The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 639 What's the Use

"Is the master in there?" Jiang Dao asked Zhong Bai while wiping the hot and sweaty sweat from his forehead.

Zhong Bai replied: "Yes, my master is waiting for you to come."

"Okay..." Jiang Dao responded, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he seemed a little hesitant to respond again, "...Okay."

Luo Youjiang did not sit behind the desk, but sat on the side seat below the desk, as if he was waiting for Jiang Dao's arrival.

When Jiang Dao saw this for the first time, his heart skipped a beat and he stepped over the threshold and said, "Sir."

"Sit down." Luo Youjiang pointed to another armchair next to him.

Jiang Dao took a seat as he was told: "Those people..."

"Yeah." Luo Youjiang hummed softly.

This "hmm" made Jiang Dao's next words stuck in his throat: "Yes...what's the use?"

They are all veterans in the officialdom. After reading Ding Mao's move and Luo Youjiang's move, and then hearing Luo Youjiang's affirmation without hesitation in person, he thought quickly and got to the point quickly.

"Have you forgotten the case I'm working on?" Luo Youjiang knew that once Jiang Dao arrived, he would definitely ask about the use of those people. He didn't intend to hide it. The main reason was that once those people dealt with the case, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

When Jiang Dao heard about the case involving Luo Youjiang, his thoughts became clearer and smoother. He said, "I haven't forgotten... That's good."

"That's just right." Luo Youjiang sighed, "I didn't expect Ding Zhenfusi to be able to help me so much. I underestimated him before."

Ding Mao and he have never been on good terms, nor have they ever been at odds with each other.

They had such a neither-good-nor-bad relationship, but this time he was given such a big gift, which really surprised him. He treated Ding Mao differently.

Jiang Dao and Ding Mao were not very familiar with each other, but he and Luo Youjiang were of the same mind.

Luo Youjiang was entrusted with an important task by Emperor Zong to thoroughly investigate the three cases of water leakage. He was also very worried about it. Until today, many days have passed, but the case has been at a standstill. He was very worried that Luo Youjiang would be punished by Emperor Zong for his poor handling of the case.

Now that there has been progress, even though this progress was brought to him by others, he is still happy.

But he still had a question: "How did Ding Zhenfusi determine that the ruffians he sent to our Dali Temple prison were the murderers in the case at hand?"

"Is this important?" Luo Youjiang asked back, with an indifferent expression on his face. "The Confucian Temple, the Imperial Court, and the Eastern Palace, all three of these places were flooded at the same time. Let's not talk about the Eastern Palace, let's just talk about the Imperial Court and the Confucian Temple. Do you think it's something that an average person could do?"

"No." Jiang Dao said without even thinking, "Most people don't have this ability. Besides, Donggong's ability is so great that it can break the sky."

After saying that, he realized what Luo Youjiang meant: "Sir, do you think this case cannot be solved?"

"But it has to be resolved." Luo Youjiang was already exhausted from investigating the case on hand, and when he was halfway through, he encountered an obstacle.

Although the obstacle was not clearly identified, he could roughly guess what was behind it.

No matter who it is, it is someone he cannot afford to offend.

Jiang Dao didn't even know this, so he couldn't understand why Luo Youjiang didn't want to investigate further. "Can you tell me the reason why you decided to give up on investigating the truth?"

Luo Youjiang glanced at Jiang Dao with a gentle expression and said, "You and I have served together in the Dali Temple for many years. Is there anything I can't tell you?"

Then, he pointed in the direction of the East Palace. Jiang Dao didn't realize at first that Luo Youjiang was pointing in the direction of the East Palace, and was stunned for a while. Then, he reacted and his face began to look strange.

"really?"

"Guess."

After hearing Luo Youjiang say that it was just a guess, Jiang Dao gave up the investigation and his expression became more and more strange.

As far as he knows, Luo Youjiang is not a coward who is afraid of death, otherwise Luo Youjiang would not have been known as a modern-day impartial and just judge in the Three Judicial Departments.

Now he could sense that Luo Youjiang was trying to compromise.

"No evidence?"

"Which one do you think can help you get the evidence?"

Luo Youjiang's rhetorical question silenced Jiang Daowen again.

The one in the Eastern Palace was able to grow up safely after the death of Queen Meng and is about to come of age. He was not a simple master when he was young, and now that he has grown up, he is not a crown prince who can be manipulated by others.

After a while, Luo Youjiang came to his senses and said, "Well, let's not talk about whether there is any evidence or not. Let's think about whether those people should go through the motions like this and then convict them."

"Yes, this matter is urgent." Jiang Dao didn't want to think about it anymore. Sometimes thinking too much may not be a good thing.

Just as Luo Youjiang and Jiang Dao were discussing how to use those ruffians to solve the three theft cases, Meng Shisan also received the news.

The news was brought by Gao Jin: "Everyone has been taken to the Dali Temple Prison now."

Meng Shisan had wondered how long it would take Luo Youjiang to investigate the three fires before he could come up with a conclusion, or even close the case. He had never expected to receive such news today.

She didn't say anything immediately, but fell into deep thought.

She needed to think about what to do next.

Except for the case in the Eastern Palace, Gao Jin personally led people to handle both the Capital Office and the Confucian Temple. Now that the case is about to be closed, he is very happy.

After all, as long as the case is settled, he won't have to worry about this hurdle anymore.

"It would be great if this case could be successfully resolved." Fearing that there would be other troubles, Meng Shisan thought and instructed Gao Jindao, "Where were those thugs arrested and why? Do you know?"

"Those hooligans were caught by the Jinyiwei for doing something illegal. They were arrested by the Northern Pacification Office's Tiqi. It was Captain Zeng and Captain Ding who led the arrest." Before Gao Jin came to report, he first checked some of the events. "It happened today."

"Today?" Meng Shisan thought of Zeng Chongqi and Ding Lan'an whom she met near the Imperial Street. "Were those people arrested near the Imperial Street?"

"Yes, has the eldest lady also heard about it?" Gao Jinying asked.

Before Meng Shisan could say anything, Baozhu answered, "Today, Miss met Mr. Zeng and Mr. Ding near the Imperial Street!"

Gao Jin nodded: "That should be at that time."

"Miss, I didn't expect that the cousin and Mr. Ding were passing by at that time. They were on official business, but they still stopped to help you arrest the drunkard first!" Baozhu praised, "The cousin is your cousin, so he naturally treats you well. I didn't expect that Mr. Ding is also a good person!"

"Well, everything is fine." Meng Shisan answered casually.
