"Who is so bold and dares to have evil intentions towards my brothers and sisters? You should cut this sneaky guy into pieces."
Lin Jinke pretended not to know and scolded angrily.
If those two people hadn't lost Chu Nanzhi's carriage and horse, he wouldn't have suspected this woman.
After searching all night, I found out that she was leading her slaves to drink wine at Yumanlou.
Since she entered Yumanlou so blatantly, why did she bother to torture the two boys? I always felt that there was something wrong with her.
But he had to believe what the madam said just now, and he could not impose the crime on her.
After thinking for a while, he explained insincerely: "Brother Yu, it's not that you suspect that you and Prince Xie are connected. It's just that Prince Xie is related to the safety of the empire. If he escapes from the capital, he will definitely return to the Baiyu Kingdom to disturb our border. When the time comes,
The most disadvantageous one is Jin Xiao. He already shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding against the Dongsang people in the east. How can he cope with being attacked from both sides again?"
"That's true."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded: "I will go to the palace and ask the ancestors and Your Majesty to let Princess Shu and Prince Consort Ji lead people to chase Prince Xie back. However, he will not be able to escape even if he spends one night."
"Don't disturb the royal grandmother and the royal brother."
Lin Jinke quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Yu has sent people to chase him."
"Brother Wang is still thoughtful."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a full smile.
"The emperor's brother is seriously ill, so it is natural that the ministers should share more of his worries."
Lin Jinke smelled the odor of alcohol all over her body and felt nauseous. He fanned the odor of alcohol that hit her face with his hand and said impatiently: "I'll take you back home. In the future, you should try not to come to this kind of place as much as possible, even if it's...
We have official bodies to protect us, but after all, we are from a womanly family, so it would be very unpleasant to spread the word."
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Now Feng Yue dares to falsely accuse Jin Xiao of killing Yuan Xi, but the report from Jin Xiao and Ji Shangshu also said that it was my unlucky brother-in-law who murdered Yuan Xi.
, everyone has their own opinions, I am afraid that the brothers and sisters will have to wait until the officials go to Luyan Port to draw conclusions before the brothers and sisters can return. They will stay in the palace well these days, but if necessary, I will ask someone to send a message to my residence. I will send
Send it to someone."
"What Brother Wang taught you is that I came here to get drunk last night because of the headache caused by Princess Yuanxi."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to sigh with regret: "Forget it, I will take advantage of these days to ask people to buy more specialties from Jingling City. Brother Wang also knows that I am just a member of the village, and I have many relatives in the clan.
I haven’t seen much of the world, so it’s my first time coming to Jingling City, so I’d better prepare some good things to go back to and open their eyes.”
"It makes sense."
Lin Jinke now just wants to keep her firmly in the capital, and he echoed: "Last year, my younger brother and sister were awarded the title of princess by virtue of Jinxiao, and now they are promoted to the rank of Grand Sikou by virtue of their own abilities. It can be said that they are returning home in glory. Looking at the entire Dahe Empire,
I can't find another outstanding woman like you, so I have to prepare more generous gifts to reward my parents and fellow villagers."
"Brother Wang still understands me."
Chu Nanzhi stood up with a smile and went downstairs with him.
After sitting back in the carriage, Lin Jinke personally escorted her and Sang Qi back to the palace.
Along the way, you can see the figures of sergeants running around.
Chu Nanzhi knew that all these people were looking for traces of Prince Xie.
I'm afraid these people won't think that Bender is still in the capital even if they think hard.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of ridicule in her heart.
Before entering the mansion, Lin Jinke stopped Chu Nanzhi and suddenly asked: "Brothers and sisters, how do you think Prince Xie got out of Jingling City? I asked the generals on duty, and only one of them found Bai Yuliu.
Your Highness has entered and exited the city gate."
"It's really hard for me to guess."
Chu Nanzhi narrowed her charming almond eyes and replied calmly:
"It is understandable that Prince Xie has indeed returned to Baiyu Kingdom. After all, he sincerely seeks peace, and it is unreasonable to forcefully detain him. Besides, he has not committed a serious crime that violates the criminal laws of our court, and His Majesty has not issued any order to retain him.
, there is nothing wrong with him going in and out of Jinling City before the New Year, but if he leaves without saying goodbye and does not have customs clearance documents, he will encounter many obstacles along the way, right?"
After thinking about it, she added suspiciously: "Did you go traveling somewhere?"
"Impossible, at this juncture, he can still have the leisure to travel around?"
Lin Jinke waved his hand disapprovingly.
Chu Nan Zhiqian pursed her thin lips and nodded: "Well, if he really wants to escape back to Baiyu Country because of fear, then the most convenient way is to take the Jinglu Canal and go down the river to Funing County and Changning County.
, and then try to return to Shita City, I heard that there are many activities of Baiyu people in these two counties."
"Then it's even more impossible."
Xie Jingchen shook his head impatiently: "The Jinglu Canal is indeed convenient, but only fools would choose the waterway to escape. Once I send people to chase and intercept him, he will not be able to escape."
"What Brother Wang said is absolutely true, but I thought too superficially."
Chu Nanzhi was resigned to his defeat and began to compliment him.
Lin Jinke suddenly felt that this woman was also capable of investigating cases and knew nothing about military affairs. It seemed that he had overestimated her.
He sighed with disdain and lost his patience. He waved his hand to her and urged angrily: "Go back home quickly. I don't need to worry about Prince Xie's affairs. I have been struggling all night. Go back home and have a good time."
Let’s rest for a day until Yuanxiao Brother Yu asks your wife Wang to come and accompany everyone to the city to watch the lanterns.”
"Then I would like to thank Brother Wang for his kindness in advance."
After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, she calmly led Sang Qi back to her house.
Behind him, Lin Jinke still looked thoughtful.
If she really stayed in Yumanlou all night, then who sent Xie Jingchen out of the city under his nose?
This guy doesn't have a customs clearance document. If he leaves Jingling City, where can he escape to?
Lin Jinke was annoyed and puzzled, so he had no choice but to send people out of the city to search and pursue him. Thinking of what Chu Nanzhi mentioned about going straight down the waterway, he sent people to search near the river.
After Chu Nanzhi returned home, she told Tang Weiming about buying large ships and special products, washed up and fell asleep.
After a hard night, she was really exhausted.
In the next few days, Lin Jinke secretly mobilized the Tang family members to gather around the capital, and continued to search for Xie Jingchen's whereabouts. However, he never expected that Prince Xie was still hiding in the capital.
The special imperial missions appointed by the Queen Mother and Yin Enci respectively also went to Jiangnan as scheduled after the ninth anniversary of the Shang Dynasty to jointly investigate the dispute between Lin Jinxiao and Chang Shi Feng Yue.
Seeing that more and more hidden sentries were placed around the palace, Chu Nanzhi behaved unusually calmly and continued to let people buy specialties from Jingling City back to the palace, preparing for the return trip in a grand manner.
The ships docked at the dock of Jinglu Canal are full of style and eye-catching.
Within a few days, the news that she was about to return to Luyan Port spread throughout Jinling City, and many dignitaries came to the house in an endless stream to give gifts.
Boxes of all sizes were piled up throughout the backyard.
Looking at the dazzling array of jewelry and property, Tang Weiming couldn't help but joke: "There are so many treasures, I'm afraid the big ship I prepared can't hold them."
Chu Nanzhi just smiled indifferently: "When the return date is set, it won't be too late for Mr. Tang to buy another one."
Tang Weiming knew that the princess was also a money-lover, so he took it seriously and replied with a smile: "Princess, please rest assured, there will definitely be a lot of slaves and maids to send the princess back to Luyan Port."
