    After watching Yan Huailang leave, Yue Jiao returned to his official residence, changed his clothes, washed up, took out a volume of books and got on the bed, leaning on the bedside to read.

    As always, it seems to be no different than the past three months or so.

    There are many people in Hongyun Valley who are illiterate, and naturally there are not many books to read. Therefore, she relied entirely on oral instruction from her grandfather when she was a child.

    After her grandfather passed away, her parents began to travel around the world. Because they were afraid that she would be bored in the Mulian courtyard all day long, they often brought books back to her from outside the valley.  However, her parents were both white men and did not understand that "study is like building a house and laying the foundation, step by step." Most of the books they brought back to her were notebooks to pass the time.

    "To be honest, she has read very few books seriously.

    Years ago, for the official examination, she started from scratch under the guidance of Yan Huailang.  Although she worked diligently, after joining the Supervision Department, she became more and more aware of the fact that she was not as good as others in terms of academic foundation, so she did not dare to slack off. After returning to the official residence every day, she always had to study until midnight.  Go to sleep.

    She has a simple temperament. She is a person who thinks about what to do and then does it without any distractions. In addition, she also has a little bit of energy to "know shame and then be brave". Whenever she picks up a book, she can quickly concentrate on it.

    But tonight, she kept falling into a trance for some unknown reason.

    She knew every word in the book in her hand, and she could understand every sentence those words were connected to.

    But she still can't get into her heart.

    Her eyes were fixed on the book, but all kinds of messy pictures appeared in her mind, without any structure or control.

    Among those messy pictures, what appears most often is Yan Huailang's hand.

    The fingers are long and slender, with clear joints. The palms have thin calluses left by weapons, and are much larger than her hands.

    Those beautiful hands once firmly caught her when she was kicked off the stage at Quanlin Villa.

    ¡­Would he think she was heavy at that time?  !

    I also helped her wash her face and fill her with a hot pot It was really an embarrassing scene.

    He can also write beautiful handwriting It is obviously the same wolf hair, but Ji Xiangzhen's handwriting is not as beautiful.

    He also accepted the small bottle of Qiuli ointment and the small brown sugar that she handed him What a ridiculous gift. Thinking about it now, she didn't understand why she gave him such an inexplicable gift at the time.  Accepted.

    He would also slowly peel out the complete melon seeds and pile them into a hill for her to eat secretly. When she had a tantrum, she would quietly bend her two fingers on the small table and make a "kneel down" gesture.  He looked like a girl, silently begging her to help eat those melon seeds.

    On the night of the Lantern Festival, in a deserted alley near the Lantern Festival, the hands were imaginary around her waist, enclosing her under the big black cloak.

    In the miasma forest of Hongyun Valley, she took advantage of his unclear mind and was sure that he was unable to resist, so she boldly touched his hand and ran away Oh my, the moon must have seen him that night!

    Frequently distracted, she raised her right hand as if by mistake, facing the bright light of the candle, looking at her hand and smiling stupidly until her cheeks turned red.

    At the beginning, she never imagined that one day he would touch her back Although tonight he was afraid that she would run away, so he used his hands as shackles to hold her But

    Yue Jiao bit her lower lip, her eyebrows were arched, and her fair face turned red to the root of her neck.

    A strange awkwardness made her feel uncomfortable all over. She wanted to laugh, but at the same time she wanted to be annoyed.

    This strange awkwardness made her not sure what to do. In the end, she simply pulled the quilt to cover her head, wrapped herself in the quilt and kicked up her legs randomly.

    She doesn¡¯t know what happened to her tonight¡ª¡ª

    I'm afraid I'm going crazy.

    ****

    In the early morning of May 14th, after midnight, Yue Jiao, Yun Zhao and Ji Xiangzhen continued to study various records in Dianshi Pavilion.

    After the three of them received the errand, they did not slack off at all, and they considered the key points together while flipping through the files.

    "Lord Xie Sheng speculates that perhaps there is collusion between the local government and Jianghu forces, and scum such as 'Dongtianmen' and 'Quanlin Villa' are able to continuously collect so many people and sell them as slaves."

    Ji Xiangzhen came into contact with this case before Yue Jiao and Yun Zhao, so he naturally knew more than them.

    Yue Jiao put her index finger under her lips, biting her lower lip unconsciously, thoughtfully, "It means that those who were captured and sold as slaves, their families reported to the government office after they disappeared,  But all the government offices are gone.The war is now kept secret throughout the country, and history books only mention it lightly as "military advice." In fact, if it is more unpleasant, it is almost the same as "rebellion."

