Chapter 147 Princess Minghui
"Sir Governor, do you think the emperor knows what I have done or not?" Chu Ci's words were full of sarcasm.
I heard that the emperor already knew about this? This sentence was like a basin of ice water, poured over the heads of teachers, students and people.
He immediately felt regretful and looked at Chu Ci with fear in his eyes.
After all, teachers, students and people know him well. He would not be so irritable or impatient.
However, since arriving here, he has already lost his composure twice in a short period of time.
Looking at Zhang Yaoyang who seemed as if nothing had happened, he even suspected that Zhang Yaoyang was pretending.
Zhang Yaoyang, however, seemed oblivious to the strange looks he received from the teachers, students, and common people. He even kindly reminded them, "Sir, besides the Fifth Prince, there's also the Purple Envoy."
The teachers, students and the public just want to curse. Doesn’t he know that?
He simply didn't want to believe that the Fifth Prince and the Purple Envoy would protect Chu Ci. He preferred to believe that the two were just using Chu Ci as a pawn!
Thinking of this, the teachers, students and people immediately suppressed their resentment. "Does Madam Fan have enough piglets to supply all the people in Lianzhou?"
If it were an ordinary person, he might really be stopped by the teachers, students and people. But Chu Ci is a person with space!
Not to mention just Lianzhou, even if there were more, Chuci could supply them.
"Thank you, Governor, for your consideration for the common people. However, you don't have to worry about such a small matter." Chu Ci's answer was straightforward.
The teachers, students and people finally realized that they could not take advantage of Chu Ci.
Although the teachers, students, and common people were somewhat annoyed and had little face left, they still displayed their authority. "Very good. Submit a plan to the government office within three days, and I will consider cooperating."
Chu Ci thought: What's this? Is this just a dead duck trying to be stubborn?
But Chu Ci is not the kind of person who would suffer for the sake of face. "Your Excellency is generous, and I will definitely live up to your trust."
Upon hearing this, the teachers, students and the people snorted coldly and then turned and left.
Zhang Yaoyang was left standing there, muttering to himself, "Sir Governor, is he trying to take all the credit for himself? Does he have such a good appetite?"
The teachers, students and the public had no idea that they were being despised by Zhang Yaoyang, whom he always looked down upon.
After returning to the mansion, he immediately summoned his staff, thinking that he must squeeze some benefits out of Chu Ci no matter what.
Chu Ci knew nothing about this.
I didn't even have time to write a plan because the first Niu Niu came to my house, a little person who looked exactly like Niu Niu.
The key point is that this Niuniu was brought back by Ding Yong himself.
Seeing this, Chu Ci's hair stood on end.
Not to mention Sun Fu, the mother, "What on earth is going on? My Niuniu, how come there are two Niuniu?"
Chu Ci didn't know what the purpose of the person behind the scenes was, but the other party used Niu Niu's age to make them lower their guard, so they probably wouldn't really send a child over.
So Chu Ci walked gently to the side of Doctor Hua and said, "Master, can you feel the bones?"
Doctor Hua was well-informed and immediately remembered the dwarf he had seen in a village by the sea. "Yes."
Although the two people's movements were small, Fan Jingrui, who had been paying attention to them, saw their actions clearly.
Just as Doctor Hua was about to step forward and touch the bones.
But Fan Jingrui stopped him: "It's useless. Jin Ming has already used his unique skills to feel it before. He even checked the pulse. There is no flaw."
Chu Ci: Has this world become mysterious?
Then he thought of Taoist Yunshang, who had been doing nothing since moving into the courtyard. Chu Ci suggested, "How about giving him a try?"
The one who answered Chu Ci was neither Divine Doctor Hua nor Fan Jingrui, but the Purple-Robed Envoy. "Okay, let Linglong try too?"
Taoist Yunshang and Linglong arrived almost simultaneously and spoke at the same time. "Those people appeared again?" "Twin Puppet Gu?" The Twin Puppet Gu was easy to explain. With Linglong, the Gu King, around, she quickly cured the fake Niuniu of the Gu.
But what did Taoist Yunshang mean?
Fortunately, Taoist Yunshang didn't need anyone to question him, so he began to explain: "These people often use this kind of poisonous magic to harm people. First, they steal a person's life and fortune, and then use fake ones to steal a family's wealth."
He paused here before continuing, "In the same year, my Yun family's fortune was stolen and the entire clan was wiped out, leaving only this old man."
"They are in the same group?" the Purple Envoy asked confidently. "Besides that, what else have you found out?"
Yun Shang didn't want to say it, but he couldn't wait any longer. "The royal family is behind them."
More than a decade ago, the eldest prince was only a few years old. The Purple Envoy quickly eliminated the prince, then mentally filtered out some of the royal family members.
But just the word "royal family" still has a very wide scope. "Any other clues?"
Yun Shang just shook his head when he heard this: "No, I'm just an ordinary old man. I have risked my life to find out all this. But..."
Everyone thought the clue had ended there, but Yun Shang's "but" made everyone's heart hang high again.
"But what?" the Fifth Prince and the Purple-Robed Envoy asked in unison.
"But I calculated that as long as I follow Ci girl, I will be able to catch these people one by one sooner or later. It seems that my calculations were correct. Look, someone is coming to my door right now."
Yun Shang was in a really good mood.
But Chu Ci and the others were not in good condition.
Especially when the Fifth Prince saw the true face of the fake Niuniu, if he wasn't well-educated enough, he would have screamed, okay?
Even so, he was still uneasy. "Minghui? Why is it Minghui? Purple Envoy, have you received any news that Huiming is missing?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci turned to look at Fan Jingrui beside him.
Fan Jingrui immediately explained, "The one the Fifth Prince calls Minghui should be Princess Minghui, the legitimate daughter of the King of Shu."
"Princess Minghui? If I'm guessing correctly, once a person dies, the disguise effect of the Twin Puppet Gu will become ineffective, right?" Chu Ci's eyes flashed.
"So the person behind the scenes doesn't know Linglong's existence."
After hearing Chu Ci's judgment, Linglong affirmed it.
The fifth prince was the happiest: "Then we can use this time difference to secretly send Minghui back."
However, as soon as he said this, the Fifth Prince realized that something was wrong.
So much time has passed, and they haven't avoided talking to Minghui, so why didn't she react at all?
"Does this twin puppet poison have any side effects?" The fifth prince asked this question with a heavy heart.
"No." The Fifth Prince was about to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Linglong's answer.
Linglong's "but" made the fifth prince's heart hang in the air again.
"But she's too young. If she's been infested with a poisonous insect like this for too long, it's easy for her to lose the ability to distinguish between illusion and reality. Wait until she's recovered, or if someone close to her is by her side, tell her the truth. She'll recover after a while."
