Chapter 380: Lord Bai is very strong when he kidnaps people
At this point, Xiao Ling and Bai Xinan had no choice but to leave.
When turning around, Xiao Ling glanced at Jiang Suining again, "Miss Jiang is really great. This matter will be remembered by this prince!"
Jiang Suining gave a standard decent smile, "Your Highness, please do as you please."
Shen Yanxi did not leave with Pei Zhaozhi and the others, but walked to Jiang Suining's side and watched with her as Xiao Ling and Bai Xinan were taken away.
He held Jiang Suining's hand, "Are you worried?"
Jiang Suining shook his head, "I've already thought of this since I decided to plot against the Third Prince with you."
She didn't want to cause trouble, but if the other party really bullied her again and again, she didn't want to endure it.
The Third Prince regarded her as Shen Yanxi's weak spot, and at the same time he had his eyes on the Jiang family's money. If such a person was not fought back, the other party would only become more and more aggressive in the future.
Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining's profile. Although he quickly looked away when she looked at him, a hint of guilt was still revealed in his eyes.
Jiang Suining smiled helplessly, "Shen Yanxi, you're here again?"
When Shen Yanxi wanted to make this plan from the very beginning, he was reluctant to do so, fearing that something unexpected might happen during the process.
Later, although she left the Third Prince's Mansion safely, Shen Yanxi still felt uncomfortable. It was this guilty look last night. She had already persuaded him, but it happened again today.
Shen Yanxi exhaled slowly and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm fine. I was just thinking about this matter. After all, it was me who caused you trouble, so I can't help but feel a little bothered."
"I may cause you a lot of trouble in the future. If that's the case, then when we meet in the future, we should just spend all our time apologizing to each other."
"That won't do." Shen Yanxi took Jiang Suining's hand, "I still want to be with Ningning..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed the red mark on Jiang Suining's wrist.
"Is this from the ropes?"
"Yes, but it's just a little red, it's no big deal." Jiang Suining said nonchalantly.
However, Shen Yanxi held it tighter. The light was dim last night, and he had to meet Pei Zhaozhi and enter the palace to meet the emperor later, so he didn't have time to check it carefully.
Although the marks on the wrists are not deep, since they are still there, he must have been tied up for a long time.
Shen Yanxi's brows darkened.
Jiang Suining smiled and pulled his hand back. "Okay, it's just a few marks, it's nothing. Instead of focusing on the marks, why don't you tell me if Chu Yisheng has found out anything?"
In addition to inducing Xiao Ling to send people to take action last night, he also took advantage of the chaos to stage a drama for Chu Yishen.
Since we can't get anything out of him, let him think that the people who want to kill him to silence him are because of the things written in blood.
"Chu Yisheng was very frightened last night. He said in panic that he didn't say anything about the blood letter. When he saw the token of the Third Prince's Palace, he was not surprised at the identity of the assassin. Now it should be roughly certain that the blood letter and the incident in the suburbs are indeed related to the Third Prince."
Jiang Suining frowned, remembering what he had asked last night in the Third Prince's Mansion if anyone had raised wolves.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanxi asked.
"fine."
Jiang Suining shook his head. It seemed that the Third Prince’s acting skills were really too good at that time?
"Now that it has been confirmed, it all depends on how Pei Zhaozhi conducts the trial."
"No matter how the interrogation goes, the Third Prince will not be able to deny himself of any involvement. Now you can rest assured and have a good rest." Shen Yanxi said.
"And Jingyue's side."
"I have had someone find Princess Chu's maid and her younger brother, and have temporarily sent them back to the Chu family for custody. I have also asked Yuan Liang to rush over and explain the whole story to Princess Chu."
"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded in relief.
After saying that, Jiang Suining returned to the Jiang family to rest, while Shen Yanxi went to the Dali Temple.
"Tie up?"
Pei Zhaozhi looked at Shen Yanxi in confusion.
"That's unnecessary. Bai Xinan has been locked up in prison. He definitely can't run away. And if he dares to run away, the crime will only be more serious. He shouldn't be that stupid."
"Can't we tie up people in prison?"
"That's not true, it's just..."
"Then tie him up. Remember to tie him up tightly. After all, Lord Bai is very strong when he ties people up." Shen Yanxi said in a sad voice.
Pei Zhaozhi looked at him and suddenly understood that he was venting his anger on Jiang Suining.
"When I went to the Jiang family just now, I saw that Miss Jiang was safe and sound. There should be nothing wrong. Why don't you just..."
"What do you mean nothing happened?" Shen Yanxi interrupted Pei Zhaozhi directly, "She is not Mr. Pei's fiancée, so Mr. Pei will not feel bad about it."
Pei Zhaozhi: “…”
"It wasn't me who ordered Miss Jiang to be kidnapped, so don't take your anger out on me again."
Before, Shen Yanxi had not been able to persuade Miss Jiang, so he could only carry out this plan. He had only praised the plan at that time, but Shen Yanxi had already taken her anger out on him.
Shen Yanxi just kept a sullen face and said nothing. Seeing this, Pei Zhaozhi had no choice but to call the yamen runners and order them to tie up Bai Xinan.
"Master Shen, is this all right now?"
"Don't let him go in the next two days except for interrogation."
"Okay, as you said, can we start talking about the case now?"
Seeing Shen Yanxi nod, Pei Zhaozhi became serious and spoke.
"The evidence is solid on the part of the Minister of Works, so he will definitely not be able to escape, but I am a little worried about the Third Prince. Although I have evidence that he shielded the Minister of Works and sent people to silence him, he is a prince after all. I am worried that after the investigation of this case, the Emperor will still give him a lighter sentence."
Although it is said that the Third Prince is not very loved by the Emperor, no matter how unfavored he is, he is still of royal blood after all, a prince with his own household. Even if it is for the sake of the royal family's reputation, the Emperor may not necessarily make a big deal out of a small matter.
"It's just that the current charges are indeed difficult for the emperor to make up his mind to prosecute the third prince. But what if we add another charge of forming a clique and colluding with the eunuchs around the emperor?"
Pei Zhao was stunned. "Is there any solid evidence?"
Shen Yanxi nodded, "Of course, a minister of industry may not be enough to completely arouse the emperor's anger, but colluding with the eunuchs and reaching out to the emperor is a different matter."
"Things like this should be very secretive and difficult to find out. How long have you been looking for it?"
"Since the Third Prince used Guangyun Tower to plot against Sui Ning in the matter of the west city, we started investigating."
After finding Pei Zhaozhi and deciding to cooperate with him, he began to pay close attention to the actions of the Third Prince. During this period, he took advantage of the opportunity to frequently enter the palace to thoroughly determine who the Third Prince was colluding with and bribed.
As a prince, it is not uncommon for him to have some spies in the palace, but the person bribed by the third prince is the emperor's close attendant, which is tantamount to monitoring the emperor!
