Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 193 Captured
Yanying Hall

Yiman stood at the bottom, his head lowered, his expression unclear.

"How is the investigation going on the Chunwei examination room case?"

"Back to Your Majesty, someone poisoned some students, causing them to hallucinate and enter the Imperial College next to the Gongyuan. Therefore, the mastermind behind the incident was locked on the overweight official."

The emperor nodded, "It must be the officials in the court. The Chunke New Deal cannot be relaxed and must be carried out together."

No matter who does this, he wants to drag the family into trouble?

"I will do my best to implement the New Deal reforms, but this case still needs evidence."

The emperor took a deep look and said, "You can do whatever you want, I only see the results."

"Yes."

Returning to the study room in the mansion, Yiman sighed deeply.

A figure suddenly appeared behind him and pinched Yiman's shoulders.

"lighter."

Zhou Yu put down the strength on his hands and moved away the pain in his shoulders and neck.

"The conflict between the emperor and the aristocratic family is becoming more and more urgent. I'm afraid that this Chunwei case will become a flash point if Chunke's new policy is implemented."

"The peripheral branches of the Zhou family are slowly moving out of the capital. Only the direct line is left. They can wait for you to succeed in seizing the direct line and return to Jindu."

Yiman turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu, "Why are those side branches willing to leave this prosperous place in the capital?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "Is there anyone who needs help with this Chunwei case?"

Yiman sighed and said, "Hua Xiang is starting with the candidates. There is no news yet. After all, there are dozens of them. I have ruled out the members of the East Palace. Can you help me rule out the possibility of the aristocratic family committing the crime?"

Zhou Yu responded in a low voice, "No problem, but this is not enough."

"Yes, even if we can target so many people, there is no evidence. Without evidence, there is no way to make a law."

"I remember you never cared about evidence before?"

He was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Brother Huang said that the evidence is very important, and you should not try to forge it again."

Zhou Yu sighed and hugged Yiman from behind, "When something happens to the prince, I don't dare to disturb you."

Yiman took Zhou Yu's arm and said, "I know that you come to see me secretly at night. You are afraid that my body will not be able to hold on, so you put a lot of medicine overtly and covertly."

The tips of Zhou Yu's ears were slightly red, "It's not like secretly at night."

Yiman smiled and was about to turn around when an announcement came from outside, "Princess, Mr. Hua wants to see you."

Yiman quickly looked around, then pulled Zhou Yu behind the screen, "You hide here first."

He suddenly stopped and saw Zhou Yu's strange eyes.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yu laughed and turned red, "Do you think we are having an affair?"

The tips of Zhou Yu's ears turned red, and he nodded with a smile in his eyes.

"Princess?"

Hearing Lu Bo's voice outside, Manman raised his eyebrows, grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and returned to his seat.

"Find a seat for yourself."

Zhou Yu took a deep look at Man and silently sat on the first seat next to him.

"Enter."

After hearing the sound, Lu Bo brought Hua Xiang in.

The two of them were stunned as soon as they came in. Lu Bo knew it, but at this time he kept winking at Yiman.

Hua Xiang saw Zhou Yu frowning and looked at Yiman, "The eldest princess has a distinguished guest, and the minister will come back later."

"No need, how is the investigation going?"

Hua Xiang glanced at Zhou Yu, seemingly on guard.Yiman cleared his throat, "Zhou Yu and I, um... Zhou Yu"

Hua Xiang's expression slowly turned ferocious.

Zhou Yu suddenly said with a calm expression, "I want to propose marriage to the eldest princess."

The expressions of the two people in the study were particularly exciting, Lu Bo looked excited, and Hua Xiang looked horrified.

Hua Xiang moved a few steps, slowly approached the desk, and lowered his voice, "Princess, even if you want to deal with a noble family, you can't feed a tiger with your body."

Yiman rolled his eyes, "He is the one feeding the tiger with his own body."

Lu Bo couldn't help laughing, he quickly retracted his expression and stood aside with his head lowered.

Yiman cleared his throat, "Anyway, don't spread this matter. Don't worry about it. You can talk about the case first."

Hua Xiang quickly sorted out his thoughts and glanced at Zhou Yu, "Yes, those more than 50 students all come from poor families, and a few are the children of merchants who changed their household registration to participate in the Spring Festival.

They lived in several inns and temples respectively, and ate mostly different foods.Wei Chen also took the doctor to the inn where they stayed, but found nothing strange. "

"What do you think?"

Hua Xiang glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "Wei Chen thought that this matter must be related to the noble family."

Yiman took a deep breath, "The direction is so obvious, I don't think it's like a noble family, it seems like someone deliberately framed it."

Seeing that Hua Xiang always glanced at Zhou Yu every time he spoke, he frowned, "Did you find out that it was related to the Zhou family?"

"Princess."

Hearing Hua Xiang's earnest words, Yiman immediately looked at Zhou Yu, "What's up with the Zhou family?"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, "I have been staring at the side branches on the family tree during this period, not them."

Yiman looked at Hua Xiang and said, "Just tell me what you found out. I believe Zhou Yu. If it really has something to do with him and the country, I won't show any mercy."

Hua Xiang sighed, "Okay, princess, I checked the official office of the Imperial College. Because it was the time of the scientific examination, there were no officials to borrow it, but it was borrowed one day in advance by a group of children from aristocratic families who were showing their prestige.

Wei Chen took the portraits of the children of major aristocratic families and asked people to identify them one by one.Two officers recognized a man, the second son of the Zhou family - Zhou Wu. "

Seeing his expressionless face, Hua Xiang sighed again.

Yiman tapped the table twice with his fingers, "This way there is a witness, but where is the physical evidence?"

Hua Xiang was stunned, "Aren't you going to show mercy, Princess?"

Smiling broadly, "I told you no mercy, don't you believe me? Fortunately, it's the Zhou family. With my relationship with Zhou Yu, it might be easier to arrest him. Where is the physical evidence?"

Hua Xiang saw Mr. Zhou sitting silently beside him, "The physical evidence has not been found yet, but the imperial doctor has almost found out what kind of poison it is. As long as the poison is found, the medicinal materials and source can be found, and then there will be physical evidence. But Mr. Zhou ——”

Zhou Yu stood up, "I'll go back to the house first and have the door closed, and then let the secret guards keep an eye on him."

"Wait a minute, Zhou Wu is not weak yet, and he is a son of a noble family. Once he is arrested, his father will definitely use the Zhou family's connections, and he will definitely get in front of Zhou Shilang. Once you refuse, this will be an infighting within the Zhou family. .”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Isn't this a good opportunity to weaken the Zhou family openly? I can just use this to get rid of the people in my direct lineage who have second thoughts."

Yiman nodded, "As long as you are prepared, we will come to arrest you tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the house."

Yiman nodded with a smile and Zhou Yu walked out of the study.

Hua Xiang stared blankly at the interaction between the two, "Is this the end?"

Yiman smiled, "Otherwise, what do you want?"

"The person you want to arrest is the second son of the Zhou family?"

He sighed helplessly, "You don't have to worry about it. In addition to poisoning the students, what other methods were used to confuse the students. After all, those students even wrote articles, which shows that they are not completely unconscious."

Hua Xiang replied quickly: "There were also several young masters from aristocratic families who assisted. They obtained the portraits of the officials who were invigilating the exam in advance, and also found a few craftsmen who carved shadow puppets, and then they got through."

Yiman still felt a lot of doubts in his heart, "That's it?"

Hua Xiang nodded, "Those craftsmen have already caught it, that's what they said."

Yiman frowned, who gave these dudes the idea?
