Chapter 165 Keep up your show!
The more they listened, the more they couldn't believe their ears. They were completely stunned.
"A Jing, how did you know that the new weapon you found was called a 'fire gun'?"
"Yaoyao said that. Yaoyao can also use this 'fire gun'."
"Third sister-in-law, how can you use it?"
"I've seen it in a dream, and a god taught me how to use it," Ouyang Yunyao said jokingly.
"A Jing, there are so many weapons that haven't been transported away yet, should we hurry over and transport them away?"
"You are becoming more and more stupid, will I just leave those weapons behind?"
"What do you mean I'm stupid? There are so many weapons, how can you two take them away? Even if you hide them, it will take time." Han Fengli expressed the same thoughts as Chu Chenye.
"Prince Han, this is a secret. I'll let you see it tonight," said Ouyang Yunyao.
Ouyang Yunyao's words aroused Han Fengli's curiosity even more. He was itching to find out what was going on. Chu Chenye was just like him, wanting to find out what was going on.
They felt very fortunate. If Prince Jing and his princess had not discovered Uncle Nan's secret place, the Western Chu State would have been in chaos in the near future, and the peaceful and tranquil life of the people would have been gone forever, replaced by days of war.
They knew very well that King Guannan was a cruel person. Back in the time of the previous emperor, he once went to conquer a small tribe, but for some unknown reason, he ended up slaughtering all the people in the tribe.
The late emperor was very shocked when he heard this, and immediately banished him to his fiefdom, and ordered that he was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned except during the Spring Festival and the empress dowager's birthday.
None of them had expected that the Guannan King could conceal everything and do so many things, secretly making weapons, using voodoo and sorcery, and even trying to use the people of Southern Xinjiang. They knew that he had hidden many weapons in Guannan Prefecture, which was a big hidden danger.
"Third brother, this matter must be reported to father immediately. I am afraid that after Uncle Nan learns of this, he will..."
"Don't worry, I have just sent a letter to my father. Now we must quickly investigate the situation in Nanjun Prefecture, settle the victims of Nanjun Prefecture, and monitor Guannan Prefecture's every move."
"Well, I feel relieved if you come over, Third Brother. We will all follow your arrangements."
……
Chu Chenye and Han Fengli reported the situation here to Chu Chenjing again.
What Chu Chenjing didn't expect was that there was a secret passage underground in the Nanjun Prefecture, which led to the outside of the city. Needless to say, this must be the passage for these people to communicate with the bandits.
Chu Chenjing said, "It seems that there are big problems with the officials in Nanjun Prefecture. Have you found out anything during the investigation?"
"Ajing, these people are very tight-lipped and didn't say anything useful. Fortunately, the advisor got scared after a few hits and confessed that he saw someone hiding the fourth prince in an underground prison," said Han Fengli.
"Okay, after lunch, I will go meet them. And I will also treat those captured bandit leaders well."
"Okay, Third Brother, you and your sister-in-law go and rest for a while. Prince Han and I will go and interrogate the case first."
"It's okay. Yaoyao go and rest first. I'll go with you guys to avoid any more trouble."
"They are tight-lipped? Aren't you afraid of being beaten? That's easy! Treat them well first, then give them a truth pill. Are you still afraid that they won't tell the truth?" Ouyang Yunyao said.
"Truth Serum Pill? Princess, what is the Truth Serum Pill? Can it make them tell the truth?" Han Fengli asked curiously. He had never heard of such a thing. If there really was such a good thing, then catching spies wouldn't be so troublesome in the future!
"Yes, smart!"
"You still have this good thing? Third sister-in-law, do you deserve it?"
"Yes, today I will let you see how powerful it is," Ouyang Yunyao said, and handed a porcelain bottle to Chu Chenjing, and stood up and said, "You go and interrogate it carefully. I'm going to rest for a while. I have to go to the inn later."
Chu Chenjing quickly stood up and followed Ouyang Yunyao out the door, and turned back to say, "I will send the princess to rest first, you go first, I will be there in a while."
"Ajing, ah, is it still the same Ajing?" Han Fengli curled his lips slightly and shook his head.
……
On the way back to the yard, Chu Chenjing asked, "Yaoyao, are you going to tell them about the Qiankun bag?"
"Can these two be trusted?"
"Both of them, including my fourth brother, are trustworthy!"
"That's fine. I have nothing to be afraid of anyway. They will know it sooner or later. It doesn't hurt to tell them."
Chu Chenjing sent Ouyang Yunyao back to her room to rest, and also asked several secret guards to guard around the house.
……
At the gate of the courtyard, Chu Feng was waiting for Chu Chenjing and led him to the place where the officials were held. These people were held in solitary confinement, with their hands and feet tied.
Chu Chenjing entered the interrogation room and walked to the middle seat they had reserved for him.
At this moment, the county magistrate Zhang Yafu was being interrogated. He could not bear it any longer and confessed to some of his involvement in corruption.
"Okay, next one." Chu Chenjing had already checked that the man was ostensibly the Queen Mother's man, but in fact he was the Emperor's uncle's man. He didn't understand at the time why the Emperor's uncle arranged this man here? Now everything is self-evident, this secret valley is the answer.
The one who was brought up this time was the county governor Zhu Caixiang. He knelt down, looked up and recognized that the person sitting in front of him was Prince Jing. So he shouted, "Prince Jing, Prince Jing, you are finally here! You must take charge of this subordinate! They tortured and forced me!"
"What did they force you to do? Huh?"
"These people are truly lawless. They have no evidence at all and actually... actually assaulted an official appointed by the imperial court without authorization!"
"They, who are they? The Fifth Prince who was sent by the court to provide relief, or the Crown Prince Han who was sent by the court to deliver food, or the Fourth Prince, the court inspector who was locked up in a secret cell by you. You beat him without authorization, this is a serious charge!"
"Prince Jing, I am innocent. I know nothing. Please give me some time and I will investigate this matter thoroughly." As Zhu Caixiang spoke, he secretly cursed Cao Fengchong, the coward, for ruining his good deeds.
"Oh, you actually said you didn't know what happened in your state capital! Wasn't the Fourth Prince captured by bandits at the time? How did he end up in your secret cell? Also, tell me, what's going on with Hu Chenghu living in your villa?"
Zhu Caixiang's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible panic, and then he calmed down. "Ah, there is such a thing? I have been busy with disaster relief these days, and I really don't know! Didn't Minister Hu disappear with the fourth prince?" He didn't know that his villa was also searched, and Hu Chenghu was caught red-handed. That Zhu Wu is not reliable either, and he was found there. If Ouyang Yunyao was also there, she would definitely applaud this man's acting skills, and it would be unreasonable not to give him an Oscar!
