When the man heard Ji Yanning ask, he laughed and said, "I've seen it, didn't the girl forget!"

Beigong Han saw that someone stepped forward to talk to Ji Yanning, there was some displeasure between his eyebrows and eyes, he stepped forward to block in front of Ji Yanning, looked at the man in front of him, and said, "Get out!"

The man looked at Beigong Han, and his temper came up in an instant: "How old are you, dare to tell Lao Tzu to get out?"

Ji Yanning gently tugged at the corner of Beigong Han's clothes and said, "Maybe he really knows me, so I can find my family." ”

Beigong said coldly: "He doesn't know you, let alone know who your family is." ”

The man sneered and said to Ji Yanning: "Girl, don't listen to his nonsense, I really know where your family is." ”

Beigong Han's eyes sank, and he punched the man.

It's just that I didn't expect this angry man to dodge it lightly.

The two guards hurriedly stepped forward and began to fight with them.

Ji Yanning took a few steps back, looking at this man's martial arts, he should have been sent by the shopkeeper.

But before she could react, someone behind her directly pulled her, covered her mouth, and then pulled into the crowd.

When Beigong Han turned around, Ji Yanning could no longer be seen.

The man who was originally entangled with them also took the opportunity to hide in the crowd and disappeared.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess Changning, she ......" The guard looked at Beigong Han, waiting for him to order the person to be chased back.

Beigong Han was silent: "That's it, let the yamen go to find it." ”

Since Ji Yanning wanted to slip away, why did he have to confine him in the palace, although he didn't know why his father kept wanting her to stay by his side, and that was probably the only way he could help her.

The two guards looked at each other and said yes.

Ji Yanning was pulled into the alley on the side, and then let go of his hand.

"Miss Ji, offended!" the man stepped forward and saluted.

Another person quickly rushed over and stepped forward to salute Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "It was the shopkeeper of a spring breeze who asked you to come over?"

"Yes. The two men replied.

Ji Yanning said calmly: "Prepare the horse, follow me to Sanshi Village." ”

She didn't delay for a moment, she finally got out of the palace, naturally she couldn't go back so easily, but directly took the two guards towards Sanshi Village.

Beigong Han asked the people of the yamen to find Princess Changning, who had been robbed, but returned to the palace alone, and Beigong Chen quickly learned about it.

Mama Lan waited for a day and didn't see Princess Changning come back, so she hurriedly reported to His Majesty, only then did she know that Beigong Han took her out of the palace and never came back.

Beigong Han walked into the imperial study, his eyes were calm, and he stepped forward to salute the emperor and said, "Father." ”

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at him: "I heard that you took Changning out of the palace?"

Beigong Han replied, "Yes." ”

"What about people?" the emperor looked at his son, his face already flushed with anger, "You deliberately let her get lost?"

Beigong Han said: "She doesn't want to stay in the palace, why should her father be reluctant?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Beigong Han: "It's not your turn to teach you Lao Tzu! You have been away for more than a year, and as soon as you come back, you will know that you are capable of working against me!"

Beigong Han lowered his head: "Erchen doesn't dare." ”

"Don't you dare?" the Emperor glared at him, and said, "Get her back to me, and if she makes any mistakes, get out of the way!"

Beigong Han bowed his head and was silent.

In his impression, his father was a person who had rarely been angry, and this time he was really angry.

He didn't talk back, just answered, "Yes." ”

When the emperor saw that he answered like this*, his heart was even more uncomfortable: "I can't count on you anymore, I will send others to find you, you give me a good closed door to think about it, before I find Changning, don't think about leaving the prince's mansion!"

Beigong Han's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied yes.

The emperor knew that he couldn't trap Ji Yanning, but he didn't want her to leave like this, so he asked the soldiers in the city to start looking for Ji Yanning's whereabouts.

At this time, Ji Yanning had already come to Sanshi Village with two guards, because it was getting late, they found a family to spend the night.

The family she stayed with was an elderly couple with their seven or eight-year-old grandchildren.

Ji Yanning learned from their words that it had been several years since the child's parents died.

Hearing Ji Yanning say that he wanted to stay overnight, he didn't refuse, so he packed up a room, and the two guards will live in the firewood room.

In the evening, the mother-in-law of this family brought Ji Yanning some food.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Ji Yanning stepped forward to take the food in her hand and put it on the table.

