Chapter 442: Can’t find the person, just let him be dealt with as you wish!

Nankangbo Mansion.

Meng Xing almost crawled to the front of Nankangbo's wife Sima Ru, and knelt down as soon as he entered the room, "Mother-in-law, save me!"

When Meng Xing heard that the crown prince had issued an edict to restore Prince Xuan's position as the chief of the Yufusi and put him in charge of trying the Han family case, he knew that his son was doomed.

The only person who can save him now is his mother-in-law, the queen's sister.

Sima Ru snorted as she drank her tea. "Now that things have gotten serious, you came to me? When you were out there playing with other women, why didn't you think about my Dan'er?"

If he hadn't doted on that concubine too much, allowing her brothers to bully others by taking advantage of their power, how could things have gotten to this point?

Meng Xing quickly confessed with tears, "I was blinded by greed, I'm sorry Danmei, I really deserve to die, but I don't want to make Danmei a widow..."

"Please give me a chance to reform, my dear mother-in-law. I will definitely treat Danmei well for the rest of my life!"

Sima Ru had a sullen look on her face, but she wanted to continue hammering.

His daughter couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly ran out, "Then swear that you will kill that bastard named Liu when you get back!"

When Meng Xing heard this, he immediately promised, "I swear, I will kill her when I get back. Not only that, I will never touch another woman again!"

Although he did dote on Liu, how could his doting on a plaything be compared with his own career and life?

What's more, even if he didn't take any action, King Xuan would definitely not let the Liu siblings off easily.

After receiving the guarantee, Luo Mengdan's dissatisfaction with her husband disappeared. She immediately knelt down with Meng Xing and begged, "Mother, please save my husband. I don't want to be a widow."

Sima Ru sighed. Her daughter had just been crying bitterly because Meng Xing stood up for a lowly concubine. She had been planning to take this opportunity to warn Meng Xing, but before she even started, her daughter had already forgiven him.

She had suffered a broken body during childbirth when she was young, and now she only had this one daughter. What else could she do except get used to it?

"You can just hide in the mansion. If King Xuan comes to arrest you, I have my own way to deal with it."

Meng Xing couldn't help but be delighted, "Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you, Danmei!"

Before she finished her words, a servant came in hurriedly to report, "Madam, something bad has happened. Prince Xuan has brought people to arrest you!"

"How come you came so quickly?" Meng Xing's face turned pale.

Sima Ru was calm. She immediately told the nanny to take the person to the backyard. She tidied her clothes and hair and went out in person to greet Xiao Jinxuan.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan has arrived. Please forgive me for not welcoming you in person. But now that Master Bo is not at home, there are only a few women at home. I'm afraid it's not convenient to entertain Your Highness."

Hearing such obvious words of rejection, Xiao Jinxuan looked indifferent, "It doesn't matter if the Marquis of Nankang is not at home. I am not here as a guest. Since the Marquis's house is full of women and it is inconvenient, please ask Madam to hand over Meng Xing, so that my men won't be too reckless in their search and disturb everyone."

Although the tone was not harsh, it contained an intimidating aura that brooked no room for argument.

Sima Ru narrowed her eyes in anger, "Does King Xuan really not show any mercy at all?"

Xiao Jinxuan said coldly, "That's my duty."

Sima Ru gritted her teeth and said, "Although the Nankang Marquis' Mansion has not been involved in state affairs for a long time, it will not allow anyone to bully us at will! What if Prince Xuan can't find the person?"

Xiao Jinxuan said: "If we can't find the person, let him be dealt with as he pleases."

"Okay!" Sima Ru stepped aside, "Housekeeper, open the gates to each courtyard and let Prince Xuan search!"

"Search!" Ling Xiao led everyone and rushed into the mansion immediately.

Soon, all places were searched.

"no."

"no."

“Neither here.”

"Will he run away?"

"Impossible! The defense outside the palace is tight, he can't escape even if he has wings!"

"There's one place I haven't searched yet..."

"Where?"

The subordinate muttered to Ling Xiao twice, and Ling Xiao suddenly felt a headache.

