Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

King Junshan never expected that Tao Zhihong, who was in charge of the camp outside the capital, would lead his troops here.

Upon seeing this, his personal bodyguard Fei Qiong raised the knife in his hand and stood in front of his master.

He tried desperately to rush out, but as soon as he swung his sword, he was stabbed through by Tao Zhihong's superb long sword and died on the spot.

Blood splattered on the faces of King Junshan and Wang Lingchang.

They were stunned for a moment.

The people protecting behind them were all wiped out by Xiao Lichen and his men.

"Take down these two scums of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

At Tao Zhihong's command, several soldiers from the barracks who were as strong as bulls rushed forward, tied the arms of King Junshan and Wang Lingchang behind their backs, and pressed them so that they could not lift them up.

"You old man, you have finally come to this day. Last time in the court, you openly slandered me for embezzling military funds and plotting rebellion. Now it seems that you are talking about yourself!"

Tao Zhihong had a stern face and cursed Wang Lingchang a few times.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say!"

Wang Lingchang is quite stubborn!

At Tao Zhihong's suggestion, the two men were handed over to Xiao Lichen for handling.

After Xiao Yuwei took over, he immediately escorted the two men back to the capital overnight.

"General Tao, I hope your people can help transport the silver in this cave a few times."

Xiao Lichen was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the cave. He spoke politely and bowed to Tao Zhihong for help.

"You are too polite, Master Xiao. The things inside will be safely delivered to the designated location before dawn."

Tao Zhihong waved his hand indifferently.

"It's all thanks to Prince Xiao that these two extremely evil court parasites were arrested tonight. Otherwise, the Great Zhou would be facing another bloody storm!"

King Junshan Xiao Long, as a prince of the Great Zhou and Your Majesty's uncle, has been planning a rebellion for more than ten years. In order to frame Duke Zhuguo for treason, he colluded with the northern barbarians, launched several wars against the Great Zhou on the front line, helped the northern barbarians pass on information, and caused the deaths of many soldiers of the Great Zhou.

His hands were covered with countless blood. For a manly general like Tao Zhihong, he wished he could chop off his head on the spot.

When the Northern Barbarians invaded the border, he was still very young and was just a soldier in the cavalry battalion. It was thanks to his father-in-law, Wu Daozhi, who turned the tide and worked together with his eldest brother-in-law and a group of young generals. They fought bravely for three months and blocked the Northern Barbarians' cavalry outside the northern border defense line, thus defending the Great Zhou.

Otherwise, King Junshan and Wang Lingchang, who had colluded with him at the beginning, would be the great culprits for the destruction of the Great Zhou.

"They framed my grandparents and my family back then. Now, it's time for them to pay back."

At Xiao Lichen's signal, he left here with these people and returned to the capital.

Tao Zhihong looked at his departing back, admiration evident in his eyes.

The Crown Prince of Yong has grown into a man of great potential. With him around, the Zhou court will remain in peace.

Turning around, with Tao Zhihong's order, his men pushed cart after cart into the cave.

This made Tao Yuwei, who had been watching the excitement for most of the night, feel jealous.

Especially outside the cave, Tao Yuwei could not stop smiling when she saw with her own eyes the spectacular sight of carts after carts filled with gold, silver and other items, lined up in a long line and being pulled out of the cave.

[Oh my goodness, how many good things did the previous emperor hide here? ]

[If I could have so many good things, I would definitely go to the lottery every day. ]

In the mountains, Tao Zhihong was so frightened when he suddenly heard his daughter's voice that he almost dropped the long crowbar in his hand.

His face darkened when his eyes fell on the figures standing nearby outside the cave.

No wonder he didn't notice it just now. It turned out that his daughter was standing behind one of Prince Xiao's guards, and her figure was blocked by these people.

Seeing his daughter, Tao Zhihong shouted angrily, "Tao Yuwei, how dare you lie to me and your mother and say you were going to a farm outside Beijing to escape the summer heat?"

Dad's figure suddenly appeared, and Tao Yuwei was so frightened that she burst into laughter.

"Oh, Father, I really didn't lie to you. Look, this is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family of the Ministry of Rites. We are indeed spending the summer at a nearby farm!"

She quickly hugged her father's arm and kept saying nice things.

Only then did Tao Zhihong realize that in addition to her daughter, there was also a young girl.

It was not appropriate to continue scolding them in front of outsiders, so Tao Zhihong called two soldiers to escort his daughter and the others back to the farm.

As for why my daughter is here, is there any need to ask? Of course it is because of her special abilities.

He didn't know what to say, so he decided to settle the score with her when he got home.

"Stop wasting time and go!"

It's not safe for a girl to go to the mountains late at night. Fortunately, I know my daughter is very skilled.

[After a busy night and having seen the treasure, it’s time to go back. ]

Tao Yuwei raised her head and yawned, then pulled up the stiff Jiang Siyan and turned to leave.

The two of them and two soldiers were riding on horses, and they realized something was wrong after running for a while.

It turned out that the white-haired wolf king was still running behind them.

[Brother Wolf, please go back. I will send you the thank you gift in the afternoon after daybreak.]

【Okay, little girl, goodbye! 】

The white wolf turned and ran into the nearby woods and disappeared.

"Let's go back too!"

Tao Yuwei ignored Jiang Siyan's thoughtful look, and kept yawning and crying because she was so sleepy.

In this way, the two of them sat on the horses and were safely returned to the farm before dawn.

After they came back, they felt something was wrong in the yard, but because they had been running for most of the night and were very sleepy, they didn't pay much attention to it.

The two of them returned to their room, fell down and fell asleep.

In a village not far from the farm.

The hero Xiao Chengyan did not sleep all night.

He sat alone in the guest room arranged for him by the village chief. He felt uneasy all night and felt as if he had lost something particularly important.

A heart-wrenching pain invaded him and made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

He was not the only one who did not sleep well that night.

Xiao Lichen brought the captured Junshan King Xiao Long and Wang Lingchang back to the prison.

He didn't even have time to sleep and interrogated the two men overnight.

King Junshan was captured. Not only did he lose the treasure he had just found, but he also lost an arm. Perhaps he was heartbroken.

Soon after, he confessed.

He confessed that he had taken advantage of the late emperor's suspicion of Duke Zhuguo, the Grand Marshal of the Northern Frontier Army, who was more powerful than his master, and together with Wang Lingchang, he colluded with the northern barbarians, forged witnesses, and framed Duke Zhuguo's family for treason.

He even took advantage of Concubine Huo's feelings for him and framed Duke Zhuguo's youngest daughter for murdering the Fourth Prince, and was executed on the spot by the late Emperor.

Wang Lingchang no longer cared. He frankly confessed his crimes of treason and embezzlement of annual silver from the national treasury.

After getting the evidence, it was already bright outside.

After a simple wash, Xiao Lichen wrote the memorial and rushed to court.
