Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 424 Preparing to Return to Beijing

"Yes, Your Highness, as the defendant, you need to return to the capital with me to accept the questioning of His Majesty."

Princess Yuehua looked at Qin Shi with deep eyes, and after a moment she asked with a smile, "When will Qin Shaoqing return to the capital?"

"tomorrow."

When Princess Yuehua heard that she would be returning to the capital the next day, she immediately concluded that Qin Shi must have found out something.

But he had been to the princess's mansion these past two days, and he had seen all the investigations, so he probably didn't find anything useful...

Princess Yuehua felt slightly uneasy and couldn't help asking, "Did Qin Shaoqing finish his investigation so quickly?"

"Now that we have searched the places that need to be searched and interrogated the people that need to be interrogated, it is time to return to the capital and report."

"Has Shaoqing Qin come to a conclusion regarding the lawsuit against me?" Princess Yuehua asked.

"No." Qin Shi thought, whether there is a conclusion or not, it depends on how His Majesty decides, "I will just go back and inform Your Majesty of what I have investigated."

Even though Qin Shi said this, Princess Yuehua still felt uneasy.

"Your Highness the Princess, Lady Wen'an, please pack your luggage as soon as possible. We will set off tomorrow." Qin Shi spoke again.

"I want to go too?" Princess Wen'an asked in surprise.

"The county lady is also among the defendants."

At this time in Sujiazhuang, Cui Yuan asked all the families in the village, and everyone said that they only knew that Princess Yuehua had captured someone, but they didn't know whether the person was dead or not.

Moreover, regarding the murder of the Su family, they all said it was the bandits who did it.

The two families whose items were stolen also asked him whether the government could catch the thieves, and if not, whether they would be compensated for their losses.

In short, there are no useful clues at all.

When they were asked whether they were willing to go to the capital to testify that Princess Yuehua had arrested someone, they all shook their heads in fear.

They knew very well that the people would not fight against the officials, let alone the royal family.
