323. Breaking the Killing Bureau: Joining Forces【13】
"In imperial studies, there are assessments every quarter. Not only the homework of the princes and princesses is tested, but also the attendants beside the princes and princesses are strictly checked. Those who cannot pass the test will be eliminated." Xuanyuan Zhirong explained patiently, "Four years
Before, it was a foregone conclusion that Qiu Hengbo was blind. His father had politely told the Qiu family that he wanted to replace Jinyang with someone. But in the end, Qiu Hengbo submitted his resignation and his father changed his mind. He still let her accompany Jinyang.
, and because of this, she was even more marginalized in the Imperial Academy." He raised the dart in front of his eyes, pointed it at the light source, and focused his deep phoenix eyes on the top, watching it emit seven colors as it faced the light.
The halo, "again
When she entered the Imperial Academy, during the first-term assessment, someone deceived her into blindness and spilled an inkstone on her drawing paper. They originally wanted to make her look embarrassed, but they didn't want to make her suffer, and it also made Qiu Fang's reputation as a beauty.
.”
"What did she draw?" Mu Jieyu had an intuition that it was related to the dart, so he asked out loud.
"The Picture of Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Elephants." Xuanyuan Zhirong smiled faintly, "The Picture of Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Symbols is regarded as a treasure by the Qintian Prison. It contains the evolution of the stars. The original painting is still hanging in the Qintian Prison."
"What is the necessary connection between the two?" Mu Jieyu frowned.
"When you see the Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Symbols diagram, you will understand that this dart must have been made by Qiu Hengbo." Although Xuanyuan Zhirong did not explain why, the answer he gave was extremely certain.
"So, the woman in white who fought with me that day in the woods outside Baihua Town must be Qiu Hengbo." Mu Jieyu said as he glanced at Xuanyuan Zhirong coldly, "Why didn't His Highness Prince Rong recognize this woman at that time?
Old acquaintance?"
Xuanyuan Zhirong touched the bridge of his straight nose and said with a smile: "Wherever there is Min'er, my heart can no longer control itself. It is tied up by Min'er's every move. How can I have the mind to pay attention to people who don't matter?
?”
"Xuanyuan Zhirong, don't tell me whether you have these things or not. I will write down this account with you for now. When this matter is over, we will settle the matter slowly!" Mu Jieyu gave Xuanyuan Zhirong a cold face.
Seeing Xuanyuan Zhirong's evil smile at this moment, Mu Jieyu's stomach was filled with anger. Only now did she know that she was plotted inexplicably because of the romantic debt owed by this damn man. She did nothing, just
You must fight for this man who attracts bees and butterflies!
The anger in Mu Jieyu's beautiful eyes almost ignited into reality. It was so strong that Xuanyuan Zhirong could not ignore it, so he could only change the topic: "There are already some clues about the prisoners' chiseling of the mountain."
Although he knew that Xuanyuan Zhirong was diverting his attention, Mu Jieyu still suppressed his anger when talking about this matter, and asked with a straight face: "How?"
"Eight miles away from Chongyang Mansion, there is an unnamed barren mountain that is often infested with wild beasts. Those prisoners who claim to be digging into the mountain to clear up wasteland should actually be digging for gold mines." Xuanyuan Zhirong's charming voice turned cold in vain, stroking the mountain.
A cold meteor dart was pressed slightly with two fingers, and the solid dart immediately turned into powder and scattered with the wind, leaving no trace.
"Gold mine!" Mu Jieyu was surprised.
Immediately, my mind was spinning, and I was shocked by what the Qiu family was planning!
Since the previous dynasty, the imperial court has had extremely strict control over mining. Even iron ore and copper mines are not allowed to be mined privately, let alone gold that can be used as currency! Once discovered, it must be reported to the imperial court. It is naturally a great achievement, but
If it is mined privately, it will be a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes!
