Chapter 417
Knowing that An Beibei didn't have any clues about Chu Linglong, Chu Qingfeng was a little disappointed.

"Immediately send someone to check the place she said to see if they can find any clues."

"Yes."

"In addition, send someone to investigate An's background carefully."

Chu Qingfeng pondered.

The experience that An said was not different from what they found out, except for two suspicious points that could not be verified.

One is what she calls amnesia.

The second is the so-called marriage contract with Qi Erlang.

Since she is not Chu Linglong, who is she?from where?Which family's daughter can be raised to be good at fortification and planting but not bad handwriting?
If he was born in poverty, why is his chess skill so superb?

The more he thought about it, the more Chu Qingfeng felt strange, and the more suspicious he was about An Beibei's origin.

"Master, Wei Yin asks to see you."

Chu Qingfeng gathered his thoughts, "Let him in."

"The humble Wei Yin has met His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

As soon as Wei Yin entered the room, he knelt down respectfully and saluted.

However, after a while, he didn't hear Chu Qingfeng's voice, and he was startled, the third prince is trying to show him off!

why?
Could it be that someone betrayed him and his plan was exposed?

Or, where does he feel that he has offended the Third Prince?
Wei Yin racked his brains to think about it, and when he was about to be unable to bear it, he finally heard Chu Qingfeng's calm voice.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Yin stood up, his heart still pounding.

"Do you know why the prince summoned you?"

"I don't know about the lowly position, so please make it clear to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Wei Yin said with trepidation.

"I don't know?"

Chu Qingfeng snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "Didn't your spy guarding outside the county guard's mansion tell you where the prince has been recently?"

Wei Yin was terrified, and fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Your Highness, I have absolutely no intention of inquiring about His Highness's whereabouts. I just want to be a girl, and when I learned that my daughter is under His Highness's protection, I sent a few servants to pick her up, that's all."

Wei Yin explained tremblingly, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The crime of inquiring about the whereabouts of the third prince can be light or serious, and it all depends on the third prince's thought.

"Eager for a daughter? Why is Miss Wei crying and complaining that Master Wei, together with his step-wife, poisoned and killed his daughter-in-law, and traveled alone through mountains and rivers to seek the protection of my prince?"

Chu Qingfeng scolded angrily.

"Returning to Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding."

Wei Yin said with a sad face: "Speaking of it, it's all because of being busy with official duties these years, neglecting to discipline her, and only blindly pampering her, which led to the little girl's arrogance and indulgence, sometimes dirty with her stepmother, and not getting along very happily.

Seeing that the little girl has reached the age of marriage, but her temperament is still so domineering, the humble official made up her mind to take strict care of her, but she didn't want the little girl to hate her because of this.

As for the poisoning, it was indeed the negligence of the lowly position and the wife. Who would have thought that... the rations assigned by the family would be mixed with such harmful things?

The humble official was also very shocked and angry by this incident, and has already written to the mistress of Jingdu, hoping that there will be no such harmful things in the family's mansion. "

Wei Yin sincerely interprets a loving father's heart and the image of a humble bastard who is manipulated by his aunt but dares not speak out.

If it wasn't for Chu Qingfeng being used to intrigues and deceit, and having investigated everything about him, I'm afraid he would have believed it at this moment.

However, it doesn't matter to him whether Wei Yin's words are true or not.

"I see. It seems that this prince misunderstood Lord Wei."

Chu Qingfeng nodded, thoughtfully, then changed the subject, "Master Wei has been stationed in Qing County for seven or eight years, right?"

"Return to Your Highness, eight years."

Wei Yin replied sadly.

How many eight years can a life have?

Especially in the officialdom, for eight years, he is still standing still, and there are people who used to be in the same rank as him, even promoted to the fourth rank!

How could he not be in a hurry?
If he doesn't make plans for himself, I'm afraid he will have to stay in this position for the rest of his life, until he retires and returns home.

"Eight years, it's really a long time."

Chu Qingfeng sighed.

Yeah, it's been too long.

Wei Yin lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, his mind moved slightly.

Could it be that the words of the third prince... imply that he is going to move up?
In fact, he doesn't want to stand on the side of the third prince right now, but right now he has no choice.

Because of Wei Mingshan's wickedness, even if the third prince punished him for any crime, he couldn't bear it and walked around.

If the third prince can really make him achieve his wish, he will naturally be happy to see it, and there is no need to take the risk of provoking Nanman again.

Wei Yin waited excitedly.

Then, he heard Chu Qingfeng slightly surprised: "Why is Master Wei still kneeling? Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Yin stood up immediately, but still didn't wait for anything to happen.

He secretly glanced at Chu Qingfeng's expression, and tentatively expressed his stance: "I have been in Qing County for eight years, and I am very familiar with the surrounding counties. If His Highness has any errands here, I will do my best. "

Chu Qingfeng finally nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words, "There is really one thing that must be done by Master Wei."

Wei Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he guessed right.

"I don't know what His Highness is referring to?"

"Master Wei, do you know where the prince is these days?"

Wei Yin panicked, and quickly lowered his head, "It is true that I have never inquired about His Highness's whereabouts, Your Highness, please check!"

"Master Wei, don't be nervous."

Chu Qingfeng tapped the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "My prince just wants you to guess."

"Humble job... can't guess."

Chu Qingfeng looked at Heiying, "Heiying, tell Master Wei."

Hei Ying immediately gave a brief introduction to Wang Shancun and his party.

Of course, it only focused on the fact that the Qi family came up with the windmill after the threshing machine, and didn't mention anything about Chu Linglong.

Wei Yin's heart was agitated when he heard it.

Third Prince, what is the meaning of this?
Did he value Qi Erlang and want to keep it for his own use?

Or was he unhappy because he wiped away the credit for Qi Erlang's threshing machine?
"Your Majesty Wei now knows, what does the prince want you to do?"

Just when Wei Yin was feeling uneasy, Chu Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

"The humble position is dull, please make it clear, Your Highness."

Wei Yin hurriedly said.

"It's very simple, the prince wants you to take care of the Qi family."

Optimistic?

It's not about protecting it, nor is it watching over it.

As soon as Chu Qingfeng said this, Wei Yin was a little uncertain about Chu Qingfeng's thoughts.

"The threshing machine and windmill that the Qi family came up with are very beneficial to my great Chu, but the Qi family was involved in the rebellion of the Seventh Prince, and I don't know whether they are completely loyal to my Da Chu. Therefore, this prince wants you Take a close look at the Qi family, and never let them leave Qing County for half a step, understand?"

"Yes, I obey."

Wei Yin responded quickly, and his mind had already turned several times.

"I don't know if the third prince is referring to the entire Qi family, or... two brothers, Qi Erlang?"

"Qi Erlang, can you stand it?"
