Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

The full moon was perched under the mist. The two people in the courtyard were hidden under the layers of osmanthus branches. They smiled at each other and said the same answer in unison:

“Divide and conquer.”

Yes, divide and conquer.

When Jing Zhichen was in the Ming Dynasty, he used the salt transport case to tie down Zhang Zishi, keeping him busy clearing himself and leaving him no time to take care of other things.

At that time, Xu Xingyin would use Tong as a breakthrough point and appropriately reveal traces of secretly investigating the case of the Zhennan General's Mansion. Then, when people slightly associate it with the identity of Xu Xingyin's granddaughter of the Zhennan General's Mansion, naturally some people would feel guilty.

Zhang Zishi had no time to take care of this matter, so Tong had to do it alone.

Tong is a little clever, but her ability to handle things is not as good as Zhang Zishi's. As long as Xu Xing puts some effort into it, it should not be difficult to find evidence from Tong.

After the two reached a consensus, Jing Zhichen looked at Xu Xingyin steadily, thought for a moment, and then gave a few instructions as if casually.

"Be careful. I will hold Zhang Zishi back so that he won't have time to deal with the affairs of the harem. But Zhang Zishi is not someone you can easily deal with. I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time to help you. If you need anything, you can send someone to pass on a message to me."

Xu Xingyin responded with a sweet smile:

"Your Highness, don't worry."

……

Cui Detao and his group hurried and finally arrived at Ge Township the next night.

After a quick night's rest, the large army was ready to head to Jiangning the next day.

At the same time, Crown Prince Jing Zhichen accidentally discovered a wealthy businessman who was confining women and bribing court officials while passing through Ge Township. He then quickly arrested a number of suspects related to the case with lightning speed, and the women in Liu Yongfeng's villa were finally rescued.

Jing Zhichen sent people to keep records of all the rescued women. Except for a few girls who were willing to stay and testify, the rest were all escorted home by the Black Tiger Cavalry.

The Yangzhou prefect Dong Hongbin injured the Crown Prince during the resistance and was dismissed and investigated.

A series of news came so fast that people had no time to react, and the news of the punishment had already reached the ears of the officials in Jiangning.

When all the officials in Jiangning were feeling threatened, Jing Zhichen's procession of the crown prince had quietly appeared outside the city of Jiangning.

Because they were traveling incognito, Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin's clothes were similar to those of the young masters and ladies of wealthy families.

Now that the ceremonial procession is in front of us, it is natural for us to wear attire appropriate to our status.

Her hair was tied up high, with a phoenix hairpin as a background, and a gold and jade pendant around her waist. In addition, she was wearing a bright red palace dress with a broken lotus branch, which made Xu Xingyin look even more graceful and elegant. Her beautiful eyes were so charming that people dared not look directly at her.

This was the first time Chun Xiang saw Xu Xingyin in palace dress, and it was also the first time she realized it deeply.

Xu Xingyin was no longer the Xiao Cui who had lived with her in the same servant's room in the past, but the Crown Princess of Dayan, the legitimate wife of the crown prince who was high above her.

The palace dress was so beautiful that the heaven and earth were overshadowed by it. It was dignified and elegant. Chunxiang was at a loss for words to praise her, so he said "beautiful" three times in a row, which made Danfeng and the others laugh.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the Jiangning city gate, officials from the south of the Yangtze River came to greet it, shouting "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess" and kneeling on the ground.

Jing Zhichen lifted the curtain of the carriage, sat upright and exchanged a few polite words with the Jiangning official. His words seemed to be concerned, but they also contained a hint of warning, which made everyone break out in cold sweats.

Fortunately, Jing Zhichen didn't say much, just stopped at the point and said a few polite words to ease the atmosphere. Then the prince's ceremonial procession entered Jiangning City in a grand manner.

Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin's carriages went separately. Jing Zhichen's carriage was guarded by the Black Tiger Cavalry and accompanied by his staff, and they went to the provincial capital in a light and simple manner.

Xu Xingyin's carriage was protected by a large army and entered the Jiangning official post station with great fanfare.

Before the carriage arrived at the posthouse, the noble ladies of Jiangning were already waiting at the door of the posthouse.

As soon as the carriage stopped, they all knelt down and bowed: "Your Highness, I respectfully welcome the Crown Princess."

Xu Xingyin glanced through the gap in the car curtain at the people kneeling on the ground. They were all familiar faces.

The two ladies kneeling in front are Madam Zhang Tong and Madam Lu Liu.

One of them is the legal wife of the Jiangnan Governor, and the other is the principal wife of the Jiangning Prefect. According to their status, they should be in front.

Lu Liu is Lu Xu's stepmother. Because of Lu Xu, Xu Xingyin has never liked Lu Liu.

Zhang Tong, on the other hand, was very good at socializing. Xu Xingyin had met her a few times before and they could have a pleasant chat.

After slightly adjusting her palace dress, Xu Xingyin helped Danfeng get off the carriage and said with a smile:

"Ladies, please don't be polite."

After saying this, he winked at Danfeng, signaling her to help Lu Liushi.

Dan Feng was still a little slow to react, but Mei Hanxuan, who was serving beside him, was more clever. She took two steps forward and helped Lu Liu up.

The etiquette for a Crown Princess is to have four personal maids, but when Xu Xingyin married into the palace, she only brought Dangui and Danfeng with her, and this time only Danfeng was accompanying her.

Since the ceremonial procession has been set up, all these etiquettes must be complete.

Jing Zhichen's original intention was to let Xu Xingyin select a few low-ranking maids from the entourage to serve as temporary replacements, but Xu Xingyin directly asked Mei Hanxuan and Mei Hanrui for their opinions and asked them to serve him temporarily.

After getting Xu Xingyin's approval, the ladies all stood up. Some of them, who were not very close to Zhang Tong, gave him a sarcastic smile.

The Zhang family was a second-rank family, while Magistrate Lu was only a fourth-rank official.

According to their ranks, it would be inappropriate for the Crown Princess to support Lu Liu instead of Zhang Tong. This was clearly a lack of respect for Zhang Tong!

Mrs. Lu Liu was also a little flattered. Her relationship with Xu Xingyin had never been friendly. Before coming here, she was worried that Xu Xingyin would embarrass her. Unexpectedly, he did not embarrass her. She was somewhat surprised for a moment.

Zhang Tong pretended not to know the malicious looks. She stood up and followed Xu Xingyin into the inn, talking to Xu Xingyin as she walked.

"Your Highness, you have traveled a long way and must have been very tired. I have specially prepared a small banquet from Jiangnan. You can enjoy it as soon as you have rested."

"Mrs. Zhang is thoughtful."

Xu Xingyin walked on his way without looking around, not even a glance at Zhang Tongshi.

"It's a pity that I'm tired. I'm afraid I don't have much appetite to enjoy the feast prepared by Madam Zhang."

Zhang Tong's face froze when she heard this, but then she smiled.

"It is my fault for not thinking it through. Your Highness, please take a good rest. If you need anything, just send someone to let me know. I will do my best to help you."

"Then I would like to thank Madam Zhang."

After saying the polite words, Xu Xingyin said in a low voice, half distressed and half complaining.

"Your Highness is very busy with official duties, and I don't know how many days you can stay in Jiangnan. Although Jiangnan's hundred scenes are charming, the ceremonial procession is heavy, and too many people will definitely disturb the people, which is very inappropriate. If the ladies are free, why not come to the posthouse to chat with me for a while."
