C237 Searching for the Ling House
A dark group of people came to the Duke Ling's Mansion with torches in their hands.
Lord Mayor was worried. The Duke of Ling was a rank one official in the court. He was just a small official, how could he have the right to search him? Unless... unless there was an order from the Emperor. As he thought, he sent a person into the Palace to report to Mu Po. This matter was most appropriate for the Prime Minister.
Lord Mayor was still some distance away from the Duke Ling's Mansion and was not discovered. He quietly brought some people away and let his subordinates surround the Duke Ling's Mansion from afar. However, he could not let the people of the Duke Ling's Mansion discover him.
Originally, he had heard from yamen runner that Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen had clues and might be able to catch the mastermind. He left a mark for him and asked him to bring his men over.
Now, he knew why he had to bring so many people. Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to surround Duke Ling's Mansion.
Lord Mayor was a little worried. If he did not get the Emperor's permission, he would be charged with the crime of offending a rank one official.
Bai Ming carried the clothes of the two people and carried them like he was carrying chickens. They were very far from where they were just now, hidden in the darkness.
Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen's faces were extremely dark. Why did they feel that they were so useless at this time? Miao Yingyu wanted to use the Gu, but she had not taken it out yet. Bai Ming said, "Don't waste your energy. Those ugly things of yours can't hurt me."
Before Miao Yingyu could make a move, Yuan Zhen was captured by him. He was forced to throw away everything that could hurt him.
"Ai, look, the person you are looking for is not reliable." Bai Ming looked at the people running away from Duke Ling's Mansion from afar. "Why would Hongrao let you guys do this? Are you free now that you are done with the matters in Faang mansion?"
The words that came after were directed at Miao Yingyu. Not long after she came back from solving the matters in Faang mansion, she raised her head and stared at Bai Ming. "It's you? "
"No." Bai Ming did not seem to mind, "I'm not that bored."
Miao Yingyu's heart was filled with anger, and there was no place for her to vent it. Yuan Zhen whispered, and no one could hear what he said.
"Hmm? I'll say it again." Bai Ming seemed to have heard him. He tilted his head slightly and looked at him with a face full of warning.
"Let go of Yingyu!" Even Yuan Zhen himself was grabbed by Bai Ming. He had a fierce look on his face.
"Sure." Bai Ming was very easy to talk to. He threw the two of them onto the ground, causing them to grimace in pain.
"Do you not understand human language?" Yuan Zhen was afraid of him, but he had hurt the person he cared about. Even if he was not a match for him, he should fight with him.
"I don't understand mouse language." Bai Ming looked at Yuan Zhen like he was looking at a clown.
Miao Yingyu held her elbow and slowly sat up. Yuan Zhen did not care about Bai Ming and ran over to ask about her injury. After confirming that she was fine, he got up from the ground and patted the dust off his clothes.
"What are you going to do?" Yuan Zhen had an impatient look on his face. "If there's nothing else, then hurry up and leave. Otherwise, if you spoil Qing's business, she will not be happy."
Yuan Zhen bet that he cared about Mu Ruqing, no matter what feelings she had.
" Watch the show. " Bai Ming only answered and took a few steps back. "You don't need to use Hongrao as a shield. In my eyes, she is just a toy. She is just more interesting than you guys."
"Madman!" Miao Yingyu cursed in a low voice. She looked up and found that Bai Ming had disappeared into the darkness.
"Where is he?" Yuan Zhen took a few steps forward, but he still did not find him. He turned around and asked Miao Yingyu.
"How would I know? You are so close to him and you can't see him. Why are you asking me? "Miao Yingyu's anger was directed at someone. Yuan Zhen puckered his lips and did not reply.
Bai Ming did not go far. He just took advantage of the time when the two of them were not paying attention and walked out of the darkness. On the roof far away, he looked at Duke Ling's Mansion.
His hair casually scattered in the air. The hairpin that was tied up was thrown away the moment it touched Yuan Zhen. His hair slowly slid down...
Hongrao, you are really becoming naughtier and naughtier. Bai Ming narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace.
The yamen runner that Lord Mayor sent entered the palace gates and went straight to the prison, because Mu Po should still be there.
Mu Po was still interrogating that man. After listening to the yamen runner's words, he frowned.
It was impossible for the Duke of Ling not to know about what happened tonight, but he had not done anything until now. It was impossible for him not to notice that Lord Mayor had brought so many people to surround his mansion.
Did something unexpected happen? Now, everything should be done carefully. Mu Po looked at the yamen runner that had returned and asked, "Is there anyone from Duke Ling's Mansion coming out?"
"Replying to master. I didn't come to report before, but I don't know what happened after that. " The yamen runner answered very seriously.
"Is there any movement in Duke Ling's Mansion?" Mu Po stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back.
"I hope that the Lord can report to the Emperor and request the Emperor to send an Imperial Decree to search the Duke Ling's Mansion." The yamen runner brought Lord Mayor's words and there was a pleading expression on his face.
Mu Po was in a dilemma. Without evidence and no reason, how could the Duke Ling's Mansion be searched just like that?
"Sir. Time waits for no one. If we miss the best opportunity and let the murderer go, my lord won't be able to bear that kind of crime! " The yamen runner immediately kowtowed. Lord Mayor treated him like a brother. Naturally, they could not watch him suffer. "Princess Chu's good friends, Daoist Priest Yuan and Miss Miao, saw it with their own eyes. It can't be fake!"
Qing? Mu Po was deep in thought. He had already started to think about how to tell the Emperor.
"Hahaha!"
His thoughts were interrupted by that man. The prison warden whipped him a few times, but the man still laughed wildly with a hint of mockery.
"Shut up!" the prison warden scolded. He looked at Mu Po and said respectfully, "Master, this official will make him shut up now."
"This official would like to hear what he has to say." Mu Po was interested. He felt that what he could say would be useful.
"The sinners have nothing to say. It was all my doing. " The man stopped laughing and looked down at the dry grass on the wet floor with a confused expression.
"Sir. He will only behave if I beat him up!" The prison guard stood up again and cupped his hands in a salute.
Mu Po's face darkened. He did not agree with his words and ordered discontentedly, "You go down first!"
"Master!"
" Hmm?"
The warden did not dare to say anything more when he saw Mu Po's scrutinizing gaze. He gave the man a bitter look and left. In fact, he just wanted to use some means to make the man confess. Luckily, Mu Po had done a good deed in front of him. Perhaps he would be promoted in a few days. It was just that his wishful thinking had been used in the wrong place.
Seeing the warden leave, Mu Po walked to the man's cell. "Do you know who is in the post house?"
"What does it have to do with me? I just want that bitch to die, the man said." The man didn't even lift his eyes.
"The Crown Prince of Yunmeng Country, the Prince, King Chu, and the newly married Princess Yun Meng, Lateral Consort Yun." When Mu Po spoke, his tone was filled with respect.
"Hmph." The man turned his head and snorted. He seemed to not care about it, but the worried eyes behind betrayed him.
"Is there no one else in your family? Can you bear this crime?"
Mu Po's words made the man waver.
