Chapter 2941 Mutation, Another Death [2]

"Thank you, Mrs. Chu." Wei Chang said gratefully, but he felt a little proud in his heart... Now that they have moved to the David Dynasty, these female members of the royal family of the Chu Dynasty are still living the lives of noble ladies in the villa. It is simply unbelievable. They should be punished Throw them into prostitution!

"Master Zuo, Master Qiu, we are officials of the Ministry of Punishment. According to the law, we should be present to record the people, places, and things being searched. Let's go with the chief internal prison." Gu Jinan was worried that Wei Chang would insert a false statement during the search. The imperial edict went to the residence of the female relatives of the Chu family, and the Chu family was wiped out, so they proposed to go and search together.

Qiu Yongcheng said nothing.

Zuo Shili nodded and said, "Okay."

His uncle said that there was no future in the Ministry of Punishment, and he would be transferred to the Ministry of Husbandry or the Ministry of Personnel in two years, so he did not have to work hard in the Ministry of Punishment and could only act with capable and righteous colleagues in the Ministry of Punishment. When such a person works, he will not make any mistakes, and he will not be harmed... Gu Jinan is quite capable and has a good heart, so Zuo Shili always listens to him in official matters.

Wei Chang was angry when he heard this. What's going on with Mr. Zuo's nephew? Why do you listen to Gu Jinan like this?

…

The entrance to the courtyard where the Chu family's female relatives lived had long been guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, especially the Ran family's courtyard, which was heavily guarded.

Ran was the biological mother of the former eighth prince. Wei Qi was worried that Emperor Jingyuan had left any edicts from his old ministers to assist the eighth prince, so after searching Mrs. Chu's house, he came to search Ran's residence second.

Ran stood in the corridor. When she saw them, she said nothing. She bowed to them and let them enter the house to search.

Wei Chang led people in to search for a long time, but still nothing was found. He was very unwilling. When he came out of the house and saw Mrs. Ran, he pointed at the white hair tie on her head and said, "Mrs. Chu, can you take off the hair tie?" Are you going to check this old slave?"

"Prisoner, wait a moment." Ran didn't waste any time and immediately took off the hair tie and handed it to Wei Chang.

"Thank you, Mrs. Chu." Wei Chang asked someone to take apart the hairband, but there was nothing hidden inside, and there was no writing on it.

However, Wei Chang was still unwilling to give in. He pointed at Ran's belt and said, "Mrs. Chu, can you take off your belt and give it to the old slave?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Gu Jinan, but also Zuo Shili was shocked: "Great eunuch, is this inappropriate?"

Even if there was a search, there was no reason to take the woman's clothes and belts. If he hadn't known that Wei Chang was an eunuch, Zuo Shili would have thought that he had some evil intentions towards the Ran family?

Gu Jinan said to Zuo Shili: "Master Zuo, write down what the chief eunuch said just now, sort it out, and present it to your majesty for review."

Wei Chang was not afraid and explained: "Mr. Gu, this old slave's move is indeed a bit rude, but since we have searched, we must search thoroughly, so as to restore the innocence of the female family members of the Chu family."

"But asking for the women's clothes and belts is clearly insulting the women. How can you restore the innocence of the women?!" Gu Jinan suppressed his anger and said: "The Ministry of Punishment will not investigate the case like this. If the chief internal prison wants to investigate like this, then go in The palace has requested a decree, and after receiving His Majesty's decree, the chief eunuch can investigate as he pleases."

Wei Chang looked at Gu Jinan, but he didn't insist, but said: "Since Mr. Gu said so, I naturally don't dare to be presumptuous anymore."

Then he looked at Ran: "Mrs. Chu, please forgive me. I am arrogant. Thank you for your cooperation. I will leave first."

After saying that, he actually led the imperial guards and left to search the residence of the next female member of the Chu family.

What he did was so puzzling to watch.

Zuo Shili quietly grabbed Qiu Yongcheng and asked, "Brother Qiu, why is the chief eunuch like this?"

How inexplicable!

Qiu Yongcheng shook his head: "I don't know either... don't say anything anymore, follow me quickly and continue taking notes."

