The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1840 was plagiarized

While explaining to Cheng Feng, Constable Sun continued, "Uncle, I'm a constable from the fast patrol. Wherever there are lawbreakers, that's where I go. But an operation like today, arresting eighty-two people at once, is rare! Our yamen mobilized more than forty people just to surround Tingfeng Nunnery. Whether it was the nuns inside, the rich young masters who were having fun, or even the worshippers who went to Tingfeng Nunnery early in the morning to offer incense, they were all arrested! And that's exactly why I'm here now!"

"You don't need to tell me about things that happen in your government office. I'm not involved in the arrests or the trials, so it's none of your business!"

Cheng Feng didn't want to hear it; he didn't want to get involved in any lawsuits! Even though the Han family had practically smashed his front door, Cheng Feng hadn't let them in. He wasn't afraid of being seen as heartless; he believed justice would prevail. In short, he wouldn't collude with the Han family, nor would he aid and abet wrongdoing or protect criminals. He simply wouldn't do that. He'd rather live a peaceful life than get himself into trouble!

Upon hearing this, Constable Sun raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. "The abbess of that group of witches is from the Han family. Isn't the Han family your maternal grandmother's family?!"

Constable Sun wanted to know if this man would actually show any compassion! But Cheng Feng was far more shrewd than he had imagined!

Cheng Feng, with an iron face and righteous indignation, said, "So what if it's my maternal grandmother's family? Even if my great-grandfather broke the law, wouldn't he still be punished according to the law?"

Head Constable Sun was utterly surprised. Could this man be so heartless? He'd come all this way to offer a favor; how could he refuse? He'd squeezed out a moment from his busy schedule to deliver a message to the Prince! "You really don't care? I made time for this; our office is going to interrogate everyone soon! If my uncle talks, I can be lenient with your niece during torture, and spare her some pain!"

That's the advantage of working in the yamen. When it comes to torture, they can show favoritism to whomever they want, or torture whomever they want to kill. It's all up to them. Constable Sun is here today to curry favor.

"Hey! Don't hold back! Use the law as it's due! My niece only has He Ye; I don't recognize any of the others!" Cheng Feng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, weren't those nuns from Tingfeng Nunnery also arrested by you?"

"It seems so! Not one of them escaped. Uncle must be referring to those old folks who went out begging for alms with bowls in their hands!"

Cheng Feng said, "It should be them. They are legitimate nuns, so don't torture them. As for the other witches, just deal with them according to the rules!"

Officer Sun was even more surprised: "You won't let me take care of Han Muran, who is related to you, but you want me to take care of those unrelated people!"

"I stand only with justice!"

Cheng Feng's words were so powerful and resonant that even Constable Sun was moved.

"My uncle is indeed a gentleman among men!"

"You've run out of compliments, haven't you? By the way, why didn't the yamen and the Ministry of Justice carry out such a big operation at night? Aren't they afraid someone might escape during the day? I heard they blocked four or five streets, and the people are getting restless."

Head Constable Sun said, "This arrest operation was a joint effort between the Ministry of Justice and our yamen. We obey the Ministry of Justice. Last night, we sent people to guard the homes of Wang Xianren, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Wushi, the Assistant Director of the Ministry of Justice, and Zhao Chong'an, the Director of the Ministry of Rites, all night long. We didn't see Liu Wushi at all. Finally, at 3:00 AM, we found him staying at Tingfeng Nunnery. It was pre-arranged that four groups of people would carry out the arrest simultaneously. It was because of Liu Wushi that we delayed until 5:00 AM! Otherwise, we would have closed the net at 1:00 AM!"

……

While Cheng Feng was talking to Constable Sun in the hall, the old lady was restless on the couch. "Xing'er, what's the matter that the servants kept coming to find Feng'er?"

Xing'er gently shook her head, "Madam, that servant whispered in the prince's ear. Like you, I didn't hear anything!"

Xing'er was also pondering this matter. If the servants didn't hide the fact that they were drinking tea and listening to music, they would say it directly when they entered the room. Obviously, what the servants were saying was something they couldn't let them know!

Madam Wan was deeply troubled. "Xing'er, what brings that Constable Sun to our door this time?"

Isn't this putting Xing'er in a difficult position? Xing'er doesn't have that kind of supernatural power. If she wants to know why this person came here, she has to go out and inquire. If she tries to guess, she'll never get the answer, even if she works herself to death!

Xing'er shook her head slightly as usual, "Madam, there's no need to worry. Our Prince never causes trouble, and no one dares to offend him. He won't get involved in any lawsuits. Even if Constable Sun comes, it's only for some trivial matter. The last two times Constable Sun came to our door, it was because of the Cheng family's affairs, and it had nothing to do with our Prince!"

Madam Wan raised her hand to her forehead. "I know that Constable Sun didn't come because of Feng'er. Feng'er has never caused me any worry. When we recognized each other, he was already married and had everything he needed. On the contrary, his father and I were a burden."

"What is the old lady worried about?"

"I'm just worried... sigh!"

Old Madam Wan only said half of what she wanted to say before stopping! From that sigh, Xing'er understood, "Is Old Madam worried about the Han family?"

"Xing'er, go and find out. As long as it's not the Han family, I can rest assured!"

Xing'er was the old lady's person and was under her orders, so she had no choice but to go out and inquire for Madam Wan. News was flying everywhere outside, and she didn't even need to leave the manor. She could just ask a few questions to any of the maids and find out what had happened in the city that day.

Back by Madam Wan's side, Xing'er's eyes darted around, and her words were evasive! After so many years together, mistress and servant knew each other very well.

"Madam, Xing'er couldn't find out why Constable Sun came to see the Prince. When I went to inquire, Constable Sun had already left!"

Xing'er's words were true; how could the servants know what Constable Sun and the Prince were talking about!

The old lady stared at Xing'er with her cloudy eyes. The more she looked, the more uneasy Xing'er felt. The more she looked, the more flustered Xing'er became. The old lady in front of her had served her for more than 20 years. The old lady treated her like family. She was willing to share the old lady's worries in everything and did not want to see the old lady sad.

However, at this moment, Xing'er really didn't dare to look the old lady in the eye. She couldn't lie, and if she did, she would be seen through. To cover it up, Xing'er reached out and picked up the teapot on the table. When she poured water, she found that the water in the pot had long been cold. But that was fine. Xing'er could use this as an excuse, "Old lady, I'll go and refill the pot with hot water."

Madam Wan stopped her. "I'm not thirsty. Is there any other news?"
