If the witchcraft case is not solved for a day, the stain on the queen's body will not be washed away.
Emperor Tianxi knew this very well, so he naturally wanted to make full use of the opportunity of recovering the Phoenix Seal to rectify his queen's name.
What's more, as the emperor, he doesn't have the jade seal in his hand, so he relies on the phoenix seal in the queen's hand for support.
After all, his wife is the queen's destiny, and he, the emperor, must be the emperor's destiny.
The comments of the people outside the court could not stop Yang Ning's cry.
The old general's eyes turned red when he saw his daughter like this.
Originally I was extremely angry with Mother Wu, but now that I saw the person dead, my mood became a bit complicated.
He has lived to such an age and experienced many battles, so he can naturally see the pleading look in Wu's mother's eyes before she died.
The reason why Wu's mother committed suicide by taking poison was to save her daughter's life.
In short, the person who committed the crime is dead, so there is no proof, right?
However, the old general understood that even if the eldest daughter was not involved in everything that happened back then, she must have been aware of it, and she might even have tacitly approved of it.
However, now, the old general will naturally not make this clear.
Mr. Xia was also a little embarrassed.
It stands to reason that the note Yang Ning handed over and the evidence that Wu Shu was sent to the Su family's annex were clarified before her death by Yang Ning's mother Wu.
It can be said that Mother Wu took over everything and picked Yang Ning cleanly.
However, Mr. Xia has been an official for so many years. If a veteran general or a general can see things, Mr. Xia can naturally detect them.
However, Mother Wu died so neatly that she didn't even have the chance to be interrogated.
Mr. Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little uneasy.
He breathed a sigh of relief because, based on his relationship with the Su family and the General's Mansion, he naturally did not want Yang Ning to be implicated in this matter, so as not to affect the General's Mansion.ωωw.
Moreover, the Queen Empress even risked her life to take over the matter for her sister Yang Ning, so she naturally did not want anything to happen to Yang Ning.
Now that Mother Wu is dead, it will save trouble.
However, as the presiding judge, he knew that Yang Ning had a problem but pretended to turn a blind eye. He must be feeling unhappy.
Mr. Xia slapped the crowd and said in a majestic voice: "Come here! Drag the criminal's body down!"
Several government servants came forward and dragged away Mother Wu's body amidst Yang Ning's cries.
Immediately, Master Xia ordered that Yang Ning and Wu Shu be temporarily imprisoned.
After all, Yang Ning took the blame for Wu's mother and came to surrender, as well as Wu Shu's failure to report the incident, which is a violation of the law and should be severely punished.
What's more, there are still many doubtful points in this case that have not been investigated clearly.
For example, who wrote the words on the note, and who is the person behind the scenes...
Naturally, Yang Ning would not resist, but looked at the old general with tears streaming down her face and pleading eyes.
"Dad, it's my daughter who is unfilial. Mother Wu is doing this for her daughter... Wuwu..." Yang Ning cried and knelt on the ground and said, "Please, for the sake of my unfilial daughter, when Mother Wu's body is returned,
, send someone to bury it properly, don’t want to be thrown into a mass grave... Wuwu..."
The old general closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, although she did such unkind and treasonous things, she is still a slave of the Yang family, and the Yang family will naturally not let her body be exposed in the wilderness."
I have to say that the old general still agreed with Wu's mother's choice to commit suicide.
As Mother Wu, she did such a thing, and if she didn't commit suicide, her future death would be even more painful.
Yang Ning listened to the old general's words, kowtowed to the old general, and was taken away by the officer.
The old general and his son watched Yang Ning being taken away, and felt very sad.
She secretly thought to herself that she had to do some sorting to prevent Yang Ning from being wronged in prison.
After all, blood and family ties are there, right?
The old general left Dali Temple and went directly to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor without returning to the general's residence.
When Yang Wei and Yang Wu heard this, they naturally wanted to follow their father.
As for Mr. Xia, he originally wanted to organize the case first so that he could report the progress of the case to the emperor during the court meeting the next morning.
The matter about the note is a long time ago, and the witnesses are all dead, so it may not be easy to investigate.
However, the queen can take it out, which is a top priority!
"Sir, I sent a young man to see you for something." An official came in to report.
Master Xia nodded and asked the people to be brought in.
Soon, the boy next to Mr. Xia family walked in quickly.
"I've met the master."
"What happened?" Master Xia asked.
"In reply to the master, the master asked the young man to come and ask the master to return to the house as soon as possible." The young man replied respectfully: "The master said that Mr. Su, the fourth master and the fifth master of the Su family have arrived at the house and have something to ask for.
Let's discuss the matter, it is related to the lifelong happiness of the young lady."
Following the boy's words, Master Xia showed a surprised expression on his face.
Immediately, my heart sank suddenly.
If the Su family father and his son did this, they were afraid something big would happen.
Mr. Xia ordered his master to sort out the case, and he hurried back home.
However, as soon as the carriage left Dali Temple, the road ahead was blocked.
"Let me go...let me go..."
"Woooooooo..."
"Wow wow wow..."
Following the sound of crying, a majestic guard guard came over escorting a group of men and women.
Master Xia frowned.
He was busy reviewing cases in Dali Temple today, but he didn't know that the emperor had issued an imperial edict and that Prince Rong's palace had been raided.
When I saw these people at this time, I was a little confused. I didn't know which family had committed a crime and had their house ransacked.
"It seems that Prince Rong's Mansion may be doomed this time..."
"Do you even need to say this? Anyone with eyes has seen it..."
"By the way, what exactly did Prince Rong's Mansion commit?"
"Who knows? As Prince Rong, as a prince, unless——"
When the man said this, he suddenly stopped.
Then, he looked at the people around him, clicked his tongue, and showed an unpredictable expression.
"Wang San, stop fucking with me and let it go!" someone urged.
Wang San wasn't angry at all, he just gave the man a look of contempt.
Then, he said meaningfully: "Think about it, King Rui back then..."
When Wang San said this, he stopped talking.
But everyone around him understood.
After all, everyone knew about King Rui's rebellion back then.
Lord Xia was on the carriage and also understood.
It turns out that the emperor took action against Prince Rong's Mansion.
However, didn’t the jade seal not be found?
I have to say that Mr. Xia is busy with the witchcraft case, and the news is really limited.
He didn't know that Yuxi had been fished out of the lake by his goddaughter.
Mr. Xia waited until the Royal Forest Army escorted a group of people from Prince Rong's Mansion to wait, and then he hurried back to the Mansion in a carriage.
