"Did your mother also meet your eldest brother and see the princess?"
Jiang Zhuo narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, I saw it too. I also want to marry the princess."
As soon as Changfeng walked to the door, he heard Zhang Hangyu's incredible speech.
He would like to call Zhang Hangyu the bravest boy in Beijing.
"You're going to marry the princess just because your baby teeth have changed?" Jiang Zhuo pinched Zhang Hangyu's cheek. "You little brat wants to marry a lady."
Is Qingqing so famous?
Fortunately, he acted quickly and had already set his eyes on her in the dilapidated temple.
"Sir, there's a county in Yunzhou called Yang County. The county lieutenant reported that a shady workshop was recently shut down. It was full of..." Changfeng glanced at the curious Zhang Yuhang beside him, then leaned over to Jiang Zhuo's ear and whispered, "Human skin."
Jiang Zhuo's eyebrows twitched.
"The county lieutenant was unable to handle this case, so he reported it to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice then sent someone to the Dali Temple to ask you to go to Yang County."
"Why doesn't that old bastard, the Minister of Justice, go there himself?"
Isn’t he the one who loves to take over cases from the Dali Temple?
"It is said that the Minister broke his leg while leaving court."
Jiang Zhuo snorted coldly and rubbed Zhang Yuhang's head.
I guess they find it difficult and don't want to go.
"My father said that the people in the Ministry of Justice are all sickly."
Jiang Zhuo chuckled, "Your father is so bold."
Zhang Yuhang told Jiang Zhuo all the private things his father said that offended others, and he almost made public the fact that his father changed his underwear in time.
What a filial son!
"Get ready, let's go to Yang County."
"Master Xiao Jiang, can I go with you?" Zhang Yuhang asked with sparkling eyes.
He really wanted to witness with his own eyes how Lord Xiao Jiang tracked down the murderer!
"Go ask your father."
"What if my father doesn't allow it?"
"Then come to me again and I'll take you there secretly."
Zhang Yuhang's eyes lit up and he ran to find his father.
"Prepare the horses and set off immediately."
Jiang Zhuo left immediately after Zhang Yuhang left.
Before leaving, Jiang Zhuo sent a letter to Shen Qing, informing him of his itinerary, and then left in a hurry.
Yang County was a long way from the capital; even if one rode at top speed, it would still take at least three full days to reach the capital. The county lieutenant's expedited letter also took three days to reach the capital. Even more infuriating, the Ministry of Justice officials were so slow in their work that they wasted several days.
The situation was urgent and there was no time to lose. Jiang Zhuo knew that this matter could not be delayed and he had to hurry. Otherwise, more accidents might occur, leading to irreversible consequences.
"Sir, don't you want to bring..."
"This is a fight, not a picnic."
I just wanted to get Zhang Yuhang out of the way. Could it be that I really want to take him with me?
If he really took him there secretly, wouldn't his father be hanged in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Changfeng shrugged, kicked his horse's belly and caught up with Jiang Zhuo.
Yunzhou, nestled west of the capital, is a mountainous region. The people here live close to the mountains and rivers, building simple yet cozy homes at the foot of the mountains. In front of their homes, they cultivate small plots of farmland, planted with a variety of crops. Behind their homes, lush forests provide them with abundant timber and game.
Yang County is the largest county in Yunzhou, boasting a vast territory and abundant resources. Every year, it supplies the capital with a steady stream of goods, from specialty fruits and vegetables to exquisite handicrafts.
Not only that, Yang County is also rich in mineral resources. The high-quality ores mined provide important raw materials for the construction of the capital, contributing to its prosperity and development.
East Palace.
"Your Highness, Jiang Zhuo has already left the city."
Murong Zhi nodded and said, "Tell Chu Ting that it's time to start."
Chu Ting was the Minister of Punishment.
Shen Qing had just finished reading Jiang Zhuo's letter and hadn't even had time to warm it up when people from the Ministry of Justice came to the general's residence and said they wanted to arrest her.
"As soon as Jiang Zhuo left the capital, the Ministry of Justice came to arrest me. It's hard not to be suspicious."
Shen Qing thought for a moment, then got up and went to the front yard.
"We are here under the orders of the Minister to capture Shen Qing and bring him back for questioning. Please cooperate. Anyone who disobeys the order will be put to death."
"What crime?"
"Burning, killing, and looting."
It seems to be from the days when she was a bandit.
"Is there any evidence?" Shen Qing asked with a raised eyebrow.
"There is a witness. Please come back with us, my lady. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Witness? Wen Xingzhi? That's unlikely.
Could it be someone from Qingshan Temple? But she had personally identified and buried every one of those bodies.
Forty-seven people, not one less.
All we can say is that this witness is fake.
The Minister of Justice has always been in cahoots with Murong Zhi. I'm afraid Murong Zhi wants to do everything he can to get rid of her before going to Jinyang Kingdom.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice will definitely convict her quickly within three days.
Moreover, the Ministry of Justice only sent three people, so they should be keeping a low profile. I'm afraid Murong Zhi didn't report this to the emperor.
"Miss, you can't go! I'll go to the military camp to find the general now!" Qingge said anxiously.
If Shen Qing really went to the Ministry of Justice, not only would his reputation be damaged, but he would also suffer.
"Don't panic, go find the general and tell him..." Shen Qing whispered a few words in Qingge's ear, and then touched Qingge's head soothingly, "Don't alarm grandma, just say I went out for something."
"Okay..." Qingge nodded with tears in her eyes.
The lady can only rely on her.
Chen Qing turned and walked outside. Qingge immediately disguised herself and went to the military camp through a small back door in the general's mansion that no one knew about.
The lady said that we cannot go out through the main door and cannot be recognized.
