Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Miao Shuo's expression changed completely.

Ma Dianshi pressed the button, and the entrance opened instantly.

County Magistrate Du's eyes flickered, and he turned to Zhao Yongquan and Registrar Chang, saying, "It's dark and dangerous down there. You two protect His Highness the Crown Prince. I'll go down and take a look with Clerk Ma."

After saying that, he exchanged a glance with Ma Dianshi and went downstairs together.

They didn't look well.

They were just there to go through the motions, never imagining there was a hidden mechanism in Miao Shuo's room.

"Could this Miao Shuo really be hiding something he shouldn't be hiding down there?"

Ma Dianshidao.

County Magistrate Du's eyes flickered slightly. "So what if they really hid it? As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I don't believe that the Crown Prince and Marquis Xuanwu are so clueless as to court death."

If it weren't for the emperor's wrath, they would have killed them all right now.

Right now, it would be best if the Crown Prince and Marquis Xuanwu were to be sensible and not pursue the matter further.

The two men led their men down and soon discovered a secret chamber below.

Both of them had a fierce glint in their eyes. This Miao Shuo was indeed not simple!

Above, Miao Shuo was about to jump down as well, but he was held back.

"You can't go down, you can't go down..." Miao Shuo shouted down.

Miao Shuo anxiously looked repeatedly at the Crown Prince, who blinked as if he hadn't noticed Miao Shuo's urgency, and asked, "Magistrate Miao, why are you in such a hurry? Are there people hiding below?"

Miao Shuo: "..."

Miao Jiaoniang's eyes darted around, and she said, "Princess Anguo is downstairs. Earlier, Princess Anguo came out in the middle of the night and asked me where the outhouse was. I gave her directions and then brought her to my uncle's room to talk."

Crown Prince: "...Oh, Fu'er is down there!"

Miao Shuo: "?"

"That's perfect, I'll go down and take a look too." He said, lifting his clothes as if to jump down.

"Your Highness, no! Absolutely not!"

Chang, the registrar, and Zhao Yongquan quickly stopped the crown prince.

At this moment, Liu Aniu came out and said, "I'll go down; my eyesight is good."

After saying that, he jumped down without waiting for anyone to stop him.

Miao Shuo's face turned ashen. He hoped that the heir of the Marquis of Xuanwu could protect the safety of Princess Anguo. He was certain that if County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ma discovered those account books, they would kill them to silence them.

Princess Anguo must be in danger.

He anxiously glanced at the crown prince repeatedly.

The crown prince, however, showed no sign of alarm.

Meanwhile, County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ma had already pushed open the door to the secret room. Upon entering, they found the room empty, devoid of the evidence they had expected regarding the absence of the capable person. On the contrary…

"Princess Anguo, what are you doing here?"

County Magistrate Du squinted, scrutinizing Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu looked at them in surprise. "Hey, why are you all down here? Where's Jiaoniang? Didn't she say she was going to come and tell me her story with that heartless man?"

"Why do we need to tell stories in a secret room?" Magistrate Du looked at her suspiciously.

Ying Yufu said, "Of course it's fun and exciting! Magistrate Du, Registrar, don't you agree?"

County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ma naturally did not believe it, and their eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Ying Yufu laughed and said, "Look at this dark and quiet secret room, it's a good place to listen to stories, and of course, it's also a good place to kill someone."

She glanced behind them and saw Liu Aniu walk in.

Clerk Ma sneered and said, "Princess Anguo is not sleeping in her room late at night, but instead has broken into Magistrate Miao's private room. Princess Anguo, for the safety of the county government, we must search your person. We hope you will not take offense!"

As he spoke, he beckoned a group of yamen runners to surround Ying Yufu.

Upon seeing this, Liu Aniu immediately rushed over.

"Seize him, don't let him interfere with our official duties," said Magistrate Du.

Several more people rushed towards Liu Aniu.

"That's really interesting."

Ying Yufu chuckled, and as someone reached out to grab her, she grabbed the person's wrist. With a snap, the person's arm broke.

"You dare to lay a hand on this county magistrate? It seems you're plotting a rebellion!" Ying Yufu said, throwing out one constable with each hand. In just a few moves, she had brought those men down.

