Xue Wenyu looked at her and said, "The good-looking man you mentioned must be Ximen Hong."

“Ximen Hong? Who is that?” Mu Yingbao still couldn’t remember.

Seeing his wife standing in front of him intact and not frightened at all, Xue Wenyu suddenly smiled. "It's the Prince of Xiyue."

"What? The prince of Xiyue Kingdom? But why would his people kidnap me?" Mu Yingbao was even more confused.

Xue Wenyu didn't know how to tell her after hearing that. After all, he only knew that the Prince of Xiyue came to Yan State many times because he was looking for someone.

But this time, Ximen Hong actually went to where she lived.

Plus, she was kidnapped again this time. It seems that this is not a coincidence. It is possible that they are targeting her.

While waiting for Xue Wenyu to answer, Mu Yingbao was also thinking about it. Suddenly, his eyes widened. "Oh, I remember now. You said that he went directly to Yuan Town this time. Luan Town is where Mu Yingbao's original body used to live. After Mu Yingbao came here, he also lived there for a few years. Luan Town was originally called Luan Town, and its predecessor was Luan Village.

I don’t know if this Yuan Town is particularly attractive because of its feng shui.

Refugees who were forced to leave their homes due to disasters in their families, or those who had enough of the life in the underworld and wanted to retire here to live a stable life, all stopped here.

More and more people lived there, and more and more houses were built. The originally small village was actually turned into a town by the government.

However, all the government could do about it was to change its name.

As for the rest, there is no way to control it because most people simply won’t listen.

If you use force against them, you may end up having your head chopped off by someone one night.

The higher-ups sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find any useful clues.

After several officials were killed in succession, there was finally one who was lucky enough to wear his official robe and sit in the yamen with his head held steady.

This person is very smart. He privately reduced the taxes of the people under his jurisdiction by half. He said that he understands that you have a hard time and will pay a little, so that he can give an explanation to the higher-ups.

When the people here heard this, they thought so too. With so many people in a place, the higher-ups couldn't just sit there and do nothing. They must station an official here.

Kill one and another will come. It's not a solution to keep going like this.

After all, everyone's original intention is to live a stable life, right?

As a result, half of the original standard tax was paid in full, which was very respectful.

The county magistrate turned around and reported to his superiors that the people here were really difficult to discipline. He had to persuade and appease them with great sincerity, while trying to save his own life, and finally collected half of the original tax.

He said that he could only do this if he asked for some leniency from his superiors. If not, he would have to resign and go home to grow sweet potatoes.

The higher-ups were fully aware of Yuan Zhen's affairs, and after discussing it, they nodded in agreement.

It's better to collect half than to collect nothing at all.

Besides, at least the newly appointed county magistrate is still alive and has received taxes.

Therefore, the higher-ups did not continue to argue about it.

As a result, Piao Town finally became stable.

There were no more killings of officials, and no other murders occurred, which made the people above them feel less worried.

When Xue Wenyu first learned that Ximen Hong was going to Hao County this time, his first bad feeling was that it might have something to do with his wife.

Then, he thought he was overthinking. Yuan County was a place full of hidden talents. Who knew if the person Ximen Hong was looking for had also changed his name and was hiding there?

Now, I can finally be sure that this guy is here for my wife!

Although he didn't know the exact reason yet, Xue Wenyu didn't want it to happen no matter what it was.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so dedicated and risked my life to escort him back to Xiyue.

In that case, at least this time, something like this shouldn't have happened.

Xue Wenyu felt that everything that happened to his wife this time was because of him, so he felt full of guilt and regret when looking at her.

"By the way, what's going on?" Xue Wenyu pointed at the stable.

Mu Yingbao looked in the direction of his hand and saw a carriage; "I don't know about this either. They suddenly appeared at night and took me away. Then, not long ago, they told me that we would meet again and left. Look, you arrived just as they left." "What does the leader look like? What are his facial features?" Xue Wenyu asked curiously.

Since he had snatched her from the Crown Prince of Xiyue, but kept her like this, judging by the time, he should have known that he was about to arrive with his men.

So they let her go because they were afraid they were no match for her?

Or, are they here to help themselves save people?

But, if he was going to save someone, why was he so secretive? He had a sullen face and left early?

Mu Yingbao told without hesitation that there was one thing, which was the other person's voice. She seemed to have heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

"Brother Yu, how about you arrange for someone to secretly enter the Western Yue Kingdom to investigate? Focus on investigating the people who are closest to the Western Yue Crown Prince.

His mother, his father, is there a possibility that, for some reason, they have a daughter who is living among the people?" Mu Yingbao said seriously.

"You mean, maybe you are the sister of the Prince of Xiyue? A princess of Xiyue who is living abroad?" Xue Wenyu asked with a smile.

Mu Yingbao didn't laugh, but nodded seriously. "Yes, the Prince of Xiyue is older than me, so there shouldn't be any possibility of replacing the child."

Xue Wenyu stopped laughing when he heard this, even though he felt that she was joking.

But it's not impossible!

"Arrange to find Gang Leader Kong and tell him that his wife has been found. Also, tell him that the one who kidnapped his wife was the Crown Prince of Xiyue." Xue Wenyu turned and said to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan responded, jumped on his horse, and rode away.

Xue Wenyu arranged for people to follow the road ahead to investigate. No matter whether these people were enemies or friends, they had to find out who they were.

After making all the arrangements, he turned around and looked at his wife, only to see her looking at his mount.

"Want to ride a horse?" he asked.

If my wife wants to ride, I'll take her for a ride. It's a good season now.

Mu Yingbao shook his head; "Brother Yu, I'm hungry, don't you have anything to eat?"

After hearing this, Xue Wenyu felt heartbroken.

When we catch those two gangs, put aside the beating and killing for now, and starve them for a few days to give them some food to eat, then we can talk about other things.

The treasure that he held in his heart was actually...
