Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

Chapter 334 The Concubine Whose Appearance Was Plundered by the Heroine 17

Sheng Qiyue also felt the commotion outside and asked, "What's going on?"

Before Jimo Yuan could answer, the carriage was stopped by someone.

"Thieves have entered the Governor's Mansion. All residents of the city will be subject to investigation."

Jimo Yuan narrowed his eyes and lifted the car curtain: "Commander Sun, do I have to be checked too?"

"It's Master He." Commander Sun said, "The order was given by the Admiral. Even the prefect has to investigate. Please, you and the others in the car, get out and walk a few steps."

Jimo Yuan pretended to be angry but dared not say anything: "Just take two steps."

He brought Sheng Qiyue down from the carriage. When Commander Sun saw Sheng Qiyue, he was inevitably stunned for a moment. Like many onlookers on the street, he stared at Sheng Qiyue with burning eyes.

Seeing this, Jimo Yuan hurriedly stood in front of Sheng Qiyue to protect her from the prying eyes of outsiders.

Commander Sun looked away with regret, and sighed: "There is such a stunning beauty in the world, no wonder Master He was able to be so cruel and turn over a new leaf."

Everyone nodded. With such a beauty as their companion, other women seemed to be mediocre.

Jimo Yuan snorted impatiently: "Have you finished the investigation? I want to go back."

Commander Sun had already dispelled his doubts when he saw He Wenmao's face. He Wenmao was a well-known playboy, uneducated and without any skills. How could he possibly enter the governor's mansion and steal things?

He glanced at Sheng Qiyue again, and then said, "Okay."

"let's go!"

Jimo Yuan took Sheng Qiyue back to the carriage and drove away.

Commander Sun looked at the carriage going away for a long time before he led his troops to continue the investigation.

At the gate of He Mansion, Sheng Guangyao and Wang Erniu were frightened by the increasing number of soldiers and officers on the street, so they ran away. When Sheng Qiyue and Jimo Yuan came back, they ran into the soldiers and officers who entered the mansion to search.

At this moment, she was wearing a moon-white long dress and had no makeup on her face, but she exuded a fresh and unworldly beauty. Not surprisingly, she received a number of stunning and obscure glances.

She felt a little uneasy and pulled Jimo Yuan's sleeve.

Jimo Yuan patted her hands and whispered, "Don't panic, I will protect you."

The officers and soldiers did not dare to act recklessly and left.

The prefect looked worried and called his son to him. "I have found a good academy for you. Go there tomorrow and take Jiahao with you. I will prepare enough money for you."

Jimo Yuan saw that he was distracted and guessed, "But what happened?"

The prefect was surprised at his son's sharpness and sighed: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just go if your father tells you to go."

Jimo Yuan: "If you don't tell me, I won't leave."

The prefect saw his son's stubborn temper coming up again, and his eyes turned black with anger: "Now is not the time to go against your father. If you don't leave, our family will be wiped out!"

Jimo Yuan probably guessed what was going on, but he showed just the right amount of panic on his face and patted his chest.

"Don't scare me, what happened?"

The prefect sat dejectedly in a chair, as if he had aged many years, and spoke slowly.

"Dongti Prefecture is a major salt-producing prefecture. The salt that should have belonged to the government is now controlled by Admiral Lu's army, causing chaos in the private sale of official salt. The national treasury loses a large amount of silver every year, and all this money goes into the pockets of Admiral Lu and the salt merchants. Those who know the inside story and are unwilling to go along with them have been liquidated, and we will be the next one."

Jimo Yuan asked, "Since everyone has surrendered, why doesn't Dad surrender?"

"Are you talking like a human being?" The prefect glared at him. "The court promoted me to be the prefect because they trusted me. I cannot betray your majesty's trust in me. Unfortunately, all the memorials I wrote to your majesty fell on deaf ears."

At this point he sighed again: "Even if it is to save myself, I cannot do something against my conscience. This will make me despised by the world."

Jimo Yuan knew where the memorials had gone, but they were stopped by Admiral Lu. Among the things he stole happened to be a thick stack of memorials written by the prefect. No wonder Admiral Lu wanted to get rid of him.

He said, “I was wrong.”

"This is the first time you admit your mistakes in front of me." The prefect suddenly smiled and said, "Reading really makes you wise. Promise me that you will be a sensible person in the future."

Jimo Yuan nodded, feeling somewhat complicated.

He was not the real He Wenmao, and he thought that if the prefect was listening to his teachings, it was an outsider, and his beloved son was being held captive by him, he would probably fight him to the death.

The prefect patted his shoulder and said comfortedly: "Good boy, tomorrow we will go to see Jiahao. You stay in the temple. I will come back alone, and then you can go. The farther the better. Don't come back before Admiral Lu is defeated."

Because of his congenital deficiency and weak body, Lu Jiahao has been recuperating in a temple since he was a child. The abbot of the temple is well versed in medicine, and his body is now almost recovered. Even if he had not encountered the current incident, he would have returned home to study soon.

Jimo Yuan walked towards He Wenmao's yard with a heavy heart. He had a photographic memory and had seen the map of He's mansion, so he knew which way to go.

On the way, Jimo Yuan heard a strange bird call and looked up suddenly. It was Shen Shaoyan.

He was hiding in the dense trees and winking at him.

Feeling that there was no one around, Jimo Yuan used his right foot to gain momentum and spun himself up to the treetop.

"Those people were chasing us so hard last night, and I was afraid that the evidence would be lost, so I put the things I found in the tree hole of the old locust tree in Linshui Hutong. It is just across the street from the Governor's Mansion and opposite the entrance of the Yi family's old house. It is very easy to recognize.

The tree hole is very high, and it is not easy for others to find it. You are very good at light work. After you take it, hurry to the capital, along with the letter and account book from the prefect, and let my father order him to be executed."

The admiral was a frontier minister, a first-rank official, in charge of the land or water officers and soldiers of a province. The land admiral was in charge of the waterways. Without the emperor's order, others could not easily do anything to him.

Shen Shaoyan said seriously: "Yes."

Jimo Yuan said: "I will give you a handwritten letter. Father will believe you after reading it."

Shen Shaoyan nodded, then asked a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, did Qiyue trouble you last night?"

Jimo Yuan was a little uncomfortable: "She mistook me for you. It's a bit difficult to deal with. I will ignore her for a while and explain it to you when you come back."

Shen Shaoyan felt distressed, and Jimo Yuan asked, "Do you want to go see her?"

Shen Shaoyan shook his head. He was afraid that he would not want to leave after seeing her. The Seventh Prince was well-known for not being interested in women. He felt relieved to leave July to the Seventh Prince.

Jimo Yuan was a little surprised, but without saying anything, he flew down the tree and handed a letter to Shen Shaoyan a quarter of an hour later.

Remind him: "Be careful and come back quickly."

Shen Shaoyan nodded heavily, flew out of the He Mansion, found the physical evidence that Jimo Yuan mentioned, and hurried to the capital.
