Tibu followed.
Inside the dungeon, the light was dim, exuding a complex smell, accompanied by countless cries of distress:
"Unjustly accused!"
"Why are you arresting us? Apart from visiting prostitutes, I have never done anything wrong in my life!"
"let me out……"
"It's unfair..."
Ye Jinxiao looked around and saw that every cell was full of people, a total of four to five hundred of them. All of them were complaining and complaining. The noise was so fierce that it was about to overturn the roof of the dungeon.
Bitter!
What an injustice!
Oh my God!
It was a huge area of darkness, like zombies besieging a city.
The corners of her eyes twitched slightly and she looked at Chu Yuci beside her.
Chu Yuci: "..."
Facing the situation in front of him, he was slightly silent, as if he felt something was wrong.
I was so angry last night that I ransacked Wenrou Township in a fit of rage. Now that I calmed down, it was really not a good move.
It’s all Ye Jinxiao’s fault.
If she hadn't pissed him off, would he have done this?
Suddenly, he discovered that his self-control had always been very stable, but every time he bumped into Ye Jinxiao, he would always be inexplicably irritated.
This woman was probably here to defeat him.
"You have arrested so many people, what are you going to do with them?" Ye Jinxiao asked.
Chu Yuci was silent for a moment:
"Although most of these people are innocent, the killer is not kept. Once the killer is found, the others will be released."
He has already ordered an investigation.
"There will be results within three days."
"Three days?"
Ye Jinxiao stood at the entrance of the corridor, glanced at the cells full of prisoners on both sides, and stretched out his hands against the iron bars to complain.
"With so many people, if they were locked up for just one more hour, the roof would be blown off by the noise, let alone three days."
After three days, he no longer wants his reputation?
With so many officials impeaching him, he is not afraid of getting into trouble?
"Let him go within an hour."
Chu Yuci frowned: "What do you mean?"
He has spent so much effort and arrested so many people. Now that he has started this, will he go to the end and find out a few killers? Wouldn't it be in vain?
"Who do you think this king is doing this for, you don't know?"
Ye Jinxiao crossed his arms and leaned against the wall lazily, "For me?"
laugh.
"Don't you want me to die outside?"
Chu Yuci looked at her coldly: "I am also involved in the matter of Prince Beiyan. Naturally, I have full authority to handle this matter."
Instead of asking her to ask for help from the wild men outside!
One was drinking and the other was dancing with a sword. She was really carefree outside with him behind her back!
"Oh? Since you have full authority to handle this matter, you have to blame me for copying Wenrou Township, and you say it's for me. Isn't this a slap in the face?"
"..."
This woman is so articulate!
Don't be polite when you yell at someone, and even more merciless when you bite someone.
He actually couldn't speak to her...
Ye Jinxiao walked into the cell, grabbed the iron chain hanging on the wall, and shook it hard.
Bang bang bang!
"Everyone calm down!"
Bang bang!
The sharp impact of the iron chain made a heavy sound, which caused everyone to turn their heads and look over. When they saw King Yu, everyone looked even more angry:
"His Royal Highness King Yu!"
"Why are you arresting us?"
"Let us out!"
"King Yu!"
"Quiet!"
Ye Jinxiao shook the iron chain vigorously, trying her best to suppress four to five hundred people with one person's voice, but she suffered internal injuries and the roar made her lungs hurt.
At the same time, a voice supported by strong inner strength expanded:
"Quiet!"
Every word has a ringing sound and reaches everyone’s ears clearly:
"Whenever it becomes quiet, we will start letting people go!"
When everyone heard the sound, they slowly closed their mouths.
Some of them were prostitutes, some were thugs, some were prostitutes, and there were also kitchen workers, sweepers, menial workers... Everyone in Wenwen Village was arrested.
They were like headless flies and had no idea what was going on.
Ye Jinxiao stroked his chest to slow down his breathing and said, "Let everyone go, just keep a few."
Chu Yuci pinched her wrist and said coldly:
"You can't let it go. More than 400 people can't be investigated in a short time. If you don't find out the results, the killer will keep watching you."
