Chapter 545: Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys
Looking at Chang Yanjue with deep eyes, Chu Nanzhi gradually persuaded herself to compromise, and closed her eyes unbearably: "Students must obey the teacher's orders."
Chang Lao nodded happily, glanced at Xie Jingchen coldly, and solemnly ordered: "Send Prince Xie back to the inn."
Xie Jingchen felt a little unhappy. He came here with full sincerity, but was misunderstood and embarrassed by everyone, and even made his little Zhizhi hate his husband.
The royal order he issued today was more or less directed at himself.
He would kill thousands of innocent people with just one order. He was already cruel and ruthless, and he couldn't do such a thing.
But after all, it was a matter involving another country, and he couldn't get in the middle of the conversation, so he had to follow the sergeants out of the mansion angrily.
Concubine Yue, Prince Nandu and Prince Beibin just looked at each other and fell into silence one after another.
They all knew that Lin Jinxiao's move was intended to shock people, and even if His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely agree to it. They had nothing to say, and they only gave perfunctory instructions to find out the person behind the scenes as soon as possible, and said goodbye to everyone.
Then they dispersed.
Tang Ru held the recovered imperial edict in his hand and watched Concubine Yue and others go away. It gradually became clear in his heart. He had a strong feeling that this matter was inseparable from King Nandu and King Beibin.
Now, he had to try to persuade the princess to put aside her grudges and live in harmony with Prince Pingning and his wife. Only the close unity of the two princes from outside the vassal could intimidate the kings in the capital.
Looking at Chu Nanzhi with a smile on his face, Tang Ru apologized sincerely: "Princess, I have offended a lot today. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope that in the future, our two families can turn their conflicts into good friends, and I will definitely get along with you when I am lowered.
Only His Highness and the Princess are on the same page."
Chu Nanzhi would not listen to what was said in such a scene, and a calm smile broke out on her calm face: "The governor's words were serious, but fortunately they did not hurt the harmony between your family and our family. Although it is
The assassin has been caught, but the person behind it has not been caught. Your Highness is about to seal him, and it is urgent to find the person behind it. We have to rely on the Grand Governor to put in more effort."
She was very clear about Tang Ru's little thoughts. She just felt that what happened today was instigated by the two imperial uncles, and he wanted to help King Qinghe win over Lin Jinxiao.
As for who instigated what happened today, she had no idea. She just warned: "In the past few days, I will trouble the two governors to put a reward for the murderer according to the portrait, and send more people to strengthen the security in the city. I don't want your highness to do anything."
There will be chaos again in the city before the seal is sealed."
"I will take my orders."
After Tang Ru and Li Ce answered respectfully, they led Princess Qian to leave.
Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about asking Li Ce to help recruit dead soldiers, so she called him to an unoccupied side room. Then she calmed down and asked, "Sanlang, have you completed all the things I asked you to do?"
Li Ce pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "Sister-in-law, according to your instructions, I have secretly recruited two hundred dead men and sent them to the horse farm in Nanhua Mountain. They are all staying there as horse farm handymen.
Help build a horse farm."
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled at him and said: "But this amount is far from enough. You have to spend all the 20,000 taels of silver notes I gave you. You don't have to be stingy. You can recruit more at home so that the racecourse can get on the right track.
Later, it was not a problem to arrange seven to eight hundred handymen to look after the horses at the racecourse, and they would not be suspected."
"My little brother has taken note of it."
Li Ce glanced at her anxiously and said uneasily: "Sister-in-law, please forgive me for saying more, but I don't think Colonel Chen is a reliable person. Will arranging so many people in the racecourse cause him trouble?"
Suspect."
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Nanzhi sneered and waved his hand: "Colonel Chen is Princess Shu's confidant, and it was your brother who personally promoted him to the palace to serve as the leading captain of the palace. He."
At this point, Chu Nan Zhi suddenly paused and was too embarrassed to continue.
Speaking of loyalty, this guy is naturally loyal, but he is not just loyal to himself.
I could clearly see his little behavior in front of Lin Jinxiao today, it was just because he was worried that he had cheated on his boss.
