Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 195 The Crown Prince is Confined to the Eastern Palace

Su Jinyu learned that these people did not burn, kill, or plunder, but only robbed money. He could not judge for a moment that they were all fatherless and motherless people. In order to survive, the nearest place belonged to Ganzhou County, so as the magistrate of Ganzhou County, he could not ignore the law and could only detain them.

"As the saying goes, there are things you can do and things you can't do. Although your actions did not endanger lives, the law is strict. Since I am the magistrate of Ganzhou County, I cannot be partial. I will punish you for ten days without any punishment. This is the lightest punishment I can give. Do you disagree?" Su Jinyu has not officially taken office yet, and the first case has been decided.

"We are convinced, and thank you for not killing us, sir." Everyone knelt down

"This inn belongs to Wuming. If you have nowhere to go after you are released from prison and are willing to do some small business, I will temporarily let you run this inn. Although you can't make much money, I think this road is the only way to Ganzhou County. In the future, when Ganzhou County gets better, there will be a constant stream of caravans and pedestrians coming here. What do you think?" Su Jinyu suggested to them. He also believed that Ganzhou County would slowly recover under his and Jiuer's governance.

"As for Jiang Chen, he will stay with us as a constable. If he makes meritorious contributions, he won't have to go to jail for ten days. But I'm afraid it will be hard to convince everyone, so I'll use twenty lashes of the cane in total. You will be executed when you all arrive in Ganzhou County."

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Chen was extremely grateful. You are fair and strict. You are very courageous at a young age, and you are clear about rewards and punishments. Can I enjoy the prosperity of Ganzhou County in the past?

Jiang Chen ordered everyone to put their belongings back into the carriage, and distributed all his savings over the years to everyone, telling them not to do this again in the future, and to turn over a new leaf after they get out.

The servants at the other table had no idea what was going on. They looked at these people cleaning the upstairs and serving them. Then Ah San came over and told them the general situation and warned them to observe where the public opinion went in the future to avoid causing trouble for the young master.

Everyone looked guilty and said they would be more careful next time

Wenjiu and the others went upstairs to take a bath and rest. They would probably reach Ganzhou County tomorrow.

"Xiao Jiujiu, are the things you asked me to prepare ready?"

"Don't worry, Master. We have prepared everything. We have all kinds of food. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"That's fine, I think Jiang Chen's cooking skills are pretty good, hehe"

"Master, what evil ideas are you planning again? Your smile is a bit eerie."

"I won't reveal it for now. Let's see what he cooks tonight."

Of course she thought of a good idea, but she couldn't let Bai Zhi, a weak little girl, run around all the time. She made up her mind and closed her eyes for a while.

When Bai Zhi came to call her, it was already dark.

"Miss, are you awake?"

"come in"

"Miss, Jiang Chen prepared a lot of food tonight, saying it's for celebration. We're waiting for you to come downstairs, so we can start eating." Bai Zhi wet the towel for her.

"Have all the brothers gone down?"

"Yes, I am waiting for you, young lady. I think you are tired from running around these days. After you finish eating, you can come up to rest. The eldest master said that we have to set off early tomorrow and try to arrive before dark."

"Okay, got it"

"Jiu'er, are you hungry?" Su Jinyu looked at the warm wine on the stairs and asked gently.

"Miss, Miss!" Xuan Ling ran over, eating a chicken leg in her mouth, like a fool.

"So hungry?" Wen Jiu wiped her mouth.

"Miss, this chicken leg is delicious, you should try it." Xuan Ling strongly recommended it. She thought delicious things must taste good.

"Miss Xuanling likes it. I will make it for you often in the future." Jiang Chen said with a smile

"Miss, please" Jiang Chen bent down and stretched out his hand

The two sides of the conversation, Beijing

"Master, you should also take care of your rest. You have been awake for two days. The Crown Prince has been confined to the Eastern Palace by the Emperor. All matters in hand have been handed over to the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince respectively. They are busy for the time being." Qingfeng persuaded while holding a meal in his hand.

"Now it's just a matter of them separating temporarily. What I want is for them to be suspicious of each other and fight among themselves, so that they have no time to bother others and will not be able to cause trouble to her in the future." Xiao Jue was talking about this "she", Qingfeng knew who it was

"Master, you have to eat something even if it's for the Crown Prince's wife. Take care of yourself." Qingfeng put the food on the desk.

Xiao Jue had no choice but to pick up the food and started eating. Qingfeng was still sighing that only the Crown Prince's Consort could cure the Master.

"Has anything happened between the General's Mansion and my brother-in-law recently?"

"The Third Young Master of the General's Mansion and the First Young Master Wen seem to have formed a caravan and are heading to the Western Regions."

"What? They're not in Beijing?" Xiao Jue slammed the table, angrily.

"No, they are in the capital, they just formed a caravan. The caravan has set off. Blame your subordinates." Qingfeng was so scared that he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, afraid that he would be sent to practice more. This was specially ordered by the Crown Princess! He was watching closely.

“Remember to make your statement clear next time.”

"Yes"

"Master" Qinglong knocks at the door

"Come in"

Qinglong pushed the door open and entered.

"Master, today the Seventh Prince Consort and the Second Prince's wife met outside. They disguised themselves to avoid everyone, but they were all very alert. The subordinates did not dare to approach them. I did not hear what they said clearly." Qinglong said, looking at Xiao Jue.

"Well, keep a close eye on them. If they have seen it once, there will definitely be another time. We need to find out what their purpose is. Do you have any information about Yan Xiu's identity?"

"It was wiped clean. I will continue to investigate. Ziyuan came back last night and brought back a piece of news."

"Let her in for questioning." Xiao Jue took a sip of soup and finished eating.

"Master" Ziyuan kneels on one knee to show respect

"Get up, what's the news?"

"On the way back, I ran into Jiang Zixiong's men. They didn't notice my disguise at the time. They were just plotting a blueprint in the capital. Although their voices were low, I heard the words 'Beijing' and 'Imperial Palace'." Zi Yuan stood up and replied.

"When I was eavesdropping, a waiter came in with food without knocking, and was killed by them."

"Do you remember their appearance?" Xiao Jue looked at her.

"As long as you don't change your appearance, I will remember it even if I turn into ashes." Zi Yuan has an excellent memory

"That's fine. You follow up on this clue. Qinglong, you are responsible for investigating what I just told you. As for you..." Xiao Jue looked at Qingfeng.

"Master's order" Qingfeng waited excitedly

"Secretly protect the General's Mansion and my brother-in-law,"

"That's it...?" Qingfeng felt ignored. Qinghu was sent to protect the Crown Prince's Consort, Qinglong and Ziyuan also had missions, and he... was he going to follow these two young masters from aristocratic families around the streets all day?

"Why? Unwilling?" Xiao Jue said in a light tone.

"How could that be? This is my honor. I will definitely complete the task well," Qingfeng assured righteously.

"Well, let's all go down."

"Master, take a rest. We are leaving now." The three of them left.
