Chapter 740: homecoming
Chapter 740 Homecoming
"Who is so bold that he dares to have evil intentions towards his younger siblings? You should kill this sneaky guy."
Lin Jinke pretended not to know, and reprimanded angrily.
If the two of them hadn't lost Chu Nanzhi's carriage, he wouldn't have suspected this woman.
After searching all night, I found out that she led her servants to drink flower wine in Yumanlou.
Since she entered Yumanlou so blatantly, why bother to torture those two servants, she always felt that there was a ghost in her heart.
But he had to believe what the procuress said just now, and he couldn't impose the crime on her.
After thinking for a while, he explained insincerely: "Brother Yu, it's not that I suspect that you have an affair with Prince Xie. It's just that Prince Xie is concerned with the safety of the empire. If he escapes from the capital, he will return to Bai Yu country to disturb our border. The most unfavorable thing is Jinxiao, he already shoulders the heavy burden of guarding against the Dongsang people in the east, how can he handle it if he encounters the enemy again."
"That's true."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be enlightened and nodded: "I'm going into the palace now to ask my ancestors and His Majesty to let Princess Shu and Concubine Ji lead people to chase Prince Xie back, but he won't be able to escape too far after a night's work."
"Don't disturb the emperor's grandmother and emperor's brother."
Lin Jinke hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Yu has already sent someone to chase after him."
"Brother Wang is still thoughtful."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
"The emperor's brother is seriously ill, and the ministers should naturally share his worries."
Smelling the smell of alcohol all over her body, Lin Jinke felt disgusted, fanned the smell of alcohol on her face with her hand, and said impatiently: "I'll take you back to your home, and you should try to come to this kind of place as little as possible in the future, even if it is There are officials to protect each other, but after all, it is a woman's family, so it's ugly to spread it."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Right now, Feng Yue dares to accuse Jin Xiao of killing Yuan Xi, but the report of Jin Xiao and Ji Shangshu also said that it was my unworthy brother-in-law who murdered Yuan Xi." Everyone insists on their own opinions. I am afraid that the brothers and sisters will not be able to return until the special official goes to Luyan Port to draw a conclusion. These days, they will stay in the palace well, but if there is a need, ask someone to send a letter to my mansion. people sent."
"Brother Wang's lesson is that I also had a headache because of Princess Yuanxi, so I came here to get drunk last night."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be regretful and sighed: "Forget it, I just happened to ask people to buy more Jingling City's specialties during this time, and Brother Wang also knows that I am just from a village with a lot of family members. I haven't seen much of the world, so it's the first time I come to Jingling City, so I better prepare some good things and go back to open their eyes."
"It makes sense."
Lin Jinke now just wants to keep her firmly in the capital, and echoed the situation: "My younger brother and sister were crowned princesses last year with Jinxiao, and now they are even ennobled by their own abilities. I can't find another woman as outstanding as you, so I have to prepare more generous gifts to reward my parents and fellow villagers."
"Brother Wang still understands me."
Chu Nanzhi smiled and got up, and went downstairs with him.
Sitting back in the carriage, Lin Jinke personally escorted her and Sang Qi back to the palace.
Along the way, soldiers can be seen running around.
Chu Nanzhi knew that these people were all looking for the trace of Prince Xie.
I'm afraid that these people will not think that Bender is still in Beijing if they think about it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing in her heart.
Before entering the mansion, Lin Jinke stopped Chu Nanzhi, and asked suddenly: "Sister and sister, how did you say that Prince Xie got out of Jingling City? I asked the generals on duty, and only one person found out that 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 to say that Prince Xie really returned to Bai Yu Kingdom. After all, he sincerely asked for peace, and it is unreasonable to forcefully detain him. Besides, he did not commit a serious crime that violated our court's criminal laws, and His Majesty has not ordered to keep him. It's not wrong for him to enter and exit Jingling City after the new year's day, but he will encounter many obstacles along the way without saying goodbye without a customs clearance document?"
After thinking about it, she added suspiciously, "Could it be that you traveled somewhere?"
"Impossible, at this juncture, he still has the leisure to travel around?"
Lin Jinke waved his hand disapprovingly.
Chu Nanzhi slightly pursed her thin lips and nodded, "Well, if he really wanted to escape back to Bai Yu Country because of fear, then the most convenient way would be to take the Jinglu Canal, go down the river, and reach the territory of Funing County and Changning County , and try to return to Shita City, I heard that there are many activities of Baiyu people in these two counties."
"That's even more impossible."
Xie Jingchen shook his head impatiently: "The Jinglu Canal is indeed convenient, but a fool would choose to escape by water. Once the king sends people to chase and intercept him, he will be unable to escape."
"Brother Wang's words are very true, but my consideration is too superficial."
Chu Nanzhi bowed down and began to compliment him.
Lin Jinke suddenly felt that this woman could also investigate cases and knew nothing about military affairs. It seemed that he had overestimated her.
He sighed contemptuously, lost his patience, waved his hand at her, and urged her resentfully: "Hurry up and go back to the house, thanking the prince will not bother my younger siblings, I have been tossing all night, go back to the house and take care of yourself." Rest for a day, and wait until Yuanxiao Yu brother asked your sister-in-law to come and accompany everyone to the city to watch the lanterns."
"Then I would like to thank Brother Wang for his kindness."
After Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, she calmly led Sang Qi back to the mansion.
Behind him, Lin Jinke still looked thoughtful.
If she really stayed in Yumanlou overnight, then who sent Xie Jingchen out of the city right under her nose?
This guy didn't pass the customs certificate, so where can he escape after leaving Jingling City?
Lin Jinke was annoyed and puzzled, so he had to send people out of the city to search and hunt. Thinking of Chu Nanzhi's mention of going straight down along the water, he still sent people to search near the river.
After Chu Nanzhi returned home, she explained to Tang Weiming about buying big boats and special products, and fell asleep after washing up.
After tossing around all night, she was really tired.
In the next few days, Lin Jinke secretly mobilized the Tang family to gather around the capital, and kept looking for Xie Jingchen's whereabouts, but he never expected that Prince Xie was still hiding in the capital.
The special official imperial missions appointed by the Queen Mother and Yin Enci also went to Jiangnan as scheduled after they were in ninth grade, to jointly thoroughly investigate the dispute between Lin Jinxiao and his permanent attendant Feng Yue.
Seeing that there are more and more secret sentries planted around the palace, Chu Nanzhi showed an unusual calmness, and continued to let people buy Jingling City's special products to return to the residence, and grandiosely prepared for the return trip.
The ships docked at the pier of the Jinglu Canal are full of style and eyeballs.
Within a few days, the news that she was about to return to Luyan Port spread throughout Jingling City, and many dignitaries came to the house to give gifts in an endless stream.
Big and small boxes filled the entire backyard.
Looking at the dazzling array of jewels and belongings, Tang Weiming couldn't help joking: "There are so many treasures, I'm afraid the big ship prepared by the slaves can't fit them."
Chu Nanzhi just smiled indifferently: "The return date is set, and it won't be too late for Manager Tang to buy another one."
Tang Weiming knew that the princess was also a lover of money, so he took it seriously and replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, the princess, there must be a lot of slaves and servants to send back to Luyan Port for the princess."
