Chapter 99 Punishment
Mu Siyu has been trying to recall what happened last night, but she really can't remember it.
"See Your Highness."
The maid's words brought back Mu Siyu's thoughts, and she quickly stood up to salute, "His Royal Highness Ning".
"The princess doesn't have to be too polite. The princess has been frightened these days."
Mu Siyu often heard Prince Mu mention His Highness Ning in his mansion, and his tone was full of appreciation.
She had imagined the appearance of His Royal Highness Ning, who had been fighting abroad for many years, but she didn't expect that Chu Yu was completely different from what she thought, so she accidentally stunned.
"Cough..." Chu Yu coughed lightly, trying to make Mu Siyu feel refreshed.
Mu Siyu realized her loss of composure and her face turned slightly red. She quickly lowered her head, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving Siyu."
"The princess has rested in the mansion these days, and she should be able to return to the East in a few days."
After Chu Yu said this, he was about to turn around and leave, and Mu Siyu stopped him.
"Your Highness, Siyu has something to ask for help from you."
"What's up?"
"Siyu wants to ask Your Highness to help Siyu find the body of his maid Cui'er..."
Mu Siyu felt that since Chu Yu could rescue her from that place, she must be a very powerful person. She wanted Cui'er to rest in peace...
"I will do my best."
Chu Yu handed over this matter to his subordinates. Compared to helping Mu Siyu find a corpse, Chu Yu has more important things to do, but since he promised Mu Siyu, he would send someone to find it.
"After a night of trial, what was found?"
The deputy general behind Chu Yu lowered his head. They tried it all night, but no useful news came out.
The deputy general didn't say anything, and Chu Yu guessed that they hadn't tried anything. These people were really hard to deal with, and he had to go and examine them in person.
Chu Yu arrested so many people in the Jingzhao Mansion prison, and such a big thing could not be done without a person's knowledge.
The matter soon reached Chu Heng and Chu Xun, but Chu Xun didn't know what to post, so he didn't care.
But when Chu Heng got the news, he felt a little strange. Chu Yu did nothing for these days and solved the disappearance of a girl who had been clueless for so many years?
"Is there any news about the princess?"
"Your Highness, it's a coincidence that the person who sent out to find the princess yesterday saw a woman in Prince Ning's mansion this morning, as if she was very similar to the princess."
Chu Heng guessed that there might be something wrong with Mu Siyu for so long, but these people were definitely not ordinary people who could escape the investigation of so many people.
"Go and check the details of those people, especially the one behind them."
Xiao Han took his life and went to investigate. Chu Heng sat in his seat and thought for a long time. He felt that he should go to Jingzhao Mansion.
"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."
After hearing the subordinates’ report that Chu Heng was coming, the prefect of Jingzhao was quickly out to pick him up. What happened today? His Highness Ning came for more than an hour, and now His Highness the Crown Prince has come in person again. Two people who may not have been able to see him in the past have taken the initiative to run to his small Jingzhao Mansion today...
"I heard that my ninth brother caught the girl's disappearance yesterday. I want to try the prisoner. I wonder if it is convenient?"
"This..." The prefect of Jingzhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. His Highness Ning was now being tried, and he didn't know that Fang was inconvenient.
"Is it inconvenient?" Chu Heng's eyes were sharp, and the prefect of Jingzhao was so scared that he shook several times, and quickly said it several times.
He pulled the government office behind him, "Hurry up and take His Royal Highness to see those criminals."
The government office was also a little scared. He had been a government office in Jingzhao Prefecture for so many years and had never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was nervous when he suddenly asked him to lead the way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The government office responded for a long time before moving the place, "Your Highness, please come here."
When Chu Heng left with the government office, the prefect of Jingzhao breathed a sigh of relief. He could not afford to offend either of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness Ning.
If these criminals were locked up with him, they would not know how many times they would come to him. He would have to settle the case quickly. If he couldn't, he would have to find a way to hand it over to another place.
The master was not here just now and didn't happen to meet Chu Heng. As soon as he came back, he saw the prefect magistrate wiping the sweat on his forehead.
It's almost November now, and it's very cold. Why did the prefect sweat so much?
"Sir, are you very hot?"
When the prefect of Jingzhao heard the master's voice, he thought that he had avoided Chu Heng so coincidentally, so he went up and slapped the master's hat.
"Will you be hot in such a cool day?" After saying this, looking around, fortunately there was no one, and my image still needs to be maintained.
"You should think of a way to let this official get rid of the people sent by His Highness Ning last night. Unexpectedly, not only His Highness Ning is concerned about this case, but His Highness the Crown Prince is also concerned about it."
Although there was no one around, it was better to whisper. The master walked to the prefect of Jingzhao and approached his ear and whispered to him, "Sir, have you not found any clues about these missing girls? You have been handed over to the Ministry of Justice? Yesterday we were just a prisoner who helped the Ministry of Justice see all night."
The master's words reminded the prefect of Jingzhao that the case had been no longer under his control. The prefect smiled with satisfaction, and he had to send these people to the Ministry of Justice immediately.
Chu Yu had been verbing for more than an hour, and he also used some punishments, but Mei'er's mouth was very hard and she just said nothing.
He just got up and wanted to do it himself, but Chu Heng walked in.
Chu Heng was also shocked when he saw Chu Yu, but he quickly returned to his usual appearance.
"I didn't expect that my ninth brother was here."
"Fourth Brother", Chu Yu saluted, "Why is the fourth brother here to see these prisoners?"
Chu Yu didn't know what Chu Heng came for. Logically, Chu Heng should only regard these people as ordinary criminals, but how can ordinary criminals be worthy of the prince's personal visit to the prison?
"I heard that my ninth brother caught the criminal who kidnapped the girl last night. The fourth brother came here to see today, and by the way, see if I could help my ninth brother get something out."
"Ninth brother, thank you fourth brother first."
Chu Heng sat in the seat Chu Yu had just sat, "Ninth brother should be trying this person, the fourth brother will sit here and not disturb you."
Chu Heng had sat down, and Chu Yu couldn't drive him away. After all, this matter had nothing to do with both of them. Chu Yu could judge him, so why couldn't Chu Heng listen on the side?
"Are you still not going to explain?"
Mei'er looked up at Chu Yu and lowered her strength. She really had no strength. She didn't expect that she would suffer the punishments she used to others one day. Although it was very uncomfortable, she would never say anything, and she would not say anything.
Chu Yu gave the two prisoners a look, and the two knew that they should be punished again.
