Cao Heng came to Chang'an government, which was beyond Cao Yi's expectations.

When Cao Yi heard that he was coming, he hurriedly came out of the official gate.

With an official and a minor official, Cao Yi bowed and gave a big gift when he saw Cao Heng's team coming.

When he pulled to the front door of the government, Cao Heng did not dismount immediately.

Looking down at Cao Yi, Cao Heng asked, "All the servants who committed the crime, have you concluded all the servants?"

"Report to the emperor brother." Cao Yi replied: "The two servants who were concluded today have found out the whole story."

He then told Cao Heng about the two servants' situation.

After hearing this, Cao Heng had no expression on his face.

He already understood what Cao Yi meant.

Cao Yi wanted to find out the reasons for these servants' crimes, for different reasons and different trial results.

If the case was handed over to Cao Heng, he would definitely do so.

However, the result of doing so may annoy Huang Wudie.

Cao Heng was not worried about Huang Wudie's character, but as the king of Huainan, Cao Yi certainly could not have known Huang Wudie too clearly.

Every action must take into account Huang Wudie's feelings, and also consider whether his actions will cause criticism in the market. It is indeed not easy for Cao Yi to deal with this case.

Cao Heng dismounted, Cao Yi took two steps forward and reached out to support him.

Leaving the horse to the guard behind him, Cao Heng walked into the government office.

He looked back at the maid who was following behind him and said to Cao Yi: "The Crown Princess sent someone to follow him here. Do you feel that you are being subject to a lot of constraints?"

"Reply to the emperor's words." Cao Yi replied: "I didn't feel any restraint, but I was just a little more stressed. When handling the case, I was afraid that I would not be able to handle the matter safely, which would make the Crown Princess unhappy, or would make the people criticize the government."

"I know your difficulties." Cao Heng nodded and said to Cao Yi: "I am here to understand how you plan to deal with all the servants who committed crimes?"

"I just told the emperor brother." Cao Yi replied: "The servants, each of them has different purposes. Different purposes determine how they deal with the money. As long as their money is not squandered at will, they can always be recovered. For example, a servant who was dealt with yesterday used the money to build a house in Chang'an City. After reselling the house, not only did all the money be collected, but also surplus. So when I was judged, I lowered the sentencing. But another servant gave all the money to her husband. The husband liked to bet and had lost all his money. Like her, I

Of course, the highest sentencing will be dealt with. First, no matter what the reason or where the money is used, stealing will be theft. In any case, the servants involved in this matter must be dealt with. However, there is another second thing to note, that is, the servants stealing is not the same. Some of them are indeed greedy by nature, but others have unscrupulous difficulties. Those with difficulties are not allowed, but the reason is to sympathize with them. If the punishment is severe, they will inevitably be criticized by the world. Therefore, this matter may not be dealt with according to the plan of the Crown Princess."

"In fact, through this incident, the Prince's Mansion not only did not lose, but also gained a lot of benefits." Cao Heng nodded and said, "Not to mention the stolen goods returned to the Prince's Mansion, just the money recovered is almost enough to repay all the stolen goods. The Princess did this simply to ask the servants in the mansion. From then on, the servants and maids dare not have such thoughts."

"I understand the meaning of the Crown Princess." Cao Yi replied: "But I feel that those people were driven out of the Crown Prince's Mansion have been punished. They used to work in the Crown Prince's Mansion, but now they have been driven out. The glory of the past must not exist. From then on, few people should dare to use them. Not long after, they can only leave Chang'an and hide their past when they have done things in the Crown Prince's Mansion, so that they can live a little calmer life."

Accompanied by Cao Yi, Cao Heng came to the front hall of the government office.

Instead of walking over, he stopped in the front hall and asked Cao Yi: "You have been imprisoned in prison for servants who have not been interrogated yet?"

"That's right." Cao Yi replied: "The servants were all calling for justice before. I asked someone to take them into custody for the time being. In addition, I sent someone to find out if what they said was true. The two servants who were concluded yesterday all lied, and I am not very optimistic about those who have not been interrogated. The possibility of their lying is far greater than telling the truth."

"In a critical moment, there is nothing wrong with telling lies to protect yourself." Cao Heng said: "Didn't the two people you concluded yesterday have different judgments?"

Cao Yi responded, and then asked Cao Heng: "Do you want to ask those women who are still in detention?"

"Since you're here, you can go and ask." Cao Heng ordered: "You lead the way in front."

After responding, Cao Yi said to Cao Heng: "Brother, please!"

Accompanied by Cao Yi, Cao Heng went to prison.

During the day, the guards guarding the prisons were very alert, because officials from the government could come here at any time.

But they did not expect that the prince of the Great Wei would come in person.

When they saw Cao Heng, the guards bowed to him.

Cao Heng ignored them, and Cao Yi, who was following him, said to the guards: "Everyone is free from courtesy. The prince came here just to interrogate those servants who committed the crime. Just raise the people one by one."

The guards responded together, and two of them immediately walked into the prison.

Cao Yi said to Cao Heng: "Brother, the prison is dirty and there is no place to sit. Please bear it a little."

"It's useless to say these." Cao Heng smiled slightly and said to Cao Yi: "You followed me outside the pass and marched and fought. What kind of suffering did you never suffer? What kind of sin did you never suffer? Compared to that time, the conditions for prison were much better."

"What the emperor said is." Cao Yi responded and told the guards that he would bring a clean chair to Cao Heng.

Cao Heng sat down, while Cao Yi stood behind him.

A moment later, the two guards escorted a servant to Cao Heng.

The servant had worked in the prince's mansion, so of course he recognized Cao Heng.

Seeing that it was the prince here, she was already nervous and panicked and kneeled down with her legs.

Kneeling on the ground, the servant trembled slightly.

Out of fear, she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Looking at the servant who was kneeling in front of her, Cao Heng asked her: "What have you stole from the Prince's Mansion? Why did you steal those things? Where did the money you got use?"
