But what the Tang family did didn't seem like a show, and he was caught in an unprecedented contradiction.

The guard noticed Yin Tingyan's irritability and whispered, "Master, what the Tang family is doing now is what we have done before. We have searched everywhere we should, but we still haven't found Miss Tang."

"Why not just tell them that you can't find her? I suspect Miss Tang is probably no longer in the capital."

They are very active in searching for people, and if anyone is hiding, they will definitely be found.

But even with such a thorough search, no one has been found after half a month, which only proves that Tang Qiansui is most likely no longer in the capital.

Yin Tingyan understood it in his heart, but he could not accept this possibility.

"Didn't it say on the city gate that Tang Qiansui had never been seen leaving the city?"

This is the main reason why Yin Tingyan still sticks to this point.

No matter how powerful Tang Qiansui is, it is impossible for her to be so omnipresent that she can leave the city gate without being discovered.

Tang Qiansui’s goal is very big. She is the most beautiful woman in the capital and a celebrity in the capital. Who doesn’t know her?

If she walked out of the city gate, she would definitely be recognized.

The guard hesitated and asked, "Could it be that Miss Tang used other methods or disguised herself to leave the capital?"

Yin Tingyan immediately looked over with a vicious look, and the guard quickly shut up.

This hits the sore spot for Yin Tingyan, and it's also the point that Yin Tingyan is unwilling to admit.

How could he not have thought of this possibility? But he didn't want to believe it and refused to think about it any further.

He has a very strange personality. He is so cruel and decisive, but when it comes to some things, he chooses to avoid them.

But this does not mean that Yin Tingyan has not made a decision.

"Didn't we send people out of the city to look for it? And didn't we find it?"

The guard lowered his head and dared not speak.

I don’t know if it’s because they are incompetent or Tang Qiansui is too good at hiding, but it’s as if she has evaporated from the face of the earth and cannot be found.

And there is a worst-case scenario, which is that they dare not say it, but the prince must understand it in his heart.

That means Tang Qiansui is likely to have been killed.

Tang Qiansui has been assassinated many times. Who knows if the assassin will succeed this time?

Then they simply destroyed and dumped the body. How could they find it?

Yin Tingyan suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going, my lord?"

Yin Tingyan ignored him, rode his horse at full speed to the prison, and rushed directly into the cell.

"Liu Pianpian, did you do this?"

Liu Pianpian has been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death in the past half month.

She was taken out by the jailers and beaten every day.

At first I didn't know why, but later I found out it was because Tang Qiansui was missing, and Yin Tingyan took out all his anger on her.

She felt very angry. She was originally happy because Tang Qiansui was missing and might have met with an accident, but after being hit by the stick, she really couldn't be happy anymore.

It hurts so much.

Lying on the cold grass, Liu Pianpian felt like she was about to die. But she didn't want to die.

"Your Highness, I really didn't do anything. I'm locked up here, what else can I do? Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Yin Tingyan remained unmoved. "Even though you've been locked up, you can still manipulate your wet nurse's son to kill Tang Qiansui. You're incredibly capable, what can't you do?"

Yin Tingyan looked at Lord Liu beside him again.

The old man had been beaten up quite a lot these past few days, and he was in a state of depression.

But the old man looked at Yin Tingyan without any fear or compromise.

"Lord Regent, you kill innocent people every day, and now you want to torture us into confessing? Even if you did, what would it matter? Isn't Tang Qiansui still missing?"

Yin Tingyan's expression was gloomy and frightening. "Old man, are you going to admit that it was you who caused Tang Qiansui's disappearance?"

Lord Liu: "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. If the Regent wants to punish us father and daughter, wouldn't that be easy?"

"No matter what crime they accuse us of, we have no chance of resistance, right?"

"But Lord Regent, do you really not care about your reputation? You hold great power, and you are the regent who influences the government and the country. Aren't you afraid of the people being disheartened and the ministers impeaching you by doing this?"

Yin Tingyan narrowed his eyes: "Are you trying to scare me with this?"

Lord Liu: "I'm not threatening you, but your approach won't stand."

"If you have evidence and you punish us, I won't say anything. But if you have no evidence and you keep trying to force a confession out of me, I won't accept it."

"Regent, so many eyes are staring at you. Do you think you can maintain your position as Regent with what you're doing?"

"The ministers don't want a tyrant. I'm afraid the regent will step down soon."

Lord Liu was also determined to go all out. He knew that Yin Tingyan would not let him live, so he just let it go.

If he could make Yin Tingyan unhappy, his life would not be in vain.

Yin Tingyan is not someone who will be easily affected by others, and he doesn't care what others think of him.

"If you have the guts, then let the minister you're talking about overthrow me."

Seeing that Yin Tingyan was unmoved, Lord Liu went straight to his face and attacked.

"The Prince Regent doesn't care about anything else, but he only cares about Tang Qiansui, right? But you can't find Tang Qiansui."

Yin Tingyan's handsome face trembled visibly.

Lord Liu sneered, "Although I don't know what happened to Tang Qiansui, but with the ability of the Regent, he has been searching for her for half a month and still found nothing. According to common sense, Tang Qiansui must be in great danger."

"you shut up!"

Yin Tingyan suddenly disappeared and punched Lord Liu so hard that blood spurted out of his nose.

Lord Liu knew that he had finally hit Yin Tingyan's sore spot and laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha, Prince Regent, are you anxious? But what's the use of being anxious? Tang Qiansui might already be dead."

"How dare you say that!"

Yin Tingyan kicked the man hard, causing him to spit blood.

Liu Pianpian screamed in fear: "Prince Regent, please stop hitting me. My father will be beaten to death if you continue."

Yin Tingyan doesn't care whether this old man lives or dies.

"You and your daughter both deserved death. You repeatedly plotted against Tang Qiansui and assassinated her. Did you really think I didn't know?"

"Liu Pianpian, who do you think you are? I've kept you alive until now just to get the truth about Tang Qiansui's whereabouts from you."

"Since you are so tight-lipped and still can't say anything even at this point, then you can go and die. This king will not keep a useless person."

Liu Pianpian's pupils constricted, and she pleaded desperately: "Prince Regent, you can't do this. Pianpian really doesn't know where Tang Qiansui is. Her disappearance has nothing to do with me."

"I truly adore you. How could you disappoint a woman who loves you with all her heart?"
