Gong Shangshu's little behavior was clearly seen by the emperor who was in a high position. The emperor's lips curled up before he said: "Do I have to pay you money when I enter the gate of your punishment department?"
Gong Shangshu hurriedly did not dare to be distracted, knelt down and said: "I don't dare. I don't know about the gate guards collecting money. I will investigate and deal with it strictly when I go back." The emperor has always been a peacemaker, why did he get angry today? The Prime Minister's Mansion If Jin Sun is dead, shouldn't he be investigated and dealt with severely? These blind bastards have to accept money from others. They even dare to accept money from Eunuch Fu, for fear that they will go crazy for money.
Princess Yu was so angry that she completely forgot that the gangsters from the Ministry of Justice also took her one hundred taels of silver notes.
Gong Shangshu was facing a catastrophe, and he was still muttering and complaining in his heart. He was not afraid of checking. Anyway, the money never got through his hands. The guards at the gate were often changed. They bullied the superiors and the inferiors, collected money and fined them. They were imprisoned for a few days and then released. , this is also common.
Nangong Nan became angry when he saw Gong Shangshu's calm demeanor: "There's no need to wait for you to go back to investigate. I'll deal with it directly now."
"According to my decree, Gong Renyi was removed from the post of Minister of Punishment and demoted to a commoner, and the two guards who collected money were beheaded."
Gong Shangshu became anxious now, and his legs began to tremble while he was kneeling on the ground. He said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I have not made any mistakes. You cannot dismiss me from my post."
The Ministry of Punishment has the most money. Any prisoner who enters the jail of the Punishment Department will be ruined at best, or his family will be destroyed at worst. Evidence of Gong Renyi's crime will soon be presented.
Gong Renyi moved his eyes to Lin Xiang, as if to say, "Xiang Lin, please beg the emperor for me."
Prime Minister Lin seemed too aloof today, and everything that happened in the palace seemed to have nothing to do with him. An Xiyue also saw the clues. The Prime Minister Lin in her memory should be an "amiable" smiling tiger, and Gong Shangshu was also one of his, after all. He ignored it, which was weird.
Lin Xuzhi was also a little anxious and looked at his father. Gong Renyi usually got his father's approval for the things he did. If his father didn't speak now, he might be chilling the officials in the palace who were loyal to their Lin Mansion.
"Your Majesty, I have evidence to prove that the prince of Prince Yu killed my son. This matter has nothing to do with Gong Shangshu. Please take back your order."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Lin Xuzhi: "What evidence?"
Commander Lin stepped forward confidently, took out a piece of brocade from his sleeve and presented it: "This is what the minister's son has been holding tightly in his hands. He will identify the murderer even if he dies."
Lin Xuzhi shed two more tears as he spoke, feeling unbearable with grief and anger, which also attracted a burst of sympathy and comfort from all the ministers.
Eunuch Fu opened it after checking that there was nothing unusual, and his eyes widened immediately. Inside, it was written with a bloody finger: "Prince Nangong and An Xiyue kill me..." This piece of brocade was obviously the corner of a man's clothes.
When Nangong Nan saw Eunuch Fu's face full of shock, he stopped moving forward and said in a cold voice: "Hurry up and present it."
Eunuch Fu quickly bowed forward and opened the blood-stained brocade to the emperor.
Nangong Nan also frowned deeply after seeing it.
The ministers began to look forward to it again, and when they saw dirty blood stains on the brocade, they began to talk again, speculating that it was a blood letter written by Lin Ji before his death, and it must be related to Lin Xuzhi's lawsuit against the prince of Prince Yu and the Marquis of Anping. , now the evidence is really conclusive, Princess Yu cannot be saved even if she goes to Zhou Kingdom.
Commander Lin pointed at An Yuxiao and said: "The best evidence is the Anpinghou's wife. Does Anpinghou's Mansion support witchcraft? If his wife is found, the truth will be revealed. Unless, Anpinghou's Mansion She was hidden or destroyed."
