Chapter 271 The Heart of Rebellion

Jiang Chengjia held her breath. Qianshan stood in front of her, always alert.

A slight sound of footsteps came from beside the stone pillar.

"Mr. Duan, there is really nothing wrong with this plan?" A woman's beautiful voice rang out.

Jiang Chengjia was surprised.

Immediately afterwards, she heard Mr. Duan say, "Don't worry, your princess. The two lords decided to protect the princess for perfection."

Your Highness, Princess?

Jiang Chengjia's heart trembled violently. Could it be that the woman who appeared in the dark room at this moment was Princess Feiyu who was hijacked?

"Then thank you Mr. Duan for your planning!" The woman's voice of gratitude sounded.

Mr. Duan hurriedly said, "Princess must not worship me. If I had encountered a horse thief on the frontier two years ago, the princess had never helped me... I am afraid Duan would not have the chance to return home to reunite with her mother today. The plan of the princess and King Zhan Po was exactly the same as the two lords... Duan just used a little trick... to help the princess with a helping hand to repay the kindness of that year."

The woman laughed and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Duan to remember this clearly."

The man was silent for a while and said, "How could he not remember clearly? If it weren't for the Emperor of the Great Wei, I wouldn't have been separated from my wife and children... Now with such a great opportunity, he will naturally feel like he is often separated from his wife and children."

"Princess, please follow the people arranged by Caomin to leave here soon. If it is one step later, Song Zong should find out that this is inappropriate." Then, Mr. Duan urged the woman to leave.

A short and rapid sound of footsteps seemed to leave the other door, after a light creaking sound of closing the door.

The entire dark room fell into a dead silence.

Jiang Chengjia poked out his eyes and looked around the dim inner room. After confirming that there was no one, he dared to pull Qianshan and carefully lean forward.

Qianshan said with some confusion: "Girl... Why don't the guards here patrol this dark room? The entrance to the bright dark room is above the stone steps. And we found this place from the green wall... They should have followed the stone steps?"

Jiang Chengjia found a shelter and carefully observed the dark room. Seeing that there were other stone steps on both sides of the right, connecting several tightly closed wooden doors, he inferred: "Maybe... the house not only has the path in the blue brick wall leading here, but also other secret passages... The wooden board on the left side of the blue brick wall corridor may be connected to a certain entrance. No matter which tunnel someone breaks in, the board hanging up is a warning."

Qianshan sighed, "There is such a clever mechanism in the mortal world?"

Jiang Chengjia said: "There are people outside the sky, and there are immortals outside the immortals. How can you conclude that mortals must be more silly than gods? Don't forget that the so-called gods in this world have evolved from ordinary spiritual objects."

Qianshan felt it was reasonable, so she nodded and said, "What the girl is saying."

"Be careful, you can't say it's right... There are people staring at this place in secret. We didn't understand the situation clearly... and we don't know where there is ambush here. Maybe every move has been discovered by them."

Jiang Chengjia reminded Qianshan not to take it lightly and groped towards the huge stone chamber from the stone steps. The hanging candlelight on the walls had gradually weakened. In fact, they could only illuminate the stone walls on both sides of the dark room, but they could not include everything in the entire dark room. This made Jiang Chengjia worry whether someone was hiding in the dark like them and observing everything in the dark room.

In the dim light, they gradually saw the furnishings in the dark room.

At the front, there seemed to be a row of cabinet shelves neatly arranged, with many case files stacked on them.

Jiang Chengjia groped over, picked up the bamboo book closest to him, and looked at it with the glimmer reflected by the wall.

This look shocked her.

The files recorded the details of officials of all sizes and sizes in the inner palace... and they were all shameful and dirty things.

Seeing Jiang Chengjia's expression changed drastically, Qianshan said in a strange heart: "What's wrong with the girl? Her face suddenly became so bad?"

Jiang Chengjia's face was cold and said, "Qianshan... Maybe...we are all wrong."

Qianshan was stunned and said, "What does the girl mean?"

Jiang Chengjia said slowly: "Maybe...there are gentry behind this matter intervening not only to make huge profits from it...and also to use these abducted women and children... to control the Great Wei court."

Qianshan said in surprise: "What you mean is... the reason why Song Zong joined forces with the gentry behind the back of the Huai King... was to train those abducted people... into spies, and then lurked in the mansions of all officials of all sizes and big zodiac signs..."

"I'm afraid yes..." Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "They forced the good women to do this, but they just grabbed their parents in their hands, so that these girls had no way out and could only let their orders. Look... in this book, all the scandals recorded by officials of all sizes in Yangzhou."

She handed the volume in her hand to Qianshan, then reached out to pick up the other volumes and checked them one by one.

She read several volumes of the volumes on the entire cabinet shelf, recording all the scandals of these places and court officials.

