  Chapter 539 Yi Shi Clan

   "Purchasing a huge amount of arsenic privately, without reporting it to the government, and intending to spend a lot of money to bribe the merchants to hide the matter, so dare to say that he is innocent with ulterior motives."

  Chu Nanzhi showed a fierce look, and gave an order to the soldiers: "Take down all the people on Zhuangzi, and send them to prison for questioning."

  The majestic words directly frightened the head of the Tan family and Sun Sanba.

  The Patriarch of the Tan family immediately knelt down on the ground, and begged bitterly: "Princess, please check clearly. Caomin is only responsible for buying a batch of arsenic for others, and does not know the inside story."

   "Then confess honestly, who ordered you to buy the arsenic."

  Chu Nanzhi asked sharply.

"Yes"

The head of the Tan family raised his head and looked at the group of people with fierce eyes. Goosebumps all over his heart, and he hesitated and said, "It's Qi Jiang, the eldest son of the Qi family. Go to the city and spend a lot of money to buy thirty catties of arsenic."

   "Qi Jiang?"

  Chu Nanzhi hesitated and glanced at the people around him, but had no impression of this person.

   "Qi Jiang is the adoptive son adopted by the old grandpa of the Qi family in the early years. He has been helping to take care of the Zhuangzi of the Qi family. After the Qi family was ransacked this time, he restored his original surname and escaped the government's inspection."

  The Patriarch of the Tan family explained in fear: "But the Qi family's fields and shops have been confiscated by the government, and the group of nursing homes under his hands have no way to survive. He has a lot of resentment towards the princess, and he has always wanted to take revenge on the princess."

In order to reduce the guilt, the Patriarch of the Tan family told all the things he knew: "Qi Jiang has helped the Qi family to do evil all these years, and he will help take care of everything that is against the Qi family in the city. .”

   "So this is the person who smashed up restaurants in the city a few days ago?"

  Chu Nanzhi suddenly recalled what the fourth uncle Lin Fen mentioned before.

   "Yes, many of his subordinates were in the Yulong Gang with the old man Qi in the early years. They walked on the water all the year round. They are the most daring and reckless. They dare not do anything."

   After the Patriarch of the Tan family finished speaking, he began to beg earnestly: "Princess, I have finished explaining what should be done to the grassroots, can you give the grassroots a way out?"

   "That depends on whether what you said is true?"

  Chu Nanzhi snorted coldly.

   "Every sentence is true."

  The head of the Tan family said again: "They don't know that the concubine has found this place, and I am afraid that she is still in his Li family's village."

  Chen Chuan hated these unruly people who did not obey the king's law the most, and asked impatiently, "Where is the Li Family Village?"

   "It's just over ten miles away in the Li family compound."

  Sun Sanba said courteously: "It's just that there are mixed fish and dragons in the yard, the princess and the military men have to be careful when they want to pick someone up."

  Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi could not help but glance at the soldiers in the courtyard.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Qi family has collapsed now, there are probably many remaining disciples. If they are all concentrated in the Li family compound, it may be difficult to capture Qi Jiang just by the people they bring. .

  Chen Chuan didn't have the slightest fear, wiped the saber in his hand, and vowed: "Princess, please stay in Zhuangzi, and give me fifty people, and I will definitely tie that guy back to the concubine at the end."

  Chu Nanzhi looked at the head of the Tan family and Sun Sanba hesitantly, and shook his head worriedly: "You send someone to **** these two back, keep an eye on this Zhuangzi, and I will go there with you."

  This group of people is so bold, I am afraid that the person who assassinated the imperial envoy cannot be separated from them.

  The most urgent thing right now is to find out the matter and recover the imperial decree.

  And she is very puzzled now, how did this group of people know the time when the imperial edict entered Hong Kong, and why they only snatched the imperial edict to grant marriage.

   Furthermore, if they go to assassinate imperial envoys, why would they poison their own fry?

   This is something she hasn't figured out since the incident happened until now, it's so puzzling.

  Just as she was about to move, Chen Chuan stopped her with some anxiety.

Sang Kun and Sang Qi knew that the master was eager to solve the case at the moment, and wanted to give an explanation to the group of nobles waiting in the mansion, and they promised Chen Chuan together: "Master Captain, don't worry, there are two brothers and sisters to guard the princess, you can do whatever you want." Go catch the thief."

