After staring at it for a long time, I remembered, isn't this the diamond given to her by Princess Asha of the Western Regions?
The mysterious man doesn't know if he wants this thing, but it is worth as much as jade in modern times.
Shen Yuyu held her waist with her left hand and hugged her stomach with her right hand and walked towards the bag of diamonds, wondering: "Where did you drag this little purse out from, little flower pig? I searched all over before and couldn't find it."
The little piglet hummed a few times, but didn’t know what the answer was. No matter how well-versed in human nature it is, it can’t speak human words.
However, it understood clearly. Seeing that Shen Yuyu was trying to pick up the chewed purse but couldn't bend down, he hurried over to help.
He picked up the small purse and put the stool on the table so that Shen Yuyu could easily take it.
"That's right, take the baby." Shen Yuyu praised as he touched the melon seeds on the little pig's head. When he saw a few diamonds falling out on the ground, he ordered the little pig to pick them up and bring them to the table.
"I wonder if the mysterious uncle is gone. Can the diamonds be used to pay off the debt?" Shen Yuyu muttered, took a few diamonds and chased him out, but the mysterious businessman had long since disappeared.
"Then put it away and we'll talk about it later."
Shen Yuyu muttered, found a new purse, put the diamonds in it, and put them away properly.
After doing this, I took a basket and walked around in the fruit forest, picking some fruits that could be picked with my hands, and I had some space in my pocket.
It was freezing cold along the way, but Qi Hengdi wore thick woolen pants, woolen socks, scarf, and snow boots and didn’t feel cold at all.
With Shen Yuyu playing chess with him to relieve his boredom, Emperor Qi Heng felt very comfortable.
It was quite a sensation that an army of one million people marched toward the capital surrounded by a few carriages.
If it hadn't been for such blizzard weather that even carrier pigeons would lose their way, the news might have reached the capital long ago.
It is precisely because of this that the capital still knows nothing about the Battle of Jinzhou.
Ji Xun and his party traveled day and night and arrived in the capital as quickly as possible.
Along the way, they encountered people who could not afford to pay taxes and sold their children and daughters, people who fled south to avoid conscription, and people who froze to death without rice or food. The people were in dire straits.
"Wei Xuanyuan, this evil thief, has caused so much harm to our great Zhou Kingdom for the sake of the throne! He deserves to be killed!" Lin Yi couldn't help but clenched his fist.
After speaking, he looked at Ji Xun and said, "Your Highness, the capital is ahead of us, is there any good way to find Wei Xuanyuan as soon as possible?"
Wei Xuanyuan is a master of disguise. What is his status in the palace? What is his status in the Prime Minister's Mansion? No one knows.
Ji Xun tightened the reins and slowed down, looking at the city gate in the distance with his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Monitoring Prime Minister Zhou and Xia Luoluo, the person they treat respectfully will most likely be Wei Xuanyuan~~"
Through the eyes and ears in the palace, Ji Xun learned that Xia Luoluo had close contacts with a mysterious man outside the palace. This man should be Wei Xuanyuan.
"I will place Lin Yi and you guys in the palace, and Shadow Aqin will follow me in disguise and sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Yes." Several people said and quickly entered the city.
The capital city is also deserted, and it is no longer as bustling and lively as it used to be.
Many shops are closed, pedestrians are hurrying on the streets, and beggars in ragged clothes can be seen everywhere begging with broken bowls. When did the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom look like this?
Looking at the familiar streets, Ji Xun felt sad as he recalled the grand occasion when he and his wife first entered the capital a few years ago and the streets were crowded with people.
The turmoil in the court, wars and disasters are all suffering for the people of the world. Now it is time for all of this to end!
After Ji Xun made arrangements, he and Lin Yi split up. Lin Yi and others had people in the palace to support them, so it was not difficult to sneak into the palace.
On the other hand, Ji Xun and A Qin had to think of a way to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion legitimately.
Soon Ji Xun and the others came to a teahouse opposite the corner gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and stared at it from the second floor of the teahouse.
Not long after, a nun and two servants came out of the corner door one after another. Ji Xun and the other three hurriedly left the teahouse and followed them.
Not long after, the three of them were kidnapped by Ji Xun and Shadow into an old abandoned courtyard in the city.
"What is your status in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Tell me." Ji Xun used a knife to scratch the faces of the two servants and asked coldly.
"The younger one, the younger one's name is Ah Fu, and his name is Alai. We are all servants of Talent Pavilion."
Cai Cai Pavilion is the study room of 'Prime Minister Zhou', and the person who answered Ji Xun's words was Ah Fu, the same Ah Fu who took money from Zhou Lenghui and eavesdropped outside the study room every day.
Ah Fu nervously protected the baggage on his body as he spoke.
During this period, he explored the secrets of 'Prime Minister Zhou' and obtained a lot of money from Zhou Lenghui.
Now that Zhou Lenghui was married, he took the money and secretly left the house with his younger brother, preparing to escape and enjoy happiness, but he never expected to be kidnapped here by Ji Xun.
"Bring the baggage here." Ji Xun ordered the shadow when he saw Ah Fu holding the baggage tightly under his arm.
"Yes." Shadow took off the bundle from Ah Fu's shoulders, brought it to Ji Xun and opened it.
When Ji Xun saw so many banknotes in the bag, he immediately felt that this servant was not an ordinary person.
"Where did the money come from?" The cold light flashed and the cold tip of the sword was pressed against Ah Fu's throat, "Tell me honestly, otherwise you will be killed."
Ah Fu turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground and trembled, "Sir, please forgive me, I said, I said~~Yes, it was given to me by the eldest lady."
"Given it to the eldest lady? Why did she give you so much money?" Ji Xun narrowed his eyes and raised a faint smile on his lips.
Isn't the eldest lady Zhou Lenghui? Why did Zhou Lenghui give so much money to a servant? Moreover, this servant was a servant serving in "Prime Minister Zhou's" study. This is worth pondering.
Ah Fu didn't dare to say that, so he hesitated and said, "It was the slave who helped the eldest lady, and the eldest lady gave the reward to the slave."
"What help? Say.
Ah Fu stammered, "Slave, I saved the eldest lady's life a few days ago. The eldest lady accidentally fell into the lake.
"Lie." Ji Xun used a little force and the tip of the sword pierced his skin, and blood came out. "How thick is the ice on the lake in the snowy day? How can you fall into the lake if you can't even cut through it? If you dare again
If you don't keep your head straight, don't want it.'
After saying that, he moved closer to Ah Fu and said in a sharp tone: "Did you make some deal with the eldest lady? Is it possible that you knew that 'Prime Minister Zhou' was a fake? You exchanged this for money with the eldest lady?" Ji Xun thought
With his keen eyesight, he almost immediately judged Ah Fu's identity and his panicked look, and began to trick him into telling him something.
Sure enough, Ah Fu's eyes were filled with panic after hearing Ji Xun's last few words.
"What, how can this happen? How could I, a servant, know about that kind of thing?"
This sentence is enough to show that Ah Fu really knows that "Prime Minister Zhou" is someone else's counterfeit, but this secret alone should not be enough for him to exchange so much money from Zhou Lenghui.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun grabbed Ah Fu's collar and pressed towards Ah Fu with an intimidating pressure, his eyes looked like sharp knives.
"Except that Prime Minister Zhou is a fake, what else do you know? As long as you tell the truth, I will let you two brothers go, and I won't give you any money."
"Who are you?" Ah Fu looked at Ji Xun in surprise.
