Nan Yan frowned and said solemnly, "In other words, someone took this thing and put it here to help the princess escape?"

The manager's face turned white.

Doesn't this mean that there are people in this southern courtyard who have two hearts.

It would be fine if Her Royal Highness came back safely, but I just heard that His Majesty the Emperor has sent someone out to look for it, and I am afraid that he has not come back. What is the idea behind the person who secretly helped the Princess, and will it hurt the Princess? ?

If this is the case, then he has nine heads that are not enough to chop!

Thinking of this, the steward said shivering in a cold sweat, "Here, the villain will inspect the mansion immediately, and he must be found out."

But Zhu Feng heard the words, but his face was a little light.

If someone really helped Xinping, and if Xinping has not come back until now, then I am afraid that the person who helped secretly is not pure in mind, then how could he be found so easily.

But he still said, "Go check it out."

"Yes."

The person in charge raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, then turned his head and hurriedly went down.

Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng with a very anxious expression, but Zhu Feng just reached out and pressed her shoulder, and said quietly, "Don't panic, wait until there is news."

Soon, the news came.

But not optimistic.

The person in charge called up the people in the house and asked, and he knew that there was indeed a person who went to the warehouse to get a ladder, only to say that he wanted to trim the tree branches in the backyard. This person was a servant in the outer courtyard, named Jia Si .

And he was supposed to be on duty today, but he was nowhere to be seen.

The steward immediately sent someone to his house and found that the building was already empty.

It seems that the disappearance of the princess has nothing to do with this Jia Si.

The government immediately arrested all of Jia Si's other relatives and friends. After the words and deeds were tortured, these people were beaten all over, but they couldn't even ask a word, obviously they really didn't know.

When the matter was reported to Zhu Feng, Nan Yan sat next to her and felt agitated as she listened, but she still gritted her teeth to calm herself down, and after Zhu Feng heard what the manager said, he just kept his face calm and cold. Said: "Go down and get fifty big boards by yourself. If the princess can't come back safely, all of you here don't have to go home."

The man in charge was sweating like rain, and he didn't dare to beg for mercy, and Xie En was shivering and went out.

After a while, there was a sound of beatings and muffled screams outside the second door, but at this time, Nan Yan had no intention to pay attention to this at all.

She walked up to Zhu Feng and said in a deep voice, "Someone is plotting peace of mind?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her and nodded: "I'm afraid yes."

In this southern courtyard, in addition to the maids and eunuchs they brought along with them, there were also some servants who did rough work, which Cui Yuanmei chose and arranged in advance. Cui Yuanmei's handling of affairs was originally very appropriate. At least when he was screened, this Jia Si was qualified and dared to be put in the South Courtyard.

But now, this person is in danger to help the princess escape from the southern courtyard, and until now, the princess has not returned, and it is very likely that it fell into his hands.

What is the purpose of this man?

Just for peace of mind, or to use peace of mind, to achieve what purpose?

Zhu Feng thought for a while with a gloomy face, and then slowly said: "What purpose does this Jia Si Ruo have, after a while, he should find a way to pass the news to me."

"..."

"It depends on what he's going to do."

Nan Yan stood beside him, frowning and did not speak.

Feeling the deep breath on her body, Zhu Feng looked up at her and said, "Don't be in a hurry."

Nan Yan shook her head and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I just thought of one thing."

"What's up?"

"This Jia Si - logically speaking, there should be no problem after passing the previous review by Master Cui and the others, but now he suddenly made such a beheading, I'm afraid it's not just because of himself."

"..."

"If there is any problem with him, or what purpose he has, with Mr. Cui's meticulousness, he should be able to find it out."

Zhu Feng's brows also wrinkled: "What do you mean—"

Nan Yan bit her lower lip and said slowly, "The concubine suspects that this person is under orders."

"..."

"Being able to pass the level of Lord Cui shows that this Jia Si had no problem at first, but after the emperor brought his concubine and Xinping into the southern courtyard, his position, or in other words, the people in this southern courtyard became acceptable. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he just happened to be bought by someone, so he did this."

Zhu Feng's eyes flashed suddenly.

"I see what you mean," he said.

"..."

"But no matter what, the person who instructed Jia Si is still hiding behind him. Only by finding that Jia Si can we find out the person behind him."

Soon, Cui Yuanmei also knew what happened in the South Court.

He was so frightened that he came to plead guilty, but Zhu Feng did not punish him immediately, but only asked him to make a contribution to his guilt first, and Jia Si had to be found out, so Cui Yuanmei mobilized the rest of the prefecture and put them in the city. Searching for traces of Jia Si everywhere.

Although Zhu Feng tried his best to control this matter, there was a war outside the city, and the officers and soldiers in the city were digging three feet to find something. This tense atmosphere still made the common people like birds in shock, and they all closed their doors. Quick, the pedestrians in Yongzhou City disappeared, and it almost became a half-sleeping city.

Thanks to this, they quickly found Jia Si in a remote alley.

But a corpse.

Knife in the chest, killed with one knife.

He still kept the surprised and disbelieving expression on his face before he died. His eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe that the other party would suddenly kill him.

The person who killed him was obviously a very agile expert, otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to kill an adult man with such an accurate knife.

When he heard the news, Nan Yan's whole body went cold.

She thought about it for a while, and then asked eagerly: "Then, is there any clue on him, even if it is a thread?"

Cui Yuanmei knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "My lord, forgive me. Wei Chen asked someone to bring the body back and searched for it in person. There was nothing on him."

Wasn't the thread cut off?

Just when Nan Yan was in a heavy heart, Zhu Feng, who had been silent all this time, said, "Go down first and let them settle the body of that Jia Si. I will go to see it in person later."

Cui Yuanmei said: "Yes."

After saying that, he backed out.

Only the two of them were left in the room, and Zhu Feng sat there with a solemn expression, as if talking to himself or speaking to Nan Yan, and said solemnly: "This water has been muddy enough. already."

When Nan Yan heard this, she sighed in her heart.

"Your Majesty means—"