   Chen Chuan looked at the pair of foreign brothers and sisters, and wondered if he had the ability to protect the princess. If the princess had something good or bad, he couldn't explain it to King Pingning.

  Seeing his hesitation, Chu Nanzhi urged with a smile: "Let's go, Captain Chen, time is tight, so don't delay here."

  Chen Chuan acted according to the order, ordered people to find some torches on Zhuangzi, lit fifty soldiers, and hurriedly rushed towards the Li family compound more than ten miles away.

   As night falls, Chongrenfang is still very lively with bright lights.

  Following the people who went to search the tooth shop, they came back to report, and after learning that it was the Qi family who did it, the courtyard of the governor's mansion immediately exploded.

   "All members of the Qi family have been imprisoned, and there are still people who dare to come out and do such evil things."

   "They must all be minions."

   "A group of minions dared to assassinate the imperial envoy, it is really a bit daring."

   "If this group of people is really the case, how did they know the time when the imperial envoys entered Hong Kong, and why did they only assassinate and order the marriage?"

   "Perhaps Princess Pingning deliberately planted the blame on this group of people in order to vent her personal anger. The real murderer is someone else."

  Listening to the noisy discussions in the yard, Lin Jinxiao's heart fluctuated, and his face was always gloomy.

   He already felt guilty for not giving Chu Nanzhi a decent wedding, but now someone is taking advantage of the wedding banquet to make trouble for the two of them, and his intentions are really sinister.

   If the real culprit can't be found out, Chu Nanzhi will be the object of everyone's doubts. Even if she and Chang Lao try their best to protect her right now, it will be difficult for her to clear up the suspicion in the end.

  He believed that with Chu Nanzhi's intelligence, he would be able to give everyone an explanation. What she said before going out was the answer she gave.

  So, even if the Qi family's minions just poisoned the fish fry, they must still be accused of assassination.

  Now that I am a king, I am the governor of a state, but there are still people who dare to murder my princess and openly challenge my authority. How will I govern a state in the future.

After deliberating in his mind, he immediately called Li Ce, took out the Son of Heaven Sword, and ordered in front of everyone: "Deputy Lieutenant Li Ce listened to the order, this king ordered you to lead people to arrest the disciple who had served the Qi family overnight. , and anyone who has liaison with the Qi family will be punished as the tenth family."

   These words made Nandu Wang Lin Tingkai and Tang Ru panic.

  Lin Tingkai stared at the Tianzi Sword in his hand, and reminded with a bitter face: "Jinxiao, this punishment is too harsh, and His Majesty will not agree with you."

  Paused, he looked at Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife, and continued: "To tell the old story, Ling Yuezhang's elder brother used to be the son-in-law of the Qi family."

   "This king's Yue family has already cleared their ties with the Qi family, as evidenced by the divorce letter."

  Lin Jinxiao glanced at Lin Tingkai meaningfully, and said with a sneer, "Third Emperor Uncle protects the Qi family again and again. Could it be that he also worked for the Qi family?"

   "What are you talking about? How can I, the prince of Beijing, work for such a lowly businessman? Jinxiao's words are simply tarnishing my name."

  As soon as Lin Tingkai finished speaking, Lin Tingyan shot him a look.

  He guessed that his nephew suspected that someone was secretly instigating and wanted to thoroughly investigate the person behind the scenes, so he quickly explained: "Jinxiao, your third uncle has no other intentions, but he doesn't want you to commit more crimes."

   "My nephew will explain this matter to His Majesty. These thieves dared to assassinate imperial envoys and challenge the authority of the imperial court. Their crimes are unforgivable. I think His Majesty will agree with me when he hears about it."

  Lin Jinxiao didn't intend to discuss it with them. This matter was too strange. Maybe some of them were in collusion with the Qi family. Otherwise, how could these people think of assassinating the imperial envoys and snatching the imperial decree of marriage.

   During this period, the intention could not be clearer, it was to frame his own princess.

  Ordered Li Ce to act according to his own will immediately, and was worried that Chu Nanzhi would be in danger. He had to pretend that his leg was unhealed, so he had to ask Ji Cen'an to bring his own army to meet her.
