The grass-covered prison area is covered with moss and moss.
Inside the cell door, Zhong Mi was exhausted. She leaned on the torture rack and cried, begging: "Zi Qingjun, please let me go! I really don't know anything!"
Ma Bowen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, then curled his lips and said coldly: "You really have a tough mouth? You can still endure it now. Forget it, since you won't say it, there's no point in me continuing. ..."
He changed his voice and shouted to the jailer guarding the steps of the corridor: "This brother! Please ask Mr. Yue to come in!"
As soon as the soldier responded, Yue Muze appeared immediately, his iron face slumped the whole time. He walked to Ma Bowen and said with disgust: "I told you a long time ago that nothing can be found out from this kind of person. It's better to She had asked me to sign and stamp the closing documents earlier, and just push her out to deal with the case. She was the one who harmed Princess Dazhou! Can Your Majesty spare her?"
Ma Bowen blinked silently, was stunned for a moment, chuckled, raised his eyebrows and said: "What brother-in-law said is that my younger brother is ignorant and actually has good intentions in his heart to save her life. Who knew she was so heartless?" Know how to lift.”
Yue Muze's eyes turned cold and he said sarcastically: "She probably thinks that by taking the blame for the real culprit, she can save the lives of her whole family. That's a fool's errand! Since you and I have set up this trap to catch her, wouldn't we think of taking her family first?" What?"
"Ziqing, don't worry! With our friendship, I will make this case a solid case and punish the nine clans to avoid future troubles!"
Ma Bowen burst into tears and said, "Ziqing is here to thank Master Yue for the eleventh princess!"
Zhong Miyuan was already dying. When she heard this conversation, she couldn't help but raise her head and struggled hard. The chains on her body rattled. She stared with a pair of red eyes and shouted: "Master Yue! I heard it! Please resolve the case." The most just! Why is this unjust case being committed now because of my friendship with Ziqingjun?!"
Yue Muze raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Zhong Mi, and sneered: "Unjust case? Are you not sure whether you are unjust or not? Since you are unwilling to explain the culprit in this matter, why should I persist? Are you willing to go for him? If you die, I will take care of myself."
Zhong Mi shouted with a hoarse voice: "If you must say this, sir! It's okay to execute me, why do you want to harm my family?!"
Yue Muche's eyes became colder and darker. Ma Bowen was watching, but before he could react, he felt a gust of wind blowing in front of his eyes. When he looked closely, Lang Jun, who was standing next to him just now, had leaned towards the torture frame and pinched Zhong Mi with both hands. of the throat.
He wrote lightly: "You humble servant, you are so smart and charming, do you think I am trying to trick you? If you dare to kidnap and murder the princess of Zhou Dynasty, you have committed the capital crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. At this moment, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but you still have the guts to slander My officer?"
Zhong Mi was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, and soon her face turned red. She tried to stand on tiptoes, trying to raise her head and take a breath of fresh air, but Yue Muze did not give her this chance.
It wasn't until she was about to die that Yue Muze suddenly let go of his hand and let her fall weightless.
Zhong Mi fell from the torture frame, but was trapped by the iron chain. A large amount of cold air was poured into her chest, making her cough wildly.
Her face was livid and extremely weak and she said: "Master Yue, how should I put it... I am also a third-rank female officer in front of the imperial family, and I am a donor appointed by His Majesty. You and I are on the same level! Even if you commit a crime... If you want to kill me, don't you need to Report it to the inner palace?"
Yue Muze's long eyebrows furrowed and his face became serious: "The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty state that when the situation is urgent and the circumstances are serious, Dali Temple has the right to deal with criminals on the spot. Even if the minister ordered to commit such a serious crime, I can catch and kill him." ! I’m going to spare your life tonight, and I’m trying to persuade you to admit the mastermind behind the scenes. It’s the utmost kindness! If the matter comes to His Majesty, do you think you can survive until now?”
He picked up the document placed on the case beside him, brought it to Zhong Mi and showed it to her: "This is the confession of the criminal arrested tonight. They have already confessed you. I only need to seal the closing document, This case is a solid case."
"I thought that at that time, not only would His Majesty want your life, but the culprit you were desperately protecting would not want you alive. You and even your clansmen would not be able to escape!"
The coldness in Yue Muze's eyes completely panicked Zhong Mi. She knew that this person was ruthless and decisive, and he would enforce the law like a mountain. He would never show mercy just because she was recommended by Concubine Xiang. Moreover, there was now irrefutable evidence, and even sophistry could no longer be tolerated. There is no possibility of turning things around.
She can die, but her family...
Zhong Mi closed his eyes, things had come to this. Ma Boweng and Yue Muze assisted the concubine and put her whole family under house arrest. Her weakness was in the hands of others. What room for resistance was left?
After tonight, she was an abandoned child in the eyes of Concubine Xiang. Chonghua Palace would never cause trouble just to save her. Yue Muze was right. Concubine Xiang would like her to die immediately.
But...why? Will she end up in this situation? Can Ma Bowen alone put her in a desperate situation?
She didn't believe it.
Ma Bowen is a well-known playboy. He has been a playboy for more than ten years. How could he become so smart and alert overnight? Zhong Mi was vaguely aware that there was someone else behind this who was advising Ma Bowen and making suggestions, but she couldn't guess who it was...
After some thought, Zhong Mi closed his eyes and sighed, "Okay. I confess."
Seeing this, Ma Bowen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard Zhong Mi say tiredly: "The person who ordered me to do this was Yao Gongling from Chonghua Palace."
Ma Bowen regained his energy, his expression darkened, and he secretly pinched the edge of his sleeves: It was indeed Concubine Xiang who instigated it!
Yue Muze continued to ask: "Is it just Yao Tong who instigated it? No one else?"
Zhong Mi looked at him listlessly and said, "Master Yue? Do you have to ask me to tell you the name of the person from Chonghua Palace before you give up? How dare you order me to do such a thing without the permission of Yao Gongling?"
Yue Muze: "Then besides you, who else in the palace was involved in this matter?"
Zhong Mi said: "At most... Ye Jingting Han Gong Ling helped me a little bit, but he didn't know anything. He just helped me find a few reliable people. As for the few small yellow sects working under me, They didn’t know what was going on, they were just doing what they were told.”
Ma Bowen listened and sarcastically said: "At this time, you haven't bitten anyone else?"
Zhong Mi glanced at him coldly: "I'm about to die, what's the point of dragging innocent people into the water?"
Ma Bowen was too lazy to continue talking to her, turned around and left the prison.
It didn't take long for Yue Muze to chase him out with his sealed confession. Ma Bowen immediately patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother-in-law is so good at acting, I almost thought you really wanted to do this favor!"
