Xiao Niannian was helpless against the man's disappearance, she didn't know what kind of technique the man used, and he could escape so openly in front of her.

It seems that she still underestimated the man.

It's just that if you let people run away like this, you will definitely leave trouble. It seems that in the future, she and her family will have to be careful in everything.

The rest is simple.

The masterminds and some important people behind the black mine have long since fled, leaving only many miners and a few inconsequential stewards there.

Xu Gongran asked the officials to arrest everyone, let the good guys go, and bring the bad guys back to the yamen.

Regarding the mine, he left some officials here to guard, waiting for the imperial court to issue a decree before deciding what to do.

And he himself took his master and two officials to send Xiao Niannian home.

On the way back, Xiao Niannian took the handkerchief he picked up in the stone room and showed it to Xu Gongran.

Xu Gongran didn't think it was anything when he got the handkerchief at first, but he thought that the begonia flowers embroidered on it were quite good-looking.

It wasn't until I saw the word "Anhe" embroidered in the corner that my expression became serious.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Niannian saw his serious expression and asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this handkerchief?" Do you know who An He is? ”

Xu Gongran glanced back, and saw that the master and the officials were a little far away, and no one paid attention to this side, so he nodded and said softly: "Yes, I do know who An He is, and she should be the only one who dares to call An He in the world." ”

"Who is that man? Have you seen her? Xiao Niannian saw his voice for fear that others would hear, and became even more curious.

Xu Gongran shook his head again, "I haven't seen her, but I've heard of it." The eldest princess of Anhe in the previous dynasty, a sword dance moved the world, no one knows who doesn't know. It's a pity that the beauty lives a small life......"

"She's dead?" Xiao Niannian frowned and asked, "How did she die?" She's all dead, why is the handkerchief embroidered with her name here? ”

Xu Gongran began to tell the story.

"The eldest princess of An He died in a fire."

"When the enemy attacked, she personally led her soldiers to guard the city gate until the last moment."

"In the end, I was really defeated by the rebels, and seeing that the country was ruined, Princess An He refused to surrender and returned to the princess's mansion to set a fire."

"It is said that the fire burned for three days and three nights. A generation of beauties ended up with no bones left. ”

Xu Gongran lowered his head again and said mysteriously: "Do you know who is the rebel general that Princess An He fought against at the city gate?" ”

"How do I know? I wasn't even born then! Xiao Niannian pouted, "What's more, who else can it be, it can't be her husband." ”

"That's right!" Xu Gongran snapped his fingers, "The little ancestor is really smart, he guessed correctly as soon as he guessed!" ”

Xiao Niannian: "......" I didn't expect it to be really ......

Xu Gongran continued: "The person who confronted the eldest princess An He at that time was the eldest princess's future concubine, His Royal Highness the former prince of the dynasty. ”

Xiao Niannian understood, "In other words, it was the fiancé of Princess An He who initiated a rebellion and usurped the throne?" ”

Xu Gongran nodded, "It's okay if you say so, but the person who really initiated the rebellion is the father of the future master of the horse." But the future master must also be involved in it, it is said that it is because he obtained a lot of information by the eldest princess's side and made great contributions, so the emperor made him the crown prince. ”

Xiao Niannian asked again: "But you said that since he became the crown prince, why do you still call him His Royal Highness the former prince?" ”

Xu Gongran explained: "That's because the former prince was given death by the emperor a year ago. It is said that the former prince, who formed a party for personal gain, secretly stationed troops, and also wanted to repeat his father's path to usurp the throne, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the old emperor and directly gave him death. ”

Xiao Niannian didn't understand again, "You said that this person is the crown prince, and the throne will be hiss sooner or later, is it necessary for him to rebel?" ”

"I also think there is something strange about this, but all kinds of evidence pointed to him at the time, which makes people have to believe it." Xu Gongran said, his expression becoming mysterious again.

"And let me tell you, this former prince has a lot of enemies, and after he died, his beautiful wives and concubines and children all died inexplicably, in a strange death, and there was not a single living mouth. Some people say that it was Princess An He's soul who came back to take revenge and took away the souls of those people. ”

Xiao Niannian obviously didn't believe this statement.

After death, ordinary souls can't do anything, unless they become powerful resentful spirits or ghost kings, they can cause harm to people.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to produce powerful resentful spirits and ghost kings like this, they usually have no reason, and they do not distinguish between good and bad, and they kill people when they see them.

If it appears somewhere, it will be a disaster.

But now, she hasn't heard of anything strange in Jingguo.

In her opinion, it is very likely that someone is doing evil through supernatural rumors.

Xiao Niannian stepped on his feet, reached out and pulled back the handkerchief in Xu Gongran's hand, staring at the begonia flowers on it.

"Then you say, is the man who escaped related to Princess An He, so he has her veil."

"Maybe it's the eldest princess's admirer. I heard that the eldest princess Wen Ke wrote poems and endowed them, Wu Ke went into battle to kill the enemy, and she also had a good dancing skill. At that time, there were countless people who admired her, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to see such a wonderful person. Otherwise......"

Before Xu Gongran finished speaking, the rabbit in his arms suddenly trembled and kicked him twice.

He was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth, touched the rabbit in his arms soothingly, and said flatteringly: "Xiaobai Xiaobai, you misunderstood." I just want to see what the legendary eldest princess looks like, and I don't have any other ideas, because I only have you in my heart, and I can't pretend to be anyone else. ”

But after he said this, the white rabbit buried his head under his arm, as if he didn't want to face him.

Xu Gongran thought that Xiao Bai was still angry, so he coaxed him even harder, and the numb words poured out one after another, and Xiao Niannian's goosebumps rose when he heard it.

However, a peacock and a white rabbit, both of whom are vegetarians, this combination is quite compatible.

When Xiao Niannian returned to Taoli Village, it was dark, and she was forced to eat all the way to the dog food, and she couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage as soon as she arrived at the door of the house.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but put a silence spell on the peacock spirit.

When she got home, her father had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her.

The dim kerosene lamp in the room made Xiao Niannian not see her mother's crying red eyes.

But she vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little gloomy.

During the meal, Li Rulan put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating two bites.

Xiao Niannian realized that something was wrong with her mother, and her brothers didn't talk as much as before when they were eating.

Thinking about her mother's going to Li's Mansion in the afternoon, she thought that her father and mother went to Li's Mansion to be wronged.

So she put down the dishes and chopsticks with a "snap", and asked angrily: "Mother, is someone bullying you?" Tell me about it, and I'll teach them a lesson! ”
