She frowned slightly, and listening to the anxious tone of the voice on the other end, she was afraid that the young man was not a simple person.
Thinking of this, she leaned against the corner and began to ponder.
Maybe this is a breakthrough for me to escape.
The young master's condition is getting worse and worse.
Who is the young master? Is he related to them?
Because of Su Mengyan's disappearance, Situ Yao has been leading people to search for Su Mengyan's whereabouts day and night.
He recently moved directly into the government office, waiting for news about Su Mengyan at any time.
Even if the county government was indifferent to the girl's missing case at first, now that the prince has moved into his own county government office, how can he be negligent?
All the old cases and trivial matters were also turned up, and many people who abducted and trafficked young girls were caught one after another.
The county government didn't expect so many people to be involved, and their expression looking at Situ Yao seemed a bit forced.
Your Highness the Crown Prince will not punish himself, right?
As expected, when Situ Yao saw so many human traffickers, his expression froze.
He tilted his head and glared at the county government office, looking extremely angry. "How do you manage to be such a responsible official? You're not handling so many cases. What kind of cases do you usually investigate?"
Seeing that Situ Yao seemed to be angry, the county magistrate also broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly apologized to him.
"Your Highness, this is my fault. I have already sent people to dig out all the backups and will conduct a thorough investigation!"
After hearing this, Situ Yao's anger subsided a little.
He glanced over and glared at the county magistrate, saying, "Carefully examine each and every file! If there's even a single mistake, you'll lose your official position!"
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately nodded in fear and trepidation, and watched Situ Yao leave.
The yamen runners who followed him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too cruel."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate also sighed, "A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. Let's quickly investigate the case!"
After hearing this, the man nodded and went to notify his clerk to go check the files together.
Cui Mixue followed Situ Zhao, and all she could think about was the time when Situ Yao solved the case of kidnapping a young girl.
This incident is definitely an opportunity to win the hearts of the people and the favor of the emperor.
If he is caught, he will definitely be highly valued by the emperor.
Thinking of this, she tilted her head and looked at Situ Zhao beside her.
I reminded him several times, but he always made things worse. I don’t know if this attempt will work.
Thinking of this, she sighed.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
Situ Zhao was thinking about how to please the emperor when he returned, when he suddenly heard Cui Mixue sigh. He then turned his head and looked at her nervously.
Cui Mixue finally agreed to be with him. He has always been very cautious in getting along with others, for fear of making others unhappy.
"Nothing, just remembered something."
Cui Mixue looked at Situ Zhao, a hint of worry in her eyes. Even if she knew how things were going, what would it matter? She felt that even if she told Situ Zhao, it would all be in vain.
Situ Zhao couldn't bear to see Cui Mixue like this, and subconsciously held her hand tightly, "What's wrong with you? If there is anything that makes you unhappy, just tell me, I will definitely solve it for you."
Cui Mixue glanced over at Situ Zhao, who looked sincere. She made up her mind, "Let's turn around and go back to the post station."
Upon hearing this, Situ Zhao's expression turned colder. He frowned and looked at Cui Mixue, "What are you doing back at the post station?"
Thinking of how Cui Mixue seemed to like Situ Yao very much before, his heart began to lift.
Could it be that Cui Mixue wants to go back to find Situ Yao?
Seeing Situ Zhao's unhappy expression, Cui Mixue said, "I left something at the post station and want to go get it. Can you come with me?"
Having experienced her previous life, Cui Mixue naturally knew what would happen next.
She had heard a little about the missing girl's case in her previous life, and had also heard a little about the final result of the investigation.
At the beginning, Situ Yao used this case to shine in front of the emperor.
Thinking of this, she tilted her head and looked at Situ Zhao. If Situ Zhao could take over this case this time and steal the limelight from Situ Yao...
Situ Zhao frowned and looked at Cui Mixue, obviously reluctant.
Situ Yao asked his father to stay at the post station to look for his missing concubine, but was severely scolded by his father. In the end, he was not even allowed to stay with anyone.
If I really go back rashly, especially because Cui Mixue lost something, I'm afraid I will be scolded by my father.
Seeing Situ Zhao looking at her in embarrassment, Cui Mixue's heart sank and she looked at the person in front of her with a complicated expression.
Situ Zhao noticed Cui Mixue's gaze, and he made up his mind and took a deep breath.
"I see."
"What do you know?" Cui Mixue asked after seeing this.
"I'll go inform my father right away and go back to the post station with you."
Cui Mixue didn't expect Situ Zhao to agree so readily, and she smiled.
It seems that Situ Zhao is not a hopeless person!
Situ Zhao did what he said and shouted to the driver to stop.
Upon hearing this, the coachman immediately stopped the carriage and looked at Situ Zhao in confusion as he got off the carriage and walked towards the emperor.
When the eunuch saw Situ Zhao coming, he also stopped the carriage and informed the emperor.
The emperor was resting with his eyes closed in the carriage when he was suddenly interrupted. He looked over with some dissatisfaction, "What's the matter?"
Situ Zhao knelt down before the emperor and said, "Father, I have a favor to ask."
The emperor opened his eyes slightly and looked towards Situ Zhao. "What's the matter?"
He seemed to be annoyed by the interruption and rubbed his temples impatiently.
Cui Mixue followed Situ Zhao and was also a little nervous.
If Situ Zhao was disliked by the emperor because of what he proposed, I'm afraid Situ Zhao would also ignore him, right?
Situ Zhao looked at Cui Mixue who was very nervous, then shook her hand and gave her a calming expression.
"Father, I've been feeling a lot of heart palpitations on the way here. I'm really worried about my brother being alone at the post station, so..."
After hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Situ Zhao.
On the way, he kept wondering whether he was too cruel to Situ Yao.
Just when he was thinking about whether to send some troops back, Situ Zhao came, which gave him a way out.
