"This... I have already asked, it was just a routine matter at the time." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said with a headache. There is another strange thing about this matter. Originally, it was just a brief inquiry, not a formal opening of the court. I asked to record a written confession.
All it takes is a signature and a pledge. The key point is the process of gaining Yu Lanyun's trust.
The next step is to verify it, just check it from the store.
Something happened to the prince of Zhengyuan Hou, and his whereabouts are unknown now. What we need to find out is his whereabouts, and everything else is considered a trivial matter.
It didn't take long to record the confession before you could leave. But just as he was about to leave, the official who was recording the confession was called away by another important case. Yu Lanyun kept waiting there. The waiting time was much longer. Outside,
Yu Xijiao couldn't wait any longer, so she went to the shade of a tree to escape the heat and rest.
Unexpectedly, the man kept waiting under the tree, as if he knew that the carriage was bound to come.
"Routine? It's routine to leave one case and go to another one?" An and the eldest princess sneered.
"That case is a murder case and will be handled immediately..." the Minister of Punishment said helplessly.
"That case was a murder case, but this case is not. Just leave the girl from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion in the yamen. Do you think there is really no problem here?" Princess An and the eldest princess stood up impatiently.
"I won't argue with you about this matter, let's go into the palace together!"
"Princess Princess, this matter... is really an accident..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice had to stand up. If he could, he only regretted that he did not pay attention to this matter at that time, otherwise he would not have caused such a big thing.
An and the eldest princess knew at the first glance that they were not going to let them go.
"Master Shangshu, it's useless for you to say this, and it's useless for me to say it. We'll report it to the emperor before we make a final decision. If it weren't for Prince Qi's son, my granddaughter would have died in front of your Yamen this time." An
He and the eldest princess said coldly, turned around and walked out. The Minister of Punishment had no choice but to follow.
As he walked, he ordered people to investigate the matter again and investigate everyone involved today.
What happened to Yu Lanyun is indeed a coincidence, and it usually does not happen, but if there is anything, the case is real, and it is indeed urgent. The document before the case over there was sick, and he had a fever at home and asked for leave, so he had to take a leave of absence.
Find a clerk and be anxious to close the case.
Closing the case is the most important step, and there can't be any mistakes. Then I transferred the documents for recording Yu Lanyun's confession for a while.
In the royal study room, the emperor, who was sinking like water, listened to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment tell the story of the matter. After he finished speaking, he looked at Princess An and the eldest princess and promised: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely let the Ministry of Punishment thoroughly understand this matter."
If we investigate, no one will be spared, and the person behind the assassination will be found out."
"Your Majesty." Princess An and the eldest princess stood up from their chairs, walked to the Emperor, and knelt down, "I beg the Emperor to make the decision for Jiao'er. Jiao'er... almost died. She is the only biological daughter of the Xie family.
, and she is also the only granddaughter that I feel comfortable with. She seems to be..."
Princess An and the eldest daughter said in a trembling voice. After reaching this point, she couldn't continue and her eyes became red.
The emperor was stunned and immediately said: "Hurry... help my aunt up quickly."
Sun Xing reacted very quickly and reached out to support Princess An and the eldest princess: "Princess, don't be anxious. It's not like you don't know the emperor's temper. If such a big thing happens, the emperor will definitely help Miss Yu.
If you vent your anger, no matter who is behind this matter, the Emperor will not forgive you lightly."
"Yes, aunt, don't worry, I will investigate this matter strictly, and I will not let anyone have anything to do with it," the emperor also said.
The Minister of the Punishment Department took a breath of air, and his face became more and more bitter. From a real perspective, the Punishment Department must have something to do with it, but there was nothing he could do about it. His Punishment Department was indeed involved.
How could this happen by such a coincidence? Why did it happen in the Ministry of Justice?
The last person who went out to call someone was because Yu Lanyun couldn't explain something clearly, and the later clerk wanted to ask questions, so he sent a yamen officer out specially.
But the yamen officer didn't do anything good, and almost let a murderer escape. Thinking of this, the Minister of Punishment felt that he had an old toothache.
This matter... really gave him a toothache...
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess An and the eldest princess did not hold back. They straightened up and showed a wry smile on their faces: "Jiao'er is young and not very sensible. She looks like Xiangxiang. I haven't seen her before.
, I didn’t worry that much, but seeing her now, it’s like seeing...seeing..."
An and the eldest princess could not speak anymore and were choked with sobs for a while.
The veins on the emperor's forehead popped out, and he was very irritated. He had not heard this name for many years. Not only did he not say it, he also refused to let others say it. Basically, everyone who knew this name would not mention it now.
, including An and the eldest princess who are now out of the public eye.
Everyone knows that he doesn't want to talk about the past too much.
