"Each of you three should write down how many wealthy merchants there are in this city, whether they are colluding with the prefect and his men, and list all the evidence of their crimes.
After listing them, I will mitigate your crimes based on your testimony." Xiao Ling'er looked at the three people and ordered.
The two servants looked at Gu Yunting hesitantly. In their hearts, they thought that the second prince should make the decision.
Only the girl in red walked to the table not far away with pen and paper without saying a word, sat down and started writing.
"Can't you hear her orders?" Gu Yunting looked at the two servants and shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes!" The two noticed Gu Yunting's gloomy and unhappy face, and fearfully took paper and pen and quickly moved to the table to start writing.
After about half an hour, three people came over one after another with the lawsuit.
Xiao Ling'er first took the girl's complaint, which was densely packed with names and what they had done.
Not much was written about the two servants, only one or two of their names were briefly mentioned.
Xiao Ling'er sneered. These two servants were being clever and were still leaving a way out for themselves.
"Gu Yunting, take these two people to the prison and lock them up. As for her, can I release her without charge?"
"Of course, Ling'er, you can do whatever you want. No need to ask for my opinion." Gu Yunting looked at Xiao Ling'er and responded lovingly.
When the girl in red heard Xiao Ling'er's words, she looked up in surprise, her eyes full of confusion.
"Have you ever hurt anyone on your own initiative?" Xiao Ling'er asked the girl in red.
"No, I have never hurt anyone on my own initiative." The girl in red shook her head.
"Okay, you are acquitted and can go." Xiao Ling'er said again.
"Plop." The girl in red suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Ling'er and said anxiously, "Miss, I am willing to serve you like a slave."
Gu Yunting frowned and looked at the girl in red with displeasure and wariness.
"Why, why do you want to follow me?" Xiao Ling'er asked puzzledly.
"Because I want to be as capable as the girl and do something for the people." Xiao Ling'er smiled after hearing what the girl in red said.
"Okay, you can follow me, but I'll give you a trial period first. After a month, you can follow me once you pass the test."
"Okay, thank you, Master...Miss." The girl in red didn't expect Xiao Ling'er to agree so quickly, and she immediately knelt down excitedly to express her gratitude.
"Get up. By the way, what's your name?" Xiao Ling'er remembered that she still didn't know the girl's name, so she asked again.
"Miss, my name is Ye Wanwan." Ye Wanwan replied.
"Well, it sounds nice." Xiao Ling'er praised. She thought this name was better than her own.
"Ling'er, what should we do next?" Gu Yunting deliberately interrupted. He felt a little uncomfortable. Ling'er's attitude towards that woman made him feel a little irritated.
Ling'er had never treated anyone else so specially, and she even agreed to let the woman stay with her.
Xiao Ling'er didn't know that Gu Yunting was jealous, and he was jealous of a woman.
After hearing Gu Yun's question, she thought for a while and asked, "Gu Yunting, how many days will it take for Gu Nan and the others to arrive?"
"It will probably take another three days." Gu Yunting answered truthfully.
"We can't wait for three days. The flood can't wait. Let's capture the general first." Xiao Ling'er frowned and said.
"Miss, the general is lying in ambush around the city with two thousand soldiers, waiting to take it down as soon as the disaster relief funds and food arrive." Ye Wanwan told her what she knew.