Liu Aniu was also incredibly strong and agile, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked out the constables who were rushing at him.

The expressions on the faces of County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ma changed instantly.

They hadn't expected that Princess Anguo would be so powerful.

Ying Yufu and Liu Aniu exchanged a glance, and the two of them, one on each side, subdued County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ma.

At the same time, a grand drama was unfolding above the secret room.

Suddenly, a constable drew his knife and lunged at the crown prince. Seeing this, Zhao Yongquan shouted, "Your Highness, I'm here to save you!"

As he spoke, he stepped in front of the crown prince.

As it turned out, someone was more loyal than him. Miao Shuo broke free from the restraint and also protected the Crown Prince. As a result, he accidentally stood in front of Zhao Yongquan, and the yamen runner couldn't stop his knife and stabbed him.

Zhao Yongquan: Someone stole my credit!

Ying Yufu and Liu Aniu brought up County Magistrate Du and County Clerk Ma, and happened to witness this scene.

"uncle!"

Miao Jiaoniang's expression changed, and she lunged at Magistrate Miao.

Magistrate Miao waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright, I'm fine."

As he spoke, he took out a bronze mirror from his pocket.

"Your Highness, you've been frightened!" Miao Shuo said, turning around.

The Crown Prince was not frightened. With Wushuang and Marquis Xuanwu by his side, what was there to frighten him about?

Moreover, when the constable stabbed him, he winked at Zhao Yongquan, and Zhao Yongquan saw it.

The crown prince then asked the constable, "Why did you exchange glances with him when you were about to stab me? Did you two plan this?"

The constable: "..."

The yamen runners stared dumbfounded at the crown prince.

How is he supposed to answer that?

Zhao Yongquan's expression changed. "Your Highness, you've misunderstood!"

The crown prince smiled faintly, with an expression that seemed to see through everything, "Your methods are... too clumsy."

After saying that, he looked in Ying Yufu's direction, "Fu'er, are you alright?"

Ying Yufu shook her head: "It's nothing."

The crown prince turned to look at Zhao Yongquan: "See, we planned this in advance."

After saying that, he ignored Zhao Yongquan's reaction and asked Ying Yufu, "Was it fun down there?"

Ying Yufu: "It's not fun anymore. We've put away all the fun stuff."

The prince understood immediately.

Miao Shuo didn't understand. He asked, "Princess, what's next...?"

"Don't worry, Magistrate Miao, everything is fine." Ying Yufu gave him a reassuring look.

Miao Shuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess Anguo, Your Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean by this?" County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ye Ma, who were being escorted up, questioned them with grim expressions.

The crown prince glanced at them and said, "You'll soon find out what we mean."

County Magistrate Du and Clerk Ma exchanged a glance, a hint of murderous intent flashing in their eyes. They both turned to Zhao Yongquan. "Mr. Zhao, what are you waiting for?"

A dark glint flashed in Zhao Yongquan's eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, a black signal flare was launched, which he threw outside.

The signal exploded in mid-air, releasing a cloud of black smoke.

"Why is this signal flare black, and it smells bad too?" Ying Yufu said.

The prince nodded, "It smells bad, it stinks."

Zhao Yongquan sneered: "His Highness the Crown Prince is used to a life of luxury, so naturally he can't stand this kind of thing. However, it doesn't matter if it smells bad, as long as it works."

The crown prince turned to look at him, "The key is, I'm afraid it won't work well even if it's used."

Zhao Yongquan's expression froze.

The crown prince, with a sincere and kind expression, said, "You're not still waiting for your people to come, are you? I advise you not to wait anymore."

Last night I mobilized troops from the capital, and now the county government office is probably surrounded by my men.

The person you called has probably been arrested too.

Zhao Yongquan's expression finally changed.

The expressions on the faces of County Magistrate Du and the others also changed.

"How could this be!" Zhao Yongquan rushed outside with a grim expression.

Outside, the Imperial Army's Thousand Feather Army surrounded the county government office, and Yu Hai led his men in.

"Your Highness!" Yu Hai clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
