A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Ye Shengtang couldn't help but burst into laughter again. "Hahaha, good! Yuanfu, open the storeroom and pick out some good things suitable for Miss Lin. We'll deliver them to her residence in a bit."

"Yes!" Yuanfu quickly bowed and went to the storeroom to select items.

Cheng Ying raised an eyebrow, never expecting to be rewarded by the Emperor. It felt really good!

"Miss Lin, I heard that your father is also participating in the provincial examination this year?"

Cheng Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I came here with you because of the arson incident at the inn."

Ye Shengtang nodded. Upon hearing about the arson at the inn, he couldn't help but get angry, feeling that Ye Huaiwu, as a member of the royal family, had disgraced him.

"Don't worry, Miss Lin. Even though Ye Huaiwu is Prince Gong's youngest son, the law applies to princes as well as commoners. Once the facts are cleared, I will not let him off lightly if he is in the wrong."

Cheng Ying nodded and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, we common people have no chance of offending the third son of Prince Gong. The most likely reason he did this is to assassinate General Liu's two sons."

"Because only General Liu's two sons were involved with them."

"Previously, Senior Brother Liu and his sister were kidnapped by bandits and taken to a bandit den on the border of Qingzhou."

"The reason for this is that they learned that the Emperor was going to send General Liu to suppress those mountain bandits, so they wanted to use Senior Brother Liu and his sister as hostages to blackmail General Liu."

"Those bandits have been colluding with officials, but we've only managed to find out a little bit about which official it is."

“We interrogated some of the people who ambushed and killed us on the way. They said they were ordered by Magistrate Hu to kill us to cover it up, but they mainly killed Brother Liu and his two siblings.”

Ye Shengtang had heard Duke Anguo and the others mention this matter, but he did not know the specific details.

So he asked, "Which Magistrate Hu is it?"

"It's Magistrate Hu Junying of Crimson Flame City. Oh, right, speaking of which, I haven't released those people yet!"

Ye Shengtang asked in confusion, "Release them? Where have you locked them up?"

Cheng Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, please find me a place now so I can release them. They need to be taken to the Imperial Prison as soon as possible for interrogation by Your Majesty's men. They will know what happened in no time!"

Ye Shengtang understood what was going on, so he didn't delay any longer and called Eunuch Yuan over.

"Yuanfu, immediately send some men over. After Miss Lin releases those bandits, you should quickly take them to the prison and interrogate them to find out why they ambushed and killed Miss Lin and her companions on the way."

After giving instructions to Eunuch Yuanfu, he said to Cheng Ying, "When the people arrive, just let them in the courtyard. There are many of us here, so we don't have to worry about them running away."

Cheng Ying nodded. "Okay! But please prepare a room for me! I'm afraid I might scare others, which would be bad for the Emperor!"

Ye Shengtang could only nod helplessly. He had originally wanted to see how they managed to get the person out.

This opportunity is now out of the question.

If Cheng Ying knew that the Emperor thought this way, she would definitely complain about him, saying, "Jin Xuan, take Miss Lin to the side hall next door and get her out!"

Ye Jinxuan bowed and said, "Yes, Father."

Ye Jinxuan and Cheng Ying walked to the entrance of the side hall next door and waited for a while before seeing a group of guards running over.

Then Cheng Ying said, "Senior brother, wait for me at the door for a while, I'll go to my space and release them!"

Ye Jinxuan nodded. "Okay!"

After Cheng Ying entered the side hall and closed the door, she went into the space. In the space, she saw more than a dozen people busy working on the farmland.

It was the dozen or so people who had been brought in to ambush them earlier. Cheng Ying first summoned Yun Chuan to dispel the illusions surrounding these people, and then gave them a hint.

The advantage of this hint is that they will honestly confess as soon as they are questioned, and they will clearly explain what they have done.

After finishing, Yun Chuan said regretfully, "Sigh! Without these people, I won't have anything to play with anymore."

Cheng Ying laughed and tapped Yun Chuan's forehead with her finger, "You! You're not treating them like toys, are you!"

Yun Chuan snorted, "Hmph! Who told you, Master, to never come in and play with me!"

"In this space, besides cultivating, I can only find some fun on my own."

Cheng Ying felt a little guilty after Yun Chuan said that. "I'm sorry, Yun Chuan has been too busy lately. I promise you that once I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll take you to the basement to try out the challenges, okay?"

Yun Chuan nodded obediently, "Yes, Master, you must keep your word!"

"Okay! I'll get them out of here first."

After calming Yunchuan down, Cheng Ying took everyone out!

The dozen or so people she brought out are still under hypnosis and will be able to return to normal in ten minutes. Cheng Ying opened the door to the side hall, nodded to Ye Jinxuan, and then stepped aside.

Ye Jinxuan said to the group of guards, "The people are inside. Take them to the Heavenly Prison!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"