"Since you don't want Fengxing to follow and protect you, and you don't want to stay at Prince Yu's Mansion to take refuge, then don't interfere in the affairs of Wenrou Village. Otherwise, if something happens one day, you will be blamed for not protecting you."
Ye Jinxiao raised his head: "What you said, do you think I am being unreasonable?"
"Is not it?"
He raised his eyebrows and asked.
"..."
Ah!
Chu dog.
"It takes three days to investigate a case. It seems that your methods are not very good." She pulled her lips coldly.
"What can you do?"
Chu Yuci glanced at the cell: "Most of these people are ordinary civilians. They need to be interrogated and carefully checked one by one. It will take a lot of time just to check them all."
There are still many people who are uncooperative.
"I said I would release him within an hour. It's just an hour. You don't have to say anything. You just need to cooperate with me."
Ye Jinxiao shook off his hand, walked to the cell, and raised his voice:
"Everyone, please be patient. King Yu is not detaining you, but is protecting you!"
Everyone was stunned: "Protect?"
"good."
Chu Yuci pinched his eyebrows.
What is she trying to do?
Ye Jinxiao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, Wenwen Township is a mixed bag. It is a good place to hide your identity and fish in troubled waters. There was an assassination in Wenwen Township last night. If King Yu hadn't taken action in time, everyone would have been detained." I'm afraid you may be in bad luck at this time."
Everyone was shocked:
"What?"
"Assassination?!"
"Something happened in Wenrou Township?"
"You may wish to think carefully, when did King Yu oppress and humiliate the people? When did he use his power to bully others? In which natural and man-made disasters, did he not lead by example and rush to the forefront?"
Ye Jinxiao's voice rose calmly:
"He has no grievances against anyone, so why would he go to great lengths to arrest you? What's the benefit to him? Isn't it just to protect everyone?"
After listening to these words, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down:
"Princess Yu's words are indeed reasonable."
"It's not like King Yu is full and has nothing to do. Why are you arresting us for no reason?"
"Maybe they are really protecting us."
"We misunderstood His Royal Highness Prince Yu..."
A young man couldn't help but ask: "Princess Yu, who wants to assassinate whom? Who is making trouble in Wenrou Township? Since we have no quarrel, when can we go home?"
"Yes, when can we go home?"
Ye Jinxiao raised his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, the killer is hiding among you before he is caught."
"What!"
Everyone's bodies tensed up, and subconsciously you looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone nervously raised their hands to guard against each other.
Afraid of being accidentally stabbed.
Ye Jinxiao squinted his eyes and quickly scanned the more than 400 people. His eyes quickly fell on a fat woman - the old madam from Wenrou Township, a woman who claimed to be the late wife.
Wan Niang was in charge of the affairs of Wen Wen Township. As soon as he saw her that night, he recognized her as a stranger.
It seems that she is familiar with every member of Wenrou Township.
He raised his fingertips slightly and pointed at Wan Niang:
"she."
The late wife was shocked when she was pointed out, "Me?"
Everyone quickly spread out and stayed away from her.
"What do you mean to me? I'm not a killer, I'm just a helpless old mother!"
Ye Jinxiao looked at her: "It's you."
"My lord, capture her and torture her. If the others are not suspected, you can let her go."
Chu Yuci frowned.
He could tell at a glance that the madam was fat and had weak legs. He was an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts, let alone a killer.
After hesitating for a second, Ye Jinxiao turned around:
"You just need to cooperate with me and don't worry about anything else. She is who I say she is."
Feng Xing whispered: "Master, the princess is not making trouble unreasonably..."
Chu Yuci pursed his lips, looking at the woman's cold and distant face, he couldn't help but think about the epidemic area and the pursuit of the Northern Yan Crown Prince.
It seems that no matter what time, she is always so calm and convincing.
Knowing that he couldn't do it, he couldn't help but said:
"Feng Xing, do as the princess says."
Feng Xing was surprised.
The princess was acting nonsense, but the master still followed her.
Since when did the master dote on the princess so much?
