To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 314 Why is the eldest princess of the Great Qin Dynasty here at the yamen?

Ying Yinman puffed out her cheeks, then sat down on the bed with a sullen expression.

Xianyang City is so big, she has no idea where Zhang Fan has hidden him!

Recalling how her brother had stammered and dodged questions when she asked Fusu that morning, she was furious.

"My brother is so protective of Young Master Zhang, and he even deliberately kept it from me. There must be something fishy going on! I'm so angry!" Ying Yinman angrily pounded the bed.

The maid beside her rubbed her arm and said with a pained expression, "Miss, why don't we go back to the palace? There are so many people in Xianyang City, where are we going to find someone we've never seen before? We don't even know where to begin."

"No!"

Ying Yinman's proud temper flared up. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she resolutely shook her head. "I barely managed to sneak out today. If I don't catch Young Master Zhang keeping a mistress in a secret, I'm not going back!"

"And if Father finds out I left the palace without permission, I'm finished!"

She rested her chin on her hands, deep in thought on the bed in the inn.

"If my elder brother doesn't speak up... if the Prefectural Governor doesn't intervene... who else knows the truth about Young Master Zhang..."

Suddenly! Ying Yinman's beautiful eyes lit up, and like a clever little fox, she snapped her fingers and jumped up excitedly:

"I remember now! Didn't Young Master Zhang subdue the Mo family members before? And even arrange accommodations for them!"

Ying Yinman snorted triumphantly: "Since my brother won't tell me, then I'll go ask those Mo family members! Whether Young Master Zhang's family is hiding women or not, they, as his subordinates, definitely know everything!"

"Let's go, let's wipe out that vixen's lair!"

Ying Yinman had just walked aggressively to the door when she suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.

Turning her head, an awkward smile flashed across her fair and pretty face. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Um... by the way, where exactly is the Mo family's residence in Xianyang?"

The maid stumbled, helplessly raised her hand to her forehead, and sighed.

My dear princess, you don't even know which way their door faces, how can you possibly raid their stronghold!

……

Not long after, at the Xianyang Prefectural Government Office.

Ying Yinman, accompanied by her maid, crossed the high threshold of the yamen, looking around curiously, leaving the yamen runners inside completely bewildered.

Xianyang Magistrate Ma Chi had just finished handling a dispute case and was sipping tea to moisten his throat.

Looking up, I saw a young woman dressed in fine clothes and with an extraordinary air walk in.

Ma Chi, being a high-ranking official in the capital, could tell at a glance that the young woman was from a wealthy and noble family. However, the rules of the yamen could not be disregarded. He immediately slammed his gavel and, in a bureaucratic tone, asked in an official manner:

"Who is in the hall? Why did you break into the government office without permission..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ying Yinman casually pulled a token from her waist and slammed it onto the desk with a "smack".

Ma Chi glanced down at it casually.

In that one glance, the mouthful of tea he had just drunk suddenly sprayed out with a "pfft"!

His body shuddered violently, his legs went numb instantly, and he slid off the chair and knelt on the ground with a thud, his official hat tilting to the back of his head.

"Your...Your...Your esteemed master?"

Ma Chi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, he was covered in cold sweat, and even his voice was trembling.

How did the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty end up in his small Xianyang government office?

Is this an attempt to appeal for justice by beating the drum?

Who should we sue?

Good heavens, is this little devil here to sue me?

I haven't been involved in any corruption or illegal activities while handling cases recently!

"Rise, and have everyone else leave!" Ying Yinman waved her hand.

Ma Chi felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly dismissed all the yamen runners and clerks and closed the doors of the main hall.

Once only Ma Chi remained in the hall, Ying Yinman crossed her arms and looked down at him, saying, "I ask you, where are the land deeds and exact locations of the residences of those Mo family craftsmen that Master Zhang, the Immortal Master, has placed in Xianyang? Find them for me immediately!"

Upon hearing that it was just an address inquiry, Ma Chi breathed a long sigh of relief. He dared not delay in the slightest and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes! I'll go check it right away! Please rest a moment, Your Excellency, I'll prepare the land deed file for you immediately!"

……

at the same time.

Not far from the yamen, at a tea stall and around the corner, several Black Ice Guards disguised as ordinary people were gathered together, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Why would Her Highness go to the Imperial Secretariat for no reason?" A leader of the secret guards asked in a low voice, his face full of doubt.

Another guard, responsible for listening to the inner sounds, quietly approached, swallowed hard, and reported nervously, "Boss, I just strained my ears... Her Highness seems to be asking for... the address of the Mohists!"

"The Mohist school?"

The leader of the secret guards' pupils contracted, a thunderbolt flashing through his mind in an instant, "Damn it! The one the Immortal Master brought back from Shangdang County... isn't he housed in a villa not far from the Mo family's workshop?"

Upon hearing this, several Black Ice Platform experts gasped in shock, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"What should we do now?"

One of the guards was wringing his hands anxiously. "His Majesty just issued a strict decree that the princess must not be allowed to come into contact with the person the immortal master brought back! The princess's aggressive demeanor clearly indicates that she's targeting her!"

The group huddled together and discussed the matter anxiously for a long time, like ants on a hot pan.

Not being able to disobey the emperor's orders, nor harming the princess in the slightest, was an incredibly difficult and frustrating task.

Finally, the leader of the secret guards gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and made up his mind:

"His Majesty's decree is as absolute as the heavens! If the princess goes somewhere else in the city, that's fine. But if she really gets close to that courtyard... we'll do whatever it takes, whether it's playing tricks or blocking her path and crying out for justice!"

"Even if it means creating some disturbance, we must do everything in our power to stop the princess!"

……

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of a side hall of the palace.

With a flash of light, a large stack of paper ledgers printed with standard Qin seal script appeared out of thin air in Zhang Fan's hand.

This is the perfect account created by a modern national-level supercomputing center and a master accountant!

Not only did they fill in all the pits that Zong had dug, but they also managed to clean up the little bit of money they had embezzled.

Zhang Fan glanced at his phone; the battery percentage on the screen had only dropped from 13234% to 13214%.

"Hmm? A stack of papers only used 20 units of electricity?"

Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow in surprise, then suddenly realized, "It seems that because papermaking technology has become widespread in Qin, paper is no longer considered a rare and epoch-making commodity in the system's judgment, so the energy consumed in transmission has been greatly reduced."

Looking up at the sky, I saw the midday sun high in the sky, and not even half a day had passed yet.
