489 [Fourteen Princes]

Magistrate's Yamen.

"Brother Fu, when will you lead the troops to rescue the Fourteenth Prince?" the fourth girl asked urgently.

"Don't worry, Si'er. I've sent people to scout around, and I think we'll have results in the next two days." Fukangan said with a slight smile.

"I wonder where the prince is now, and what is his safety?" The fourth girl frowned and said, "No, I can't stay in the government office anymore, I'd better go out to look for him."

"Si'er, there is a huge sea of ​​people, where are you going to find him?" Fukangan saw him and quickly persuaded him, "It's better to stay and wait until you get accurate information before you take action."

"No, I can't sit still. When I think of the prince suffering, my heart twists like a knife." The fourth girl said in pain.

Fukangan couldn't help but feel jealous when he heard what she said, "Si'er, you only care about him, don't you care about me?"

"Brother Fu, I'm sorry. Your Majesty has been kind to me, and I can't leave him alone." The fourth girl shook her head. After saying that, she jumped onto the ridge of the house, and then used Qinggong to disappear after a few ups and downs.

When Fukangan saw it, he couldn't help but get very angry.

If I had known that the fourth girl was so infatuated, I should have ordered the killing of the fourteenth prince.



Tianlong Inn.

Qianlong had just returned from a private visit incognito. As soon as he entered the inn, Heshen and Fukang'an came forward to greet him, "I'm here to greet you, my master!"

"Huh?! Why are you two here? Didn't I order you two to stay in Yunzhou? How dare you resist the order and be disrespectful?" Qianlong was shocked when he saw it.

"Master, please calm down, I have something to report." Seeing the emperor's anger, He Shen quickly defended himself, "My servant received the news and learned that the Fourteenth Prince intended to assassinate him, so he traveled all night to rescue him."

"Uncle Fourteenth Emperor?!" Qianlong was stunned, "Heshen, you can't slander He Shen without any evidence."

"Your Majesty, everything this servant said is true." He Shen kowtowed quickly, "If it is not true, I am willing to suffer the crime of resisting the decree."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be your guarantee for Your Majesty He." Fukang'an also kowtowed, "If it is not true, I am willing to accept the guilt together."

When Qianlong heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

The two ministers were so confident in their words that they even dared to put their heads on their necks as guarantee. This was no child's play.

But he could not conclude from this that the Fourteenth Prince really had rebellious intentions.

After all, the Fourteenth Prince was his uncle. After he ascended the throne, he not only lifted his captivity, but also granted him titles such as Duke Feng'enfu, Duoluobele, and Prince Duoluoxun. It can be said that Jun Enru was ocean.

If the Fourteenth Prince really still has treasonous intentions, it would be a sincere mistake for him, no less than a knife in his heart.

"That's enough. I can't listen to your one-sided words whether the Fourteenth Emperor has tampering intentions." Qianlong then said, "Fu Kang'an, I order you to investigate this matter with full authority, and you must get to the bottom of it."

"Yes, I obey the order!" Fukangan immediately accepted the order and said.

"Your Majesty, there are many dangers in Yancheng. I ask you to return to the palace as soon as possible." He Shen started again.

"No, if I can't find the White Snake, I won't return to the palace for a day." Qianlong immediately refused after hearing this.

He has found clues to the White Snake, so how can he return to the palace now?

"Your Majesty, please plan for the country, the country, and the people!" He Shen said with sincerity.

"Yes, long live the Qing Dynasty. The safety of the country and Yancheng is in danger. I can't stay here for long!" Fukang'an also begged bitterly.

"That's enough. If you dare to persuade me to return to the capital, I will take off the flower feathers on my head!" Qianlong coldly ordered, "I am tired and want to go back to my room to rest. You are not allowed to disturb me!"

He Shen and Fukang'an looked at each other in confusion. Seeing that the emperor's opinion was so firm, they had no choice but to stop begging and retreat.



Turning around, the emperor continued his private visit incognito to inquire about the whereabouts of Mrs. Bai Niang, the owner of Guangfa Grain Store.

He Shen and Fu Kang'an stayed outside the inn all night. They wanted to spend the next day with the emperor, but Qianlong ordered them not to follow him, which made them both very disappointed.

Qianlong inquired about the whereabouts of the White Snake, but was surprised to find that no matter whether he bribed or coerced him, he could not find out the whereabouts of the White Snake.

This white lady's business is so big that she owns all the grain shops, banks, tea shops, ship shops, car dealers, etc. in the city. However, few of her clerks and shopkeepers have actually seen her.

Everyone has heard rumors about her, but most people have never seen her. This person is actually a divine dragon that never sees its end, and is extremely mysterious.

The more Qianlong investigated, the more suspicious and elusive he felt.

Just when he didn't know how to continue, a woman suddenly screamed, "Foolish king, I'm going to die!" She stabbed him with a sharp sword!

Qianlong was shocked and quickly dodged and fought with the woman.

Although he had learned archery, horse riding, archery, boxing and kick wrestling since he was a child, and his skills were pretty good, he soon fell behind.

At first, the woman was armed with a sharp sword and had the advantage of the weapon. But he was unarmed and only had a fan, so he was unable to resist.

Secondly, the woman's swordsmanship was superb and her kung fu was even better than his. Therefore, it was naturally more difficult for Qianlong to deal with it.

"Oops, could it be that I, Qianlong, am going to die at Xiao Xiao's hands?" Qianlong became more and more frightened as he fought, regretting not listening to He Shen's words.



At this moment, another person was heard shouting, "Xu Xian, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman holding a wooden stick jumped forward and joined forces with Qianlong to fight against the female killer.

"Xiaoyue, thank you!" Qianlong saw that it was Du Xiaoyue.

When the female killer saw that Du Xiaoyue's kung fu was almost as good as hers. Knowing that it would be difficult to kill Qianlong today, she jumped onto the wall and then disappeared without a trace.

"Xu Xian, are you okay?" Du Xiaoyue asked with concern, "Why did that woman want to kill you?"

"I don't know either." Qianlong waved his hand, "Xiaoyue, I'm lucky to have you today. I will remember your kindness."

"Hey, it's a trivial matter, you're welcome. Didn't you save me before?" Du Xiaoyue threw away the stick, waved her hand and said with a smile.

Qianlong chuckled, and then asked, "By the way, Xiaoyue, where is Ji Xiaolan?"

"Mr. Ji?! Do you also know Mr. Ji?" Du Xiaoyue said in surprise.

Qianlong smiled and said, "Not only do you know, I have a good relationship with him. Where is he now? Take me to see him."

He wanted to ask Ji Xiaolan for advice on how to find the White Snake.

"You can't see him, Mr. Ji was arrested." Du Xiaoyue waved her hand.

"Ji Xiaolan was arrested?" Qianlong was surprised.

"Yes, as soon as He Shen arrived, he arrested Mr. Ji." Du Xiaoyue explained.

Qianlong nodded.

Ji Xiaolan came to Yancheng under the false name of He Shen to check the accounts. Once the real He Shen arrives, his fake He Shen will be exposed. When the time comes, he will indeed be caught and thrown into prison.

"Okay, let's go rescue Mr. Ji first." He said immediately.

It was time to pronounce judgment on the case of local officials embezzling food funds for disaster relief. Although he was mainly busy these days looking for White Snake, he also took a look at the local customs.

It has to be said that Yancheng is already empty out of ten houses, and most of the people have left their homes and fled. On the contrary, those officials and profiteers are full of money and money.
