Chapter 125 Blame Fu Yi again!
"I, I don't know." Zizhu was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she quickly added, "I don't have a high position in the building. I used to be active in the Kui and Li areas. I was transferred to the Imperial Capital because of this incident. I really don't know how the building will catch her, or whether they can catch her."
Zizhu is not stupid either.
At this point, she had a vague guess: "Is the Princess... no longer in the Imperial Capital?"
"Have you heard of these two people, Xiao Dong and Xiao Dong?"
"No, not yet."
Fu Yi was sure that she was not lying, so he waved his hand and signaled Wu Xun to push him out.
Seeing this, Zizhu knew this was her last chance and shouted, "Is the Prince also looking for her? What did she do in the Prince's mansion? Did she kill someone? I...I can help the Prince!"
"Please, Prince, take me out." If she hadn't been tied up, Zizhu would have kowtowed to him.
Fu Yi motioned Wu Xun to stop and asked, "Did you have the medicine with you when you were arrested?"
"Yes, yes! They were all taken away by King Liang's men."
"I understand." Fu Yi responded and left.
Zizhu stared blankly at the direction he had left. Was this the end? Or was he simply too hard-hearted to take advantage?
Fu Yi returned to the front, only to see King Liang still there.
"Why hasn't King Liang gone yet?"
"To prevent you from deceiving me, it would be better for us to go back to your Prince's Mansion together." Prince Liang said coldly.
It can be seen that he has suffered enough from Fu Yi.
"That's just in time. I need something from King Liang."
"What will the prince give in exchange this time?" Prince Liang sneered.
"Since Prince Liang is so concerned about the Princess of the Prince's Mansion, I will give Prince Liang a chance and take her away from the Imperial Capital."
"You..." Prince Liang's voice was stuck in his throat. He wanted to see if Fu Yi was possessed by a ghost.
He had a fit in the palace that day, why did he change his temper today?
"Don't think that I dare not."
Fu Yi didn't say much to him, only saying, "I want everything that was found on her when we caught the assassin that day."
King Liang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to destroy the evidence?"
"The evidence is in the hands of King Liang. Have you found anything?" "Nothing." Fu Yi asked himself and answered.
Then he asked in return: "Why not give it to me?"
“…” King Liang really wanted to stab him.
"Go get it." King Liang turned around and ordered.
He knew that Fu Yi had something even more unpleasant to say.
Given the emperor's current attitude, even if he really had some evidence against Fu Yi, he would pretend not to see it.
The things were quickly presented by the palace servants.
Fu Yi rummaged around and found a porcelain bottle. The pills in the bottle were the same ones he had seen at "Xiao He's".
Fu Yi poured one out and placed it on the tea tray: "Give it to the assassin."
"what are you up to?"
"Something that saved her life."
At this time, an attendant whispered to King Liang about what happened when Fu Yi used the knife just now.
King Liang frowned and said, "Give it to her to eat."
Just when Zizhu thought she was going to bleed to death, Wu Xun arrived with medicine.
"Is this the medicine?"
Zizhu suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up again: "Yes, yes!"
Wu Xun stuffed the food into her mouth and cut off the shackles on her body with a knife: "Get up."
King Liang waited for a while before seeing Wu Xun bringing Zizhu out. His face darkened: "Why are you taking people away too?"
Fu Yi smiled: "Otherwise I feel a little bit at a disadvantage."
King Liang was speechless, but his suspicions were somewhat alleviated. Perhaps he would actually allow him to take the person away.
The group then returned to the Prince's Mansion.
On the way, Zizhu couldn't help asking, "What about the remaining medicine..."
"It's here with me." Fu Yi turned the porcelain bottle in his palm. He stared at the bottle with a smile on his face.
Zizhu swallowed the rest of her words. "Okay, got it. I won't return it to her."
Maybe I should use the rest to control her.
…
When Prince Liang arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he was quickly led to the Diyue Pavilion.
"Is your princess living here now?"
"yes."
King Liang suppressed his anger and pushed the door open and walked in.
The door creaked unpleasantly, and when I stepped inside, I stepped on a pile of dead leaves. It was obvious that there wasn't even a maid to sweep the floor.
If Cheng Nianying were here, she would recognize that this was the place where she killed the servant.
King Liang walked forward and saw a slender figure leaning against the railing. Above her head were prayer flags left over from a previous religious ceremony.
"Fu Yi is such a heartless person. I wanted to save you, but why did he take all his anger out on you..."
