Chu Nanzhi has been observing the people in the courtyard, wanting to see the changes in the expressions on their faces.
There is no trace of their calm and composed appearance.
She suddenly turned her eyes to Ji Wanying, who had been scolding the assassins. She always felt that something was wrong with the little princess today.
The assassins assassinating the imperial envoys were indeed infuriating, but in her eyes, Chu Nanzhi seemed to see a feeling of resentment that hated iron.
Following her words, Chu Nanzhi smiled meaningfully and said, "Who do you think Princess Wanying might have sent the letter to these people?"
"My cousin asked me this, how could I know?"
Ji Wanying's lips curved slightly and she smiled calmly: "My cousin, you won't think it was me who asked someone to deliver the message, right?"
"That won't happen."
Chu Nanzhi also looked at her again with a smile.
The little princess really didn't have this ability, and she couldn't find any reason to doubt the little princess.
Then he looked at Concubine Yue, Tang Ru, Lin Jinqian and his wife. Lin Jinqian immediately frowned and said angrily: "Look at what I did. I personally requested the imperial court. I hope Yuan Xi will marry into the palace as soon as possible. How can I still shoot myself?"
feet?"
"Why is the princess so nervous? I didn't mean it in this way."
Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Then, he secretly looked at the two imperial uncles who were extremely calm.
I don't know if it could be one of these two.
She still remembered what Lin Tingyan, the uncle of the Sixth Emperor, reminded her when she rushed to Puluo'an that day, and then Lin Jinhong assassinated her.
Coupled with what happened today, it looks very much like the Third Emperor's Uncle Lin Tingkai wanted to avenge Wu Enrong, and also to sow discord between Lin Jinxiao and the Tang family.
But he didn't expect that the young men of the Qi family would make other ideas and arrange for people to attack their fish ponds and restaurants.
There was a lot of whispering in the yard. Sang Qi was coming back from Qinghefang, accompanied by the school captain Chen Chuan.
When Chu Nanzhi saw that her expression was normal, the boulder hanging in her heart finally fell.
Sang Qi walked to her side and reported in a low voice: "Fortunately, the master has warned me a long time ago. My brother and Butler Zhao have sent people to keep a close eye on them these days. Sure enough, today we caught a few people who were acting suspiciously and found out from them
Five pounds of arsenic."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Chuan beside him and continued: "The captain was worried and personally led the people to escort the thieves over."
"Thank you, Captain Chen."
Chu Nanzhi bowed to him gratefully.
"This is all the responsibility of the general. Princess, there is no need to be polite."
While Chen Chuan was answering, his thick eyebrows trembled and he couldn't help but take another look at Prince Xie of the Baiyu tribe.
This man was too close to the princess and had to attract his attention.
Prince Xie is visiting the Dahe Empire for the first time, so why would he want to go outside the city to help the princess out of the siege?
He always felt that the two of them were already very familiar with each other and did not look like strangers at all.
As a die-hard fan of Lin Jinxiao, he couldn't let his boss suffer the loss of silence. He quietly walked up to Lin Jinxiao, who had always had a sullen face, and whispered a few words to him. Lin Jinxiao glanced at Chu Nanzhi silently, and then signaled to Chen
Chuan left first.
Holding on to his crutch, he slowly walked towards the hall and saw that Sang Kun had drawn a portrait of the Taoist the assassins had confessed to. He picked up the portrait and looked at it carefully, but he heard Lin Jinhong shouting in his ear: "This man.
"
Lin Jinxiao realized something immediately, and glared at the meek Lin Erlang with cold eyes.
Lin Jinhong covered his mouth in fear, looked at Chu Nanzhi who strode in, and immediately rushed to her and whispered: "Sister-in-law, the person in the portrait is the Taoist priest who encouraged me to assassinate you last time."
"you sure?"
Chu Nanzhi didn't want more people to know about this, so she lowered her voice and looked at him.
