As soon as I left the inn, I was laughed at by people on the road. They all thought it was funny that an iron-eating beast was carrying a baggage.

But Pangpang didn't care. He felt that he could work now. He was very proud and walked with great energy.

Fang Zhiyuan and others praised him while suppressing their laughter, and they were even more happy.

The inn they stayed in was on the outskirts of the county, that is, the outer city, and now they were heading to the inner city.

Unlike the inner city of Beijing where entry is not allowed, the inner city here is accessible, but the expenses in the inner city will be higher, such as accommodation and meals, which are much more expensive than in the outer city.

As soon as they entered the inner city, Fang Zhiyuan and the others also saw the teahouses that Jiayin had detected with his spiritual sense before.

They were very curious at first. When they were tired from walking, they went in to rest and asked for a pot of tea.

As a result, there were four or five people surrounding each table, not chatting. From time to time, there were sounds of objects being thrown on the table.

Fang Zhiqiang curiously went to the nearest table and took a look, and when he came back he whispered: "They are actually gambling!"

Although the game is not big, just a few copper coins, it is indeed gambling.

When they came out, the adults at home told them that the last thing they should not do is gambling.

So as soon as they heard this, they quickly drank the tea on the table, paid the bill and left.

The waiter watched them all the way with strange eyes, probably thinking it was strange that they actually came in to drink tea and then left.

They didn't discuss it out loud until they were walking on the road. After all, in a teahouse, they were not stupid enough to directly say that gambling was bad or something like that. Wouldn't that be annoying? They might get beaten by then.

.

They were discussing as they walked.

Fang Zhiqiang: "Why is the atmosphere here so open? Gambling is blatantly allowed in teahouses, and everyone seems to be used to it."

Fang Zhiwu: "There are so many teahouses on this street, aren't they all the same?"

Several people stood outside a teahouse and listened attentively. Sure enough, the teahouse was talking about how much the other party should give if they won, and there was also the sound of cards being thrown on the table.

It seems they are all true.

Fang Zhiwen frowned and said: "Then we can't stay here for long. If the entire county is full of gamblers, then the public order in this city can be imagined. If the gamblers get anxious about losing, everything will be in trouble.

If you can do it, it's not a good thing for us to wander around here.

Although we all have some skills, after all, we can't beat four hands with two fists, and we should be more careful when staying in inns in the future, but if we don't follow other people's advice, if we are given some kind of sweat medicine, we will sleep to death and be betrayed by others.

I don’t even know.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, that's what happened.

Because they were worried, they were not in the mood to go shopping afterwards, so they casually ordered some local specialty snacks from the stalls outside.

The food was really spicy, but they still couldn't get used to it. The food was not even tasty, and they had no interest in going shopping.

However, they walked around slowly and heard some news through the words of some people who were enjoying the cool weather on the roadside in front of their houses.

For example, the King of Dongshan was very fond of one of his concubines, and the concubine's family members also followed the chickens and dogs to heaven. The King of Dongshan assigned them to several official positions and also gave them several profitable shops.

Why didn't Princess Dongshan react?

Hi, didn't Princess Dongshan marry from another country? She doesn't have much confidence without her natal family to rely on.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away from her parents' home. Even if she knew what was going on here, she probably wouldn't be able to get there. What's more, I heard that Princess Dongshan's family's home seems to have lost its glory because a few months ago, Starlight Kingdom changed its owner.

Already.

As the former head of the country, the Yue family, although they had a certain degree of power before, must have been suppressed. After all, everyone knows that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers.

To put it another way, why did things in a small country spread to Dongshan County?

Isn't that because Princess Dongshan was married from that country, so people from there often come here to do business, and they will bring such news.

So the people in Dongshan County still know something about it.

In other words, although Princess Dongshan was not favored much before, she was still respected. It was not until more than two months ago that the Xingmang Kingdom changed hands and Princess Dongshan completely lost her power.

This concubine's family was also in a state of complete turmoil. Official positions were assigned to everyone in the family, and a shop was also given as a gift.

The good news is a bit hazy. It doesn’t look like the Buddhist temple was built just a few months ago. It should have been built a long time ago. You said that the princess has fallen out of favor, but the princess looks rosy and doesn’t look like she was treated harshly.

Look.

Then it should be the same as what she thought before, these are just news released by King Dongshan to confuse others.

But why? Why would he release such false news and create such a false impression? Who does he want to confuse?

What she had thought before was to confuse the court and not let the court know that he had so many rare treasures, fearing that the court would suspect him of having ulterior motives.

But now that she heard it, she felt that it was not the case. It was possible that King Dongshan really had different intentions.

He acted like he was pampering his concubines and destroying his wives, and was obsessed with sex. To lower the court's vigilance, he must be planning something.

Is it really the same as how he deceived the former queen before, that the King of Dongshan is connected with the new leader of the Xingmang Kingdom? Is it possible that they want to cooperate inside and outside to harm the Great Yan Kingdom?

If that's the case, good news must be taken care of. After all, once there is a war, life will be devastated.

And if she prevented the war, she would have saved countless soldiers and the lives of the people, which would be considered a great merit. Her golden merit would definitely increase significantly...

Thinking of this, Jiayin used his spiritual consciousness to explore into the Dongshan Palace again, this time not even sparing the concubine's yard.

I checked directly in the concubine's house and the underground in the yard, including places like the rockery. After all, Nanping County had experience before, and the entrance to the secret passage could be hidden in the rockery.

It's a pity that this time I didn't find the entrance to the darkroom inside the rockery, and I didn't find anything in the concubine's yard.

Also, this courtyard looks newly built at first glance, and the darkroom cannot be built in a day or two.

So she checked the study room where Dongshan Wang worked in the front yard again, and read all the official documents on his desk, but found no unusual letters.

Then I didn’t find any hidden compartments on the walls, including underground.

This is strange. No matter what, the palace has been built for several generations, so it cannot be so clean.

Even those rich people's homes would make secret rooms to hide some gold, silver and jewelry. It's a bit strange that there is nothing there.

Thinking about it, Jiayin went to the backyard where the princess lived and checked everything in the bedroom, but found nothing.
