When they heard about doing business, their attitudes changed.
Qin Tianshui's eyebrows twitched as he looked at her. It took him a while before he could find his voice. "I can help you wash off your grievances."
"Oh." Chen Mu Mu nodded her head indifferently, and she replied with an indifferent expression, "How long?"
She didn't seem to mind at all that she was a prisoner. Not only was she not free, she could be punished at any time?
This also... Too calm.
He was so calm that he could not guess what she was thinking.
Qin Tianliang raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that you don't trust me and that I can help you?"
"I don't even know who you are, how can I trust you?" Chen Mu Mu Mu remained calm as she looked at him as though she was looking at a stranger, a swindler who spoke casually, "I've done quite a lot of things like boasting."
That is, if you blow it, I'll listen, but I don't believe you.
Qin Tiansei felt a surge of helplessness in his heart. This little girl was so difficult to deal with, she was just making a deal. Such a simple matter, how did it get to her where there were walls everywhere?
"I'm not boasting." He put away the carefree expression on his face and solemnly guaranteed, "I can definitely wash away your grievances and prove your innocence."
"Alright, I'll believe that you can prove my innocence." Chen Mu Mu nodded his head, his expression still disapproving, "But this is an official's office, there's a supervisor at the top, and a magistrate at the bottom. You're an unidentified person, so what right do I have to have them hand the case over to you, and believe your story?"
When officials and officials protected each other, even the most innocent of officials had moments where they were unclean. Not to mention that the Inspector General Shen was not a good person, how could he allow others to interfere in matters that he was responsible for? — Unless he could not refuse.
Qin Tianli facepalmed, "Grandaunt, I'm afraid of you. Don't you just want to know my identity? I'll just tell you."
He looked at her, his expression solemn. "Let me reintroduce you, this one is Qin Tianshui, the current fifth son of His Majesty, a Titled Li King."
As expected, they were from the Tian Family.
Chen Mu Mu Mu was enlightened but on the surface, he looked doubtful. "Is there any evidence?"
"You still need evidence?" Qin Tianshui found it inconceivable. "Isn't the fact that This King is standing in front of you a living proof?"
"I'm sorry, I haven't read much and haven't seen much of the people from the Tian Family." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
That was to say, face-washing was useless because she didn't recognize him?
The helplessness Qin Tiansei felt grew even stronger as he took out a command medallion from his waist. "If my words are unconvincing, this medallion should be able to prove my identity, right?"
Chen Mu Mu took the token and looked at it. The token was made of high quality sandalwood, with the imperial family's tiger head pattern engraved on it. There were also some strange runes, and in the middle of these runes, there was a large, traditional character, "Seep".
Whether it was real or not, anyone with a discerning eye could tell immediately.
Not to mention that this sandalwood was extremely hard to find, since there was a price but no market. Who in Heaven's family would dare to impersonate themselves after eating a leopard?
This was the crime of beheading.
However, this token looked pretty good.
Chen Mu Mu played with it for a while and then threw it back to him, "I believe you are Li King, but how long do you need to investigate my case?"
"It's a bit difficult." Qin Tiansei leaned against the wall, the smile on his lips was somewhat sinister. "Your poisoned pastries have already poisoned more than a dozen people. Although I've found the best doctor for you to look at, and there's no longer any life in you now, it'll still take a few days for you to completely recover."
He looked at her and saw that she was finally a little relaxed. More smiles floated up in his eyes, "Those people who were injured were in high spirits, but they couldn't wait to tear you into ten thousand pieces. Also, your case has evidence and evidence."
Chen Mu Mu Mu did not waste his breath with him, "What use is it for a dignified Li King to not be able to handle such a small matter?"
After putting on a tall hat, she paused and then added emphatically, "How many days will it take to find out about my case?"
"Approximately … About ten days. " Glimmers danced in Qin Tianli's eyes as he said uncertainly.
"Ten days?!" Chen Mu Mu snorted, "That's all you have to say."
Qin Tiansei was so excited by her that his eyebrows jumped up and down, feeling a little depressed. "Then how many days do you think it should be?"
Chen Mu did not answer his question, and instead asked, "As a dignified Li King, you dare to lower yourself to do business with me, and even tirelessly investigate my innocence? But I wonder, why is Your Highness planning this? "
They had never met each other in their entire lives, nor did they have the slightest bit of friendship with each other. She did not think that Qin Tiantai was like a living thunderbolt, possessing the virtue of selflessness and zeal to help others.
"It's very simple. Just return the things you found to me." Seeing that she was finally enlightened, Qin Tianli hurriedly stated his request.
"Let me help you overturn the case, clear away the grievances, and restore your freedom. As long as you pick up the items, you can still deal with me. Isn't this transaction too excessive?"
"But this commoner still doesn't know, what is it that His Highness is talking about?" A trace of craftiness flashed past Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes. "This humble one doesn't seem to have picked up anything these past few days."
"The Gold Medallion of Immunity." Qin Tiansei felt a little helpless. "A golden token. Written on: 'Don't Die'."
"It's actually the Gold Medallion of Immunity!" Chen Mu Mu Mu exclaimed, "How could you lose such an important object?"
"Lower your voice!" Qin Tiansei hurriedly covered her mouth. "You damned girl, I don't believe that you don't know anything about this thing. If this news were to leak out, neither you nor I would have a good ending!"