    " After that battle, Prince Ping Li Chongheng, who strongly advocated the 'New Learning', was captured alive by Jiang Yao, the then commander of the left army of the Tuanshan Army. He has been imprisoned in the sky prison ever since. At that time, all his soldiers were disarmed on the spot.  "Seeing that Yue Jiao and Ji Xiangzhen had no idea about this incident forty years ago, Yun Zhao started talking.

    "Another supporter of the new learning, King Ning Li Chongxuan heard the news of Li Chongheng's defeat in Yuanzhou, and led his troops to flee north on New Year's Eve. Princess Huachang, caring about her brother and sister, blocked Tuanshan Army Wei Zhao and his brother-in-law.  The two generals Ye Shenghuai pursued him, but some of Li Chongxuan's former relatives in the capital who did not have time to escape were also prosecuted after the first year of Tongxi."

    In the first year of Tongxi, Emperor Tongxi declared the abolition of the "New Learning" with all his strength, and ordered that anyone who promoted the "New Learning" again would be punished with treason.

    "The 'New Learning' has been raging for hundreds of years in Jin Dynasty. Naturally, it is not so easy to eradicate the roots. Even after Li Chongheng was imprisoned and Li Chongxuan escaped, there are still people who secretly promote the 'New Learning' with the intention of reviving it."

    This part of the past was something Yue Jiao didn't know about before, and now it sounds quite shocking. However, she is a stick-minded person when it comes to business matters. After the shock, she remained coherent: "Hey, I'm not talking about the 'Dongtianmen' slave trade case."  Is this past related to who and where they came from? "

    Yunzhao nodded, with a serious expression: "I guess those people are the exiled prisoners in the 'Xinxue' case, or the family members of the exiled prisoners."

    During the Tongxi Dynasty, "Xinxue" criminals were regarded as treasonous criminals and were beheaded or exiled depending on the seriousness of the case.  And such people, or their family members, are feared to be avoided by clans, relatives and friends.

    So it makes sense that after these people disappeared, no one went to the government office to report the case.

    ****

    Before noon, the three of them went to the Provincial Government Hall to report these speculations to Xie Sheng, who agreed with this idea.

    After the origin of those "slaves" was clear, what Yunzhao, Yue Jiao and Ji Xiangzhen had to do was to go to the exile place as Jianghu people to verify whether this speculation was true and the local government's response to the slave trade.  Are you aware of the matter and whether there is collusion between the government and Jianghu forces in the slave trade?

    After this back and forth, it was time for lunch.

    The whole day was spent talking about the "Dongtianmen", and Yue Jiao had no time to think about anything else. Now that she was finally free, many messy pictures appeared in her mind.

    People, you just can¡¯t be idle.

    When the three of them went to the dining hall together, Yue Jiao turned to Yun Zhao and Ji Xiangzhen and said, "Hey, you two try to grab my hand while I'm not paying attention."

    What kind of strange request is this?

    Yunzhao and Ji Xiangzhen looked at each other blankly.

    "How can I take advantage of you when you're not paying attention?" Ji Xiangzhen scratched the back of his head, feeling very embarrassed.

    Yue Jiao thought for a while, "In this way, I will walk in front of you and not see you two. You can come and grab my hand whenever you want. I want to see if I can avoid it."

    She couldn¡¯t figure out why she didn¡¯t escape when Yan Huailang suddenly grabbed her hand last night.  Was it because she had been too leisurely these past few months that her physical skills deteriorated?

    After explaining to his two companions, Yue Jiao walked ahead of them.

    "What kind of monster is she trying to do?" Yun Zhao chuckled, staring at Yue Jiao's back, ready to move.

    Ji Xiangzhen touched Yunzhao with his elbow, the two exchanged glances, and suddenly attacked at the same time.

    Unsurprisingly, Yue Jiao turned around and walked out by about ten feet. Yun Zhao was so shocked that even Yun Zhao laughed and shouted, "You monster, I won't play with you anymore."

    Yue Jiao turned around and faced the two of them apologetically. While walking backwards towards the dining hall, he said, "I still don't seem to be used to others suddenly approaching"

    But why could Yan Huailang catch her every time?  This is so strange!

    She secretly decided in her heart that if she saw Yan Huailang later, she would try again.

    However, she didn¡¯t know that poor Yan Huailang was looking indifferently in the palace at this moment

    Watching His Majesty the Emperor become furious.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