The old woman chuckled lightly and said, "No thanks, you should have stayed overnight and gave us a tael of silver, our family is very simple, I hope the girl doesn't mind." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Mother-in-law, where is this, you are kind enough to take us in, I naturally deserve to thank you." ”

The old woman said, "There are only a few families in our village, and there is no good scenery around, how can the girl come here?"

Ji Yanning said: "Just passing by." By the way, mother-in-law, have all your villagers lived here all along, and have you moved from any other places?"

The old woman thought for a while and shook her head: "The people here are all ancestors here, so the whole village has the same surname, and the ancestors are one family!"

When Ji Yanning heard the old woman's words, she frowned slightly.

She added, "Didn't anyone come to live with you twenty-one years ago?"

The old woman listened to Ji Yanning's words, shook her head and said, "It has been more than forty years since I married into this village, and no one moved here twenty-one years ago. ”

Ji Yanning fell silent.

The old woman said, "But twenty-one years ago...... We seem to have had a few strange people here. ”

Ji Yanning's eyes lit up and asked, "How strange?"

The old woman said, "It seems that some Taoist priests say that we have excellent feng shui here and that it is a good place." I heard that they left a large sum of money for the village chief after they left, which is very enviable!"

Ji Yanning listened to the old woman's words, but thought that maybe those Taoist priests back then were the ones who buried their bones in this village.

They left a sum of money for the village chief, presumably to get the chief's consent, or to have the village chief guard her bones from being dug up.

The people here are simple, and it is not difficult to put on some words.

Although the events of twenty-one years ago were far away, for them, the village chief's family had a windfall, which naturally impressed them, and because the village chief's family had money, the position of village chief had been in their family all these years.

Ji Yanning chatted with her mother-in-law a few more words and found out the location of the village chief's house.

Soon after the mother-in-law left her room, taking advantage of the night, Ji Yanning came out and found the two guards and asked them to arrest the old village chief.

Ji Yanning walked out of the courtyard of the old woman's house, and not long after, he saw the guards escorting a fat-headed and big-eared man in front of him.

They took the people to the field on the side, and then they tore off the strip of cloth from the old village chief's mouth.

"You ...... Who are you!" He looked at the men in front of him with some horror.

Obviously, he was still asleep just now, but he was tied up in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yanning stepped forward, took out the small dagger in his sleeve, patted him on the face, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you answer my question obediently, of course I won't do anything to you." ”

The old village chief swallowed his saliva, looking at the little girl in front of him who was very young next year, but there was a chilling feeling in his eyes.

He said, "What do you want to ask?"

Ji Yanning didn't want to talk too much nonsense, and asked directly: "Twenty-one years ago, did someone come to you and bury a corpse in Sanshi Village?"

When the old village chief heard Ji Yanning say this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Twenty-one years, how can I still remember!"

Ji Yanning heard him deny it, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into his thigh.

The old village chief was in pain and was about to shout, but the guards behind him directly gagged his mouth with strips of cloth.

He burst into tears.

Ji Yanning said: "I said that only if you answer the question obediently, I will not embarrass you." ”

The strip of cloth was ripped off again.

The old village chief said, "It seems to be ...... There's such a thing. ”

Ji Yanning was not satisfied with his answer, gestured the dagger at his legs, and said, "If you are not honest again, let you taste more pain." ”

The old village chief shuddered and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, I said! Twenty-one years ago, a few people came here with a copy of the ashes and said that they would bury it in the west of the village! Let us keep watch over it, and they will give us a large sum of silver!"

Ji Yanning tugged at his collar and said, "Take us to have a look." ”

The old village chief didn't dare to disobey, and took Ji Yanning and the three of them to the west of the village.

The night was dark, but the gentle moonlight on the ground allowed them to see the road clearly.

The whole village was shrouded in sleep, and occasionally one or two barking dogs could be heard, and after about two quarters of an hour, the old village chief stopped, pointed to a wordless grave not far away, and said, "That's it." ”

Approaching this place, Ji Yanning felt as if his chest was pressed by something, and he was a little out of breath.

The old village chief said, "I have already brought you here, please let me go!"

Ji Yanning covered his chest, tried to calm himself down, and looked at the guard: "Knock him out and throw him to the ground." ”

The guard answered yes, and then according to what Ji Yanning said, he stunned the old village chief with one palm, stuffed it with strips of cloth, and threw it directly into the ground in the distance.

Ji Yanning walked forward slowly, looking at the wordless monument in front of him, with mixed feelings.
