As if she was coaxing a child, Chu Yunge softened her voice and said these words with a face full of smiles.

"Really, really?" He was still unwilling to believe that Chu Yunge was a princess, but the initial disgust was no longer present on her face.

"Of course, I won't lie to you." Chu Yunge took the initiative to extend her right hand, hooked her pinky and gave her a guarantee.

"Liar, you must have also used this kind of trick to gain General Mu's trust back then." She pouted her lips and looked at Chu Yunge. Her hands were behind her back, as if she was avoiding him.

"You're wrong. When I lied to General Mu, I didn't say it directly to him." Instead, he had meticulously prepared and disguised himself before going to find him. He didn't even know I was a girl. I was disguised as a eunuch at that time. But facing me, I don't pretend to be anything at all, and every word I say is the truth. "

"..." How do I know it's true? " His mouth was still as stubborn as before, but the voice that came out of it was much gentler than before.

"Haha, little fool, wait for me to enter the Ministry of Justice and enter the prison. When the Emperor summoned me, you already knew whether I was really a Imperial Protector Princess or not. If I'm a fake, I might die after entering the palace. If I were a real princess, don't worry, I wouldn't die. We might even have a chance to meet again. " Chu Yunge still maintained the posture of reaching out her hand, her slender pinky raising in the air, waggling it playfully towards him, "So you want to hook your finger if you don't believe me?"

"Fine."

Under Chu Yunge's repeated orders, the seated extraordinary slowly raised his head and met Chu Yunge's gaze. He then similarly extended out his finger, "Hold my hand, if you lie to me, even if you die, I won't burn paper money for you …"

"You better hope that I'm still alive. Maybe I'll give you a gold ingot."

Chu Yunge took the initiative to hook the youth's finger, and forcefully hooked it.

An hour later.

The carriage train shakily passed the busiest district of the Bright Moon City and arrived at the outskirts of the city, which was the Chief Sovereign of Punishment's Mansion.

When they arrived at the entrance of the residence, it seemed that a pigeon had already sent a message. The Minister of Justice of the Board of Justice had already taken the initiative to stand quietly in front of the residence. When he saw the Minister of Revenue riding on his horse, he immediately stepped forward to welcome him. His Majesty has been waiting for the results of this matter for the past few days.

"Sir Huang …" The huge man sitting on the red mane horse immediately got down from the horse. He raised his hands and saluted. He first folded his hands in front of his chest and respectfully bowed to the Minister of Revenue.

After the salutation, he straightened his back and whispered to Mr. Huang who was full of expectation, "Thank you for waiting here for me, Mr. Huang. I don't dare to do such a thing." "I was still thinking that after meeting with His Majesty in the afternoon, Lord Huang would be able to make this official speak up so that the emperor wouldn't blame me."

"What is it? What happened? " Upon hearing the Minister of Revenue say such words, the expression of Mr. Huang, who was eagerly waiting for him, stiffened. He looked at him seriously, "Did you not capture that prisoner?"

As he spoke, he looked away to the line of carriages behind the Minister of Revenue. He wanted to find the prisoner's figure in the line of carriages.

Not to mention the prisoner's shadow, he didn't even see a prisoner van.

At that moment, Lord Huang's face had already changed greatly. His serious expression immediately turned serious as he looked away from the carriage and stared at the man in front of him. He whispered, "Giant, could it be that you …" He didn't finish what the emperor told him, right? Long Yan was going to get angry, this …

Before Mr. Huang could finish his sentence, Mr. Shang Shu interrupted him and said: "Aiya, that is not what I meant. What I mean is, this matter didn't go as smoothly as I thought, because the complexity of this case has exceeded my expectations, and the matter is extremely troublesome. I didn't even dare to bring the case up for questioning after catching the culprit, and rushed back to the capital.

"What?" "You said that there wasn't even a trial?" Mr. Huang shook his beard in surprise.

"That's right. If I could have brought the case for questioning, then I would have settled the matter in Dazhou City a long time ago. Why would I drag things this far and come to you for help?" The giant grabbed Lord Huang's wrist with one hand and said in a low voice, "For the sake of being an official's colleague for so many years, I hope you can help me out!"

"What's wrong? "Who is that culprit? How can you be so afraid when you see him?" Not only did Mr. Huang change, he became more curious.

"Origin?" That prisoner claimed to be the Imperial Protector Princess of Great Chu Kingdom, Chu Yunge! She was drinking tea in the back garden of the mansion when I sent the Deathsworn to arrest her. When he saw me, he immediately gave his name. She also said that the accomplice had run away and she was the only one present. "

"She said she's a Imperial Protector Princess? Doesn't that mean that this old one can claim to be the prince? " The corner of Mr. Huang's mouth curled as he spoke with utter disdain.

