Chapter 488 489 [Fourteen Princes]
Prefect Yamen.
"Brother Fu, when will you lead your troops to rescue the Fourteenth Prince?" The fourth girl asked urgently.
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to look around, and it's estimated that there will be results in the next two days." Fu Kang'an smiled slightly.
"I don't know where the prince is now, and how is his safety?" The fourth girl frowned and said, "No, I can't stay in the government office anymore, I'd better go out and find him."
"Si'er, there's a huge crowd, where are you going to find it?" Seeing Fukang'an, he quickly persuaded him to stay, "It's better to stay and wait until you get accurate information before you make a move."
"No, I can't sit still. When I think of the prince suffering, my heart hurts like a knife." The fourth girl said painfully.
Fu Kang'an couldn't help being jealous when she heard her say this, "Si'er, you only care about him, don't you care about me?"
"Brother Fu, I'm sorry, the prince is kind to me, I can't leave him alone." The fourth girl shook her head and said, after she finished speaking, she jumped onto the roof of the house, and then performed lightness kung fu, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
When Fu Kang'an saw it, he couldn't help being very annoyed.
If I knew that the fourth girl was so infatuated, I should have ordered someone to kill the fourteenth prince.
…
Tianlong Inn.
Qianlong had just returned from a private visit on Weibo. As soon as he entered the inn, Heshen and Fukang'an came forward to greet him, "The servant kowtowed to the master!"
"Huh?! Why did you two come here? Didn't I order you two to stay in Yunzhou? How dare you resist the order?" Qianlong was surprised when he saw it.
"The master calmed down, and the slave reported his feelings." Seeing the emperor's anger, He Shen quickly defended himself, "The slave was informed that the Fourteenth Prince intends to assassinate him, so he came all night long to rescue him."
"Uncle Fourteen?!" Qianlong was taken aback, "Heshen, you can't slander at will without evidence."
"Your Majesty, everything this servant said is true." He Shen hurriedly kowtowed, "If it is not true, this servant is willing to suffer the crime of resisting the decree."
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to be your guarantor." Fu Kang'an also kowtowed, "If it is not true, this servant is also willing to accept the crime together."
When Qianlong heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
The two high-ranking ministers spoke so convincingly that they even dared to use their head as a guarantee. This is no child's play.
But he couldn't conclude from this that the Fourteenth Prince really had the intention of treason.
The Fourteenth Prince was his uncle after all. After he came to the throne, he not only lifted his confinement, but also granted him the titles of Duke Feng En Fu, Dorobeile, and King Doroxun. It can be said that the grace of the king is like the sea.
If the Fourteenth Prince really has the intention of usurping, then to him, it would be a mistake of sincerity, no less than stabbing a knife in his heart.
"That's enough. I can't listen to your one-sided opinions on whether the fourteenth emperor uncle has the intention of usurping." Qianlong then said, "Fu Kang'an, I order you to investigate this matter with full authority, and you must find out the truth."
"Yes, the slave obeys!" Fu Kang'an immediately ordered.
"Your Majesty, Yancheng is full of dangers, and I ask you to return to the palace as soon as possible." He Shen said again.
"No, I can't find the white lady, and I won't return to the palace for a day." Qianlong immediately refused after hearing this.
He has already found the clue of the white lady, so how can he return to the palace now.
"Your Majesty, please plan for the country, the country, and the common people!" He Shen said earnestly.
"Yes, Long live is in danger of the Qing Dynasty, and Yancheng is dangerous, so we can't stay for long!" Fukang'an also begged bitterly.
"Enough is enough, if you dare to persuade me to return to Beijing, you will all take off your crown!" Qianlong ordered coldly, "I am tired and want to go back to my room to rest, and you must not disturb me!"
He Shen and Fu Kang'an looked at each other, seeing that the emperor's opinion was so firm, they had no choice but to stop begging and retreated.
Turning around, the emperor continued to make private visits in micro-services to inquire about the whereabouts of the owner of Guangfa Foodstuffs, Mrs. Bai.
He Shen and Fu Kang'an stayed outside the inn for the whole night, and wanted to accompany the emperor the next day, but were ordered by Qianlong not to follow, which made the two of them very disappointed.
Qianlong inquired about the whereabouts of the white lady, but was surprised to find that no matter whether he bought or threatened him, he couldn't find out the whereabouts of the white lady.
This white lady has such a big business that the grain stores, money houses, tea houses, boat shops, and car dealers in the city are all her businesses. However, few of the staff and shopkeepers under the banner have actually seen her.
Everyone has heard of her rumors, but most of them have never seen her. This person is actually a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, extremely mysterious.
The more Qianlong investigated, the more suspicious and elusive he felt.
Just when he didn't know how to continue, a woman suddenly scolded, "Fun Lord, take your life!" She stabbed him with a sword!
Qianlong was taken aback, quickly dodged and fought with the woman.
Although he also learned bow horse riding and archery, fist and foot wrestling since he was a child, his skills are not bad. But soon fell behind.
As soon as it came, the woman held a sharp sword and took advantage of the weapon. And he is unarmed, only has a fan, it is difficult to parry.
Secondly, the woman's swordsmanship is superb, and her kung fu is even better than him. Therefore, it was naturally more difficult for Qianlong to deal with it.
"Oops, could it be that I, Qianlong, will die at Xiaoxiao's hands!" Qianlong became more and more frightened, regretting not listening to Heshen's words.
…
At this moment, another person shouted, "Xu Xian, don't be afraid, I'll save you!"
As soon as the voice fell, a woman held a wooden stick, jumped forward, and joined forces with Qianlong to fight the female killer.
"Xiaoyue, thank you!" Qianlong saw that it was Du Xiaoyue.
When the female killer saw that Du Xiaoyue was so skilled, she was almost on par with herself. Knowing that it would be difficult to kill Qianlong again today, he jumped onto the wall and disappeared without a trace.
"Xu Xian, are you okay?" Du Xiaoyue asked concerned, "Why did that woman kill you?"
"I don't know either." Qianlong waved his hand, "Xiaoyue, I am lucky to have you today. I will remember your kindness."
"Hey, it's a trivial matter, you don't have to be polite. Didn't you save me back then." Du Xiaoyue threw away the wooden stick, waved her hand and smiled.
Qianlong chuckled, and then asked, "By the way, Xiaoyue, where is Ji Xiaolan?"
"Mr. Ji?! You also know Mr. Ji?" Du Xiaoyue said in surprise.
Qianlong smiled, "Not only do I know, I have a good relationship with him. Where is he now, take me to see him."
He wants to ask Ji Xiaolan how to find the white lady.
"You can't see him, Mr. Ji has been arrested." Du Xiaoyue waved his hand.
"Ji Xiaolan was arrested?" Qianlong was surprised.
"That's right, Mr. Ji was arrested as soon as that He Shen came." Du Xiaoyue explained.
Qianlong nodded.
Ji Xiaolan pretended to be He Shen and came to Yancheng to check the accounts. Once Zhen Heshen arrives, his fake Heshen will definitely be revealed. At that time, he will indeed be caught in prison.
"Okay, let's go rescue Mr. Ji first." He said immediately.
The case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds by local officials is also time for a verdict. Although he was mainly busy looking for the white lady these days, he also took a look at the local customs and customs.
I have to say that Yancheng is empty, and most of the people have left their homes and fled. On the contrary, those officials and profiteers are all full of fat and rich.
If this is not dealt with, there may not be many people in the huge Yancheng.
