Chapter 145 Investigation (16

Chu Chenning's face was gloomy when he spoke, which frightened Qingzhou prefect Lin Qingzhi. He quickly bowed and responded, "Yes, yes, I will give an explanation to the Sixth Prince."

"Hehe, Fuying should bring others to help Prefect Lin. It will probably take a while to handle such a large mountain like Lingshan."

Fu Ying held the sword in her hand and nodded, "Yes."

Chu Chenning waved his hand, telling Fulin that he didn't have to wipe the dust off his face anymore. He glanced around with his peach blossom eyes and saw a few yamen runners sneaking away. A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, since this has happened, I was punished for this three-month period. For the remaining two months, the entire city of Qingzhou will be under martial law. No one is allowed to leave without my written order."

Lin Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Chu Chenning meant. This meant that she wanted to assist in the investigation. "Yes, I will handle this matter before Your Highness returns."

"Well. It's difficult for me to make a decision on this matter. Fulin will report the matter to the Queen Mother immediately and wait for the instructions from the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister." Chu Chenning nodded slightly.

"Folin understands."

Lin Qingzhi accepted the task assigned by Chu Chenning and made a promise. She did not dare to delay any longer and immediately ordered people to rescue the girls captured in the cave one by one.

By the time Chu Chenning's carriage arrived, it was already dawn.

The dust that was originally raised by the explosion has gradually dissipated, and now the entire mountain range is shrouded in a layer of mist, and there are faint sounds of birds.

Chu Chenning narrowed his peach blossom eyes, staring at the dark cave entrance, and said faintly: "There are so many treasures in the world, but it's a pity that my treasure is still in Shengjing. I will go back to Beijing to marry it."

"Your Highness, go back."

Fulin stepped forward and carefully put the fox fur coat on Chu Chenning, then helped her into the carriage.

The carriage gradually drove away. Chu Chenning propped up his head and dozed off, thinking about what to do next.

In the following days, Chu Chenning claimed that he was frightened by his arrest and refused all officials who wanted to visit him.

The urgent report sent back to Shengjing received the Empress's order within three days, and she sent an official from the royalist faction to make the full decision, and also sent palace servants to Qingzhou to quickly bring back the "frightened" Chu Chenning.

At this time, Chu Chenning was lying on the soft couch in the warm room, closing his eyes and listening to Fulin's report on the situation in Qingzhou in the past few days.

Seeing her open her eyes, Fulin handed her a cup of hot tea at the right time, "Your Highness, the Queen has issued an order that the affairs of Qingzhou will be decided by Lord Xu. I have sent a palace maid to pick you up. Do you want to stay in Qingzhou for a while?"

Hearing this, Chu Chenning frowned slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The Queen Mother originally handed this matter over to me to handle, and now she sent Xu Yi here. I really don't understand."

In fact, that is not the case. Xu Yi, like himself, is also a royalist. If it weren’t for the fact that the Queen Mother was afraid that he would not be able to handle it well?

Never mind, it’s better to go back soon.

"Once Xu Yi arrives and the handover is completed, we will return to Beijing immediately."

Chu Chenning smiled and decided that it would be better for him to continue being a playboy and then get the imperial decree to marry his ideal woman.

"Yes." Fulin nodded.

Xu Yi arrived in Qingzhou ten days later. By then, all the girls trapped in Lingshan had been rescued, and Lin Qingzhi also sent people to count the minerals.

Qingzhou prefect Lin Qingzhi sent someone to tell people that these girls had disappeared one after another in recent years. More and more people came to report the case, but no trace was found.

Unexpectedly, he was rescued by the Sixth Prince by accident.
