Ma Jizong slowly came back to his senses, "The eldest princess, is she the eldest princess?"

Yiman said helplessly: "You don't know where the bride is now, and you have seen the groom's miserable condition. Why do you care about breaking the rules for such a bad case? Besides, His Majesty already knows about this case, and he also requires you to thoroughly investigate and deal with it." Do you think he looks like the mastermind behind this? Why don't you go interrogate that Qianzhang old ghost?"

The old ghost Qianzhang was always laughing in prison. Just looking at him made him feel eerie and terrifying, and no one dared to approach him.I heard that he killed a jailer as soon as he was sent to Dali Temple and almost escaped.

Chu Nan shook his head quickly, "Please, Princess, I will make the paperwork myself."

Seeing Yiman turn around, Ma Jizong began to burst into tears, "Princess, princess, Wei Chen is wrong, wrong. Wei Chen just went to a secret prostitution place. He heard that there were new tricks and went to check it out. Wei Chen really I don’t know anything——”

He sneered disdainfully, "Where is the secret prostitution scene?"

Seeing Ma Jizong's hesitation, Yiman directly picked up the soldering iron and pointed it at his lower body.

“No, no—I said, help—it’s in Cunxin Alley in the east of the city—”

Yiman frowned and said, "Stop howling. If you make any noise again, I will let you go."

Ma Jizong immediately stopped sobbing intermittently. Chu Nan took a step forward and asked, "Princess, do you want to send troops over immediately?"

"It's daytime now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch anyone. Ma Jizong, fifth grade, who do you think is behind this?"

Chu Nan's face froze, "Princess, if there are really high-ranking officials, will you report them to Your Majesty?"

Yiman sighed, "First dispatch a group of cronies, plus the palace guards, to secretly surround the alley. Follow the people who go out one by one to see what they are going to do. If anything goes wrong, Arrest them immediately. If there are really high-ranking officials such as the Prime Minister and Assistant Secretary of the Cabinet, cover their heads and just say that they don’t know, and arrest them first."

"Yes."

Seeing Chu Nan leaving, Yiman looked at Ma Jizong again.

"Tell me, how many times have you been there? Do you know if there is a secret passage in that brothel?"

"Princess, I really don't know anything anymore."

"Who does that Qianzhang old ghost belong to, and what is the new trick you are talking about?"

Ma Jizong's face turned purple from holding back, and he gritted his teeth and was not ready to say anything.

Yiman sneered and started choosing torture tools.

A quarter of an hour later, Yiman walked out of the prison.

Seeing Zhou Yuzheng waiting aside, he smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"How did you come?"

"You come for interrogation. I'm afraid that old ghost Qianzhang will cause trouble."

"I know it's good or bad. I'm interrogating that doctor from the Ministry of Finance. He's just a soft persimmon, easy to pinch."

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, "But you want to go back to the princess mansion?"

"I want to take a look at Cunxin Alley in the east of the city. Ma Jizong said that the man behind the scenes is the prostitute there."

"it is good."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you curious about the case?"

"I'm just a little worried about Qianzhang Old Ghost targeting you. He's as uncontrollable as a wild beast."

Yiman took Zhou Yu's hand and said, "An Xin, aren't you staying with me?"

Zhou Yu nodded and led Yiman to Cunxin Alley in the east of the city and quickly found Chu Nan.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Seeing that Chu Nan had personally arranged the place, he was probably afraid that his subordinates would not be able to recognize the high officials in the court and cause some trouble.Yiman glanced around with his hands behind his back, "Is there anyone running outside?"

"No, there is no one in this house, as if it is uninhabited, and there are no people in the two or three houses next to it. Princess, did Ma Jizong confess?"

"Recruited, because the women here change very quickly and have many tricks. He is a regular customer here. The people who come here are all officials from the middle and lower levels of the court, so his official position is relatively high here. Because of this, Only then can Qianzhang Laogui experience something special."

"A special trick?" Chu Nan's face wrinkled. "It was Ma Jizong's idea to dig out the groom's private parts?"

Yiman shook his head slightly, "He said this was the first time he went out with the old ghost Qianzhang to experience it. Although the previous case was probably done by the old ghost Qianzhang, we don't know whose idea it was. He probably caught the person inside. That’s it. As for the bride—Qianzhang Old Ghost, I don’t dare to interrogate her, so it’s better to start from here faster.”

Chu Nan nodded quickly, "The princess is wise."

As night falls slowly, the house in front of me is slowly hung with red lanterns, and occasionally one or two carriages drive directly into the courtyard from the back door.

"Princess, let's do it?"

Yiman shook his head slightly, "It's just nightfall now, wait until midnight before taking action. You can only go in and out now. Once a carriage comes out, just hold it down and be careful not to make any noise."

"Yes."

As the night progressed, there was a faint smell of alcohol in the air.

The first carriage came out. Chu Nan glanced at the officer. The officer understood and immediately went to watch it personally.

After a while, the official replied with an ugly expression, "Sir, this is Mr. Wei, the sixth rank of Honglu Temple."

Yiman sneered, "Go directly to Dali Temple and quickly return to Dali Temple's prison to make room. I guess Dali Temple won't be able to hold it tonight."

"Yes."

Carriages kept coming and going, and it was not until midnight that there was some peace.

Yiman looked back and saw that there were not many people left in Dali Temple, and his face became darker and darker.

"Bai Yi, lead the guards of this palace to guard the house. No fish can escape the net. People from Dali Temple go in to arrest anyone who dares to resist. They will be killed without mercy. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it."

"Yes."

Gradually, various high-pitched screams came from inside. Half an hour later, Yiman looked at the officials escorted from the door, his face turning blue.

Yiman recognized them one by one, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more serious, "Master Zhao, Master Qian, Master Sun, Master Chu——"

Chu Nan's heart suddenly tightened when her name was suddenly called, "Princess?"

"Go back and quickly write a memorial that will be used by the court tomorrow. Your Majesty probably doesn't want to get to the bottom of this matter. If you ask clearly, he will probably handle it secretly. There are still a few of these people involved in the family, so you should consider it carefully when you write."

"Yes, thank you for the heads up, princess, I will go back now. But here -"

Yiman smiled considerately and said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on you. Then you can just go to Dali Temple to see the results."

"Yes, thank you princess."

Seeing that Chu Nan and the people from Dali Temple were almost gone, Zhi Ge came out of the house.

"Princess, the girls in the mansion have been taken to Dali Temple by the imperial guards. The highest grade four captured in the courtyard have been taken to Dali Temple."

"That means we haven't found the mastermind?"

Zhi Ge thought for a while, "I didn't find anyone special, not even the madam who is in charge of the house."

"Could it be an official or a girl who was among them and was taken to Dali Temple?"

"This can only be determined through interrogation."
