"Guards, take him away and put Qiao Hongxi in the prison. We will decide on his fate later!"
Qiao Hongxi was startled, and he tried to protest, "Officer, you can't… Officer!"
Qiao Hongxi's voice faded away as the guards escorted him away.
The governor rubbed his forehead, trying to compose himself and deal with the aftermath of the situation. The matter at hand involved officials from the court, Crown Prince's followers, and questions of ethics between men and women.
Shao Yunduan had hoped that by capturing Qiao Hongxi, he could uncover the identity of the mastermind. However, the mastermind had manipulated Qiao Hongxi with a letter that was now missing.
The governor of Heavenly Mansion found himself unable to do much in this situation.
Qiao Hongxi seemed to be clueless about the whole affair. He couldn't recall who gave him the letter, and the letter itself had disappeared.
