Chapter 39 Doubt

The next day, Xingchi was released from the prison openly and aboveboard. Qi Yujin secretly sent someone to look for him and told him to go back to the capital and wait, and not to show his face unless necessary.

And Qi Yujin saw that the matter here was almost handled, so she also suggested to Xie Chengan that it was time to go back.

"It's a great fortune that the princess is safe and sound. According to this palace, it's better for us to return to Kyoto earlier."

Shi Hong on the side also echoed: "Yes, my lord, I'm afraid the princess has suffered a lot this time. The place here is definitely not as good as the palace. If I go back earlier, the princess will not be used to it."

Xie Chengan glanced at him when he heard the words, he thought there was nothing wrong with what Qi Yujin said, after all, it was understandable that the prince wanted to return to Beijing.

But what he said seemed to be avoiding something.

Xie Chengan's expression was deep, he casually picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked: "Why is Master Shi so anxious to let this king go?"

He stared into Shi Hong's eyes, and said word by word: "Yue'er has such a big incident with you, and now you haven't even caught her kidnapper. As a magistrate, you have the nerve to let us go back to Beijing." ?”

Shi Hong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "My lord, I have been wronged. I just think that what His Highness said is reasonable, and that the princess must have been wronged, thinking that after all, this place is no match for the palace."

Qi Yujin was a little embarrassed at the side, Shi Hong was not a smart person at this time, so why did he bring him along.

Uncle said to let him go back earlier, the second prince's side is now in full swing, if he doesn't speed up and marry Xie Liangyue in, then it will be a little difficult.

"Stop talking, this king has his own decision."

Xie Chengan thought he was noisy and interrupted him: "Yue'er was kidnapped by thieves this time, if it's just an ordinary human trafficker, it's fine, if it's someone with ulterior motives, can you bear this responsibility?"

"No no no." Shi Hong hurriedly shook his head.

"Okay," Qi Yujin stood up, "Just now, my palace was just a suggestion. What King Zhao said is reasonable. If that's the case, we should find the culprit first."

No matter what, Xie Liangyue has to please herself first, then the rest will be solved easily?
Qi Yujin was thinking here, not knowing that her uncle's place had become a mess.

"My lord! I'm really wrong, my lord, I beg you to help me, my Gao family, this single seedling that has been passed down for generations can't just be cut off like this!"

Gao Taining knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground with tears in his eyes, wanting to ask for a blessing.

But the person in front of him never said a word, just sat there drinking tea calmly.

"My lord, just help me this time. I don't want any of next month's share. I will give it all to you."

Hearing this, the expression of the person in front moved.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Gao Taining, the corner of his mouth was half a smile, and there were some wrinkles scattered on his face that had experienced many vicissitudes.

His voice is not old, but his appearance looks like he is in his sixties or seventies.

"Master Gao, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Gao Taining finally waited until he opened his mouth, crawled to his feet, wiped his face, and said with a smile: "As long as the adults are willing to help, let alone next month, next month, the second half of the year , I will use everything this year to honor you."

"Oh," the man snorted coldly, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Thank you sir! Thank you sir!"

When Gao Taining heard that he had the opportunity, he quickly kowtowed a few times. He rubbed his hands together ecstatically, and then said: "The son of the lower official had a conflict with the guards of Princess Changyang some time ago, and in the end my son didn't live up to it. , was beaten up and wanted to take revenge, who would have expected that the people looking for it were a group of idiots who mistakenly arrested Princess Changyang, that's why..."

As soon as the other party heard his situation, he laughed instantly: "Are you kidding me? Don't you know who the Changyang Princess is?"

"The lower official has already taught Nizi severely, but you see, you have to deal with this matter, right?"

Gao Taining said resentfully: "I contacted that old man Shi Hong, but that person even negotiated terms with me. How can this be possible? I wondered if I should discuss terms with you, my lord."

"No, I'm just a small official servant, and I'm not a high-ranking official. What can I do?"

"You are wrong. How can you be incapable? You are capable."

Gao Taining hurriedly flattered: "No one in this world knows that Wang Shizhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the uncle of our third prince. Who is the third prince? The most beloved son of the Holy Majesty, the master who can be the heir apparent in the future is indispensable. The third prince's mother You are the only one in the family, so you have the final say."

"You can't talk nonsense, I don't want to lose my head."

Wang Shizhong spoke cowardly, but his tone was very arrogant.

Gao Taining knew that his flattery was in the right place, so he called it hot to hit the railway: "Isn't the third prince also in Meizhou? See if you can ask the third prince to help talk about love over there."

Wang Shizhong glanced at him, "tsk" and said: "You have made this matter too complicated. Your Highness doesn't know anything, and you can't drag him into the ditch. If something happens, you will be in trouble."

"Yes, yes," Gao Taining quickly agreed, "Then what do you think is the most reliable way to deal with it?"

Wang Shizhong narrowed his eyes, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Meizhou, Shifu.

"Yue'er, how are you feeling?"

Xie Cheng'an came to his daughter's room with the freshly stewed chicken soup in his hands, and asked caringly, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Xie Liangyue smiled at him, took the plate and put it on the table, "I'm fine, Father, you don't have to worry."

"That's good."

Xie Chengan was dragged by her to sit down, sighed, and said: "Father has been terrified these days."

Xie Liangyue felt uncomfortable, she held her father's hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, father, I made you worry."

"It's right to worry about you. I'm just a baby bump like you. Can you not worry?"

He patted Xie Liangyue's arm and asked, "How did you disappear?"

Xie Liangyue gave an overview of the situation that day, and Xie Chengan's brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Private salt?"

Xie Liangyue nodded, and she said seriously: "Yesterday, I was worried about too many people, so I didn't tell my father. I suspect that there are many foreigners hiding on that island, and some people in our Daqu used private salt to make deals with them.

At first, another guard named Ji Chulan discovered it, and then I asked him to go to the city to inquire about the news, but before he came back, we were forced to the mountain by the menacing residents.

Qiao Ji and I saw with our own eyes that there is a large-scale private salt manufacturing site there.I was thinking of finding a way to come back and tell you about this matter, but the third prince's people found us first. "

She paused, and looked at Xie Chengan with a serious expression, "Father, you came together, why did he find us first?"

Xie Chengan's heart was shocked, "You mean this island?"

Xie Liangyue shook her head, "No, this island should have nothing to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't easily take you to the island, but he has been at odds with you before, but suddenly he is so interested in my affairs. Don't you doubt it at all?"
