Chapter 70 Princess Wan'an

Two days later, the case was revealed. The housekeeper of the Cao Gang accidentally fell off the building while having an affair with another manager. In order not to be discovered, the manager falsely accused Zhu Youyuan of murder.

A false and wrong case that did not kill anyone almost led to a man being sentenced to death.

Even when the case was overturned and when Zhu Min's father was released from prison, his hand holding the pen was beaten to pieces. This was the torture performed by the jailer to make him confess his guilt.

Zhu Min almost cried when she saw her father. Although his father was restored to his innocence, he could not take the imperial examination and was unable to do anything else. What should they do if their family makes a living in the future?

In the end, Wei Shaosi took action to treat Zhu Youyuan. Although it might take a long time, it could be cured. Zhao Xin also asked Dan'er to leave a hundred taels of silver for the Zhu family, and asked Zhu Minke to work in the pharmacy and learn medical skills.

The person who revealed Zhu Min about the whereabouts of the princess was also found. In fact, there was no so-called conspiracy. It turned out to be a ranger. He accidentally saw the royal token on the waist of the guard and found Princess Luohe. Later, he happened to see Zhu Min's brother and brother pitiful, so he told her to seek justice from Princess Luohe.

Although Dan'er and the guards avoided any worries, the unjust and false cases and fear of the Cao Gang in the hands of the lower-level officials in Jiangnan were shocking.

County Magistrate Wang Sheng has been in Jinshan County for many years and has been in good relationships with the Cao Gang for as long as possible. I don’t know how many injustice there are.

Ten days later, Wang Sheng, who was dismissed, was sentenced to beheading, and a small official who was accomplice of the tiger was also sentenced to death.

Zhao Jin, who was far away in the capital, also focused part of his attention on the Jiangnan Cao Gang.

***

Although Yangcheng is still a little far from the border, the air is very dry. When you stop carefully, you can feel some wind with fine dust rushing on your face.

However, no one around Zhao Xin was yelling about being tired. Even Dan'er and Li'er, who were a woman, had been with the princess for so long, and had long been no longer as delicate and tender as they were in the palace.

In recent years, Zhao Xin has been to many places across the country and returned to his fiefdom.

I still remember that when I arrived in the South China Sea last year, she was a little excited to go out to sea. Unfortunately, the shipbuilding technology is not good enough now. If Zhao Xin really took a boat to sea, she would probably end the world early.

Zhao Xin was mainly interested in the famous business roads near Yangcheng. He heard that not only did business with the Dadi nobles, but also many small countries with unique charm. Therefore, after autumn, there were markets organized by merchants from various countries, which were very lively.

The yellow sand is everywhere, the sun is scorching,

A group of black shadows lying on a sand dune were dressed in alien races. The headed people stared at the city in the distance like eagles. When the spy came back, he showed a cruel smile and pointed to the direction of the city and said to the people under his command in Dadi's words.

"Did you see it? It's Daxi's city, with the best food, the white and tender Daxi women, and countless gold, silver and jewelry. You are all good guys to me, Dadi. If you want, go grab whatever you want, and kill them."

Hearing these words, Di people who had been fighting wild beasts for so many years were red.

Seeing that each of them was aroused by killing and ruthlessness, the leader Hu Yan was very satisfied. After completing the Khan's mission this time, he would definitely receive a heavy reward after returning.

"Not good, Di people are calling, run away quickly."

The Di people had seized two cities and three counties in a row, not to mention the robbed villages of all sizes. Because it happened too quickly, and the Di people cunned, they avoided the border guards and attacked near Yangcheng in just two days.

Because Yangcheng is close to the business road, it has collected a lot of oil and water every day. The prefect of Yangcheng has been eating a lot of food on weekdays. When he heard the news, he was so scared that he almost fell off the Grand Master's chair. Moreover, since His Majesty ascended the throne, both sides of the border have been peaceful, but unexpectedly, Di people suddenly came to kill him.

Listening to the servants' reports that Di people were all powerful, and they were like cutting melons and vegetables. The blood flowed into a river of people everywhere.

The prefect was sweating all over, and rode on the best fast horse in the government office overnight and ran away.

Even the prefect of the lord of Yicheng looked at the Di people and fled, and the officials in the government office were even more indiscriminate, cleaning up the fine and soft, and worryingly.

Zhao Xin, who was in the inn, had already heard the news late. The maids and guards beside her were shocked. This was too sudden.

Zhao Xin was a little surprised and immediately made a decision, "Go to Yangcheng Prefecture."

In the Yangcheng Government Office, no one dared to stop the guards after they took out the princess's order. The officials in the government office were even more frightened. Princess Luohe was actually in Yangcheng. If there was a case, they would be afraid that their family would be implicated.

"The lower official met with Princess Luohe, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Zhao Xin said in a deep voice, "Can the prefect be there?"

