Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Baili Ye nodded and responded softly:

"Well, but now that we are here, we can't just sit back and do nothing. We have to find a way to uncover the evil deeds of this second-in-command and restore peace to the canal transportation industry."

Qing He nodded slightly, "That's right, but we don't know the situation here well enough at the moment, so we can't act rashly."

The two paid for the meal and returned to the room to discuss countermeasures.

"We have to first find out the situation on the boss' side to see if we can find some useful clues." Baili Ye suggested.

Qing He thought for a moment and said, "Well, but we can't go there openly, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Then let's go tonight." Baili Ye continued.

As night fell, Qinghe and Baili Ye changed into night clothes, activated the teleportation function after entering the space, sneaked out of the inn silently, and found the Huang Mansion according to the location given by the old man.

They entered the Huang Mansion and found it very quiet, with almost no one walking around. They headed straight for the main house and found that the lights in one room were on.

The two of them teleported in, but unexpectedly encountered an infuriating scene.

Inside the room, a man was lying quietly on the bed.

A shivering girl huddled back into a corner, looking in horror at the man approaching her.

Her face was filled with fear, tears kept flowing, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "Cui Hao, don't come over here! You devil!"

The man called Cui Hao had a ferocious look on his face and a lewd smile on his face.

"Hmph, your father has become a living dead, who do you expect to save you? Just obey me obediently, and you will have a good life in the future." Cui Hao approached step by step with a lewd smile.

Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at each other and it seemed that this girl was the boss’s daughter Huang Mingyan.

She said to Cui Hao fiercely:

"Don't even think about it. Even if I die, I will never follow a beast in human form like you."

Cui Hao stepped forward, pinched Huang Mingyan's chin, and said viciously:

"Hmph, it's none of your business! You have to obey tonight even if you don't want to!"

As he said this, he moved forward and was about to attack Huang Mingyan.

"Ah, Cui Hao, you beast, let me go. Help~~~~"

At this moment, Qinghe took out a stone from the space and smashed it at the window. With a "bang", Cui Hao's action was interrupted.

He turned his head and looked out the window. "Who? Who's outside?"

After saying that, he stood up, glanced at Huang Mingyan, and said unwillingly:

"I'll let you go today. You'll end up in my hands sooner or later. Humph~~~~"

After saying that, Cui Hao flicked his sleeves and left the room.

After Cui Hao left the room, Qing He and Bai Li Ye emerged from their hiding places. Huang Mingyan stared at them with wide eyes in fear.

Qing He said softly: "Don't be afraid, girl. We are here to help you."

Huang Mingyan's eyes flashed with doubt, but she slowly stopped crying and asked cautiously:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Baili Ye explained simply:

"We came here today to inquire about the canal transportation. We heard about what happened to the boss and you, so we came to investigate. We didn't expect to see this scene tonight.

We heard some insiders and the surrounding people talk a lot about the canal transportation. We learned that Cui Hao usually took advantage of his position as the second in command to not only oppress the workers, but also enrich himself, making the canal transportation a mess. "

Huang Mingyan bit her lip and said after a moment's hesitation: "Can you really help me?"

Qinghe nodded:

"This is Prince Chen, I am Princess Jiahe, we will do our best to help you. But you still need to tell us what happened when you fell to the ground?"

When Huang Mingyan heard that Baili Ye was the King of Chen, hope instantly ignited. She knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed:

"Your Highness Prince Chen, please save me, save our Huang family!

That Cui Hao colluded with outsiders to make my father sick, threatened me to marry him with my father's life, placed us under house arrest in the mansion, and forced me to hand over the grain transport seal.

I know the importance of the seal. As long as I give it to him, my father, the entire Huang family and I will be destroyed in Cui Hao's hands.

By then, the entire water transport system will become a tool for Cui Hao and others to make money.

I gritted my teeth and didn't hand it over, which saved my father's life.

Despite this, Cui Hao became more and more unscrupulous by relying on his identity and the people behind him.

Not only did he want to occupy me, he also attempted to seize my family's property.

He was a tyrant in the canal transport business, bullying men and women, and the workers and merchants were miserable, but no one dared to speak out. "Huang Mingyan cried.

Qing He quickly helped her up and comforted her:

"Don't worry, young lady. The prince will definitely seek justice for you. Please tell me in detail what evil things Cui Hao has done."

Huang Mingyan wiped her tears and began to recount Cui Hao's various evil deeds, from withholding workers' wages to secretly reselling grain transport materials, exploiting merchants' interests, robbing women, and colluding with local officials to commit crimes.

After hearing this, Qing He said angrily: "This Cui Hao is really too abominable. We must not let him continue to do evil."

Baili Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"We have to think long-term. We have to punish Cui Hao, but we also have to not alert the enemy, lest the forces behind him take action.

Miss Huang, do you know the power behind Cui Hao?" Baili Ye asked Huang Mingyan.

Huang Mingyan pondered for a moment and said:

“I don’t know the power behind him, I only know there’s a Beijing official behind him.

I remember that the day before my father fell ill, he had a big quarrel with Cui Hao, which seemed to be related to the canal transportation. But my father fell ill again the next day. From then on, Cui Hao took over the canal gang and controlled everything.

Cui Hao has been keeping my father alive. Besides the seal, he must be looking for something else."

Qing He nodded and said, "It seems that in addition to collecting evidence, we also have to wake up the boss as soon as possible."

Baili Ye agreed and said, "Xiao He, it looks like I have to trouble you again."

Qing He smiled and said, "Why are you arguing with me? Don't worry, leave it to me."

After saying that, Qinghe walked to Huang Mingyan's father's bed and carefully checked his condition.

Qinghe placed his hand on the boss's pulse, turned on the space medical system, and began scanning.

After a series of diagnostic tests, the system concluded that the cause of the illness was poisoning.

Qinghe used the spiritual spring water from the space to give the boss a detoxification pill, and then gave him acupuncture on several important acupoints. Huang Mingyan's father slowly woke up.

Huang Mingyan was so excited that tears filled her eyes and she rushed to her father's bedside.

The boss looked at his daughter and wanted to raise his hand to touch her hair.

But he didn't raise his hand, he could only smile and say weakly: "Yan'er, don't cry, Dad is fine."

Then he looked at Baili Ye and Qing He in the room and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Huang Mingyan quickly wiped her tears and said, "Dad, they are here to help us. This is His Royal Highness Prince Chen, and this is Princess Jiahe. It was Princess Jiahe who woke you up just now."

When the boss heard this, he struggled to stand up and salute. Baili Ye quickly stepped forward to hold him down and said:

"Don't be so polite, Boss. It's more important to rest and recuperate."