Therefore, she finally determined her thoughts.

Jiang Chengjia's mood at this moment was like a terrifying wave, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. After thinking about the conversation between Princess Feiyu and Mr. Duan just now, she always felt a sense of vague uneasiness.

"Girl... When we go out from here, we must quickly compile the book and go to the capital to inform the young master." Qianshan followed her and checked the files one by one. The shock at the moment was no less than Jiang Chengjia.

"I need to tell my brother to prepare early. I'm afraid... Fu Bo and Ma Yue have already had no idea. They ordered Song Zong to kidnap Princess Feiyu who came to the Great Wei marriage... I'm afraid that the motive is impure, and I want to cause disputes between the two countries."

"You mean... Fu Bo and Ma Yue are going to rebel?" Qian Shan was even more shocked.

"It's very possible." Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "I guess the woman who was talking to Mr. Duan just now was Princess Feiyu who was robbed in the marriage delegation. Princess Feiyu was robbed on the way to robbery, and the person who was robbed was an official of the Great Wei... This was enough to make the Kingdom of Zhan Po attack the Great Wei with this reason... Princess Zhan Po disappeared on the border of the Great Wei, which was enough to be said by King Zhan Po that the Great Wei was not willing to cultivate the favor of Qin and Jin in the two countries, and deliberately robbed Princess Feiyu to challenge the troubles of the two countries."

"It's just... when Song Zong kidnapped... it shouldn't be so stupid that he didn't hide it at all, right?" Qian Shan questioned, "How could they determine that the person who kidnapped must be an official of the Wei Dynasty?"

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Duan said just now?" Jiang Chengjia asked back, "This is clearly everything he planned with Princess Feiyu and King Zhan Po... Since it was planned... Then Song Zong is the sucker of the matter. Princess Feiyu and King Zhan Po must have prepared evidence to let him take the blame."

"Once the war begins... Fu Bo and Ma Yue seize the handles of the great clans and official clans of various aristocratic families and completely manipulate the power of the Wei Dynasty... By then, even Ning Zheng is afraid that he will not be able to resist the power of these two people... Then the world will be in chaos. Besides... since they dare to hijack Princess Feiyu at this time... Maybe they have planned everything..."

Jiang Chengjia spoke intermittently, his face becoming more and more serious.

Qianshan said fearfully, "If so...what should we do?"

Jiang Chengjia said with a firm determination: "I am afraid that now... the arrow is ready to go... Our strength alone is afraid that we can only fight with them to the death. Now the plan can only make Ning Zheng realize the ill-telling of these two people. Although Ning Zheng is greedy for power, he is still a member of the Ning royal family... and he will never be able to watch the imperial power fall into the hands of other geniuses. If we can find evidence and persuade Ning Zheng to join forces with the Emperor of Wei... it will make Fu and Ma give up..."

Qianshan looked at the densely packed files in the dark room and said worriedly: "But these books... we two cannot take them away at all, and... even if we take them away, the content of the books alone would probably not convince the Emperor of Wei and King Huai. The Fu and Ma family, who had always been invisible, actually took the court hostage."

Jiang Chengjia pondered for a moment and said, "...I'm afraid so many years... Fu Bo and Ma Yue not only got the secret of the scandals from the Song Zong's dark village transactions that could control the major official families, but also took a lot of money from it. Since they had already developed the intention of rebellion, they would definitely recruit soldiers to raise their troops to fight against the army of the Wei people one day in the future. In this world, the supreme imperial throne will always be the target of chasing and fighting for the world, even if the blood flows into a river.

However, they will destroy the evidence of the crime of treason, but cannot destroy the evidence of recruiting soldiers and horses. All soldiers and horses are always vigilant for the Emperor of Wei. If there were no families of gentry to clear their relationships, they would be afraid that they would not be able to accumulate military power with their strong financial resources. In addition to the royal family, any gentry used the business road to buy soldiers and horses, there were documentary records. However, only those who bought soldiers and horses could be mobilized by documents. In order to check and balance with the Fu family, Ma family, when they used their own names to buy soldiers and horses... they would also leave documentary records. Once the matter was revealed, they could still rely on documents to escape the crime of gangsters' crimes. Therefore, both the gentry and Mr. Duan were afraid that there would be an account book that clearly recorded the details of the gentry buying soldiers and horses in recent years. As long as we can find such an account book, we can solve the current difficulties."

Qianshan frowned and said, "Even if the girl said that...but such an important account book... Mr. Duan must have kept it in person, how could we get it?"

Jiang Chengjia knew this, but after pondering for a moment, he could only sigh: "Even if it is rare... we need to fight."

She hid behind the cabinet shelf, looked around the dark room again, and then pulled Qianshan toward the wooden doors made against the stone wall on the right.
