Chu Heng seriously denied that he had done it on purpose just now, carefully wiping her hand: "Alright, now be good and go to sleep, stop making a fuss, the hand injury won’t hurt anymore."
His voice was full of helplessness, habitually coaxing gently.
"Hmph, you’re the one who wanted to see embarrassed. Drooling certainly has nothing to do with ." Ye Muyu also cared about maintaining her dignity; even though she and Chu Heng were very close, she didn’t want to suddenly develop such a bad habit. She had to remain graceful!
"Be good and close your eyes." Chu Heng poked her slightly reddened cheek.
Her fair skin made her blush more prominent, pink against white, making her inexplicably cuter.
"Hmph, I still have sothing to tell you, I can’t sleep yet." Ye Muyu toyed with his finger.
"What is it? Go ahead, I’m listening." Chu Heng knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep without finishing her words, so he spoke very compliantly.
However, his other hand was on her wrist, as if checking her pulse.
Chu Heng’s dical skill wasn’t particularly good, but he knew how to perform a simple pulse check.
Whether it was accurate or not didn’t matter; it always made him feel more at ease after trying himself.
"Here’s the thing, my second brother saved a few won, and I suspect their backgrounds might be related to the Southern Border case you’re investigating recently..." Ye Muyu told him everything Madam Wang said at the residence without holding back.
After speaking, she added: "If what these won say is true, then this case is no small matter."
"You tell , these won were kidnapped and sent to certain residences, eventually eting tragic ends. Legally, can the nobles who bought and sold these won be guilty under the Great Chu Law?"
Chu Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly; he hadn’t expected his second brother to get involved in this by mistake.
Originally, he wasn’t planning to handle these matters at this mont.
After all, it wasn’t the best timing right now.
However, upon reconsideration, perhaps timing is always changing.
It all depends on what choice he makes.
"If the traffickers gave these won false household registrations, then used them as slave status, selling them to the residences of nobles, they would be judged according to Great Chu’s law on handling servants."
"But for those who are slaves, they naturally have no human rights; of course, they must have a legitimate contract."
Chu Heng knew there were many details in this matter that could be explored.
"He just needed to prove the won’s original identities; if they were decent family won, everyone involved would be implicated, and among them, either the traffickers colluding with the nobles or the yan’s household registration managent negligence."
"Either way, it’s a major case."
Ye Muyu, upon hearing all this, felt so sympathy for these won: "Ah Heng, will you send soone to investigate these won? I’m afraid if the people behind it know they aren’t dead and keep going to the Mass Grave Hill to pick up bodies, it will certainly raise suspicions after so ti."
"Why don’t you watch over these won, and keep an eye on the Mass Grave Hill as well? You might gather quite a lot of information." Ye Muyu said, her eyes brightening.
Chu Heng saw her so interested and felt sowhat helpless: "Do you really want to get involved?"
"Hmph, since we know about it." Ye Muyu scratched her head. According to the survivors, those who’ve experienced such ordeals are more than just a few, not even only a dozen people.
She truly felt the thods of the adversaries were cruel, and if she had the skills, she naturally wanted to deal with such scum.
"Still, your safety is the most important thing. Help if you can."
