It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Ying Qi just glanced coldly at the official from the Ministry of Justice and didn't dare to look at Ye Nanyue at all, for fear of exposing himself.

Ying Qi's tone was filled with arrogance. He looked at the official with disdain and snorted coldly, then turned his head and glanced at him: "Why don't you do it quickly?"

"Yes, yes..." The official from the Ministry of Justice didn't dare to neglect it and quickly responded. He then ordered his subordinates: "Go and call in those who are feeling unwell and examine them one by one!"

Ying Qi snorted coldly and personally invited the two doctors in and sat there.

After the two doctors came in, they bowed respectfully to Ye Nanyue before sitting down.

Ye Nanyue sat there, glanced at Madam Yi next to her, and said, "Go get the ingredients from our store. Leave three cooks and three salespeople here to check in. The rest of you should take a break today and come back after noon to calculate your monthly wages."

After hearing what Ye Nanyue said, several cooks and salespeople were a little bit incredulous.

The officials from the Ministry of Justice looked at Ye Nanyan and their expressions changed: "Princess, this is against the rules."

"What's against the rules? Let's check it out. If there's really a problem in our store, I'll naturally take the responsibility. It has nothing to do with them."

Ye Nanyue glanced at the official from the Ministry of Justice calmly and said coldly and disdainfully, "Why? Are you detaining so many people before the charges are even determined?"

Ye Nanyan didn't look at the official from the Ministry of Justice, but looked at Lu Zhenghao: "Sir Lu, is my request reasonable?"

Lu Zhenghao coughed lightly and nodded at Ye Nanyan: "Your Majesty's request is reasonable."

"You..." The official from the Ministry of Justice looked at Lu Zhenghao and stomped his feet in anger.

Lu Zhenghao glanced at the official and said, "If something goes wrong in this kind of situation, it will be the responsibility of the shopkeeper and the queen. These people can leave now."

The official from the Ministry of Justice was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something and said, "These people can't leave! Lord Lu, if I remember correctly, your wife is also one of the owners of this pastry shop?"

"I forgot that Lord Lu cannot participate in the investigation of this matter."

The official from the Ministry of Justice thought about this and said to himself that the person who arranged this matter was too careless.

How could I make such a mistake!

Lu Zhenghao’s wife is in partnership with the Seventh Princess, so isn’t he the Seventh Prince’s man?

Now that he’s working together on the case... doesn’t he have to be protected?

But he came in a hurry, and Lu Zhenghao was new in office, so it was normal for him to come.

Lu Zhenghao frowned and looked at the official from the Ministry of Justice and said righteously, "Your Excellency is wrong. We handle cases impartially, just like you said just now, and treat everyone equally."

"You, with your position of authority, are able to handle cases in the Princess's shop. I'm not here to handle a case privately. Aren't you here with me? Why can't I participate?"

The official from the Ministry of Justice choked again and didn't know what to say for a moment.

What Lu Zhenghao said made sense no matter how you listened to it.

The official from the Ministry of Justice really didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"Sir, everyone is watching here. There are so many eyes. What are you afraid of?"

Ye Nanyue glanced at the official from the Ministry of Justice calmly and said, "If you really don't have this little confidence in yourself... then you are not qualified for this position!"

When the official from the Ministry of Justice heard this, he choked and looked at Ye Nanyue, unable to speak.

"Okay, okay, let's go." The official from the Ministry of Justice seemed to have a desperate attitude.

Perhaps he felt that he had nothing to say anyway, so he simply stopped talking.

Ye Nanyue looked at the others and randomly selected a few of the smart ones to stay, and let the others go as if it were a holiday.

All the cooks and salespeople were happy and excited, and they were more convinced of Ye Nanyue.

Giving you half a day off and asking you to come back after noon, does that mean that Your Majesty is confident that you can resolve the matters in the store within half a day?

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but seeing Ye Nanyue's calm look, they all felt relieved.

After these people left, Ye Nanyan said to the few who stayed, "When the special master asks you questions, just tell him what you mean and don't worry about anything else. When the time comes, I will double your today's reward."

After Ye Nanyue said this, the few people who stayed behind were even happier. They nodded repeatedly and thanked Ye Nanyue.

The officials from the Ministry of Justice and Lu Zhenghao looked at Ye Nanyue in surprise, and were full of admiration in their hearts.

These seven princesses are really good at winning people's hearts and controlling their subordinates!

People from the Ministry of Justice have brought in two of the people who were poisoned outside.

The two doctors each examined one, and soon they had the answer.

One of the doctors said, "This... doesn't look like poisoning, nor is it a food incompatibility. It looks more like they took rat poison beforehand."

"Yes, that's what I see."

Another doctor who had treated plague said, "Look, it looks like a small amount of rat poison was used, and it caused the disease after it arrived here."

When the official from the Ministry of Justice heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly and embarrassed.

I looked at this and then that, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ye Nanyan nodded slightly: "Rat poison, there are no rats in our store. It's a new store that has just opened, and the ingredients and other items inside are all sealed."

"Where does this rat poison come from?"

"Yes, is it possible that the medicine used to kill rats in your store was accidentally spilled in!" The official from the Ministry of Justice was obviously still making his last struggle.

Ye Nanyue sneered and said, "Purchase of rat poison and insecticide requires records. You can't just buy them casually."

"Since your Excellency has said so, let's find out where we bought the rat poison."

Two years ago, there was a woman in the capital who suffered a lot of abuse at her husband's house. Her husband was a gambler and a drunkard who lost all the family property and also loved to visit brothels.

When he got home, he asked the woman for money and emptied out his family savings.

Whenever the woman did anything against her will, the man would beat her until her face was bruised and black.

The woman's parents-in-law didn't care and thought it was her own fault for not being able to keep the man's heart and control him that this happened.

Her parents were afraid that she would make a fuss and be divorced, which would make her life miserable, so they didn't care and just kept giving her advice.

The woman was at her wit's end and filed a lawsuit with the government office for a divorce. However, the government office refused to seek justice for the woman on the grounds that her husband would not come forward and that it was a family matter.

The woman was disheartened, so she bought a packet of rat poison and a piece of meat, put the rat poison into the meat and stewed it.

The couple, along with their parents-in-law and three children, were all poisoned to death!

Since then, a clear regulation has been introduced that the purchase of a mouse must be registered and there is a limit on the amount that can be purchased at one time.

Beizhi heard about this from two maids in the kitchen two days ago, and then told it to Ye Nanyue.

When the official from the Ministry of Justice heard what Ye Nanyan said, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, we can't just rely on your one-sided statement."
