Chapter 930 Nothing Left Out
Xiao Xixi had anticipated this.
Given how much Luo Qinghan cares about her, he would definitely try every means to find her when he learns that she is missing.
This time was not like the last time when she was kidnapped by the killers from Xueyu Tower. Last time he was able to ensure that she did not leave Shengjing. At least her life was temporarily guaranteed, so he could still maintain basic sanity.
But this time she was not in the city, and the kidnappers were likely to take her far away from Shengjing.
Once she was far away, she would be dead without the kidnappers having to do anything.
So this time Luo Qinghan didn't even bother to cover up. He just wanted to mobilize all the power he could to find the person back as soon as possible.
As long as the person can come back safely, he doesn't care what others think or say.
Xiao Xixi: "Please help me pass a message to the emperor, tell him that I am safe now, and ask him to quickly recall all the people he sent out."
If this continues, not only the ministers in the court, but even the common people will suspect that the emperor has been bewitched by this evil concubine.
Mei Guangtao immediately agreed.
He wished the emperor would call him back quickly so that he wouldn't have to work overtime late at night.
Xiao Xixi: "One more thing, my three brothers are innocent, please be merciful and let them go."
Those three are all from the imperial concubine’s family, and they are all members of Nanyue’s royal family!
When Mei Guangtao thought about the fact that he had captured all the princes of Nanyue Kingdom, he suddenly felt that his hairline was about to fly up!
He hurriedly explained, "I didn't know they were your brothers. This was all a misunderstanding. I will have someone release them right away. I hope Your Majesty will not be angry."
Don't even go and complain to the emperor or try to persuade him.
Xiao Xixi expressed her understanding: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you."
Mei Guangtao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was a person who was easy to talk to. If it had been someone arrogant and domineering, he would have been in big trouble today.
He called a yamen runner and asked him to go to the prison and release the three young men who had been arrested yesterday.
He also specifically reminded us that we must have a good attitude and must not be rude!
After releasing those three people, bring them here directly.
The bailiff was totally confused and had no idea what the prefect had planned. But as a small errand boy, he dared not ask or say anything and could only do his job obediently.
After Mei Guangtao calmed down, he remembered the purpose of his trip and spoke carefully.
"We brought back six people yesterday, two of whom committed suicide last night..."
Xiao Xixi was extremely surprised: "Who committed suicide?"
Mei Guangtao hurriedly said, "It wasn't your brother who committed suicide, but the other two injured people. I don't know their relationship with you, so I'm not sure what to do about this case for now."
In fact, he came to question Xiao Xixi. After all, she was the person involved and must know a lot of clues.
But she now holds the title of Imperial Concubine, so how could Mei Guangtao dare to interrogate her?
He could only ask her indirectly to see if he could get some useful clues.
Xiao Xixi: "I don't know them. I've never seen them before. I don't even know who they are."
Mei Guangtao asked a few more questions.
Xiao Xixi answered truthfully and was very cooperative from beginning to end, without any airs of a royal concubine at all.
Mei Guangtao did not dare to relax and still maintained a respectful attitude, for fear of displeasing the beloved imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi really didn’t know who those two people were. She could only be sure that they had bad intentions.
She thought for a moment before speaking.
"Judging from the way he was dressed, talked and behaved, he must have come from a very wealthy family.
And it's not the kind of wealth that comes from being a nouveau riche, but the kind that comes from receiving a good education since childhood.
You should understand what I mean, right? Plus his accent, he's obviously a native of Shengjing City."
After hearing the imperial concubine's description, Mei Guangtao had a rough idea in his mind.
That person was most likely a member of the aristocratic class in Shengjing City.
But there are so many aristocratic families in Shengjing City that if we check them one by one, it will take a year or two to find them all.
Xiao Xixi: "I have an idea."
Mei Guangtao: "You say."
Xiao Xixi: "Publish their portraits in Shengjing Daily and ask others to help find them."
Mei Guangtao's mind moved and he immediately came up with an idea.
"Thank you for your valuable advice, Your Majesty. I will have someone do it right away."
Accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps.
Pei Qianhuo, Wen Jiucheng, and Chu Jian walked in one after another.
Mei Guangtao immediately bowed to them and apologized.
"I'm sorry, my men didn't recognize the real man and accidentally arrested the wrong person. I hope you won't blame me."
None of the three were the type to care about things, and none of them intended to blame Mei Guangtao.
Only Pei Qianhuo raised an important suggestion.
"Can you guys pay a little more attention to the sanitation in the prison? Do you know how dirty it is? There are spider webs everywhere, and there are cockroaches and rats. How long has it been since you cleaned the place? Don't you think it's dirty?!"
Mei Guangtao smiled awkwardly: "I will make sure people pay more attention to me in the future."
Pei Qianhuo was still complaining.
"I just stayed there for one night and I feel itchy all over. I wonder if there are lice in your cell? Do you have hot water? Can I take a shower?"
Mei Guangtao: "There is hot water. I will ask the kitchen to boil some water. Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he tactfully left, leaving the four of them to have a good talk.
Wen Jiucheng looked at his junior sister's pale face and felt very distressed.
"How are you feeling? Are you still feeling miserable?"
Xiao Xixi smiled sweetly and said, "I'm much better now. Fortunately you came in time, otherwise I would be dead this time."
Wen Jiucheng touched her head and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
Xiao Xixi: "I've always wanted to ask you, aren't you in Xuanmen? Why did you all run out? And you just happened to appear near Shengjing City at this time, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Chu Jian chuckled.
“You’ll have to ask Master about this.
It was Master who said that you would be in danger, so he asked us to come to Shengjing City to find you.
Before he left, he left us a special tip.
The brocade bag contains the exact time and location, which reads "Southwest Road outside Shengjing City, July."
Wen Jiucheng continued, "We guessed that this might be the time and place where you were in danger, so we left Xuanmen and waited in the southwest road in advance."
Xiao Xixi was very surprised. She didn't expect that her master had already predicted that she would suffer this disaster today!
You really are worthy of being a master. You really have taken into account everything.
Xiao Xixi: "You have been waiting for a long time, right?"
Pei Qianhuo picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said casually: "It was only a five-day wait."
Xiao Xixi blinked: "Thank you for your hard work, Second Senior Brother, Junior Junior Brother, and the money-loser!"
Pei Qianhuo spat out a mouthful of tea.
He roared angrily, "How many times have I told you not to call me a money-loser? And why do you call them Second Senior Brother and Little Junior Brother, but only nicknames to me? What do you think of me?"
