At this time, Yun Ning in Jinling Mansion spent an entire afternoon making all the pills, and Bai Qianjin also convicted Zhou Duohai.
Without Hua Wuxie, Zhou Duohai completely lost his backbone and confessed everything without even being tortured.
He knew in his heart that even if he didn't confess, Bai Qianjin still had Hua Wuxie's confession written in blood, as well as the testimony of Xie Liang and Sun Cheng.
Why suffer more?
"Your Majesty, are you and the princess leaving tomorrow?"
The person who spoke was dressed in official uniform, and his every move had the aura of a scholar. His eyes were wise but unsophisticated.
This person is none other than Sun Cheng, who serves as the temporary prefect.
Bai Qianjin nodded and said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, the remaining houses only need A Ning's pills to be sent there."
Sun Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful when returning to Beijing this time. I suspect...that someone will kidnap Zhou Duohai."
Although Zhou Duohai committed a serious crime, because he was a fourth-rank official, according to the law, he should be escorted back to the capital for review by Dali Temple and then approved by the emperor.
Bai Qianjin knew that there must be someone behind Zhou Duohai, especially since Hua Wuxie was the apprentice of the Skeleton Man. This made it difficult for him to connect the affairs in Jiangnan with the affairs in the cottage on the outskirts of the capital.
Now that the soldiers have been arrested, the driving force behind it will definitely show up.
He said, "Master Sun, do you have any doubts?"
Sun Cheng said, "First of all, Hua Wuxie's origin is like a mystery. No one knows what organization he comes from and what background he has. Secondly, I always feel that Zhou Duohai still has something to hide."
Although the last sentence is just his guess, after so many years of getting along with Zhou Duohai, he knows very well that Zhou Duohai is a cunning person, and he will definitely not tell everything he knows until the last moment.
There will always be some backup.
Bai Qianjin was also aware of this matter, but now that the enemy was hiding, even if he had a guess, there was no way to prove it, let alone directly find out the person behind the scenes.
Bai Qianjin responded in a deep voice, "I understand."
On the second day, Bai Qianjin was still riding on the tall horse with Yun Ning. His handsome and slender figure complemented Yun Ning's slender but tall figure. A group of soldiers followed behind them.
The entire people of Jinling Mansion gathered around them, looking gratefully at the pair of saviors who looked like a couple of gods.
"Best farewell to the prince and princess." Sun Cheng stood in front and said with his hands bowed.
"Farewell to the prince and princess." The voices of all the people sounded in unison, and they kowtowed deeply in the direction of Yun Ning and Bai Qianjin.
"Everyone, please go back. I'll see you again someday." Yun Ning said with a smile, then pulled the reins with her delicate hands, and the horse's head turned in another direction and left the place.
Bai Qianjin was beside her, and their figures slowly lengthened in the early morning sun. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them without exception.
"The prince and the princess are truly a match made in heaven."
"Whether it's looks or talent, these two are a perfect match."
"Have you noticed that the prince seems to only have eyes for the princess?"
"Of course I discovered that the prince is cold to everyone and only smiles when facing the princess. Isn't that Shen Ziyue a living negative example?"
In a corner where no one noticed, a blind woman was hiding and secretly listening to everyone's voices. She pinched her hands so hard that her nails pierced her flesh.
"What, are you jealous? Do you want revenge?"
An eerie and cold female voice suddenly sounded in Shen Ziyue's ears, which made her shiver.
Her body was in a protective posture, her eyes were confused, and her voice was trembling, "Who are you?"
