At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Nanling County Pier is often visited by merchant ships from all over the world. Yu Yunxin looked for several places near the pier but couldn't find a suitable place. Finally, when the sun was about to set, she found a mountain village. There were two rows of peach trees at the entrance of the village. If it was spring, the scenery of this mountain village would be more beautiful.

"There are six or seven pavilions and four or five smoke-filled villages. This must be the place. Let's send someone to inquire about it!" Yu Yunxin looked at Yu Linshan and said.

"No need to ask, this is the farm of the prefect's wife, you can go find her!" Yu Linshan replied directly.

"Cousin, how did you know?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"The prefect's wife often comes in and out of here, and everyone in the entire Nanling County knows it." Yu Linshan said nonchalantly.

The next day, Yu Yunxin sent a visiting card to the wife of the prefect. Madam Yang was very happy to receive the visiting card from Princess Xingguo and arranged for her to stay at Taohua Manor in Nanjun.

"It's a pity, Princess. If it were spring, the scenery here would be so beautiful." Madam Yang said.

"Madam, I specially made a cup of milk tea for you today." Yu Yunxin said respectfully.

"Princess, this doesn't mean you are the princess appointed by the emperor himself. I am just the wife of a prefect. How can I have the nerve to ask you to personally make tea for me?" said Madam Yang.

"Madam Yang, you're welcome." Yu Yunxin went through the motions of making tea and poured a cup of milk tea for Madam Yang smoothly.

"Why does this tea have a milky flavor? It's sweet and has a tea flavor. It's so delicious." Mrs. Yang took a sip and spoke in her hometown dialect.

"The reason I came here today is actually to discuss something with Madam." Yu Yunxin said straight to the point.

"Princess, please tell me whatever you want to say." Madam Yang glanced at the playful girl in front of her and said.

"I want to open a wine workshop and a popcorn workshop in your Taohua Manor." Yu Yunxin said.

Madam Yang jumped up happily when she heard this and said, "Great, great, princess, you came to me. To be honest, I won't hide it from you. In fact, Taohua Manor also has a winemaking workshop, but the wine they brew is not as good as your light-fragrance, strong-fragrance, or sauce-fragrance wines."

Then he took another sip of milk tea and said, "If the princess doesn't mind, I'll give you the recipe for the peach blossom wine from Peach Blossom Manor. As for the profit, you have the final say. I've always liked wine."

Yu Yunxin heard this and realized that this wife of the prefect really liked wine! There was a ready-made wine workshop and she also loved wine, which couldn't be better.

"Madam Yang, I cannot take advantage of you for nothing. How about we split the price 50-50 as long as the wine is produced by Taohua Manor?" Yu Yunxin said.

"No need. I'll just provide the venue and the recipe for peach blossom wine. How about 20-80? I'll take 20 and you take 80." Mrs. Yang said.

"Mrs. Yang, aren't you suffering too much from this?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"The princess is also a straightforward person. Don't forget the wine! Come on, I'll take you to visit my wine workshop. If there's anything you want to expand, just leave it to me!" After saying that, Mrs. Yang took Yu Yunxin for a walk around Taohua Manor.

In winter, the brook here gurgles and flows to the fields on both sides. There are rows of tall peach trees planted here. Unlike the artificial planting now, the peach trees here grow wantonly without artificial pruning, which is very comfortable to look at. When standing on this mountain and looking into the distance, you can see the dock in the distance. There are all kinds of merchant ships moored at the dock.

"The peach trees here only bloom and bear fruit, so in spring we make peach wine. In addition to peach wine, our wine is ordinary rice wine and coarse grain wine." Madam Yang stood on the pavilion on the top of the mountain and pointed to the rows of peach trees in the field. Yu Yunxin saw that there were not many people in the wine workshop. The workshop was okay, but there was a lack of a place to store wine near the river.

"Madam, you don't have a wine cellar here?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"The wine here is not as good as the ones we have. They don't give it away directly to restaurants after it's brewed. My prefect's mansion does have a large wine cellar. I'll have my servants bring a few jars of peach blossom wine to the princess later. The princess can taste it. It's very fragrant." said the prefect's wife.

"Thank you, ma'am. There are mountains and water here. Ma'am, I think we can dig a cave halfway up the mountain and build a wine cellar or wine workshop. We can expand it by two times." Yu Yunxin said as she looked down at Taohua Manor from the mountain.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to whatever the princess says. Leave it to me." Mrs. Yang listened carefully to Yu Yunxin's plan.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Yang." Yu Yunxin didn't expect that she could reach an agreement with Madam Yang so smoothly.

After seeing the whole picture of Taohua Manor, Yu Yunxin asked Qiu Shuang and Lu Lian who was standing aside. Lu Lian was the girl with the mark of Qianyue Valley on her back. Now she only needed to take Qiu Shuang with her, so she took her with her. She took out a paintbrush, drew a plan of the wine workshop, and handed it to Madam Yang.

Madam Yang took it and looked at it and said, "Princess, your painting is so beautiful. I understand it as soon as I see it. Don't worry, I will invite the best craftsmen in Nanling County." In ancient times, the thing that was not lacking the most was labor. As long as you were given food, there would be people willing to work hard.

