After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 419 Vicious
"Sir."

Mu Zhao lifted the curtain a little, and Chang Qing rode forward and handed him a handwritten letter, saying in a low voice, "Urgent news."

Yu Linlang glanced at him without saying much, and poured herself another cup of fruit tea, sipping it in small sips.

When Mu Zhao finished reading the handwritten letter and looked at her, she looked at him in astonishment, "Is it related to me again?"

"No." Mu Zhao smiled and handed her the handwritten letter. "The former Jinzhou prefect, Pei Yongjie, the second branch of the Pei family, and his entire family were killed by villains during exile, and the entire family was wiped out."

Yu Linlang quickly put down the cup and took the letter, quickly skimmed through it, and was a little shocked, "Are they all dead?"

"It looks like there is really no one left alive."

Yu Linlang read it again, then raised her head and exchanged glances with Mu Zhao.

Although the handwriting is illegible, it is written in great detail and clarity.

The number of deaths was listed on it, and Pei Yongjie's head was found, with a very hastily drawn portrait inserted in it.

All twenty-seven members of the second branch of the Pei family died on the way to Lingnan. They were even two thousand miles away from the border town where they were exiled.

The hand report stated that they were robbed by sand bandits.

"So the escort officers and other exiles are also included?"

Mu Zhao sighed, "Well, the Empress Dowager is very ruthless, there is no way she could leave anyone alive."

"It can only be said that it was a blessing in disguise. Most of the exiled prisoners were exiled to Qianzhou, and only five seriously sentenced prisoners were exiled to the border town with the second branch of the Pei Mansion."

Mu Zhao tapped his fingers and reported, "Including the six accompanying yamen runners, a total of thirty-eight people died in this so-called sand bandit incident."

Yu Linlang sneered and mocked, "That person would kill her own daughter without hesitation. The second wife? In her eyes, they are just trash. They can die at will. It's just like clearing the weeds."

Mu Zhao shook her hand and said, "Don't worry about anything else. Just go to the government office and I will take care of everything else."

Ling He slumped down in his chair. "When will the governor of Junzhou take office? The court should give us double the monthly salary."

"Get up, get up." Chi Tu came over quickly and patted his head with the scroll in his hand. "Accompany me to the Zheng Mansion. There is a case to investigate."

"I just took my men to compile a list of the girls overnight and handed it over to the Dali Temple. I haven't even had time to catch my breath yet!"

"Get up~~" Chi Tu grabbed Ling He's hair, "I told you to get up and work!"

Yu Linlang walked in with a cup of Aishangni fresh fruit tea and saw this chaotic scene.

The two people who were pulling each other's hair quickly retracted their claws, ran towards her, took the brown paper bag and smiled happily.

"Huhu, you are the best. You know how to bring food to your brother."

Yu Linlang glanced at him and asked, "Is everything completed?"

"That's right." Ling He took a bite of the biscuit and drank a sip of tea. "Hu Hu, do you still remember the leader of the Zhu Family Class?"

"Has the execution been made after the autumn?"

Ling He said solemnly, "Master Zhu and his followers all committed suicide by taking poison."

"All nine dead?"

Linghe nodded.

"Where did the poison come from?" Yu Linlang was quite puzzled, but she was not upset. Anyway, if these people didn't die in prison, they wouldn't live to see autumn.

What she wondered was where these people got the poison?

"I remember that before I went to Jinzhou Prefecture to do my work, this Zhu Banzhu almost escaped from prison, right?"

"Yes." Chitu nodded in affirmative reply, "He didn't escape..."

She paused, quite curious, "Huhu, you mean, maybe he didn't want to escape at that time? But he was handing over the poison to someone in the chaos?"

"You are so depressed." Ling He took a sip of tea to calm down. "And the origins of the actresses in the Zhu Family Troupe, Huhu, do you know? They all came from Shuiyue Temple."

Yu Linlang nodded. She had always felt that the quality of the actors in this small Zhu family troupe was quite high. It turned out that the channel suppliers had sufficient supply.

"Master Zhu is still talking nonsense, saying that they picked up street kids from the street, but they are clearly imported from Shuiyue Temple." Chi Tu said indignantly, "According to investigation, there are about seven to ten Shuiyue Temples in Da Qi, scattered across the east, west, south and north. There may be some hiding in more secret places that we have not been able to find yet."

"The Dali Temple is busy anyway." Ling He gloated, "But our first-hand information is really well organized, and it helps them a lot!"

"A Shuiyue Temple has become a chain business that has blossomed everywhere." Yu Linlang sneered, "Based on this alone, Pei Yang's death is not unjust at all."

"Isn't it?" Chitu curled his lips. "Master Ximen said that when the court was dismissed yesterday, the emperor called you away alone?"

Yu Linlang couldn't help rolling her eyes when she mentioned this, "Well, they want to arrange a marriage for me with the eldest brother of the Pei family."

"Puff..." Chi Tu spat out a mouthful of tea and choked.

Ling He opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, "Arranged marriage for you? Pei Su? Why is the Pei family so desperate?"

Yu Linlang jumped up when she heard this, with a confident look on her face, "What's wrong with me? Look at me, it's like I'm terrible! I'm so pretty, and the girls chasing after me are lining up all the way from Shangjing to the snowy plains of the Northern Territory!"

Chitu wiped his mouth and silently put down the fruit tea, "Huhu, we don't think you are a bad person."

"Yes, you are very kind. We just think the Pei family is blind." Ling He answered naturally, "How dare they marry you? Aren't they afraid that the happy event will turn into a sad one and you will wipe out the whole family?"

Yu Linlang picked up a file and threw it at his head, "Ah, bah, you said I was so cruel, am I that kind of person?"

Linghe ran faster than a rabbit and headed straight out the door, laughing, "I'll go get someone to prepare the carriage!"

Chi Tu stepped forward and took Yu Linlang's hand, "Let's go to the Zheng family."

"The student Zhou from Huakang Academy who reported the case is now living with his aunt, the Hanlin scholar Zheng."

"Zheng Hanlin?" Yu Linlang lowered her eyes in thought, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

"That's the girl you saved earlier, Zheng Manting's father."

"Oh!" Yu Linlang suddenly realized, "She went home?"

"Yeah." Chi Tu couldn't help but sigh. "It's easier to arrange for the girls near the outskirts of Beijing. They weren't kidnapped for long, so most of them were arranged to go home. The few who cried and said their reputations were ruined and they couldn't go home were temporarily placed in small courtyards near the government office."

"Those girls who were transported all the way from Jiangnan." Chi Tu sighed, "According to them, they have been away from home for at least three months. They all cried and said they couldn't go back. If they went back, they would end up with green lamps and ancient Buddhas or hanging by a rope."

"What about these girls?" Yu Linlang frowned.

"Well, I can only say that I will try my best. I will go to Jiangnan first to contact their families and see if they are willing to come and pick them up."

"But I think it's very risky." Chi Tu took her arm and walked out. "It's not like we haven't encountered this kind of thing before. Most of the kidnapped girls we rescued would be disliked by their families."
