silver hairpin from his sleeve, inserted the pointed part into the small lock, twisted the hairpin head clockwise twice, and the big lock and the small lock opened at the same time.

With a sweet smile, he said, "Hey, hey! It's easy, baby, I'm here to pamper you."

He pushed the door open and stepped into the room, only to find that there was another door closed. He frowned and said, "What kind of treasure is this? There is actually a door within a door. It really arouses my curiosity."

There was no lock on the door, only a square with black numbers from one to nine written on it, imitating the setup of an ATM. Only by entering the correct password could the door be opened. Shangguan Wei looked at it and laughed, "It's not difficult to show off your skills in front of a master of mechanisms. It's a piece of cake." She took out a small magnetic bead from the black cloth bag and placed it on the square.

The small magnetic bead passed in front of the four numbers, and the door opened. Shangguan Wei pushed the door open, but she didn't see the expected treasure. She only saw a white iron cage in the middle of the room, with a white fox curled up in the corner. The footsteps woke the white fox up, and it looked up at Shangguan Wei with pleading eyes, and spread out its beautiful nine tails, shaking from time to time, as if saying, "Save me!"

Shangguan Wei approached the white iron cage and exclaimed, "Wow! I see a live nine-tailed white fox. You are so beautiful! Why are you locked in a cage? You are so pitiful. I will rescue you. Please follow me from now on."

The nine-tailed white fox's eyes were moist, and it looked at Shangguan Wei pitifully, motioning her to get a little closer. Shangguan Wei was attracted by some kind of magic, and stretched out her right hand to touch the nine-tailed white fox's head. When she was about to get close, her thumb was bitten by the sharp teeth, and a drop of blood flowed into the nine-tailed white fox's mouth. Then a voice came from Shangguan Wei's mind.

"Master, woo woo! Xiaobai finally found you."

Shangguan Wei was a little shocked. "What! Little guy knows me? Have you been looking for me for a long time?"

"Master, I am your space elf. I got separated from you for some reason, and was captured because I lost all my magic power. Fortunately, you came to save me, and now I am finally reunited with you."

The nine-tailed white fox dodged over the iron bar, lightly jumped onto Shangguan Wei's shoulder, and rubbed her left cheek. "After sucking the master's blood, Xiaobai has recovered some of his magic power. This is not a good place. Master, let's leave here quickly!"

A long-lost sense of familiarity came over Shangguan Wei, and she nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's leave here first and talk in detail, but I won't let the people who imprisoned you go, and they must pay the price."

"I'm so touched. The master is still so vindictive and treats Xiaobai the best as always."
