The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

Because of this disaster, Fengying was sent back to the capital.

The one who stayed behind was Feng Sheng.

However, Feng Sheng has been trying to find out the whereabouts of Princess Dongyang these days, and she is not in Huzhou either.

After receiving the news, he rushed here while sending his men to investigate the whereabouts of the two villains based on the appearance of the two villains provided by his master.

Xiao Beiwang frowned and felt a little relieved after reading the message.

However, he did not stop to rest. Instead, he ate some dry food and water and continued on his way.

He didn't dare stop, for fear that he would be too late and Shuxin and the others would be in danger.

At 9:00 p.m., they turned into a valley and finally saw a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

How could there be such a small farmyard in such a deep mountain, and in such a remote place?

Xiao Beiwang couldn't help but feel suspicious.

However, before they could get close, Xiao Beiwang frowned.

"Sir, there is a smell of blood."

Zhao Qing sniffed lightly and said to Xiao Beiwang.

Xiao Beiwang nodded.

Then the two of them quickened their pace and rushed towards the yard.

The gate to the yard was open.

There were two bodies lying in the yard.

A man and a woman, both in their fifties.

There were messy footprints in the yard, and it seemed that many people had come.

There are more than ten people.

The two men quickly went forward to check on the two bodies.

After reading it, Xiao Beiwang had a rough judgment in his mind.

There were no scars on the two men's bodies, but black blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths. It seemed that they both died of poisoning.

The poison was hidden in the gaps between their teeth. It seemed that they bit open the poison sac in their teeth in a desperate situation, causing the poison to cause them to die.

Xiao Beiwang examined their hands and found calluses on their fingers from farm work.

It seems that these two people were indeed farmers in the past.

However, there were no new calluses on their hands, indicating that these two people had not been digging for food in the fields for a long time.

That means I haven't done farm work for a long time.

Xiao Beiwang frowned in thought.

But at this moment, Zhao Qing found a lot of gold and silver valuables in the house.

"Sir, look!"

Zhao Qing threw the two bundles on the ground, revealing the contents.

There are all kinds of jewelry as well as gold and silver.

However, many pieces of jewelry are not complete sets. Some are a pair, while others only have one.

For example, a pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings, etc.

Seeing this, Xiao Beiwang had some vague guesses in his mind.

It’s amazing that he can hide so many gold and silver jewelry at home, and they are all of this style.

Moreover, these treasures were not hidden properly, but were just stored randomly.

You can tell at a glance that these things come easily, but they are not obtained through legitimate means.

In this way, the identities of these two people are obvious.

They must be accomplices of those two criminals!

The hateful thing is that these two people are already dead, and there is no way to get any information from them about the whereabouts of Shuxin and the others.

He secretly hated it.

Who was one step faster than him and destroyed this place?

Liu Dongtang, who was still on his way, suddenly shuddered.

He thought it was because the night wind was too cold and he caught a cold.

Two hours ago, he finally led his men to find the gang's hideout and captured the old couple.

Before they could be questioned, the two men committed suicide by taking poison.

It's so unlucky!

Seeing that only his group of people followed, he felt relieved.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Third Prince did not send anyone to hunt down these two criminals.

Just as Miss Shu Jiaorong said, she only trusts herself.

She told herself those things in the hope that she could catch the two bad guys and kill all those girls.

When he left, he told the Third Prince that he had messed up what he had asked him to do.

He said that he wanted to stay and work with the Third Prince so that he could better help Shu Jiaorong.

Shu Jiaorong, also known as Tao Jiaojiao, knew it clearly.

She had to find a way to help Liu Dongtang deal with Liu Jinyan.

In this way, she can gain a henchman who is absolutely loyal to her.

Yes, in her heart, Liu Dongtang was just a dog who could be used at will.

If Shuxin knew about this, she would probably feel speechless but appropriate.

After all, in modern times, isn’t someone who relentlessly pursues his or her loved one but fails to get any results called a bootlicker?

To some extent, Tao Jiaojiao's idea is very modern.

Tao Jiaojiao followed Liu Jinyan into the city. After they settled down, she told him about how she met Liu Dongtang and asked him to catch the two criminals for her.

Liu Jinyan had already met Xu Qian at this time, and was having a headache when he learned that the plague had broken out.

He had no time to care about Tao Jiaojiao's affairs.

When he heard Tao Jiaojiao say that Liu Dongtang had already gone to chase the two bad guys, he snorted coldly and looked unhappy.

"If he can really catch those two criminals, it can be considered as his redemption!"

Liu Jinyan has an arrogant attitude.

He was still filled with anger at Liu Dongtang for messing up his job and causing him to be blocked by refugees at the city gate.

"Your Highness, you are kind-hearted. Liu Dongtang knows this and will work even harder for you in the future."

Tao Jiaojiao said slowly, looking at Liu Jinyan with eyes full of admiration.

Liu Jinyan felt comfortable when Tao Jiaojiao praised him, so the expression on his face relaxed a little.

Tao Jiaojiao observed Liu Jinyan's expression and felt relieved.

It seems that Liu Jinyan will not send anyone to catch those two criminals.

However, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that Liu Jinyan didn't care much about her.

But Liu Jinyan is a prince. Now the second prince is gone and the eldest prince is in trouble again.

It is no secret inside and outside the court that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in poor health.

In this way, Liu Jinyan might be the one with the greatest hope of inheriting the throne.

If I could marry him and help him ascend the throne, I might become the queen who rules the country.

Thinking of this, Tao Jiaojiao suddenly walked in front of Liu Jinyan and knelt down gently.

"Your Highness, I secretly asked Liu Dongtang to help me catch the villain. Now that I have returned, I have seen the situation in the city and found that you are in urgent need of help. Your Highness, please punish me!"

Tao Jiaojiao knelt straight with a respectful attitude, but her slightly pursed lips revealed that she felt a little aggrieved.

When Liu Jinyan saw Tao Jiaojiao like this, his heart softened immediately.

I was originally a little unhappy about the contact between Tao Jiaojiao and Liu Dongtang, but now my displeasure has mostly disappeared.

He quickly stood up and went to help Tao Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, why would I punish you? You and I are still so distant. Don't you know how I feel?"

In such a hurry, Liu Jinyan even forgot to call himself.

Tao Jiaojiao refused to get up and just looked up at Liu Jinyan.

When Li Pingchuan saw this, he spontaneously walked out of the house and stood guard at the door.

"Your Highness, I thought you would be very busy and would not be able to spare any manpower to catch those two criminals. I, I acted on my own initiative in a moment of anxiety..."

There were tears in her eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to let them fall.

Look from Liu Jinyan's perspective.

The woman in front of him was tearful and timid, but the look she gave him was full of admiration and love.

This couldn't help but make his heart flutter.

In fact, he was too busy and did not immediately send anyone out to catch the two criminals.

Now that Tao Jiaojiao said this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Naturally, he felt both indebted and pity towards Tao Jiaojiao.

Tao Jiaojiao glanced at Liu Jinyan's expression and felt very proud.
