Chapter 176 No Clue

Ning Chen and Geng Jing rode back to the Supervisory Department.

The entire Supervisory Department had been sealed off.

Pan Yucheng came and said, "Geng Ziyi, I have led people to search roughly. It seems that the Left Prime Minister is no longer in the Supervisory Department... What should we do next?"

Geng Jing looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Sir Geng, the Left Prime Minister is no longer in the Supervisory Department. It's useless for us to gather here... You take people to find Commander Nie and search the whole city."

"Old Pan, go and gather all the people who were on duty last night. I will ask them later."

Geng Jing and Pan Yucheng nodded.

After the two left, Ning Chen went to the dungeon again, to the cell where the Left Prime Minister was imprisoned.

He looked around.

Wondering how the person escaped?

Ning Chen even pushed aside the hay on the ground and checked the ground to make sure there was no secret passage or anything like that.

Strange?

How did they get a person of similar size in and get the Left Prime Minister out under the eyes of so many guards?

Did they bribe the guards of the entire prison?

Impossible, the incident happened yesterday, and there was no time to bribe all the guards.

Ning Chen was at a loss.

His eyes fell on the cell opposite, where Ning Ziming was imprisoned.

Ning Chen was about to ask Ning Ziming if he had seen anything? Or heard anything?

But just as he was leaving the prison, his steps stopped.

His eyes fell on the dung bucket in the corner.

He immediately thought of the dung cart.

But it was still wrong. The dung cart could not enter the dungeon. It was impossible to stuff people into this small dung bucket and carry them in and out, right?

Zuo Xiang was as big as a pig, and this dung bucket could not even fit one of his legs.

Ning Chen shook his head and went to the cell opposite.

After asking Ning Ziming, nothing was found.

Ning Chen came outside.

Pan Yucheng had gathered the people who were on duty last night.

Ning Chen called everyone into the room and asked them one by one.

But still nothing was found.

Everyone was doing their job last night, and nothing strange happened.

Pan Yucheng frowned, "It's really a ghost, a living person just disappeared out of thin air?"

"How did he escape?"

Ning Chen frowned, he couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

Ning Chen called in the red-clothed man who was drinking last night.

"How many of you were on duty last night?"

The red-clothed man said tremblingly: "To answer Ning Yinyi, there are twelve of us in total, responsible for guarding the death row."

After saying this, the red-clothed man knelt down and begged with tears and snot:

"Ning Yinyi, really don't care about my business, I just got a child, please forgive me, forgive me!"

He drank on duty, and now the repeat offender is missing, he can't escape the blame!

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Who brought the wine last night?"

"I brought it myself."

"How much did you drink? Did you get drunk?"

Hongyi said in a trembling voice: "I only brought a jar of wine, and the twelve of us shared it. I can't hold my liquor, and I drank a few glasses and it was too much, so I didn't dare to drink anymore."

"Did you hide and sleep in the middle of the journey?"

"No, no... Although I felt a little dizzy, I never left my post."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "What about others? Did anyone hide and sleep in the middle of the journey?"

Hongyi said hurriedly: "No!"

"From last night until I found out that Zuo Xiang was missing, did anything strange happen during this period?"

Hongyi thought for a while and said in a trembling voice: "As usual, nothing happened."

Ning Chen's eyes were sharp, "Think it over first... Otherwise, no one can save you. If you commit a serious crime and get lost, you know how big a sin it is?"

Hongyi was so scared that his face turned pale, "Your subordinate...Every word you say is true, please understand Ning Yinyi!"

Suddenly, his expression froze slightly, as if he thought of something?

Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Did you think of something?"

Hongyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Last night, a eunuch came to visit the left prime minister. He said that he was ordered by His Majesty to ask the left prime minister something."

Ning Chen's eyes shrank, "What does that eunuch look like? What did he say to the left prime minister?"

Hongyi hurriedly said, "The eunuch is about thirty years old. I don't remember his appearance very clearly. I only remember that he has a black mole under his earlobe."

