Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

Several yamen runners came forward and wanted to arrest Zhao Yuanqing and others.

Zhao Yuanqing exchanged glances with Meng Jiu, and Meng Jiu gave a strong push, and Zhao Yuanqing broke through the encirclement of several yamen runners and pounced on the man.

She squatted down and quickly felt the man's breath. There was no breath at all. He was indeed dead.

Zhao Yuanqing touched the man's face, which was as cold as ice and had a faint stench of decay. The blood at the corner of his mouth didn't seem to have flowed from his mouth, but rather seemed to have been smeared on.

This person had died a long time ago, he didn't die just now!

The captain of the police shouted, "What are you doing, woman? Arrest her!"

Two more yamen runners rushed over. Zhao Yuanqing stepped back and shouted, "This man didn't just die. He was dead a long time ago. He stinks! We didn't kill him!"

The bailiffs all looked at the captain, and the man whose son had died also looked at him. The captain smiled sinisterly, "You bitch, you're such a nuisance, you have so many tricks up your sleeve. I said you killed him, and you did! Arrest him!"

Meng Jiu, Wen Qian and Xu Shi hurried over, surrounded Zhao Yuanqing, and signaled her with their eyes, asking her if she wanted to reveal her identity.

Zhao Yuanqing shook his head. He didn't know who the other party was or why they were coming for them, so he decided to just go with the flow.

She shouted, "No need to catch us, we will follow you!"

The captain sneered, "Wouldn't it be better if you knew better earlier? Take him away!"

Two yamen runners escorted them, and several other yamen runners drove their donkey carts back to the Qinzhou County Yamen.

Zhao Yuanqing and the other three were thrown directly into the prison. From a distance, they could hear the cheers of the yamen runners outside. "What fresh cherries! Call everyone over quickly so we can divide them up!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Leave one for you first, and then leave one for Mr. Sun."

"Okay, I won't forget it!"

Those yamen runners were like robbers. They divided their cherries without even saying hello!

Zhao Yuanqing said angrily, "I didn't expect the Qinzhou County Government to be so corrupt. Not only did they arrest us for no reason, but they also divided up our cherries. This is outrageous!"

Meng Jiu, Wen Qian, and Xu Shi were also indignant. Meng Jiu whispered, "Qinzhou is only about 700 miles away from Chang'an, and is still within Chang'an's radiation range. I didn't expect it to be like this."

Zhao Yuanqing also whispered back, "This is because the Longyou Dao has troops at their disposal, so they are much bolder. The former Jiedushi Sun Ping is in the presence of the emperor, so he is very confident. The people below follow suit and act recklessly."

Zhao Yuanqing sighed secretly in her heart. The emperor had always wanted to take all military power back to the court, but he had never succeeded since her death in her previous life.

On the contrary, after this intention was revealed, several wars broke out on the border, which even threatened Chang'an. The emperor had no choice but to pay money and food to coax these military governors, and they repelled the enemy.

From then on, the emperor never mentioned the issue of taking back military power again, and he seemed to be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Jiedushi.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanqing felt sad. It was a pity that his grandfather was loyal and patriotic and devoted to Daqing, but he died in battle early. If he were alive, the ending of Daqing would definitely not be like this.

"But who is this Sun Langjun they're talking about?"

Xu said, "I know. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Sun Ping's adopted son. I don't know which one it is."

According to Xu, Sun Ping, the former governor of Longyou Road, was the one who was tortured half to death by Sun Xin. He had dozens of adopted sons.

When naming his adopted sons, he discarded the old names and changed them all to the surname Sun. He then gave them twenty-two names according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. As there were not enough Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches for his adopted sons later, he just gave them random names.

As for how many adopted sons Sun Ping has, probably even Sun Ping himself doesn't know.

Sun Ping kept some of his adopted sons by his side to manage important matters for him, and sent some of them to various places in Longyou Road, giving them a small number of soldiers and horses to compete with the local government, and gradually marginalized them.

For example, in Qinzhou, there are two teams, one is officials sent by the court, and the other is adopted sons sent by Sun Ping. Which one has real power depends on the result of their competition.

