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

Chu Ci gritted his teeth and said, "So everything I did before was just a clown in your eyes, right?"

How could Fan Jingrui not hear that Chu Ci was angry, and he quickly shook his head.

But just as he was about to explain, the Fifth Prince, a dog-skin plaster, climbed over the courtyard wall with the help of the secret guards. "At least you let us know who Chu Ling'er's biological mother is."

It turns out that I am just a bait. Chu Ci has a full understanding of his own position.

But she refused to admit defeat: "To make the Fifth Prince come here despite the risk of being infected with the plague, this mother must be someone extraordinary, right?"

The fifth prince immediately gave a sly answer: "The confidante of the eldest princess and her husband, the most famous prostitute in the capital, Master Ming. Do you think she is extraordinary?"

"Famous prostitute? It can't be that simple, right?" Chu Ci didn't quite believe that a prostitute could have such great power. "Cousin, tell the truth--"

The fifth prince wanted to show off, but he ended up getting himself into trouble. "This is all the secret guards have found."

Seeing that Chu Ci still didn't believe him, the Fifth Prince had no choice but to tell him everything he knew: "Now the matter of Li Shishi has been handed over to the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement Officers. However, there are too many men who have had contact with Li Shishi, and each of them is desperate for that woman."

Chu Ci understood that even the emperor had his hands tied sometimes.

Although this matter is not good for me, it feels a little bit good.

Chu Ci rolled his eyes, full of disdain: "Just because of this, Chu Ling'er was released?"

"That's not the case. Chu Ling'er escaped."

As for how she escaped and how she was able to escape to Lianzhou City, thousands of miles away, in such a short time, the Fifth Prince did not say anything. I am afraid he did not know either, after all, the emperor still had to maintain his dignity.

The three of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the second gate where Liu Ping was.

When Liu Ping saw Chu Ci, he immediately said, "Young Madam, you should run away quickly. Many people believed the rumors of the Holy Mother Church and planned to retaliate by tying you up as well."

"What happened after they escaped?" Chu Ci said nothing, so Fan Jingrui stood up and asked sternly, "Did they sell the potatoes to the Holy Mother Church that cheated the people?"

Liu Ping was stunned, and subconsciously retorted: "No, leave it to anyone but the Holy Mother Church. That will only allow them to deceive more people."

"So, I can't leave." Chu Ci said word by word.

"But..." Liu Ping wanted to persuade him again.

But Chu Ci asked first: "Are you trying to say that it will be dangerous if I don't leave?"

Liu Ping nodded desperately.

Chu Ci smiled slightly and explained solemnly: “In fact, the moment my grandpa took out the potatoes, all of us here were in danger.”

Liu Ping didn't understand, and Chu Ci didn't intend to let him understand. He just asked softly: "But just because there is danger, do we have to watch the people of Lianzhou starve to death?"

Liu Ping shook his head instinctively, wanting to say something, but he couldn't finish his words for a long time: "But...but..."

Seeing this, Chu Ci gave Fan Jingrui a disdainful look.

Fan Jingrui immediately attacked, "Don't worry. Just pretend you don't know about this. I came back early this morning because I ran out of potatoes."

Although Liu Ping was not clear about Fan Jingrui's intention, he turned to look at Chu Ci.

Seeing Chu Ci nod, Liu Ping quickly calmed his mind and kept Fan Jingrui's instructions in mind.

Upon seeing this, the Fifth Prince stared at Chu Ci for a long time.

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows at him proudly.

On the other side, Fan Jingrui's instructions were not over yet: "From now on, tell everyone when you go out. Three days later, at the gate of the government office, Mr. Chu Chengyun will personally teach everyone how to grow potatoes."

"Ah, wouldn't that let those scammers from the Holy Mother Church get the upper hand?" Liu Ping hated the Holy Mother Church to the core and really didn't want them to take advantage of him at all.

Seeing him like this, Chu Ci quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, we have our own way to make those scammers see but not touch."

Liu Ping was skeptical about Chu Ci's comfort. But he had no choice. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The police in TV dramas are always the last to appear.

Although Zhang Yaoyang and Zhang Sima are not police officers, they are even more excessive.

Obviously, the symptoms in the isolation center had been under control long ago, but he acted as if he was ready to risk his life only after receiving the news from Mo Yan.

Not only that, when he arrived at the gate, he struck several poses to let no less than dozens of people know that he, the Sima of Lianzhou, had visited Chu Ci, the great man who donated medicinal materials to Lianzhou, as soon as he left the quarantine center.

"As expected of a ruthless man in the ancient officialdom, his mind is really dirty!" Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh after learning the news from the secret guards brought by the fifth prince.

After sighing, Chu Ci pulled Fan Jingrui's sleeve and said, "How about we also practice Thick Black Studies?"

Although Chu Ci spoke in a low voice, the Fifth Prince was close to him! "No need, no need. It's fine like this. It's really fine."

However, the more the Fifth Prince resisted, the more Chu Ci felt it was necessary. "My husband, I will give you the book after the matter in Lianzhou is settled."

Fan Jingrui nodded.

The fifth prince felt that the situation was very bad and always felt that a fierce beast had been released today.

But I also felt that it shouldn't be the case, so I got into a dilemma, extremely conflicted.

Zhang Yaoyang didn't know the fifth prince, but he had heard Ma Ming's general description of the Chu family. Seeing the fifth prince wearing a tight suit and looking tangled, he mistook the fifth prince for a guard of Chu Ci and his wife.

As soon as he came up, he put on a gesture of beneficence and said, "I'm sorry that I'm late. It seems that the two of you have limited guards. How about I dispatch a team of people over here? It can be regarded as a way to repay you for your help during this period of time."

Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other, [Is this person sure he is here to repay a favor, and not to offend anyone? ]

As expected, the Fifth Prince pointed at his nose and asked, "You said that I am the bodyguard of the two of them?"

Zhang Yaoyang didn't say anything, but he was muttering to himself, he was just a guard, but he had such a bad temper.

But the more this happened, the more annoyed the Fifth Prince became. "You are such a jerk. I thought it was a good choice for you to stay in Lianzhou. Now it seems that I was wrong."

When the prince gets angry, his aura is still very intimidating.

Zhang Yaoyang and Ma Ming looked at each other in bewilderment. But Zhang Yaoyang, as the highest-ranking official in Lianzhou, could not bring himself to do so.

Finally, Ma Ming shamelessly asked, "Mrs. Fan, who is this young master?"

"This is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. The Emperor learned that high-yield crops such as potatoes appeared in Lianzhou, so he ordered the Fifth Prince, who was traveling abroad, to come and inspect the situation. He also wanted to investigate the true situation of the plague in Lianzhou."

Following Chu Ci's introduction, Zhang Yaoyang and Ma Ming could no longer remain calm and fell to their knees with a thud.
