Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

What Chu Ci heard was "mother" from Chu Ling'er's mouth? This "mother" should not be Li Yanran who just came back from the Sin Village. So...

Are you sure Chu Ling'er didn't deliberately pass the information to them?

I told them before that there were spies in the Sin Village or the Jingtian Village. Now I told them that the Chu family couldn't find Chu Ling'er's background before, so it turns out that she has a "mother"?

Thinking of this, Chu Ci had to come up with an absurd guess: [Could it be that the emperor deliberately did this for Chu Ling'er to escape? ]

"How about, let's stop the interrogation? Just find a place to lock Chu Ling'er up." Chu Ci suddenly turned to look at Fan Jingrui and asked.

Patriarch Chu: ...

Chu Chengyun: ...

Fan Jingrui knew Chu Ci well enough, "Madam, what have you thought of now?"

Chu Ci did not hide it. He pulled Fan Jingrui over and whispered in his ear for a while, and finally concluded: "The emperor is too narrow-minded. I'm worried that he will find an excuse to deal with our family."

Unexpectedly, Fan Jingrui shook his head and firmly believed in the emperor. "No, no matter how petty the emperor is, he will not joke about the throne under his buttocks."

Chu Ci didn't understand how Fan Jingrui came to such a conclusion, just as Fan Jingrui didn't understand why Chu Ci's ideas were so wild and unconventional.

After a long while, Chu Ci finally said, "Then shall we continue the interrogation?"

Fan Jingrui answered irrelevantly, "Sima Zhang should have a result soon. We can just send the person over there in a few days."

"No." Chu Ling'er came to me on her own initiative. It was such a good opportunity. How could I not study the "Gu" in her body? I would be doing myself no favors. Chu Ci retorted without even thinking about it.

It seemed that Fan Jingrui's previous remarks were just to change the subject. He compromised without even asking Chu Ci the reason: "Okay, I'll listen to you in everything."

Chu Ci was puzzled: "Fan Jingrui, why did your attitude change so quickly?"

Fan Jingrui did not answer, but the head of the Chu family and Chu Chengyun, who were both old and experienced, spoke up to smooth things over. "Aci, just leave this little matter to Xiaowu."

"Yes, yes, yes. Grandpa Chu promises that Xiaowu will dig out everything she knows about what you want."

Chu Ci was indeed not good at interrogation.

Besides, Chu Chengyun's assurance really touched Chu Ci's heart. He just said with reassurance: "No matter what you want to do, you are not allowed to hand over the person before the divine doctor Hua comes back."

Fan Jingrui immediately raised his hand and swore, "I promise."

Chu Ci was satisfied, and comforted Fan Jingrui very carelessly: "My husband, it's not that I don't trust you."

What else can Fan Jingrui do? He can only accept the woman he chose!

--------------------------------------------I am the naughty dividing line-------------------------------------

"Mo Yan, don't stop me. I have something important to tell the young lady." Liu Ping was sweating profusely. He rushed to the backyard without any explanation.

Mo Yan knew what Chu Ci was busy with, so he naturally couldn't let him in. "No, what the young lady is doing right now is more important. You can tell me what's going on, and I will definitely pass it on to the young lady."

Liu Ping continued to rush forward, but still to no avail. Finally, he became anxious and didn't care that he would be suspected. "Mo Yan, did the young lady capture a woman?"

Mo Yan was shocked when he heard this, but he did not admit it. "Liu Ping, what are you talking about?"

Liu Ping seemed not to have heard Mo Yan's denial. "That woman is the Saint of the Holy Mother Church. Many places are saying that the potatoes were brought by the Saint from heaven to save the people of Lianzhou."

Mo Yan was just about to angrily denounce the Virgin Mary Church members for their nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ping's next words directly made him furious. "But our young lady has kidnapped the Saint! She also said that we did this to monopolize the potatoes."

That so-called Saint was indeed in the yard, but she was not kidnapped by their young mistress. Even if Mo Yan was slow to react, he realized that something was wrong.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform the young lady." After Mo Yan said this, he rushed towards the courtyard where Chu Ci was.

When he saw Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui, Mo Yan repeated Liu Ping's words without saying a word.

Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other and asked at the same time: "Where is Liu Ping now?" "Have you ever asked where this news came from?"

Mo Yan replied, "I asked Liu Ping to wait at the second gate. As for the rest, I didn't have time to ask."

Chu Ci cursed Ma Ming in his heart. This guy was really incapable of doing anything but always causing trouble. But he responded without wasting a moment: "Let's go find Liu Ping. Mo Yan, go to the government office and find Ma Ming immediately."

Mo Yan nodded and was about to leave.

Fan Jingrui added, "We will go to the quarantine center again and tell them that we have a batch of herbs that can cure the plague. The condition is that Zhang Yaoyang must come in person."

"I understand." Mo Yan turned to look at Chu Ci when he heard that. Seeing her nod, he responded and turned to run out.

There was no one around, so Fan Jingrui just spoke: "Madam, if, I mean if..."

Chu Ci's expression did not change, "We can talk while we walk."

After she finished speaking, she walked out first. Fan Jingrui nodded and followed Chu Ci's pace.

When Chu Ci saw Fan Jingrui following him, she asked, "My husband, are you planning to present the potatoes to the emperor?"

Fan Jingrui nodded, "This is the fastest way to prove it, and it can also promote potatoes as soon as possible. The sooner potatoes are promoted, the less hungry the people of Da Zhou will be."

Chu Ci heard this and her steps slowed down slightly. "Husband, do you really have no hatred towards that person?"

In the original novel, even though Fan Jingrui's family was destroyed, he still suppressed all his hatred. She thought that Fan Jingrui must have great love in his heart.

As expected, Fan Jingrui looked bitter when he heard Chu Ci's question. "If I answer that I don't blame you, my lady will not believe it, right?"

Chu Ci nodded, but Fan Jingrui continued, "The Holy Mother Church may have colluded with officials outside Lianzhou City. Do you know the consequences, my lady?"

Chu Ci was shocked: "You had expected this day to happen? That's why you told the Fifth Prince about the potato matter?"

"You know about this?" Fan Jingrui thought he had been secretive enough, but he didn't expect Chu Ci to know about it, but he didn't stop him at all.

It was rare to see Fan Jingrui so surprised, Chu Ci smiled proudly: "Of course I know?"

Just as Fan Jingrui was about to ask, Chu Ci said, "However, without seeing the real thing and knowing the specific planting method, will he believe it given his suspicious nature?"

Fan Jingrui also smiled when he heard this, his smile full of doting: "Under normal circumstances it is indeed hard to believe, but my lady, you may have forgotten how many miracles you have created."

However, these words, which were clearly meant as compliments, made Chu Ci feel somewhat hurt.