If Sun Ping's adopted son wins, he will have the final say in this area. If he loses, Sun Ping will send someone to assassinate the official, and the court will send a new one.

Over time, many local officials in Longyou Road became Sun Ping's men.

The governance of these places was entirely under the control of Sun Ping's adopted sons, but many of them only knew how to kill people for money in a cruel and brutal manner, and did not care about the people at all, so many places were in a mess.

Zhao Yuanqing took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the Longyou Road, which looked so bright on the outside, was so rotten inside!

No wonder a year later, when the Wumeng army attacked Daqing, the Longyou Road failed to stop it and allowed the Wumeng army to enter Chang'an.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Sun Xin had beaten Sun Ping half to death, and Sun Ping's conspiracy to rely on these adopted sons to cause trouble was shattered.

However, from another perspective, because Sun Ping is no longer capable and Sun Xin has taken over, those adopted sons will definitely be dissatisfied with Sun Xin, and there will inevitably be a battle for power.

The Longyou Road has definitely been a bit uneasy lately.

All four of them fell silent. The prison was filled with darkness, and the only sound was the dripping of water.

Suddenly, a light laugh was heard, and a clear male voice said, "This woman from Chang'an is really ridiculous. She is about to become a court prostitute, and yet she still has the mind to discuss such important court affairs."

"Who?"

The voice became playful, "Haha, go look for me and see if you can find me!"

Zhao Yuanqing and the other three looked up and saw a row of wooden cages. Some were empty, while others contained people wearing white prison uniforms, lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

There were a few torches stuck on the opposite wall, making the room dim and dark, and I could only see a few meters away.

"Who, who is talking?"

"Hey, look for it!"

The noises became more rampant. After a while, a yamen runner came in and yelled, "What are you shouting about? Silence!"

The man cursed, "Where's your father, Su Jing! Ma Hu, get out of here! If you piss off Grandpa, I'll castrate you while you're drunk!"

The yamen runner Ma Hu snorted and actually left. It seemed that he was very afraid of this man.

At this time, Zhao Yuanqing also saw him. In the cage next to them, there was a man. He was not on the ground, but hanging on the wall of the roof like a gecko, looking at Zhao Yuanqing and others with a joking look.

Zhao Yuanqing smiled and said, "I found you."

The man jumped down, and when he landed, there was no sound at all. Meng Jiu whispered softly, "His kung fu is better than mine."

The man said, "That doesn't count. I was the one who exposed myself. You didn't find me."

Zhao Yuanqing thought this man was amazing. Even though he was locked up in jail, he still had the mood to play such a ridiculous little game.

Under the dim torchlight, the man slowly approached, and his entire body appeared in front of Zhao Yuanqing and others.

This is a young man in his twenties, dressed in white. Even in this dirty prison, he is as clean as the clouds in the sky.

He was about seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and a very tall build.

His hair was tied into a bun on top of his head. He did not wear a fu (head hat), but only a hairpin. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, a strand of hair hung down from his forehead, adding a touch of unrestrainedness and half covering his eyes.

Zhao Yuanqing met his eyes and was shocked. This man was so handsome. He was the most handsome person she had ever seen in her two lifetimes.

He has fair skin, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, delicate features, and a mischievous and unruly smile at the corner of his mouth.

What was even more surprising was that there was a bright red azalea stuck in his ear. The azalea looked so fresh and it was obvious that it had just been picked not long ago.

Where could he find such fresh flowers in this big prison?

The man chuckled again, "You're all stunned too, right? Haha, I knew it. Every time I appear, a bunch of young ladies and wives are stunned."

Zhao Yuanqing turned around and saw that Meng Jiu, Wen Qian and Xu were all a little embarrassed, especially Xu, whose face was blushing.

"Who are you?"

"I?"

The man lightly lifted his hair, like a peacock spreading its tail, and said, "My name is Yang Yi, the Ranger."

"Yang Yi?"

Zhao Yuanqing recalled that he had never heard of this name in his two lifetimes.

Yang Yi took one look at the four of them and exclaimed, "You really haven't heard of me. I told you I must go to Chang'an and make a name for myself, and accomplish some great things. Otherwise, I won't be able to become famous."

Famous throughout the world? Is this person sick?
