The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 291 He is worried about you

"I regret it, I regret it, but Sir, can you let us go as long as we tell you?" Several people's voices were somewhat tentative, "We are just small minions, Sir, you are magnanimous, then treat us as farts and let us go."

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell the truth! Who ordered you to do this?!"

"T-T-T-To be honest...we don't know either. When that person came to see us, he was completely covered up, with only his eyes showing."

"Sir, even if you ask us to recognize it, we can't!" The few people felt extremely regretful at this moment. If they had known this would happen, they would not have accepted this order!

"If that's the case, then tell me! Is that person tall or short? Fat or thin? Male or female? How old is he?"

"And where did the other party find you? And what did they tell you? Tell me everything clearly!"

Along with Cheng Shaozhi's voice, the guard beside him picked up a shining blade.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to put on a sad face and said, "Sir... even if you want me to say it, you have to put the knife away first... I really..."

Just when he was about to say something, he saw the gleaming tip of the knife getting closer and closer to him.

"Don't tell me!"

"I say! Say it!"

Seeing that the other party was really going to attack him if he didn't speak, the man was so scared that his face turned pale and he was about to speak immediately.

"But even if you ask me to speak, I don't know what to say... That person hid himself so well... But we met in an alley in the east of the city. At that time, my brothers had just lost a game..."

Since the man had such a large sum of money, they were naturally tempted.

As for what that person said.

This is easy, that’s what everyone says anyway… “I remember now!”

"That person's voice should have changed. When I listened to it, I always felt that there was something wrong with his voice! Now I think that should be the case!"

When he said this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Cheng Shaozhi with eyes full of expectation, "Sir, I have said everything I should say, so can we..."

Let me go?

Although he didn't say this out loud so that everyone could understand what he meant, no one present looked at him.

But his expression became more serious.

If the other party came prepared and hid his identity so carefully, it would not be easy for them to find it out.

But no matter how difficult it is to find, they must find out the other party's identity!

This is not only because he is working for the Third Prince, but also because... Cheng Shaozhi's gaze turned to the person behind him.

Xier is not only his sister, but also the savior who once saved his life!

And the people who were watching gradually realized that something was wrong, even if they didn't know it.

"Since there are still many doubts in this matter, come, take them back and interrogate them carefully!"

They didn't expect that they would be taken away even after telling everything. Several people wanted to continue struggling, but when they saw the shining long knife lying in front of them, they finally gave up the idea.

Watching his men taking all the people away, Cheng Shaozhi retracted his gaze and turned his eyes to look at the people at the scene again.

"Everyone, since it has been confirmed that these rumors were spread by some people with ulterior motives, please disperse them."

"Just do what needs to be done. His Majesty loves you dearly, and the relationship between father and daughter is very good. I hope everyone will not believe in rumors or spread them!"

The crowd dispersed. Cheng Shaozhi turned his head and looked at Bai Qianxi, "It's okay now, don't be afraid."

"I'm not scared." Bai Qianxi shook her head calmly. She didn't care much about the dirt on her body at the moment. She was just a little curious, "Why did you suddenly think of coming here?"

"It's Your Highness."

"He had a feeling that your return this time would not be smooth, so he notified me to come over immediately. Fortunately, I came." Cheng Shaozhi said with relief in his tone.

If she hadn't come here herself, she would have probably suffered a lot of injustice surrounded by these people.

Seeing her looking at him with such strange eyes, Bai Qianxi's mouth twitched slightly, "You don't really think I'm some little girl who's easy to bully, do you?"

Cheng Shaozhi was silent.

Seeing him like this, Bai Qianxi knew that he might really think so.

This made Bai Qianxi a little confused about what to say.

It's not that she really didn't fight back or retaliate, it's just that these people had already started blocking the door before she came back.

For these people, it is obvious that someone is secretly plotting something, as they are running to their doorsteps in indignation for an insignificant person.

She didn't dare to use too much force mainly because she was worried that if she really had a conflict with these ordinary people at her doorstep, the person behind the scenes would probably have more excuses.

If she knew this would be the result, why would she do such a stupid thing!
Let's skip this topic for now.

Bai Qianxi looked at the person in front of her, "Since you already have a prediction, have you found out anything now?"

"No." Cheng Shaozhi shook his head regretfully. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. It is not so easy for them to investigate.

"Now we can only try our best to find a way to get something out of these people, but the possibility is extremely low."

They have just explained almost everything that needs to be said, but it is not ruled out that there may be one or two tough nuts to crack.

"Yeah, I know, but I want to remind you of something else."

Bai Qianxi quickly told Shaoyi about how she and Shaoyi had encountered those scholars in the restaurant a few days ago.

"I have some suspicions that these rumors first came from these people, but I'm not sure about the specific circumstances. You can check with these people first."

This was the best advice she could give, and she didn't know anything else.

Cheng Shaozhi didn't expect that these things that he didn't know about had happened during this period of time, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Don't worry, I will definitely check it out, but do you know the identities of those people?"

"I don't know, but Shaoyi should know." Those people were later taken directly to the government office.

She didn't care much about what happened afterwards.

Unexpectedly, he got a new piece of news and Cheng Shaozhi's face immediately showed some joy.

The people we arrested today were just some street thugs, and we wouldn't be able to get anything out of them even if we questioned them. But it's different for those scholars.

If they actually knew anything useful.

"In that case, I will go back and investigate this matter now. You should have a good rest first. Shaoyi and I will come again next time." Cheng Shaozhi couldn't wait to go back, and Bai Qianxi didn't force him to stay.

"Master, let's go back and clean up now." After Cheng Shaozhi left, there was no one in front of the princess's mansion.
