The Minister of Punishment suddenly saw the second prince, and he was stunned. Some time ago, he followed Prime Minister Wen's order to imprison the Mu family. The royal family didn't say anything at that time. Why did the second prince suddenly rush over now?
"I would like to extend my greetings to the Second Prince. I didn't know that the Second Prince was here. I missed you from afar, so please forgive me, His Highness Prince Jing."
This young Minister of the Ministry of Justice has always been obedient in his work. If it hadn't been for Wen Cheng's initial guarantee, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to reach his current position.
Therefore, the way to deal with him is actually very simple. It is enough to use power to suppress people.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, you are being too slow. I have already arrived at your inner court, and you came here in a hurry. How can you forgive me?"
Inexplicably, he suddenly offended a prince, and the Minister of Punishment was filled with questions, so he could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Please forgive me, His Highness Prince Jing. I really didn't know that His Highness Prince Jing arrived suddenly, so I would like to apologize to His Highness Prince Jing."
The second prince sneered and slapped his hand heavily on the tea table next to him.
"You should know, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, that I am not looking for you today just for a small courtesy. How is your investigation of the Mu family's affairs going?"
The Minister of Punishment was stunned. The royal family had no opinion on this matter before. What happened now?
But the question is not what happened to them, but how should I answer whether they want to get rid of the Mu family or keep the Mu family? Or is it just simple suppression?
For a while, the Minister of Punishment couldn't help but brainstorm, but he still couldn't figure out what to do.
So I can only try to tell the truth honestly.
"Going back to His Highness Prince Jing, except for the dirty silver found in the Mu family, the rest of the Mu family has no confession, and there are no witnesses to prove this matter."
The second prince smiled slightly and raised his hand to play with the ring in his hand.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, as an official in the capital, you have to be more careful in your conduct. After all, this world belongs to our Yaoguang clan, not the Wen family. If this master makes a mistake, not only will he lose. My head is broken, why do you think my father suddenly fell seriously ill, and why do you think the Mu family has been wronged for so long, why has no one taken action?"
Sometimes there is no need to say much, they just need to guess by themselves. Such timid people will inevitably think too much in their hearts, and sometimes things will be done better.
When it came time to give a confession, the second prince on the left and right didn't talk nonsense. He made his own guesses.
After all, this Minister of Punishment is cannon fodder on the Wen family's side, and it's the same here.
After saying these words, the second prince stood up and left the Ministry of Justice, but he did not go through the main entrance. He looked very familiar with the home of the Minister of Justice, so he did not need anyone to show him the way, so he left through the side door.
Seeing this scene, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice suddenly felt that he was about to die. He had taken refuge in the Wen family for so long, and now it seemed that he was being targeted by people from the Tian family.
The attendants around him rushed over, saw that his master was sweating, and raised his hands to support his master.
"Master, are you okay? Why did you just say a few words and break out in a cold sweat?"
"Confused, you stupid bastard, can't you see? This second prince is very familiar with our family. Maybe every word you and I say is in front of us with our eyes closed!"
The followers below are indeed confused, and they still have the heart to joke at this time.
"My master's eyes can't hear what you are saying. I can only look at you twice at most!"
The Minister of Punishment was so angry that he had nothing to say. He pushed the entourage away and turned around to go to the Punishment Prison.
When he hurriedly arrived at the Penal Department Prison, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.
From what the second prince said just now, it can be heard that people in the royal family still value the Mu family very much.
But now that the two young masters of the Mu family were almost beaten to death, he was now in big trouble.
"General Mu, Lord Mu, I'm really sorry. Wei Chen was confused in investigating the case, and he was lax in handling the case. At present, we have not obtained sufficient evidence. The people here are so eager for quick success that they even resorted to punishment. Wei Chen just learned about it and came in a hurry Yes, I’m really sorry.”
The people from the Punishment Department were so vicious two days ago that they wanted to beat people to death.
What kind of style does the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment have today? The Ministry of Punishment Prison is under his control. Doesn't he know whether the people below have been sentenced?
But now his life was finally saved. The Minister of Punishment not only apologized, but also called a doctor to treat his injuries.
After the wounds were taken care of, they were even moved to a better cell and given food and wine.
At this time, General Mu was also brought here. Fortunately, General Mu had a great reputation and no one dared to attack him. Otherwise, Mu Lan would be able to dismantle the criminal department.
But General Mu frowned when he looked at the clean and tidy cell and the food and wine on the table.
"What's going on? Which one of you two smeared my Mu family?"
General Mu thought it was because his two sons had followed each other's wishes and received such good treatment, but when these words came out, the two brothers felt aggrieved.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How is this possible? The two of us were tied together and didn't say anything. It suddenly happened like this. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice didn't know what kind of nerve he had, and he suddenly moved us. Here, we also found a doctor.”
Old General Mu couldn't figure it out, but he knew there must be someone outside helping.
"If my guess is correct, I am afraid that the three princes took action. Now the palace must be in chaos. However, because the prince did not take care of the Mu family before, these villains succeeded. Now he has recovered. "
General Mu and his eldest son thought for a moment, and it must be this reason, so they picked up the wine and meat and started eating without thinking too much.
It's just that Mu Chan is not completely relieved at the moment, and he doesn't know what happened to the imperial concubine and the little princess.
While Mu Chan was thinking about the imperial concubine, the eldest prince was also thinking of ways to rescue the imperial concubine.
It's a pity that a large number of people in the palace have been replaced, and the remaining people are really difficult to bribe.
And he was also worried that one moment his purpose had been exposed, and the next moment these people had become double agents and betrayed him, that would be troublesome.
So she moved extremely slowly. The imperial concubine waited in the place where she was imprisoned for a long time, and there was no other movement. She even wondered if the paper dumpling was her hallucination?
So the imperial concubine simply pretended to be sick, attracted help, and killed her from the inner court department.
"Concubine Mu, what do you want to do? Do you still want to overthrow the world?"
The queen and her people surrounded the imperial concubine and scolded her with a stern face.
