After touching the 100,000 taels of silver in his arms, "Prefect Jiang" felt numb.

Now that he is Magistrate Jiang, does that mean he has to pay back the 100,000 taels of silver?

Thinking of this, "Prefect Jiang" suddenly wanted to quit his job.

When he was the county magistrate, he did not have to pay back the 100,000 taels of silver, but now that he is the prefect Jiang, he has to pay back the 100,000 taels of silver.

Why?

It wasn't him who borrowed it, it was Prefect Jiang who borrowed it.

Thinking of this, I feel numb all over.

Before he could make good use of the 100,000 taels of silver, he was arrested and made the prefect Jiang.

I searched the study but couldn't find any way to contact the person above.

Was it a carrier pigeon or someone delivering the message?

Or did Magistrate Jiang destroy the letter as soon as he read it?

"Prefect Jiang" was almost numb. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky with a tragic and angry expression.

Suddenly, a slight sound of falling was heard from behind "Prefect Jiang". He turned around and saw a man in black clothes with his face covered tightly.

When "Prefect Jiang" looked at the man in black, he didn't have time to hide the expression on his face. Also, because he didn't know what expression to use to face the man in black, he just stood there without moving.

"We have heard about your situation. Just be patient for now. You will be able to leave the city and go to the capital soon." The man in black saw the tragic and angry expression of "Prefect Jiang" and comforted him. His voice was hoarse and the specific tone could not be distinguished.

"Prefect Jiang" blinked when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly became filled with anger.

He also felt what happened to Magistrate Jiang today. When he walked on the street, the pointing and talking of people around him made him feel ashamed.

Why did Governor Jiang have to bear the consequences of what he had experienced?

State Master, Master Lu, the Crown Prince is totally disregarding his feelings.

Especially when those people looked at him, their eyes seemed to want to strip off his clothes, and some of the bolder ones even looked between his legs.

He was so angry.

The man in black saw his increasingly angry expression and threw a heavy bag at him. When "Prefect Jiang" reached out to catch it, he could still hear a muffled sound coming from inside...

"Inside is ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold. This is the consolation given to you by your master."

The prefect's eyes lit up.

Ten thousand taels of silver notes and one hundred taels of gold?

One hundred taels of gold is one thousand taels of silver.

I didn't expect that the people above Magistrate Jiang were so generous that they could give so much as a consolation.

No wonder when he cried poor to Prefect Jiang, Prefect Jiang always gave him money. It turned out that the people above him were so generous.

"There's also a letter inside. If you complete the task in the letter, the owner will reward you handsomely."

The man in black disappeared after saying this.

"Prefect Jiang" looked at the heavy bag in his hand. It turned out that he was given so much money because of the mission.

Then he knew what to do.

I unfolded the envelope and it said I was looking for someone.

Then he drew a portrait.

The painting shows a little girl with a round and pink face, a pair of big watery eyes, a straight nose and a cherry mouth. She is wearing a pink skirt and looks plump and beautiful.

She is a delicate, beautiful and lovely little girl.

As "Prefect Jiang" looked at the painting, he felt that the person in it looked particularly familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Amidst the lightning and thunderclouds, a face flashed quickly through my mind.

Isn’t the person in this painting Yaoyao?

Why are they looking for Yaoyao?

"Prefect Jiang" did not dare to delay and hurried back to the study to quickly write a letter and asked Xiao Shiwu to deliver it to Yue Yuan, Lu Jiu, Xiao Ci and others.

He didn't know if this was an important discovery, but he thought that a small clue was still a clue. What if it was important?

.............................

It was already the next morning when Yue Yuan received the letter.

Ask someone to call Lu Jiu and Xiao Ci.

"They can't sit still anymore and want to get rid of Yaoyao." Yue Yuan put the painting on the table for Lu Jiu and Xiao Ci to see.

Lu Jiu picked up the portrait, and the person on the face was still Yaoyao's face.

"You mean they doubt Yaoyao's background?"

If this is true, it just means that the mastermind behind all this is in the capital and has a very high status.

"Then who do you think it could be?" Xiao Ci looked up at Yue Yuan.

Yue Yuan already has a candidate in mind, but he is not sure yet.

"In the capital, Yaoyao has only shown her face to the Lu family and Nanchu. Most of the high-ranking officials in the capital have seen Yaoyao, so they are all suspects." Yue Yuan's mind flashed with the face of Princess Anguo, and he continued, "If I had to guess, I think Princess Anguo is the biggest suspect."

"So according to you, the mastermind behind all this is a child over one year old?" Lu Jiu frowned.

How can a one-year-old child be so scheming?

"Who is standing behind Princess Anguo?" Yue Yuan rubbed the cup in his hand.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xiao Ci said it without thinking.

"Well, and the Prime Minister has been a little strange recently. He often doesn't show up." Yue Yuan said after thinking for a while.

"I heard from my father that the Prime Minister was poisoned and was lying unconscious in bed. Although he was later saved by Princess Anguo with her own blood, his body was damaged and he needs to recuperate for a while." Xiao Ci told what he heard from his father.

"But the Prime Minister is indeed suspicious. When I saw the Prime Minister's wife in the mansion that day, I didn't see any haggard look on her face." Lu Jiu nodded, agreeing with Yue Yuan's words.

You know, when something happens at home, my mother's hair turns white overnight.

Dad also aged dozens of years overnight.

How could he be so energetic?

"Since I suspect the Prime Minister is the mastermind behind everything, I can't let go of any clues." Yue Yuan's suspicions reached a peak.

The only person who had a feud with Yaoyao was Princess Anguo...

Moreover, Princess Anguo has a special identity and looks very similar to Yaoyao. There must be something behind this that he doesn't know.

Yue Yuan also wanted to find out why the daughter of fortune became the Princess of Anguo.

Before Princess Anguo was born, he clearly saw in the hexagram that the daughter of good fortune would be born in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But the person is not right.

He spared no effort to calculate the weak position of the Daughter of Fortune.

What on earth happened? The fate of the lucky girl suddenly disappeared from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Finally, the lucky girl was found in the small village of Lihua Village.

That is Yaoyao....................

Something must have happened that he didn't know about.
