Chapter 758 A Princess Arrives

Compared to Luo's attempt to calm the situation, the prefect Pang Ruhai was terrified and uneasy after hearing the news.

The master who passed the message to him went to see the bodies first and recognized the identities of those bodies - they were the soldiers who were previously seconded by the prefect's wife to "handle some private matters."

"Master, who did this? ... The brother and sister surnamed Feng?" Pang Ruhai's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. "They are just merchants. How could they survive in the hands of well-trained soldiers? Besides, even if they guessed the identity of the so-called bandits, how dare they provoke them like this?"

The master's brows were furrowed. "You are absolutely right, sir. I think it must be someone else..."

After a pause, the master suddenly walked out of the study, looked around, and then went to the corridor outside to check. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he turned back and closed the study door tightly. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, tell me, could it be that person who has been hunted by us for a month..."

As soon as these words came out, Pang Ruhai's face turned pale: "Impossible! He has been missing for more than a month. Maybe he has died in the mountains! How could he stand up for a pair of merchant brothers and sisters and do such a provocative act?"

Pang Ruhai walked around the study again.

The master's face was solemn: "Master, don't forget that team that disappeared... maybe they were all killed by him."

Pang Ruhai didn't say anything for a while.

Both he and his master looked very unhappy.

If that team hadn't gone missing, they wouldn't have stepped up road checks these days.

But, after so long, there is still no news from the other party.

"No matter what, that person may be related to the brother and sister merchants surnamed Feng. Go, send someone to Jinjiang and investigate the Feng family thoroughly." Pang Ruhai gave the order with a cold face.

The master clasped his fists in response and lowered his voice: "...Sir, do you want to arrest the Feng family? If the thief is really related to the Feng family, you can use this to threaten them?"

Pang Ruhai glanced at his master and said, "It's up to you."

The master understood, this is what he meant by catching.

"I'll do it right away." The master left in a hurry, but as soon as he opened the door, he almost bumped into someone who was running in from outside.

The master shouted in displeasure: "Can't you be more steady?"

The man who came to report the news looked a little anxious and a little at a loss.

He directly raised his fist towards Pang Ruhai who was standing behind his master and said, "Sir, the urgent report from the city gate says that a princess has arrived. She has already entered the city and is on her way to the prefectural government..."

Pang Ru raised his voice: "Princess?!"

Pang Ruhai was so surprised that his face turned ugly: "What princess? Why would a princess come to such a remote town?"

"It was… the title bestowed by His Majesty himself, Princess Fusui!"

When Pang Ruhai heard the name of Princess Fusui, he felt overwhelmed.

Because of their remote small town, as a court official, he had also heard of the deeds of Princess Fusui.

This is not just any princess, she is one favored by the Emperor!

Don't be negligent at all!

He has been really busy lately, and now here comes this little princess, which is really adding to the chaos!

That’s what they said.

But Pang Ruhai still quickly dressed himself and sent someone to the back house to inform his wife, Luo.

The princess is a female relative, so naturally she has to be accompanied by his wife.

Pang Ruhai was too busy caring about anything else at the moment and was about to leave the hospital when Tuoba Chi, who had heard the news, came over and stopped him.

Tuoba Chi was Pang Jinkang's uncle and Pang Ruhai's good brother.

There was a crazy light in Tuoba Chi's eyes. Before he could say anything, Pang Ruhai's heart skipped a beat and he quickly waved away the servants around him.

"Are you going crazy again?" Pang Ruhai shouted.

Tuoba Chi smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I just heard that a princess is coming over soon."

Pang Ruhai's expression changed, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Don't try to do anything bad to me!"

Tuoba Chi smiled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? What evil ideas you have. I have heard that the Emperor and the Empress treat Princess Fusui as their own daughter..."

The veins on Pang Ruhai's forehead were bulging. He didn't even dare to listen any further. He shouted angrily: "Shut up!... She came here in a legitimate capacity as a princess. Put away all your evil ideas! If you touch her, do you want everyone in the Pang Mansion to be buried with you?!"

Tuoba Chi smiled gently, but his words were extremely cruel: "Brother, what you said... do you think that what you did for me before is not enough for your whole family to be chopped off?"

Pang Ruhai felt so angry that his whole body was shaking.

His temples were throbbing!

He didn't even know how he had made one mistake after another and ended up on this pirate ship!

——No one knew that he and Tuoba Chi were old friends, but in fact, Tuoba Chi was his half-brother!

Pang Ruhai's biological mother was not actually the mistress of the Pang family, but an ordinary maid in the Pang mansion at that time.

Pang Ruhai's birth was a coincidence. Pang Ruhai's father got drunk and raped his mother.

But Pang Ruhai's mother was young at the time and had no idea that she was pregnant. In addition, she did not want to be Pang Ruhai's father's concubine, so she continued to stay in the mansion and work as her maid.

By the time Pang Ruhai's mother found out she was pregnant, she was already well into her pregnancy.

In addition, Pang Ruhai's mother was not very old at the time, and the doctor said that if the abortion was forced, there might be heavy bleeding, and her life might be in danger.

At this time, Pang Ruhai's father and his wife had been married for many years but had no children. Pang Ruhai's father's wife promised that as long as Pang Ruhai's mother gave birth to the child and gave the child to her to raise, she would let Pang Ruhai's mother leave the house and give her freedom.

Later, Pang Ruhai's mother gave birth to Pang Ruhai, took a large sum of money, and left the Pang Mansion as she wished.

A long time later, Pang Ruhai's mother married a foreigner and gave birth to Tuoba Chi.

Later, the foreigner died, and Pang Ruhai's mother took Tuoba Chi back to Anjiang.

Later, Pang Ruhai was reunited with his mother as he wished, but at that time his mother was already terminally ill. Before she passed away, her only wish was that they brothers could support each other and move on.

…

Pang Ruhai finally calmed down, pressed his forehead, and took a deep breath: "I can still help you with other things, as long as you get the evidence back. But as for the princess, you must not have any ideas about her!"

"Brother, you are really timid." Tuoba Chi laughed again. Seeing Pang Ruhai's uneasy expression, he smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. I just said it casually."

Pang Ruhai snorted heavily: "You'd better do so!"
