After Prince Duan left, Gao Ziping rushed to the backyard. Seeing that Ning Chen was fine, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief! Feng Qizheng looked puzzled, "Why did Prince Duan's people withdraw?" Ning Chen smiled and said, "Prince Duan has withdrawn, what are his people doing?" "No, I mean, Prince Duan didn't make things difficult for us?" Ning Chen shrugged, "Prince Duan didn't know about the planting of fairy flowers. Now that the matter has been investigated, why would he make things difficult for us?" The three of them stared at Ning Chen. Gao Ziping frowned, "Prince Duan didn't know?" Ning Chen nodded. "All these things were done by the former governor and prefect of Xiuzhou, in conjunction with Qiu Mingde and others... It has nothing to do with Prince Duan!"
Gao Ziping said in a deep voice: "Do you believe this? The evidence you brought back..." "The evidence is fake." Ning Chen interrupted him, "This matter has nothing to do with Prince Duan." Feng Qizheng looked at him, "Ning Chen, are you threatened? If so, blink." Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "What's wrong, am I suddenly mute?" "No, why did your attitude suddenly change 180 degrees?" Ning Chen said: "I also suspected Prince Duan before, but now the evidence is conclusive, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Duan." Feng Qizheng asked curiously: "What evidence?" "You will see it tomorrow!" After Ning Chen finished speaking, he looked at the three of them and said seriously: "I don't know what you think? But I have always regarded you as my best friends... I only ask one question, do you believe me?" The three looked at each other. Ning Chen suddenly became so affectionate, and they were not used to it. Feng Qizhen said: "Isn't this nonsense? We have visited prostitutes together and fought on the battlefield together. We are brothers who have risked our lives together... If we don't trust you, who can we trust?" Gao Ziping and Chen Chong nodded repeatedly. Ning Chen smiled and said: "Okay, since you trust me, then this matter ends here... Don't ask again in the future." The three looked at each other and nodded slightly. Gao Ziping said: "Okay, we will listen to you." Ning Chen felt in his arms and took out three silver notes. "One for each person." The three took the silver notes, the face value was 10,000 taels.
Gao Ziping frowned, "Did you accept the money from Prince Duan?" He put the banknote on the table, "Ning Chen, I can take other money, but I can't take this money... Taking this money means you are in collusion with Prince Duan and condoning him to grow the fairy flower." "We have all seen how terrible the fairy powder is... You said it yourself that it can destroy a country." Ning Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be no more fairy flowers in the future... And this money was not given by Prince Duan, but by Qiu Mingde, and it is sandwiched in the evidence." "A total of 50,000 taels, the four of us and Lao Pan, each 10,000 taels... Since Lao Gao doesn't want it, let's divide the 10,000 taels among the four of us." Ning Chen said, preparing to take the banknote back, but Gao Ziping snatched it away. "Don't you want it?" "Who said I don't want it? I just put it on the table." Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "You are so shameless, just like Old Feng." Gao Ziping smiled awkwardly, "Are you sure the fairy flower won't appear again?" Ning Chen nodded, "Sure." Gao Ziping breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" Ning Chen smiled and said, "Okay! I've been living like a savage for a while. Go back to the room and take a good bath. I'll go to Xiuzhou Jiaofangsi to drink and listen to music and relax. I'll treat you!" The three of them were excited. These past few days have been so hard! Feng Qi was shaking his head, "How does that sentence go? Ning Chen gave me life, and my parents know me." Ning Chen's mouth twitched, and he raised his thumb, "Well said!" "No, did I say it the other way around?" "No, that's what I said." ...... The four of them returned to the room, called the waiter, and quickly prepared hot water. Fortunately, they all brought spare clothes with them, and left them at the inn when they went to Qinghe County. The clothes were still there, but they had been searched. When the waiter left, Ning Chen quickly took off all his clothes. He raised his arm and smelled it. Wow, his armpits were full of the scent of fennel. These days, they lived like savages. After a comfortable bath and changing into clean clothes, they felt like they were reborn. He called the waiter to move the bathtub out. Ning Chen tore off a corner of the painting on the wall, rubbed it with his fingers, and it became a strip... After coming out, he clamped it under the crack of the door when he closed the door.
When he was about to go find Feng Qizhen and others, a man in tight clothes came over. Ning Chen had seen him before. He was the guard beside Prince Duan, the one who stabbed Gu Xingfa to death with a knife. The man stood still, clasped his fists and saluted, "Mr. Ning, your horse has been sent back!" Ning Chen smiled and said, "Thank you!" The other party took out a few folded papers from his body, "The prince asked me to give this to you!" "What is this?" "The charges, all have been signed!" Ning Chen took it, opened one and took a look, and smiled, "Thank the prince for me!" The other party nodded, "Then I'll take my leave!" "Goodbye!" Ning Chen put the charges close to his body and went to the stable. Diao Chan was indeed sent back. Seeing Ning Chen, Diao Chan neighed excitedly and rubbed Ning Chen with her big head. Ning Chen untied the reins, climbed on the horse, and rode Diao Chan around the backyard for a few laps. He was relieved to make sure that she was in good condition. Immediately, he led Diao Chan back and tied her up, went to the front hall, went upstairs to call Feng Qizheng and others, and went straight to the Jiaofangsi. The Jiaofangsi in Xiuzhou was no smaller than that in the capital, and was very impressive. There were three floors in total, all in vermilion. It was dark at this time, and the lights were bright. The three of them went in, and the old procuress greeted them warmly. "You three gentlemen look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?" Feng Qizheng snorted, "I have been here several times. The previous times, your courtesan accompanied me... Go and call the courtesan to me, otherwise you will accompany me tonight!" Ning Chen glanced at the old procuress and silently covered his face. This fool, he really dared to speak. If it was the madam of the Beijing Jiaofangsi, he could tolerate it... Although the madam of the Beijing Jiaofangsi is already middle-aged, she still has charm. This madam is really hard to describe. The madam waved the silk handkerchief in her hand and acted coyly, "This gentleman is really good at joking. Our courtesan never accepts customers!" Feng Qizhen directly took out the banknote, "What's wrong, are you afraid that I can't pay the silver? Be careful that I will use the silver to destroy your Jiaofangsi." The madam almost drooled when she saw the 10,000 taels of silver in Feng Qizhen's hand. "Master, the courtesan really doesn't accept guests! How about you sit down first and have some tea, I'll find you some pretty girls... I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Feng Qizheng nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay... Go and arrange it for me, find five girls, one for each of them, and two for me." Ning Chen was speechless, "Four will be enough, I'll give you that one!" He came here just to have a drink and relax, and didn't plan to stay overnight at the Jiaofangsi... He was carrying evidence of his crime, so he couldn't be careless.
