She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 439: Yuancheng, Yanyu Tower
After returning to the palace, Mo Yunzheng went to look for the files of the local government office in Yuancheng. He found some relevant information according to what was written on the petition.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder why you are suddenly interested in the affairs of Yuancheng?" Minister Su, who was in charge of organizing the files, spoke up immediately. The files were full of irrelevant information and there was nothing important in them.

Mo Yunzheng carefully read all the information written on the file, but he still felt unsure.

"Why are there so few files in Yuancheng?" There are only two or three files here, which is really too few.

Yuancheng is a place that was included in the territory by my father since the founding of the country. There should be at least dozens of volumes of files.

"Your Highness, many files were lost during the warehouse relocation, and the most lost files were those of the original city."

Mo Yunzheng was in a low mood. Was this a man-made disaster or a natural disaster? There must be a big secret hidden in it.

"Send these to the East Palace."

Upon hearing this, Minister Su immediately knelt before him and said, "Your Highness, without an imperial decree, this file cannot be moved at will."

He was allowed to come in and check the files only because he was the crown prince. These things would not be shown to outsiders without the permission of the imperial edict.

"Just deliver it. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Mo Yunzheng patted his chest. If anything else really happened, Donggong would naturally bear the responsibility.

In the huge courtyard, Mo Qingsong glanced at the eunuch kneeling in front of him, then picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

"You said that the prince is investigating the matter in Yuancheng?" The eunuch nodded immediately. This was the news that had just come.

It seems that something really happened.

Mo Qingsong raised his hand, the eunuch immediately retreated, and then a black shadow appeared in front of him.

"How did the incident in Yuancheng happen?" Why did the people seeking justice come to the foot of the imperial city? How did they do things?

Only when things got to this point did he realize whether they had to wait for the emperor to know before they would report the matter.

"Your Highness, the singer from the Misty Rain Tower committed suicide. Before she did, she wrote a letter to her family, which led to this incident." The singer's letter was extremely touching, so naturally her family members reported the matter to the government when they saw it.

"How did the government handle it?" Mo Qingsong spoke slowly.

"The government office has chased the person away." The visitor lowered his head and did not dare to look up at the person in front of him. The government office did not intervene in the matter at all, but asked the singer's family to tell everyone, and when they had no other choice, they reported the matter to the prince.

"Lichuan, this is how you do things! I handed Yanyu Tower over to you to make money! Not to let you cause trouble for me!"

Mo Qingsong was furious and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

What the hell! He worked so hard to build it, but it was ruined by a singer. What the hell is that?

"The singer's family reported the incident to the prince. Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Mo Qingsong was a little bit unconvinced. If he wanted to tell someone casually, he should have gone to an official, but he had to go to Mo Yunzheng who was out incognito.

"I checked. They didn't know it was the prince's carriage. They just thought that anyone who could sit in the carriage must be an official of the imperial court. That's why they took the risk."

Lichuan spoke up immediately. Who would have thought that the singer's family was so lucky that they could get the prince to investigate the matter.

Mo Qingsong suddenly felt a headache. He had a lot of businesses outside, but business was getting harder and harder these days, so he opened the Yanyu Tower.

"Go back and clean up everything that needs to be cleaned up. If anything happens again, you will be beheaded." Lichuan immediately agreed, then turned and left.

Mo Qingsong sat on the stool with a frown on his face. This matter was not a small one, but if it was resolved early, there would be no trouble later.

Yuancheng is a small city, but it is a fortress, and many trade goods have to flow through Yuancheng.

In the study room of the West Palace, Mo Yunzheng spent the whole day reading through Yuan Cheng's files, not missing a single detail.

"Your Highness, Master Shang is here."

The eunuch came in to report and brought the person in as well.

Mo Yunzheng immediately stood up to greet him. The man in front of him was about the same age as him, but at such a young age he had already become the head of the palace academy. His literary talent was amazing, and not many people could learn it.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder why you are looking for me here?" Master Shang spoke immediately. He and the Crown Prince were old friends, but in order to avoid suspicion, they didn't spend much time together.

Ever since he took the throne of the crown prince, he had to be careful in everything he did, so he focused on teaching in the academy.

"Okay, then stop being so polite to me." Mo Yunzheng smiled helplessly. They grew up together, but now he still feels distant from them.

His original name was Shang Chengfeng. He was a master in the academy and his family was also a family of civil officials. He was envied by many military officers.

"Sit down." Mo Yunzheng patted the cushion beside him. He called him over today because he had something to ask him.

In his early years, he had been to Yuancheng for a trip, and he was much more familiar with everything in Yuancheng than himself.

"Yuan City is an important trading place, and countless goods flow through it every day." Therefore, the personnel there are extremely complex, with all kinds of people, and many merchant owners have settled there.

"Have you heard of Yanyu Tower?" Mo Yunzheng spoke slowly. Every word on the petition was heartbreaking, exposing the evil within Yanyu Tower.

Shang Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "I've heard of it, but they said it was just a place for scholars to have fun, a quiet and elegant place." The locals said it was not a brothel, but he didn't know what was going on inside.

Yanyu Tower sounds like a good name, but no one knows what is going on inside.

"This petition says that the woman was forced into prostitution and took human life lightly. It is all of the evil things Yanyulou has done."

Mo Yunzheng frowned when he said this. It was still unknown whether what was written on it was true or false.

"You want to investigate this matter?" Shang Chengfeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he had developed a nosy nature.

Mo Yunzheng nodded immediately. He would take care of the matter and he would also clear the names of those women.

"Your Highness, you are now the crown prince. If you are involved in this matter, those civil officials will not be allowed to report you."

In the court, the only people who are stubborn are the civil servants. They even dare to criticize the emperor, let alone the crown prince.

"I am already the crown prince, so I naturally have to shoulder this responsibility. The people are living in misery, which is not what I want to see."

He wants his country to prosper and his people to live and work in peace and contentment in the future.

Now that the people are in deep suffering and the woman is trapped in such a place, he wants to get to the bottom of this matter.

Shang Chengfeng was surprised by his words. He picked up the teacup in his hand and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to go with you."
