At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 87: Does Prince Gu want to snatch the land deed?
Who did this prince bring back to the Jiaofangsi? Look, he scared away all the guests of the Jiaofangsi.
Mother Chun thought about it and immediately said, "Stop it, ladies and gentlemen. I will bring out the people you want right away."
After saying that, he immediately ordered a guard beside him, "Go and bring out the prince and the woman they brought back."
In the incense room of the Imperial Music Bureau, Prince Gu looked at Chunyu who was kneeling on the ground. He had no interest in the girl in front of him. But how could he walk through a bush of peonies without getting a single leaf on him? Looking at Chunyu's delicate face, he knew that she was a personal maid of Princess Xingguo. He had long wanted to taste the maid of the princess's side.
"Tell me what you think the Xingguo County Lord wants that restaurant for. If you tell me, I will be happy to let you go, and I will also give you wealth and glory that even your master cannot give you." Prince Gu asked, holding Chunyu's chin.
Chunyu spat directly on Master Gu's face, and Master Gu wiped the spit off his face in anger.
"Bang!" Chunyu was slapped hard in the face.
Chunyu's fair face suddenly became swollen with slap marks.
"You shameless slut." Just as he was about to slap her again, a guard walked in.
"Someone from the prince has broken into the Jiaofangsi."
"Who are they? Two women with high martial arts skills who injured dozens of my guards and a scholar with just one move," the guard replied.
When Chunyu heard this, she knew that it was someone close to the princess who came to save her. And if she guessed correctly, it was Yu Linshan?
But when Prince Gu heard this, he glanced at his personal guards and secret guards outside the door and wondered if they could deal with those three people. If they could, that would be great. He would have to thank Princess Xingguo for sending them to him.
He immediately straightened his clothes and called out to his secret guard, "We'll see what happens later."
After saying that, he asked two guards to escort Chunyu to the hall.
Yunshan and Yanluo never let their guard down and looked around. Yu Linshan held a sword and stared vigilantly at the eleven people in front of him.
Prince Gu walked out of the inner room, with Chunyu behind him being escorted over by the guards.
When Yu Linshan saw the palm print on Chunyu's face, his heart suddenly ached and he wanted to go up and slap Master Gu.
Prince Gu looked at Yunshan and Yanluo downstairs. There are so many beauties around this princess! The two figures downstairs are even better than Chunyu behind him.
"The maids around this princess are all prettier than the other. Does she want you two to exchange them for mine?" Prince Gu looked at Yunshan and Yanluo with an obscene look.
Madam Mu gathered her neighbors outside the Music Bureau and started to scold Master Gu outside the Music Bureau.
"The Princess and the Marquis of Anyuan did not teach their prince well. They snatched a girl from the street and brought her to the Jiaofang Bureau."
As expected of the wife of the king of spies, her ability to create momentum left Yu Yunxin dumbfounded.
When Yu Tinghai heard that Chunyu and Yu Linshan were in the Jiaofangsi, he immediately rushed in with people from the Ministry of Justice. Yu Yunxin also wanted to go in, but was stopped by Madam Mu.
"There are so many people here. Princess, you are a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage, so don't go in. Don't worry, I will let everyone in the capital know what the prince did. This princess is not the biological sister of the current emperor. The queen mother doesn't like the princess either. She has never entered the palace since she married into the marquis's mansion. Although the Anyuan Marquis has a title, they also rely on the emperor's grace and the blessing of their ancestors to allow them to inherit the title for generations. Their ancestors helped the founding emperor of Dacheng with money, otherwise the Gu family would not be so glorious. It's a pity that the Anyuan Marquis's mansion is getting worse with each generation, and there is no one with an official position in the mansion."
