Chapter 386: Another Trial
"What we can confirm now is that the assassin was someone who once belonged to the Great Prince of Yin Country. Master Chen San knows that those who once participated in provoking this war and their families have been imprisoned in the Shenxing Division. These people are very stubborn and nothing can be said about them."
"Yesterday we discussed and unanimously decided to send the six people in together today. At the same time, we will send Tiger Chief and Bear Elder in to find out who is behind this. What do you think, gentlemen?"
The next day, the first elder and the second elder came to the courtyard where Meixiang once lived, found Feng Yishuang and Chen San who were having breakfast, and explained their next arrangements for the six people.
"Since it has been confirmed that he is your man, Chen San and I are only responsible for delivering him to you safely. As for how to interrogate and deal with him, it is your own business. We only want the result." Feng Yishuang did not pay much attention to the Great Elder's slightly flattering expression and directly retorted.
He was still angry. Meixiang was so upset that they would feel sorry for her even if she got a broken skin. Why should she suffer so much from them? Others might be concerned about these elders, but Feng Yishuang didn't care!
The two elders were frustrated and had to turn around and look at Chen San eagerly, hoping that he could give them a way out.
Thinking about the tone and attitude of Meixiang and Situ Yidong before leaving, and considering that the young lady is the saint of this tribe after all, and will come here frequently in the future, it is possible that if this place is well managed, it will be a great help to the young lady in the future. Chen San touched his nose and said, "I think the elders understand the status of the young lady in everyone's hearts without me saying much."
"Yes, yes, yes," the Great Elder nodded repeatedly, "Everyone is very angry when something like this happens, and everyone wants to tear out their tendons and skin them alive."
Chen San glanced at him and continued, "You can't blame Master Feng for his bad attitude. He usually treats the young lady like the apple of his eye. Now that something like this has happened, even if the young lady doesn't want to make a fuss, if you don't give an explanation, the other people in the Liu Mansion and the people in the capital will also make a fuss."
After just a few words, the first and second elders were so sweaty that their backs were soaked with sweat, and they nodded their heads like pounding garlic.
"Has the Great Elder ever thought about this? Since the Great Prince and others have already been locked up, whose orders are these murderers following? If they have other accomplices, and this happens again, if Sister Xiang'er is not as lucky as this time, then the consequences..."
"Think about it yourself, can this small tribe afford it?!"
Feng Yishuang's words made the first and second elders completely unable to sit still. The two looked at each other involuntarily. He was right. Since the murderer was the eldest prince's man, where did the order come from? Either it was from the Shenxing Division, or someone else outside. But no matter which of these two assumptions was true, it would be fatal to the tribe.
Not to mention that he failed this time, what if there was a next time... The Great Elder shuddered, his legs went weak and he staggered, taking a step back before he managed to stand firm and not fall to the ground.
The Second Elder, who had always focused on the affairs under his charge, was also frightened. He said with a pale face, "Don't worry, Master Feng and Master Chen San. Even if we don't do anything else in the future, we must thoroughly understand this matter."
"I will never give them a second chance to harm the Saint. I will personally follow the Tiger and Bear clan leaders to investigate this matter! I don't believe in the evil deeds of these bastards."
I saw with my own eyes that the murderous leader was personally carrying two earthen jars and being carried into the gate of Shenxingsi with his five brothers. The second elder and the two clan leaders, Tiger and Bear, also followed in, rolling up their bedding.
The people have arrived, the harsh words have been spoken, and the attitude has been made clear.
Three days later, Feng Yishuang and Chen San mounted their horses and headed back to Haoyue.
At the same time, Mr. Dou, who was in Fuzhou Prefecture, took Old Man Luo, accompanied by Old Man Sun and his son, to conduct a detailed investigation of their herbal medicine planting and sales market.
Witnessed by Feng Yizhen, the two parties agreed on details including purchase varieties, purchase time, delivery location and price.
After dinner that day, everyone gathered together again in Meixiang's room.
Although Meixiang was able to get out of bed and move around during this period, based on the principle that she should never sit when she could lie down and never stand when she could sit, everyone unanimously agreed to treat her room as the main room and discuss any issues directly with her.
"Cousin Yizhen, Brother Chu, please take the time to go to the government office again and explain this matter to the mayor of Fuzhou Prefecture, so that we don't mean well but end up doing something bad and causing him to feel resentful." Meixiang half leaned on the bed, slowly going over in her mind the details of what happened in Fuzhou Prefecture, and reminded Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming.
What he meant was that this trip was for them to go in the name of the prince of Feng Mansion and the prince of Chu Mansion, explain the situation to the city lord and also warn him not to make trouble or make things worse when it comes to Old Man Sun's matter, even if he doesn't want to help.
As the eldest princess of Haoyue, although Fuzhou Prefecture is not her fiefdom, it is Haoyue's territory after all. The people living here are the people of the Haoyue Dynasty. She hopes and has the obligation to help the people here to the best of her ability.
"Sister Xiang'er, don't you want to go meet them?" Thinking of the city lord and the captain looking at them eagerly, Chu Zeming rarely said a word: "They mentioned it to us many times."
"I won't see you this time. It won't be too late to see you again if there is a chance when I come back from the capital next time." Meixiang thought about it and shook her head. It's not that she does good deeds without leaving her name, but she has not really traced her ancestors yet. Now she feels a little awkward meeting officials from various prefectures.
Chu Zeming did not force it. He just mentioned it casually. If the city lord brings up this topic again, he can give an answer. "Brother Feng and I will go there early tomorrow morning to settle things here."
"By the way, Sister Xiang'er, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Well," Meixiang thought for a moment, glanced at Sun Yu and replied, "I plan to go to Fuzhou City for a stroll tomorrow. I didn't make it last time, and it's a rare opportunity, so I'll take a break. It's a good opportunity for me to inspect the cloth market with Young Master Sun and prepare for new styles of ready-to-wear for this winter and next spring."
Feng Yizhen's eyes lit up when he heard that. "What a coincidence! Brother Chu and I will set off early. Then we will meet in the capital city, go shopping together, eat and drink, and enjoy a good time. Haha..."
He turned his head and glanced at Old Man Sun, then continued, "Old Man Sun will be with us tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to pick some souvenirs for the three gentlemen and the other people in Liu's house to take back, so that everyone can enjoy the delicious food!"
"Then I, an old man, would like to thank the young lady and all the gentlemen on behalf of everyone!"
