Chapter 41 Stealing the account books and catching them all
The provincial prefect and the county officials of Chuzhou looked at each other, and a trace of joy flashed in their eyes, it seemed that Helian Chen was planning to help them, otherwise it would not be this attitude.
"Come on, tell me what you can do for this king?" Helian Chen crossed his hands and asked calmly.
"Lord Wang, we can support you financially, you must know that money can make ghosts grind, if the prince has any difficulties in the future, we can also contribute money to help, why not?" Chuzhou county magistrate said.
"And with our help, the Tai'an Royal Mansion will definitely be jealous of the prince, and the prince doesn't need to be so low to the princess." The provincial prefect said.
Helian Chen slapped the table suddenly, and retorted angrily: "This king didn't whisper to that woman, this king will say it again, this king just looks at her as a female streamer, and disdains to deal with her!" ”
"Yes, it was the lower official who misunderstood." The provincial prefect shook his body and replied.
At this time, Helian Chen's subordinates, who had been guarding the door, rushed in, and everyone was stunned: "Bold, who let you in!" ”
"Princess······ The princess is here! The man gasped.
Everyone was shocked, and their eyes involuntarily turned to Helianchen, could it be that Helianchen brought it? Helian Chen hurriedly shook his head, waved his hand and said that he didn't know at all, the provincial prefect pursed his lips and thought, it shouldn't be Helian Chen, he also has to deal with Chu Xiaoxiang, how could he call Chu Xiaoxiang over, it could only be Chu Xiaoxiang and she came with her.
The provincial prefect glared at the Chuzhou county official fiercely, and scolded: "I don't know if I'm being followed, it's really useless waste!" Don't hurry up and pack up, get out of here immediately. ”
The county magistrate of Chuzhou nodded, he really didn't know that Chu Xiaoxiang was following them, otherwise how could he let her come here, it was really careless.
"Lord, let's do this this time, the princess is here, let's get out of here quickly, lest the princess catch us in a while." The provincial prefect said to Helian Chen beside him.
Helian Chen nodded and said to his subordinates beside him, "Let's leave quickly, my lord, you have to be careful." ”
The provincial prefect watched Helian Chen leave, explained to the others, picked up the account book on the table and hurriedly got into his carriage and left.
Chu Xiaoxiang was on the way back to the provincial prefect, and they were all about to fall asleep, and they hadn't waited for the provincial prefect yet, did they have to discuss it for so long? She's so bored.
"Giggle~" The sound of the carriage woke up Chu Xiaoxiang, who was full of sleepiness, she hid in the tree, and heard the sound of the carriage from a distance, is it finally coming?
Although the provincial prefect brought some officials out, they were all those who could only do three-legged cat kung fu, she didn't pay attention to it at all, and it was much easier for her to act alone.
Chu Xiaoxiang jumped down from the tree, blocked in front of the carriage, and looked at the groom with a playful look and had to stop the car: "Where are you going to the provincial prefect?" ”
"My lord, there's a woman out there blocking our way." The groom said to the provincial prefect in the car.
The provincial prefect opened the curtain and walked out, and found that Chu Xiaoxiang actually appeared in front of him, what did the man mean when he said that the princess was here?
"It turned out to be the princess, forgive the official for not being strict in discipline, this groom doesn't know the princess, so he said wildly, and asked the princess to forgive the sin." The provincial prefect said with a smile.
He didn't figure out what was going on, so he had to take a look first and find a way to get out, how could Chu Xiaoxiang let the provincial prefect leave so easily, and the account books in his hand hadn't been handed yet.
"Princess, there are still some things in Xiaguan's family that need to be dealt with by Xiaguan, if the princess doesn't have anything too important, Xiaguan will leave first." The provincial prefect shook his body and thought about getting into the carriage.
Chu Xiaoxiang took out a small dagger from his sleeve and threw it in the direction of the groom, the dagger passed through the groom's throat fiercely, blood sprayed out, and the groom fell to the ground in response.
"This ······ What does this mean, princess? The provincial prefect didn't expect Chu Xiaoxiang's methods to be so ruthless, he always thought that Chu Xiaoxiang would know some martial arts at most.
Chu Xiaoxiang sneered, and slowly walked towards the provincial prefect, the smile on his face made the provincial prefect's heart panic, and it was not a good thing to see it.
"Don't be afraid, the lord of this county is just here to ask the lord for something, and please cooperate with the lord, of course, if the lord is not willing to cooperate, then the lord of the county will have to use the strong one." Chu Xiaoxiang said with a sneer.
The provincial prefect didn't know that Chu Xiaoxiang knew about their bribery, thinking that she was asking about Helianchen's whereabouts, but Helianchen had already left first, and he didn't know where Helianchen went.
"Princess, the lower officials don't know where the prince went." The provincial prefect shook his head and said.