"Then why is the Anyuan Marquis Mansion so arrogant?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"The ancestors of the Anyuan Marquis's mansion had a golden medal of immunity from death. Although they have no power, all the gambling houses and brothels in the capital are owned by the Anyuan Marquis. Originally, after the death of the Princess' mother, the Queen Mother wanted to send her to marry a foreign prince, but the Princess used tricks to marry the Anyuan Marquis. This happened thirty years ago."
After listening to this, Yu Yunxin also understood the situation of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion. These people not only ate the emperor's food, but also engaged in so many illegal industries. They relied on the golden medal of immunity from death from their family. No wonder Master Gu was so arrogant and drove her people away.
"Then the emperor doesn't care about them?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Didn't your father take action? That Anyuan Hou is a smiling tiger. Don't worry, there will be a good show later. The smiling tiger will appear soon." Pang Jinhua was standing outside the Jiaofangsi and felt tired. She went to the restaurant opposite to find a bench and moved it over, motioning Yu Yunxin to sit down and feel at ease.
Yanluo shot the silver needle in her hand and hit the two guards who were escorting Chunyu. Yu Linshan swung out a sword flower, flashed and kicked over several guards who rushed towards him, then ran to Chunyu, saved her and protected her behind him.
Just when the secret guard hiding in the dark was about to take action, Yu Tinghai rushed in with his men.
"Stop it, Master Gu, you kidnapped my housekeeper in the street. Do you want to covet my house's money?" Yu Tinghai said angrily.
When Master Gu heard this, he glanced at Chunyu and said with a smile, "Is there no one left in the Yu Mansion? You are really kidding me, Master Yu, to let a little girl be the housekeeper."
Chun Yu immediately pulled out a stack of property deeds and banknotes from his body and said, "Master Gu, look at what I have on me?"
When Mother Chun saw that the little girl had so many land deeds and banknotes on her, she wondered how the prince could be so short-sighted, so she immediately sent someone to ask Lord Hou to save the prince.
Some onlookers originally thought that Lord Yu would punish Master Gu by kidnapping a commoner woman, but no one expected that he would be arrested by seizing the family property of the Yu family.
"Someone, bring Master Gu to the Ministry of Justice jail." Yu Ting gave the order.
"Sir Yu, I didn't know which maid had so many banknotes and house deeds! My Anyuan Marquisate is a marquis of ten thousand households, so how could I watch someone kidnap that maid for the Yu family's wealth?" Prince Gu said while hiding behind the secret guards who were protecting him.
"We have both witnesses and evidence, but you guys in Anyuan Marquis Mansion are really greedy. Do you think I would come to you for a maid because I am busy with official duties? You even sent two martial arts masters from my mansion to the Jiaofangsi to ask for her?" Yu Tinghai continued.
"Yes, Prince, you should know that I am both Lord Yu's adopted son and his biological nephew! The person you took away on the street was our housekeeper. You know that in our family, no matter how old or capable a person is, we will entrust him or her with important tasks. Otherwise, why would we do something for a maid and let her inquire about a restaurant covering more than one thousand square meters alone?" Yu Linshan also asked.
Prince Gu thought about it and looked at Chunyu hiding behind Yu Linshan. He still couldn't believe how this girl had so many banknotes and deeds. If she was robbed on the street, he could at most pay some money to buy the maid. But now if the Ministry of Justice sentenced him to rob banknotes and deeds on the street, robbing deeds is a serious crime! What should he do?
Chunyu didn't expect that she would bring a lot of property deeds today, including the mansions and estates awarded by the emperor, several shops in Yuezhou, and even several night markets in Nanling County. Fortunately, she was afraid that Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan would steal them when they were not at home. So she just brought them with her.
"Master Gu, you'd better withdraw your secret guards! Are you resisting arrest?" Yu Tinghai said as he looked at the secret guards standing in front of Master Gu.
The Ministry of Justice knew the reputation of the iron-faced judge in front of him. Although he had not been in the capital for more than a year, he had dealt with second-generation rich people like Xu Zu, and none of them had a good ending!
