Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 480

[Chapter 480 I caught the fox’s tail]

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

As soon as the news came out, the emperor dropped the tea cup in his hand and ordered the Minister of Punishment to conduct a strict investigation.

After hearing the news from Si Shu, Mu Yunyao frowned immediately: “Didn’t you remind King Ling to pay attention before? Why did people take advantage of it?”

The secretary respectfully replied: “Eunuch Cheng sent a message saying that His Royal Highness King Ling did it on purpose.”

“Intentionally?” Mu Yunyao was surprised. The Ministry of Punishment was King Ling’s own territory. He deliberately messed up in his own place, so he was not afraid of the Emperor’s anger and dismissed the Minister of Punishment for questioning?

“Yes, originally King Jin just let people destroy Yang Lian’s mouth. After His Royal Highness heard the news, he deliberately did not let people stop him, and also killed Zou Min together.”

Mu Yunyao gently turned the jade bead bracelet on her wrist, her eyes darkened a little bit: “Yang Lian is at the cusp of the storm, the emperor is watching him closely, but apart from the clues we deliberately throw out, Yang Lian didn’t King Jin confessed his plan, because he knew that King Jin was safe and sound, and he might be rescued. If something happened to King Jin, he would be doomed. Why did King Jin rush to kill him regardless of the risk? ”

Si Shu 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 people. Silence? Assuming I guess right, what means will King Jin use to get out of the salt tax case?”

The secretary asked tentatively, “Could the King of Jin destroy all the evidence?”

“Evidence…evidence…” Mu Yunyao’s face turned pale, “Jin Lan, go and call Liu Liang.”

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

“Liu Liang, you bring my handwritten letter and bank note, and immediately rush to Jingling City to find steward Qin, and ask him to use the Changhe ticket number to exchange for 2 million taels of silver, and then take it to Kyoto by land, if you can see Go to King Yue and tell him that he must be careful about Linjiang River Embankment. The letter I wrote must be handed over to Steward Qin, do you understand?”

“Yes, please rest assured, Master, your subordinates will definitely live up to your trust.”

“Okay.” Mu Yunyao got up and walked behind the desk to write a letter. After writing, she carefully sealed it with beeswax. After writing three letters in a row, she stopped writing, and then went to take out the silver note and hand it to the six On both hands, “Liu Liang, you should pack up now and rush to Jingling City. You must not delay on the way. It’s hard for you.”

“My subordinate, go here.”

After Liu Liang left, Jin Lan asked cautiously, “Miss, you look so embarrassed, but is the matter serious?”

“I don’t know if my guess is right or not, but for King Jin, never underestimate this person. His methods are cold, and he is extremely cruel to himself, let alone others.” Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes. “Let’s try it. If I guess right, it’s good to take precautions before it happens. If I don’t guess right, it’s just a waste of manpower and material resources.”

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

The Minister of Punishment was ordered to investigate what happened in the prison. In the end, only two prison guards who were afraid of crime committed suicide were arrested. Seeing that the closing date set by the emperor was approaching, he could only bite the bullet and report the result.

The emperor was furious when he saw this result. The Ministry of Punishment was the place where the law was the most strict, but two high-ranking officials of the court were assassinated and died in prison before they were convicted. This was equivalent to a loud slap in the face. on the face of the court.

The Minister of Punishment came out of the palace, and his body was quite stooped. After changing his clothes, he hurried to the palace of King Ling.

King Ling had been waiting for the Minister of Punishment for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he had tea served to appease him: “Master Shao, you don’t have to worry so much, this king has already investigated it clearly, the two dead jailers did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but They were murdered and killed, and the people who killed them were sent by the steward of the Jin Palace.”

The Minister of Punishment had just drank a sip of tea. After hearing this, he was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, and the tea was splashed on the ground: “Your Highness… Your Highness, do you want me to sue His Highness King Jin?”

The dispute between the two His Royal Highnesses has been going on for a long time. No matter how much they fight in private, on the surface, it always shows that the emperor likes to watch the brother and brother Gong. Even if his face is torn, he should not be a minister of punishment. This is not the case. Do you want life?

“Master Shao, rest assured, this king will not let you identify King Jin, but only let you report the results of the investigation truthfully to the emperor, and he will make a decision himself.” Wang Wang raised the corner of his lips, his eyes were full of With a clear mind.

“Your Highness, this…isn’t this inappropriate?”

“Master Shao was reprimanded by the royal father for entering the palace before? The impact of this case is really bad. Master Shao can’t find out the results before the stipulated closing date. That is your incompetence as a minister of punishment, and the royal father is angry. , I can’t say that you will be directly dismissed from your official position, can Master Shao accept such a result?”

“If I did what His Highness said, wouldn’t the Emperor hold him accountable?”

“If the lord does what the king said, the king can ensure that the lord is safe and sound. Master Shao, you are the right arm of this king. Over the years, it is only by the support of the lord that the king will not fall behind in the court. The king will always keep it in his heart, and now that something happens, this king will try his best to protect you no matter what.”

After thinking carefully for a moment, the Minister of Punishment nods heavily: “Okay, then the lower official will obey the prince’s instructions.”

“it is good.”

Two days later, the Minister of Punishment wrote the letter again. This time the emperor was also furious, but it was not the Minister of Punishment, but the King of Jin that he implied in his memorial.

King Jin was directly summoned to the palace. When Zou Min was poisoned together, he guessed that King Ling wanted to use this method to target him. Although he tried his best to smooth out the evidence, there were still clues that he had been killed in a hurry. found. I don’t know why the Minister of Punishment was so accurate in arresting him, but he even found out the housekeeper in his house.

“Father, my son really doesn’t know anything about it. During this time, my son has been busy with the transformation of Qu Li in the Ministry of Works, and he has rarely come out of the house, so how could he be involved in the murder case in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? The reporter said that the Minister of Punishment has always been close to the eldest brother, and even if the minister wanted to intervene, he would not have the opportunity.”

Hearing this, the Minister of Punishment hurriedly rebutted: “His Royal Highness King Jin, the subordinate has identified the housekeeper in your house, even if you don’t believe that he has made a big mistake, you should go back for a good interrogation and then come to a conclusion. The hasty refutation seems to have a guilty conscience. Could it be that you know everything about your housekeeper’s actions?”
