"Reporting to Prime Minister Su, all the men in black in the tunnel have been wiped out. A total of sixty-four mature men were rescued from the underground iron gate. They were confirmed to be the men who disappeared before. The mutilated limbs found in the Huiyun River case The broken arms all belong to these people. According to what they said, the broken arms and limbs were torn off by the tigers during their fight with the tigers." Jizi reported back truthfully.
After hearing Ji Zizhen's words, not only Ji Liang but also Su Muyun, who had always been calm and composed, changed his expression. He said coldly: "Have we ever found out who the culprit is!"
Ji Zizhen said with a serious look on his face: "This official is incompetent. I still don't know who instigated this matter."
"This matter is no child's play, Ji Shaoqing."
"I'm here!" Ji Zizhen said, cupping his hands.
"I order you to solve the case within five days and bring these cruel, wolf-like, and vicious people to justice!"
"Your Majesty, take your orders!"
Not far from the earthen house, Ye Yun saw brightly lit lights in front of him, and soldiers and government officials came and went from time to time. Thinking of the masked man in Chu Ci's hands, he paused and said: "There are many people in front of you, so I didn't prevent the news from leaking. Chu Ci." , you take this person back home immediately."
"Yes!" The figure flashed, and Chu Ci disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Ye Yun went to the Tsuchiya.
When Ye Yun came back, Ji Liang was asking Ji Zizhen about her whereabouts. When he learned that she was chasing the man in black alone, Lao Gao suddenly became very angry and shouted that Ji Zizhen was not doing things properly: "Zi Zi Really, the eldest princess has a golden body, how can you act so unsafely, if anything happens to the eldest princess, you and I, my father and my son, will be completely responsible for your death!"
Ji Liang was talking enthusiastically, but unexpectedly a chuckle came from behind him. Just when Ji Liang was about to scold someone for being so bold, he saw Ye Yun walking out from behind wearing men's clothing.
Glancing at Ji Zizhen who was kneeling on the ground being scolded, Ye Yun turned to look at Ji Liang and said, "Lord Ji, please calm down. The situation was urgent. I ordered Ji Shaoqing to stay and protect everyone. If Lord Ji feels there is anything wrong, , if you don’t take precautions, it will all be blamed on me.”
Ji Liang's expression paused, and he bowed and said, "I don't dare!"
"I know Lord Ji cares about me, but this is not the time to dwell on this. Over the past few days, the Japanese Palace's secret inspections have revealed that this matter was done by Yongxing Pawnshop and Fuyuan Gambling House. Now that Fuyuan Gambling House has been shut down, taking advantage of Yongxing Pawnshop We haven’t received the news yet, Lord Ji should immediately send troops to arrest everyone at Yongxing Pawnshop and bring them to justice!”
"What the eldest princess said is true, Zizhen. You should immediately take people back to the city and go to the Yongxing pawnshop, and escort all the criminals back to the Dali Temple prison to await their punishment."
"Yes!" Ji Zizhen stood up, then got on his horse and said to several Dali Temple officials behind him: "You will follow me back to the city to arrest the important criminals."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zizhen rode ahead, and the Dali Temple government officials trotted to follow.
Seeing Ji Zizhen and others leaving, Ji Liang said: "Elder Princess, there are still some matters that have not been dealt with at the moment. I need to go over and see if I can send someone to escort the eldest princess back to the city now that it is getting late."
"No need to bother, Lord Ji, just go about your business first."
Seeing this, Ji Liang didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to Ye Yun, he went to work.
At this moment, apart from the two soldiers stationed in front of the carriage, only Ye Yun and Su Muoyun were left.
Looking up at the silent Su Muyun, Ye Yun said: "It's even more revealing, why does Su Xiangyi, a weak scholar, come here."
Hearing this, Su Muyun looked at Ye Yun and said calmly: "Wei Chen happened to meet Master Ji at the entrance of the military department and came to borrow troops. Hearing that it was for the disappearance case, he came to take a look."
