Chapter 51: Interfering in the Interrogation of the Ministry of Criminal Justice
King Xuan has always been obsessed with the grilled fish that he only had one bite of that day, not because of the incomparable taste, but because the opportunity was once in a lifetime. He regretted that he only took one bite. He was the first to try her cooking skills, so the opportunity was like this
missed.
The incident at the concubine's flower viewing banquet is still going on. Although Concubine Li has been dealt with and Concubine Shu has been punished, the concubine knows that the anger of the Yan family has not subsided, and the family members of the guards who were punished by Concubine Li are not ready.
It’s good to give up, because Liang Yiyi, the initiator of the figurines, is still alive, and the second son of Liang, who did it, is also still alive.
Although they have been punished, the family members of the victims are neither good nor unknown. They do not think that the current punishment is enough. Besides, can a girl like Liang Yiyi, who is bad to the core, be saved?
She must be unrepentant, but her family must also be protective of others.
Concubine Li's death should be considered as a sufficient explanation. After all, the Liang family is also an honorable family.
The Liang family thinks so.
So their treatment of Liang Yiyi showed their selfishness.
When the emperor ordered Liang Yiyi to go to the royal nunnery to train as a hairdresser for one year, Prince Xuan did not raise any objection. This was because he did not think it was necessary to kill a girl. After all, it was Concubine Li who gave the order, and it was Young Master Liang who took action.
.
However, after the second son Liang was imprisoned and his title was no longer hereditary, the Liang family still tried to save him. It must be said that the Liang family still valued flesh and blood family ties and did not give up under such circumstances.
My own children are very emotional!
But this also angered King Xuan.
He felt that he wanted to seek justice for his soldiers!
He personally went to the Ministry of Punishment and personally supervised the interrogation of the Second Young Master Liang.
Originally he did not advocate the use of torture, but when he entered the prison cell of the Criminal Department, he, who had always been calm and calm, became angry. Of course, to others, he just narrowed his eyes.
He had heard before that the Ministry of Punishment would give special care to imprisoned aristocratic children. As long as the money was in place, they could enjoy a normal life in prison. He didn't believe it at first, and it wasn't until he broke in without notification that he discovered the cell leader.
While exchanging cups with Mr. Liang, he even nodded and bowed.
The cell is clean and fresh, with mahogany furniture, brocade quilts and curtains, and all snacks and tea are available.
In addition to the cell leader who was drinking with him, there were two jailers who were cleaning up the room for him!
The Minister of Justice, who rushed over after receiving the news, was so frightened when he saw the tall figure standing outside the cell that he collapsed on the ground. Prince Xuan slowly turned around and glanced at him, and he fainted.
It stands to reason that such an interrogation does not require the presence of the Minister of Punishment. However, King Xuan became angry and the news spread like wildfire. The Minister of Punishment threw away his wine glass and hurried over, wiping the sweat from his forehead and running away panting.
Entered the lobby of the Criminal Department.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Prince Xuan looked at the high hall with his hands behind his back. The Minister of Justice's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had never felt that there was anything special about this lobby. Why did Prince Xuan stop there? The majestic momentum made him feel that maybe,
This lobby is indeed very majestic.
He took a deep breath, quickly crossed the threshold and walked in. He bowed and asked cautiously: "Prince Xuan, the humble minister!"
Prince Xuan said nothing or moved.
The Minister of Punishment did not dare to straighten up. He quietly raised his head and took a peek. Prince Xuan was motionless. He was worried, and cold sweat fell down drop by drop, leaving wet drops on the bluestone.
"I believe that the Ministry of Punishment should be a place with strict rules." Prince Xuan said.
The Minister of Punishment opened his lips, but he was trembling and didn't know what to say. His eyes were a little distracted. Prince Xuan's strong aura made his usual tact lose its effect.
"Master Geng, is it time to interrogate the prisoner?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Prince Xuan took a deep breath and walked aside. Master Geng, the Minister of Punishment, quickly called to the Yamen: "Bring Prince Xuan a chair!"
The yamen servant hurriedly moved it, and Prince Xuan also sat down. His upright posture made people involuntarily become serious.
But Master Geng was very nervous, because just now he forgot to ask whether Prince Xuan was going to interrogate the Second Young Master Liang, even though he heard that he came and saw the scene in the cell...
"Uh..." He carefully leaned towards Prince Xuan: "Your Highness... look..."
"I am just a spectator. I don't need to teach you how to interrogate."
Master Geng nodded quickly: "Yes, yes... I understand, I understand."
He sat down again and wiped away the cold sweat, thinking that he was probably here for Mr. Liang...
"Come here, interrogate Liang Er...Liang Chong!" He almost blurted out "Second Young Master Liang", but fortunately he changed his words in time. He turned his eyes to Prince Xuan and found that he was not moving, so he felt a little relieved. But then he secretly complained,
He had just separated from the Liang family, and when he got the news that Prince Xuan had broken into the prison of the Ministry of Justice, he was accepting a banquet from the Liang family.
He had just promised to give Mr. Liang the most relaxed environment, the best treatment, and the lightest detention method...
