Chapter 333 Searching the Prince's Mansion
The prince sighed slightly. In fact, he was really depressed. The feeling of oppression made him urgently want to find someone to talk to. Besides, this matter would probably not be a secret in a few days.
"This is a long story. In fact, it all started with the fake county magistrate and his son that you experienced..."
Chu Ci was surprised, his mouth slightly opened, his eyes wide open: "Fake county magistrate and his son? Did it happen so long ago?"
Chu Ci didn't want to hear such a long-ago story, so he frowned and interrupted impatiently, "Don't go on like that, just tell me the result? I don't have the patience to listen to those trivial things."
The prince looked helpless and secretly complained in his heart that he had never met someone who was so curious and yet extremely impatient.
But who made him ask for help?
So he patiently said, "The result is that after a careful and meticulous investigation, the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement discovered that many descendants of civil and military officials had been replaced, including the Second Prince."
"Ah? Is that the end?" Chu Ci's eyes widened, full of disbelief, and his voice became a little louder. "I want to be brief, but not this simple and crude!"
"Can you please tell me the key details, such as how you discovered it and what evidence you have? Hello!"
Little did they know that the prince did this on purpose.
"In fact, the Xiuyi Law Enforcement Officer had discovered this kind of thing a few years ago, but at that time he just ignored it as an ordinary family matter."
"You also know that some time ago, the people in the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement suddenly realized that something was wrong, so they collected all the previous situations and conducted an in-depth and detailed investigation..."
Having said that, the prince paused slightly, his expression became a little solemn, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Although some of them have been confirmed to be fake, the forces behind them cannot be found no clues no matter how hard the Xiuyi Enforcement has tried to dig deeper."
"So, Father wants you to help? Perhaps with your extraordinary luck... well, intelligence and talent, you can gain something else?"
Chu Ci frowned slightly, thinking to herself, the prince has been talking in so many roundabout ways, is he waiting for her here?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Ci's eyes flickered, and he pretended to hesitate and said, "Is there any benefit? If I take the trouble to help, it can't be in vain, right?"
The prince seemed to have been prepared. He raised his lips and said confidently, "I can't guarantee the rest, but as long as it is the property you found, I will give you 30%. You can use this 30% of the wealth at your disposal, and I will never interfere. How do you think?"
What Chuci lacks the least is gold and silver, but one has to show one's attitude.
Seeing that the prince was so happy, Chu Ci naturally did not hesitate and said happily: "Deal. Then let's see how I show my skills!"
So the prince saw what it was like, and he didn't even let go of the rat hole.
As soon as he entered the Second Prince's mansion, Chu Ci gave a serious order: "Everyone listen! All the things in the mansion must be sorted and checked by category. Even a small piece of paper or a subtle pattern must have its source marked, and there must be no omissions! If anyone dares to be perfunctory, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes." If someone from somewhere else faced such a huge workload, they would definitely be unhappy and even complain.
But these people had all witnessed Chu Ci's special methods in Lianzhou and knew how powerful and strict she was.
Therefore, not only was there no complaint at all, but everyone put in the most effort, with determination and concentration in their eyes, as if they were facing a major challenge.
After receiving the order, everyone took action immediately and controlled all the people moving in and out of the Second Prince's mansion in a lightning speed.
It's like they want their house to be raided even more than having it raided!
Even if those people who had something to hide were calm, they were still shocked by such an unexpected situation. Their faces turned pale in an instant and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
"The last one in the first row, the third one in the second row, the fourth one in the third row, the first one in the sixth row, the eighth one in the seventh row, the second one in the eighth row, and the fifth one in the ninth row. Check carefully!"
Chu Ci's eyes were as sharp as torches. He accurately pointed out seven people with abnormal expressions and those who intended to dodge in one breath. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
"Understood!" These law enforcement officers in embroidered uniforms acted quickly and immediately arrested the person with the strange expression mentioned by Chu Ci, without any delay.
The prince's eyes flickered when he saw this. He moved to Chu Ci's side and said in a low voice, "These are just minions. They are useless. I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain key intelligence."
Chu Ci heard this, but smiled lightly, and said nonchalantly: "Your Highness, you can't underestimate others, right?"
"Although the minions may seem insignificant, they may be useful in various aspects!"
“Sometimes, some key clues are hidden in these seemingly insignificant people. Moreover, even if they don’t know the core secrets, we can infer some clues from their words and deeds.”
As Chu Ci finished his words, a law enforcement officer in embroidered uniforms hurried over with a list.
Although the people on the list still seemed insignificant, one of them was particularly interesting, as it was marked as being arranged by the eldest princess.
But when the Xiuyi law enforcement officer carefully verified it, he was surprised to find that the man's real master was not the eldest princess at all, but the original body's wronged master who even Chu Ci did not notice.
You have to know that no matter in Chu Ci's eyes or in the eyes of others, this person has always been an image of a complete victim!
but now?
Chu Ci handed the note handed over by Xiu Yi Law Enforcement to the prince without any hesitation, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Prince, what do you think? Is this the clue you are looking for?"
The prince took the note and saw the joy on his face. He couldn't hide it no matter what he did. His hands were shaking with excitement. "As expected of Princess Yixin, who is admired by even the Purple Envoy, you are really capable and effective! If we can find out the truth this time, you will be the first to be rewarded!"
Being praised like this, Chu Ci felt so happy, as if he had eaten honey. But he still had to be modest, "I don't deserve such praise from the prince."
"If the Crown Prince hadn't trusted me and given me this opportunity, and if the Embroidered Clothes Law Enforcement Officers on the scene hadn't given me the full support, even if I had found the problem from a slightly tricky angle, it wouldn't have been of any use."
As Chu Ci spoke, he stretched out his right index finger and thumb, made a small gesture, and had a faint smile on his face.
The prince was very pleased with this and showed a satisfied expression on his face, but he still praised: "Princess Yixin is too modest! Your contribution to this progress cannot be ignored. Your acumen and decisiveness are obvious to everyone."
