my wife is mulan

The iron lock of the cell door was opened, and the sound of the iron chain being pulled rattled, and the man in black pushed open the cell door and walked in.

The sound woke Jing Min up, he opened his eyes and saw the man in black.

"I did as you said!" Jing Min said.

The man in black said, "I know!"

"What are you going to do this time?"

"kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, the bright sword light flashed past, and Jing Min was speechless before he could even make a sound.

As if the sword had never been drawn before, the man in black turned and left without hesitation.

Jing Min's body fell to the ground with a plop.

In the early morning, Zhao Junsheng changed his clothes after breakfast and prepared to go to Qinzheng Hall.

Hua Mulan called to him: "Wait!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped and turned to look at her, Wan Yutong was feeding the child, so he also looked over at this moment.

Hua Mulan hesitated for a moment, walked up to Zhao Junsheng and asked, "I heard that you ordered the boss to confine you to the East Palace?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "That's right, he is suspected of defying the will to protect the Sogdian merchants and colluding with them in smuggling, which harmed Daqian's interests. This case is currently under investigation. I have ordered the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Yushitai to form a joint trial. , the youngest will serve as the chief interrogator!"

Hua Mulan was a little angry: "The boss defied your will to protect the Sogdian merchants, and even colluded with them in smuggling, do you believe it?"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "As his grandpa, I don't want to believe that he would do this; as an emperor, whether I believe it or not, I have to investigate this case carefully!"

"Just check, I don't believe my son would do such a thing, but why did you order him to be banned from the East Palace? Do you know that you will send a message to the court, officials from all over the country, and those officials in the frontier?" What kind of news? Everyone thinks that the crown prince has fallen out of favor, and then the ministers will deliberately keep a distance from the boss. If someone caught the boss in the past, this time is a good opportunity to add insult to injury!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Don't you think the boss's brain should cool down? Also, if the boss and the third child compete for the succession to the throne, which side will you stand on?"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he turned and left.

"I don't stand on either side, they are all my sons!"

Hua Mulan was stunned after saying this, what?Could it be that the third child was playing tricks this time?No way, the relationship between the boss and the third brother has always been very good!

Hua Mulan turned around and went to sit next to Wan Yutong, "You heard it just now, did he mean that the boss and the third child are now fighting for the throne?"

Wan Yutong was surprised and said: "No way? My husband is in his prime, why did the boss and the third child start to do it so early? When the question of the ownership of the succession to the throne is about to be put on the table, they don't know that they have to wait until the year of the monkey. How can they now?" Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Hua Mulan was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "The children are all grown up and have their own thoughts and ideas. As a mother, I don't know that they are gone. I just hope that they will not fight each other for the right to inherit the throne." ".

When Zhao Junsheng came to Qinzheng Hall, the old eunuch Kang Yide was already waiting at the gate of the hall, and he asked, "Have all the memorials for today been delivered?"

Kang Yide bowed; "Go back to Your Majesty, the time has not yet come!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, walked into the main hall, and asked as he walked: "How is the trial of Jing Min by the Third Division going? What progress have they made in the past few days?"

"Your Majesty, the investigation is still in progress for the past few days. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has dispatched another officer named Sun Wei to conduct the third investigation. The object of this investigation is the people around Jing Min and Shi Dayou. Let's see. Do those attendants, guards, servants, and maids know the relevant clues; in addition, Yushitai is also investigating the arrests and torture personnel who followed Huang Dezhong to handle the case, to see if there are any suspicions of enticing confessions, coercing, and beating into tricks!"

At this time, a young eunuch walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Kang Yide's ear. After hearing this, Huang Dezhong waved to the little eunuch to let him back down.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that Jing Min was killed in prison last night, and Huang Dezhong, who originally investigated the case, hanged himself in fear of crime, and both of them were locked in the A-name prison area, between their cells. Only a few cells away!"

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, and then he was furious: "What? Someone dared to commit murder in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is lawless. This is provoking the court's judicial office! Kang Yide, send someone to tell the King of Shu that I want him to And the head of the Sanju Department reported the relevant case to me as quickly as possible!"

"promise!"

An hour later, Zhao Ping and the officials in charge of the relevant cases from the Three Law Departments went to the palace together to report the relevant cases.

"Your Majesty, I will see you!" Several people sang and saluted.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Who are you going to tell me about the specific details of the deaths of Jing Min and Huang Dezhong? I ordered you three divisions to jointly investigate and try the case. It's only been a few days since you failed to find out the case, but let the two key people The prisoner is dead, should you give me an explanation, huh?"

Zhao Ping looked at the person next to him and said, "Sun Wei, come and report the relevant case to the emperor!"

"promise!"

