Chapter 195 Prince Yong arrives: Lan'er doesn't recognize Uncle Prince anymore?
Xie Chen frowned coldly: "Either Lu Hong didn't tell the truth, or the news was deliberately delayed in Beijing."
Xiangying thought for a moment and said, "The granary has been emptied. There is no need for Lu Hong to lie. He wants to conceal the truth more than anyone else."
Moreover, Xiangying speculated that Lu Hong followed the Sixth Prince's wishes and let Jie Chen lead the team to take over the responsibility of guarding the granary in order to shift the blame after the incident.
Lu Hong knew clearly that as Jie Chen was the tenth prince, the emperor paid a lot of attention to him and might even feel that he owed him.
Therefore, even if the theft of the granary was exposed, Jie Chen would at most be punished, and there would be no major punishment.
Xie Chen looked at the skinny monkey and asked, "Is it only Prince Yong who came, or is the imperial envoy here as well?"
"The spies said that there was only the carriage of the Prince of Yong, but no sign of the imperial envoy."
Xie Chen pondered for a moment and pushed Xiangying out.
He ordered in a deep voice: "Stay in the tent honestly these few days, and don't come out to make trouble if there is nothing to do."
King Yong hated the people of Western Zhou the most.
Xie Chen knew that King Yong had a beautiful concubine who was sold to the Western Zhou Dynasty for business when she was pregnant.
When Prince Yong heard the news and wanted to look for his concubine, she was nowhere to be found.
This incident made King Yong hate the Western Zhou Dynasty. He was not sure which merchant in the Western Zhou Dynasty did it, but he never gave up investigating for so many years.
Xiangying didn't know that King Yong hated the people of Western Zhou. She was pushed out by Jie Chen. She looked back frequently and said, "If King Yong wants to check the granary, let him see it."
I'm not afraid at all!
Xie Chen nodded at her, then took his men to the prefectural government to welcome Prince Yong's troops.
Unexpectedly, just as Xie Cheng had led his men to leave the camp, they saw King Yong's carriage approaching.
Prince Yong actually bypassed the prefectural government and came straight to him?
There was a deep feeling in Xie Chen's eyes.
He immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The stern guards stopped, and the young eunuch lifted the curtain of the carriage. A middle-aged man wearing a golden crown with two dragons entwined around his head walked out with a dignified look on his face.
He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe with golden dragon patterns embroidered on it that sparkled in the sunlight.
In Nanyue, princes were married with pythons, princes were married with four-clawed dragons, and only the emperor was worthy of being married with a five-clawed golden dragon.
Prince Yong was nearly forty years old and was a serious person.
But when those sharp eyes swept over Jie Chen, they revealed a meaningful emotion.
"Deputy General Xie, it's been a long time since I last saw you."
Xie Chen bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. If I had known that Your Majesty was coming, I would have gone to the city gate to greet you."
Prince Yong waved his hand and said, "I have advanced my pace. Please hurry up a little. I want to discuss important matters with you in advance."
Xie Chen made a gesture of invitation: "Then Your Majesty, please move to the tent and let's chat slowly."
Prince Yong nodded.
He walked into the tent where the prisoners were held, and saw from the corner of his eye that each prisoner had a small tent as a place to rest.
Prince Yong frowned calmly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Ah Ren carefully lifted the curtain and wanted to take a peek.
Qi Fengyi grabbed her collar and dragged her back to Xiangying.
Qi Fengyi lowered his voice: "Don't cause trouble for the princess!"
Aren's dark eyes revealed a hint of innocence.
"I'm sorry, sister. I'm just curious about what the prince looks like. They say that the royal family has noble blood. Do they have one more eye than us? Or one more mouth?"
Xiangying couldn't help but laugh.
She asked Ah Ren in return: "You have met the Sixth Prince. Do you think he has anything more than others?"
Ren thought about it seriously and shook his head honestly.
“No different from ordinary people.”
"That's right, princes are just like ordinary people, except that they have more power."
Ah Ren glanced at the gap in the curtain and saw that a large number of guards had already walked in.
He muttered, "Power is something that people fight for. When I grow up, I'm going to fight for power for my sister!"
In Xie Chen's tent.
Only him and Prince Yong.
I saw Jie Chen standing respectfully with his face lowered in silence.
Prince Yong showed an intimate expression: "Lan'er, please sit down. There are no outsiders here. There is no need for us to be so unfamiliar with each other as uncle and nephew."
Xie Chen bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am now a deputy general escorting prisoners. I dare not address you as a relative."
Prince Yong's eyes changed, and he finally sighed.
"You are too cautious. In fact, your father..."
"I wonder what the prince wants to discuss with Jie Chen this time?" Jie Chen interrupted Prince Yong who was trying to plead for the emperor.
Prince Yong paused and his expression became slightly serious.
"I want you to help me find someone."
"who?"
"A traveling merchant from the Western Zhou Dynasty, a woman, her last name was Yin, and her name was Yin Feihua."
Jie Chen thought hesitantly, why did this name sound familiar?
Prince Yong said in a deep voice: "The people I sent out finally found the whereabouts of my child. I heard that my concubine gave birth to a boy after she was sold to this woman."
"But when I tried to investigate further, I found no clues. I suspect that Yin Feihua took her to the Western Zhou Dynasty. I heard that she was a well-known wealthy businessman in the Western Zhou Dynasty. You should have heard of her on your way here."
Xie Chen nodded slightly: "The name is indeed familiar, but I haven't deliberately learned about it. I will go and find out about this matter and then report it to the prince."
Prince Yong nodded and said, "Okay, remember, if you get any news about her, don't alert her. I want her alive so that I can torture her to find out the whereabouts of my son."
King Yong did not stay long and left.
Lu Hong and the Sixth Prince personally brought people to greet him and invited Prince Yong to live in the prefect's residence.
After Prince Yong left, Xie Chen gave instructions to Skinny Monkey and Sour Scholar.
"Arrange the scouts below to go back as fast as possible to find Yin Feihua's whereabouts."
"yes."
Four days later.
The imperial envoy also arrived in Meicheng with a large number of officials.
This imperial envoy's surname was Liang. He was more serious than King Yong and was said to be known as the Bao Gong of Nanyue.
In other words, if he finds anything amiss, he will show no leniency and will handle the case in accordance with the law.
No wonder the Sixth Prince was so eager to put the blame on Jie Chen.
Xiangying saw through the drone that after the Sixth Prince and his men welcomed the imperial envoy, Lord Liang immediately asked to open the granary for inspection.
The main goal is to catch the target off guard.
Xiangying was holding a bag of potato chips and sitting there watching the screen calmly.
Check it out. She used a drone to put all the food back last night.
Xie Chen and the others walked towards the granary.
The Sixth Prince deliberately lagged behind and said to Xie Chen, "Has Deputy General Xie opened the granary to check in the past few days? If there is a problem, wouldn't the Imperial Envoy be able to catch the mistake?"
Xie Chen's expression was cold, his eyes were dark and calm.
He glanced at the Sixth Prince.
"The granary was handed over to me by His Highness, so there must be no problem. That's why I haven't checked it."
The Sixth Prince sneered secretly.
Is Jie Chen really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
Well, I will let him be punished in public later. Lord Liang will not tolerate him.
The Sixth Prince vowed to seize this opportunity and make Jie Chen a prisoner.
If you embezzle government grain, you will die!
Are there any babies who still remember Sister Yin Feihua? Hahaha