Chu Xiaoxiang narrowed his eyes, threw the small dagger hidden in the cuff behind him, and another dagger slammed through the throat of the servant, and saw blood seal the throat.
"My lord, it's boring for you to play dumb riddles with the county lord, do you think the county lord can't do anything about you? Or do you have no sense of my methods at all? Chu Xiaoxiang showed a cruel smile and said disdainfully.
The provincial prefect was so frightened that his legs began to tremble, and even became weak, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he forced the fear in the center, but he didn't dare to look directly at Chu Xiaoxiang's bloodthirsty eyes.
This princess should not be described as a tigress, she is simply a devil, a devil who only knows how to kill, which makes people feel frightened and frightened.
"Since you don't want to hand over the things, then the county lord has to do it himself, and don't shout pain when the time comes." Chu Xiaoxiang hooked the corners of her perfect mouth, looked at the provincial prefect condescendingly and said.
The provincial prefect suddenly knelt down and replied in a trembling voice: "Princess, princess, the lower officials really don't know what you said about the princess, and ask the princess for a few words." ”
Chu Xiaoxiang took out the dagger that had been tied to his leg, picked up the chin of the provincial prefect with the tip of the knife, and asked expressionlessly: "Since you don't know, then the county lord will say it directly, hand over your account books in the past few years, and the county lord will spare your life, otherwise, you can try, is the county lord's dagger fast, or your useless servants." ”
The provincial prefect was slightly stunned, and he already had the answer in his heart, it turned out that all this was a bureau, and Helian Chen didn't need to deal with Chu Xiaoxiang at all, because they were together, and they came to Chuzhou to investigate the matter of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so it was, no wonder they have been here for so long, and they don't see how they go out.
"It turns out that you have always known about this matter, and you also know that we have account books, and today is all a bureau, right?" The provincial prefect shook his head in despair and asked.
"Your Excellency, are you just trying to figure it out now? Unfortunately, you now have no choice but to hand over your books. Helian Chen didn't know where to come from, and said with a mocking face.
The provincial prefect's eyes suddenly flashed a fierce light, he took out the account book from his arms and tried to tear up the account book, Helian Chen and Chu Xiaoxiang also discovered his intentions, Chu Xiaoxiang knocked the provincial prefect unconscious one step faster, and did not let him destroy the account book.
"It's all going well, isn't it?" Helian Chen looked at Chu Xiaoxiang with some concern, a little worried that she would be injured, he suggested not to be alone at that time, but she still insisted on choosing to come alone, and she didn't know if she was injured.
Chu Xiaoxiang handed over the account book in his hand to Helian Chen, shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, these people can't hurt me, let's hand over this account book to the emperor quickly, as for the provincial prefect, we can only lock him up first, and wait for the account book to be safely delivered to the emperor before we can release him." ”
Helian Chen nodded casually, he knew all this, he just wanted to know if Chu Xiaoxiang was injured, Chu Xiaoxiang looked helpless, she was not so weak.
The next day, Helian Chen and Chu Xiaoxiang led people to arrest all these people according to the names on the list in the account books, it can be said that they have all been caught in a net, and there is not a single fish that has slipped through the net, and the matter in Chuzhou has finally come to an end, and the next thing is to arrange to return to Beijing.
Chu Xiaoxiang sat in the room, boredly playing with the fruit in her hand, this time she had to bring the Taoist priest back, to be honest, in the face of the truth, she was really a little curious.
"Xiang'er, we may have to go separate when we return to Beijing tomorrow." Helian Chen pursed his lips and said after hesitating for a long time.
"Huh? Why? Chu Xiaoxiang didn't understand a little, everyone was going back to Beijing, why should they be separated, could it be that there were still two capitals.
"I still have something to do tomorrow, so I'm going to go somewhere else, aren't you going to take the Taoist priest back to Beijing to investigate the truth? You go first, and I will meet you in the capital in a few days. Helian Chen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said.
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded, since he had something to do, he had no choice but to separate, anyway, according to Helian Chen's skills, there should be few people who could hurt him.
On the day of separation, Chu Xiaoxiang left with Taoyao, Zhuohua and Taoist priests first, while Helian Chen and his subordinates took another carriage and went in the other direction.
"Master, where are we going?" The subordinate driving the carriage asked with some confusion. Where is this going? Even the princess can't say anything.
Helian Chen was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard his subordinates' inquiry, he just raised his eyes and glanced at it, but he didn't say anything, and the subordinate knew his master's temper very well, and he didn't dare to say more.
Suddenly, the horse that was pulling the carriage seemed to be frightened, and raised its front legs, and the subordinates driving the carriage could not pull it back, and suddenly lost control.
"What's going on? Protect your master! The personal guard who was staying with Helian Chen in the carriage said anxiously.
I don't know what's going on, the carriage suddenly went out of control, the horse fell to the ground, and it was silent, and a group of masked killers ran out from all directions, and they all ran in the direction of Helian Chen.
