Governor Fang heard the Eighth Prince speak and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what happened?"
"Just now, on our way home, we hit a man and killed him. The driver said that the man rushed in front of the carriage and that he got in time, preventing the horse from hitting him. However, the man died on the spot."
"That might not seem strange, perhaps because the driver couldn't see clearly. But the strange thing is this: when we entered the dungeon, the jailer separated us from the driver and took us to this cell for the most vicious criminals. As soon as these people saw us, they came right up to us, ready to kill us."
Governor Fang and Prefect Zhou were not fools. This matter was full of strangeness. It was absolutely impossible to say that there was no trickery. Hua Ziyun was a prince. Perhaps someone wanted to kill him to silence him.
This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly.
"Investigate, you must investigate." Governor Fang said sternly.
If anything happened to the Eighth Prince at his hands, his life would be in danger.
Prefect Zhou was also sweating profusely. Apart from the prince's grandson, there was no one else who could be called "Young Master" by Governor Fang.
Prefect Zhou secretly groaned in his heart, wondering why the incident happened in his territory.
"Bring the jailer up." ordered Magistrate Zhou.
Hua Ziyun added, "Bring the bailiffs who arrested us here as well."
They arrived as soon as the accident happened, which was a bit too fast.
"Yes, yes, yes." Magistrate Zhou responded repeatedly and immediately ordered, "Go and bring the bailiffs here."
Prefect Zhou said to Hua Ziyun and Governor Fang, "Master, the dungeon is not clean. How about we try the interrogation somewhere else?"
Hua Ziyun glanced at the dungeon and said, "I think this is a good place for interrogation."
As soon as he opened his mouth, they naturally didn't dare to say anything else. Prefect Zhou immediately ordered his men to clean up the interrogation room and wait for Hua Ziyun to come over.
Bei Yutang and Daixiang, who were waiting outside, saw a group of yamen runners carrying tea and snacks into the dungeon, and then saw another group of yamen runners being hurriedly taken into the dungeon.
Dai Xiang was suspicious, "Sister Mu, did something happen in prison?"
"Yes, there is a situation."
Dai Xiang looked worried, "Will the young master and Hua Xiao be okay?"
"They will be fine. It's others who are in trouble." Bei Yutang said softly.
Dai Xiang saw the calm expression on her face and felt puzzled, but did not ask any more questions.
In the interrogation room, Governor Fang and Prefect Zhou asked Hua Ziyun to sit in the presiding judge's seat, but Hua Ziyun refused.
"I am a white-clad person, and this position is not suitable for me. This place is under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhou. Since the incident occurred here, it is natural that he should be the most appropriate person to judge it."
When Governor Fang heard the Eighth Prince say this, he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he looked at him with admiration.
When Governor Zhou heard this, cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
"Your subordinate, your subordinate..."
Before he could finish his words, Governor Fang said, "Since the young master asked you to do it, then do it."
When Governor Fang said this, Prefect Zhou naturally didn't dare to refuse and sat down in the presiding judge's seat. Governor Fang sat beside him as an observer. As for the other two chairs, Hua Ziyun and Xiao Zimo did not sit there.
"It's not easy for us, the people involved in the case, to sit still."
Hua Ziyun nodded, agreeing with this.
Soon, the jailer, yamen runners and the middle-aged couple who had lost their son were brought over.
