Linglong was frightened by his sudden roar and her mind went blank.
Two ferocious-looking soldiers rushed in, lifted her up on both sides and dragged her away.
Chen Kai just stared at the sign in his hand, stroking it constantly.
The ivory card...is indeed an ivory card. Only the commander and his deputy of the Imperial Guard can use this material.
The exquisite patterns and carvings on it all show the identity of the owner.
If something like this is lost, it's a big deal! If it's lost in the capital, I'll dig three feet underground to find it.
It would not be too much for a stranger to dare to take off his head.
Fang Zhengyi was indeed sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, but how could this plaque end up in the hands of an ordinary woman?
Chen Kai frowned, turned the sign over again, and his eyes suddenly focused.
The words are gone...Where are the words? !
Originally it should have been written as Jinyiwei Commander Fang Zhengyi, but now the words have been worn off.
"this...."
Chen Kai still had a look of shock on his face when a soldier outside the door came to report, "Sir, the woman has been detained and her belongings have been searched."
"Did you find anything?"
"We didn't find anything, just some common Jin specialties and some small handicrafts."
"Come with me to interrogate that woman." Chen Kai stood up and left.
There are special cells in the yamen. In such a place where all kinds of people gather, fights and conflicts are inevitable. The design of these cells is not very strict, and they are only used to temporarily detain people for a few days.
There were not too many torture instruments, just some ordinary water and fire sticks, but even so, Linglong was frightened.
He grabbed the cell door with both hands and shouted helplessly.
When Chen Kai arrived, Linglong immediately rushed forward and cried, "Sir, what crime have I committed? Why are you arresting me?"
The situation was hard to judge for the moment, so Chen Kai squatted beside her, took out his badge and asked, "Girl, where did you get this badge?"
"I've already told you what Lord Fang gave me."
"Then why did Lord Fang give you this sign? This sign is not something that ordinary people can use."
Linglong wiped her tears and said, "I want to go to Dajing. Lord Fang said he is willing to help me. If I bring the sign, you can help me. It was really given to me by him. Otherwise, how could I come to you with such fanfare?"
Chen Kai stared at the ground, thinking.
Indeed, there could be other possibilities besides Fang Zhengyi giving it to her personally.
But the words were worn away...it was a bit strange. Could it be that he encountered some trouble and could only let a woman deliver the message in some secret way?
"Who are you and why are you going to Dajing?"
"I was a maid who served Lord Fang in the post house before. Lord Fang told me that men and women are equal in Dajing, women can go to school, and there will be a Goddess Festival, so I want to go and see it."
Chen Kai was shocked.
Maid, the maid who serves Master Fang in the inn! !
How can someone say such nonsense about gender equality? It's obvious that they are being deceived!
Something big happened..?
Chen Kai's throat tightened, and he pressed on, "What are you bringing with you to Dajing?"
"The things were taken away by you." Seeing that Chen Kai's attitude had softened, Linglong also calmed down a lot.
"Apart from those, is there anything else? Miss, it's not that we want to search you, but this badge of yours is Lord Fang's. He is of noble status and would not easily give such things to others, so we must investigate it thoroughly. Please understand."
Linglong nodded aggrievedly.
When Lord Fang gave him the sign, he didn't say that it would have such a great influence. He was thrown into jail after just one look at it.
Linglong tried to recall, then took out a handkerchief from her sleeve: "Besides those, this is the only thing left, but this handkerchief and the things I brought have nothing to do with Lord Fang."
Chen Kai took the handkerchief and looked through it carefully twice. Seeing that it was covered with complicated patterns, he asked again, "Who are you giving these things to?"
"This is what Chu Qinghan, a friend of Lord Fang, asked me to give to her friend, Xie Xian from the Banshan Newspaper. She said he is her confidant..."
Chen Kai nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling ecstatic at the same time.
I found it, I really found it this time!
The Mid-Levels Newspaper Office is not an ordinary place and has a close connection with the Prince.
The relationship between the prince and Fang Zhengyi is well known to everyone.
Zhao Linglong is so cooperative, she must know nothing. There must be crucial information in these things, which are most likely to be passed on to the palace!
I don’t know what kind of big deal it is that can be communicated in this way... In any case, I made a fortune this time!!
"Sir...can I leave now?" Looking at Chen Kai in a daze, Linglong asked timidly.
Chen Kai recovered and became friendly again. He handed the handkerchief and the ivory card to Linglong and opened the cell door himself.
He said apologetically, "Miss Linglong, I am truly sorry. I have to be careful in my duties."
"Now that we have investigated it thoroughly and there is no problem, I will help you find a caravan and send you to the capital. How about that?"
"Uh... OK, OK." Linglong nodded stupidly, and suddenly felt uneasy and asked cautiously: "Is it really okay?"
From heaven to hell and then back to heaven, the ups and downs in between are so exciting!
"No problem! Absolutely no problem. I was too rude and impatient just now. I apologize." Chen Kai enthusiastically pulled Linglong's sleeve and walked out. "Miss, you take a rest first. I'll make arrangements."
Linglong was moved back into the public housing, with two soldiers guarding the door.
Chen Kai hurriedly found his deputy and said, "Immediately arrange for fifty elite soldiers, the best fast horses, and carriages for me. Everyone should change into casual clothes and disguise themselves as merchants to return to the capital."
