Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

While the officials in Kyoto were anxiously waiting for news from Jiangnan, another incident occurred in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Yang Lian and Zou Min who were imprisoned died suddenly overnight.

As soon as the news came out, the emperor directly dropped the teacup in his hand and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate strictly.

Mu Yunyao frowned immediately after hearing the news from Secretary Si: "Didn't you remind King Ling to pay attention before? Why did someone take advantage of it?"

The secretary replied respectfully: "Eunuch Cheng sent someone to send news that His Royal Highness King Ling did it on purpose."

"Deliberately?" Mu Yunyao was surprised. The Ministry of Punishment is King Ling's own territory. If he intentionally caused trouble in his own place, wouldn't he be afraid that the emperor would dismiss the minister of the Ministry of Punishment for questioning in a fit of anger?

"Yes, at first King Jin just let people kill Yang Lian's mouth. After His Royal Highness King Ling heard the news, he deliberately didn't let people stop him, and killed Zou Min at the same time."

Mu Yunyao gently turned the jade bead bracelet on her wrist, and her eyes darkened a little bit: "Yang Lian is at the cusp of the storm, and the emperor is watching him very closely, but apart from the clues we deliberately threw out, Yang Lian didn't take it seriously. King Jin confessed his plan because he knew that King Jin was safe and sound, and it was possible to rescue him. If something happened to King Jin, he would really be doomed. Why did King Jin rush to silence him regardless of the risk? "

The secretary and the others waited quietly, not daring to interrupt Mu Yunyao's thoughts.

Mu Yunyao's movement of turning the bracelet suddenly stopped: "Could it be that King Jin has already figured out how to get out of the Jiangnan salt tax case, and the only loophole is Yang Lian who knows the inside story, so he is in a hurry to get rid of him?" Silence? Assuming I guessed it right, then what method will King Jin use to get out of the salt tax case?"

The secretary spoke tentatively: "Could it be that King Jin can destroy all the evidence?"

"Evidence... Evidence..." Mu Yunyao's face turned pale, "Jin Lan, go and call Liu Liang over."

Soon, Liu Liang came to Mu Yunyao: "I have seen the master."

"Liu liang, take my handwritten letter and bank notes, and immediately go to Jingling City to find Guanshi Qin, and ask him to use the Changhe ticket number to exchange two million liang of silver, and then send it to Kyoto by land. Go to King Yue and tell him to be careful of Linjiang and the embankment. The letter I wrote must be handed over to Guanshi Qin, understand?"

"Yes, please rest assured, master, the subordinates will definitely live up to their trust."

"Okay." Mu Yunyao got up and went to the back of the table to write a letter. After writing, she carefully sealed it with beeswax. She wrote three letters in a row before she stopped writing. Then she went to take out the banknote and handed it to six With both hands, "Liu Liang, you pack up now and rush to Jingling City, there will be no delay on the way, thank you for your hard work."

"This subordinate will go here."

After Liu Liang left, Jin Lan asked cautiously: "Miss, your face is so embarrassing, but the matter is serious?"

"I don't know if my guess is right, but for King Jin, never underestimate this person. His methods are so cruel that he is extremely cruel to himself, let alone others." Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, "Give it a try. If I'm right, it's good to prevent problems before they happen. If I don't guess right, it's just a waste of manpower and material resources."

Jin Lan was still confused, but seeing that Mu Yunyao's face was really ugly, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry was ordered to investigate what happened in the prison, but in the end only two jailers who committed suicide in fear of crime were caught. Seeing that the closing date set by the emperor was approaching, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the result.

The emperor was furious after seeing this result. The Ministry of Punishment is the place where the law is the most strict, but two court officials were assassinated and died in prison before they were convicted. This is equivalent to a loud slap in the face. Above the court's face.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came out of the palace with a rather stooped figure. After changing his clothes, he hurried to the Palace of the Prince of Ling.

King Ling had been waiting for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice for a long time. Seeing him coming, he asked someone to serve tea to appease him: "Master Shao, you don't have to worry so much. This king has already investigated clearly. The two dead jailers did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but They were murdered and killed by people, and the person who killed them was sent by the steward of Prince Jin's residence."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice just took a sip of tea, and when he heard this, he fell to the ground in fright, and the tea splashed all over the floor: "Your Highness...Your Highness, do you want me to sue His Highness Prince Jin?"

The two His Royal Highnesses have been fighting for a long time. No matter how much they fight in private, on the surface they have always acted like brothers and sisters that the emperor likes to see. Even if they are tearing apart their faces at the moment, it shouldn’t be that he is a minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Isn’t that Do you want to die?

"Master Shao, don't worry, I won't ask you to identify King Jin, but I just want you to report the results of the investigation to the emperor truthfully, and he will make his own decision." King Ling raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of Have a well-thought-out color.

"Your Highness, this...isn't it inappropriate?"

"Master Shao was reprimanded by his father when he entered the palace before, right? The impact of this case is really bad. If Mr. Shao can't find out the results before the stipulated closing date, that is the performance of your incompetence, the minister of punishment. The emperor was furious. , maybe you will be dismissed directly from your official position, will Mr. Shao accept such a result?"

"If I do what His Highness says, will the Emperor not pursue it?"

"If my lord does what I say, I will be able to ensure that my lord is safe and sound. Master Shao, you are my right-hand man. Over the years, it is all thanks to your support that I can not lose the wind in the court. It is your credit to me The king always keeps it in his heart, and now that something has happened, the king will do his best to protect you no matter what."

After careful consideration for a moment, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment nodded heavily: "Okay, then I will obey the prince's orders."

"it is good."

Two days later, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice wrote the letter again, and this time the emperor was also furious, but it was not the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but King Jin who was secretly pointed at in his memorial.

King Jin was directly summoned into the palace. When Zou Min was poisoned together, he guessed that King Ling wanted to use this method to target himself. found out. I don't know why Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice caught him so accurately, and even found out the housekeeper in his mansion.

"Father, my son really doesn't know anything about it. During this time, my son has been busy reforming Quli in the Ministry of Industry, and rarely even leaves the house. How could he be involved in the murder case in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? The reporter said that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has always been close to the great emperor, and even if the minister wanted to intervene, he would not have the opportunity."

Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment quickly refuted: "His Royal Highness, the officer identified the housekeeper of your mansion. Even if you don't believe that he made a big mistake, you should go back and interrogate him carefully before drawing conclusions. Hastily rebutting, on the contrary, is suspected of guilt. Could it be that you know everything about your housekeeper like the back of your hand?"
