Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

As soon as he got off the boat, Tao Jiuxi saw Jiang Shun at a glance.

"Jiang Shun!" Tao Jiuxi immediately smiled and waved excitedly.

"Miss, long time no see." Jiang Shun had also seen Tao Jiuxi a long time ago, and responded with the same enthusiasm, his face full of joy.

When they approached, Jiang Shun immediately bowed respectfully: "My Lord, my Lord, and the General of the Central Army. May the young lady be well."

"Jiang Shun, long time no see." Ji Qingyi also nodded enthusiastically.

As soon as Shen Zhiyi saw Jiang Shun, his expression immediately became serious and he asked with a sharp gaze.

"Tell me, what's going on here?"

"A few days ago, a bloody rain fell in the city, falling in four different directions. Now the people in the city are in a state of panic, and they all say it's a punishment from heaven."

"Any clues?" Shen Zhiyi asked.

"It was already evening. It rained for a while and then it got dark. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The next day, I saw many puddles in the city that were blood-red." Jiang Shun recalled the scene at that time and spoke in detail.

"Is there anything else?"

"Some people even saw it with their own eyes. At night, a white shadow flew through the air like a ghost. It was said that the scene was very scary, and many people witnessed it."

Shen Zhiyi frowned, a sharp look flashing in his eyes: "Mystification! What are these things pointing to?"

"They are all directed at... the current emperor." Jiang Shun looked embarrassed, but still said it.

"Have you taken any countermeasures?"

"We've already asked the local government to arrest some of the ringleaders, but they seemed to have been prepared. No sooner had we arrested a few than strange phenomena started popping up one after another. The people are in a panic, and our current actions have had little effect." Jiang Shun sighed helplessly and continued, his words filled with a sense of powerlessness.

After saying this, several people walked towards the carriage that Jiang Shun had prepared in advance and got on the carriage one by one.

"Master, I chose the inn in the city because these strange phenomena have appeared in different places in the city. By arranging the inn here, once there is a situation anywhere, we can rush to the scene conveniently and quickly as soon as possible." Jiang Shun explained respectfully to the people in the car.

"Yeah." Shen Zhiyi just responded softly.

Seeing that the two were discussing serious matters, Tao Jiuxi stood aside quietly without saying a word.

Seeing her so quiet, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little worried, and asked with concern: "Are you scared after hearing these things?"

"Me? I'm not afraid. These are just some trivial tricks. As long as we investigate carefully, we can definitely solve them." Tao Jiuxi responded.

"Qingyi and I will go check it out tomorrow. I'll let Jiang Shun take you to play nearby." Shen Zhiyi felt a little relieved when he saw that Tao Jiuxi was not afraid at all.

He knew that Tao Jiuxi and Jiang Shun got along well, and Jiang Shun was also very skilled in martial arts, so he felt most at ease letting Jiang Shun accompany Tao Jiuxi.

"Okay." Tao Jiuxi agreed happily.

"Jiang Shun, the emperor has appointed me as the Princess of Anping County. This time I need to check out the orphanages in every city along the way. Why don't you accompany me to check them out tomorrow?" Tao Jiuxi felt that he should finish his business before playing.

"The girl is talented and capable. She absolutely deserves the title of county lord." Jiang Shun immediately gave her a thumbs up and praised her sincerely.

Jiang Shun adheres to the principle that "if you flatter Tao Jiuxi well, you will get delicious food."

Then, several people began to discuss the strange things in the city. Tao Jiuxi listened silently and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside.

She found that although there were still pedestrians on the street, they all looked more or less nervous and uneasy.

It seems that the situation in Yulong City is more serious than imagined.

Although she knew that these strange phenomena were man-made, she didn't know how they were done specifically. She could only wait for Shen Zhiyi and others to catch the perpetrators in the act to find out.

Since she couldn't help, she didn't want to cause trouble.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house through the cracks in the window.

Tao Jiuxi woke up slowly, stood up and looked around, but Shen Zhiyi was no longer by his side.

She finished washing up leisurely, and when she opened the door, she found that Jiang Shun had been waiting outside.

"Miss, you're awake. This place is not peaceful, so the master specifically told me to wait for you here." Jiang Shun said respectfully.

"Then you should move a stool and sit down. It's so tiring to just stand and wait like this." Tao Jiuxi said a little embarrassedly. She didn't know that Jiang Shun was waiting outside the door, so she washed up so leisurely.

"It's cool to just stand there and wait!" Jiang Shun answered seriously.

"Oh? Then let me see what posture you were in while waiting for me here. I want to see what posture looks handsome." Tao Jiuxi looked curious.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shun immediately held the sword in front of him, leaned back slightly against the door, lowered his head slightly, and struck a pose that he thought was very cool.

"puff."

Tao Jiuxi couldn't help laughing out loud: "If someone passing by saw you in this posture, wouldn't they laugh to death?"

"Don't worry, young lady. We are the only ones staying in this inn. The master and the General of the Household left early in the morning. No one will laugh at me." Jiang Shun answered honestly.

"Okay, I'll try not to laugh either. Let's set sail and go now."

After having breakfast outside, the two went straight to the local orphanage.

They used the excuse that they had picked up a child and were currently placing him at home, planning to send him to the orphanage, so they first checked out the environment there.

After a quick inspection, I found that the orphanage was not large and the environment was not satisfactory, but the children inside looked very happy.

Tao Jiuxi took the opportunity to ask a few of the more attractive children and learned that they had been here for several years and that no child would disappear without a reason. The nurseries and uncles at the orphanage would take them to the fields to do some light farm work, and the children's lives were quite fulfilling.

On the way back, Tao Jiuxi recorded in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the orphanage, the number of children and other relevant information in the booklet he prepared.

Before leaving, she donated one hundred taels of silver out of her own pocket, hoping to improve the lives of the children here.

When they returned to the city, it was still early, so Tao Jiuxi started strolling on the streets.

The streets here are not much different from other places, except that there are a lot of places selling weapons in Yulong City.

Not only are there many shops specializing in selling weapons, but there are also many weapon stalls on the streets.