Sun Wei, the head of the criminal department, stood up and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I have led people to investigate two places. In Jing Min's cell, after investigation, I found that he was killed with a sword. Jing Min even resisted and avoided it." There is no chance! The wound is on the forehead and between the eyebrows, and a sword pierces through the head! As far as I know, although Jing Min is an official, he has martial arts, and the martial arts are very strong, except for the fatal wound between the eyebrows. In addition, apart from the previous torture wounds, no other sword wounds were found on Jing Min's body, which means that he was killed by the murderer's sword, which shows that the murderer's sword skills are very good! No murderer was found at the scene any other leads!"

"After investigating Huang Dezhong's cell, Chen et al. found that Huang Dezhong hanged himself to death. There was no sign of homicide. The thing used for hanging himself was his own belt. Chen et al. also found a copy written in blood on the cloth in the cell. In the suicide note on the film, Huang Dezhong said in the suicide note that he was deeply favored by the emperor but committed a crime of enforcing the law.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while after listening, and asked, "When did these two people die?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Huang Dezhong hanged himself about a quarter after midnight, and Jing Min was killed around the time of Chou. According to my inspection, Huang Dezhong should die before Jing Min!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "How did the murderer get into the prison? Have you asked other prisoners in the prison if anyone has witnessed the murderer?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the ministers are currently sending people to interrogate the prisoners, and have not yet obtained relevant clues! When the murderer entered the prison, he killed five guards outside, and later took the key from the sleeping cell leader to open several doors. Iron Gate and Prison Gate killed Jing Min together, and from the death of these guards, it can be seen that the murderer should be a person with very strong swordsmanship!"

Zhao Junsheng was furious: "It's so audacious to enter and exit the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs freely. Do I think the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is a vegetable garden? I don't understand why the murderer can enter the prison so easily to kill people. Are the guards a bunch of drunks and rice bags?" According to my order, the warden has seriously neglected his duty and neglected his duties, and all the cell leaders and jailers who were on duty last night will be dismissed and sent to prison, waiting to be punished!"

"In addition, let me investigate. I really want to know who the murderer is, so unscrupulous! This case happened in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and it is related to the case investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I will hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation!"

Li Yuande, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and agreed: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Dali Temple Minister Wang De stood up and saluted and asked: "Your Majesty, now Jing Min, the main suspect in the Jing Min case, is dead. He confessed that he was instructed by the prince to protect Sogdian businessmen and colluded with them in smuggling matters. Therefore, his confession is no longer credible, although he has provided letters as evidence, but because of the death of this person and the suspicion of being tortured again, the evidence against the crown prince is somewhat insufficient!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and asked, "How is your investigation of people around Jing Min and Shi Dayou in the past few days? Have you found any other clues?"

Sun Wei replied: "Responding to Your Majesty, I have investigated these people, and they don't know whether the prince is related to this matter, but Huang Dezhong's subordinates confessed that Huang Dezhong did lure and even threaten Jing Min and Shi Dayou! "

Zhao Junsheng considered Wang De and Li Yuande and asked, "What are your views and opinions?"

Li Yuande said: "Your Majesty, I don't think the prince is involved in this matter, nor is he the instigator behind the Jingmin case. It is obvious that someone wants to implicate the prince in this case. Those letters and Jingmin and Shi Dayou's first confessions They are all means used by someone to deal with the prince!"

Zhao Junsheng retorted: "Jing Min was killed, how do you explain this? If someone wanted to frame the prince, why did you kill Jing Min, the person who is the most unfavorable to the prince?"

Wang De saluted and said: "Your Majesty, what is the explanation for Huang Dezhong's death? He tortured Jing Min and Shi Dayou and induced confessions. I don't think he would do this for no reason. According to the investigation, this person is the same as Jing Min and Shi Dayou. Dayou has no such grudges, he must have been ordered to do so, his death just prevents us from tracking down the instigator behind the scenes, I suspect that there is something strange about this person's death, even if he really committed suicide, I'm afraid he has no other choice! I think the crown prince should be lifted from the ban, and almost all the clues in this case have been cut off because of the death of Jing Min and Huang Dezhong, and I can't find any clues if I want to continue the investigation!"

Zhao Junsheng stroked his chin, weighed it and said: "I have to think about it, you all should step down!"

Everyone saluted together: "The minister waits to leave!"

Chapter 1104

After the ministers left, Zhao Junsheng sat behind the case and meditated. He always felt that this matter was a bit abnormal. The third child must be suspected of instigating behind the scenes in this matter, but he did not show his feet.

The killing of Jing Min seems to be beneficial to the prince, but in fact the prince is suspected of murdering and silencing his mouth. If the prince did not do it, the prince will suspect that the king of Shu sent someone to do it, and use it to frame him. If the mutual suspicion between the prince and the king of Shu is broken, the conflict will become bigger and bigger.
