"What is your name?"

"How old are you? Where are you from?"

"What do you do for a living? How many people are there in your family? What do you do for a living?"

The upstart was like a big quail, curled up on the chair in the interrogation room.

"I...my name is Gao...Chuan, I'm thirty-seven years old, still unmarried, from Beijing...Beijing..." He stammered as he answered the interrogator's questions.

At this time, Wen Xun came over and happened to hear this. He laughed, "Aren't you from Shanzhou? Can you make someone disappear by stomping your feet?"

The upstart Gao Chuan blushed, looking extremely embarrassed after being exposed. "This, this, sir, are you kidding me?"

Wen Xun didn't miss the hint of cruelty in his eyes. Seeing that he didn't intend to tell the truth, he gave up. "Come here, lock him up. Extorting money from people in the street is not a small crime."

When the jailer escorted him back to the cell, the big man Lu Jingchen received a look from his master, "Sir, this matter is neither big nor small. What are you going to sentence me to?"

"What else can we say? He looks like a thug who came from nowhere. Just lock him up. If the quarry needs laborers, we can just send him there to fill the gap. I don't think anyone will come to seek justice for him."

"You are the wisest, sir!"

Speaking of which, this Lu Jingchen is very good at pretending to be stupid, and he is also very good at pretending to be a servile lackey. It would be a pity if he didn't play a supporting role.

As expected, the upstart was deceived. He was sweating profusely and said, "Sir, I said I lost my memory before. Do you believe me?"

"I just remembered it all."

Everyone present was amused by him. Wen Xun believed that he had never seen a second person who told lies so seriously in his life. The first one was Zhao Mingyue.

"Oh? You've lost your memory." Wen Xun sat back down with interest, pinching his chin as he looked the upstart up and down. "Do you remember it now?"

"When did you think of it?"

"Or did you hear me say I was sending you to the quarry?"

The upstart was a ruthless man, and he was still playing tricks on Wen Xun. "Hey, when you had me sent to the cell, I remembered it, hahaha."

Wen Xun: "Oh, okay, Gao Tianba, tell me your story."

The upstart, oh no, Gao Tianba was hunched over with his head down at this time, and was dragged to the interrogation chair by the jailer.

"You already know everything." He raised his head with a wicked smile on his face, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Wen Xun was a little shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. "I want to know where you put the account book and those things."

……

It turned out that ever since Gao Tianba first said, "In Shanzhou, I can make people disappear with just one word," Lord Wen had been keeping an eye on him and asked Mingyue's secret guard to send a message to the emperor.

After all, this person is the notorious prefect of Shanzhou.

When the top scholar Wang Ken asked to be sent out to other places, Jiang Hetang gave him several places to choose from, and he chose Shanzhou at first sight.

In his memory of his previous life, this "conscientious" prefect of Shanzhou was not exposed for crimes such as "bullying men and women", "murder and arson", "high taxation", "collusion with foreign races", and "intending to establish the independence of Shanzhou" until his death.

Now, in his new life, he wanted to strike first and expose this man's crimes one by one. But unexpectedly, he ran away so fast. Even more unexpectedly, he actually ran to the feet of the emperor.

Jiang Hetang told Mingyue about this matter. After all, she was more or less involved in it.

Mingyue's eyes opened wide, and her mouth shaped like a big egg. "Oh my God, Gao Tianba is too arrogant. He took advantage of the distance of Shanzhou and did such a ridiculous thing!"

"Yes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there is so much darkness growing in places I can't see." Jiang Hetang's words were full of sorrow and self-mockery.

"Uncle, you are good enough! You are the best emperor I have ever seen." Mingyue hugged Jiang Hetang's neck, the little guy, and held him tightly in her arms.

"Thank you, Xiao Mingyue. Uncle hopes to be a very good uncle, and also a very good father, son, and emperor."

"Isn't my uncle too greedy?"

Mingyue pinched his face and said, "Uncle, wake up. You are doing well in every aspect!"

"Really?"

"real!"

She patted Jiang Hetang's shoulder, signaling that she was getting off. Then, she rubbed her hands on her dress without leaving any trace... She had just touched Jiang Hetang, and her hands were covered in oil...

Jiang Hetang, also in a place where Mingyue couldn't see, glanced over and rubbed his face vigorously. "This girl! She ate the candy cake without washing her hands, and it's all stuck to my face."

As expected, these two are uncle and nephew, and there is some love between them, but not much.

"Uncle, this Wang Ken, Lord Wang, is quite capable. It's only been a few years, but he has achieved such political achievements!" Mingyue didn't have much impression of him except for the incident in the book where he ate Yuan Tianzhen's family and wiped out her family. She didn't expect that he was really good at being an official.

"Yes, I asked him what reward he wanted, and he just said that he would devote himself to the country until his death." After saying that, Jiang Hetang sighed, "With such a virtuous minister, what more could you ask for?"

Mingyue's mind kept flashing through the various details Jiang Hetang had described, and suddenly a question popped up, "Uncle, Gao Tianba, logically speaking, should be a very scheming person, so how did he appear in the capital like this?"

Jiang Hetang gave an expression that said, "You're still young and you don't understand." "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

Mingyue's mind flashed back to the day when Gao Tianba stood at the door of Lin's Antique Shop. His arrogant face did not look like a criminal who was hiding from the court.

"But I still feel something is wrong..." Mingyue frowned, "Uncle, can I go see Gao Tianba?"

"No, that prison is not a place for a little brat like you to go. Besides, Gao Tianba is not a good person."

"Uncle! I want to go and take a look!"

"No, this is not negotiable."

Mingyue was drooping. She sat on the bench, watching the clouds rolling outside the window. Just then, Huan Ge'er poked his head out of the doorway and said, "Sister."

Mingyue's dazed eyes quickly locked onto the direction of the little voice. She stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Huan'er! Why are you here? Did you come here by yourself? Are you tired? Are you thirsty?"

Huan Ge'er shook his head happily. My sister cares about me so much. She asked me a series of questions and only asked me one question.

"I came here with my mother. She's still behind us. I heard my sister was here, so I trotted over." He tilted his head back, his face covered in beads of sweat, and clearly read, "Praise me, praise me!"

Mingyue knew how to give value to emotions. "Wow! Huan Ge'er is awesome! He's so awesome! He can run faster than your aunt! He'll definitely grow up to be a big man and protect me, your sister, right?"

Huan Ge'er's face flushed red as he nodded excitedly, "Yeah, I definitely will! I want to eat well! Sleep well! Grow tall! And protect my sister forever."

Jiang Hetang, with a frown on his face: This girl is always making big promises to my son.

Yuan Tianzhen: That’s right, that’s right, that’s it.
