After a night of interrogation, the assassins confessed.
They did not know where the stolen silver had gone, nor did they know why Cheng Qi had swallowed that large sum of dirty silver.
But they mentioned something—
Cheng Qi had a good relationship with the Liangzhou City Guard Captain, Yuan Gui. The two of them often went to drink together.
The information about Yang Gui was quickly handed to Xiao Juan.
Young Gui, the County Governor of Liangzhou, and Princess Ni Yang were the three forces in Liangzhou.
The city guard captain was in charge of the military, and the county governor of Liangzhou was in charge of politics and livelihood.
Princess Ni Yang seemed to not care about anything, but because of her noble status, be it the City Guard Captain or the County Governor of Liangzhou, they had to treat her carefully.
All these years, the three parties had restrained each other and got along quite harmoniously.
