Yun Zhao and Princess Chaoyang took a carriage to the prefectural government office.

Prefect Song had received the news when Princess Zhaoyang led her troops to besiege Zhu's house. The Zhu family came to report to the authorities, but he did not take anyone with him.

Are you kidding? This is Princess Zhaoyang! Princess Zhaoyang has a sword given by the late emperor, which can kill first and report later. He doesn't think he can fight against Princess Zhaoyang.

Moreover, Princess Zhaoyang had also sent someone to report the incident in advance, saying that she wanted to arrest Zhu and bring her to justice. She asked them to investigate the matter with the Ministry of Justice.

What could he say? He was a royalist, loyal only to the emperor.

These struggles have nothing to do with him.

"Sir, someone wants to see you..."

When Prefect Song heard someone asking for a meeting, he originally wanted to refuse, but his subordinates whispered a few words in his ear, and Prefect Song's face looked a little ugly.

"Invite people in."

The man who came was wearing a Taoist robe. Prefect Song recognized him at a glance. He was Zhou Yi, the disciple of the Imperial Master.

"I have met Master Song."

"No need to be polite. What's the matter with you coming here?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said when he heard what Prefect Song said.

"I am following the orders of the Imperial Master and want to protect someone."

Prefect Song was slightly surprised.

"Who to protect?"

"Mrs. Zhu."

What? The Imperial Master sent his disciples to protect Zhu?

Prefect Song was puzzled. What on earth was going on?

"Zhu was sent here by Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chao'an, and there is irrefutable evidence that Zhu was suspected of murdering Lord Xie's eldest daughter, Xie, so I cannot let Zhu go."

Lord Song rejected Zhou Yi's offer.

Zhou Yi talked with Lord Song for a while, but Lord Song still refused Zhou Yi's request to get Zhu out.

......

Hearing what Lord Song said, Zhou Yi smiled and said.

"Sir Song, we all understand this. The Imperial Master means that Zhu should be put in a separate cell for what happened in this prison. Don't let her suffer..."

When leaving on Monday, Lord Song looked extremely unhappy.

The subordinates around him saw that Lord Song looked a little unhappy, and he said something indignantly.

"Sir, this Zhu has committed murder. Why is there still someone to protect her? If you hadn't insisted, would Zhu have been bailed out now..."

Lord Song felt that he had definitely offended the Imperial Master this time, but he did not regret it.

Princess Chao'an has done such a good thing for the people of the world. Now the enemy who killed her mother, Zhu, has been sent to prison. If he really lets her out, he will be blamed by the people of the whole capital tomorrow.

And this is not in accordance with the rules. He has been an official for so many years and has never abused his power for personal gain. Now, he is unlikely to do such a thing for others.

Prefect Song called his men and planned to send someone to detain Zhu in another cell.

Now that the Imperial Master is powerful and the Emperor trusts him so much, if the Imperial Master wants to protect Zhu, he should first place Zhu in a single cell.

When Zhu was just sent to the cell, she saw that it was dark inside and there were all kinds of unpleasant smells. Some people’s hair was messy and their clothes were unrecognizable.

"Please let me out..."

Zhu begged frantically.

All the people who were imprisoned around looked at Zhu, who had shaved his head.

"Who is this woman?"

"Isn't she a nun?"

"She looks so well dressed, what has she done wrong?"

"They are all in shackles. They must have committed a serious crime."

Zhu was directly pushed into a cell where a dozen women were held.
