Qiao Xi looked at the courtyard that was extremely desolate yesterday, but was now full of colorful flowers, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Then she couldn't get to the door. She had no choice but to shout loudly and try to break the formation.

Qi Anze opened the door and saw the girl running around among the flowers. He immediately retracted his steps and looked at her with a stern expression.

Magistrate Wen and his party standing at the entrance of the courtyard looked at the two motionless people who were spinning in circles and opening the door, and they all looked at each other.

"Did Miss Qiao make a mistake and be punished by His Highness the Crown Prince?" County Magistrate Wen asked the master next to him in a low voice.

"Probably so."

The group of people stood like this all morning, until Qiao Xi really had no strength left and sat down on the ground, looking at the sky.

And when Qi Anze, who had not yet come out of the house, opened the door again,

County Magistrate Wen thought that time was almost up and His Highness the Crown Prince's anger should have subsided, so he boldly spoke, "Your Majesty Wen Youcai is here to see Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing the sound, Qiao Xi thought it was an auditory hallucination, panting tiredly and shaking his head.

Qi Anze also discovered at this time that he could finally hear the second voice, and immediately stopped them from entering the hospital.

"Magistrate Wen County, please stand still and don't move.

Send someone to cover her mouth and nose and send Miss Qiao to the front hall."

Magistrate Wen was stunned when he heard this order, thinking that Qiao Xi was injured.

He immediately ordered the mother-in-law at home to follow His Highness's instructions, cover her mouth and nose, carry her out on a stretcher, and invite a doctor to come and treat her.

When Qi Anze saw Qiao Xi being carried out, he turned around and returned to the room.

News had already come from the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very special to Miss Qiao, so Magistrate Wen was waiting outside the house very anxiously.

…

After a while, I saw the doctor coming out, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing? Is everything okay?"

"Mr. Wen, the girl in the room is fine. She is just a little tired. She will be fine after taking a rest."

"No trauma?"

"I have never noticed that this girl has a very healthy physique."

After drinking sugar water all night, Josie finally made up her mind to open her eyes.

Slowly opening his left eye, he realized that the peach blossoms were no longer in front of him, and immediately opened the other eye.

"Finally it's out."

She patted her chest and nodded happily, looking up and asking the little maid serving her,

"How did you adults carry me... out of the backyard just now?"

She knew that she was being put on a stretcher by two old women.

"Carried on a stretcher." The little maid said seriously.

Josie shook her head and asked another question, "Did the person who lifted me do anything else, such as close his eyes or something?"

"I heard that I covered my mouth and nose."

Qiao Xi immediately knew what the problem was. To ensure safety, she covered her mouth and nose and walked to the door of the hospital again.

Sure enough, the place in front of me was still in the same dilapidated state, with no peach blossoms at all.

Wanting to understand this, she pulled Magistrate Wen and Master Tang into the house.

Looking at Qi Anze enjoying tea leisurely, Qiao Xi knew that he must have discovered the problem.

"County Magistrate Wen, you are so brave, you dare to murder the emperor's heir."

Magistrate Wen didn't know why the prince suddenly said this, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"The prince is unjust. The lower officials don't even know what happened."

Qiao Xi led him to the cartridge by his neck and motioned for him to stretch his hand and twist it.

Magistrate Wen swallowed, closed his eyes and turned half a circle to the left. The secret door on the wall slowly opened.

He explained quickly, cold sweat sliding down his cheeks,

"This is a game made by the official for the children. It is not something harmful. I swear, there is absolutely nothing shameful in it. It is just an ordinary passage."

Qi Anze said nothing and signaled Qiao Xi to take off the master's mask and throw it into the center of the courtyard.

Looking at the master who was spinning around, Magistrate Wen had a puzzled look on his face.

"Magistrate Wen, your small backyard actually contains the long-lost five-shaped peach blossom array,"

Qi Anze paused for a moment and asked in a cold tone,

"Do you want to use this formation to trap this prince to death?"

Magistrate Wen was so frightened that his legs were weak. His son didn't tell him what formations there were.

"Your Highness, please spare your life. I really don't know. I really don't know."

Seeing that his crying expression didn't look like he was faking it, Qiao Xi glanced at Qi Anze and asked what to do next.

Let's transfer it to the clan government. I'm sure they can find a way.

When Magistrate Wen heard this, he had nothing to say except begging for mercy and saying that he didn't know.

…

Looking at Magistrate Wen being taken away by the city defenders, Qiao Xi always felt that something was strange.

"Host, where should we go next?"

"Do you want to eat sweet and sour fish?"

Qiao Xi's eyes lit up and he immediately knew what he was going to do.

After a while, they changed into clothes suitable for novice fish sellers, pushed the new equipment in front of them and walked towards the place where Qiao Xi last discovered.

In order not to alert others, they deliberately did not answer anyone else, but silently sold the small fried fish prepared by the chef.

Perhaps seeing that their business was doing well, within two days, when they were preparing to take a break, someone came to get close to them.

Coincidentally, it was the same owner who sold sweet and sour fish that day.

"Brother, where are you from? My hometown is Yecheng."

"Xucheng."

"Xucheng was also damaged by floods? I didn't hear about it."

Qi Anze talked for a while, looking like he didn't want to mention it.

"It's okay, brother, we will make money." The vendor comforted him.

"I see that you are very popular as a fish. I wonder if you are interested in joining us. Don't worry, it will definitely be better than working alone."

Qiao Xi curled his lips deliberately, "Brother, which of your families is making as much money as us these days?"

The vendor smiled and said, "Sister, believe it or not, I can prevent you from selling even a single fish tomorrow."

Qiao Xi glanced at Qi Anze and said deliberately, "Okay, if I sell it tomorrow, you... give us the basket of fish, and don't embarrass us."

"Okay, if you can't sell it, just join us and obey our arrangements."

The next day,

Seeing the rows of government officials and soldiers filling the entire street and not allowing pedestrians to approach, Qiao Xi suddenly understood that this was a collusion between government and businessmen.

The two people pushed the cart to change places, but they ended up changing three places in a row, and the scene was the same everywhere they went.

"Host, it seems Magistrate Wen is not the only one here." Qiao Xi whispered.

"Officials from the county level up have the right to deploy a small team of government officers and soldiers, but Yuncheng only has three general judges, not to mention other officials."

In order to prevent their secrets from being exposed, the two of them had to pretend to be depressed and squat in the corner, chewing small fried fish.

"I just said that the person yesterday was not simple. You had to be good. Now you are better. Today's work was in vain."

Qi Anze caught a glimpse of a few beggars looking at them, and immediately pretended to be fierce and yelled at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was enjoying her meal. When she heard this, she raised her head inexplicably. She saw the man winking at her and immediately noticed the little beggar who had been observing them. She immediately pretended to be aggrieved.

"How do I know? What should I do now? Do I really want to listen to them?"

"What else can I do? Do I have to be hungry all the time? What will my mother do in her hometown without money?"
