"But …" "On that day, there was clearly a bailiff who came to search the warehouse. Although this servant did not see it with her own eyes, but I heard that it was a thorough search, so I did not find any of our goods. Thus, this servant came over two days ago and did not think to open this box."
"Can you trust the words of a bailiff?" Liu Wei glanced at Fu Cheng, "This Old Master Huang has an extremely good reputation at Qinshan Manor and is known for many years. How could he not be familiar with the people at the yamen? Now that the relationship has been established, if we turn a blind eye to the search, wouldn't all the evidence be reported by the mouths of these people? "
Floating Life hurriedly said, "Then we've found the evidence. If we can move this box to the entrance of the yamen, won't that prove the innocence of Young Mistress?"
"Make a mark. Let's go."
"He left just like that?"
"Let's go."
… ….
On the morning of the second day, Lord Cao Yujie, the governor of Qinshan Prefecture, was still sleeping in bed with Yuqie. Before he could wake up, he heard a knock on the door.
"Milord, this isn't good, milord …"
The hubbub caused Cao Yujie to not tire of it. She nudged him a few times in a coquettish manner, indicating that he should go out and take a look.
Cao Yujie stood up angrily as he shouted towards the outside, "What are you roaring for!"
Cao Yujie put on a set of clothes and went to open the door with a face full of irritation.
The moment the door opened, the head of the yamen runners outside said anxiously: "Master, something has happened, something has happened."
"This official is doing very well, what a great fart!"
"No... "Lord, someone from the upper echelons has arrived, someone from the capital has arrived!"
"Beijing?" Cao Yujie was stunned for a moment. He guessed that it was probably because of that kid in the prison. He then frowned. "Is he from the Board of Justice?"
head of the yamen runners shook his head.
"Is that a member of the military?"
The head of the yamen runners still shook his head.
Cao Yujie unhappily kicked head of the yamen runners. "Then brat, tell me, where did you get this?"
head of the yamen runners hugged his buttocks, which was half of his crying pain, and said while trembling in fear: "S-Zhenge Sect!"
"From the Zhenge Sect?" Cao Yujie's expression changed and immediately became serious. "What is Zhenge Sect doing here?"
"Say yes, he accepted a case and came to look into it personally."
Other than the suspected Prime Minister's concubine, there was no one else in the recent case where Qinshan Manor was able to alarm the capital. Wasn't it just a concubine that was able to labour his way through Zhenge Sect?
Those were the emperor's personal guards. They guarded both inside and outside the imperial city, and governed the entire capital. What did that have to do with where they were?
"Not a liar?" Cao Yujie was still skeptical, "Have you asked around? Who is the person who came? Which battalion? "
This time, head of the yamen runners's expression was on the verge of tears. He lowered his voice and anxiously said: "General, General Manager …"
"Huh?"
"Lieutenant!" Zhenge Sect is in charge of command. General Rong … That, that Second Prince … "
"Whap." Before head of the yamen runners could finish his sentence, Cao Yujie slapped him on the head, "Nonsense, General Rong is coming personally? For that kid in the prison? The bastard? Do you have a brain? Do you really believe what you just said! "
head of the yamen runners felt wronged: "I don't believe that he is a lowly person, but he … He said he was the Zhenge Sect Lieutenant with three other people beside him. One of them is the young mistress's servant in the prison, while the other one is a white-faced scholar and a child. "
"Swish." Cao Yujie sneered. "Fake."
"Fake, fake?" head of the yamen runners was stunned.
"The designation is fake." Cao Yujie was very certain. "Have you seen the soldiers?"
head of the yamen runners shook his head.
"Where are the guards?"
Still shaking his head.
"That man is wearing the clothes of the Zhenge Sect?"
He continued to shake his head.
"Isn't that the truth? Fake it and throw it out! This is most likely the helper that the maidservant found, there's no need to bother about it. "
"But …" The head of the yamen runners hesitated: "He has a plate."
Cao Yujie, who was about to return to his room, suddenly stopped and raised his eyebrows. "What brand?"
"That's right... But Master, I know that you do not know what the words are, and I do not understand what was written on it, but I saw that there were patterns on both sides of the sign.
Cao Yujie was silent for a moment before asking, "What kind of patterns?"
head of the yamen runners gestured twice: "It's red, it's wavy, there are a few clusters of flowers on top of it … …"
Cao Yujie's expression turned ugly. "Flowers? What color are they?"
"Blue, right, it's blue …" Master, you said that it was fake as well … "
"Clang!"
Without waiting for head of the yamen runners to finish asking, Cao Yujie's legs went soft, and he threw the door to the ground.
The head of the yamen runners was startled and quickly helped Cao Yujie up. "Master, what's wrong?"
Cao Yujie clenched his subordinate's hand so tightly that his lips turned white. "Hurry, hurry and bring me there. Hurry!"
Seeing the lord's expression, head of the yamen runners also realized that it was most likely not a fake. Seeing his master walking into the hall without a care, head of the yamen runners quickly pulled his master's hand, "My Lord, it's better if you change your clothes."
Cao Yujie lowered his head to look and saw that he was dressed in undergarments. He hurriedly ran back into his room and began to search for his clothes in a flustered manner.
Following which, they saw a middle-aged man in official uniform hurrying over, escorted by the Master and the bailiffs.
Liu Wei saw that the Prefecture Overseer's footsteps were in a mess, as though he was flustered about finding a path to take. He picked up a cup of tea from the side and raised his eyebrows: "Seems like he's not very daring."
"Cao Yujie." Rong Ling suddenly said.
"You know him?" Liu Wei looked at Rong Ling.
Rong Ling was expressionless, "Qian Ling is the top scholar for sixteen years, the previous batch, Jing zhao Yin."
"Hmm?" Liu Wei's interest was piqued: "Those who are able to become Jing zhao Yin are no ordinary people. Although they are all fourth rank officials, the capital city and this place are different."
Rong Ling nodded his head, "This person's knowledge is extraordinary and he is an official with a clean heart. He only made one mistake and lost his chance to serve a second term."
Jing zhao Yin's important duties were usually changed every five years, and only the emperor would have a chance at re-election. Listening to Rong Ling's tone, this person used to have a possibility of re-election?
"Which one?" Liu Wei asked.
Rong Ling looked at Liu Wei, and indifferently spat out two words: "So perverted."
Liu Wei: "..."
So what if she was lustful, what did she have to say when he looked at her?
"You were right yesterday." Rong Ling suddenly said expressionlessly.
"Hmm?" Liu Wei was suspicious.
Rong Ling said: "Men's clothing."
Liu Wei was startled for a moment, and then he understood, immediately. He didn't know what to say.