"Qiu Shuang can now go to Huashan Village to mobilize a group of people to come here to make wine. You go to the tea garden and ask Qiu Yingying to arrange it." Yu Yunxin said, then looked at Lu Lian and said, "Lu Lian, you can follow me today. Go to the carriage to get my zither. Madam Yang and I have something to discuss here."

"Yes, the princess." Qiu Shuang and Lu Lian went down the mountain together.

"Princess, can you also play the piano?" Madam Yang looked at Yu Yunxin in surprise.

"My mother taught me chess, piano, calligraphy and painting since I was young. It was only after I came to Nanling County that there were no good teachers, so I had to learn on my own. I'm sorry that I'm not good at playing the piano," said Yu Yunxin.

"Princess, your paintings are very beautiful. They really opened my eyes. It's a pity that my son has already married and had children." Mrs. Yang did not say anything else.

After Lu Lian brought the zither up, Yu Yunxin played a little tune, "Ban Hu Sha". By the time she finished the tune, Madam Yang and several maids were fascinated.

After coming to his senses, he looked at Yu Yunxin and said, "My lord, you played really well just now. What song is this? If you don't have good piano skills, I'm afraid no one in Nanjun City can be your opponent."

"Madam, I just played this song casually." Yu Yunxin said.

"I didn't expect that today I would not only have the pleasure of drinking such mellow milk tea, but also my ears. I could listen to such a beautiful tune that lingered in my ears for three days. If there was another little tune, I can't imagine how beautiful it would be." Mrs. Yang said after she came to her senses after listening.

"Mrs. Yang, you are too kind. I just felt inspired by the beautiful scenery. If you don't mind, I will sing a song for the governor."

"Great! What I like most is listening to ditties. The ditties that the princess played just now were very nice, and it was even more amazing with her sweet voice." Madam Yang became interested when she heard that the princess wanted to sing a song for her, and she sat upright opposite Yu Yunxin.

"Ten miles of peach blossoms, the age of waiting to get married, the pearls of the phoenix coronet are tied into the hair, the sandalwood brushes the jade bracelets on the veil, leaving only a cup of bud-colored tea. If the mountains and rivers in my heart, you can see them with your eyes." The melodious sound of the piano started, and the song reached the ears of the wife of the prefect. Madam Yang seemed to have returned to the time when she was waiting to get married. She remembered that after she married the prefect, her husband treated her very well. After entering the house, she became the mistress of the house. Prefect Yang did not marry a concubine. The two of them took their children to Peach Blossom Manor, picking peach blossoms and brewing peach blossom wine. The scene seemed to be just yesterday.

Madam Yang clapped her hands after hearing this and said, "This song is really good, Princess. If you are free, you can come here often."

Before she could open her mouth, a maid in gray-brown clothes ran over and said, "Madam, something bad has happened. When the master went to Shangyang County to supervise the execution, some gangsters broke into the execution ground and injured the master."

"What? Something happened to the master." Mrs. Yang came to her senses immediately, stood up, hurriedly pulled up her skirt and ran down the mountain.

When Yu Yunxin heard this, she asked, "Isn't her father from Shangyang County also there?"

"Madam Yang, I'll go too later." After saying that, he asked Lu Lian to take the zither and follow Madam Yang down the mountain in a hurry. They came to the backyard of the Nanling County Library and called Yu Linshan to ride fast horses together to Shangyang County.

"Don't worry, Xin'er. Godfather will be fine." Yu Linshan chased after Yu Yunxin anxiously and even whipped her several times on horseback, fearing that the little girl would roll off.

Two hours ago, more than a dozen men in black took Wu Yue and a woman to rob the execution ground in Shangyang City.

"Dad, I'm here to save you!" Wu Yue said as he looked at Wu Jinke who was being taken to the execution ground.

At this time, the onlookers also saw the young lady hiding in the boudoir and recognized her. Some women were not afraid of death because they had been bullied by the Wu family and now they could finally turn things around, so they surrounded Wu Yue.

The man in black was paid to do the job, so he only needed to save Wu Jinke and would not go to rescue Wu Yue.

At this time, Wu Jinke's hands and neck were locked tightly with shackles. His body and face were covered with rotten vegetable leaves and excrement thrown by Shangyang people. The stench was so bad that even the executioner covered his nose when he was sent to the execution platform.

When the clear female voice was heard at the execution ground, Yang Taishou and Yu Tinghai immediately arranged for the yamen runners to keep a close eye on the prisoners. At this time, Wu Jinke saw a group of men in black with joy on their faces.

The black-clothed man was very fast and killed five yamen runners in one go. The detectives holding broadswords at the execution platform had never seen such a scene before and were all panicked. Yu Tinghai immediately drew out the sword from his waist and started fighting with the black-clothed man. With his master swordsmanship, he knocked two black-clothed men away with a few swords. The executioners on the side were veterans in the execution ground. When they saw the black-clothed man jumping up to rob the human trafficker, they immediately picked up the nine-ring broadsword and fought with the black-clothed man.

