Chapter 803: Is not Prince Xiao, but Prince Jin?
The identity of the person in front of him was revealed.
He trembled and asked: “His, his royal highness Prince Xiao?”
Captain Jin was about to speak, but and Chu Yan, aka Hu Feng, raised his hand to stop him.
“County Magistrate Qian, do you recognize this prince?” Chu Yan didn’t say anything, just look at the magistrate.
When Qian Daren heard this, he immediately knelt and kowtowed his head: “His royal highness, you came. This official has done everything properly according to your instructions. It’s just, just—“
Chu Yan asked: “Just what? Make it clear.”
Qian Daren said with a trembling voice: “It’s just things failed to proceed according to his highness’s plan.”
“What is it?” Chu Yan’s voice turned colder by three points.
Qian Daren didn’t hesitate, he busily reported the truth: “This lowly official put the bait in the post house according to your plan. After the trap was planted, the fish took the bait. This lowly official clearly saw the person who enters the post house was Prince Jin. But when this official arrives, he had already escaped. When I return to the government office, I closed the city gate and searched the whole city the whole day, but still failed to find their whereabouts. The city gate can’t be close all the time. People need to enter and leave the city. This official was afraid that, if I kept the gate close, there will be rumors. Once the rumors reach the capital, things will be more troublesome. This lowly official tried weighing the matter for the sake of his Highness. Therefore, under various considerations, I decided to open the city gate and let the people out first. But his Highness, you can rest assured that I have already sent additional manpower to set up a defense at the gate. Prince Jin won’t be able to escape.”
Chu Yan nodded his head in satisfaction, the report was very detailed. He reported everything that should be said.
He said to Captain Jin: “Write down everything he said and let him sign it.”
Qian Daren was dumbfounded. What sign it?
He stared at the imperial prince in front of him, then suddenly thought something. How could Prin Xiao be here in this place? At this time, if he appeared, he won’t be able to avoid suspicion. How can he come here?
Could it be that he was not Prince Xiao? But this face was familiar, and that overbearing atmosphere and pair of eyes.
No, no, no, no!
Although those eyes looked similar, they didn’t look the same. When Prince Xiao looked at him, his eyes were gloomy and cold. He rarely looked at him. Most of the time, he closed his eyes.
However, this person in front of him, while he was speaking, he always stared at him. As if observing him. And those eyes, although it was cold, it was less sinister.
Isn’t he Prince Xiao? If he is not Prince Xiao, then he’s Prince Jin?
Qian Daren felt that his vision turning dark. He hoped that he could faint right now.
In this way, he doesn’t have to face all this.
The confession was quickly written. Qian Daren’s hand was held and his fingerprint was pressed. The fingerprints of the two foolish guards on the other side were also pressed on their confession. They also felt strange why their master said those words to this man. Isn’t it the same as looking for death? The person in front of him was clearly not Prince Xiao... ...
However, their master pressed his fingerprints, what reason will use to refuse?
Qian Daren and the two guards were tied up. Their mouths were also stuffed with a cloth so that they couldn’t bite their tongues and kill themselves.
Captain Jin then asked Chu Yan: “His royal highness, where are we going now?”
Chu Yan thought of the missing Prince of Jin Country. He was worried about him: “Let’s go back to the capital first. The emperor must have received the letter I sent. He has his own decision. We should only do our own thing.”
When it comes to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he was not in the position to decide about it. Besides, Princess Qianfang was deeply poisoned and urgently needs to be detoxified. Otherwise, she can’t keep her life. He cannot delay this matter any longer.
