She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Shangguan Ziqi took out the things from the small wooden box.

Yu Yuanzheng then saw that it was something like a token.

It looks like it's made of copper.

There is also a wolf head totem on it.

The eyes on the totem are lifelike, but the bronze plate may be quite old and has some rust, or it may have not been used by its owner for a long time.

"What is this?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't understand.

"This is a unique token for the guards of my Prince Rong's Mansion. But it's from the previous generation." Shangguan Ziqi looked thoughtful.

"Oh? How come the token of Prince Rong's Mansion is here? And it's from the previous generation." Yu Yuanzheng was even more confused.

"I don't know. Let's go to the county jail and ask the boss how he got it." Since there are doubts, of course we have to investigate it thoroughly.

He also knew that his wife would definitely want to know the answer, so they went together.

Yu Yuanzheng asked two maids to take good care of Shangguan Ru and the child.

"Don't worry, Madam Young Master, we will take good care of Miss Ru and Miss Cousin." Zhilan promised.

"Well, ask the inn kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for Xiao Yue'er so she can have something to eat. She didn't eat much at noon."

"Yes, Madam Young Master." Zhiruo immediately went to find the waiter to make arrangements.

Shangguan Ziqi ordered four guards to board the carriage and go to the county government office.

When County Magistrate Liu heard that Young Master Shangguan had arrived, he was shocked, thinking that the Young Master was coming to blame him for dereliction of duty again.

But this gang of bandits has been around for many years and his predecessor didn't deal with them. He has only been here for two years, so how could he have such great ability?

"Your humble servant greets the eldest master." County Magistrate Liu and several county officials gave him a warm welcome.

"Okay, I want to see the big boss." Shangguan Ziqi directly stated his purpose.

When County Magistrate Liu heard that they were not there to question him, the smile on his face became even more flattering.

Then he personally took them to the cell.

Almost a hundred bandits filled the county government's jail in no time.

These people were so taught a lesson by the guards that they dared not resist.

Many of them had bruises on their faces and noses, and Yu Yuanzheng knew that the guards were not being polite at all. They just didn't beat them to death or maim them.

Shangguan Ziqi glanced at these people and then fixed his eyes on a corner.

An old man squatted there silently, alone.

There was no one within three feet of him.

Perhaps his usual prestige was still there, so the other bandits didn't dare to act rashly.

"County Magistrate Liu, have someone bring that old man out to the torture chamber." Shangguan Ziqi raised his hand and pointed.

The old man was taken to the torture chamber.

But he still kept his head down and didn't look at anyone.

"Raise your head." Qingfeng shouted sternly.

But the old man still kept his head down.

Mingyue walked up to him, grabbed his hair and forced his head up.

The old man then looked at Shangguan Ziqi, but his eyes flickered.

Shangguan Ziqi immediately caught his expression.

"Who are you? Do you know me?" Shangguan Ziqi asked speculatively.

But the old man still said nothing.

"If you don't tell me, I will punish you severely. Don't think that I can't do it just because you are an old man. As a bandit leader, you have robbed countless merchants and travelers over the years. Just based on these, you deserve the death penalty. If you answer honestly, maybe you can get a lighter sentence." Shangguan Ziqi said coldly.

Yu Yuanzheng was also observing the old man and felt that he looked familiar.

"Husband, do you still remember the man named Mo Lin? He is the one who came to assassinate Sister Ru." Yu Yuanzheng suddenly asked.

As soon as Yu Yuanzheng asked this question, the old man's eyes changed obviously.

With a hint of pain and sadness.

"I remember, what's wrong?" Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand what she meant for a moment, and why she suddenly asked this irrelevant question.

"Do you think he looks a bit like Mo Lin?" Yu Yuanzheng reminded.

Shangguan Ziqi then looked at the tied old man seriously.

You know what, there's a certain resemblance. Women are always the most observant.

But judging from his age, this old man obviously could not be Morin's brother.

So who is he?

"Your last name is Mo, right?" Yu Yuanzheng asked.

The old man opened his eyes.

Needless to say, Yu Yuanzheng guessed right.

"You have a son named Mo Lin, right?" Yu Yuanzheng continued to ask.

But the old man still didn't answer, but his eyes were fixed on Yu Yuanzheng.

The old man was shocked.

He is old now, his body has aged, and his martial arts skills are not as good as before.

Someone came up the mountain yesterday and he was controlled in just a few moves.

He had received the news that the robbery attempt down the mountain had failed, and he had arranged for an informant to keep an eye on it at all times.

As a result, the six people were unable to kill those people at all.

He originally planned to retreat immediately, but before he could take action, those people came up the mountain.

At first, he only received an order to cooperate with the people sent by the master to kill all the people in this team.

He didn't know who to kill.

As a result, those people quickly dealt with the brothers who had gone down the mountain, and were able to go up the mountain again just as quickly to besiege the old and weak who remained on the mountain.

As he was led down the mountain with everyone else, he saw a man who looked somewhat similar to the Lord.

He soon guessed his identity.

It must be the son of Prince Rong's Mansion, but he is not sure which one it is.

Because he had been away from the palace for too long, a full twelve years.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess who you are.

You used to be from the Rong Palace, and belonged to the third master of the Rong Palace, Shangguan Hongzhe.

Your son's name is Mo Lin, and he was arranged to be the companion of the third master's eldest daughter Shangguan Ru in Luohe City.

Your wife, Zheng, entered the main courtyard of the palace a long time ago and served the princess.

Nanny Zheng said you were dead, but in fact you were not dead at all. You used your death to cover up the truth and were doing things for the Third Master outside.

I can guess what it's about.

Robbery on the way is just to provide your master with ill-gotten gains.

Am I right?" Yu Yuanzheng came up with her guess based on the information she had obtained after marrying into the palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the old man's face turned red and his breathing became rapid, but he still didn't say anything.

"Your wife had been giving saffron to the princess in the main courtyard for a long time. She was caught and died by poisoning herself. Your son tried to assassinate Shangguan Ru a few days ago, but we chased him and he jumped off a cliff and died.

You said that your family ended up being torn apart because of working for the Third Master. You must have lived in fear every day, right? "

Yu Yuanzheng continued.

He should have known about Nanny Zheng's death a long time ago, and he should have just heard about his son's death from his own mouth.

"You have a daughter, who knows when she might die." Yu Yuanzheng stabbed again.

As a result, the old man shed tears.

"Are you the eldest son?" After a long while, the old man slowly asked.

As soon as this question was asked, the couple knew that Yu Yuanzheng's guesses were all correct.

That token belongs to him, one of the guards trained by the old prince.

It was just given to the third master.

"That's right." Shangguan Ziqi confirmed.

The old man looked at Yu Yuanzheng again.

"I'm his wife," she explained.

The two waited for him to admit it.