"The eunuch was asked by the emperor. I dare not get close. I don't know what he said to the left prime minister?"

Ning Chen's eyes flickered.

What does His Majesty want to ask? He won't send a random eunuch. Even if he wants to ask, he will send all the eunuchs.

"I ask you, is that eunuch fat or thin?"

Hongyi hurriedly said, "He is very thin, thinner than you, Ning Yinyi."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, and he felt like he was being scolded as a thin dog.

Pan Yucheng said, "Do you suspect that the eunuch used himself to replace the left prime minister?"

Ning Chen nodded.

"I checked the body, it's not a eunuch."

Ning Chen sighed in disappointment.

"How long did the eunuch stay? Did he leave alone?"

Hongyi hurriedly said: "He stayed for about an incense stick of time, and then left alone."

Ning Chen frowned, and couldn't help but said angrily: "It's really fucking hell."

"Old Pan, go check the origin of the body."

Pan Yucheng said: "I have sent someone to check."

Ning Chen rubbed his eyebrows, he had no clue at all, now he could only pray that the left prime minister had not left the city and could be found by Nie Liang and Geng Jing.

Ning Chen walked out of the room irritably. The cold wind outside made him sober up a little.

Now that the person has escaped, there is no point in worrying about how to escape... The most important thing now is to find the left prime minister.

If the Left Prime Minister had not escaped from the city, where would he be hiding?

The left prime minister was put on death row yesterday afternoon and disappeared today.

Who is so capable?

The disappearance of the left prime minister must have something to do with the father-in-law who visited the prison.

That means it was someone from the palace who rescued the left prime minister.

Queen?

Probably not. The queen is not that stupid. She still uses her father-in-law to save people. Isn't this a werewolf self-destruction?

Maybe she sent her father-in-law to show up on purpose just to make herself think this way.

Ning Chen frowned.

He suddenly thought of another person...the prince.

Ning Ziming said that the left prime minister had contact with the prince, but this matter has not been confirmed yet.

The prince has a kind and honest character, and Ning Chen doesn't want to believe that he is a bad person.

Of course, this does not rule out that the prince's acting skills are good and his character set up is good.

What if he is really a prince? If he goes to visit now, will he alert others?

No matter the queen or the prince, they cannot investigate blatantly... Once the other party finds out, they will definitely kill and silence them.

Ning Chen suddenly thought of someone...the Ninth Princess.

He could get words out of this little bastard.

Ning Chen said hello to Pan Yucheng and left the Supervision Department on Diao Chan.

...

Luohuang Palace.

The Ninth Princess wore a red dress and simple jewelry on her head, looking bright and youthful.

The Ninth Princess seems to have a special liking for red.

She was building a snowman with a few maids, her little face and hands were red from the cold.

"Be careful, don't fall..."

She was working with several maids, carrying a snowball, which was the snowman's head.

Put the head on the snowman.

The Ninth Princess put her hands on her hips and proudly admired her masterpiece.

But before he was happy for a few seconds, the snowman's head fell off and shattered into pieces.

The Ninth Princess’ expression froze!

"Ah ah... I'm so angry, I'm so angry..."

The Ninth Princess jumped on the spot angrily.

Before the maids had time to comfort her, Princess Ninth figured it out herself, "It doesn't matter, we are making one."

At this moment, a maid hurriedly came over.

"Princess, Ning Yinyi wants to see you!"

"who?"

"Ning Yinyi."

The Ninth Princess rubbed her hands, took a breath of heat, and said excitedly: "Invite him in quickly. Is this princess bored? He captured the King of Beiting alive. There must be many interesting things."

"yes!"

The maid retreated, and after a while, she walked in with Ning Chen.

"Meet Princess!"

The Ninth Princess looked at Ning Chen, "I heard that you went to the Royal Court of Beidu? You even captured King Zuo Ting alive."

