Chapter 90 Trap
Mother held Xiao Jianghou's hand and wrote down the four characters "Guotai Min'an" stroke by stroke.

Xiao Jiangwan pointed to the Chinese characters on it and read them one by one.

"Guo, Thailand, Min, An."

She bit her finger, tilted her fluffy head, and asked in a childish voice with doubts in her round eyes.

"Mother, what is Guotai Minan?"

The mother touched Xiao Jiangyu's head, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and explained gently.

"Probably the people are happy with their food, beautiful in their clothes, comfortable in their customs, happy in their careers, and never communicate with each other until old age and death."

Jiang Yu was still very young, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and she couldn't understand why there was sadness and yearning hidden in her mother's eyes.

Beautiful things always make people nostalgic, and the past things are like clouds and smoke, blown away by the wind.

Today's Bei country is as prosperous and peaceful as it was when yearning for freedom, but under this prosperous age, there is endless darkness hidden.

Those women and children rescued from the black market, no more, no less, 41 people.

When Jiang Yu brought them out, they were like unconscious wooden figures who only knew to obey orders.

He didn't resist, didn't speak, his expression was dull, his eyes were empty, and he lost the spirit that he should have as a human being.

All of them, big and small, except for that thin yellow face, don't have a piece of intact skin, which is shocking to see.

There are whip marks, branding marks, and even hot stamping of cigarette rods and so on.

Jiang Yu couldn't imagine how much inhuman treatment they had suffered, so that they were indifferent even to Huo.

The fact is also very ironic, because of their numbness, Jiang Yu took them out of the black market without disturbing anyone, and temporarily placed them in a courtyard on the outskirts of the imperial city.

In a prosperous age, where there is sunshine, there will be shadows.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid air to calm down the fluctuations in his heart.

The prisoner came over and knelt on one knee.

"Young master, everything is settled."

Jiang Yu nodded, her eyes flickered, she temporarily placed those people in the courtyard on the outskirts of the imperial city, and the mansions where they were located were all provided by Xiao Heng.

It is a problem for those people to go out.

I don't know their names, identities, or their addresses. No matter what they ask, they just shrink in the corner and don't answer.

It is also an expedient measure for Jiang Yu to place them there. She cannot keep those people in the mansion forever. The crimes they have suffered must be exposed, and none of the perpetrators can escape!
Now she is just a Marquis of Yibei who has no real power, she cannot directly intervene in this matter, so there must be a suitable person to take over this matter.

It would be best if the incident became a big one, and the whole city would know about it, the people would be angry everywhere, and finally reach the ears of the emperor.

Jiang Yu frowned, tapped her finger on the desk lightly, she didn't know what she thought of, she paused slightly, and a trace of darkness flickered in her eyes.

She beckoned, leaned over and said something in the prisoner's ear, and the prisoner saluted respectfully and left in a hurry.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of resignation.

"Enter."

The resignation said respectfully.

"My lord, an invitation has been sent from Prince Qing's mansion."

Prince Qing's Mansion?
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, puzzled across his face.

Logically speaking, this time should be the busiest time in the palace, and Baili Yue must have brought Princess Yi'an back to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty.

Therefore, it is impossible to let this matter go.

No matter how unfavorable Princess Yi'an was, she was raised at the queen's knees. To be taken away from the palace was to slap the emperor and Bei Guo in the face.

Besides, the banquet of the four countries is coming soon, and the envoys of various countries can't laugh at anything they say, so no matter what, this matter cannot end well.

His Majesty must send someone to investigate the black market, but the forces in the black market are intricate, and the forces in the black market are spread across the six countries, so it is difficult to uproot them.

However, it is still possible to take this opportunity to clear up the participating families in the imperial city.

This is a good opportunity to claim credit. If Bei Siyang is not busy trying to show his presence in front of His Majesty, why come to her?
Jiang Yu's eyelashes fluttered, and holding the banquet card in his hand, he looked at the incense burner on the desk and fell into some deep thought.

The time written on the banquet post was tomorrow afternoon, see you at Yipinlou, and said that he was apologizing for what happened on the flower boat.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and did not speak for a long time. Qing Wanggui was the second prince of the Bei Kingdom, so she had no reason to refuse to go.

But this banquet is probably a Hongmen banquet.

At this time, there was a noise outside the door.

"My lord, you can't go in, wait for the servants to go in first to report!"

Holding a folding fan in his hand, Xiao Zheng raised the chin of the maid in front of him frivolously, with an arrogant tone.

"Do you know who I am? The Crown Prince of Feng Xiao Kingdom, you are the one who can stop me!"

He flicked his sleeves, and the servant girl fell to the ground due to the powerful internal force, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Yu came out, seeing the scene in front of him, his face turned slightly cold, and a layer of chill formed in his eyes.

There are not many maidservants and guards in the house, they were all bought by the prisoner some time ago, and the deeds of sale are all with her, that is, people equivalent to her, she has no reason to let her own people be inexplicably bullied in her house.

"What is the meaning of Prince Xiao? Why did you hurt the people in my house!"

Jiang Yu lowered his voice coldly, questioning in his voice.

Xiao Zheng didn't care about opening the hem of his clothes, and sat down beside the marble table in the yard. The attendant beside him immediately picked up the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea.

That appearance, as if he is the owner of this mansion.

"Why should Yibeihou be angry? It's just an insignificant maid who speaks rudely to the hall and suffers a little injury. It's because of Yibeihou."

Jiang Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and there was a chill all over his body.

She raised her eyes and looked at him coldly.

"This is Bei Country. Prince Xiao broke into the official mansion of Bei State for no reason and injured the servant girl in the official mansion of Bei State. It was rumored that Prince Xiao didn't take Bei State seriously."

His voice was so cold that no emotion could be heard, but it was such plain words that made Xiao Zheng's face change slightly. He put the teacup on the table and looked up at the boy in front of him seriously.

Jiang Yu had asked someone to take the maid on the ground down to rest.

The servants and maidservants in the courtyard also retreated, and there were only four of them in the huge courtyard.

Seeing the boy's cold face, Xiao Zheng suddenly smiled. He stood up and walked towards Jiang Yu. He raised his right hand to pat the boy's shoulder, but Jiang Yan dodged it and missed.

His face was ugly for a moment, and then returned to normal.

He tidied up his skirt and said unhurriedly.

"Yibeihou's words are serious. I, Fengxiao Kingdom, have always had good relations with Beiguo. Naturally, this crown prince also respects Beiguo. I ask Yibeihou to forgive me if I offend." He made a gesture to Jiang Yu , can be regarded as an apology.

"The prince came here this time, and he also has a doubt and wants to ask for advice."

Xiao Zheng, as the prince of Feng Xiao Kingdom, talked so much, no matter how dissatisfied Jiang Yu was, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and let it go.

Her tone was cold, and there was a layer of indifference between her brows.

"I don't know what advice Prince Xiao has?"
