Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 181 Cui Shizi

After arranging everything, as soon as Yiman returned to the mansion, he received news that the prince had arrived.

"Brother Imperial, is the court over?"

"Yiman, you-"

Then there was a violent cough, and Yiman quickly took the teacup from Song Guo and placed it next to the prince.

"Brother Emperor, am I okay? Besides, Zhige and Bai Yi are following me, so it's okay. The old ghost Qianzhang has been brought to justice, and the casualties in the west of the city have been ordered to be settled."

Yiman had just experienced life and death, and when he saw that she was still being careful, the prince couldn't bear to blame him and sighed deeply, "If you want to hold Dali Temple accountable, hold her accountable. You must never take your life as a joke again."

Yiman smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Huang."

"Chu Nan just learned about this and wants to come to greet you and say thank you. I have already asked him to go back."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, "Brother Huang, what I mean is——"

"I understand that if you risk your life to rescue the girl, I will let people spread it among the people, or make it into a song and spread it. So I sent Chu Nan back directly, and Dali Temple must be held responsible."

Yiman smiled sheepishly, "Brother Huang really understands me."

The prince's eyebrows were filled with worry, "You didn't admit that you were a kind person before, why are you working so hard for a child today?"

He was stunned for a moment, looking at the steamy tea and lowering his eyes, "Perhaps it was the emperor's expectation, or maybe Zhou Yu also kept the people in his heart. He didn't think much about it at the time, it was just a subconscious choice."

The prince sighed and touched Yiman's head, "Yiman, now that you have armor and a sharp sword, it doesn't matter if you put down your fangs, because the emperor is here."

Yiman looked away and said, "Brother Emperor, many people are already recording confessions. The officials of Dali Temple gave me some points. Do you want to take a look?"

"Alright."

After taking the confession, the two of them looked at it carefully for a while.

After reading four or five copies, Yiman frowned and said, "Whether or not Qianzhang Old Ghost was instructed to commit the crime is easy to confirm, as long as the testimonies are corroborated with each other. But the description of the master behind the scenes is so strange and different."

Some said he was a voluptuous woman, some said he was an old man with a hunchback, and some said he was a stalwart young man. Even the girls could not give accurate information.

"Don't worry, this person must be in a panic at this time. Let someone go and check the house again. Since this person has been to that house, he will definitely leave traces."

"Okay, then let me go and have a look. I think men and women, old people and young people have different daily necessities and habits."

The prince smiled and nodded, "This is exactly the reason. We can use physical evidence to support the testimony, as well as the corpse of the old ghost Qianzhang."

Speaking of Qianzhang Old Ghost, Yiman suddenly thought of Zhou Yu and looked away.

"Princess - a piece of jade was found on the broken corpse of the old ghost Qianzhang."

Lu Bo walked in holding something wrapped in three or four layers of cloth.

Is it strange that a thousand-foot old ghost has a piece of jade?

Just as Yiman was about to take it, Lu Bo dodged and said, "Princess, I'd better take it as a servant. This jade was almost chopped into the corpse. The smell is too great."

As expected, Yiman smelled the fishy smell and nodded, "Open the cloth and take a look. Did Chu Nan find any clues?"

"Master Chu said there seems to be a name on it."

name?

Yiman and the prince looked at each other and began to look carefully at the emerald green jade.

I saw that the jade was very transparent, with just a scratch on it, and it looked like new.It is engraved with the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and there is a small word "lang" in the lower right corner.

"Brother Imperial, why are the four gentlemen carved in one place?"

The prince's face became more and more cold, "This is the emblem of the Cui family."

Yiman suddenly looked at the prince and glanced at Lu Bo.Lu Bo immediately understood, placed the jade on the table, and retreated.

<divclass="contentadv">"Did the Cui family do it?"

The prince shook his head slightly, "I don't know, but Qianzhang Old Ghost is a member of the Jianghu family, and it is unlikely that he is a member of the Cui family."

Yiman frowned as he looked at the word 'Lang' on the jade plaque, "This person should be called Cui Lang, why does he sound so familiar?"

"Do you know Mrs. Cui?"

Yiman suddenly thought that she met the Xie brothers on the street, and wasn't it Cui Shizi who was dragging a woman on horseback on the street?

"I don't know him, but I have seen him and know who he is."

Seeing the prince's cold expression, Yiman hesitated and said: "Cui family, is it impossible to arrest them?"

"This jade plaque cannot be used as evidence."

"Can we arrest him if we have evidence?"

Seeing that the prince still didn't speak, Yiman sighed, "What will be the consequences if the Cui family is touched?"

"Forcing the aristocratic family to find the Cui family to resist, either to overthrow the reform, or to have the aristocratic family factions withdraw from the government, or"

"Princess, princess, you don't know that the people in the capital have already spread the word about you as a fairy who rescues people in distress. Every major restaurant and inn has written a book about your deeds for the people, even under the bridge. There are also children's stories It has become a nursery rhyme, and even business travelers who come to the capital on business know it. I think it will spread throughout the country in a few years."

Seeing that Yiman was unhappy, Lu Bo quickly stopped talking.

"Have you found out where Cui Lang is?"

Lu Bo nodded quickly, "I've asked about it. He has been staying at Cui Mansion and has never come out."

Later, Yiman went to visit the secret prostitution place in person. There was a long secret passage in a study room of the place. No wonder he was not caught that day.

Now that Cui Lang is hiding in Cui Mansion, he can't come directly to ask for help.

"Princess, all the criminal officials in Dali Temple Prison have finished recording their statements."

"How did you deal with it?"

Song Guo looked unhappy, "Those who did not commit murders only had their salaries reduced."

This is already very good, but this must also be an aggravated punishment.

Although Han Ze wanted to recruit people, the young minister of Dali Temple was from Chu Nan, and there was also Zhou Shilang who had his elbows turned outward.Both of them were higher in rank than him, so they must have stayed in prison.

After listening, Yiman sighed deeply, "Since that day, has Zhou Yu never been to the house?"

Lu Bo and Song Guo looked at each other and said, "Mr. Zhou is recovering from his injuries. How about I go to Zhou's house and ask?"

Yiman shook his head, "If he doesn't want to see me, he will definitely not find anyone when he goes to Zhou's house."

Lu Bo and Song Guo watched Zhou Yu's daily interactions with the eldest princess, and they had already thought of becoming their consort.

But now Mr. Zhou can't find anyone, which is really difficult.

"Let's go to Zhou Mansion. If he doesn't want to see me, we will stay at Zhou Mansion in the name of saying hello to Princess Rongyu."

"Yes, I will go and have someone prepare the carriage right now."

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Bai Yi coming in a hurry.

"Princess, for the cases of abducted women from various states and counties, the gangsters have been escorted here one after another. The first batch has been interrogated and sent to the Criminal Department."

Seeing Bai Yi's expression was different, Yiman stopped and asked, "What did you ask?"

Bai Yi looked solemn, "Some gangsters said that the person behind the scenes is the owner of a secret prostitution place in Beijing."