Ning Chen nodded: "Yes!"

"I didn't expect you to be quite powerful!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's just good luck."

"Don't be modest. Father said you are very powerful, so you must be very powerful."

"Ning Chen, tell me quickly, what interesting things happened to you along the way?"

Ning Chen nodded, "There are a lot of interesting things along the way!"

"Then tell me quickly."

The Ninth Princess looked forward to it.

Ning Chen was about to speak when the Ninth Princess suddenly asked: "Ning Chen, can you make a snowman?"

"Uh...yes!"

"Great! How about you tell me a story while building a snowman?"

Ning Chen: "???"

Damn it... You have to use your hands as well as your mouth. None of the donkeys in the production team can do that... Ning Chen complained in his heart.

But the princess has a destiny and must obey it.

He began to make a snowman while talking nonsense.

When he heard that Ning Chen led a thousand men, they attacked thousands of miles, eating snow and grass roots to satisfy their hunger. In the end, the soldiers were too hungry to hold the sword. Ning Chen fought alone against the 10,000 troops of the Northern Capital Royal Court, and killed him until rivers of blood flowed. All cut with curling blades.

The Ninth Princess and several maids exclaimed in surprise, with faces full of admiration and stars in their eyes.

"Then... what then?"

Ning Chen glanced at the Ninth Princess and felt a sudden change in his heart when he saw the look in her eyes.

Grass! ! !

So sloppy!

Girls at this age admire heroes the most.

Just now, he just wanted to have a moment of pleasure, transformed into a forced king, and made nonsense, which made the Ninth Princess look at him wrongly.

Damn it, he's here to do business, not to flirt with girls.

Please, please don't fall in love with me... Ning Chen prayed in his heart.

Emperor Xuan had tried to persuade her several times, openly or secretly, but he really didn't want to marry the princess.

"In the end, all the soldiers recovered their strength and joined me in heroically killing the enemy and capturing the King of Beiting alive."

The Ninth Princess was full of admiration and her eyes were shining, "Ning Chen, you are so amazing!"

Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Princess, you are ridiculous. I am not great, not at all."

As he spoke, he placed the snowman's head on.

"Princess, it's ready!"

Ninth Princess ran over with her hands behind her back and her skirt flying.

As a result, his feet slipped and he fell forward, screaming in fear.

Ning Chen heard the sound and turned around subconsciously, but the Ninth Princess threw herself into his arms.

Ninth Princess' body was stiff and her face was flushed. Ning Chen's hand was still holding her waist, and the two of them were very close... This was the first time that he had been in such close contact with a man, which made her nervous. Tiny beads of sweat, don’t know what to do?

Several maids opened their mouths.

He Ye hurried over, "Princess, are you okay?"

Ning Chen helped the Ninth Princess stand up, stepped back a few steps, and said:

"The ground is slippery, Princess, be careful!"

The Ninth Princess secretly peeked at Ning Chen, and when she saw that Ning Chen looked calm, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ning Chen was not calm at all, he was complaining... The Ninth Princess's was really small, if Yudie bumped into his arms like this, there must be a distance between the two of them.

Ning Chen changed the subject and said, "Princess, I came to you because I want to ask you for help."

The Ninth Princess blinked her clear eyes a few times and asked shyly, "What help?"

"This morning I had an urgent matter to go to the palace to see the emperor, but I accidentally knocked down a eunuch on the road..."

"Ah? Are you okay? Which dog slave is so blind?"

Ning Chen: "???"

"Princess, I accidentally knocked him down, and it was quite serious, but I was in a hurry at the time and didn't have time to take care of him... I feel bad when I think about it when I go back. I want to apologize to him in person."

The Ninth Princess said, "Then do you know which eunuch it was?"

"I don't know! I only remember that there is a black mole under his earlobe... I would like to trouble you to keep an eye out for me. If you find someone, please notify me in time."

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Since you helped me build a snowman and told me stories, I will definitely help you find the person."
