Chapter 519 Search Them All!
Cen Boqing turned around suddenly, no longer calm: "Fu...Prince, my old servant did nothing wrong, he was just framed. On what charge should he be imprisoned?"
"If there is a suspicion, he will be interrogated." Fu Shanyue said slowly, "This is the normal process. Ask the people of Baisha, who doesn't understand?"
Tian County Magistrate winked, and the official stepped forward.
How could the Cen Mansion let it go? The guards drew their weapons and rushed forward.
Lu Du waved his hands in unison, and hundreds of soldiers also drew their swords.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the situation in front of the Cen Mansion was tense again. The onlookers took two steps back in unison, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire.
Fu Shanyue sat up straight on his horse and said grimly: "Cen Boqing, do you really want to defy the law and ban in front of me?"
As soon as he got angry, the invisible hostility spread in all directions. The small trees on the roadside, the green grass in the cracks, and even the carefully planted flowers on the flowerbed outside the wall of the Cen Mansion, all withered and withered immediately.
Everyone's mounts then moaned and raised their hooves uneasily.
He Lingchuan also comforted the big-horned mountain goat under his mount, secretly thinking that Fu Shanyue's cultivation had improved in such a short time.
The Emperor's sap from Sanxinyuan was indeed not eaten in vain.
In a confrontation like this, it is definitely not Fu Shanyue and the official Chiyan who will suffer. Just look at Fu Shanyue's godly look and it is clear.
On the other hand, Cen Boqing had sweat on his forehead and his eyes were wandering.
He took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Wu Kai is not here."
"Oh?" Fu Shanyue's eyes fixed, "Where did he go?"
"I sent him back to Lingxu City, and he has already gone ahead." Cen Boqing said with a gloomy face, "He should have left the city by now, and you can't catch him."
"You want to escape too, and he can go ahead of you?" Fu Shanyue was surprised, "Why don't I believe it?"
He glanced at He Lingchuan, who shook his head.
Of course, not a word of Cen Boqing's words could be believed.
"Believe it or not." Cen Boqing said calmly, "I can swear to heaven that he is really not here, otherwise I will die from nine thunderbolts."
"You can wear it or not." Fu Shanyue waved his whip. He didn't believe in oaths, he only believed in his own eyes, "Go in and search! General Lu, whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
"Yes!" With the support of the prince, General Lu was very happy. With a wave of his hand, the big-headed soldiers of Chiyan Kingdom rushed into the Cen Mansion with their chests puffed out.
If the guards of the Cen Mansion dared to block them, they would directly greet them with spears, lances, swords and halberds.
These are all people from Lingxu City. Usually, the big-headed soldiers would nod and bow to them and take a detour when they saw them. When have they ever been so proud?
Thinking of this, he stabbed more fiercely.
The guards of the Cen Mansion wanted to resist, but in the end, four or five of them rushed up to challenge one of them. Two fists could not beat ten hands, and they were beaten black and blue in a short while.
Seeing that a bloody conflict was about to break out, and that his side was at a disadvantage, Cen Boqing said with a sullen face: "Stop, let them search!"
The last few words were squeezed out from between his teeth with resentment.
The Cen Mansion was very large, but it could not withstand the 500 soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, running around everywhere.
These big-headed soldiers were also very rude. They would just look for people, and often accidentally knocked over furniture, trampled on flowers and plants, and broke bottles and jars...
The crowd watching outside were amazed when they heard the ping-pong sounds coming from the high walls. Those who were curious climbed up the big tree and stuck their heads in.
When these 500 people finished searching the Cen Mansion in a hurry, many of the gilded tenons were gone, the beautiful ornaments on the rockery were nowhere to be found, and even two roast geese that had not been roasted in the kitchen were lost for no reason.
It seems that two jars of pickled vegetables are missing...
In short, Lu Dutong reported loudly: "Your Highness, we searched every corner of the Cen Mansion and didn't find Wu Kai."
Fu Shanyue nodded, and then said to Cen Boqing: "It seems that Wu Kai really slipped away. Then, Lord Cen, please go back. I will come to you for a drink later."
Cen Boqing shook his sleeves, turned around and strode back to the mansion without even looking at him.
The carriages and horses of the Cen family also drove back to the mansion one after another slowly. The Cen Mansion was still guarded by Lu Dutong, with three layers inside and outside, and no water could be poured in.
The signal conveyed by these actions was almost like the prince pointing at Cen Boqing's nose and cursing "murderer", and no one would make a mistake.
The onlookers were no longer satisfied with pointing and talking. Adults laughed, children made noises, and itinerant vendors selling melon seeds, pancakes and candied haws also came to join in the numbers.
"This is not giving face to the Cen family at all."
"The prince is the prince, he won't tolerate these B things."
"The prince's special envoy is also powerful, he just pulled out the Cen family!"
"It should have been done long ago. They have been showing off their power for many years and no one can control them! I heard that the dog of the Cen family bit someone, and the bitten person had to go to the door to apologize to it... Hey, give me a sesame cake!"
There are also concerns:
"Is this okay? Nothing will happen later, right?"
"It's none of your business if there is something, the prince is here."
Fu Shanyue acted as if no one was around, first ordered Lu Dutong to urgently search for Wu Kai throughout the city, and then patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder:
"Find a place nearby, let's talk."
Immediately, six or seven officials came forward and competed to invite the prince to stay in their own mansions.
