The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 176 - 91 Trip to Yuzhou (12) Xiao Jinxing Falls Ill
Chapter 176: Chapter 91 Trip to Yuzhou (12) Xiao Jinxing Falls Ill
Inside the hall.
The urgent voice of the officials made Pang Nan’s body tremble slightly.
At that moment, he was already planning how to desperately protect Prince Chen and Princess.
Thus.
Chen Hezhi hastily asked, "Who is there?!"
The voice carried a trace of excitement.
Confirming that they had found Prince Chen.
Indeed, even if he wasn’t in Yuzhou, Prince Chu had far-sighted vision!
Before this, he had been continuously searching outside Hezhou City for Prince Chen, and never once did he consider that Prince Chen might have already entered the city. After all, the city gates were so strictly guarded, how could one enter so easily!
This moment, he couldn’t help but admire Prince Chu’s capabilities!
Thus it was reasonable that Prince Chu was held in high esteem by the Emperor; by following Prince Chu, he would definitely climb higher in the future.
Thinking this, Chen Hezhi further solidified his determination to follow Prince Chu.
Now Prince Chu has explicitly ordered that Prince Chen must be dealt with; today, no matter what immense issues he encounters, he must resolve the matter of Prince Chen’s Mansion on the spot.
Chen Hezhi was thrilled as he watched the officers bring in the person from the backyard.
He had even planned how to deal with them, but upon seeing clearly who the two men were, his expression changed drastically, and the words at the tip of his tongue were forcefully swallowed back.
He looked at the two men in front of him, both clearly over forty years old.
Seeing such a scene, the two men were also frightened and quickly knelt on the ground, "Spare our lives, sir, please spare our lives!"
"Who are they?!" Chen Hezhi’s expression was unspeakably grim.
Prince Chen definitely wouldn’t be a forty-something old man.
And he had seen Prince Chen before; he would recognize him at a glance!
At that moment, Pang Nan secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He really thought Prince Chen and the Princess had been discovered.
The Military Governor had brought so many people to search his house. There really was no particularly hidden place in the house; logically, they should have been found easily.
Pang Nan forced himself to calm down.
"Reporting to sir, as we searched, we found two people sneaking around under the bed. It felt suspicious, so we brought them here," the officers quickly reported, thinking they had accomplished a great feat.
The Military Governor had told them to check Pang Mansion for abnormal people, but hadn’t described what the person looked like. When he saw the two individuals looking suspicious, he immediately arrested them.
Chen Hezhi was naturally in a bad mood at that moment.
Failing to find Prince Chen and the Princess, he couldn’t report success to Prince Chu.
He shouted at the officers, "Who exactly are these two?!"
The officers trembled in fright.
Having thought they would be rewarded, now it seemed like they had angered the superior!?
The officers dared not to make a sound.
"Reporting to sir, they are the doctors I requested," Pang Nan quickly stepped forward and explained, "My daughter has indeed caught a cold recently, but it’s certainly not the plague, so I secretly brought two doctors to treat my daughter’s illness. To avoid trouble and the misunderstanding that my daughter’s cold was the plague, I did not report this and also told the doctors not to reveal it. I reckon, sir, that you brought the officers to search the mansion today because the doctors were afraid their identities would be exposed, thus they hid under the bed. Please, sir, see the truth!"
Chen Hezhi looked at Pang Nan.
The two doctors also nervously spoke, "We truly are doctors; my name is A’Gui, and his name is A’Xiang. Sir, you can inquire in Hezhou City, we have some reputation there..."
"No need!" Chen Hezhi said irritably.
His purpose was not these two men.
Arguing with them was just a waste of time.
He turned to the other officers and asked, "Has everyone returned?!"
"Sir, everyone has returned," the deputy quickly responded.
"No other findings?" Chen Hezhi asked.
"No," the deputy shook his head.
Chen Hezhi frowned.
The deputy whispered in the ears of Chen Hezhi, "We’ve turned Pang Mansion upside down, indeed, and found no other suspects."
Chen Hezhi nodded.
He turned to Pang Nan and said, "Pang Nan, I have always valued you. Now Yuzhou is in a difficult situation. If we survive this, it’s good for everyone; if not, there’s only death. Don’t disappoint my trust in you!"
"I will certainly not disappoint, sir."
"We’ve disturbed you today!" Chen Hezhi said coldly, "Let’s go!"
Turning around, he led the officers away from Pang Mansion.
A good while after leaving, Pang Nan repeatedly made sure everyone had indeed gone, then hurriedly ran to the backyard to find the person.
Entering Prince Chen’s courtyard, it was empty.
