Chapter 66 She Can't Do This
Here, Li Jinjiang is still trying hard to deceive Cheng Nianying.
He used intimidation and comfort at the same time very well. If it were a younger girl, she would probably not be able to bear it and would confess.
But the training Cheng Nianying received since childhood meant that she would never self-destruct even if she was about to die.
Cheng Nianying looked at Li Jinjiang silently.
Seeing this, Li Jinjiang couldn't help but stop talking, and finally just said dryly: "You don't want to?"
"Well, I don't want to. What you just said shows that you have no connection with Buddha. I shouldn't stay here to save you. I want to leave."
Li Jinjiang's face turned pale with anxiety: "What about my badge? Did you steal it?"
"What badge? No." Cheng Nianying was not lying.
Li Jinjiang didn't expect that he couldn't scare her or trick her, and he couldn't find any more powerful words for a while.
He was speechless, but Cheng Nianying took a step forward: "This mansion is so deliberately distorted, it's really not a place I can stay for long. I'm leaving."
How could Li Jinjiang let her go? He immediately grabbed her hand.
Cheng Nianying pulled him twice but lost all her strength.
"Young Master!" The servants around him screamed.
When Li Jinjiang came to his senses, he found himself falling to the ground.
Li Jinjiang: "..."
He was helped up by his servants and said coldly, "You don't care about that monk anymore? I didn't lie to you. He really is in prison now."
Cheng Nianying wanted to say that his life and death were up to fate.
But then she thought that this would seem too cold and unbecoming of a monk... She said, "I'll go with you to the prefectural government."
It's just waiting no matter where you go.
Li Jinjiang was stunned.
The little nun refused so firmly at first and agreed so readily later that he couldn't change his mood for a while.
"Okay... okay. Let's go, let's go." Li Jinjiang turned around and ordered the servants, "Why don't you go pack your things."
The servant responded quickly, knowing that this was a good opportunity to look for the badge, and started flipping through it as soon as he stepped into the door.
Li Jinjiang glanced at Cheng Nianying's face specifically.
The little nun was not at all flustered.
Had he agreed so readily just now, only out of concern for the monk's safety? Li Jinjiang snorted inwardly. He had already wronged someone, so he couldn't tolerate the monk any more.
…
"Young Master." A man with a long beard came forward to greet him at the gate of the mansion.
"Mr. Liu." Li Jinjiang called him.
Cheng Nianying walked behind Li Jinjiang, first raised her eyes to glance at Mr. Liu, and then looked at the armored soldier behind Mr. Liu.
There weren't many of them, but they were already somewhat intimidating, completely different from those who had followed Li Jinjiang before.
What does this mean?
Cheng Nianying tilted her head.
This means that it might be Li Jinjiang's father's idea to ask her to go to the prefectural government?
"Young Master, please." Mr. Liu said politely.
Compared to Li Jinjiang who deliberately flatters others by calling them "Master", this person speaks much more normally.
But people like this may be more terrifying.
A thought flashed through Cheng Nianying's mind, but she still didn't feel any fear. She got on the carriage.
Li Jinjiang was about to follow, but was stopped by Mr. Liu: "Sir, please get on the horse."
Li Jinjiang could only hold it in.
Reporting this to my father was bound to result in this...
The carriage wheels started turning and soon it was heading towards the prefectural government.
Soon, another carriage approached.
Zizhu got out of the carriage, and the servant asked, "Miss Zizhu, have you bought what you wanted?"
"I bought it." Zizhu held her stomach and asked, "Has the young master come here today?"
"Here I come."
"You went to see that nun again, didn't you?"
"This..." The servant looked at her belly, "The young master took her back to the prefectural government and said she won't be back in a few days."
Zizhu paused.
It’s over!
The person ran away!
Zizhu suddenly hated the nun so much that her teeth itched.
He actually took it back to the prefectural government! The prefectural government!
Zizhu was afraid that she would not be able to kill anyone, so she could only cry out "ouch": "My stomach hurts a little..."
*
A man dressed as a monk walked into a dilapidated, long-abandoned temple and whispered, "Both of them were taken away. The former's whereabouts are unknown, and the latter was taken to the prefectural government."
The emperor first glanced at Fu Yi's face before saying, "I've been investigating in the city these past few days and have learned of Kuizhou's ambitions. He has already established a kingdom within a kingdom and has even secretly forged weapons... His rebellious intentions are beyond doubt."
"This prefect, Liping, was a Jinshi (Jinshi) who passed the imperial examination in the tenth year of the Yongyan reign and was a very capable man. It's a shame he went astray."
"Kuizhou is under such martial law, I'm afraid there will be an uprising soon."
Fu Yi didn't respond, and the others didn't dare to say anything either.
Rebellion! What a big deal!
The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Li Ping is too capable. The four Kuizhou soldiers all obey him. But even such a capable man has his shortcomings. Once he falls, the remaining troops will be leaderless. This disaster can be eliminated without resorting to military force."
Fu Yi then continued, "You want Yurong to take the opportunity to kill Li Ping?"
The emperor raised his hand and fanned the bonfire in front of him.
Fu Yi showed a helpless look: "Yurong can't do this."
The emperor paused and said, "Just wait until she leaves the palace next time and give her a dose of poison."
"She can't do it."
The temple became quiet for a moment.
Others didn't even dare to breathe.
The emperor suddenly laughed out loud. "Good, good, the marriage I arranged for you is excellent. It's a good thing that you cherish her like this. But if Liping doesn't die... there will be war in the city. How pitiful will the people be?"
Hearing this, Wu Xun became a little nervous.
He didn't quite understand why his master insisted that the Princess couldn't do it.
Wouldn't it be better if I could take this opportunity to get rid of the Princess? The thought just flashed through his mind before being suppressed.
Yes, my master said that the emperor would not let this position remain vacant. If one is gone, there will be another one... which is even worse than this one!
Fu Yi smiled helplessly again: "Why don't you send me there? Maybe I can persuade Liping to surrender."
"He has a firm mind and no one else can persuade him to surrender." The emperor had just finished speaking.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard approaching from outside.
Fu Yi listened attentively, then said seriously, "There is the sound of weapons."
The emperor dropped the stick he was using to poker the fire, and at the same time, the others stood up and tried to protect the emperor as he left.
"You go first, I'll hold them back here." Fu Yi sat as steady as a mountain.
"No!" The emperor's face darkened. "Huai Yan, you can't die."
Fu Yi still tilted his head. He said, "There are a lot of people coming. They must have been sure of who was in this temple, so they sent out such a large force."
The emperor could only sigh: "I believe you have a way to escape..."
Only then did he walk towards the back of the temple under the protection of the people from the Palace Front Department.
The people in the Palace Front Office were puzzled: "How could it be exposed? Could it be that the Princess of the County had revealed their whereabouts?"
The emperor's face darkened as he said, "I'm afraid there's a traitor."
"What?" The people from the Palace Front Department changed their expressions.
Why did the emperor bring these people to Kuizhou?
This was because when Fu Yi was injured while rescuing the emperor, he received a letter of accusation, which stated that the prefect of Kuizhou was colluding with others and had the intention of rebellion.
He didn't believe it was that person, so he brought him along on this trip.
