Chapter 84 Is the Crown Prince still unwilling to tell the truth?

"Do you know how serious the incident in Liuzhou City is? Now that Ting Sheng has been imprisoned awaiting trial, do you want to be implicated in it?"

Song Baoling was not timid at all and looked at him seriously, "I'm not fooling around. Only if grandpa does what I say can I save my uncle."

Jun Fengqing was shocked by her serious expression. She was just a teenage girl, but she was so courageous.

After thinking for a moment, Jun Fengqing finally compromised, "Okay, tell me carefully how to save Ting Sheng?"

On the other side, after Jun Tingsheng was imprisoned, he was not in trouble, but his situation was not much better.

"Is the prince still unwilling to tell the truth?"

Qiao Xu was sitting on the chair. Standing in front of him was Jun Tingsheng, who was unjustly imprisoned. As the Minister of Punishment, he was responsible for interrogating the Wuzhou City case in person.

Jun Tingsheng looked at him with a cold face, and his voice was equally cold: "What I said is the truth. Instead of getting entangled in this, Mr. Qiao, it is better to send troops to arrest Zhao Quanwan immediately."

"He is the county magistrate of Liuzhou City, and he knows the gunpowder depot the best. I think Mr. Qiao should also understand this."

Qiao Xu stared at him in silence for a moment, then stood up and said, "Zhao Quan is nowhere to be found. According to the Holy Emperor's decree, I have sent troops to track him down. There is no need for the prince to worry."

"It's just that the prince said that there is a gunpowder depot behind the barren hills of Liuzhou City. Since the prince has found out, why didn't he report this to the Holy Master in time?"

This was the second time he asked this question. Jun Tingsheng didn't know the meaning of his question, but he answered again: "Before I had time to report, the gunpowder magazine was razed to the ground."

Qiao Xu seemed to be dissatisfied with Jun Tingsheng's answer, and the subsequent interrogation was trying to dig holes for him. On the surface, it seemed that he was investigating the case, but in fact, he wanted to prove the crime.

Fortunately, Jun Tingsheng was not stupid. He answered every question of his without any trouble and was able to evade his schemes every time.

Qiao Xu was very angry about this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Before Jun Yelan issued the decree, he could not do anything to Jun Tingsheng privately, so he could only wait.

Not long after returning to the cell, Jun Tingsheng met Cang Mu, who was dressed as a jailer. He was here to deliver news from the outside world.

"What did you say?! Ling'er went to find my father?"

Jun Tingsheng's face was full of surprise. After seeing Cangmu nodding in response, he hurriedly asked: "Why is she looking for my father?"

"I don't know the specific details, but I guess the young lady is worried about the prince, so she went to the prince to discuss countermeasures."

This was something Jun Tingsheng didn't expect. Ever since he came back five years later, Song Baoling's attitude towards him was completely different from what it was five years ago. What's more, he had misunderstood her many times during this period.

"Cangmu, no matter what Ling'er does from now on, you have only one mission, and that is to protect her, do you understand?"

"I understand, Prince, please rest assured that I will protect the young lady and wait for the Prince to return safely."

The next day——

In the main hall, the civil and military officials were whispering, and Jun Yelan was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Jun Fengqing stepped forward and saluted, and looked at Jun Yelan with a solemn expression: "My son's mishandling of affairs has led to this major incident in Liuzhou City. I request the Holy One to deal with my son as soon as possible so as to set the course of the dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, the originally chattering hall suddenly became silent.

When Jun Tianlin heard this, his expression changed slightly. He originally thought that his brother was going to plead for his son, but he never expected that he would say something about dealing with him as soon as possible.

"Uncle Emperor, Ting Sheng is indeed unlucky in his work, but I have asked the Criminal Department to conduct a thorough investigation. Until the results are announced, Ting Sheng should stay in prison."

As soon as Jun Yelan finished speaking, Jun Tianlin, who was confused, immediately echoed: "What the Holy One said makes sense, the incident in Liuzhou City is too strange, and if Ting Sheng is really wronged, he must be cleared.

"

"It's better to wait until the matter is cleared up before making a decision. I hope my cousin won't stop me then."

Jun Fengqing glanced at him without saying a word. She just saluted Jun Yelan on the dragon chair and then walked back to her original position.

call……

Jun Fengqing calmly exhaled. When he heard Song Baoling propose this method yesterday, he was also shocked. Fortunately, he succeeded in delaying the time.

In the middle of the night, according to the place given by Song Baoling, Jun Fengqing led his troops to the Moxiang Garden in the city.

Moxiang Garden is the place for fireworks in the capital, but what outsiders don't know is that this place is an property under the name of the regent, Jun Tianlin.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have checked it out and the person is hiding inside."

Jun Fengqing looked at the hut with a gloomy expression, and said solemnly: "Surround the house for me, don't let him escape."

"Also, we must stay alive."

After receiving the order, his subordinates led people closer. Jun Fengqing stayed where he was and waited, listening to the noise coming from the house, his eyes became colder.

After a moment, a group of people came out of the hut, and one of their men escorted them to Jun Fengqing.

"Back to your lord, we have confirmed that this person is Zhao Quanwan, the county magistrate of Liuzhou City. We also found the account book under his pillow."

Jun Fengqing took the account book and opened it, and found that it was filled with the accounts of the two gunpowder depots, most of which were false.

As for what exactly is wrong with the account books, we have to go back and take a closer look to find out.

"Go and see if anyone is here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jun Fengqing handed the account book to his subordinates and looked up not far away. When Song Baoling informed him of the matter today, he specifically told him to arrest him with great fanfare and make the fuss as big as possible.

Thinking about it, that person should have gotten the news.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the subordinates who were inquiring about the news to come back and report that Qiao Xu, the Minister of Punishment, came with his men.

"I have met the prince."

Qiao Xu first saluted respectfully, then glanced at Zhao Quanwan, "I didn't expect that the prince would be so quick and find the key criminal before the Criminal Department."

"However, Your Majesty has handed over the case of Liuzhou City to the Ministry of Punishment. I would like to trouble you to hand this person over to my subordinates to take him back, so that the case can be investigated as soon as possible."

Jun Fengqing snorted disdainfully, "I caught him, why did he hand him over to your Criminal Department?"

"This is the will of the Holy Spirit."

"The Holy One only said that you would try the case, but he did not say that you could snatch the prisoner from my hands."

"What the prince means is..."

"Master Qiao, please come back. I will personally interrogate this person."

Qiao Xu's expression immediately changed when he heard this, and he clenched his hands tightly at his side, "If the prince insists on doing this, I have to let the subordinates guess that the prince wants to beat him to get rid of the prince's crime."

The atmosphere became tense for a moment. The two parties stood behind their respective masters, ready to attack. Now all they needed was an order from the master.

Just as the two sides were arguing, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance. Everyone followed the sound and saw Song Baichuan galloping in on horseback.
