"Two people were taken away before I came back. Now there are five people found here, but they haven't left yet!"
"That's pretty fast!"
"Yes, some people from the government office are now going to notify the parents and relatives who have come to report the case!"
Those who arrived early are relatively close, while some that are more remote are not as fast. In addition, as information is not blocked, the current speed is still relatively fast.
Looking at this scene, Prince Jin felt that he had no way to vent his anger, and he felt that Tan Hongyu deserved to die.
"How many people were tortured to death by Tan Hongyu?"
Prefect Yan's face was filled with resentment and regret. "This... is just a rough estimate right now. There are nearly 20 to 30 people!"
All this is because he did nothing before.
If he had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate earlier, could he have saved more children?
When the King of Jin heard what Prefect Yan said, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What? So many people?"
...
...
"Humph! A total of forty-one lives were lost!" Xiao Ruoyi added angrily, "Thirty-eight children and three adults!"
Prefect Yan looked at Xiao Ruoyi in surprise, not understanding why Xiao Ruoyi knew that.
He interrogated the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and together with Tan Hongyu, the number mentioned just now was only ambiguous.
But now, Xiao Ruoyi knows the numbers better than Tan Hongyu himself!
In fact, it can be said that Tan Hongyu has no idea how many people he has killed.
Because in Tan Hongyu's mind, those people were like crushed ants and were not worth mentioning at all, so he didn't know how many people he had killed!
After all, who would be so stupid as to record how many people they have killed? Except for some cruel criminals who have a purpose.
"Little princess, how did you know?"
Xiao Ruoyi straightened her chest and raised her chin proudly, "Of course I can see it!"
"You saw that?"
Prefect Yan stared in surprise and looked at Xiao Ruoyi in disbelief.
Can you see this? Why can't he see it?
Seeing Prefect Yan's shocked expression, Prince Jin couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He naturally knew why Xiao Ruoyi could see that.
Because my niece was the most powerful master of mysticism in her previous life, and her fortune-telling and physiognomy skills were first-rate.
“Yeah!”
"Little princess, how did you know that?"
Xiao Ruoyi raised her chubby little finger and bent it slightly, pointing to her own big, beautiful grape-like eyes, and said in a baby voice, "I can tell with my eyes!"
Yan Fuyin: "..."
Why do I feel like I'm being laughed at by a three-and-a-half-year-old kid?
“Puchi! Hahahaha…” Prince Jin couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
Prefect Yan looked at Prince Jin speechlessly, feeling even more ashamed!
He is so stupid!
Although Xiao Ruoyi gave specific numbers, it doesn't mean that these specific numbers are true! Maybe they are just guesses?
Thinking of this, Prefect Yan felt relieved and felt that this must be the case.
Prefect Yan thought he had found the reason and stopped dwelling on the matter. "I will continue investigating this matter! The government office has already dug up the bodies of those killed by Tan Hongyu under the guidance of the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Yes!" Prince Jin nodded and solemnly instructed, "Tan Hongyu has implicated the Prime Minister. I think my father should have told you what to do about this matter, right?"
Emperor Donglin got angry about this during the morning court session today.
If the Prime Minister had not been ill at home and unable to get up, he would probably have come to beg Emperor Donglin for his disappointing son.
However, even if they came, they would be scolded by Emperor Donglin.
There were some people who originally spoke well of the prime minister, hoping that he would be dealt with leniently, but Emperor Donglin found fault with them, scolded them severely, and even put them in solitary confinement and fined them.
The meaning is very clear, Emperor Donglin will not let Tan Hongyu off easily.
Tan Hongyu is really going to die this time!
But the Prime Minister will not be without descendants, he still has other sons and daughters!
"I have already told you! I will definitely be impartial and will not give the Prime Minister any chance!"
Prince Jin nodded in satisfaction, "Yes! Very good! I hope you will not disappoint me and my brother!"
"With the Emperor and Prince Jin here, I will do my best!"
To be honest, if there was no help from those above, Prefect Yan would not have the courage and ability to go against the Prime Minister.
Now Emperor Donglin might be waiting for this incident to attack the Prime Minister!
He can't fall behind, otherwise, he will be the one being attacked!
The children and parents who were reminiscing about the past saw Prefect Yan and his party arrive and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Master Yan. If it weren't for you, our child... I'm afraid..."
Prefect Yan hurriedly stopped them, "No, no, no, I just did what I should do. Besides, the one who really saved your child was not me, but these two, the current Prince Jin and the little princess!"
The people looked up and looked in the direction that Prefect Yan pointed, and saw Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi dressed in luxurious robes.
Prince Jin didn't dare to take the credit. What's more, his plan was the same as Emperor Donglin's, which was to push Xiao Ruoyi to the front and establish Xiao Ruoyi's status among the people.
So, the King of Jin immediately waved his hands and explained to everyone, "No, it wasn't actually me who saved them! If you want to thank someone, thank the little princess! She is your savior. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known they would be trapped in the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
When these people came to identify their sons, they were overjoyed to see that their sons were still alive, and they did not even ask their sons who had saved them.
Now the children immediately spoke up for Xiao Ruoyi, especially the children who were treated by Xiao Ruoyi.
"Your Excellency is right, it was the little princess who saved us!"
"Yes, the little princess is amazing!"
"Father and mother, Lord Yan was right. It was the little princess who saved me!"
"Also, the little princess applied medicine and bandaged the wounds on my body!"
"The little princess is so awesome! She scared the bad guys so badly!"
Seeing that their parents doubted the truthfulness of Lord Yan's words, some older children immediately spoke up for Xiao Ruoyi, and then other people also spoke up to testify for Xiao Ruoyi.
The children completely forgot that Prince Jin also came down with Xiao Ruoyi.
Anyway, they just thought that Princess Xiao Ruoyi was so powerful, like a fairy who descended from heaven, so they simply regarded her as their savior.
As for the King of Jin, they simply treated him as air and said they couldn't see him!
Although Prince Jin did not intend to take credit for himself, he felt numb when he was ignored by these children. Some of them were carried up by him, but they all ignored him and only recognized Xiao Ruoyi. Prince Jin felt numb all over.
