After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 166: Sin, one level is stronger than another

As soon as the officers and soldiers moved, all the secret guards of Yuanzi appeared beside Hui Chengyuan.

Ling Yun and the others were also standing among them.

In an instant, the two sides drew their swords.

Yuan Er even threw several men in black in front of him. "I don't know if County Magistrate Mu is familiar with these people. They just wanted to assassinate my master, but their strength was not very good. I took care of them all by myself."

When Mu Qiang saw so many secret guards and those few people who were dead, his face tightened and he thought to himself: It's over, I'm afraid I can't afford to offend this guy.

I originally thought that they had only one or two secret guards at most, so I asked the county magistrate to arrange people to assassinate them, but I didn't expect this result.

This person is definitely not a merchant. Which merchant would have so many secret guards? This person is either a royal family member or a high-ranking official.

"Who are you, Excellency? What is your purpose in coming to our Huaicheng?"

Hui Chengyuan glared at him, "You don't deserve to know."

"But if you dare to do it again, I will kill you no matter who you are."

Ling Feng came back and walked past them, walked to Hui Chengyuan and whispered, "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince of Yun Kingdom lives in this inn."

"Oh." Hui Chengyuan looked at Mu Qiang.

"If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

Mu Qiang gritted his teeth and waved his hand to dismiss the people. "I hope that the theft in my warehouse has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will not let you go."

Hui Chengyuan glanced at him with a half-smile, and mocked him again: "What can a small county magistrate have that is worth stealing? Tell me about it."

Mu Qiang snorted coldly, turned away and was about to leave.

This made him even more suspicious of them. After all, with so many secret guards, it was not impossible for them to steal things from his warehouse.

Besides them, there is absolutely no one else in Huaicheng.

Hui Chengyuan suddenly added: "Just to remind you, your son is still hanging in Luoxia Mountain."

Mu Qiang paused and walked away even faster.

Yun Mo stood by the window and saw the situation below clearly.

I became more suspicious of the man's identity.

Hui Chengyuan returned to the wing room and saw Yuan Man reading a book. "What are you reading?"

Yuan Man handed him the booklet and said, "This is the account book of the tribute that Mu Qiang paid to the Second Prince. It's quite a lot."

"He embezzled so much money himself, and then paid so much tribute. This money should not have been embezzled entirely from the people of Huaicheng."

Hui Chengyuan flipped through it and shook his head, "Probably not. Huaicheng is not a wealthy town."

"What's this other thing?"

"I haven't had time to read them yet. I got them all from Mu Qiang." Yuan Man said as he picked up a booklet and started reading.

"I see. They also rob passing caravans. No wonder they are so rich."

"This place is not far from Nanfang City, and there are many caravans moving around. I have to say this is a very clever idea."

Hui Chengyuan leaned over to take a look, and frowned as he watched, "Most of the people they robbed were merchant caravans from other countries."

"This, this, and this are all caravans from An State. The others should be caravans from Song State."

Yuan Man glared and said, "How smart! Even if a foreign merchant caravan is robbed, they can't do anything to them. Even if they report it to the authorities, it's fine. They are all one of us."

"They can't report it to the higher-ups, and they make a lot of money."

"I don't know who came up with this idea, it's really mean."

Hui Chengyuan picked up the others and started reading, "There are also letters between Mu Qiang and the Second Prince. He actually kept them all."

"The Second Prince stressed that he should burn them after reading them, but he kept them all. It seems he wanted to be on guard."

Yuan Man also took a booklet and started reading it. The more he read, the wider his eyes widened. "It turns out that there are no beggars in Huaicheng because he sold all the beggars to the mines to work as laborers."

"And the children were sold to various places as servants or to brothels. Damn it, Mu Qiang."

He put down the book in his hand and picked up a piece of paper. "This Mu Qiang is really brave. He was not the original county magistrate of Huaicheng. He killed the original county magistrate and stole his official seal to take office."

"One is called Mu Hong and the other is called Mu Qiang, how come no one noticed?"

Because the paper in her hand was the appointment document of a man named Mu Hong.

Yuan Man shook his head and handed the paper to Hui Chengyuan, "His crimes are one level higher than the other. His head is not even worthy of being chopped off."

"However, since he took office by stealing someone else's official seal, how could it be rumored that he bought his position?"

Hui Chengyuan was also surprised when he saw it, "Maybe the Second Prince knew about it, so Mu Qiang became his man."

"It was he who helped Mu Qiang conceal everything. Otherwise, no matter how useless the officials of Yun Country were, they would not be able to discover this problem."

"As for why it was said that he bought the position, it was probably because he didn't want to use Mu Hong's name and wanted to use his own name."

Yuan Man patted the things on the table and said, "Not only can these convict Mu Qiang, but the Second Prince will not be able to escape either."

Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "Not necessarily. As long as Yun Cheng doesn't rebel, Emperor Yun won't do anything to him. At most he'll be punished or put in solitary confinement."

Yuanman curled his lips.

Hui Chengyuan smiled, "After all, he is his son. In the eyes of Emperor Yun, as long as the other party does not touch his reverse scale, he will not let this son get into trouble."

Yuan Man naturally knew that this was the case with all emperors in history. It was said that if a prince broke the law, he would be punished the same as a commoner, but how many people could actually do that?

"We must teach Yuanbao well and can't let him grow in the wrong direction." Yuanman said seriously.

Hui Chengyuan naturally understood what she meant, and stroked her face and said, "No, I won't let Yuanbao become like that. Yuanbao is very smart and won't become like that."

"We don't want many children, just one boy and one girl."

Yuan Man bit his finger and said vaguely: "Humph, my son, of course he can't go astray, but he still needs to be punished if he makes a mistake, otherwise he will be unscrupulous and easily go astray."

Hui Chengyuan nodded and agreed, "Okay, you will be the strict mother and I will be the kind father."

"Why should I be a strict mother?" Yuan Man glared at him.

Hui Chengyuan smiled and said, "There are only loving mothers who often spoil their children, but there are no loving fathers who often spoil their children. I think this makes sense."

"No way. You are the strict father and I am the kind mother. There is no room for negotiation." Yuan Man ignored him and collected the evidence on the table.

Hui Chengyuan looked at her and said with a smile, "Okay, whatever you say." He had only said that as a joke, and he didn't want her to be the bad guy.

"Give me all these. Ling Feng said that the Sixth Prince is in this inn. I'm going to meet him."

Yuan Man thought about it and only gave him half of it, "Leave these, just in case."

Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Let's leave the second prince alone for now and talk about it after we understand his attitude."

After washing up, Hui Chengyuan wanted to send Yuanbao to Yuanqi, but Yuanbao was not happy and clung to Yuanman, "Bad daddy, I want mom."

Yuan Man glanced at him, hugged Yuan Bao and lay down, "Okay, Mommy will take Yuan Bao to sleep, don't spoil Daddy."

Hui Chengyuan touched his nose and lay down beside the mother and daughter.
