The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

After leaving the antique shop and making sure that the person following her was no longer following her, Song Nian went to a high-priced gold recycling center and sold five gold ingots. The price of gold has skyrocketed recently. One gold ingot is equal to one tael of gold, and one tael of gold is 50 grams. When the teller told her that these five gold ingots weighed a total of grams, and the recycling price was , which means they could be sold for , Song Nian was already very shocked.

Because she still had piles of gold ingots at home.

Five hundred thousand plus one hundred and seventy thousand is not a small amount for her, a student who is about to go to high school, but it is still far from enough to support the tens of thousands of people on Qi Yu's side.

But Song Nian was not in a hurry to cash out all of her money at once, as this would cause her to be targeted by illegal platforms.

She first went to the bank to open a large deposit limit on her bank card, and then went to the seed wholesale center to wholesale seeds of cabbage, potatoes, eggplants, radishes, etc., which are easy to store.

When she returned to the villa after buying these, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. The vegetable farmer called and said that the ordered vegetables would be delivered at about two o'clock in the morning. She seized the opportunity to take a shower, then make herself a self-heating hot pot, and began to look up the techniques and methods of greenhouse farming, printing them out one by one, waiting to be delivered with the vegetables.

At the Song family villa, Li Lin received a call and frowned, "Why would she buy so many vegetables if she lives alone? And seeds?"

Unable to figure it out, Li Lin asked people to continue keeping an eye on Song Nian.

That night.

The night was deep and shrouded, like a vast canvas. Lingnan's high terrain meant the air was uncorrupted, and the sky, dotted with countless stars, was exceptionally bright, as if within reach. The faint moonlight made the surroundings incredibly peaceful.

A figure like a dark eagle flew across the night sky without leaving a trace, and even the night watchman who had just passed by was not noticed.

Outside the county government office, Qi Yu jumped over the city wall, avoided the patrolling yamen runners of the county government office, and accurately found the dungeon.

It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you, as if it was two different worlds separated from the outside world.

"Crunch" He accidentally stepped on a branch under his feet. The tiny sound was nothing, but suddenly a dog barking was heard in the dungeon.

"Wow, wang wang."

Two yellow dogs ran out of the dungeon as if smelling something.

Qi Yu immediately dodged and hid behind a big tree.

The patrolling yamen runners heard the noise and gathered around with torches in hand.

After a cautious search, they found nothing suspicious, but they refused to leave.

"I didn't expect this small county government dungeon to be so heavily guarded."

Qi Yu left the dungeon quietly, and an object wrapped in black cloth fell to the ground in his pocket.

The dungeon was long, narrow, dark, and damp, with rats and ants occasionally scurrying through. Yu Wenzheng was terrified of rats, and had long since been frightened to death. Seeing Sun Xian, he clasped his hands together and kowtowed repeatedly, begging, "My Lord Magistrate, please, please let me out. Let me leave this prison, anywhere."

"I, I admit that it was my fault for lying to you. I deserve to die. I was so bold as to dare to expire, Lord Magistrate. I, I will slap myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of slapping echoed throughout the dungeon.

Yu Wenzhen slapped himself hard. In a short while, his cheeks were red and swollen, with clear finger prints on them.

"I have money. There's a secret compartment under my bed in my bedroom. Inside is ten thousand taels of silver and a priceless night-shining pearl. My Lord, I'm willing to give you all my money. Please spare my life!"

"I bother."

Sun Xian spat, his face full of disgust as he got close to him. He gave him a look, and immediately the yamen runners came forward, lifted him up on both sides, and pointed the red-hot iron in their hands at his face.

"Tell me, why did you tease me and the people of Huai Village? You even claimed to be in touch with the gods. Bah, you fooled me. Also, where are all the children who were offered as tribute?"

Yu Wenzheng was so frightened that his face had already turned pale. Seeing that Sun Xian was really going to torture him, he gritted his teeth and said boldly, "Study, turn the inkstone in the study, and a secret room will appear. There are many pieces of gold and jewelry in the secret room. Give them all to the adults... Is that not enough?"

"Am I someone who is deceived by money?"

Sun Xian roared, and instinctively glanced at the long dungeon to make sure no one was eavesdropping. He quickly stepped forward and hissed, "Are you serious?"

"This is really all my belongings, sir. I am willing to give it all to you. Please spare my life."

Sun Xian was the county magistrate, the most powerful man in Huai Village. He had previously been on the same side with Sun Xian because he had a water source. Now that he had discovered he had been deceived, Sun Xian wanted to kill him but it was too late.

Yu Wenzheng knew that if he didn't offer enough chips, this guy would never let him go. As long as there is green mountains, there is no fear of running out of firewood. The most important thing is to save your life first.

"Sir, please find a scapegoat and pretend to set fire to this place, and I can get out alive. Sir, please."

"Shut up."

Sun Xian angrily scolded, "I used you to order me to do things."

"No, no, no, I don't dare. I was wrong. I was just too anxious."

Just as he finished speaking, a mouse jumped out from the darkness and suddenly crawled into his trouser leg, scaring him so much that he screamed.

"Oh, sir, help me, it's stuck in my trouser leg."

"It's noisy."

Sun Xian covered his ears impatiently and gave a look to his servants. The servants held up torches to light the way, which attracted the rats to come out.

Looking at Sun Xian's frightened face again, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I can help you, but you have to tell me where those children are, otherwise I can't explain myself. Also, you can't come back after leaving Huai Village, do you understand?"

Otherwise, he won’t even be able to keep his official position.

"Don't worry, sir. I just want to stay alive and will never cause any trouble for you. As for those children, they..." Yu Wenzheng said, "They were sent to the North City next to Huai Village. Yes, in the North City."

After getting the answer, Sun Xian naturally didn't want to waste time with him any longer. He waved his hand and asked someone to let him go.

"Once I find what you said, I will naturally let you go. You can stay here for tonight."

After saying that, Sun Xian left in a swagger.

Yu Wenzhen sat down on the straw mat, grabbed his hair randomly, and looked very crazy.

Damn Qi Yu, it was all his fault that others lost everything.

Just wait and see, once he gets out, we will never let that fugitive go!

Yu Wenzhen clenched his fist in anger and smashed it hard on the ground, and a small hole immediately appeared on the ground.

He knows martial arts, but no one knows it.

There was a very light sound of footsteps in his ears. He thought it was Sun Xian who had left and returned again, and must be here to let him go. Yu Wenzhen looked up in surprise, but saw a very handsome face with a smile.

"It's you?"

The person who came was Qi Yu.

Unfortunately, he also happened to hear the entire conversation between him and the magistrate.

"it's me."

Qi Yu said loudly, moved a chair over and sat down, crossing his legs, as if he was visiting an old friend.

"The village chief seems to really not want to see me."

Bah, it would be weird if he wanted to see him at this time.

"How did you get in?"

"No, when did you come in?"
