The ministers suddenly turned around and looked at the birthmarked version of "Ao Qi" who was still kneeling on the ground. The tremor in their eyes almost solidified into substance.

"You—Mmmmm!!" Are you bullying me?!

Are you deceiving the emperor in front of Emperor Mingze, whose face is full of "kingly domineering"? ! !

How dare you? ! ! !

Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao pointed at the other party with trembling hands. As soon as he shouted one syllable, Lu Yao next to him quickly covered his mouth.

"Ao Qi" looked up with a puzzled look at the high-ranking official in the capital who had just spoken.

Lu Yao's face changed, and he patted Jiao Hongmiao's back twice, saying in an exaggerated tone, "Hey, Mr. Jiao, I know you are hungry. We only have two cases left to judge. Please be patient, be patient!"

Jiao Hongmiao: “…”

Jiao Hongmiao's eyes turned and he stared at Lu Yao for a long while. Although he couldn't accept this reason, he finally calmed down.

He smiled with a fake smile, and said loudly: "Okay, then I will be patient for a while!"

Ao Qi's strange eyes lingered on Jiao Hongmiao's slightly swollen belly for a moment, and he said guiltily: "It is my fault that I delayed your meal..."

Jiao Hongmiao: “…”

What does that look mean to you?

What do you mean by that look?!

Kill you ahhhh!!

Jiang Yingcheng was actually a little hungry. Not only hungry, but also a little tired.

After they had lunch at noon, they rested for a short while before returning here again. While upholding justice for the righteous people here, they also selected a number of useful talents for her handsome father.

Although she was very tired, she was always very happy.

but--

[You lied to Cheng Cheng?!]

Then Cheng Cheng will not forgive him! !

Jiang Yingcheng's cheeks puffed up with anger, and he immediately immersed himself in the information about the real Ao Qi in front of him, trying to find any clues about this person.

【Chengcheng is going to fight with you! 】

Because this person had been with Ao Qi for almost half of his life, Jiang Yingcheng only took a moment to find the relevant information about this person, and then, he subconsciously repeated it in his heart -

[Xun Xing, because of a brown mark on his face, was considered by his fellow villagers to be the reincarnation of an evil spirit. Hmm... his parents died early, and his family property was divided up by his uncles, so he could only beg for a living. Later, Ao Qi's family saw how pitiful he was and took him home to educate him.]

[In the first few years, the family atmosphere was very harmonious. Ao Qi's parents really treated Xun Xing as their own son, and Xun Xing was very grateful for their kindness, but...]

Jiang Yingcheng suddenly took a deep breath and was shocked by what he saw next: [How could there be such a bad person?!]

The ministers understood clearly.

The story of the farmer and the snake is not common, but it is not difficult to understand.

The older the adopted children get, the more they feel that their adoptive parents will naturally favor their biological children, and this leads to jealousy and resentment.

Plus, Xun Xing is hiding his identity, and wants to find out the whereabouts of the heirloom...

Although the little ones didn't say it explicitly, they almost guessed what would happen next.

After his adoptive parents passed away, they left the family heirloom to the real Ao Qi, but the fake Xun Xing planned to kill people and rob them - in the end, he killed the person but couldn't find the treasure.

Sure enough, the next moment when everyone's thoughts came to an end, the little guy's voice confirmed their guess.

[…But, the heirloom had already been handed over to Xun Xing a long time ago—]

[That was a treasure map. Ao Qi had already sewed the piece of cloth embroidered with the treasure map into the purse he gave him!]

[But after Xun Xing schemed to kill Ao Qi, he casually threw the purse into the cave where he temporarily rested. The cave was nearby, uh——]

Jiang Yingcheng's expression froze suspiciously for a moment.

[Huh? ! ! ]

She reacted belatedly, and her inner voice suddenly became shrill and loud: [Treasure map? ! ! ! ]

[He threw away Cheng Cheng's treasure map?! ]

All the clear-minded people present were startled by the sudden increase in the volume of the inner voice.

After the heartbeat calmed down, there were waves of secret joy again!

After spending so much time with the little ones, they had somewhat picked up on each other's hobby of treasure hunting.

Especially when they thought about how they had just shared several boxes of gold and silver because of the little guy's hobby, everyone's breathing became much faster!

Where is the purse? Where is the cave? Where is their treasure? !

In their excitement, they didn't even realize that the little guy had already "taken the treasure map for himself."

Jiang Yanchuan paused as he tapped the round table with his fingertips, and a bit of interest arose in his heart.

A while ago, he spent a lot of gold and silver on purchasing real estate, so let's not count the money in his private treasury... He would have to find a way to compensate the concubines and court officials for what they spent.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yanchuan raised his head and winked at Yu Xingmian opposite him.

Yu Xingmian: “…”

There is something I don’t know whether to say or not.

He has not been in the palace for that long, and he has not yet mastered the skill of analyzing dozens of thoughts from Emperor Mingze's cold face.

but--

He also has his own ideas.

The distant mountains are covered with clouds. Even if the little guy has the help of "Brother Tong", it still takes a lot of effort for them to find that place.

Fortunately, there is a ready-made guide here.

"Ao Qi," Yu Xingmian lowered his head and looked at Xun Xing with an extremely sincere look, "Are you mentally ill?"

Xun Xing: “…”

The ministers present: "..."

...You who are involved in the "evil cult" always speak directly?

Xun Xing's face instantly turned slightly red with anger: "What do you mean, sir?!"

"The family heirloom is extremely precious. It is true that I was wrong for not keeping it properly, but you also--" You can't insult me ​​like this!

Yu Xingmian raised his hand to stop Xun Xing's long speech: "I mean, have you ever had a head injury?"

Xun Xing: “???”

Do you think that will make it better?!

"No!" Xun Xing's eyes were about to spit fire, "If I have done anything to displease you, sir, please -"

"If not," Yu Xingmian spoke again, interrupting the other party's angry voice once again, "then how could you forget that you sealed the heirloom in the inner layer of the purse you gave to Xun Xing?"

The expression on Xun Xing's face disappeared immediately, and all the resentment in his heart was condensed into one sentence -

"what?"

Yu Xingmian was still as gentle and elegant as ever: "So, is there something wrong with your brain?"

The ministers present: "..."

Xun Xing came back to his senses: "..."

"……Have."
