"I am late, please forgive me, Princess Zhan." Liu Qian, the governor of Kyoto, bowed and bowed.

Ning Luo said lightly: "It's not too late, Mr. Liu. Qingguo's spies have been captured by my princess. You just need to take them back and enforce the law impartially."

Liu Qian's eyes wandered back and forth between Xie Qingwu and Zhang Sanniang, and he asked, "Which one is the secret agent of the Qing Kingdom?"

"Yes, I have found the waistband from her." Ning Luo handed the waistband to Liu Qian and pointed at Zhang Sanniang.

She was not prepared to hand over the secret letter, and kept it for herself to use to manipulate the Xie family and the governor of Kyoto.

Liu Qian was slightly relieved when he heard this.

The maids of the Xie family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Ning Luo pointed at Xie Qingwu and said sternly: "That one is a collaborator."

Hearing this, Liu Qian pretended to be stupid: "Princess Zhan, that is Miss Xie's family. It is impossible for her to be a collaborator, right?"

Xie Qingwu went to the palace many times to attend palace banquets. The governor of Kyoto was a third-rank official. He had seen her several times when the emperor entertained hundreds of officials, so he naturally knew her.

Last year, the second son of his family wanted to marry him, but was declined by the Xie family.

After Xie Yuan was sent to the East Palace as the crown princess, in case something changed, Xie Qingwu was kept to be given to the crown prince as a concubine in the future to ensure that the next queen would still come from the Xie family.

Therefore, even though he was a third-rank official, Liu Qian did not dare to offend the powerful Xie family.

"Isn't it? These official ladies can testify that Xie Qingwu knows this Qingguo secret agent."

Ning Luo glanced at them and asked, "Really?"

These wealthy ladies nodded sharply in unison: "Yes."

Lin Junyao was the most angry. When she saw that the governor of Kyoto was deliberately protecting Xie Qingwu, she specifically testified: "Master Liu, it was Xie Qingwu who invited us to Yunshang Pavilion to see the clothes today. He said that we would definitely see defective fabrics being sold here. Let us come It was a joke, but I didn’t expect that she herself was colluding with Qingguo’s spies to frame Princess Zhan.”

If she doesn't testify against Xie Qingwu today, I'm afraid Xie Qingwu will frame her again.

You must put yourself to death and survive.

"You..." Liu Qian hated the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel, and ordered the Yamen servants: "Take them all back to the Yamen and interrogate them severely!"

"Yes!"

Several government officials stepped forward and pressed their swords solemnly: "Ladies, please come with us."

These official ladies had never seen such a posture before. They were humiliated and all were taken away crying.

Zhang Sanniang and Xie Qingwu who were on the ground were escorted separately.

Of course, the servants of all the official ladies have already rushed back to their homes to report the matter.

"Princess Zhan, I will take them back to handle the case first." Liu Qian said goodbye with a sad face.

"Master Liu, you must enforce the law impartially." Ning Luo reminded him with deep meaning: "Criminals that endanger national security cannot be let off lightly, let alone bend the law for personal gain because they involve powerful people from aristocratic families."

"I will accompany you on a hunt in the future, and I will definitely report this case to my father, so that no one will repeat the same mistake in the future, causing harm to the country and the people."

"Yes...yes." Liu Qian responded hurriedly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Although the case is difficult to handle, you must report it truthfully and do not be afraid of the strong and the weak." Ning Luo changed the topic: "A few days ago, I heard a rumor among the people that an escort named Wu Chuan reported to you The magistrate of Qi County was corrupt and perverted the law. Instead of verifying the truth, your government office sent the accuser to jail. Is this true?"

"This...Wei Chen will go check it out right away." Liu Qian responded with a guilty conscience.

"Go ahead, eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. A seventh-grade county magistrate is corrupt and perverts the law. No one dares to deal with the case in Kyoto. It shows that someone has gone too far. If my father knew about it, he would not be lenient."

"Yes, I will enforce the law impartially."

Liu Qianzhan responded cautiously, not daring to delay for a moment, and immediately took people back to the government office.

Ning Luo turned around and gave orders to the female workers.

"Everyone who enters the store today will be rewarded with a silk scarf to encourage them to help me catch the Qing Kingdom spy."

"Yes."

The people watching happily received the reward, and when they went out they would naturally spread the word about what they saw and heard today.

It seems that what happened today cannot be suppressed.

Liu Qian went back to handle the case with a heavy heart.

I originally thought I could catch a Qingguo spy and commit crimes, but I didn't expect to bring back several hot potatoes.

What a bad time!

Ning Luo finished handling the affairs of Yunshang Pavilion and asked Qi Hu to drive the carriage to Ning Mansion.

One is to check whether the bodyguards who are former bodyguards are fulfilling their duties, and the other is to visit Ayiguli, the former princess of Dawan Kingdom.

After she checked the income account book of the farm under Ning's name compiled by Zhang Jingjie at Ning Mansion, someone outside happily came to report it.

"Brother Wu has been released!"

"Qi Hu, go pick up Wu Chuan."

"Yes."