Wu Jinke's shackles were broken by the man in black with a knife, and he immediately came to Wu Jincai and said, "Brother, let's go."

"I won't leave. My son is gone, and my family property is gone. There is no point in me living anymore. Second brother, please go." Wu Jincai cried.

"You two brothers are both people who the emperor has ordered to be beheaded. No one can escape." Seeing that the Wu brothers were uncuffed by the men in black, Yu Tinghai appeared on the execution platform in a flash.

Upon seeing this, Prefect Yang's first reaction was to hide behind the executioner's chair. When he saw that the men in black had gone to the platform, he immediately stood up and sent out archers to surround the entire execution ground. The people who had been watching saw that the prefect was going to shoot these black-clad killers in person, so they all cooperated and withdrew from the execution ground. Some farmers quickly went home and picked up their hoes, and used carts to surround the execution ground to prevent the culprits from the Wu family from escaping.

Although Wu Jinke was from Tongzhou, he had some martial arts experience. Seeing the men in black around him falling down one by one after being shot by arrows, he picked up the knife on the ground, rolled down the execution platform, jumped in front of Governor Yang, and put the knife across Governor Yang's neck.

"Don't move, Your Excellency the Governor, you'd better behave yourself." As he said this, he directly blocked Governor Yang in front of him.

"Yu Tinghai and the archers, stop it, otherwise your governor will die in front of you." Wu Jinke said.

The three remaining men in black immediately stopped their knives when they saw this situation and flew behind Wu Jinke.

"Wu Jinke, quickly release Governor Yang. You can't escape." Yu Tinghai saw this scene. Who is he? He was the former Minister of Justice and rose through the ranks from governor. To him, these are just a few jumping clowns. He looked at Wu Jinke with contempt and said.

"Master Yu, you...you have to save me!" At this time, Yang Taishou was shaking with fear and said, "Wu Jinke, it's not me who wants to kill you, but I am killing you on the order of the emperor. Do you...think you can escape Shangyang County?"

"I don't care! You tell them to all retreat or I'll kill you." Wu Jinke gripped the knife tighter, not giving Governor Yang a chance to escape. The blade got closer to Governor Yang, as if his neck would fall to the ground if he moved.

"Although you are from the same state as Nanling County, what have you done? You have abused your power for the personal gain of your family. The people of Shangyang County will not let you go. Look around you." Yu Tinghai said and gave a wink to Governor Yang.

But the silly Governor Yang didn't understand any of this and he didn't understand what Yu Tinghai meant.

When Wu Jincai looked around, he saw the people surrounding the execution ground, each holding a hoe and pushing carts, forming three layers inside and outside.

Indeed, if they could escape the execution ground and the encirclement of the people, could they? This was also the fault of his elder brother Wu Jincai, who often exploited the local people. Looking at these thin people, his eyes were staring at him.

"It's not the emperor who wants to kill you, it's the people of Nanling County who will not let you go." Yu Tinghai spoke each word in a sonorous and powerful voice, and the people around him could hear it.

Some people responded: "Yes, we hate the Wu family."

"Wu family, you are stealing my fertile land."

"Wu family, you caused my daughter to be sold into a brothel."

"Wu Jinke, you dog official, it was you and Magistrate Ge who killed my son who filed the complaint. Give me back my son's life." Outside the execution ground, the people accused the Wu family of being unkind and unjust, of defrauding the people, and of oppressing the people. Their voices were getting louder and louder. Magistrate Ge, who was being held at the execution ground, had fainted by now and could not have heard anything. If he could have heard anything, he would have regretted what he had done before.

Qiu Yong and Qiu Yingying were also in the crowd with Zhao Junshi and a few others. They were mainly there to see the fate of the Wu family and Magistrate Ge who had persecuted them into bandits. They had not expected that the Wu family would actually rush over and chop off their heads, and cause such a commotion.

Wu Jincai heard this and said, "Brother, we are wrong. My son is dead and we have nothing left. You can kill him if you want."

"Even if I have to die today, I will drag Yang Taishou down with me." Just as he was about to chop Yang Taishou's neck, Yu Tinghai's sword flew out, Yang Taishou leaned back, and Wu Jinke's sword fell and chopped directly under Yang Taishou's left arm. Fortunately, Wu Jinke was pierced through the throat by the sword. Otherwise, Yang Taishou's arm would have been chopped off.

The men in black behind him were shot dead by the archers when they tried to retreat, and the last three men in black also fell to the ground.

"I haven't drawn my sword for a long time. I am no longer the same as I used to be." Yu Tinghai said as he helped Governor Yang up, then pulled the sword from Wu Jinke and put it directly into the scabbard.

"Thank you, Lord Yu. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago." Governor Yang said after surviving the disaster.

"Aren't you in pain, Governor Yang? You're bleeding." Yu Tinghai said, pointing at Governor Yang's injured hand.

"Oh! It hurts! Hurry up and find a doctor to bandage it." Governor Yang said as he touched his bleeding hand and screamed, and quickly asked his men to find a doctor.
