As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions darkened.
The second prince's eyes widened even more. Was she crazy? She took out this thing in public?
No, Qin Yun is crazy!
The second prince laughed wildly in his heart, Qin Yun was dead.
In the eyes of everyone who were either ignorant, surprised or excited, Qin Yun slowly opened the package.
It was a sandalwood box. Qin Yun carefully opened it and took a closer look. There was only a book lying inside.
The second prince frowned, and Shen Wansan breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Shutong, the Minister of Rites, asked coldly: "Your Highness, how can this object reveal who killed Master Liu?"
Qin Yundao: "Don't worry 1"
As he spoke, he peeled off the cover of the book, and there was a letter wrapped in brown paper inside.
Yanaguan looked surprised. She had read this book over and over again, hoping to find clues about her father's death.
But out of respect for his father, he never thought of peeling off the cover of the book. But how did Qin Yun know that there was something inside?
But it was obvious that everyone's focus at this time was on the content of the letter.
"Liu Guan Guan, don't you mind if I read it out?"
Liu Guanguan nodded slightly: "People's girls don't mind, people's girls only want the truth!"
Qin Yun nodded.
"In the first year of Qigong, when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, I was ordered by the late emperor to investigate the embankment bursting of the Luochuan waterway in Jiangdu. It has now become clear that Chen Shutong, the then magistrate of Luochuan, Jiangdu, enriched himself and embezzled 1.28 million taels of silver. The money was originally allocated by the imperial court to build embankments.”
"Chen Shutong is the criminal responsible for hundreds of thousands of people in Luochuan, Jiangdu! I am serving as an official in the Ministry of Punishment to pay my respects to the minister, but I see this beast rising rapidly, to no avail."
"I informed the King of Liang about this, and the King of Liang said, 'Shiqi, you are the Lord of the world, but the world doesn't think so. I can't help you with this matter!'"
"My heart aches. Even the King of Liang, who always hates evil and hates evil, cannot help the people of the world to seek justice, nor can he help the souls of Jiangdu find peace! I keep writing letters, but they are dismissed several times. Because of this matter, half of the ministers in the court have been implicated. Everyone is involved in it, officials interact with each other, when will they rest?"
"I was unwilling to accept it and submitted another letter. Unexpectedly, someone accused me of accepting bribes and being wrongly convicted! But in this case, I was deceived and killed my beloved for no reason! I feel so ashamed. My late emperor, I only have one chance to die. And Keep this innocence in the spring of the sixth year of Qi Gong."
…
After finishing their belief, everyone looked at Chen Shutong.
But Liu Guanguan sat slumped on the ground.
"Dad committed suicide?"
Qin Yun supported him on the chair.
He looked around: "Yes, Lord Liu Shiqi Liu committed suicide!"
"But almost everyone present is a murderer."
As soon as this statement came out, Qin Hao immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Nonsense, this prince was only four years old at that time, what does it have to do with me?"
Qin Yun sneered: "Who said it has nothing to do with you?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
The only person pointed out in the letter was Chen Shutong. Instead of attacking him, Qin Yun attacked the second prince, which left everyone confused.
Qin Hao's eyes were cold: "Qin Yun, tell me, if you can't tell me the reason today! I will go to the clan mansion to file a complaint against you."
Qin Yun said softly: "The people are rich and the people are rich, and you are well paid. Before hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangdu fell into the river and were flooded, how much taxes did they pay to the court every year!"
"As a prince, do you dare to say that the money for food and clothing does not include a penny from the people of Jiangdu Luochuan?"
Qin Hao's face darkened: "Then in your words, no one in the civil and military circles of this dynasty can escape, and you have something to do with it!"
Qin Yun shook his head: "What does this have to do with me?"
"You just said clearly..." Qin Hao pointed at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun sneered: "At that time, I was not born yet!"
Qin Yun's face turned red from holding back.
"You fool me!"
Qin Yun walked slowly to Qin Hao.
"That's right, I'm just playing tricks on you! To be precise, I'm playing monkey tricks for the adults here to see."
Qin Hao was furious, but at this time Chen Shutong spoke.
"Qin Yun, are you trying a case, or are you deliberately targeting the second prince?"
Qin Yun grinned, showing his white teeth.
"Both!"
"Bold, Qin Yun, you are avenging a private vendetta! Didn't I just withdraw the shares of Yuelai Bingshi? You actually treated me like this!" Qin Hao was about to stand up.
Qin Yun kicked him to the ground.
"Did you really just withdraw your shares?"
"You have known for a long time that Liu Guanguan is Liu Shiqi's daughter. You tried every means to get her, just to see if she had something in her hand. And that thing is what you want!"
Qin Hao's face darkened, but now he couldn't admit it even to death.
"That's nonsense!"
Qin Yun sneered: "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, I have my own witnesses."
"Come here, pass the small table!"
Small table?
Everyone was stunned, who could it be?
Not long after, Hong Haoxuan came to the hall carrying a wounded eunuch.
Qin Yun was shocked and said: "Little table, I summoned you truthfully, I will spare your life!"
The little table raised its head with difficulty: "I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all!"
"It's Butler Liao, who serves His Highness the Second Prince. He bribed me with eight hundred taels of silver. He asked me to monitor your movements at all times."
"At noon today, after learning that the prince had left the mansion, Housekeeper Liao asked me to inform Miss Liu that someone was causing trouble in the Yuelai Ice Room."
Qin Yun smiled: "My good second brother! I didn't expect that you would dare to bribe the people His Majesty sent me."
Qin Yun's expression changed: "No, he is a eunuch. I wonder, second brother, if you have a very good relationship with a certain eunuch in the palace!"
"Tell me, second brother, why do you want to get Liu Guan Guan?"
Qin Hao knew that instead of saying that he had never done this, it would be better to admit it openly.
"Yes, I did bribe the eunuchs in your house, but I just admire Miss Liu! As the oiran of Baihua House, I can't help but like her!"
Qin Yun's eyes turned cold.
"Second brother, it seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Forget it, put your concerns aside now, let us interrogate Mr. Chen!"
"Chen Shutong, I want to ask you why someone was sent to assassinate Liu Guanguan in Baihua Building that day? But because Liu Shiqi has evidence of your corruption and perversion of the law in his hands, are you afraid that you will fall into Liu Guanguan's hands?"
Chen Shutong, the old god, is here.
"Your Majesty Ninth Highness, what matters in investigating a case is evidence. When did I send someone to assassinate Liu Guanguan? I would also like to clarify that since I became an official, I have never received any so-called benefits!"
"Liu Shiqi was just unwilling to let his position be taken away from him and become the Minister of Rites. That's why he said such words. He is slandering!"
"Your Highness Ninth Prince, you are familiar with the law and you should understand what crime you should be punished for slandering a first-rank official of the imperial court?"
During the Great Xia Dynasty, Shangshu was the first grade.
Even at the level of Nimbus, Qin Yun is a third-class prince, that is, third grade.
Of course, the son of the emperor cannot be judged by his rank.
However, Chen Shutong insists on saying that Qin Yun slandered him. Once the matter is confirmed, it will be a minor crime!
Qin Yun sneered: "Slander?"
"Call the witness, Wang Mazi!"
