Chapter 321: Investigation of the case

Peng Danling looked at these people carefully, if the thief came to steal the spring grass again last night, he could almost confirm that such a blatant provocation was someone who wanted to take revenge on the medicine house, then it would be much more difficult to investigate, after all, everyone didn't know about Xinglintang, let alone who Xinglintang had offended before!

But fortunately, the thief didn't come last night, and the two consecutive days of stealing the spring grass may not be a provocation, but the thief's greed, and it is more likely that the people in the medicine house deliberately did it to confuse the public!

Regardless of his purpose, as long as the Yanchun grass was still in the hands of the thief, he had a way to get that person out.

Wan Lao's words yesterday just reminded him that although Yanchun grass is expensive, as long as the people in Shangcheng know the goods, even if the thieves steal the herbs outside the city, they will take the herbs to the Shangcheng pharmacy to sell.

It's just that there are many large and small pharmacies in Shangcheng, if he relies on his own strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch the thief, and it seems that this matter can only be made big!

With an idea in their hearts, Peng Danling and Wan Lao briefly explained their thoughts, and jointly handed a copy to the emperor with the two of them, asking the emperor to send someone to secretly assist in the investigation.

On the palace side, after the emperor saw the recital, he immediately agreed to Peng Danling and Wan Lao's request, and instructed Peng Danling to take charge of the case.

In the past, as long as the emperor was alarmed, the emperor would hand it over to King Chen to do if he didn't want to, because King Chen was not in Shangcheng, and the emperor thought of him.

Peng Danling enjoyed the time when King Chen was not in Shangcheng, and his heart was even more determined to defeat King Chen!

However, there was one thing that still made him unhappy, that is, the emperor asked the prince of Chenwangfu to assist Peng Danling in investigating the case in the name of experience.

In the final analysis, the emperor is still partial to King Chen, even if King Chen is not in Shangcheng, he will still think about letting King Chen's sons replace King Chen.

Fortunately, although the prince of Chen Wang is talented in literature, he has no achievements in government affairs, and he feels a lot better when he wants to be here.

If there was a second King Chen, he would feel troubled when he thought about it!

Sure enough, Chen Bai didn't care much about the Yellow Emperor's will after learning about it.

Peng Cheng is smart and talented, and he has the secret help of Uncle Huang, in fact, he can't help much, Uncle Huang just wants him to learn something from Prime Minister Peng!

But the most important thing in his heart now is to wait for Phi Xing to bring back the news about Cao Zhijin.

Thinking of this, he began to be at a loss again.

If it is really as Wensheng said, what should he do?

Xu Weijun walked into the room, saw him frowning, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with the prince, I rarely see the prince show such an annoying look!"

Chen Bai saw Xu Weijun holding the soup, so he naturally walked to the table and sat down.

Since his mother confined herself to Fangfeiyuan, she would come to Baiyuan every day with all kinds of food to see him.

Xu Weijun was originally a considerate person, and they were husband and wife, Chen Bai felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Xu Weijun had the most contact with Princess Chen before, although she can't go to Fangfei Courtyard now, but she can see her in a calm mood, as if she can see Princess Chen's comfortable appearance, for Chen Bai, it is more or less comforting.

Chen Bai knew that what Wensheng said was very important, but he was not good at lying, especially in front of Xu Weijun, so he had to pretend to drink soup, and said nervously while lowering his head: "The Yanchun grass of Wan Lao in the medicine house in the south of the city was stolen, and Uncle Huang asked me to assist Prime Minister Peng Cheng in investigating the case together, but the relationship between my father and Prime Minister Peng has not been good, although my father is not in Shangcheng now, I am worried that he will be angry when he comes back to learn about it!"

Xu Weijun was first surprised by the theft of the spring grass.

She runs a pharmacy herself, and she knows more or less about medicinal herbs, not to mention the precious herb of Yanchun grass, which she knows is planted by the elders for the queen!

She listened to Chen Bai's troubles, and said with a relaxed smile: "Actually, the prince can also ignore this matter, with Prime Minister Peng's ability, he will definitely catch the thief soon, and the imperial uncle actually just wants to experience and train you!"

"The princess is really a word to wake up the dreamer!" Chen Bai raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, and gently held her hand.

Xu Weijun lowered his head, his face slightly red.

"The prince of the world is praised!"

"Today's soup was delicious!" Chen Bai exclaimed.

Xu Weijun raised his head, and while serving him another bowl, he said happily: "Shizi likes to drink more, I didn't drink much of the soup Shizi I sent before, I thought Shizi was tired of drinking!"

"How come, I like all the food made by the princess!" Chen Bai smiled at her, but his face twitched uncontrollably.

This is probably the price of panic!

"By the way, the last time Pi Xing talked to me about something, I was originally waiting for my mother to come out and tell my mother," he paused, Junya's face was dyed with a little melancholy, and he turned to smile and said, "But I don't often see my mother, let me tell you, you wait for your mother to come out, you tell your mother!"

Xu Weijun is not unhappy that the son of the world can't see his mother, but this is already a habitual thing, and she is also used to not spending too much emotion on this kind of unchangeable thing.

She smiled curiously: "What is the matter, I am really curious when I am told by the prince!"

"It's not a big deal, but I think my mother will be happy to hear it!" Chen Bai also smiled, "Last time, Phi Xing was drunk and was reprimanded by Mrs. Yuzhuang of Qinxiang Yuan, Mrs. Yuzhuang said that Phi Xing is a person from the Guardian Courtyard, representing his mother's face, and reminded him to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future!"

In fact, when it comes to Yuzhuang, Xu Weijun's heart is not very comfortable, his father doesn't care much about the eldest brother's unique favor for her, but his father doesn't allow the son to see his mother more, but Mrs. Yuzhuang can eat with her eldest brother in her father's yard, and she just let her see it, which makes people feel uncomfortable!

But this time, she didn't expect that Mrs. Yuzhuang was such a dignified and reasonable person.

Mrs. Yuzhuang's past, these juniors don't know much about it, but thinking that she has been locked up in Qinxiangyuan by her father for more than 20 years, it must be uncomfortable!

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty in her heart!

"Doesn't the princess look very happy?" Chen Bai looked at her puzzled.

Xu Weijun looked up at him, shook his head, and thought, after all, the prince is the prince, and he is bound to take a concubine in the future, if one day, he no longer likes her, will she fall to the same level as Mrs. Yuzhuang?

She doesn't have the same tenacity as Mrs. Yuzhuang, she can't wait for more than twenty years, so she won't let that happen!

Fortunately, the son of the world is pure in character and cannot do things as resolute as his father!

She smiled at him and said, "I just think of Mrs. Yuzhuang's past, and I think it's not easy for her!"

Chen Bai rarely saw Yuzhuang, but the hurried glance in the garden before impressed him, obviously she was a person who boiled out of bitter water, but she couldn't see a trace of sadness on her body, her eyes were gentle and clear, giving people an indescribable sense of shock.
