After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

After the list was handed over, the matter naturally had to be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation. The Miao people could not find out who bought the Gu, but it would be much easier for the imperial court to investigate.

What remains is how to deal with the Miao Gu Master.

To be honest, this is hard to measure. Those poisonous insects make people feel scared when they hear about them, but it was Nanny Fang who harmed the prince, not the Miao people.

In short, the Miao people did not participate in court struggles.

But the emperor and his court officials were somewhat reluctant to let the man go so easily.

On the one hand, he was angry because of the prince's matter. On the other hand, he had never come into contact with poisonous insects before and didn't know that they were so dangerous. Now that he knew, it would be unacceptable if he did nothing about it.

The emperor did not make a decision on the spot, but ordered people to arrange the saint girl and the three elders in the official inn first.

As for the Gu Master they brought who violated the clan rules, he has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice.

The saint breathed a sigh of relief. At least the emperor did not immediately start shouting at them to fight and kill them, which meant that there was still room for easing the situation.

After she took the lead in paying her respects, she was led out of the hall and out of the palace by the eunuchs.

The emperor's gaze then fell on Marquis of Xi'nan, Prince Ning and others.

A young eunuch hurriedly reported that Prince Ning wanted to see him.

The emperor let him in.

Prince Ning walked into the Taiji Hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. After paying his respects to the emperor, he couldn't help but look at his son.

Prince Ning was lying on a stretcher, seriously injured and unable to move, but he looked at his father with admiration.

"Marquis of Xi'an, you are so bold! Not only do you raise private soldiers, but you also send people to assassinate my son?"

Prince Ning's eyes almost popped out as he questioned fiercely.

The Marquis of Xi'nan shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, I was not the one who assassinated the Crown Prince."

"You little rat, do you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it?"

If they hadn't been in the Taiji Hall, Prince Ning would have almost strangled him to death.

He was the legitimate son whom he had painstakingly raised. Although he was usually strict with him, it was because he valued and loved him.

As a result, he suffered such a serious injury after a trip to the bitter cold southwest.

Fang Yin cleared his throat and took two steps forward: "Ahem, Prince Ning, the injuries to the Crown Prince and the others really weren't caused by the Marquis of Southwest."

It should be said that after the Marquis of Xi'an received the tip-off from the third princess, he had been searching for the whereabouts of Prince Ning in the country.

He had just found the person and was about to do something, but Prince Ning and the others got into trouble themselves.

"What does General Fang mean?" Prince Ning said with a cold face.

But Fang Yin was not afraid of him. His eyes fell on Chen Haokun who was also lying there, and he curled the corners of his lips.

"Why don't we let Mr. Chen, the person involved, speak?"

"Chen Haokun once wrote a secret letter to frame my son. He is a follower of the Marquis of Southwest. How can we trust his words?" Prince Ning was displeased.

"Prince Ning, please don't be impatient. Why don't you listen to what Master Chen has to say?"

Fang Yin remained unmoved.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Chen Haokun.

Chen Haokun weakly propped himself up a little and first glanced at Prince Ning, who made fists with his hands, his fingers turning white, but said nothing.

"After entering the southwest, the prince and I began to inquire about the Marquis of Southwest's daily activities. We learned that he holds three to six grand banquets a month. At each banquet, the gentry and wealthy in the southwest must attend and send precious gifts. Even the local people have to chip in money from every mile to send gifts."

Yue Zhongchi and others were a little upset. This Marquis of Southwest was really lawless.

The emperor snorted even more coldly. He was the richest man in the world, and he usually held his birthday once a year in a low-key manner. He would only hold a grand celebration when it was a full year or for some other purpose.

But the Marquis of Southwest is different. He treats his southwest as his back garden and does whatever he wants.

"The Crown Prince and I have discussed a simple disguise to enter the banquet, hoping to see how the Marquis of Xi'nan is corrupt."

"But when we entered the banquet, we saw boxes of treasures being carried to the Marquis's mansion, and guests were coming in an endless stream, but the Marquis of Southwest never showed up."

"At that time, a wealthy businessman gave me two beauties, twins."

Everyone's ears pricked up. Was there really such a thing as a romantic affair? They loved to hear it.

"Two beauties came to us for help, saying they were abducted and wanted to return home. The prince, with his chivalrous heart, rescued them."

Chivalrous heart?

Everyone was a little skeptical.

"But we can't stay at the banquet anymore, so we leave in a hurry."

In other words, in order to save the two women, his identity was exposed.

"We returned to the inn, and the prince gave the two beauties some silver and let them go home on their own. They thanked him profusely and left."

"But that night, an assassin showed up. We thought our identities were exposed. The Marquis of Southwest was incredibly daring, so after a fierce fight, we were able to escape."

"I happened to escape all the way to the village where the two sisters lived and stayed with them temporarily."

"The two girls also had a miserable life. Both their parents died, and they were raised by their relatives. However, as they grew up, they were very beautiful, which attracted many people's attention."

"Among them, there was a minor official in the Southwest Military Camp who, relying on his power, forced a marriage between the elder sister and him, despite the sisters' objections."

"During the time he was hiding in the village, the prince and the two girls got along very well..."

This is a wonderful use of the concept of getting along well.

"The prince believes that the two girls saved our lives and should repay them. The two girls want to marry him, and the prince seems to have promised to take them back to the capital."

Chen Haokun's voice became smaller and smaller.

No matter how tactful his words were, everyone could tell that Prince Ning had gotten into trouble for his romantic affairs before he even did any serious work outside.

Tsk tsk tsk, people like them often encounter this kind of thing, but Chen Hao Kun talked about these love stories in detail in the hall, which must be different.

"But the next day, the deputy general of the army came to pick up the bride... The prince led his men to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy. We had superior manpower and were at an advantage."

"At the critical moment, those two girls suddenly turned against us and attacked the prince and me. We were seriously injured. If we don't get timely treatment, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger. The guards had no choice but to evacuate us first..."

Chen Haokun also seemed to find it difficult to speak.

In the following time, they hid from place to place and sought medical treatment.

The doctors in the southwest did not have the ability of the imperial physicians. They consulted many other doctors before they could barely save their lives.

"Then, we received news that General Fang had taken over Southwest, and the Marquis of Southwest had surrendered."

The court officials were speechless.

The prince was much more direct: "Prince Ning really raised a good son."

Prince Ning was furious. Before leaving, he gave his son many warnings and instructions, but his son just wasn't up to the standard.

As the prince of a royal family, is he really short of women? Why does he have to do these shady things while on official business?

Fang Yin smiled and said, "Master Chen, you haven't finished speaking yet, have you?"

besides?

Fang Yindu has made the Marquis of Southwest surrender, so how could Prince Ning and his men possibly face any danger?

Chen Haokun bit his lip and finally told the truth.

"This minister and several colleagues would like to reunite with General Fang and return to the capital together."