However, Chen Chuan can still clearly distinguish between right and wrong.
"Since he is in charge of the palace guards, of course we cannot hide these things from him."
Chu Nanzhi didn't care about Chen Chuan's actions, and persuaded him generously: "Sanlang, you are your brother's brother through life and death. Although Captain Chen came to Luyan Port for a short time, he also followed your brother.
If you have gone through adversity together, you must work together to help your brother in the future."
Princess Shu knew Lin Jinxiao's life experience, so the person she sent must be reliable.
Moreover, he has seen everything Chen Chuan does these days.
Now that his sister-in-law had spoken, Li Ce did not dare to be suspicious anymore and obeyed obediently. Thinking of Prince Xie, he couldn't help but say something more: "Sister-in-law, I just looked at my brother and Prince Xie.
His expression seems to be very displeased, and besides, Prince Xie probably doesn't have any good intentions for his sister-in-law, so you'd better stay away from him in the future."
"I have my own sense of proportion."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be calm and replied, but her heart couldn't help but fall into confusion.
She didn't have anything to do with this prostitute. She just thought that he had experienced so many things together and he was a rare and handsome young man. She treated him as a friend and occasionally cultivated and flattered his eyes. How could he be treated like this?
Many people misunderstood.
These days, it is really difficult for a woman to have friends of the opposite sex.
Could it be that the only thing that can make people feel at ease is to guard their husband's door all day long without leaving the door.
After sending Li Ce away, she stayed alone in a side room, thinking about Lin Jinxiao's actions just now, and still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
More than a thousand lives are about to be lost. Although they are all related to the Qi family, not everyone deserves to die. There are also many innocent people who used to invest in the Qi family village just to find a livelihood.
That's all.
The members of the Chu family, the Liu family, and even Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife used to please the Qi family to live their lives. Shouldn't they all be dragged away and killed?
When she thought of this, she felt extremely remorseful. If she hadn't been anxious to give everyone an explanation for the sake of the overall situation, and took the lead in linking the two incidents of poisoning the fish fry and the assassination, she would not have given Lin Jinxiao such inspiration.
What a sin.
In the yard, Ji Cen'an and Sang Kun have already started arranging where the guests will go. Those who live in the city will be personally escorted home by the guards, while those outside the city will be sent to the inn of Yuanlai Restaurant to rest according to Chu Nanzhi's instructions.
.
Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an, the couple, thought about how Lin Jinxiao and his wife's happy day had been caused such trouble. In addition to feeling depressed, the two elders were even more worried about the lives of thousands of people.
Several people split up. Ji Huazhen and Cui went to find Chu Nanzhi to enlighten her, while Chang Lao and Nie Lao went to the study.
Under the slightly flickering light, Lin Jinxiao was sitting in the middle of the study in a daze. When he saw the two elders coming in, he quickly stood up in fear and prepared to go up to greet them.
But before he arrived in front of the two elders, Chang Yanjue leaned on his crutches tightly and asked sternly: "Why are you issuing this royal order for the Yi clan? Even His Majesty has never set a precedent for this. You haven't even given a formal title."
Yes, you dare to be so expert. Could it be that His Majesty gave you the Emperor's Sword to let you act so wantonly?"
"Yes, our Dahe Empire has always governed the world with benevolence and righteousness. Even the most vicious people were treated with lenient punishments and sparing measures by the monarchs of the past dynasties. It is precisely in this way that everyone from the ministers and dignitaries to the common people have developed a good attitude.
You have an arrogant and fearless temper, and the teacher is well-informed, but have you ever heard of any precedent in the past dynasties where someone dared to assassinate an imperial envoy delivering an edict to Your Majesty?"
In front of Chang Lao, Lin Jinxiao, who had always been meek and well-behaved, had no intention of compromising on this matter and said righteously:
"Now that I have been granted the title of king and made the governor of a state, if my relatives and loved ones are to be bullied and framed at will, then this student Wang might as well not do it."
Chang Lao was unable to refute his resounding words, and he gradually understood that he was trying to scare the monkeys.