In fact, what he was thinking about was: It is impossible for people like Wei Chang to do useless things... If the search for the residence of the Chu family's female relatives was to find the imperial edict of Emperor Jingyuan, then if Gu Jinan was angered, he would definitely want to tell His Majesty and the Wei Dynasty. People... Gu Jinan still misses Chu Chao in his heart!

And there are still many young old officials of the Chu Dynasty like Gu Jinan. If Gu Jinan is disloyal to the Wei Dynasty, then a large number of young old officials of the Chu Dynasty may have different intentions!

Gu Jinan is still the brother-in-law of Duke Qin. Gu Jinan is not loyal to the Wei Dynasty, so is Qin Guogong loyal to the Wei Dynasty?

And as long as His Majesty and the Wei courtiers and generals are suspicious, when the Wei Dynasty is stabilized, they will definitely raise a butcher's knife against them... After all, there is no need for disloyalty!

…

Mrs. Ran quickly informed Mrs. Chu of what happened here.

Old Madam Chu was wise. After hearing that Gu Jinan had blocked Wei Chang, she immediately said: "Everyone, please take off your clothes and send them to the palace!"

"This?" Ms. Ran was shocked and said with a red face: "Old madam, if the clothes we are wearing are sent to the palace for inspection, it will be a loss to the Chu family's face. Outsiders will laugh at the Chu family even more, and if the Chu family After retreating to this step, will they do something more extreme next?"

If you want women’s clothing today, you can have women’s clothes tomorrow…

Mrs. Chu said: "Every old woman knows what you said... But only by doing this can the world know that Wei Chang and the others are here to find the imperial edict. Only by doing this can the world know that the female family members of the Chu family There is no edict in hand."

It can also tell the world that the female members of the Chu family have been treated poorly by the Wei Dynasty and have been wronged... And only when the world knows this, will the Wei family be truly afraid, and the female members of the Chu family can live a good life.

"It seems like we are being humiliated, but in the final analysis, it is us who are in charge... Just do it and it will be settled once and for all. It is better than being stared at all the time looking for a posthumous edict."

"Yes." Ran could only do as he was told.

The female members of the Chu family moved very quickly. In less than two quarters of an hour, they put the clothes they had changed into a box and handed them to... Zuo Shili.

Zuo Shili's face turned red with embarrassment, and he said angrily: "Why is Mrs. Chu doing this?"

What day is today? Why do so many people do weird things?

besides……

Even if you are crazy, why do you want to drag me into the water? I'm just a junior in the Ministry of Punishment. Can you let me go? !

Mrs. Chu said: "The Meng family's case is too bad. In order to prove their innocence, the Chu family naturally had to let people from the Ministry of Punishment search thoroughly. But after all, these are the women's clothes. In order to take into account the face of the Chu family, as well as the Wei Dynasty and His Majesty, Because of her reputation, the old woman can only send the clothes into the palace and let the queen send her maids to check them.”

That makes sense.

But……

"Master Gu is in the villa, why doesn't Mrs. Chu give it to him?"

You must be familiar with him.

Mrs. Chu said directly: "Because he is an old minister of the Chu Dynasty, and Mr. Zuo is a confidant of the Wei Dynasty. It is most suitable to hand it over to you. Moreover, Mr. Zuo's face is extremely upright. I can trust you, old woman. Please help the old woman." Let’s take a trip.”

Is he upright?

Zuo Shili was a little happy to be praised. After thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay."

He also promised: "Don't worry, Mrs. Chu, I will definitely hand over the clothes to the aunts in the palace, and I will never let the men of the Royal Forest Army touch them!"

Mrs. Chu was very moved and said with red eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Zuo...you are indeed an upright child."

I hope that the new dynasty can have more such kind-hearted young ministers, so that the new dynasty can be more clear-minded.

"Mrs. Chu, stay here, no need to send her off!" After Zuo Shili said goodbye to Mrs. Chu, he led the prison guards and pulled a cart of clothes out of the villa.

When Wei Chang found out, he was furious and hurriedly led people to chase him, but it was a pity that it was too late.
