After a moment of stunned silence, Emperor Xinglong clenched his fists until they crackled, and suddenly he laughed sarcastically.
"Haha! Do these thieves really think that I'm too rich?"
"Not only did they kidnap the sons and daughters of the nobles in the capital, but they were so brazen and wanton that they set off firecrackers? To celebrate?!"
Then his expression became serious and he shouted at Dai Quan angrily,
"Pass on my decree, order the prefect of Shenjing Prefecture to solve the case within three days!"
"Otherwise...hum!"
Emperor Xinglong snorted coldly, and Dai Quan kowtowed in fear.
"The slaves obey the orders!"
After receiving the order, he was about to get up from the ground.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, the emperor, who had originally had a calm expression, suddenly spoke.
Dai Quan knelt down in his place.
Emperor Xinglong looked at the retired emperor and said with his head down,
"Father, these are all your sons and ministers..."
The Emperor waved his hand and then said to Dai Quan,
"Order the Prince of Beijing to cooperate in the investigation and investigate the scene!"
Dai Quan quietly looked up at Emperor Xinglong's expression, and after he nodded imperceptibly, he kowtowed and accepted the order.
"This servant will obey the emperor's order!"
Dai Quan kowtowed, then stood up and walked out carefully.
The conversation between the father and son in the palace was not something he, the chief eunuch, could listen to.
After Dai Quan left,
Emperor Xinglong looked at the retired emperor in confusion and asked,
"Father, I wonder if you've asked Prince Beijing to join the investigation..."
Understanding what Emperor Xinglong was going to ask, the retired emperor shook his head and sighed.
"The Great Qian is in turmoil right now, and I have no intention of doing those things!"
Having his thoughts exposed by the Emperor, Emperor Xinglong smiled awkwardly and then pretended to apologize.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I simply feel that when it comes to handling cases, the government office might be more adept at it..."
The Emperor raised his eyes slowly and glanced at Emperor Xinglong, then smiled faintly and looked forward and said,
"When it comes to handling cases, the government is the best at it, but when it comes to how to get things done, these officials are also the best at it."
"Just wait and see. After Prince Beijing has finished his inspection, he will definitely bring us a surprise!"
After hearing this, Emperor Xinglong didn't say anything more.
……
Prince Beijing's Mansion.
Prince Shui Rong of Beijing frowned and asked the old housekeeper beside him,
"Has our people in the south not sent back any news yet?"
The old butler shook his head solemnly and said,
"No! Maybe it's because of the war, and people may have died."
"Humph!"
Shui Rong snorted coldly and turned to look at the old butler.
"If one person can die, can so many people die in war?"
"If that's true, how did the rebels in Qingfeng Village grow so quickly?"
The old butler immediately lowered his head in fear.
Shui Rong pinched his eyebrows and waved his hands in frustration.
At this moment, Shui Rong's guest Mr. Wuzhai walked into the hall and bowed to Shui Rong.
"Your Majesty!"
Shui Rong opened his eyes and immediately came to his senses. He asked hurriedly,
"Sir, do you have any news?"
Mr. Wuzhai nodded slightly and said,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The princess's family, young and old, have already left Jinling with the people who came with them two days ago. They have already passed Chenzhou and will arrive in Guide Prefecture soon."
"I have already ordered people to wait at Guide Mansion and will escort Master Zhen and his family to the Divine Capital!"
Only then did a smile appear on Shui Rong's face.
"Thanks to you, sir, for your hard work. I am deeply grateful!"
Mr. Wuzhai bowed humbly and said,
"This is my duty, Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
Shui Rong smiled and shook his head, then asked Mr. Wuzhai to sit down.
After he sat down, he dismissed the maids and servants who were waiting on him, then looked at Mr. Wuzhai and asked in a deep voice,
"Sir, in these stormy times, what do you think I should do?"
Mr. Wuzhai pondered for a long time before closing his eyes and shaking his head slightly, sighing,
"Your Majesty is the hereditary prince of Daqian!"
After saying that, he fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong frowned and thought for a long time before nodding helplessly.
"Sir, what you said is timely!"
It's not that he doesn't know some things, but precisely because he knows them clearly, he becomes even more indecisive.
Suddenly, the old housekeeper hurried to the hall to report,
