Chapter 132 Progress
Du Zifeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Madam, you don't look very well. What's wrong? Don't you recognize this person?"
"This man, Guo Zhong, was found in a mass grave three days ago. Seeing that he was still alive, someone kindly rescued him."
"Mrs. Guo, with this witness here, who do you think will win?"
"We didn't go directly to the government office, but just to give General Guo some face. After all, he just died, and we don't want to make things too ugly."
The most important thing is that he can only follow his boss's orders.
Before Chu Xiang could say anything, Guo Sen's deputy general Zhang Huai came over with a group of men.
"What happened? Why are you all gathered in front of the general's mansion?"
Yuan Man, who was watching, sat up straight at once. She heard a secret guard report to Hui Chengyuan that the two were having an affair.
Chu Xiang felt like she had seen a savior when she saw Zhang Huai, but before she could speak, Du Zifeng stepped forward and told her what had happened.
"In that case, shouldn't we come and claim back Zhuangzi's losses?"
"We have delayed until now only because General Guo just died. Now that seven days have passed, we must get what we deserve back."
Zhang Huai frowned and looked at Chu Xiang. He didn't believe that this weak woman in front of him would do such a thing, but the evidence was all there and he didn't know how to defend her.
Seeing this, Chu Xiang's eyes immediately turned red and he said, "Huai, General Zhang, they are purely slandering me. I don't admit what they said I did."
Seeing her like this, Zhang Huai immediately softened his heart.
Du Zifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a sigh: "Then we just need to meet at the government office and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make the decision for us."
Chu Xiang gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Huai, hoping that he could help him deal with this group of people.
But Zhang Huai was afraid of the prince, so how could he do anything wrong while the prince was still here?
When Yuan Man saw Yuan Er coming back, he immediately looked at him and asked, "How is it, did you find anything?"
Yuan Er nodded, "I found a stack of letters in Chu Xiang's room. They were from a man named Sha Ling and Jin Han."
"The letter mentioned the destination of the cattle and sheep. They were to be sent to a certain place in the border areas."
"There is also a packet of medicine, I don't know what it is, and various deeds and banknotes."
Yuan Man looked at Chu Xiang. She didn't look like a foreigner.
The person who sold the seeds mentioned before that the people from the border countries look different from the people from other countries. She thinks they will be as different as the foreign people.
Now, not sure.
However, there has been new progress in this matter.
"Go tell Du Zifeng that you can take the person to the government office now."
Only by gathering people at the door to cause trouble will the people in the Guo Mansion be unable to suppress their curiosity and come to watch the fun. Naturally, there will be fewer people in the backyard, or even no people at all. This will make it more convenient for Yuan Er to act.
Once the things are found, we should go to the government office to deal with it. We also have to find a reason to search for the things.
I don’t know if Hui Chengyuan has returned. He has not been seen in the military camp for three days.
Yuan Man went downstairs while thinking about it, and raised his eyebrows when he saw someone coming out of the box opposite.
The person opposite didn't seem to expect to meet her here. He was stunned for a moment before bowing and saying, "Greetings, Crown Princess."
Although she really didn't want to call her the Crown Princess, His Majesty and the Queen Mother both agreed, and everyone changed their words naturally, and she could only follow the crowd.
Yuan Man raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Why did Miss Yao come to Chicheng?"
Yao Manman lowered her eyes and said, "My daughter is here to visit relatives."
"Oh, then please do as you please." Yuan Man said and went downstairs first.
Yao Manman looked at her leaving back and the child in her arms, and was stunned for a moment.
"Miss, are you still going to the Guo Mansion?" asked the maid who followed her.
Yao Manman shook her head. "My uncle has passed away, so there is no reason for me to go. Let's arrange for someone to find an inn and stay there."
The eldest maid frowned and said, "It's too unsafe to stay in an inn."
"It's okay. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, no one will cause trouble at this time." Yao Manman waved her hand indifferently.
What she was thinking about was how to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Her idea was the same as that of many other daughters in Kyoto. Since the Crown Prince was going to marry, he would have a concubine. If she couldn't be the Crown Prince's consort, being a concubine would be fine.
Isn't it the same for the present emperor? Before he married the queen, no woman was close to him. But after he ascended the throne, he began to take concubines.
Once she enters the palace and is crowned a concubine, it will all depend on her ability, and she has absolute confidence that she can defeat that woman.
Yuan Man did not go to the yamen to watch the play, but went straight back to his house.
Seeing the person coming towards him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Have you finished your work at the military camp?"
Hui Chengyuan nodded and took the ingot from her arms, "After we deal with the Guo family's affairs, I will play with you again."
"Okay." Yuan Man smiled and followed him into the house.
"Hey, you're here, who's going to try the case at the county court?"
Hui Chengyuan looked at her in confusion, "What are you trying to tell me?"
"Oh, you don't know yet." Yuan Man told him what happened today, "Now we just need to find a reason to search Chu Xiang's room, and we can find evidence to prove that Guo Sen's death was related to her."
"Perhaps we can find out why she wanted to kill Guo Sen, or who ordered her to kill Guo Sen."
Hui Chengyuan just sat down and stood up again, "Then I'll go over and take a look."
Seeing him walking away with Yuanbao in his arms, Yuanman followed him with amusement, "Are you still planning to try the case while holding Yuanbao in your arms?"
Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes and looked at his son in his arms, raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible."
"Okay, you're not afraid of scaring him, just give me the ingot." Yuanman took the ingot from his arms.
"Why don't you come over and take a look together?" Hui Chengyuan asked when he saw her turning back.
"No, just come back and tell me the result." Yuanman said, then carried Yuanbao into the courtyard.
Hui Chengyuan sighed inwardly, he hadn't seen anyone for three days. If he saw him again, something would happen again.
Thinking of this, his eyes became fierce and he walked towards the county government office.
Yao Manman stood at the window of the inn's room looking outside, wondering in her heart where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be.
She should have followed the Crown Princess just now, so that she could know where the Crown Prince lived.
When she saw the prince coming from the street, her eyes lit up and she went downstairs immediately.
Seeing the prince enter the county government office, he immediately followed him.
Looking at the huge crowds of people gathered outside, I couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Asking her to squeeze in was impossible, but if she didn't squeeze in, how could she see what was happening inside?
So she asked the maid to arrange a few guards to escort her to the front.
Seeing the prince sitting on the high hall with a dignified look on his face, a look of obsession appeared in his eyes.
When Hui Chengyuan arrived, the case had almost been concluded. Since Zhang Huai had been making trouble, the county magistrate was unable to make a judgment.
Seeing him, the county magistrate immediately gave up his seat and felt relieved.
