I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Hearing Princess Heshuo's words, Emperor Zhaowu couldn't help but look at her a few more times, his eyes darkened: "You have never cared about state affairs, where did you hear such words?"

Knowing that Emperor Zhaowu could not hide the fact that Cui Shuyan was looking for her, Princess Heshuo directly told the truth: "No one has told me anything. But Luo Jinyu's legs were injured because of someone's harm. This time, there is no guarantee that someone will not repeat the same trick."

"The last time Luo Jinyu was kidnapped, it was An Yuanhou. An Yuanhou has been executed. Who else would want to harm him?"

"Brother, do you really think that Marquis Anyuan is the real mastermind behind this?"

"Royal sister, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and the same applies to you!"

Princess Heshuo immediately knelt down and said: "I have no intention of interfering in politics, but this matter concerns my beloved, so I have to think about it."

"We will investigate this matter thoroughly. You can go down first. If there is nothing else, don't go out for the next few days."

"Brother, are you going to put me under house arrest?"

"It can't be said to be house arrest. It's just that at this critical moment, if I let you go, you will have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture, which will affect the officials' judgment of the case."

"Brother, I don't..."

Princess Heshuo wanted to say something, but Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand and let her go.

Seeing that Emperor Zhaowu looked unhappy, Princess Heshuo dared not say anything more.

However, three days passed and no news came from Jingzhao Prefecture.

The most anxious person was Cui Shuyan.

"At this time, no news is good news. Don't be too anxious." Xie Xingyuan comforted.

"Hasn't there been any news from the people who went to the Desolate State?"

"I was just about to tell you this. He will be back tomorrow at noon at the earliest. As for what he found out, it's not appropriate to tell him via pigeon. When he comes back, we will know everything."

Cui Shuyan nodded, feeling a little relieved.

In fact, this person came back the next morning and brought back a bombshell piece of news.

Sure enough, it was almost the same as Cui Shuyan had guessed. The reason why Cui Shangjin was able to govern Huangzhou so well in just a few months was indeed because he found that rare herb.

But he made some changes.

Originally, the person who governed Huangzhou was responsible for contacting drug dealers. As for selling medicinal materials, the people sold them themselves. He did not interfere and did not profit from it.

But when it came to Cui Shangjin, he simply asked people to collect the herbs collected by the people in one place, and paid the people only two or three tenths of the selling price, while he made huge profits from it.

Originally, the local people in Huangzhou had little income, so they were ecstatic to have only 20% or 30% of the income.

Also, because this idea was proposed by Cui Shangjin, it was tantamount to giving them money, so they listened to Cui Shangjin very much.

Most of the people were obedient and did not want to lose their jobs, so Cui Shangjin was naturally adept at governing Huangzhou.

In addition, when Cui Sangjin occasionally encountered people with family difficulties, he would donate generously, creating an excellent image, which also won him a lot of hearts among the people.

It was also because of this that Cui Shangjin was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he kept his servant behind after he left.

After all, he would not feel at ease if he handed such a big thing over to someone else.

However, things went against their wishes. After Cui Shangjin left, his servant had never experienced such a big scene. When he was frightened, he told the whole truth.

Now, Huangzhou is in chaos.

I believe that this news will reach Your Majesty's ears before tomorrow.

In this way, Emperor Zhaowu's respect for Cui Shangjin would turn into contempt, which would be beneficial to the case.

After the external influences are eliminated, the next thing to look at is the case itself.

At this time, Shi Liu hurried in, her face full of joy: "Miss, good news! Your brother has been released from Jingzhao prison and returned to Luo's house!"

"really?"

"Of course it's true!"

For a moment, Cui Shuyan was ecstatic.

Originally, His Majesty personally inquired into this case and issued an order that no one was allowed to spy on the case privately.

In addition, the people handling the case kept their mouths shut, so it was impossible to find out any information at all.

How could Cui Shuyan not be happy when she suddenly heard that her brother had been acquitted?

She immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and went to Luo's house.

As soon as she entered Luo's house, she saw that all the servants in the mansion had happy expressions on their faces. Cui Shuyan quickened her pace and walked towards her brother's yard.

When she went in, her brother was sitting under the porch, leaning back in his wheelchair, wondering what he was thinking about.

When he heard her footsteps, her brother opened his eyes instantly. Seeing that it was her, his face was full of smiles: "Yanyan, I scared you this time."

Cui Shuyan felt a little sad when she saw that he had lost some weight, but she didn't want to show her sadness in front of him, so she just said softly, "Fortunately, it was a close call. Brother, how did the people in Jingzhao Prefecture find out the truth of the case?"

"They confirmed that Cui Shangjin died from a wound on his wrist. The wound was caused by a very thin blade, and the person who did it had some internal strength. They also found out that the murder took place on that small road instead of Luo's house. Since I am disabled, they naturally won't suspect me."

"Have you found the real murderer who killed Choi Sang-jin?"

"Not yet. Jingzhao Prefecture is still investigating with the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple." Luo Jinyu changed the subject and said, "There is something I want to ask you."

Before speaking, Luo Jinyu sent all the servants in the yard out.

Cui Shuyan vaguely guessed that what he wanted to ask was related to Princess Heshuo.

As expected, Luo Jinyu was extremely puzzled: "Why did someone in Jingzhao Prefecture say that I was the future consort of Princess Heshuo? I was worried that it was a rumor. I didn't dare to ask more in Jingzhao Prefecture, fearing that it would damage Princess Heshuo's reputation. I could only come back to ask you."

Cui Shuyan explained the whole story.

After listening, Luo Jinyu was thoughtful: "So, Her Royal Highness the Princess said this because she was afraid that the people of Jingzhao Prefecture would harm me?"

"Yes. I originally thought that she might like my brother, so I asked her privately. She said very clearly that she didn't like my brother, but she said that in a hurry at the time."

"I see. Her Royal Highness the Princess is truly a chivalrous person. When you see her again in the future, remember to thank her for me. It was thanks to her that I was tried in Jingzhao Prefecture. Otherwise, my days in the trial would not have been so easy."

"Don't worry, brother. I will."

The brother and sister talked for a long time, and then Luo Jinyu sent Cui Shuyan back.

However, what Cui Shuyan didn't know was that as soon as she left, Xie Xingyuan appeared from the dark, walked slowly to Luo Jinyu, and looked at him with scrutiny: "Why did you kill Cui Shangjin?"
