The incident in Zhangzhou became more and more serious. The two factions of officials in the court held different opinions and the situation was in an uproar. Finally, the cabinet came up with a charter and sent an imperial envoy to investigate the matter, which temporarily suppressed the matter.
At the same time, Mrs. Chen's case finally made greater progress.
Gao Ping obtained the identity of Bai Qiye from Scarface and Deng Shoucheng, who later surrendered himself, and arrested Bai Qiye, the real mastermind behind the Beijing dog farm and Beijing Juhai Manor.
When the news got out, a lot of people in the government and the country were shocked.
"Which Seventh Master Bai is it?!" Princess Mingchang came to Fenyang Palace to ask about Li Jiamin, but she heard Princess Fenyang asking about Seventh Master Bai, so she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Which Seventh Master Bai is it?"
Princess Fenyang's face was extremely ugly. When she heard Princess Mingchang's question, she was unable to react for a moment. It was only when Princess Mingchang beside her called her sister-in-law that she hurriedly turned her head and smiled randomly: "What else? It's... it's the case that Madam Chen complained about. It was said that the owner of Juhai Manor was actually Mr. Bai Qi. We just heard about it."
Princess Mingchang was equally shocked: "Master Bai Qi, could it be the same Master Bai Qi who caused so much unrest in the sea before? He actually opened a restaurant in the capital!?"
Moreover, it has been open for so many years. Over the years, Juhai Manor has been very popular in the capital, and many dignitaries have entertained guests there. Who would have thought that such a famous restaurant was actually opened by a notorious pirate
Princess Mingchang thought this was outrageous: "Is he crazy? He is so audacious!"
When Master Bai Qi disappeared, there were rumors that he was dead, and there were also rumors that he became the king of the sea on an island in the sea.
Who knew he was actually in the capital
Princess Fenyang was already extremely panicked. She didn't care about pretending to be nice to Princess Mingchang anymore and managed to force a smile: "Who could know? When we heard it today, we all thought we had heard it wrong."
Princess Mingchang shook her head, and thinking of the purpose of her visit, she couldn't help but ask Princess Fenyang: "Is there any news about the matter I asked you to do?"
Princess Fenyang was so upset that she didn't have the energy to care about this matter. However, she still tried to calm down: "I have asked someone to write a letter back to the clan. My father and his people will definitely do their best to find him. If he is in Yanggu, there is no need to be afraid. He will be found sooner or later."
Hearing this, Princess Mingchang heaved a sigh of relief and sincerely thanked Princess Fenyang: "If that's the case, then thank you so much, sister-in-law. When I find that troublesome brat, I will definitely ask him to come over and kowtow to you."
Princess Fenyang no longer knew how she had gotten rid of Princess Mingchang. As soon as Princess Mingchang left, she collapsed on her chair and shouted, "Go and invite Mr. Cui!"
Mr. Cui came in in a hurry, with an expression of disbelief on his face. When he saw Princess Fenyang, he lost his usual strategic planning and just pursed his lips in a trembling voice: "Princess, I'm afraid it's not good."
Princess Fenyang naturally knew that something was wrong. How could she remain unscathed when Master Bai Qi was arrested? !
Princess Fenyang was in a state of confusion. She had no time to care about revenge for Princess Chun'an. She just asked Mr. Cui in panic, "What happened? Why was Mr. Bai Qi suddenly arrested?!"
Even though Madam Chen's case is under investigation, or to put it bluntly, even though Xu Fengqing really gave away Mr. Bai Qi, Mr. Bai Qi has already left the capital!
How could he be caught when he couldn't escape?!
Mr. Cui's face was as ugly as a blank sheet of paper. When he heard Princess Fenyang complain, he was shocked and anxious. He clenched his fists and shook his head: "Princess, we only found out about it today. We really don't know the specific reason. I have asked someone to find Lord Wang."
Ever since Lord Wang came to them on his own initiative, Lord Wang became the middleman between them and Mr. Bai Qiye.
A while ago, Lord Wang hinted to them that something big would happen along the coast, and no one would pay attention to Madam Chen's case at that time, indicating that they could take action against Madam Chen. After Mr. Cui discussed with Princess Fenyang, he specifically went to find people from the dog farm to do the job. Princess Fenyang was unwilling to use the staff of the palace for such a thing, for fear of causing trouble.
But there was no news after that.
They thought that the matter had not been accomplished yet and were still waiting for news, but now they were waiting for the news that Mr. Bai Qi had been arrested.
Princess Fenyang couldn't wait any longer. She was so anxious that she stood up and sat down again. After repeating this several times, she urged Mr. Cui impatiently, "Find someone else to take a look..."
Mr. Cui didn't dare to say anything more at this time, and he really didn't feel like saying more, so he went out without saying a word.
Who would have thought that just after he walked out of the study and before he even left the yard, the chief secretary and the steward of the palace came running in with their robes in hand, saying that the palace was now surrounded and that the Jinyiwei were everywhere, front, back, left and right.
Mr. Cui's face suddenly turned pale.
Princess Fenyang in the room had also heard it. She hurried out in disbelief, glanced at them, and asked, "What did you just say? Whose house was surrounded?"
The three of them looked at Princess Fenyang with pale faces and did not dare to speak.
Princess Fenyang only felt a buzzing sound in her head, as if countless fireworks had exploded, making her whole body confused. After being dazed for a while, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell backwards with her head tilted back.
The steward and the chief clerk were so frightened that they stood there motionless. It was Mr. Cui who reacted first and ran over to shout desperately to Princess Fenyang: "Princess, you can't fall down now, Princess!"
Princess Fenyang could no longer hear what Mr. Cui was saying. She only heard his lips moving constantly. She felt even more dizzy at this moment, so dizzy that she could hardly think. After a while, she finally heard Mr. Cui say the word "child".
child.
Yes, there are Chunan’s two children, her son and grandson. She can’t just give up like this. If she collapses like this, then... these children’s lives will be ruined.
No, it's not just that. There's also the Cui family. If the matter of Bai Qiye is really implicated, how can the Cui family cover up what they did? At that time, the Cui family must be exterminated.
Thinking of Emperor Yuanfeng's hatred for the remnants of the previous dynasty, Princess Fenyang struggled to get up and tightly grasped Mr. Cui's arm with both hands: "Think of a solution quickly! Think of a solution quickly!"
