The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 718 Clues, Manual for Entering and Leaving the Valley

Wei Bo was terrified and his ears were stretched tight.

"Well, that's right." Ye Xiaohan said lightly. Wei Bai finally got smarter, and his words touched his heart.

These words sounded like heavenly music to Wei Bo's ears.

Wei Bai was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"

Then he used his elbows to hit Wei Song and Du Ziheng left and right, with a proud look in his eyes as if saying, "Did you see that? This is my ability! Only a talented person like me deserves the appreciation of the prince and princess."

"Damn it, I'm jealous." Wei Song's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and he looked at Wei Bo with indignant eyes. Wei Bo's mouth was as cunning as if it was covered with lard!

Ye Xiaohan ignored Wei Bai and his gang of naughty boys, put down the teacup, turned his head and asked Yun Mujiu seriously - "Mumu, we are the most suitable for each other, right?"

"Of course! The prince and I are the best match!" Facing the childish Ye Xiaohan and such a pair of deep and gentle eyes, what else could Yun Mujiu say.

Even though they have different personalities, they can complement each other. And they have many things in common. Regardless of differences or commonalities, they are the best match!

At that time, a group of men in black rode back to the Night King's Palace on horses, and they brought back some extremely important news!

After Yun Mujiu finished talking about what happened in the palace, the man in black returned to Prince Ye’s Mansion.

A guard reported: "Your Majesty, a group of Hanying Guards have returned from Duti Valley."

Ye Xiaohan said coldly, "Xuan."

When Du Ziheng heard "Du Di Gu", he couldn't hide his excitement. Finally, there was new news.

Four shadow guards quickly entered the room and saluted the Night King and his wife. Their stern faces showed some vicissitudes of life, silently announcing their travels.

"Stand up." Ye Xiaohan raised his hand and said.

The four shadow guards stood up, and the leading shadow guard bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. We are a few days later than the estimated return time in the letter."

"No problem." Ye Xiaohan glanced at the shadow guards and said, "Tell me, what information have you found?"

The shadow guard took out the letter from his arms and told them the clues he had found.

Six years ago, Du Ziheng worked in Du Digu's pharmacy. He suddenly fainted and woke up to find himself a thief who stole from the pharmacy. The pharmacy was in a mess, and most of Du Digu's years of hard work were destroyed.

Worse still, the ancient medical skills and rare medicines in the dark room of the pharmacy were all gone, and the unconscious Du Ziheng had the residue of the lost medicines in his mouth and on his body.

Du Ziheng thus became the object of suspicion. Several elders forced Du Ziheng to question him, believing that Du Ziheng had been poisoned in the dark room, and that the medical books and herbs in the dark room had been smuggled out of the valley by Du Ziheng and outsiders.

In order to conceal himself, Du Ziheng chose to stay in the medicine room, but he inhaled the poisonous smoke in the dark room and soon became unconscious. In order to save himself, Du Ziheng took some strange medicine hidden on his body, and then fell into a coma.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu questioned the details of the incident and believed that someone had framed Du Ziheng, and Du Ziheng became the scapegoat.

Ye Xiaohan sent a team to Duti Valley, intending to start the investigation from outsiders who had the opportunity to contact Duti Valley. Farmers who traded with Duti Valley every year became the focus of the investigation.

With the clues provided by Du Ziheng, Han Yingwei found a register of people coming into and out of Duti Valley from a large farmer. Then, Yingwei secretly visited the area near Duti Valley and checked numerous farmers.

During this period, we took the year seven years ago as a time node and checked several years earlier and later, but no major abnormalities were found.

In addition, most of the farmers who had traded with Duti Valley seven years ago had no problems, except for one who disappeared inexplicably.

The problem most likely lies with this person.

While listening to the leader of the shadow guards, Ye Xiaohan was flipping through the copy of the registration book for entering and leaving the Duti Valley in his hand.

"Has the identity of the missing person been found?"

The leader nodded and said calmly, "Your Highness, that man's name is Sun Yong, and he is an old farmer in the mountains. He has no father, no mother, no wife, and no children. The nearby villagers all testified that Sun Yong has no relatives."

"Sun Yong has been an honest farmer for many years. He grew a lot of food by himself and traded with Duti Valley every few years. The year when Doctor Du was framed and left Duti Valley, Sun Yong disappeared inexplicably."

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows, "Is there something wrong with the person who suddenly disappeared?"

The leader replied, "My subordinates visited the village where Sun Yong lived, and the villagers speculated that Sun Yong might have met with an accident. Sun Yong's village is deep in the mountains and forests, the environment is rather rugged, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and the mountain roads are also rather rugged. Sun Yong might have been killed by a wild beast, or fell off a cliff."

Ye Xiao said coldly: "If the person is really dead, then there is no evidence."

Then he ordered: "Send more people, and make a copy of Sun Yong's portrait at the same time. With Duti Valley as the center, continue to expand the search area outwards."

"Yes, I obey!"

Ye Xiaohan handed the manual to Du Ziheng, "Have you ever seen who Sun Yong is?"

Du Ziheng thought about it carefully for a long time, then shook his head helplessly: "I have no impression of Sun Yong. Every year when farmers deliver food and grass to the valley, I am often sent to carry the food and grass. But according to the shadow guard, Sun Yong only trades with Duti Valley every few years. Maybe I never meet him, so I have never seen him."

Ye Xiaohan was lost in thought, and Yun Mujiu asked, "Du Ziheng, seven years ago, when Du Digu was moving the newly purchased grain and grass, were you involved?"

"My princess, I have been carrying food and fodder every year for several years before seven years ago. However, the elders did not assign me the task of carrying food and fodder that year seven years ago."

Ye Xiaohan's eyes lit up slightly. Mu Mu's question gave him some inspiration. He immediately asked Du Ziheng, "So, when we were busy transporting food and grass in the autumn valley, you were assigned to watch over the medicine room?"

"Yes." Du Ziheng frowned. After hearing the questions from the prince and princess, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

"According to the duty roster, I was not supposed to be on duty in the pharmacy during those days. But a few of my fellow apprentices had other things to do, so I was transferred to take over."

"When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong." Ye Xiaohan said quietly.

Ye Xiaohan's words further alerted the people in the room to think, and the fog on the road to the truth seemed to be getting thinner and thinner...

Even though Duti Valley was a mysterious and isolated pharmacy in the Star-Moon Continent, in the eyes of the Night King, Duti Valley had nothing to fear.

When his subordinates suffered injustice, he wanted to seek justice.

Not only for Du Ziheng, but also for the Night Palace!