The Gold Medallion of Immunity was an important object bestowed by the Emperor upon his subjects. With the Gold Medallion, all sins could be exempted, and one's death could be exempted.
Of course, the great favor was also a great responsibility.
It was said that even if the entire world possessed them, they would only be able to hold two of them. To see a gold medal, as of an emperor.
Similarly, losing a gold medal was also a crime of bullying the monarch.
Even if Qin Tianshui was the son of the emperor, if he lost the gold medal, the emperor would probably not spare him.
That was why this person was so anxious. He didn't hesitate to call for her and condescend to negotiate conditions with her?
Chen Mu smiled as he narrowed his eyes and nodded his head, pointing to the hand he used to cover her mouth.
Only then did Qin Tianshui realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly retracted his hand, his face red and white, looking extremely beautiful.
Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was appreciative of his awkward state, as though watching a show, and didn't want to disturb his conflict.
After a moment of silence, Qin Tiantai was the first to break it, "Now we are only speaking the truth. Even if you don't have the gold medal, I'm afraid it will only bring you endless trouble. It would also be beneficial to me."
He said solemnly, "Since my Li King has promised to prove your innocence, then we will definitely do it. We will never go back on our words."
"Two days." Chen Mu Mu Mu pondered for a moment before speaking.
"What?" Qin Tianshui was stunned.
This girl's brain was spinning too fast, he almost couldn't react in time.
"Use two days to prove my innocence and get me out of jail." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "As a gift of thanks, I will definitely offer you my gold medal."
"Sure enough, it's with you." Qin Tianli let out a sigh of relief. The crime of losing a gold medallion was not small. Now that he knew where the gold medallion had fallen, the stone hanging over his heart finally fell to the ground. As long as they knew who had it, they wouldn't be afraid of being unable to take it back.
However …
"Two days is too short. Your case is not light at all. Many people were injured by those pastries."
Qin Tiansei looked troubled. "What's more, there's a problem with your family's food. Those patients needed money to treat their illnesses, and I was the one who paid for it. I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
"The Gold Medallion of Immunity." Chen Mu smirked, "Isn't it worth the price?"
Needless to say, the Gold Medal of Immunity was worth one's life, and it was the equivalent of any crime, any life under any circumstances.
Her life was naturally more important than the prince's.
Therefore, no matter how difficult her case was, she had to investigate this prince who had lost his gold medal.
"Chen Mu Mu." Qin Tiansei gnashed his teeth. "You're really pushing your luck. Aren't you afraid that This King will settle the score with you later?"
"If the Li King really wanted to settle the score with me, this commoner would have died a long time ago." Chen Mu Mu Mu was unafraid, "But didn't you say that you won't become my enemy and won't harm this commoner? Since His Highness had said everything, it was time for them to return the favor. This humble commoner believes that with Your Highness' character, you would never be able to do such a vicious thing. "
She smiled faintly and said, "After all, according to the rumors, the Fifth Prince is a prince who loves his people like the brave and loyal."
"How come I didn't know I had such a reputation?" The corner of Qin Tiansei's mouth twitched. This girl really would say anything to achieve her goal. However, he had to admit that this king was very comfortable with your flattery. "
"As long as you're happy." Chen Mu smiled until his eyebrows curved, "Then it's a promise, Li King?"
"Not two days." Qin Tiansei felt a headache coming on. "This King isn't as good as you make him out to be." He took out a stack of files from behind the table and handed it to her with a helpless look on his face. "Take a look at how serious your case is, see how resentful the victims are, and how they found problematic pastries in your workshop. It's even harder for you to prove your innocence than to ascend to heaven."
"Is Your Highness not the heavens?" Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't budge in the slightest, "This commoner feels that everything will be fine once His Highness takes action."
The case was difficult for others, but behind Qin Tiansei, there was a government official, an envoy, and even the Shangguan Family helping out. Wasn't it easy to clarify things?
As long as he had the heart, nothing would be difficult.
"Three days." Qin Tiansei felt helpless, so he decided to throw caution to the wind and said, "Give This King another day. This King will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Then the business that I had suffered damage to my reputation due to this case will be taken care of by the Li King as well?" Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
Qin Tianli let out a breath, "Chen Mu Mu, you are a fully deserving merchant."
He was too good at calculating and fighting for his own benefits.
"You flatter me." Chen Mu Mu Mu nodded her head humbly, "Then, if there's nothing else, this commoner will return to the prison."
"Go." Qin Tiansei waved his hand. "This King is busy too."
Chen Mu Mu didn't put on any airs as he turned around and walked to the entrance. After taking two steps, he couldn't help but ask, "As a prince, why don't you use force if you know that I have the gold medal in my hands?"
This world was forever the domain of those with power and influence. If Qin Tianshui didn't care what methods he used to force her to take out the gold, would she dare to not take it?
Upon hearing this, Qin Tiansei cast a glance at her and said, "I don't want a situation where a fish dies in a net."
If this matter got out of hand, it would do him no good.
And considering Chen Mu Mu's temperament, if he really forced her into a corner, he might never be able to find the gold medal.
Inexplicably, he believed that if she didn't want to do something, even if he did destroy the heavens, she would not give in.