Before Prince Liang could finish his words, Qin Yurong turned her head in shock: "You... Your Highness Prince Liang?"
When Prince Liang heard this tone, he felt something was wrong and his expression changed immediately: "Are you the one who came to my house that day? Aren't you the Princess of a County?"
Qin Yurong nodded with swollen eyes and a haggard face: "I am not her."
"This guy Fu Yi actually fooled me! What about her? Was she locked up by Fu Yi? Or... killed?" King Liang was really regretful now. He had indeed harmed someone.
"No, no." Qin Yurong said quickly: "She's gone."
"Gone?"
"Yes, she left the Imperial Capital on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet."
"Didn't Fu Yi catch him red-handed that day?"
Qin Yurong smiled awkwardly: "Because... because at that time, she never thought of relying on King Liang for help."
Prince Liang finally understood: "I... have become bait? All my actions are designed to attract Fu Yi?"
Qin Yurong nodded slightly and couldn't help but sigh at how surprised she was when she first heard about the plan that day.
King Liang must be as amazed as I am.
Even the prince didn’t expect that that day!
I just wonder if Prince Liang will be like the Prince of the County and start hating his sister...
Qin Yurong glanced at him cautiously.
King Liang's expression changed for a long time before he finally said, "I underestimated her."
…
Official post station.
The servant boy jumped back and forth cautiously, picking up the scattered knives on the ground, his face beaming with joy: "Ah... they all fell down."
Cheng Nianying looked at Yin Heng: "You can ask whatever you want now."
Under the same sky, Yin Heng couldn't help but marvel at this moment.
"Hiring the girl as my bodyguard was truly the best thing I ever did."
He walked over and picked someone to help him stand up straight. "Let me ask you, which prefecture are you from?"
The man just kept crying out in pain and didn't answer.
Seeing this, Cheng Nianying found Mr. Hu who was captured first and stepped on his finger bones, causing him to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Yin Heng immediately cooperated and asked again, "Why? You still don't want to say it?"
"Tell me, tell me... We are officials from Linyang County."
"Linyang is adjacent to Weiyang." Yin Heng paused, then asked, "Who sent you here?"
The officer refused to answer.
Cheng Nianying drew her knife and chopped down without blinking.
Mr. Hu's facial features suddenly twisted: "Ahhhhhhh!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll take action against him." Cheng Nianying said slowly.
Yin Heng immediately responded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely let you go back alive. But I can't say for sure whether your Master Hu will harbor resentment towards you."
The official quickly replied, "This is the magistrate born by Yue Bin, the county lieutenant of Linyang. This Mr. Hu's full name is Hu Qiu, and he has a sister who is the magistrate's concubine. He is the head of our squad, and is responsible for bringing us here to do our work. We, we don't know what's going on, we just follow orders from above."
Mr. Hu howled like a pig being slaughtered and cursed: "You dogs are really crazy! How dare you talk nonsense? Be careful or I will peel off your skin!"
Yin Heng asked again: "Do you know what happened in Weiyang County?"
"No, I don't know."
"Why did the previous Weiyang County Magistrate go crazy?"
"We really don't know..."
Yin Heng was disappointed: "After all, they are just a bunch of small fry."
The servant couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do we still have to go to Weiyang to take up our posts? Why don't we return to the Imperial Capital first and report to His Majesty?"
"We need evidence. And the date cannot be missed, otherwise it would be a violation of the order."
Yin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's change our route and go to the Shezhou garrison to see the local commander."
This is to borrow troops for protection.
But the servant boy's face was still frowning. "The civil and military officials in the court have always been at odds. I'm afraid they won't be willing to give us this convenience."
No matter how good Yin Heng's family background is, people may not buy into it and will definitely find some excuse to politely send you away.
Cheng Nianying couldn't understand: "We are officials in the same dynasty, why are we unwilling to help each other?"
"Officialdom has been like this since ancient times. Everyone wishes to stay out of everything in order to protect themselves. What's more, among the civil officials, Prince Danshuo is implicitly the leader, while the eldest son of the current emperor, Prince Liang, is admired by military officers. The discord between Prince Liang and Prince Danshuo has deepened the friction between civil and military officials." Yin Heng said.
oh.
Blame Fu Yi again!
Cheng Nianying thought about it and gave him an idea: "Find a senior monk to go to his house and tell him that if he doesn't help you today, he will die suddenly tomorrow. If he doesn't believe it, then say that he doesn't believe in Buddhism. His Majesty will definitely be unhappy to hear that."
