Chapter 325 The Princess's Rebellion

Su Lingxi asked Kang Lun in front of the accompanying officials: "Brother Kang, this person disappeared out of thin air. We can't do this job. It seems that we can only report to the emperor!"

Kang Lun nodded and said: "I think this is very mysterious. So many people disappeared out of thin air. There must be a force behind it. I will go to the palace to see the emperor now!"

After hearing Kang Lun's words, the emperor looked unconvinced: "My dear Kang, how many people are on the list?"

Kang Lun answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, there are 1,326 people!"

The emperor suddenly became furious: "You also know there are so many people. How could they disappear out of thin air? I think someone wants the capital to never have peace!"

Kang Lun was not surprised, because he thought so too.

He said: "Your Majesty, I have asked their families and neighbors. Before they disappeared, there was no fight or quarrel in the house. Even their luggage was not taken away. This shows that they had no intention of leaving home, and it does not seem that they were kidnapped.

Although I don’t know where they went, so many people disappeared without a trace. There must be a powerful force behind it!"

The emperor was very satisfied. This was what he wanted. He asked: "Then what do you think about this matter, my dear Kang? How did they do it and what was their purpose?"

Kang Lun answered honestly: "There is no clue, I don't know!"

The emperor fell into deep thought: "You can only hide away from all these within one day, and within three days, you can make the prices in the capital soar. Their ability should not be underestimated. I think they want the capital to continue to be in chaos, so they run away completely. As Lord Kang said, there must be someone supporting them behind the scenes, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is right!" Kang Lun naturally knew what the emperor meant, so he had to pretend to be confused.

The emperor slowly walked to Kang Luan's side and asked coldly: "Who do you think is behind this?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't know!" Kang Luan's tone was calm, but his heart was raging.

The emperor was too impatient, and he couldn't wait for someone to blame the princess and Su Lingxi for this.

The emperor frowned and said angrily: "No matter who he is, he must want to use this incident to cause unrest in the capital. He is really despicable."

Kang Luan knelt down and said earnestly: "I think that such a large-scale population disappearance must be a premeditated act. I suggest that Jingzhao Prefecture investigate this case!

But more importantly, we must quickly restore order in the capital. It's okay for wealthy families, but ordinary people can't even afford rice and flour. If this continues, there will be chaos!"

The emperor nodded: "Kang Aiqing's words make sense, but we can't rely entirely on Jingzhao Prefecture at this time. These people were cultivated by Su Lingxi. I believe she will find a way to find these people!"

Seeing that the emperor was so shameless to frame Su Lingxi, Kang Lun was very angry and said, "Your Majesty, although Su Lingxi opened a girls' school, she is a woman and has no one to use. How can she transfer so many people? And as far as I know, Su Lingxi has been staying at home since she was suspended. How can she know the whereabouts of these people!"

The emperor smiled and said, "Then let Jingzhao Prefecture help you investigate. You just said that many people are hungry. You and Su Aiqing must speed up the progress, otherwise, if you fail to do the job well, I will punish you!"

"Your Majesty, this..." Kang Lun was stunned with shock. How could the emperor be so shameless.

Soon, rumors spread that Su Lingxi was dissatisfied with the closure of the girls' school, and instigated those students to escape and took away a large amount of gold and silver materials, deliberately blocking the commercial transportation, so that goods could not enter the capital, causing prices to soar. This was deliberately trying to save money!

It was also said that Su Lingxi enslaved those students in order to achieve good results, and worked for her day and night.

The children who were released from prison were placed in a charity, but the people in the charity found that they were like wooden people, with no spiritual energy at all. They did not suspect that they were tortured in prison, but said that this was the result of Su Lingxi's oppression.

Originally, Su Lingxi's girls' school mainly recruited civilian women, and the people did enjoy the real benefits. Everyone said that Su Lingxi was a great kind person.

But now prices are soaring, and everything has to be snatched, and the ones who suffer are still the powerless common people. This person gets angry easily when he is hungry. Everyone thinks that Su Lingxi was just pretending to help the poor before, and people come to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion every day to make trouble.

The eldest princess' wife is not much better, because the eldest princess is the promoter of the girls' school. People outside are talking about it. The well-trained people in the girls' school are the power of the eldest princess to seize power.

Now he is missing, which is brewing a big conspiracy.

At first, the emperor heard such talk in the court and said it was nonsense with a dark face. However, later, the capital became more and more chaotic, people starved to death every day, and Jingzhao Prefecture gained nothing. Someone confessed that the night before the uprising of the girls' school, Su Lingxi disguised herself as a man and went to meet all the school managers.

Su Lingxi was arrested and interrogated by Jingzhao Yin. Su Lingxi confessed and said that the eldest princess went to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to tell her that the emperor was furious and afraid that the matter would be difficult to resolve. She went there to let the managers inform everyone that the future of the girls' school was uncertain and let them find their own way.

However, all the people in the girls' school disappeared, and Su Lingxi's testimony could not be confirmed, so she was imprisoned in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison. The eldest