"It's inconvenient for people to come and go in your place." Fu Shanyue turned around and pointed to the inn with the largest sign on the street, "I live there."
No one dared to object.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Tongyun Inn was cleared out and became the Prince's accommodation.
From now on, the Prince reserved the entire place and no one was allowed to approach.
Fu Shanyue's guest house was at least twice as large as He Lingchuan's guest room. There were heavy guards inside and outside the inn.
Compared with Fu Shanyue's current style, Zhong Sunmou's original demeanor pales into insignificance.
He Lingchuan had no choice but to pack up and move here. Before checking out, he handed the basin with half of the lotus roots to the shop assistant and asked him to take the basin to Magistrate Tian to collect the reward, saying that Shuiling might still be saved...
Thinking about God's virtues of good health, and He Lingchuan also thanked God for giving Fan Sheng a good meal, so he threw some elixir into the basin. Whether he can survive in the future depends on He Yao's own destiny.
Tiger Jiao Yu walked into Tongyun Inn with He Lingchuan and immediately sat down by the door.
The attendant wanted to serve tea, Fushan Yue waved his hand: "What kind of tea do you want? Bring me some wine."
He grabbed two cups and poured a full cup for He Lingchuan himself: "Here, I'll toast you with this cup..."
"Crack the case?"
"No, I respect you for venting your anger on me." Fu Shanyue smiled and said, "Zhong Sunmou always wants to go against me. Now I will die well and deservedly!"
Is this how "a worthy death" is used? He Lingchuan took a sip of his wine and said, "This place faces the street. Aren't you afraid that word will spread that you are avenging a private vendetta?"
"Otherwise?" Fu Shanyue sneered, "In the past when Fu Shanji was still here, everyone thought he would eventually inherit the throne. Zhongsun Mou and his ilk ignored me in Lingxu City. How could they have imagined that today's disaster would happen? Give them a chance. Teach me a lesson, otherwise these idiots will rely on their family background and not be respectful!"
He Lingchuan frowned: "The messenger case is a mess. Why did Zhong Sunmou protect Cen Boqing?"
"Only he knows the real reason, but I guess it probably has something to do with his great-grandfather." Fu Shanyue stroked his chin and said, "His great-grandfather is over two hundred years old and retired a long time ago. I heard a few years ago that I was seriously ill twice and almost couldn't survive it, but somehow I recovered slowly and am still alive today."
He Lingchuan understood without saying anything: "Do you think his great-grandfather used the elixir?"
"Otherwise, how can we prolong our lives? How can we extend our lives?" The lifespan of the sharks is longer than that of humans. With the elixir, they can extend their lives by another period of more than two hundred years. "This old man has many connections in Lingxu City. He has many contacts with officials. We have many contacts, and he is still the pillar of the Zhongsun family. Is it strange that he got the elixir? "
"I estimate that Cen Boqing used this matter to blackmail Zhongsun Mou and asked him to take Fu Songhua back to take the blame and close the case. Then the truth about Cen Boqing killing monsters to obtain pearls and stealing the elixir has slipped under the water again."
If you can take a treasure like the elixir without receiving the royal gift, you must have used illegal channels.
"The Cen Mansion has already prepared the framed evidence."
"Yes, if you hadn't stepped in, with the stupidity of officials like Chi Yan, their tactics should have gone smoothly." Fu Shanyue raised his glass again, "Here, I respect you."
He Lingchuan was disrespectful: "Before he arrived at Bai Shaqian and met Cen Boqing, Zhongsun Mou intervened in the messenger case. Why is this?"
"Why don't you call this person cheap?" Fu Shanyue sneered, "He must have heard that this case was handed over to me, so he rushed over to rob the case and wanted to show me how to show off. As a result, he was arrested. If you can’t get rid of the cake in your hands, he will regret it to death later.”
Having said this, he drank three glasses in a row.
"The inspector was kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown. I have reported this news to Lingxu City." Fu Shanyue also knew that this kind of thing cannot be delayed. "This matter is serious, Lingxu City will definitely send people down to investigate thoroughly."
"The son-in-law is under investigation. Can't the Chief Secretary of Lingxu City not react at all?"
"He is not a decoration. You were right to come to me." Things have progressed to this point and have exceeded the capabilities of the so-called prince's special envoy. "We must pay close attention in the next few days, arrest what should be arrested, and interrogate what should be interrogated."
"Can't you report it to Lingxu City a few days later to buy some time?"
"No! Cen Boqing has probably sent people to Lingxu City to ask for help. The sooner this matter is reported, the better, otherwise we will be passive." Fushan Yue snorted, "Besides, when will Lingxu City send people down? Easy to say. I guess it won’t be too soon.”
"Why?"
"It will take at least several days to argue and argue over the choice of special envoy?" Fu Shanyue said with a smile, "It will take several days for the special envoy to walk from Lingxu City to Baishaqiang, right?"
Thinking about Fu Shanyue's background, He Lingchuan believed that he understood these thoroughly.
At this point, Fu Shanyue's smile also disappeared: "I just asked a few guards at the lakeside. After Zhongsun Mou was eaten by the snail toad, they also saw Wu Kai accompanying Cen Boqing and leaving. In other words, they saw Wu Kai accompanying Cen Boqing and leaving. , Wu Kai was still there at that time. Less than an hour and a half later, Cen Boqing said that Wu Kai was sent to Lingxu City by him, so he took the first step. "
