Chapter 1467: I Know Exactly What’s Going On

However, Ke Yong seems to suggest that madam Fan is plotting something with other governors behind his back.

Ke Yong is simply both stupid and wicked.

Just as Bai Zhi’er was considering teaching him a lesson.

Suddenly, an official from the government office came in and reported: "Your Highness, Marquis, someone outside requests a secret meeting with you and claims to have important matters to report."

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "Bring him in."

The official shook his head: "He says this matter should be disclosed privately in the side hall."

Feng Fuce and Bai Zhi’er exchanged a glance.

The two decided to go and listen together.

As they left, Ke Yong looked back with a pondering gaze.

Who could it be?

In the secluded side hall, Bai Zhi’er never expected that it was the former dynasty’s Crown Prince, Gao Jin, who had come to them.

Once the door was closed, Gao Jin immediately knelt before Feng Fuce and Bai Zhi’er.

"What are you doing?!" Bai Zhi’er exclaimed with surprise.

Gao Jin’s face was tense: "I won’t hide it. I believe you’ve investigated my identity. I’m the former dynasty’s Crown Prince. If you wish to pursue accountability and blame, you can arrest me. Xinhui is innocent; she only sheltered me out of old friendship."

It turns out that Gao Jin thought madam Fan was summoned to the government office for trial because of his affairs.

Bai Zhi’er shook her head helplessly: "Actually, it has nothing to do with your matter."

Feng Fuce added: "We summoned her because someone reported that she accepted bribes, and the court demands a thorough investigation."

Gao Jin was shocked and raised his head: "That’s simply impossible! Xinhui never takes a penny more. I’m closely connected with the Fan Family and know their family teachings well. They are honest and straightforward! There must be a misunderstanding."

Feng Fuce folded his arms and calmly said: "We have mostly interrogated her just now. I have a clear understanding in my mind."

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, you may leave."

He said as he dragged Bai Zhi’er to leave.

"Wait!" Gao Jin quickly stood up: "You know I’m the former dynasty’s Crown Prince, yet you’re not arresting me?"

Bai Zhi’er burst into laughter: "Why do you still hope we would arrest you? We’ve known your identity for a long time, but I’ve told madam Fan we don’t intend to arrest you. We initially came to Peng City just for leisure."

"Everyone has a past, right? Even if you are the former dynasty’s Crown Prince, we’ve investigated your past few years and know that you have been living without other intentions. That’s enough for us. A decent person, why should we arrest you?"

Gao Jin was dumbfounded.

He never expected the Princess to say such words.

She is the only child of the Emperor of Great Chu; her words must also represent the meaning of the Emperor of Great Chu, right?

Feng Fuce saw him stunned: "Do you have anything else? If not, we’re leaving. The sooner we finish interrogating and uncover the mastermind, my Princess can return to the Capital to admire the flowers."

Gao Jin shook his head blankly: "I... I have said everything."

Bai Zhi’er held onto Feng Fuce’s arm and walked out while muttering bad words about Ke Yong: "He really doesn’t look like a decent person!"

Feng Fuce smiled at her warmly: "Shall we torture him severely and apply harsh punishment later?"

"Princess, Marquis!" Gao Jin suddenly spoke up.

Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce turned around to look.

Gao Jin bowed deeply: "Thank you both. I will wait here for Xinhui."

Bai Zhi’er smiled sincerely.

"You are much better than Ke Yong, worthy of a lady like madam Fan."

Upon their return.

The person mentioned by madam Fan was also brought by the Xiu Luo Envoy.