I didn't expect that I would break my promise so soon.
Second Young Master Liang walked up to him with a smile on his face, but when he saw Prince Xuan, his expression changed drastically.
"Xuan...Prince Xuan..." Only then did he feel that something was wrong. He didn't know that his situation in the cell had been seen by Prince Xuan, because Prince Xuan did not come out of the dark corner.
So he still doesn't know that the things he did in prison have been discovered.
Because of his fame, he refused to kneel down and denied all the things he had done.
The interrogation reached a deadlock, and Master Geng kept looking at Prince Xuan.
Prince Xuan's eyes were fixed on Liang Chong like sharp swords.
Liang Chong trembled involuntarily, his arrogant attitude instantly restrained, and he stiffly turned his face away, forcing himself not to look at him.
Liang Chong had a reputation and could not be tortured without conclusive evidence. King Xuan sent one of his own soldiers to watch in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to prevent anyone from colluding with the confession, so he went back to find advisers to discuss countermeasures. On the other hand, he also
Send people to collect evidence urgently.
The counselors in Prince Xuan's Mansion usually have a leisurely life, because Prince Xuan himself is so resourceful and resourceful, they basically have no place to use them. Now that they know that Prince Xuan is useful to them, they all feel like they have been given blood, and their eyes are red.
Here they come. After listening to Liang Chong's questions, they knew that taking the right path would not work, and King Xuan wanted to punish Liang Chong so much that he used them, so the strategies they proposed were all deviant and crooked.
Prince Xuan couldn't help but frown and said, "Isn't there... a more open approach?"
Everyone looked at each other, didn't you come to us because you couldn't get through on the right path...
"Well, Your Majesty," one of the middle-aged men with a goatee said, "Although a person like Liang Chong is cruel, he has done many bad things and has rich experience. It is too difficult to convict him in an honest and fair manner.
.So even though we know clearly that he did the thing, we can't do anything about him. Because he doesn't follow the right path, which makes us unable to do anything. If the prince really wants to pursue the matter, why not not stick to trivial matters?"
Prince Xuan lowered his eyes and thought after hearing the words. He was a little embarrassed for a moment. He was the most upright person. The only time he abused his identity was to quell the rumors for Yan Qingzheng... At that time, he was furious and didn't think much about it. He just naturally
I stood up and spoke. But after thinking about it, if it hadn't been dealt with like that, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get justice back.
At that time, he was a little shaken in his heart. Was the fairness and justice he had always adhered to really a bit pedantic?
Is it true that everything is so upright and straight forward can't solve all problems and troubles?
Now, he hesitated again.
When Goatee saw that the prince didn't refute immediately, he lowered his head to think, and immediately looked at his colleagues: There's a chance!
"Your Majesty," another counselor with a mustache and a scribe's scarf hurriedly followed the trend, "It's not that we have given up on our principles. Although evil cannot prevail over good, after all, there is a saying that we can fight evil with evil."
Goatee also said: "Since ancient times, there have been conspiracies. In fact, this is not a heresy. It is just a matter of obtaining success at the minimum price."
The other two counselors also agreed, finally impressing King Xuan.
"Okay, I am not good at this, so I will leave this matter to you. Mr. Feng," Prince Xuan said to Goatee, "this matter will be led by Mr. Feng. You all can come up with a solution together, and then let Butler Liu go."
Just make arrangements, I only care about the results."
"I obey!" Mr. Feng was so excited that his goatee bristled.
Prince Xuan nodded and stood up, leaving with his hands behind his back.
In fact, the counselors' method is not that complicated, because the Liang family is not monolithic due to the title of Marquis Dingguo. Marquis Dingguo has two sons, Liang Yiyi and Liang Chong, who are both eldest, so the Liang family advocates risking everything to save them.
There were more people, which is why Liang Chong is still active and arrogant to this day. The second wife also has two sons, and they may not hope that the eldest brother, Liang Chong, can come out safely.
Moreover... Mr. Feng also found out that Liang Chong's elder brother was not as famous as Liang Chong. He seemed to be a friendly person, but he was actually scheming. He was not unprepared for his second brother who was becoming more and more famous in the family. Such a family was fighting against each other openly and secretly.
, it is actually very easy to break through from the inside.
After all, no matter how careful Liang Chong was, he would leave behind some personal and material evidence. These things were difficult for outsiders to find, but they were easy for the family.
The four counselors discussed like this for a while, becoming more and more detailed as they talked. They analyzed it layer by layer and made several emergency plans. They were all working hard to get this job done!
Soon the dark laughter of four people came from the room.
Prince Xuan has already thrown away his hands. He knows very well that if he participates, they will definitely be constrained. After all, his thoughts are stubborn and rigid, and they will inevitably be restrained when they stand up.
All he could think about at the moment was how to make up for his image in front of Yan Qing!
Then thinking back to his gaffe, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: How difficult it is!
Prince Xuan was struggling here, but in fact Yan Qingzheng didn't pay attention to it at all. Her attention was focused on another thing at this time.
