As soon as Wu Guangcai was caught, Fu Feihan started heading towards the capital as he had been preparing for such a long time.

However, this matter couldn't be finished so quickly. Su Zixuan also couldn't stay in the eastern part of the river forever, because Su Qianshan had already written many letters reprimanding her.

Fortunately, she had stopped Su Qian Shan from reporting to her. Otherwise, her father wouldn't be so simple to scold her right now. Instead, he would have to personally come down to Jiang Dong and capture her.

Furthermore, the situation in Jiangnan gradually became more serious, making it impossible for Su Zixuan to stay in Jiangdong and wait for things to develop.

Chu Yixuan also followed behind Su Zixuan while swaying back and forth, as if she was enjoying the scenery of the world.

"Prince Jin has been away from the capital for too long, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?" Su Zixuan couldn't help but ask as he looked at the man behind him.

Chu Yixuan looked at Su Zixuan with a faint smile as he questioned him. "A person like me should be able to rely on my emotions. Only by being carefree would I not arouse suspicion."

Su Zixuan was a little suspicious. If it was her, then only by staying under her nose could she feel at ease.

However, since Prince Jin had already said so, he couldn't get off the ship. Su Zixuan could only follow him.

Su Zixuan got on the boat again, but there was one more King Jin.

Fu Dian, on the other hand, had been staying by Fu Feihan's side as a guard. However, when he heard that Su Zixuan was leaving Jiangdong, he suddenly thought of a hairpin, a hairpin that he had picked up but had forgotten to return.

He had washed the hairpin, which had been covered in blood when he picked it up, and left it at home. Now, in his memory, there seemed to be something different within the hairpin's ice-cold luster.

With anticipation and disappointment, these two feelings simultaneously appeared in Fu Guansan's mind. He thought, people really are complicated.

He used to think that other people were complex and unpredictable, but now he couldn't even figure it out for himself.

Su Zixuan was currently sitting in the cabin. She no longer looked weak like she did when she first got on the boat, but after a few days, she still looked somewhat haggard.

On the other hand, the luck was auspicious. The time they had spent in the Su Clan of Luling County had finally come to an end, and their complexion had returned to normal. Only Su Zixuan seemed to have contracted a serious illness.

The two days she had been on the ship, all she could think about was personal salt. She had been working on it for over three months, and now, even when she slept, her mind was filled with these things.

If nothing went wrong, the Imperial Court would send people to Jiangdong to assist Fu Feihan in his investigation, but it would take them at least half a month to travel from the capital to Jiangdong, then from Wu Guangcai to the salt dealer, the salt farm manager, as well as the Salt Transport Division, and even the county governor, Ci Shi.

There were too many people involved, and they might not even be able to finish all of them before the new year.

It had taken too long, and in this situation, she could finally succeed.

But then she remembered the salt envoy.

Su Zixuan still remembered the events of the past few years, but it was just an ordinary case. The only difference was that it had been committed by members of the Yao family.

There was a tyrannical young master in the Yao family who accidentally pushed a High Scholar down the stairs and died.

If it was an ordinary person, the Yao family would have been much easier to settle. However, that High Scholar had already assumed the position of a county magistrate in a small county city outside the capital.

In this way, he could be considered to have an achievement. The son's parents only had this one child, so they immediately knocked on the drum of the justice courts.

Zheng Qingtai was the Supreme Court official back then. During those years, he had used a simple and unselfish phrase to offend everyone in the capital city. Everyone knew his character, so it would have been fine if he had only punished the young master of the Yao family.

But the problem was, when he was investigating the cause of this case, he somehow found out that the Yao Family was taking over the property.

It turned out that the county magistrate was talking to his friend about the matter of the Yao Family seizing the property. However, when the Young Master of the Yao Family walked by and heard that, a ruckus broke out, causing something to happen.

Due to this, the Yao family received a reprimand. Not only did they fail to protect their children, they even lost a few trusted aides, giving up all of those things as well.

In this way, they were at peace. However, they did not expect that the justice court's officials' wives, children, and mothers would encounter an accident on their way back from burning incense outside the city.

At that time, out of the twenty people who had left, not a single one of them had returned alive.

This was also the only case that the justice court officials were unable to resolve.

Those people seemed to be really careless. The frightened horses had all been dragged into the cliff, and none of them had survived.

And then there were those that happened later. The Official of the Supreme Court was not allowed to resign, and instead went to Jiangdong, where he became a salt carrier that everyone coveted. Afterwards, after a few years of being low-key and calm, he had once again jumped out and appeared in front of everyone.

What puzzled Su Zixuan was that Zheng Qingtai was already under the protection of the emperor. How could the Yao family be so stupid as to deny the emperor face and kill his family members?

Even if he wanted to do it, he shouldn't be the one who should keep a low profile.

Su Zixuan vaguely thought that it was still spring when they left Beijing, but now they were all covered in sweat as they slept.

He vaguely saw all sorts of things in his dream, slowly covering up that thread of doubt. When he woke up, Jiang Nan was already very close at hand.

He washed his hands and brewed some tea. He chatted with Chu Yixuan for the past ten days, sometimes embarrassed by his teasing. Sometimes he talked about something else, which made Su Zixuan more aware of Prince Jin.

Before Chu Yixuan returned to the capital from the Everlasting School, he had to travel around the world for a period of time. Before Chu Yixuan returned to the capital from the Everlasting Sect, he had to travel around the world for a period of time.

In his heart, Su Zixuan thought, there was not only a desire for power, but also a benevolent love for the people of the dawn of the world.

It might be a good thing for such a person to form an alliance with him, and it was for his own sake.
