Shen Mingjiao stood up and dusted off her clothes, "No way, you have too many flaws!" ”

"How could it be...... You ......"

Shen Mingjiao glanced at her: "You want to say, I am not familiar with the county lord of Jianing, how can I see through you so quickly!" ”

She smiled: "I think the girl is also literate, and she should know that it is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger!"

I really don't know the county lord of Jianing, but I know that her mother is a noble eldest princess, and her father was born into a famous family, so a woman raised by such a family is not something that anyone can imitate. ”

The woman's lowered eyes crossed with hatred, and she shrunk her shoulders and said sadly:

"No, I did listen to the order and planned to stun you, Princess, but I really am Jianing! I...... I also have a hard time, and they forced me to ......"

Shen Mingjiao seemed to be a little interested, and said coolly: "Oh." Then you should have heard my comments in the capital! You are so calculating me, have you ever thought about the end? ”

The woman gestured behind her without a trace, lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "I...... I know a lot of things, and the bandits who captured me have another identity, and they are ......."

"The remnants of the previous dynasty!"

The woman looked up suddenly: "How do you know?" ”

"Isn't it hard to guess? Anyone who has been to that den of bandits can see it. The three-entry mansion is the architectural style favored by the royal family of the previous dynasty,"

She hadn't seen that house, and Feng Lisheng had mentioned it to her on the way back that day.

Although the house does not look like anything from the outside, you can still see the clues in the hollow pattern of the ridge beams.

She looked at the woman with a pale face, "Presumably your girl told you the news!" You are not the county lord of Jianing, but the personal maid of the county lord of Jianing,

Your master should be dead, and in order to survive, you offered to pretend to be the county lord of Jianing County and use it as bait to lure me into the bait. ”

The woman's face turned completely white: "I ......"

Shen Mingjiao was already impatient, and glanced at somewhere behind the woman:

"Come out! Since you have done this bureau and want to capture me, how can you not arrange a person nearby to answer me? ”

The voice fell. There seemed to be a figure flashing in the depths of the dark alley, obviously listening to Shen Mingjiao's words, and had the heart to retreat,

However, all of them underestimated Shen Mingjiao, and the floating light that silently followed behind Shen Mingjiao.

I saw a light tap under the feet of the floating light, and in an instant, I reached the depths of the dark alley, and then there were faint sounds of several fists colliding with the wind.

After a while, four big men were thrown out.

Seeing that the four were easily arrested, the woman collapsed to the ground in despair.

Shen Mingjiao stared at these people, frowning in confusion, it stands to reason that if someone is caught by mistake right now, he should directly take the person back to the inn and hand it over to Feng Lisheng, and then interrogate and deploy together,

But in this way, the other party didn't see these people go back, so he knew that this plan had failed, and he would definitely hide again.

In this way, even if they interrogate something at that time, they will eventually delay time back and forth, and the other party will be afraid that they will be gone long ago.

Thinking about this, she didn't bother anymore, walked into the deep alley, let the floating light guard, and directly hypnotized these people.

"Who are you?"

“…… Mountain Bandits...... No...... Forwards and futures! ”

"You guys are so good in the mountains, why do you want to go out of the mountains?"

“…… Three months ago. Mr. Qin was afraid of causing trouble to his brothers, so he persuaded the big boss to take us out of the village......"

"Who is Mr. Qin?"

"Mr. Qin is a military advisor in Xianyun Village, and he is a very smart person."

Shen Mingjiao sighed: "Xianyun Village!" This name is very special, and the people who want to take this name want to be idle in the village from now on, but it's a pity that you have failed this name. ”

She asked the question they were most concerned about now: "Where did you go after you left Qishan?" ”

“…… Yang's blacksmith shop. ”

Shen Mingjiao was stunned, after all, according to Feng Lisheng's speculation, there were at least tens of thousands of people living in that mountain bandit's nest, and a blacksmith shop needed dozens of people at most, and the difference between the two was too much.

It took me a long time to figure out that the so-called remnants of the former dynasty were actually some distant relatives of the late emperor of the previous dynasty.

Seeing the collapse of their family and country, these people were afraid that they would be implicated in the future or for side reasons, so they came to Qishan with their only remaining belongings, and have been incognito since then.

More than 100 years have passed since the fall of the previous dynasty, and these people are far away from strife and live a comfortable life. The population has also multiplied from generation to generation from the original 1,000 people.

And the imperial court at that time may not have known about the existence of these people, but they were just too lazy to care.

Although the founding emperor of Great Xia was the world on horseback, he acted benevolently after ascending the throne, and he was not a descendant of the last emperor, and the relatives of the royal family of the previous dynasty were more than tens of thousands of people, if all these people were killed, then they must first be prepared to be condemned by the world.

As the year passed, some people longed for the outside world, so they quietly went out of the mountains and settled in the Qindi area. Over the past hundred years, the population has grown larger and stronger, and these people have also taken root in Qindi.

However, there are still some people who remember the ancestral teachings and stay in the mountains, and they make a living from farming.

A few decades ago, there was a major famine in Qindi, and the border was unstable at that time, so many people who could not survive fell into the grass.

