Chapter 1067 Ning Chen Returns to Beijing

Li Hanru and his companions were filled with shame.

They were all at the top of the power of Daxuan, but now they were being played like monkeys.

Emperor An said in a deep voice: "They have gone through such a long circle. Their purpose is to rescue Kang Xiao. Now that he has been rescued, they will definitely find a way to return to Nanyue.

Pass on my order and ask Liangzhou and Yangzhou to cooperate in the investigation. Kang Xiao must not be allowed to escape back to Nanyue."

Li Hanru and others leaned over and said in unison: "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

Emperor An continued: "Geng Ziyi, you send a team of reliable people and ask them to track down Yangzhou... All those involved in this matter will be strictly interrogated by the Supervisory Department."

Geng Jing hurriedly accepted the order: "Yes, I obey your order!"

"In addition, pass on my order and ask the city defense army to search closely. The person must be found before Ning Chen returns to Beijing."

After Emperor An finished speaking, he said with a gloomy face: "I will not hold you responsible for the time being, but if you can't find the person, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

Li Zhixing and others were terrified and knelt down to thank you.

The Ministry of Justice actually lost the prisoner...Li Zhixing was ashamed and angry.

.......

Seven or eight days passed in a flash!

Emperor An's body had long recovered under Zi Su's treatment.

But after searching for so long, not even the shadow of Kang Xiao was found.

The people of the World Congress disappeared completely.

The city defense army searched house by house, but Kang Xiao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

On the side of the Supervisory Department, Geng Jing personally interrogated the relevant people.

All the suspects' mouths were pried open, but there was not much useful information.

For example, those who frequently interacted with the left prime minister, Ji Mingchen and other ministers in the court were simply a cover.

They wandered around the prime minister's residence, looking for opportunities to contact people in the prime minister's residence or the Shangshu Mansion, creating the appearance of close contacts, but in fact they were all done for the Supervisory Department to see.

Moreover, these people were abandoned pawns and knew very little.

Zhou Hongfu also interrogated him, but he knew nothing... This person was just good at flattering, and the enemy just took advantage of him.

Recently, Geng Jing and Li Zhixing have had the hardest time.

A purple-robed official from the Supervisory Department was played around by others, and so far, no one can be found.

And Li Zhixing, who was lost in the Ministry of Justice, received dozens of memorials impeaching him every day... In the court, those censors were so weird that Li Zhixing couldn't even raise his head.

Li Zhixing even thought of resigning, but was persuaded by Li Hanru and others.

Resigning when something goes wrong, isn't that a coward?

If the matter is not resolved, even if he resigns, this will be the biggest stain in his official career, and he will be laughed at for the rest of his life.

Li Zhixing promised not to resign for the time being, but there was no news from Kang Xiao, and he was anxious and angry, and a circle of blisters grew on his mouth... He shouted every day that it was shameful. It was the first time that the Ministry of Justice lost a prisoner in hundreds of years since the founding of Daxuan, and it was lost from him, Li Zhixing.

Geng Jing comforted him and said it was okay, the Supervisory Department had also lost people, and the left prime minister disappeared from the Supervisory Department prison so beautifully.

When Li Zhixing heard this, he felt much more comfortable... because the defense of the Supervisory Department was tighter than that of the Ministry of Justice.

.......

A few days later.

The warship docked at the Tianhe Ferry.

Ning Chen took his beloved Diao Chan and got off the boat first.

"Finally back!"

"My little Yueyue..."

Feng Qizheng shouted, successfully getting the cold eyes of Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng.

Ning Chen jumped on the horse, "Go home!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ning Chen led two hundred Ning'an soldiers and headed straight for the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, Ning Chen slowed down.

Pan Yucheng asked in confusion: "What happened? Why are there so many city defense soldiers?"

Ning Chen did not speak, and rode forward.

At the city gate, the city defense soldiers who were checking pedestrians and vehicles had already noticed Ning Chen and others.

The battle flags and armor of the Ning'an Army all showed the identities of Ning Chen and others.

This is the famous Ning'an Army.

Feng Qizheng shouted, "The Regent King is back in Beijing. Quickly move the barricades."

Barricades are roadblocks used to block carriages and horses.

When they heard that it was the King of Zhenguo, the city defense soldiers hurriedly knelt on one knee and said in unison, "Greetings to the King of Zhenguo!"

Ning Chen raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up... Investigate and defend strictly, what happened?"

A city defense general hurriedly said, "Your Highness, a serious criminal has escaped, and we are investigating strictly."

Ning Chen said, "What serious criminal?"

The general hurriedly presented a portrait with both hands, "Your Highness, please look, it's this thief."

Ning Chen took the portrait and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly shrank.

Pan Yucheng and others also came over to look.

Feng Qizheng exclaimed, "Isn't this Kang Xiao's grandson?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly, the person in the portrait was Kang Xiao.

Xiao Yanxi frowned slightly, "Kang Xiao escaped?"

Ning Chen did not speak, returned the portrait to the city defense commander, and then led people into the city.

"Old Pan, go to the Ministry of War to report, leave 50 people, and the rest return to the camp."

Pan Yucheng nodded, "Yes!"

"Xiao Xixi, Old Feng, you go home first... I have to go to the palace to see the emperor first."

Feng Qizhen and Xiao Yanxi nodded.

Ning Chen rode his beloved Diao Chan and rushed to the palace.

The palace, the imperial study.

Emperor An sat behind the dragon table, his pretty face was full of anger, staring coldly at Geng Jing.

Geng Jing's face turned pale and his back was sweating.

Emperor An is no longer the innocent little girl he used to be. Now he is becoming more and more like an emperor.

"Geng Ziyi, my father believes in you, and I believe in you too... But the Supervisory Office is becoming more and more useless. How long has it been? There is no news at all.

Ning Chen asked the Ning An Army to escort Kang Xiao back to the capital and asked him to be secretly detained and strictly guarded, which is enough to show the importance of this person.

Now he is missing, and he was lost in the Ministry of Justice. This is the capital, my capital. After so long, I can't even find a person... If it weren't for the fact that you are all meritorious officials, I would never let you off easily."

Geng Jing lowered his head, his face full of shame, "Your Majesty, calm down. I know my crime. Please punish me severely."

Emperor An said coldly: "I will give you three more days, if there is no news about Kang Xiao in three days, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Geng Jing smiled bitterly in his heart, "Minister, obey the order!"

Just then, a little eunuch walked in with small steps and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I just received news that the Regent has returned to the capital."

Emperor An was stunned for a moment, and then his cold little face became bright and moving, and he asked anxiously: "Ning Chen has returned to the capital? Where is he?"

"I don't know, I only know that the Regent has entered the city half an hour ago."

Emperor An's little face was bright. Ning Chen had the right to ride in the palace. Since he had entered the city, he should be on his way to see her.

Thinking that he would see Ning Chen soon, Emperor An couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"He Ye, is there a problem with my makeup?"

He Ye looked at it, leaned over and smiled and said: "No problem! Your Majesty is naturally beautiful, and you are already a national beauty without makeup. "
