MTL - Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!-Chapter 760 Go back and forth

  Chapter 760 Backtracking

   Ji Rongheng was also very puzzled at this time about the fact that Li Ce and his subordinates fled overnight.

   This guy got drunk and the soldiers on duty should have taken Chu Nanzhi and his mother to escape together. Why did they leave her and go alone?

  He was a little puzzled.

   Fortunately, Chu Nanzhi's mother and son are still in the post house, so he has to believe the rumors in the post house that the eldest princess wants to detain the princess.

   For a while, my heart also became uneasy.

  But what Princess Pingning said really comforted him.

  If they can't send their mother and child out of Langzhou safely this time, I will feel very sorry.

   And since she let go, she didn't dare to ask people to chase after her, so she could only let Li Ce and others go.

  When Chu Nanzhi's mother and son arrived in Langzhou, someone should have returned to Luyan Port to pass the news to Lin Jinxiao, lest he be wary of himself and Princess Yanjing.

   "The lower official has asked someone to prepare breakfast, and I also invite the princess and the elders to eat early and leave early."

   After Ji Rongheng clasped his fists to a few people as a salute, he led the soldiers out of the yard.

   Seeing Ji Rongheng leave, Chu Nanzhi, Chang Lao and Nie Lao smiled at each other, and led the two elders into the inner hall.

  Old Chang seemed to understand something, and said with a smile on his face: "You girl is really a ghost, and you didn't inform us in advance."

"The students just suddenly felt that now is a good time to **** Prince Xie away, and if we let Sanlang enter the state capital with us, with the group of dead soldiers under him escorting him, Princess Yan Jing would be more wary. "

Thinking of the scene where the two elders just yelled at each other, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing: "The students don't want to bother the two elders, but the second elder's scolding just now will make Governor Rong Heng and Princess Yan Jing really think that Sanlang is unwilling to continue escorting We're going to the state capital."

  Nie Huai'an immediately understood her intentions, nodded with a long sigh, "You used your body as bait to send off Prince Xie, I hope he will not disappoint your painstaking efforts."

   "I believe he will be able to stabilize the situation of the Baiyu Ten Clans."

  Recalling the agreement with Xie Jingchen in Anhe County, Chu Nanzhi has no doubts about it.

   After dinner, they led everyone to set off again, trekking all the way, and after another day of driving, they finally arrived at Langzhou City at nightfall.

  But just after everyone entered the post house, a large number of soldiers surrounded the post house.

  Ji Rongheng was furious on the spot, and yelled at the person who came: "General Pei, what are you doing, Princess Pingning, Mr. Chang, and Mr. Nie are distinguished guests invited by the eldest princess. Don't be presumptuous."

  The leading general was none other than Pei Jian, deputy captain of the Langzhou Dudu Mansion, brother of the governor Pei Yuanzhi, and Lin Yanjing's confidant.

He smiled treacherously at Chu Nanzhi, ignored Ji Rongheng's anger, and said bluntly: "Please don't blame Princess Pingning and the second elder, the fact that King Pingning murdered Princess Yuanxi has not yet been found out, the eldest princess and the governor have orders , please stay temporarily in the posthouse, if the case of Princess Yuanxi's murder has nothing to do with King Ning, the Eldest Princess will come to the door in person to apologize to the princess."

  Listening to these words, Chu Nanzhi didn't answer, but just smiled lightly at Ji Rongheng.

Ji Rongheng knew that he had broken his promise, and glared at Pei Jian angrily, cursing: "Even if this matter has yet to be clarified, I in Langzhou should not detain the family of King Pingning, let alone King Pingning has the responsibility to go north. How dare you make a mistake."

   "The governor must not be angry."

Pei Jian accompanied him with a smile, and persuaded calmly: "It is said that your majesty cannot make arbitrary decisions because of the relatives in the harem in Beijing. Right now King Qinghe and the ancestors are holding their own opinions, but the purpose is nothing more than to control your majesty. As a minister at this time, you should see the situation clearly, reconcile it, and help His Majesty to sort out the government as soon as possible."

As he said that, he looked around the crowd with heavy eyes, and said again: "The meaning of the eldest princess can't be more clear, the dispute between the two kings should not affect the state, she is willing to mediate the conflict between the two highnesses, and return the power to the government." His Majesty."

  Listening to this high-sounding reason, Chu Nanzhi continued to remain silent.

  At this time, she didn't need to say any more, it was worth a thousand words, and she silently led the two elders and the whole family into the post house obediently.

  Ji Rongheng was so angry that his face was ashen. The last thing he wanted in his life was to lose to others. Now that he has lost Princess Pingning, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

   Angrily rushed to the Governor's Mansion, seeing Lin Yanjing, he asked sharply: "What is the princess's intention, do you want to fight against King Pingning just because of this?"

Although Lin Yanjing is nearly fifty years old, she still has a charming charm. She is wearing a calico gown, sitting on the top of the government office, applying rouge leisurely, waiting to tidy up before slowly raising her head and smiling calmly. He said: "Even if it's against King Pingning, so what, with my 100,000 cavalry in Langzhou, can his navy break through?"

  After speaking, he got up slowly and walked to Ji Rongheng's side, his smile became unfathomable:

"Governor, you were also pushed out of Beijing, and the culprits were King Pingning and his wife. This is a great opportunity for you to win back the city. How could you let that woman go and offend King Qinghe? How can King Qin's edict be worth Qinghe's 300,000 cavalry, not to mention that the Tang family still has 100,000 pieces scattered around, if King Qinghe sends troops south, can you withstand his attack?"

Ji Rongheng pondered for a moment before replying: "Princess, let's discuss the matter. Although the last general was reprimanded, he did misunderstand King Pingning, and the last general accepted the punishment. Since he took office, a series of decrees have been well received by the people. The last day before yesterday, the last general will go to Anhe County greeted them, and all the people swore to protect Concubine Pingning to the death, which shows the prestige of the two of them among the people, not to mention that he is the son of the former prince, if he ascends to the throne, it is what the people want."

   "What the people want is nothing more than deceiving the world."

Lin Yanjing snorted coldly with disdain: "The slave family has traveled all the way, from Beijing to Langzhou, and only understands one truth, that is, to hold on to the power in your hand so that you will not be controlled by others. Isn't it because of this that the old ancestor was able to regent for decades? , I can be regarded as being instructed by her old man, now we only need to stick to Langzhou, and the benefits will follow one after another."

   "Could it be that the eldest princess wants to support the army?"

  Ji Rongheng faintly sensed her ambition.

On the contrary, I underestimated this eldest princess. I thought she would be sympathetic to her ancestors. If she married her to the famous Pei family in Langzhou, she would be grateful for the kindness of her ancestors. The occasion is up for grabs.

   This is simply a white-eyed wolf.

  But Lin Yanjing didn't intend to talk to him anymore, and turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

When he got to the porch, he turned around again, and reminded in a cold voice: "The governor has worked hard all the way, go back and rest earlier, since you have already taken people to the state capital, you don't have to interfere in the next thing, leave it to Pei." Be strong."

After a pause, her eyes gradually became sharper, and she glared at him fiercely: "Although the son-in-law is sick, but the princess is still here, I advise the governor to understand a truth earlier, the current court is no longer what it used to be. Sheng Jing, if you continue to stick to your foolish loyalty, you will kill yourself sooner or later."

  Watching the eldest princess leave, Ji Rongheng clenched his fist helplessly:

  I thought of her as an honorable person, and respected her and courted her everywhere, but she was so despicable and shameless, pushing her every step of the way, really hateful.
