Chapter 25

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the two people in the carriage came to their senses. Shen Zhiyue pushed him away, tightened his neckline, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards the palace.

The servants on the way saw her running wildly, leaving only a fleeting figure, and saw nothing, so they felt that Miss Shen was a little strange today.

Shen Zhiyue rushed into her room, and immediately closed the door, she covered her hot cheeks, but she didn't push it away immediately, as if she was a little regretful that nothing happened just now.

This Bai Mingyu is so nervous all of a sudden, it can't be that he likes her, what about her?There are various signs that she doesn't seem to hate him, so what is she thinking about him?

Bai Mingyu got down from the carriage with a very bad expression: "Did the Secretary of Jiaofang investigate clearly? Why can I always see you?"

Yu Cong was completely stunned and split open. He is the prince's personal bodyguard, so naturally he wants to follow the prince closely. If he is not here, where can he be?
"My lord, the mother of the Jiaofangsi has admitted all the crimes. The way of accepting bribes is what she thought, and she forced the girl of the Jiaofangsi to do it according to her method."

"Does she have a phoenix symbol on her body?"

"The nanny who checked her body said that she had no other marks on her body except for one burn."

Bai Mingyu frowned and thought deeply: "Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with that person, and the clue is broken here?"

"My lord, do you think this matter is still suspicious?" Yu Cong asked.

"There are still some doubts in my heart that have not been solved. You go and find out who the nanny has come into contact with."

"Yes, my lord."

Bai Mingyu returned to the courtyard, saw the door of her room was closed, and thought that maybe his actions just now had frightened her.

He walked to the door, reached out to knock on the door, hesitated for a long time, and didn't know what to say, finally gave up and went back to the study.

Bai Mingyu laid out the things he went to Tongzhen and the brothel in chronological order, and he always felt that something was wrong. This time, the Jiaofang Secretary's buying and selling of official titles must not be something that the mother alone can operate in secret.

There are too many officials who have accepted bribes this time, and it is not possible to take them all at once for the time being, otherwise it will affect the court. According to the confessions of these people, this is not the first time they have done so.

Being able to accept bribes at the feet of the emperor without being discovered is definitely not something that a mother of the Jiaofang can do. There are still doubts about this matter.

After Yu Cong came back, he returned to the prince's study non-stop: "Return to the prince, the mother of the Jiaofang seldom goes out on weekdays, and the people she comes into contact with are basically beggars in the city, but there is one thing, there is a child who disappeared for a while.

But people like beggars have a lot of turnover, so no one pays attention to this child. In addition, according to the girls of the Jiaofang Division, the bribery was indeed instructed by the mother. "

All these evidences point to the fact that this nanny has no possibility of retracting the confession, so why did the prince not give the order?

Bai Mingyu looked at him: "Put her to death in three days, arrange a child to mix in with this group of beggars, and the guards don't need to be too strict these few days, you send someone to guard in the dark and watch carefully the dungeon."

Yu Cong was puzzled: "The lord thinks that this child may be talking? She has already proved it, so do I still need to guard it?"

Even if the confession was to be retracted temporarily, she would still die if she couldn't produce any evidence. Do you need to put so much thought into such a person?

"If you are the murderer behind the scenes, and you know that she will kill her in three days, and he is not that loyal, what will you do?"

Yu Cong suddenly understood: "It will make criminals commit suicide in fear of crime, and the subordinates will guard it."

This is very likely to catch the person behind the scenes, and finally there are new clues to the corruption case.

Shen Zhiyue's voice came from the next door: "Bai Mingyu, do you believe in your intuition?"

What happened during the day was quite embarrassing, but she was standing by the window to breathe, not deliberately eavesdropping, she could only say that his door was not closed tightly.

"I said that this king is handling official business, so you are not allowed to eavesdrop."

His words sounded harsh, but his voice was extremely gentle. He thought she had experienced what happened during the day and would not talk to him again.

Shen Zhiyue came out of the room and walked into his study: "I'm not deaf, next time you talk about business, can you close the door tightly."

Yu Cong knelt on the ground immediately: "My lord, it's my subordinate's fault. Be careful next time."

The key point is that no one else has ever lived in this yard. Every time they come back from the battlefield, they always go straight.

Shen Zhiyue saw that the guard was about to suffer, so she couldn't help but speak for him: "Bai Mingyu, don't change the subject, do you believe in your intuition, I don't think Nanny is a bad person."

"You can't rely on intuition to investigate a case." He needs evidence.

"To sell an official position, first of all, there must be a high-ranking person covering the sky with one hand behind his back, and then the person under him, but I think that if this person is in the capital, he will not take the risk of meeting each other, so the Jiaofang Secretary's deal It is absolutely impossible to see this person’s face.”

Bai Mingyu said, "Go ahead."

"So they must have their own unique way of communication. You should only have letters or codes here. If it's a letter, it's probably already turned into ashes. If it's a code, it's a new clue." Shen Zhiyue looked at him.

Bai Mingyu looked at Yu Cong: "Where are the two people who caused trouble in the Jiaofang Division now?"

"In the dungeon, my subordinates have interrogated. One of them didn't know anything and just followed orders, while the other scholar was able to speak quite well, but it was all nonsense."

Bai Mingyu got up: "Go to the dungeon."

Shen Zhiyue followed immediately: "I'll be with you, and by the way, I'll go see if there are any clues from Mammy's side."

"You are not allowed to go."

What if this nanny wants to protect herself and put her mind on her? He doesn't allow her to be in any danger.

"Bai Mingyu, I have to participate in the nanny's case. If you don't bring me along, I will go by myself."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Bai Mingyu said, "Give me a reason."

"As long as you let me participate, the conditions are up to you." Shen Zhiyue was not sure if this Bai Mingyu was reliable, so she couldn't rush to tell her life experience.

"Let me mention it?" There is something I want to finish with her.

Shen Zhiyue nodded: "You can mention it."

She thought that she had nothing and he couldn't get anything from her, so it was probably just to make things difficult for her.

"Yu Cong, starting today, you will protect her personally and go to the dungeon."

When they arrived at the dungeon, they parted ways. Shen Zhiyue walked to the nanny's cell, and Yu Cong said, "Miss Shen, the prince ordered you not to have close contact."

"Go away, I have something to say to my mother."

Yu never looked at it worriedly, then walked a little further, Shen Zhiyue approached the cell: "You asked me to find Mr. Jia, I will go."

Mammy looked at her, was she the same as herself, recognized at a glance, Qianxue, she has been indifferent to the world all her life, but why is she so beautiful.

"Master Jia means to let go of the past and cherish the present, so you can let go too."
