Chapter 27: Self-Confession
When Ye Zhi heard the word "Prince", she immediately became excited.

"Are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Ye Zhi called out to Xiao Xijin.

Xiao Xijin turned around and looked at Ye Zhi in front of him. He felt very unhappy. After all, she wanted to kill Xiao Jiangmeng.

"What do you want?" Xiao Xijin asked politely.

"You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so you must be the one who can clear my name! Ye Mu killed my parents and asked me to recognize him as my father! I am just seeking revenge, what crime have I committed?
Ye Mu killed Ye Zhi's parents and adopted her? Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi was quite interested, but did not express it.

When Xiao Xijin heard this, he naturally didn't believe it. Everyone in the court knew what kind of person Ye Mu was. He was upright, incorruptible, and incorruptible.

"Because I am the crown prince, I must enforce the law impartially. I will never let a bad guy go, nor will I wrongly accuse a good guy!"

When Xiao Xijin said this, his eyes were firm and his tone of voice was quite regal.

Ye Mu and Gu Xun were both stunned for a moment. Why was the prince a little different today?
When Xiao Jing saw this, he secretly clenched his fists. He didn't know when his second brother became like this. It seems that he has really grown up!
But Xiao Xijin quickly returned to his usual self, "Tell me, how did Minister Ye kill your parents?"

"Minister Ye ignored the hardships of the people and maliciously increased taxes. He not only robbed the people of their belongings, but also robbed their daughters. My parents were forced to commit suicide because they could not pay the taxes."

Ye Mu: When did I commit so many crimes?
This happened about fifteen or sixteen years ago, when Xiao Xijin was not yet born. However, in addition to studying, Xiao Xijin did read a lot of memorials approved by his father and historical records of events.

This matter caused quite a big stir back then. Xiao Xijin remembered that there was no record of Ye Mu secretly increasing taxes. On the contrary, Ye Mu also reported to his father and requested a tax reduction or exemption based on the disaster situation.

The robbery of civilians' belongings and women mentioned by Ye Zhi was done by officers and soldiers. Ye Mu also handed these officers and soldiers over to the Ministry of Justice for punishment.

Xiao Xijin soon realized that Ye Zhi in front of him had been deceived, but he did not say it directly, but continued to pretend to be ignorant.

"Really? If what you said is false, I can't help you."

"Of course it's true."

"Well, I believe you."

Ye Mu, Gu Xun, Liu Zhang: ???The prince believed it?
Xiao Jingyi: Stupid╰(*︶`*)╯

Seeing that Xiao Xijin believed in her so much, Ye Zhi felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and looked at Ye Mu in front of her with a smug look on her face.

"But if you are alone, you won't be able to prove Minister Ye's guilt. I'm still not sure I can help you." Xiao Xijin said, and sighed.

"My maid Qin'er and my uncle, Li Erniu! They can all testify!"

Liu Zhang: So my efforts were in vain? Yesterday and today, Ye Zhi was also tortured. Although this is the murderer of the general's daughter, she is also the daughter of Minister Ye!
But I don’t know if this punishment is too light. Ye Zhi didn’t confess a word and didn’t even say who spread the slander.

And now the prince just said a few words, and Ye Zhi called that person out!
Coincidence, this must be a coincidence!
Ye Mu, Gu Xun: ???
Xiao Jingyi:!!!
"Then do you know where your uncle Li Erniu is?" Xiao Jingyi continued to ask.

Ye Zhi thought for a moment, "I'm not sure either. I just met him a few months ago. I remember he once said that he lived in an inn for a long time. What was it called? Something like Yiju. Yes, it was Yiju Inn."

"Okay, I'll get the person here right away." Xiao Xijin responded and walked out.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ye Zhi now felt extremely relieved, as if someone had helped her clear her name.

Several people left the cell, but they had not yet recovered from the shock.

The prince just moved his lips and made Ye Zhi confess the man. It was really...

Xiao Jing said as soon as he opened his mouth: "My royal brother is really smart, worthy of being the crown prince, he has the demeanor of a successor."

Xiao Xijin smiled innocently, "Your Majesty, I am too kind. It was just a coincidence."

"Since Ye Zhi said that person had been at the Yi Ju Inn, we should go and look for him to see if he is still there." Liu Zhang heard this and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will send someone to look for him immediately."

"Wait." Xiao Jing said.

Liu Zhang had just turned around and hadn't even started walking when he heard this and asked, "What else do you want me to do, Your Highness?"

"I will go with you."

Liu Zhang was stunned. This was the first time he saw a prince say he wanted to accompany him to catch a criminal.

"This... Your Highness..."

"I am also a deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice. I am here to assist in this matter in order to help Minister Ye clear his name. Now that Li Erniu has been found, it is natural that we must catch him as soon as possible. Moreover, I can learn a lot from catching him."

Liu Zhang and Ye Mu: His Highness is truly approachable and he even does such a small matter as arresting people himself.

Gu Xun was full of vigilance. Why did the eldest prince insist on getting involved in this matter? He even wanted to participate in the pursuit. It must be no good!
"Royal brother, then I will too..." When Xiao Xijin saw Xiao Jing go, he wanted to go too.

"Royal brother, this matter of arresting the criminal is no small matter. As the crown prince, what will you do if you get hurt? If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely not agree."

"Okay, then, my brother, walk slowly and be sure to pay attention to safety~"

"Yeah." Xiao Jing responded and walked out with Liu Zhang.

Watching Xiao Jingyi and Liu Zhang walk out, Gu Xun spoke to Xiao Xijin.

"Your Highness, why don't you let me help you capture him? After all, I have some martial arts skills. If he encounters danger, I can protect him."

Xiao Xijin thought about it and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's getting late. General Gu and I will withdraw first. Prince, please go to bed early." Ye Mu said.

"it is good."

On the carriage.

Ye Mu sighed, "I don't know when the prince became so smart."

In my impression, Crown Prince Xiao Xijin seems to be a child who never grows up.

But the prince is still the prince after all. The emperor loves him very much and trains him as the future crown prince. How could he be a naive little kid?
"And the eldest prince is also very kind to us, and he does everything himself."

Gu Xun knew that Ye Mu would definitely think so. After all, from the perspective of outsiders, the eldest prince Xiao Jingyi was indeed a good prince.

Both civil and military skills are good at dealing with people.

It’s a pity that he is not born of a legitimate wife, otherwise it would be hard to say who would be the crown prince.

Gu Xun didn't know how to tell Ye Mu that the eldest prince was a bad person and intended to murder their general's mansion.

It's a pity that Jiang Meng's father-in-law can't hear what's in his heart. It seems that he has to find out the flaws of the eldest prince so that his father-in-law knows what kind of person the eldest prince is.