One by one, I look at you and I look at you. In the end, a large number of old officials with gray eyebrows spoke, "The prefect has left Yangcheng, just last night."

What surprised them was that the young royal princess was not in a hurry to escape for the prefect abandoning the city, and lost her temper regardless of the safety of the people. She just frowned slightly and spoke.

"Since the prefect is not here, I am urgently following the power. This palace will temporarily serve as the prefect in Yangcheng."

Everyone was surprised, including Zhao Xin's maids and guards, who all put Zhao Xin's safety first. Even if the Di people attacked, the first thing they thought about was to protect the princess from leaving safely.

But no one would raise objections, they all knew that the princess would not change it once she made a decision.

The officials in the government office dared not say anything. The princess' status is much higher than that of them, so it is natural to take over the power of a city at this time.

Zhao Xin's first order was to close the city gate and not allow anyone to enter and exit.

It was too late to let the people escape. The Di people rode horses, but they were all fat and strong. The fleeing people would be caught halfway.

The facts also proved that Zhao Xin's decisiveness was correct. Less than half an hour after closing the city gate, Di people came.

At the same time, the news of the invasion of Di people had spread throughout Yangcheng, and people were suddenly panicked. Although there had not been any war on the border for many years, most of the people in Yangcheng lived here by their ancestors, and they heard a lot of the ruthless deeds of Di people.

During the late emperor period, Di people often invaded the territory, and the court even married two royal women to maintain superficial peace.

Zhao Xin ordered officials to summon all the people in Yangcheng to the front of the government office, show up in person, and show their identities.

"I am the Luohe princess of the current dynasty. She will temporarily serve as the prefect in Yangcheng. I will share the hardships with the people of Yangcheng and prevent the Di people from entering the city and hurting the people at all."

The people of Yangcheng outside the government office were shocked, but in the princess's order, the officials of the government office were servile to her and Zhao Xin's extraordinary demeanor, no one doubted her identity.

Zhao Xin actually doesn't like to call herself the palace, but obviously the more she shows her identity as a princess at this time, she can also give the people greater confidence and comfort.

Now even if the prefect abandons the city and flees, it will not disturb the people's hearts.

After several more orders were issued to arrange the people of Yangcheng, Zhao Xin checked the Yangcheng army. To be honest, it was not good, let alone blocking the Di people outside the city.

The nearest border guards transferred their troops to relieve the danger of Yang City would take six or seven days, and the Di people plundered a city, one day would be enough.

Perhaps because of the peace and peace, the border cities were a little relaxed, and Taicheng and three other counties were easily captured by the Di people.

This is also the reason why Daxi and the Di tribes often fail in the battle. If there are great battles, there will be victory or defeats between each other, but the Di people plundered the border prefectures and counties very quickly. After killing people, they plundered food and treasures and left. When the border troops arrived, they had already returned to the desert. It was their natural barrier. The Di people who could go deep into the heart of the desert and killed them. There were not many of them in the Daxi Dynasty for more than a hundred years.

However, in the past, the Di people plundered border prefectures and counties when they were not rich in water or grass or the land was frozen. If they had no food, they would come to Daxi to grab it.

This time the situation is different,

However, it is not important to examine the reasons for the Di people's surprise attack at this time. Let the people in the court think about how to defend Yangcheng when Zhao Xin has to consider.

Yangcheng is at the time of a merchandising market, and there are merchants from all sides, including some merchants from the Di tribe, and even some spies were mixed with. Otherwise, Taicheng would have been robbed by the Di people so quickly without any power to fight back.

Even though the city gate was quickly closed, some spies still spread the news.

Hu Yan received a letter tied to the flying eagle, and a smile appeared on his dark and scarred face.

"God bless me, Dadi, there is actually a Daxi princess in Yangcheng, who is still a real princess."

Hu Yan could already think of how much gold, silver and treasures he could get with Daxi after capturing this princess. Maybe there would be a city and he would get more rewards from the king. Daxi's emperor was very cunning. The two princesses who used to dowry in the past were not from the royal bloodline, but were just used to fool them.

Hu Yan immediately ordered, "Try your best to capture Yangcheng and capture Princess Daxi."

***

Although the border is thousands of miles away, the court has received news too slowly. The main reason is that if the border troops are mobilized in large quantities, they will need to be urgently ordered by the emperor.

The court officials speculated whether the intention of the Di people to raid was a temptation or a prelude to the war. Different reasons also relate to how to order the border troops.

In just two days, one city and three counties were robbed by Dadi. Does this mean that Dadi tribe intends to tear up the peace agreement with Daxi and want to start a war?

When Zhao Jin frowned, he suddenly rushed into the hall, "Princess Luohe is in Yangcheng."

The memorial in Zhao Jin's hand immediately fell to the ground.
