Chapter 261

Chu Yanyu looked back at the fire in the gambling house, and said coldly, "Sun Yi, add a fire and burn it! Be careful to protect the nearby houses."

"Yes." Sun Yi nodded.

"Princess, princess. How are you? Are you injured?" Xuan Yujin rushed over with a large group of yamen servants. Seeing Chu Yanyu with a dirty face, her eyes were red.

He hurried up and asked nervously, "Princess, are you injured?"

"I'm fine, you're from Jingzhao Mansion?" Chu Yanyu asked curiously.

Xuan Yujin changed the habit of the children of the aristocratic family who only knew about eating, drinking and having fun, and begged his father to get him into the officialdom, a certain position.

The dignified son of the Duke's Mansion naturally couldn't be lower, but he chose the busiest Jingzhao Mansion's justice to join the army.

Just now when Sun's residence came to report that the gambling house had surrounded the princess, he hurried over with the servants.

It just so happened that Liu Hanwen went to Jingzhao Mansion to discuss with him the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, so he followed closely.

Seeing the fire in the casino, Liu Hanwen was extremely angry, "You actually want to set the princess on fire!"

Chu Yanyu ordered, "Mr. Xuan, you ordered people to call the fire brigade, but you only hugged the houses around the gambling house. You and Master Liu will follow me to Jingzhao Mansion."

"Okay." Xuan Yujin couldn't understand.

Qingzhu took out the account book he found and presented it to Jing Zhaoyin with both hands.

The ledger is the number of fights played by the boxers who bet on boxing, the names and amounts of bettors, and all of them are rich or expensive.

Moreover, the gambling shop has been able to operate smoothly for so many years, and the forces behind it are closely related to Jingzhao Mansion and various yamen.

Jing Zhaoyin's expression changed slightly, and he asked after consideration, "What is the princess planning?"

Chu Yanyu didn't go around the bush, and directly expressed her attitude, "The gambling house tried to kill this princess in vain, and this matter must be investigated strictly. The witness witnesses are here, and all those involved in gambling must be investigated to the end!"

Jing Zhaoyin showed embarrassment.

Chu Yanyu supported the desk, approached Jing Zhaoyin, and said word by word, "I will go back to the palace and report to my father. If your lord dares to bend the law for personal gain, I will definitely let the black hat on your head move."

Jing Zhaoyin became nervous, and hurriedly bowed his hands, "Princess, please rest assured, I understand that the law is unforgiving."

Chu Yanyu stood up straight and said coldly, "Your Excellency, it's best to be like this, and don't give up your bright future for petty gains. This princess is an honorable woman in this dynasty. If you dare to kill me, this princess will not forgive me lightly!"

Jing Zhaoyin watched Chu Yanyu being surrounded and left, and wiped the sweat with his sleeve.

It was the first time he had been so close to Chu Yanyu face to face, and he was deeply convinced of the rumors that Chu Yanyu was arrogant and domineering.

Xuan Yujin was worried about Chu Yanyu, and hurried back to the government office after giving orders to the fire brigade, just when he heard Chu Yanyu's last words, he also rushed over angrily.

"My lord, I will participate in the investigation of this case."

Jing Zhaoyin secretly complained.

Xuan Yujin was under his command, so he just couldn't scold or beat him, not to mention he was a hot candidate for son-in-law, and now that he wanted to participate in the investigation of this case, he would definitely be stared at to death.

Xuan Yujin became angry when she saw his appearance.

The dignified princess was imprisoned in a gambling house and was about to be burned to death. His heart was full of anger.

Xuan Yujin saw an account book on the table, grabbed it in his hand, and patted the table, "My lord, if you don't dare to offend the people here, then I will meet the emperor and ask the emperor to send someone who dares to enforce the law impartially." Come check this out!"

Xuan Yujin left holding the account book, Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened that he grabbed him.

"My little ancestor, your father and I have been officials in the same dynasty for more than ten years, and we have a very good personal relationship, so you don't want to hurt me, okay?"

Xuan Yujin sullenly said, "Whoever dares to harm the princess, I will have trouble with anyone, the kind that kills me!"

Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to say, "Alright, Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of cases within the jurisdiction of the capital, so you will be in charge of this case, okay?"

Xuan Yujin nodded, "Okay."