He immediately knelt down in front of Chunyu and said, "Miss Chunyu, I really didn't know you had the land deed and banknotes on you. Please prove to me that I didn't steal your land deed!"
"The master once asked us why the Yu family wanted to buy the restaurant. When I didn't tell him, he slapped me in the face! He also asked about the situation at the border of Nanling County..." Chunyu said as he took out the silver bills and the house deeds.
"This is the mansion that my princess just awarded me, as well as a thousand-acre manor and the deed to the tea garden in Nanling County..."
"That's enough, Lord Yu. My son is naughty and disrespectful to the law. Can you please forgive him?" An Yuanhou walked over and said.
"I don't have the ability to punish you with a death penalty, but you can't escape a living punishment, Your Highness." Yu Tinghai replied.
"Dad, I don't want to go to the Ministry of Justice! Save me! I really don't want to go to the Ministry of Justice." Prince Gu looked at An Yuanhou and asked for help.
"That's enough, you dandy boy, why don't you use your brain?" Marquis An Yuan shouted and ordered the secret guards to cover his own son's mouth.
"Sir Yu, I will let my secret guards escort my son to the Ministry of Justice personally." Marquis An Yuan said as he asked the secret guards around Master Gu to escort Master Gu directly to the carriage. He did not want to lose face.
He also asked several officials from the Ministry of Justice to board the carriage. Yu Tinghai said to his subordinates, "Go and call the Jingzhao Yin as well, and tell them that the prince of Anyuan Hou has been taken to the Ministry of Justice!"
"Yes, sir!" The official from the Ministry of Justice immediately walked out of the Music Bureau.
Seeing Chunyu and the others coming out, Yu Yunxin, whose left face was swollen from being beaten, stepped forward and took out the ointment to apply it to Chunyu herself and asked, "Chunyu, are you okay?"
"Princess, I'm fine. We can make a lot of money again." Chunyu said as he took out the silver bills and land deeds without any hesitation.
Yu Yunxin looked at it and smiled and said, "It seems that Marquis An Yuan is going to lose everything."
"Let's go to the Ministry of Justice!" Yu Yunxin said and followed Yu Tinghai to the Ministry of Justice.
Yu Tinghai glanced at Yu Yunxin. His daughter just liked to watch the fun. If he wanted to touch the fat sheep Anyuanhou, he couldn't go beyond the emperor, so he immediately sent a message to the palace.
Emperor Cheng was reviewing memorials in the palace when a carrier pigeon flew over. Hu Man took the note from the pigeon and handed it to Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng took it and smiled, "The fat sheep can be slaughtered now. Hu Man will prepare mutton hotpot tonight."
"It's the emperor." Hu Man replied.
"Hu Man, why do you think the knitted sweater that Princess Xingguo gave me looks so much like the scarf that Concubine Li gave me back then?" asked Emperor Cheng.
"Maybe Concubine Li and Princess Xingguo have the same idea?" Hu Man said.
"How great it would be if my Lin'er was not stupid!" Emperor Cheng said.
"Your Majesty, although Princess Xingguo is smart and clever, she is not a woman. No matter who she marries, she cannot escape the imperial decree," Hu Man replied.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Cheng smiled and pointed at Hu Man and said, "You are such a bad guy."
"I am not a bad person. I feel that Princess Xingguo is very suitable to be the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Concubine Li." Hu Man said with a smile.
"Has Prince Yi woken up?" Emperor Cheng asked.
"Your Majesty, the reason Prince Yi was able to wake up this time was thanks to Concubine Li's medicine. Concubine Li is now prescribing medicine for Prince Yi that will restore his appearance. It will take three months for him to recover." Hu Man continued.
"Okay! Today I will go to the Cuiyu Palace to have dinner with Concubine Li." Emperor Cheng said.
"Good servant, I will prepare it right away." Hu Man said and immediately walked out of the imperial study.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Yu Tinghai sat in the back hall while Jingzhao Yin sat below him.