"Of course there is no proof. If it was only that person speaking like that, it would be fine. But the key point is that the main culprit even took out the princess medallion for Great Chu Kingdom. I saw the medallion, from the way the craftsmen choose the materials, it's all priceless treasures, and it doesn't seem like something that an ordinary person would have. Later on, he even asked the artisan to take a look privately, saying that the medallion was made of gold and jade, and that it was indeed made from Great Chu Kingdom. There aren't many craftsmen who can produce such craftsmen. It can be seen with a single glance. "

"Even if the token is real, what if the culprit stole it?" Lord Huang's thoughts were exactly the same as his initial thoughts. He did not believe that a thief who had cheated the military's salary would have any impressive origins.

The enormous being immediately made a silent gesture and continued in a low voice: "I have also asked, in these past few days, Imperial Protector Princess s of the Great Chu Kingdom are indeed not here. They said that they have toured the palace with the crown prince of the Feng Lai Kingdom. A while ago, he went to the Kang City to participate in the Martial Arts Competition and obtained the throne of Alliance Master Wu Lin. According to those who heard the news, the last place where the princess appeared was in Dazhou City. and then it disappeared. "

"Due to the timing, there are still people who are able to match it. On top of that, that main culprit indeed has an extraordinary temperament. Even though his manners and words can't be considered that of a lady from a noble family, he is indeed different from the masses and has an imposing manner. "

"Could it be that you have too many suspicions?" Isn't that princess a woman? Is the main culprit a man or a woman? " Mr. Huang asked.

"Of course it's a woman! If it was a man, how could this lowly official not see it? " The giant replied helplessly.

"It's precisely because she's a woman, coupled with the fact that her words and actions do indeed somewhat resemble the princess of Great Chu Kingdom, and her ability to take out the princess medallion, that makes it difficult for this official to do so. If it really is a princess with such a golden body, this official will use his punishment to interrogate her. If the other day, my Great Chu Kingdom finds out and this matter is used as an offense, wouldn't I become the eternal sinner of the entire Bright Moon Kingdom! "

Mr. Huang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "From what you said, it is indeed difficult to handle." If the inmate impersonates you, you will be reprimanded for not capturing the other accomplices. But it's better than the fact that you beat up a princess of a country. "

"Sir Huang has finally agreed to go down to the next level!" Hearing that Lord Huang had finally approved of him, the Minister of Justice clenched his fist in excitement, so much so that he was on the verge of tears.

In the past few days, he'd been feeling uneasy on the way back to the capital, and he'd been thinking about this matter.

After much deliberation, he finally felt that his decision was the right one. At the very least, even if that girl was pretending to be a princess, she was still the main culprit. He had brought the main culprit back with him.

As for the accomplices, Liu Ming had already left his men to search around the Bright Moon City. As long as they put in effort, they would definitely be able to find some clues.

Even if this case wasn't handled perfectly and the emperor wasn't satisfied, it would at most be a crime of dereliction of duty.

This was still less of a crime than beating a princess!

"Well, have you brought the prisoner?" Lord Huang recovered his composure and asked softly.

"Of course."

"Why can't I see the prisoner's carriage?"

"Prisoner? The female criminal claimed to be the female lead. Since she could not sit in a simple carriage like the prison carriage, this official lent her his carriage. " Speaking of this matter, the Minister of Revenue was also very helpless.

"You said you lent the woman your carriage?" Mr. Huang's eyebrows trembled along with his beard. His face, which had finally regained its calmness, tensed up once again. Surprise was written all over the wrinkled old face.

"Exactly." The gargantuan man helplessly lowered his head and sighed.

"You lent your carriage to a prisoner? That female criminal's request is truly something that only happens once in a lifetime! " When Lord Huang heard this, he was even more interested to see what the man who could give the Minister of Revenue a headache looked like. Did he have three heads and six arms?!

"When you see that female prisoner, you will know how unique she is." The enormous being had always been respectful and patient towards Chu Yunge along the way, and had always tolerated it. Now that they had finally made it to the capital with great difficulty, she finally had the courage to shoulder the burden on her shoulders.

"What are you going to do next?"

"In the beginning, I was planning to make a clean cell in the Ministry of Justice prison for the principal criminal to live in when the process of transportation arrives. For the time being, take him into custody. Do not torture him without permission. Then you and I will go to the palace together and tell His Majesty what this is all about. Your Majesty has seen the Imperial Protector Princess before, so this matter should be decided by Your Majesty. " The giant slowly let go of Lord Huang's hands, put his two hands into the sleeves, and said with a sigh, "I hope this old man is not mistaken, I really hope that the female criminal is the princess of Great Chu Kingdom. "Otherwise, the Emperor would have to punish me for a crime of dereliction of duty. Although my life is at ease, I'm afraid that the black gauze hat on my head will not be preserved."

"It's still too early for you to say that. Why don't we get that female criminal to stay in the Ministry of Justice's Prison and hold her for trial?" Lord Huang suggested.

As a result, after the two lords had discussed things for a long time in front of the gates of the General's Estate in the Ministry of Justice, they finally decided to put Chu Yunge in prison to strictly guard him before going to meet the Emperor …