Lin Jinhong bit his lips tightly and nodded with determination in his eyes.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here. You can take your family to Qinghefang to rest for one night and return to the village early tomorrow."
Chu Nanzhi ordered impatiently with a cold face.
"It's better for me to take my mother, wife, and sister back to the village overnight, so as not to cause any further trouble to my elder brother and sister-in-law."
Lin Jinhong was terrified at this time, fearing that his brother and sister-in-law would blame him again.
And after seeing the portrait, he was even more certain that someone wanted to do harm to the Luyan Ganglin clan.
It would be a disaster if his mother stayed in the city, and he would never want to be burdened by her again.
"I told you to go to Qinghefang, just go to Qinghefang. Why is there all this nonsense?"
Chu Nanzhi felt angry and scolded him angrily.
Lin Jinhong was so frightened that he trembled and humbly led the family out of the living room with a smile on his face.
Just at this moment, Li Ce and Li Sanmu came in from the outside together. Li Ce first reported in a solemn voice: "Go back to your highness, we have arrested 1,236 members of the disciples of the Qi family, including those who ransacked their homes last time."
The fifty-six people who restored the genealogy of the genocide."
Li Sanmu looked at the portrait in his hand and added: "Thirteen people escaped, and I have sent people to hunt them down."
In the Li family compound, Chu Nanzhi heard from Ji Cen'an that Lin Jinxiao had sent people to arrest Gu Jiu, a disciple of the Qi family in the city. He never thought that he would arrest thousands of people in one day, and she had no idea what he wanted to do.
Although the case is not yet clear, the assassin has been caught and everyone has been given an explanation. There is no need to go into such a large-scale war.
Thinking about her venting her anger with him in the yard, she felt a little unreasonable. She did not consider the problem from his standpoint, and she did not treat herself as a citizen of the Dahe Empire. She treated Xie Jingchen
There is some sense of favoritism.
After adjusting her mood, she walked up to Lin Jinxiao, wanting to comfort him, but before she could open her mouth, she saw the pretty boy handing the portrait in Li Ce's hand, and said in a stern expressionless voice: "Interrogate each one.
If anyone reveals the whereabouts of this person, they will be punished, otherwise they will all be executed by the Donghua River outside the city in three days."
"Lin Dalang, what are you doing?"
Chu Nanzhi didn't know that he had ordered the ten clans of the Yi Qi family. As a modern person, she hated this kind of crime that easily affected the entire clan.
No matter how hateful the Qi family is, even the gangsters who helped the Qi family commit crimes should be killed, but their family and children are innocent.
"In a few days, it will be the day of your canonization ceremony. How could you commit such a murderous crime?"
Chu Nanzhi reminded somewhat angrily.
Chang Lao and Nie Lao were both civil servants after all, and they did not want him to be so cruel. Just when he was about to dissuade him, Lin Jinxiao stood up resolutely, looked at the court relatives and Xie Jingchen who followed, and rebuked in a cold tone: "That's right.
Because the sealing ceremony is imminent, these people cannot be forgiven for their crime."
After saying that, he walked to the backyard with heavy steps, leaning on his crutches.
Chang Lao watched the arrogant figure leave, and patted Chu Nanzhi gently on the shoulder: "Leave him alone, Nan Zhi, what you want to do now is to see if you can find out the person behind the scenes.
.”
For so many years, he has always treated Lin Jinxiao as his own son. He never gave him any good face when talking, even for the sake of the overall situation. But it was not until this moment that he gradually sobered up and adapted:
After all, his student is not his son.
He is a king, a high-ranking king. If he can rule the world one day, he will need to establish his authority even more.
At the moment when he was about to be crowned king, such evil things happened in Luyan Port. Not to mention Lin Jinxiao who was holding the Emperor's Sword, even His Majesty himself would not tolerate anyone daring to act so wildly.
In order to stabilize the situation in eastern and southern Xinjiang, these more than a thousand people could only become sacrifices this time.