"The Jingzhao Yin should show the cases of Master Gu in recent years to Lord Anyuan!" Yu Tinghai said.
Upon hearing this, Jingzhao Yin immediately took out a stack of petitions and handed them to Anyuan Hou.
Marquis Anyuan took it, looked at it, and smiled, saying, "It's an old case, can't it be solved by spending some money? Jingzhao Yin, have you forgotten that I asked you to solve all these cases?"
"My Lord Anyuan does have this matter, but there are still many unresolved cases here." Jingzhao Yin replied.
"Marquis Anyuan, come to my Ministry of Justice and settle all old and new accounts!"
Yu Tinghai took out the complaint and read it: "On the day of Dingsi in the month of Yichou in the year of Hai, the Liu family of Nancheng filed a complaint that Prince Gu deceived his nephew Liu and secretly sold the house deed. However, the house deed belonged to the old man of the Liu family, who was reborn, causing the eight members of the Liu family to live on the streets..."
An Yuanhou laughed when he heard this: "Haha! Lord Yu, you have been in Wangshan County of Nanling County for a long time, right? You want to make a decision for the Liu family? If the Liu family kid comes to my casino to gamble and loses money, naturally he should ask his relatives to pay back the money. If he doesn't have money, why not mortgage the house?"
"My Anyuanhou Mansion is not a charity. Sir Yu, do you have no cases in the Ministry of Justice?" Anyuanhou asked Yu Tinghai with a smile.
"This is naturally a small matter, but you shouldn't have deceived the family of Lord He who has retired and returned to his hometown. Prince Gu designed a plan for Lord He's son He Cai to enter a brothel and use a large sum of money to redeem a prostitute. He also stole the land deed of the He mansion to redeem the prostitute. Lord He is an honest man. How could your Anyuanhou Mansion treat Lord He like this?" Yu Tinghai asked.
"That old man deserves it! He has been the Chief Censor for so many years and all he does is find fault with others. He can't even teach his own descendants. I am just giving him a warning so that he can go back to his hometown and teach his descendants well." Marquis Anyuan replied.
"That Prince Gu kidnapped my housekeeper in the street. Prince Gu also had his eyes on the mansion and estate that the emperor rewarded yesterday. There is no need for secret tactics. I didn't expect that you, the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, would come to rob openly?" Yu Tinghai asked.
"This is a misunderstanding!" An Yuanhou glanced at Jing Zhaoyin who was still sitting on the side and said, "I want to talk to Lord Yu alone. Lord Kou, please step aside."
Upon hearing this, Lord Kou, the Jingzhao Yin, stood up and left the back hall.
After seeing that there was no one in the hall, An Yuanhou came to Yu Tinghai and took out a jade token.
Yu Tinghai smiled and said, "My Lord, I didn't know you were this person for so many years. But the Emperor also gave me a secret order. You are such a fat sheep that I have to teach you a lesson to calm the resentment of the people in the capital for so many years."
"Alright! I admire Lord Yu for being able to get his job back in just one year. I don't ask for my son to be rich and powerful, I just want him to be an ordinary person like me. Lord Yu, just sentence him!" Marquis Anyuan looked at Yu Tinghai calmly.
"The prince of Anyuan is arrogant and conceited. He deceived the ignorant people, seized other people's property, and abducted good women to sell them to brothels. He is guilty of a heinous crime. He shall be fined 1.5 million taels of silver and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for ten years..." Yu Tinghai said as he wrote: "Are you satisfied, Lord?"
When Anyuan Hou heard this, he said, "I will take my son away and keep him from leaving Anyuan Hou Mansion for ten years. What do you think, Lord Yu?"
"But Master Gu beat up my daughter's housekeeper. It would be a bad idea for me to make the decision. You also know that General Lin's mansion dotes on my daughter. Otherwise, how about I let Princess Xingguo come over?" Yu Tinghai said.
