Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 177 Investigate the case, the princess returns

A group of four people headed towards Yuzhou government office.

The Yuzhou City Guard is only responsible for defending the city and is in charge of the [-] local guards.But Fu Yin is the parent official of the common people, the local government.

The governor of Yuzhou was waiting outside the government office early, and when he saw a carriage approaching slowly, he hurried forward to meet him, took a few people out of the carriage, and saluted, "Your official, Yao Jing, the governor of Yuzhou, see Prince, fifth prince, princess, Lord Chu!"

Ye Huan raised his hand slightly, and said flatly, "Master Yao, you don't need to be too polite."

"Yes, please. All of you, please." Yao Jingcheng said fearfully. Although he is a parent official in a city, he has never seen any big world. Among the few people in front of him, which one is not of high status?

Ye Huan nodded and walked into the back hall of the government office together with Ye Jing, followed by Chu Qingzhou and Ye Lingxue.

Among the four, in terms of status, Ye Jing was naturally the most.

Ye Jing was naturally invited to the main seat, and the other main seat, Ye Huan invited Chu Qingzhou to take a seat, Chu Qingzhou shook his head with a smile: "The fifth prince is a descendant of the emperor, so you don't have to be humble, just sit down."

Ye Huan nodded, sat down as told, and then asked Chu Qingzhou to sit too.

Yao Jing hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea, and then withdrew his servants.

Chu Qingzhou came to the government office first, so he knew everything he should know, and said to Yao Jing: "Master Yao, for the Gongjin case, His Majesty ordered King Jing to be the person in charge, and the truth is to assist. Now the five princes are walking together , his meaning is the same as that of King Jing."

Yao Jing nodded, and replied calmly: "I know that I will spare no effort to cooperate with King Jing, the Fifth Prince, and Lord Chu."

"Then submit all the materials of this case." Ye Huan said.

"Yes." Yao Jing turned around and took the documents he had prepared, handed them over, and briefly introduced, "In that case, all the victims were killed, and there were no survivors. These are the testimony of eyewitnesses."

Ye Huan took the document and looked at it, frowning slightly, and handed it to Chu Qingzhou after reading it.

Chu Qingzhou browsed quickly and handed it to Ye Lingxue. After she finished reading it, she put it down and didn't give it to Ye Jing.

Ye Jing looked calm and turned the lid of the teacup, as if she couldn't blend in with the serious and dignified atmosphere at all.

Ye Huan glanced at Ye Jing, then looked at Chu Qingzhou, and asked, "Master Chu arrived a few days earlier than me, what do you think of this case?"

Chu Qingzhou said: "This case is more troublesome. It was a case two years ago. These are files from two years ago. I think it is necessary to investigate these witnesses again."

"That's all." Ye Huan nodded.

There was a sudden noise outside, Yao Jing's complexion sank, and he asked, "What's going on outside? Who is making the noise? I wonder if Prince Jing and His Royal Highness are here?"

A servant came in and reported: "My lord, there is a woman outside who claims to be Princess Jing and wants to break in by force!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, Ye Jing was the first to react, and he walked out immediately.

Ye Huan also hurriedly got up and followed out, but Ye Lingxue froze in place, her face turned pale, and she almost doubted her ears.

Chu Qingzhou saw Ye Lingxue's expression in his eyes, his eyes moved, and he said to Ye Lingxue: "Princess Lingxue, don't you want to go out and have a look?"

Ye Lingxue was startled, smiled, and said, "Of course I want to go out and have a look!" After saying that, she ran out with her skirt in hand.

"Isn't Princess Jing missing?" Yao Jing muttered in wonder, and looked at Chu Qingzhou, hoping that he could give some hints.

Chu Qingzhou glanced at him lightly, got up slowly, and walked out slowly.

Outside the government office, a woman in white was standing with her back facing the door, her back was straight, her body was slender, half of her black hair was fixed with a simple hair accessory, and the other half hung on her shoulders.

"Miss, you are finally back, I miss you so much!" Ye Jing ran over quickly and said happily.

Su Yan turned around when he heard the sound, but before he could react, he was hugged tightly by Ye Jing, his body froze immediately, he frowned, smiled, and said, "Yes, I'm back."

Ye Jing's joy made her dazed, and she even felt the joy from his heart. This feeling made her at a loss, as if she didn't know how to face him.

"My lady, don't leave me again, okay?" Ye Jing's muffled voice came from beside her ears, as if there was a hint of pleading.

Ye Huan, Ye Lingxue, and Chu Qingzhou also walked out slowly, Su Yan gently pushed Ye Jing away, looked at Ye Huan and Chu Qingzhou, and greeted with a smile: "Fifth Brother, Lord Chu, Lingxue. "

Ye Huan said with a smile: "Sisister-in-law has really worried Fourth Brother these few days, and she finally came back."

"The next official sees the princess." Chu Qingzhou saluted humbly, then made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "It's time for the princess to come back, please come in!"

Su Yan nodded, and started to leave, but Ye Jing held his arms tightly, as if relying on her.Is this guy pretending to be too real?She frowned slightly, patted his hand, and said softly: "I'm already back, let's go, let's go in."

Ye Jing nodded again and again, with a smile on her handsome face, she took Su Yan's hand, her movements were natural and intimate.

Several people entered the back hall with smiles, only Ye Lingxue walked at the back without saying a word.

"Yao Jing, the governor of Yuzhou Prefecture, the next official, sees Princess Jing. The people below don't know the identity of the princess. If there is any offence, please ask Princess Haihan." Yao Jing stepped forward to plead guilty.

Su Yan smiled lightly: "Master Yao doesn't have to be like this, those who don't know don't blame, and my concubine naturally doesn't care about it."

Yao Jing heaved a sigh of relief, invited Ye Jing and Su Yu to the higher positions, and then ordered them to serve tea.

Ye Jing didn't go to her place, but kept holding Su Yan's hand, staring at her, not taking her eyes off, afraid that she would disappear again if he blinked.

Su Yan comforted in a low voice: "You sit down first, I will talk to the fifth brother and the others."

"Oh." Ye Jing returned to her seat obediently.

Su Yan took a sip of tea first, then saw the evidence on the table, opened his eyes, looked slightly solemn, looked at the crowd, and said: "The testimony of these witnesses is all false, they perjured themselves."

Everyone was startled, Ye Huan asked in confusion: "How did Sisao know?"

Su Yu said: "I have been investigating this matter for the past few days, and now I have made preliminary progress."

Ye Huan was even more surprised when he heard the words, looked at Su Yu and asked, "The fourth sister-in-law...isn't actually missing these days? Did she come to investigate first?"

Su Yan smiled lightly and nodded: "Come here with great fanfare. The other party is prepared, so naturally they won't find any useful information. They can only leave the other party with a chance to destroy the evidence."

Several people were startled when they heard the words, with varying degrees of surprise and astonishment on their faces.

Chu Qingzhou's smile came to the corner of his eyes, and his deep doubts were covered by his approving eyes. He looked at Su Yan and sighed slightly: "Princess Jing is really delicate and considerate, which is admirable."