"The eldest princess will go back to rest first. I have sent the imperial doctor and a medical girl to look at Yu Xijiao's injuries. I heard that the injury is not serious. It is a blessing in the misfortune." The emperor interrupted An and the eldest princess.
"Yes...just a little bit..." Princess An and the eldest daughter nodded, and bowed to the emperor with a sad expression, without forcing the emperor, "An He resigned."
"Come here, take care to send the eldest princess out of the palace." The emperor said loudly.
Sun Xing hurriedly stepped forward, held the hands of An and the eldest princess, and led her out.
After waiting outside the door, he called two chamberlains to come over and help Princess An and the eldest princess get into the palace sedan. As the palace sedan was about to leave, Sun Xing whispered to comfort the saddened princess An and eldest princess: "Don't worry, eldest princess, your Majesty.
The Ministry of Punishment will definitely be severely punished, and I will definitely vent your anger."
"What's the use of venting your anger again? If at that time... Jiao'er would have been... dead." Princess An and the eldest daughter had sharp faces and annoyance in their voices, "Eunuch Sun, if there is even the slightest bit of news about this matter.
, please be sure to inform me that I am old and the Xuanping Hou Mansion has declined, but I am not someone who can bully anyone who wants to."
When they said this, An and the eldest princess regained the strength they had not had for many years. They were not crying needlessly. This was the difference between the eldest princess and other princesses.
Even though he was extremely sad, he did not shed tears in front of the emperor, but being shed tears like this made people feel even more sad.
Sun Xing knew the knot between An and the eldest princess, so he sighed in his heart and agreed repeatedly.
After watching the palace sedan leave, he turned around and entered the royal study again, following the emperor to wait on him.
The Minister of Punishment was scolded for leaving. Anyone who has anything to do with this matter, even if there is evidence or no evidence, must be verified. If it cannot be verified, it must be downgraded. A single crime of negligence can lead to the death of several people involved.
The person responsible could be demoted to any level, or even be expelled from the Ministry of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment left with a headache.
The imperial study became quiet, and the emperor slapped the table angrily, his face gloomy.
Neither of the two chamberlains dared to speak. They only lowered their heads and did not dare to move. It took a while before they heard the emperor's angry voice: "Yu Xixiang, Yu Xixiang again, you have been dead for so long, and you are still talking about this matter.
I didn't give her any benefits? I promised her so many benefits at that time, but she didn't hold on to the blessing, who's to blame?"
Sun Xing and Wang An knew part of what happened, and their heads lowered further and further. The emperor didn't want anyone to mention this matter. Even if they were the emperor's confidants, it was best not to mention it.
, this is the most aggrieved thing for the emperor in so many years.
The others withdrew early, and there were only two chamberlains in the royal study. After the emperor said to himself, no one responded, and his eyes turned to his two confidants: "Tell me about this, what do you think?"
After the two chamberlains looked at each other, Wang An spoke first: "Your Majesty, this matter has been going on for so long. The original matter was planned by Ming and the eldest princess. What does it have to do with you? You have also compensated what should be compensated. As for the future,
What happened was not that blessed, so I can’t blame you.”
sun
.”
"Your Majesty, who do you think is going to attack Miss Yu?" Wang An poured a cup of tea for the Emperor and followed Sun Xing's words.
The two chamberlains were usually jealous, but at this time they decided to change the topic together, and no one wanted to talk about what happened back then.
The emperor is not willing to listen. No matter what they say, they still violate the emperor's taboo.
As the emperor's personal servant, I still understand the emperor's temperament very well. There are some things that the emperor can say, but they cannot say. It is best not to mention it. Even if you must say it, you have to deviate from the original topic immediately. This
That's the point of Hello, Hello, Hello to everyone.
"Who did it?" The emperor was furious, "Who would be so short-sighted to attack a young lady? Even if something happens to her, what's the use?"
Is it related to the eldest son?
Not like that!
Is it related to the second son?
It doesn’t look like it either!
Third son?
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slammed the table hard: "Check, check hard, no matter where you find, you won't let it go, even if it's the eldest princess's house."
Princess Ming and the eldest princess have always liked to rob An and the eldest princess. Back then, her daughter robbed the husband-in-law of An and the eldest princess's daughter. She had already entered into a marriage contract without caring about others, and actually had an affair with someone, and even secretly had an affair with him.
Jie, thinking of the scene at that time, the emperor gritted his teeth angrily. Princess Ming and the eldest princess were people who would do anything to achieve their goals.
This matter cannot be said to have something to do with her, otherwise who would deal with a useless lady because Yu Xijiao became Feng Yu's fiancée?
No matter how you look at it, this reason has nothing to do with the sons. Even if the sons have no future, it is impossible for them to do such a thing. She is just a woman who is not helpful, and she is not the original Yu Xixiang!
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to come over. Prince Qi...is...going to raise a fire!" A trembling voice from a chamberlain came from outside.
