Binding system, I can plant flowers and grass!

Cui'e was extremely anxious and frightened, and had no idea why these two men wanted to bring her to the yamen.

But soon, Ye Qing and his master Wang Liang hurried over.

The head of Qingling County does not have any authority over Tianyuan Prefecture, but she is also a county lady with a certain rank. Although the prefect is an official of the fourth rank, she still has to give him face.

When Lu Er and Lu San saw someone coming in, they stood up.

"This is the prefect. I wonder what you were sent by Princess Qingling to do?" Wang Liang asked first.

"Greetings, His Excellency the Prefect." The two men saluted.

Ye Qing raised his hand, looked at them, and then looked at the tied woman.

"Excuse me, what is this?"

Lu Er said, "This person is Cui'e. She came to our Xinghua Village some time ago and found someone in Xinghua Village. She gave her a tael of silver and asked her to help introduce her to work in our county master's home. Normally, there is no problem with this matter."

Lu Er pointed at Cui'e and continued, "However, her behavior was a little suspicious, so it caught our attention. Following the instructions of the county lady, we investigated and found out that Cui'e came to work for the county lady for a purpose."

Cui'e also heard what Lu Er said. When she heard that Lu Qianqian already knew her purpose, her face turned pale. Although she was scheming, she also knew that Lu Qianqian's current identity was not someone that a small person like her could offend.

The reason she agreed to Liu Hua's request was because of the money, and that was why she didn't take the initiative.

But now Lu Qianqian's people have directly sent her to the government, which will be a bit troublesome.

"Woo woo woo!" Cui'e wanted to speak anxiously, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't say a word.

"Let her speak." Ye Qing said.

Lu San stepped forward and took the cloth out of Cui'e's mouth.

"Sir..." As soon as the cloth was taken away, Cui'e shouted, "Sir, I am innocent. I have no purpose at all. I went to Xinghua Village because I really wanted to make some money."

Cui'e knew that she could never admit to such a thing, and she really hadn't done anything bad. She just looked at it, and Lu Qianqian had no way of using this to argue.

The prefect looked at Cui'e and asked, "You really have no other purpose?"

Cui'e quickly shook her head, "Sir, I am innocent. What purpose do I have? My family is in financial difficulty, and I just want to make some money."

Lu Er sneered, "Cui'e, you'd better think about it carefully. Although our county lady was just conferred the title by the emperor, she still has some abilities. The county lady has checked your affairs clearly, for example, you didn't live at home at all, you lived in Tianyuan Mansion, and Liu Hua..."

With every word Lu Er said, Cui'e's face turned paler.

Wang Liang had been listening on the side, and now seeing Cui'e's expression, he still didn't understand, "Sir, it seems that there is something fishy about this matter. Why don't we detain the person first, and then you can have a thorough trial later."

Wang Liang has followed Ye Qing for more than ten years, and Ye Qing understands every look and tone of his voice.

The prefect nodded and said, "Come here, take her away."

"No, no, sir, I say, I say."

No matter how successful Cui'e is in Tianyuan Prefecture and how much she has seen, she is no match for Ye Qing and Wang Liang.

"I went to Xinghua Village just to get close to Lu Qianqian and steal the dyeing formula, but this was not my own idea. Liu Hua gave me the money and asked me to do it. I really don't know anything else."

Cui'e pushed all the blame onto Liu Hua. Originally she really didn't know about this matter, but she agreed to do it for the sake of money.

"Liu Hua?" Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why did he instruct you to steal the formula?"

Cui'e cried and said, "My Lord, I really don't know. Liu Hua only told me to steal the formula and didn't tell me anything else."

Ye Qing turned to look at Lu Er and Lu San, "You two, I wonder what Qingling County Master means?"

From Cui'e's words, we can tell that she did go to the county lord's house to steal the recipe, but as for what happened afterwards, does the county lord want him to intervene or handle it in some other way?

It was Lu Er who spoke again, "My county mistress said that this matter would trouble the prefect because it is a little complicated."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qing knew something was wrong.

Ye Qing nodded, "It's not a problem, this is what I should do, come here."

As Ye Qing finished his words, two yamen runners ran in from outside.

"Put this man in jail!"

"My lord, my lord, I am really innocent, I really didn't do anything!"

Cui'e was taken outside by two yamen runners. No matter what she said, they did not stop.

"Now, can you tell me what happened?"

The only people left in the hall were Lu Er, Lu San, Ye Qing and Wang Liang.

Lu Er didn't expect Lu San to talk anymore. He was a man of few words, and he usually spoke even less to people he didn't know.

"Sir, what Cui'e said about stealing the formula is indeed true, but this matter involves people from the Jin Kingdom, so my county lady asked us to send the people to the government office. The rest of the matter can only trouble you, sir!"

"Jin Kingdom?" Wang Liang exclaimed. How could it be related to the Jin Kingdom?

The relationship between Daxia and Jin was originally very tense. On the surface, the people thought that the relationship between Jin and Daxia was quite good, but every official of Daxia knew that Jin was a wolf that was eyeing Daxia with eager eyes.

How come it's just a matter of stealing, but it involves the Kingdom of Jin?

"The Liu Hua mentioned by Cui'e is the brother-in-law of our county master's second brother's ex-wife. After his younger sister Liu Zhaodi divorced our second master, she followed a wealthy businessman. This wealthy businessman's surname is Tang. He has been doing business in Tianyuan Prefecture for many years. I think the prefect should have heard of this person."

Ye Qing felt the surname sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it right away, so he turned to look at Wang Liang.

Wang Liang said, "Sir, it's Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang has a big business. Usually, he contributes a large part of our city's taxes."

Wang Liang was quite familiar with this Mr. Tang. After all, he was the prefect's legal advisor. Whenever there was something going on, many people would come to him first.

Mr. Tang is not only generous, but also has his word when it comes to taxes and silver. But how could such a man be interested in Qingling County Lady's things?

Even if he has taken a fancy to her, that is normal, it is all business matters, but why can't you investigate it carefully, is Qingling County Lady someone he can touch?

After being reminded by Wang Liang, Ye Qing also thought of such a person.