It was also from then on that Xianyunzhai really became a mountain bandit. But it is also like what the people of Xianyang County said.

Although they became mountain bandits, they never hurt anyone's lives, but only collected some tolls from the rich gentry, until seven years ago, the old boss died unexpectedly, and the new boss who succeeded him was a real villain. Engaged in murder and overkill.

Originally, according to the normal development, the big boss killed someone, and the government led troops to the mountains to suppress the bandits, and the matter should have ended like this. But there were changes along the way.

“…… The big boss killed so many people, and when he heard that the government would send someone over, the brothers were very flustered, and at first the big boss was too, and he planned to escape,

Later, when he came back from a trip, it was as if he had changed as a different person, and instead of panicking, he said that we were going to have a great creation.

The next night, some officers and soldiers went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, and the big boss took us to hide in advance, thinking that this was the method that the big boss said, but the next day someone quietly went to look, but found that all the officers and soldiers who went up the mountain were dead, and a fire was set at the scene. All traces have been erased,"

“…… Although the brothers didn't know exactly what happened, they vaguely knew that this was a more serious crime than murder.

Later, the big boss gathered all the people in the village and said, "We are the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and we have noble blood on our bodies, and now we have the opportunity to restore the country." If you want to have a future, stay and go to the village to do things.

But the big boss killed so many officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and the brothers would die if they went out, and he blocked all our retreats. ”

The other party is saying this. Although his eyes were dull, his tone carried a hint of sadness and helplessness.

Shen Mingjiao took a breath, probably connecting everything together, and then asked, "That Mr. Qin also appeared at that time. ”

"Yes, not long after that, people were sent up the mountain one after another, and a martial arts training ground was built on the mountain, and those people had someone in charge of training every day.

And we mountain bandits only need to practice once in a while. In the past, he continued to wander in the Qin land or farther away, burning and looting according to the orders of the great master. The brothers will get 10% of the money they have stolen, and the rest of the money will be used to support those who have been sent. ”

Shen Mingjiao immediately understood the meaning of his words, the prince or the queen of Gaochang buried many "fat sheep" in the hidden piles buried everywhere,

Then the information of these "fat sheep" was handed to the big boss through Mr. Qin, and the big boss sent the mountain bandits under him to slaughter these "fat sheep", and the money obtained was then used to raise private soldiers for the prince.

For a while, Shen Mingjiao didn't know what to say, and he didn't mention it, if he really let the prince ascend the throne, then Daxia would not be far from the country.

The road to the emperor has always been bloody, almost every generation of emperors can stand out and become emperors, their hands will not be clean, they may be in order to get on the throne and do all kinds of tricks, but they will never be so unreasonable to extinguish their conscience.

"So, for the sake of safety, three months ago, you mountain bandits scattered and hid in various places in Xianyang County or Qindi, while those trained private soldiers hid elsewhere?"

"Yes, over the years, many people from the Xiao family have made homes in various parts of Qindi, some of us have defected in the past, and some have hid elsewhere."

And even if those people knew that the other party was a mountain bandit, they didn't dare to report to the official because they were afraid of being sitting.

Moreover, several high-ranking officials in Qindi are all princes, and even if they really go to the official mansion to sue them, there will be no result.

"Do you know where those private soldiers are hidden?"

“…… I don't know, only Mr. Qin knows about this. ”

Shen Mingjiao is not surprised, this is the biggest secret of the entire Xianyun Village, naturally it is impossible for everyone to know.

"Then why did you have such a bureau today, or how did you recognize me?"

She asked about the woman who pretended to be the county lord of Jianing, and it was obvious that the men were just following orders.

The woman said dumbly:

“…… After the girl committed suicide by hunger strike, in order to survive, I took the initiative to seduce the big boss, saying that the set of diamond jewelry that the girl brought on her body may be worth a fortune, and the big boss was a little moved, but Mr. Qin scolded us for being stupid, saying that since the diamond jewelry is so precious, take it out and sell it to someone who has a heart to check a quasi,

My plan fell through, and I was cleaned up by the big boss.

Coincidentally, two days ago, someone came to a pawnshop on South Street with a blue diamond earring, and I happened to live next door with the big boss, I accidentally saw it, and recognized at a glance that the earring was the one that the girl lost.

So I reported the matter to the big boss, and Mr. Qin came up with the idea, and asked people to pretend to be merchants, and sold the blue diamond head and the other set in the cage to the largest jewelry shop in Xianyang County. and then in the dark. ”

In this way, Shen Mingjiao was purely by mistake. As for why this woman recognized her identity, it was probably because of the floating light.

People in the upper circles of the capital know that Princess Su is often accompanied by a veiled girl of different races.

Seeing that the question was almost over, Shen Mingjiao thought about it, now that Feng Lisheng was not there, it was impossible for her to rush over and arrest all the people immediately, in order not to startle the snake for the time being, she erased and tampered with the memories of several people, and when a few people woke up, they would only remember that she ran away halfway.

After doing all this, Shen Mingjiao walked out of the dark alley, and at this time, the messenger in charge of the patrol happened to come over,

At the same time, Feng Wu, who had Feng Lisheng and disguised himself as the county guard of Xianyang, also came over.
