She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

“Whether he knew Liu Dexian’s identity or not still needs further interrogation, as he was only arrested today.

What I just said was what the guards found out.

But I guess Liu Dexian must have given some benefits.

It is not easy to exchange the silver notes of Southern Shu for the silver notes of Wei. Someone has to go to Southern Shu to exchange them for cash and transport them over, and then deposit them in the money house of Wei before they can be exchanged for the silver notes of Wei.

This requires a pass to enter and exit," Shangguan Ziqi explained.

"Oh, then the pass must have been obtained through the hands of the magistrate."

"Whether it is or not, we will know after the trial."

"Don't the mother and daughter have any doubts about the Nanshu banknotes in Liu Dexian's hand?" Yu Yuanzheng thought that the mother and daughter should not be so stupid.

“Liu Dexian claims to be the son of the Huang family in Beijing.

There is indeed a noble family surnamed Huang in the capital of the Great Wei. They are the second prince's mother's family, the original Grand Tutor's Mansion, but they have passed away. Therefore, their family is not as prominent as before.

Every noble family in the capital would let some of their servants go into business, otherwise how would the whole family make a living?

Therefore, it is normal for some families to have business dealings with Southern Shu, and it is also normal for them to have Southern Shu banknotes in their hands."

"Oh, so the Ruan family mother and daughter thought Liu Dexian was the son of the Huang family in the capital of Great Wei. I guess they must have heard Huang instead of Huang."

Yu Yuanzheng dipped some water in the cup and wrote two different characters "Huang" and "Huang" on the table.

"Probably. When Liu Yueru heard that Liu Dexian was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by his family and had escaped to have fun, she would certainly not let him go.

It was just that Liu Dexian was unlucky. He got the disease just after he had hidden it, and he needed someone to help him find a doctor. Liu Yueru and her daughter were the ones who helped him find a doctor.

We consulted no less than ten doctors, but none of them could cure me. Then we opened the Ten Days Hall in Luojiang City.

Otherwise, he will just have to wait for death."

"I understand. Does that woman really want to marry into a wealthy family? Now, is this behavior of mother and daughter considered a crime?" Yu Yuanzheng thought of another question.

Now that they have signed a peace treaty with Southern Shu, will everything be fine?

"If it was to help Liu Dekun, it wouldn't count. But if it was Liu Dexian, it would be a crime. It's not treason, but harboring a fugitive from another country."

"Oh, it's really a loss. It would be great if you could find a suitable family to marry early. Isn't this definitely bringing disaster to the family? How will the verdict be?" Yu Yuanzheng smiled slyly.

It's not that she doesn't hold grudges, she just doesn't make things difficult for herself.

Of course I won't let go of the opportunity.

She still felt very uncomfortable when that woman framed her husband.

"This kind of thing would usually result in a prison sentence of three years at most, but Judge Liu Tong would lose his position as an official and would be a commoner from now on. Of course, they can also use silver to redeem themselves, but such a crime might cost 10,000 taels of silver per person."

After hearing this result, Yu Yuanzheng felt so happy.

Imprisonment means labor reform.

That's enough. She's not a very vicious person who would necessarily want people to die.

Such a punishment would be a devastating disaster for the Liu family.

After working hard to pass the imperial examination, he wanted to get into the Tai Shi Mansion, but he recognized the wrong person and failed, and finally returned to the starting point.

If he can't bear this blow, he will commit suicide.

The Tongpan committed such a serious crime that the prefect personally tried him.

This is equivalent to Shangguan Ziqi giving a credit to the prefect and the young general of the garrison for free.

After this incident, both of them will definitely be promoted.

The next day, Shangguan Ziqi wore a mask and went to the trial.

Then he came back and told Yu Yuanzheng.

"How is it?" Yu Yuanzheng looked curious.

"Liu Yingming was stripped of his official position. His home was searched, his property confiscated, and his entire family sentenced to two years' hard labor."

"That means they don't have the money to redeem them. How much money did Liu Dexian promise the mother and daughter?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't figure it out. Is the Liu family really short of money?

"Ten thousand taels."

"Oh, that's a lot. No wonder they took such a risk."

"They weren't taking any chances. They thought they could get such a big benefit just by helping someone exchange a banknote. They thought Liu Dexian's family had too much money to spend. This made the mother and daughter even more attracted to them."

"Did Liu Yingming know what his wife and daughter were doing?"

"Of course I know, otherwise how would I get the pass?"

Yu Yuanzheng could only sigh: money can move people's hearts.

Ten thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money for a humble Tongpan family. It would be strange if one could resist the temptation.

"Okay, I've already written a letter to Prince Liu. He will send someone to take Liu Dexian away. We've almost finished dealing with our affairs here, so it's time to return to the capital.

"Further ahead is Luohe City, where my third uncle previously worked. My third uncle's eldest sister is married there, so we'll go visit her. Then we'll go straight back to Beijing." Shangguan Ziqi outlined his plans.

He himself didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

He thought that it would take a lot of effort to find Liu Dexian but he might not be able to find him.

The results are automatically delivered to your door.

"Okay, then I don't need to wear men's clothes anymore. Let's just go as we really are." Yu Yuanzheng thought that since they were going to see their relatives, there was no need to pretend to be a miracle doctor.

Shangguan Ziqi called the shopkeeper Qian over and carefully arranged the business of the pharmacy here, as well as how he would report the operating conditions of the pharmacy to the capital in the future.

Then how to develop the market of Southern Shu Kingdom, etc.

"Master, rest assured. I've traveled extensively before. I've even personally led people to Nanshu to purchase goods. I'm quite familiar with Nanshu."

Shangguan Ziqi also gave him a token to enter and exit Southern Shu, which was given by Prince Liu.

On the third day, they continued to move towards the capital.

This time, Yu Yuanzheng dressed herself up like an official's wife.

Without the silver as a burden, the carriage ran much faster.

It is now the end of August and the weather has cooled down.

The autumn wind carries the fallen leaves, fluttering in the air.

Twenty guards were guarding both sides of the carriage. It looked like some important person was going out on business.

Occasionally, when Yu Yuanzheng got tired of riding in the carriage, she would ask Shangguan Ziqi to ride her for a while.

The two little maids, Zhilan and Zhiruo, only then learned the true identity of their master from the guards.

At first they were so shocked that they couldn't believe it.

They actually became the patron saints in the eyes of the people of Wei and the slaves of Prince Rong's Mansion.

Don't underestimate slaves. They have to be assigned to certain families.

The servants in Prince Rong's mansion are countless times stronger than the common people.

Of course, they were just happy about these thoughts in their hearts and could not say them out loud.

It took four days to get into Luohe City. The last time I passed by, I was in a hurry and didn't even choose to stay here. I ran out of the city.

This place is quite far away from the border town of Southern Shu, and the trade here is not as prosperous as that in Luojiang City.

But there were also a constant stream of pedestrians on the street.

Dawei is located in the southeast, with a pleasant climate and fertile land.

There are just a lot of floods every year, but everything else is good.

The sericulture industry is relatively developed, and there are many mulberry fields outside Luohe City. The biggest economy here is silkworms, and a lot of silk cloth is transported to the capital every year.

After entering the city, we found a larger inn to stay in.

As soon as they settled down, Shangguan Ziqi asked Qingfeng to find out the family his elder sister Shangguan Ru was marrying.

Qingfeng and Mingyue went out together and came back only when it was completely dark, but they came back with gloomy faces.