He hurried to Xiao Jinxuan's side and whispered a few words into his master's ear.

Sima Ru drank tea and said slowly, "Did you catch him?"

Xiao Jinxuan shook his head, "No."

She sneered, "Then please keep your promise, Prince Xuan, and take your people and get out of my house immediately!"

Xiao Jinxuan said: "Don't panic, there is still one place that has not been searched."

"Where?"

"Madam, why are you asking when you already know the answer? Your daughter has been bathing in her private room behind closed doors."

"Heh," Sima Ru sneered, "My daughter can do whatever she wants in our own house. Is this against the law?"

Xiao Jinxuan's voice suddenly became cold, "I have no right to control what she wants to do. But if she shields the criminal, it will be an even greater crime!"

Sima Ru slammed the table and stood up, "Threatening me? Let me tell you, Xiao Jinxuan, others may be afraid of you, but I am not. I was not brought up to be scared. If you dare to intrude and ruin my daughter's reputation today, I will also go and beat the drum to report it. If I don't sue you, Xiao Jinxuan, I will lose!"

From the very beginning, Sima Ru knew that she could not stop Xiao Jinxuan. She also knew that since he dared to come to her house to arrest someone, he would definitely surround the area and not give anyone a chance to escape.

So she chose to take a risk.

If Xiao Jinxuan cared about her daughter's reputation, he would not dare to let anyone break into the house by force.

If he allowed someone to break in and arrest the person, he could also immediately go to the palace to sue Xiao Jinxuan, turning him from the presiding judge to the defendant, and thus have the presiding judge of the case be replaced.

As long as Xiao Jinxuan is not responsible, there is still room for manipulation and maneuver in this case.

During the stalemate, several slender figures walked in from outside, "Meet King Xuan!"

Xiao Jinxuan's brows relaxed slightly, "Get up."

Sima Ru looked a little surprised when she saw them, "What are these..."

"The urge to take care of the urge."

"Why is there a female detective?"

"Who told Madam that the Yufu Department only has male arrest officers?" Ling Xiao raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, "My grandfather used to be in charge of dealing with officials from various families. He dealt with the wives of the nobles too much, so he specially asked someone to create a team of female arrest officers to prevent situations like this."

The matter was decided by Emperor Zhaowen, who gave them a certain number of quotas and official positions. However, since it was not easy to recruit female detectives, the matter progressed slowly, so much so that everyone gradually forgot about it and thought it had not been successfully established.

In fact, when Xiao Jinxuan handed over Yu Fusi, he had already made full preparations. Not only did he take away various important files, he also kept this female arrest team a secret.

Now, it finally comes in handy.

Xiao Jinxuan ordered, "Catch him!"

"yes!"

A group of female detectives acted quickly and broke directly into Luo Mengdan's lady's room.

There were bursts of screams and insults coming from inside, and soon a man covered in sweat was dragged out by several female soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the prisoner Meng Xing has been captured!"

It is said that the man was pulled out of the bathtub. He thought that the people from the Fusi Company would not dare to force his way in. He was so happy and proud that he was planning to play in the water with his wife to enhance their relationship.

Xiao Jinxuan said expressionlessly, "Take it away!"

A group of people came and left quickly.

Sima Ru looked at the disappearing figures and finally couldn't hold on any longer. She sat paralyzed on the chair, "How could this happen... How could this happen..."

"Mother, mother..." Luo Mengdan casually put on a piece of clothing and ran out crying, "You must save my husband, save my husband..."

Sima Ru said angrily, "Do you think I don't want to save him? Xiao Jinxuan even has a female detective, who knows how many tricks he has up his sleeve?"

The company has changed hands several times, has no one noticed this?

Why didn’t I realize before that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan was so well hidden!

"What should I do...what should I do..." Luo Mengdan cried until her eyes were red and she was heartbroken.

Seeing her daughter's state, Sima Ru sighed heavily and said, "I'll go and ask your aunt, the queen."

Luo Mengdan sobbed and asked, "The prince's cousin has already given up on my husband and doesn't care about him anymore. Will my aunt be willing to help?"

Sima Ru's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "She owes me this, she dare not not help!"