"Oh?" Ye Yun raised his eyebrows: "I didn't know that Su Xiang was also interested in solving the case."
"Your Highness is overly worried," Su Muyun said: "The so-called eating the emperor's salary is to share the emperor's worries. The humble minister is just doing his duty."
Facing Su Muyun's still eyes, Ye Yun slightly raised the corner of his mouth, looked away, glanced at Ji Liang who was still busy in the distance, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.
"Your Highness, please slow down!"
After taking a few steps, Su Muyun's voice came from behind. Ye Yun paused, turned around and said, "Is there anything else, Mr. Su?"
"Your Highness wants to return to the city?" Su Muyun asked.
Ye Yun nodded: "Yes."
"It's dark now, and this place is still some distance from the city gate. If His Highness doesn't mind it, why not let the ministers escort His Highness back to the palace." As he said that, Su Muyun also looked at the carriage behind him, which meant that it was obvious. but.
No matter what, it is better to sit in a car than to walk in the cold wind.
"In this way, Mr. Lao Su will give me a ride."
"Your Highness, please!" Su Muyun stepped forward and lifted the curtain himself.
At this point, Ye Yun thanked him and stepped onto the carriage.
Putting down the car curtain, Su Muyun said to the soldier beside him: "Go and tell Mr. Ji that the truth and the eldest princess are returning to the city first."
"yes!"
After the soldiers left, Su Muyun got into the carriage. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Ye Yun taking out a tea cup and pouring tea for himself. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the last time he met by chance in the palace, and she gave him tea. The Emperor offers some tea.
He was not a person who liked sweets, but he was attracted by the milky tea. Afterwards, he asked the tea master to try to make some tea, but unfortunately he always failed to get the point, and the taste was very different.
"Isn't Su Xiang coming in?" Ye Yun held the tea cup and looked sideways at Su Muyun, who was standing at the door with the car curtain closed but not coming in, confusion flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Su Muyun came back to his senses, slowly lowered the car curtain, sat opposite Ye Yun, and followed her example and poured himself a cup of tea.
"There are some snacks in the car, would you like to try them, Your Highness?" With that, Su Muyun opened the brocade box on the side, took out a plate of snacks and put it on the table.
The carriage was ups and downs and jolted constantly, but the tea cups and snack trays on the table were not affected at all. This shows that a lot of thought was spent on the workmanship and materials used in this carriage.
Ye Yun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite. A faint scent of osmanthus filled his mouth and nose. It was sweet but not greasy. It was really good.
After eating a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Ye Yun took a sip of tea to relieve the taste, then leaned back against the wall of the car, his eyes blurred, and he looked extremely lazy.
The corners of Su Muyun's lips curled up, with a bit of a smile in his eyes. He looked at the somewhat sleepy Ye Yun and said, "If Your Highness is tired, just feel free to rest. As long as the ministers are here, they will definitely protect Your Highness."
If it were normal, Ye Yunding would not be so relieved to put her life in the hands of others, but today she was indeed a little tired, and the candlelight in the car was flickering. After a while, she fell asleep against the wall of the car. passed.
I don’t know how long she slept. Ye Yun woke up from his sleep while rubbing his sore neck. Su Muyun, who was reading a book at the side, saw her waking up and put the book aside and said, "Your Highness is awake?"
"How long until we get to the princess's mansion." After saying that, Ye Yun moved his neck, got up from the car wall, and sat up straight.
"Back to Your Highness, I arrived an hour ago."
Ye Yun lifted the curtain in front of him with hesitation, and sure enough he saw the three characters 'Princess Mansion'. He immediately lowered the curtain and said, "Since you have returned to the palace, why doesn't Prime Minister Su wake me up?"
The corner of Su Muyun's lips curled up slightly and he said softly: "Seeing that His Highness was sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear it, so I waited for an extra hour in front of the princess's mansion."
