This means that Wang Xikang's mouth is not so easy to pry open.
"No matter how hard it is to pry, you have to pry it open." Zhao Jin tilted his head and approached some ministers of the Ministry of Justice, "Sir, the seventh prince has been involved in this matter. If there are other people involved behind it."
"How powerful do you think the other party will be?"
The Minister of Punishment looked slightly stiff.
If there are others besides the seventh prince, at least they are also princes...
He didn't dare to think about it further, the answer was simply obvious.
"Do you think they will let us go by then?" Zhao Jin seemed not to notice the increasingly ugly look on the face of the Minister of Punishment as he continued.
"Master Shangshu, if you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, you will only suffer the consequences, not to mention..."
Zhao Jin looked away, rubbed the armrests of the chair with his fingertips, and said in a cold and deep voice, "This is still a root of evil."
The Minister of Punishment took a deep breath, and after a while he whispered: "What Duke Xuanping said is reasonable."
After hearing this, Zhao Jin was satisfied.
He didn't want to think that when the time came for him to investigate the case in depth, the Minister of Punishment would be afraid of getting into trouble and would hold him back.
They have all been infected, and it is almost impossible to escape unscathed.
"Let's go." Zhao Jin pressed the desk with one hand and stood up, "Go and see Wang Xikang."
The two of them walked towards the prison cell of the Criminal Department one after the other.
Wang Xikang was imprisoned in the innermost position to prevent anyone from coming in to rob the prison or kill Wang Xikang.
The prison cells in the Criminal Department are much better than the local cells, but the smell is not good either.
The rotting smell is like the smell of the dark underground.
Zhao Jin wrinkled his nose. Many cells on both sides were empty. Occasionally there were people, and when they heard the noise, they just looked up.
Those who can be put into the prison cells of the Ministry of Punishment are those who have been in the court.
There were two jailers in front of them, and the four of them stopped at the door of the innermost cell.
Zhao Jin lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Xikang, who was wearing prison clothes and looking haggard in the cell.
The other party was lying on the bed, facing the wall, and the hair on the back of his head was a mess.
It is said to be a bed, but in fact it is just made of straw and raised to a higher level.
"Wang Xikang." Zhao Jin called softly.
The movement of the four people approaching was not small. Wang Xikang had already heard it, but he did not get up.
When he heard Zhao Jin's voice, he acted as if he hadn't heard it and moved towards the wall.
One of the jailors opened the cell door. When he saw what was happening, he quickly stepped forward and kicked him, "Bold!"
The jailer shouted sharply: "The Duke of Xuanping and Lord Shangshu are here! How dare you, a guilty minister, lie here?!"
The jailer's kick was not merciful at all. Wang Xikang's back hurt. When the jailer was about to kick him a second time, he finally got up and avoided the jailer's kick.
"Duke Xuanping, Lord Shangshu." Wang Xikang cupped his hands without any emotion and was extremely perfunctory.
The jailer had just been dodged by Wang Xikang's kick, and he was already unhappy. Seeing his appearance, he became even more angry.
He glanced sideways at Zhao Jin, who was expressionless, and simply took a step forward, intending to kick Wang Xikang to the ground.
Wang Xikang saw the jailer's actions and laughed mockingly.
I don't know if I'm laughing at the jailer for bullying others, or at myself for being reduced to this situation.
"Okay." Zhao Jin stopped the jailer with words.
"You all get down."
The jailer quickly pulled back his feet and responded: "Yes."
After the jailer left, there were only three of them in the cell.
Zhao Jin looked at Wang Xikang with a cold expression, "Wang Xikang, if you insist on refusing to let go, what good will it do to you?"
Wang Xikang chuckled and sat down cross-legged.
"But what good will it do to me if I tell you?"
Wang Xikang raised his head and looked at Zhao Jin, "Will you still spare my life?"
The Minister of Punishment frowned and waved his sleeves, "Of course it's impossible."
"Heh." Wang Xikang laughed and closed his mouth.
"Do you expect them to protect your family for you?"
Zhao Jin was not angry because of this, and said calmly, "Wang Xikang, you should understand that it is impossible for you to survive, or rather."
He took a step forward, approached Wang Xikang, and lowered his voice: "The only thing you can hope for is to save the lives of your family."
"But," Zhao Jin lowered his voice, "if you die on the execution ground, can you ensure that they will save your family?"
Wang Xikang's pupils shrank suddenly and he suddenly grasped the straw in his hands.
Zhao Jin laughed and said, "You can't guarantee it."
Standing on one side, the Minister of Punishment fell on Zhao Jin, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
After a while, Wang Xikang's voice became hoarse, "So what? After I tell you, will your Majesty spare my family?"
"I can intercede for you."
Zhao Jin lowered his head and smoothed his sleeves, "Wang Xikang, your Majesty's guarantee must be more convincing than the promise of the person behind you, right?"
"If you are willing to speak, you can tell me, and I will ask you to intercede for Your Majesty."
Zhao Jin's voice paused, and then he looked at Wang Xikang, "You should know that you have to kill at least three tribes. It's okay to save one or two people, but definitely not more."
Wang Xikang's lips trembled, and he tried to open them several times, then closed them again.
Zhao Jin took Wang Xikang's expression into his eyes and laughed with unknown meaning.
He was moved.
"Master Shangshu." Zhao Jin turned around and said, "Let's go."
The Minister of Punishment seemed to have just woken up from a dream and responded with some joy.
Zhao Jin glanced at the other party strangely, why was he happy?
"Ahem." The Minister of Punishment coughed twice and the joy on his face disappeared.
However, after going out, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't help but approached and asked: "Duke Xuanping, are you interested in coming to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Zhao Jin paused, his face full of confusion, "Master Shangshu?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice seemed not to notice Zhao Jin's expression, and encouraged him: "Look, you are so good at investigating cases. It is really a waste to stay in the Ministry of War."
Zhao Jin solved several difficult cases in a row, and his interrogation techniques were really powerful.
It was clear that Wang Xikang had just changed his mind. The last case was also tried by Zhao Jin.
It would be a pity for such talents not to come to the Ministry of Justice.
Zhao Jin did not expect that the change in the expression of the Minister of Punishment was actually due to this incident.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to refuse when a familiar voice sounded.
"Okay, are you trying to pry into my corner?"
Zhao Jin and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice both froze, and when they looked out, they happened to see the Minister of the Ministry of War glaring at the two of them angrily.
The next moment, Zhao Jin wisely distanced himself from the Minister of Punishment.
"Master Shangshu, I was about to refuse Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment just now."
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice laughed dryly despite the fierce gaze of the Minister of the Ministry of War, "My officer, I am indeed right."
