"Your Highness, you..."

Shen Qin really wanted to say to him, have you made enough trouble? When the words came to his lips, he changed it to.

"Stop teasing him."

Li Yunxi brought his face close to Shen Qin, looked at him, and smiled playfully.

"Jealous?"

I don’t know who is jealous.

But Shen Qin didn't dare to refute him. She had experienced the unpleasant consequences of offending this guy in the past few days, so she had no choice but to coax.

"I made a Chinese medicine sleeping pillow for Mrs. Lin, and also made one for His Highness. It will be better to sleep on the pillow. I wonder if His Highness needs it."

Li Yunxi was a little surprised, and the smile on his mouth became warmer.

"Bring it over and show it to me. It's too ugly. I don't want it."

Shen Qin brought the square pillow over. The fabric was comfortable and soft, and it was inlaid with magnets. The yellow silk was embroidered with bamboo leaves, and there was a burst of medicinal fragrance inside.

Li Yunxi pointed to the delicately embroidered bamboo leaves.

"Did you embroider this yourself?"

Shen Qin said,

"I know how to draw, it's not difficult."

Li Yunxi smiled. "You are such a good wife and mother, wouldn't it be a pity to be a widow?"

Shen Qin: "..."

Li Yunxi hugged her lovingly and said arrogantly.

"Although the quality is average, it would be a waste to throw it away, so I will keep it for now."

Shen Qin: "..."

Li Yunxi seemed to be in a better mood. He specially selected the teacup that Shen Qin drank from, took a sip and said.

"As long as Wang Jinghui is convicted, we can take the opportunity to investigate the evidence that Wang Jun and the Ministry of Justice bent the law for personal gain. By the way, the second son of the Wang family didn't burn the dyed clothes."

Shen Qin's eyes lit up,

"Your Highness, please help me find out where he bought the clothes he was wearing on the day of the incident and what style they were. I already have an idea."

"It's simple."

Li Yunxi agreed, holding the pillow while stroking it.

"However, there has been a change in the martial arts competition. The Liao Dynasty envoy heard about it and also applied to participate in the martial arts competition. In order to establish the country's military prestige, my father agreed. The Khitan people advocate violence. As a result, this martial arts competition will I'm afraid there are many variables, so you can ask General Chen to come over, I want to try his martial arts."

Shen Qin had a black line on his head and thought to himself: May you be blessed, General Chen.

……

……

Shen Qin entered the crime scene and searched carefully, and finally found two ivory carved buttons among the ashes in the corner.

Because it had been smoked black, it was ignored at the time.

After Zhang Tian confirmed, the two buttons did not belong to him or Liang Jing.

With the help of King Xi, Shen Qin found the clothing store where Wang Jingyao customized clothes. The owner confirmed that the button was specially made by their shop, but it was only used on five expensive clothes.

One of the buyers was Wang Jingyao. The remaining four buyers all kept the clothes and the ivory buttons on them intact. Only Wang Jingyao could not take out the clothes.

As Shen Qin expected, Wang Jingyao saw that the clothes were so eye-catching that he took them off and threw them into the fire, but he forgot that there were buttons on the clothes that could not be burned.

In the face of this irrefutable evidence, Wang Jingyao had to plead guilty.

However, he denied that he knocked Liang Jing to death.

Wang Jinghui said aggrievedly,

"I didn't use much force, why did she die?"

Shen Qin said coldly,

"Indeed, if you had sent her to the hospital in time and stopped torturing her, she might have survived. It was your animalistic behavior that jointly caused her death, and no one can escape responsibility."

Wang Jingyao was speechless.

Wang Jingwen was afraid that his brother would not be used to eating in prison, so he insisted on delivering meals to his brother every day, but he was scolded by his brother every time.

After Wang Jinghui confessed, Lord Mu and the young minister of Dali Temple sued the Ministry of Punishment for hiding evidence. Wang Jun used his family status to threaten witnesses and tried to falsify the cause of Liang Jing's death, among other crimes.

Emperor Kang ordered a strict investigation.

Through the investigation of the Ministry of Punishment personnel, Dali Temple found the hidden evidence, including the belt buckle left at the scene, the copper pot used in the crime, and some gold and silver jewelry that could identify the female corpse.

These evidences completely established the case as a solid case.

Li Yi, the Minister of Punishment, was eventually found out. He did not dare to mention the prince and only said that Wang Jun instigated him.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple and others reported the investigation results to Emperor Kangxi, and finally the imperial edict was issued.

Li Yi was demoted to Minister of War and fined three years' salary.

Wang Jun was demoted to the rank of Councilor (Deputy Prime Minister) and fined five years' salary.

Ma Shuai's son wanted to poison Shen Qin's family, committing a heinous crime and was sentenced to death. Ma Shuai was blamed and dismissed from his post.

Wang Jun's son Wang Jingyao, as the principal culprit, was sentenced to be executed by the Queen of Autumn.

In order to survive, Liu Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, confessed that his father had collected stolen money through construction projects, engaged in malpractice for personal gain, and concealed accounts.

He was eventually sentenced to exile with his father.

Before this was over, the Minister of Industry also confessed that he gave private money to the internal affairs office under the jurisdiction of the prince every year. Emperor Kang was completely unaware of it. Long Yan was furious and fined the prince to hand over all the money and banned him for seven days to think about his fault.

As a result, a large number of personnel from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works were replaced, leaving them leaderless and without suitable personnel.

Emperor Kangdi asked Li Si to temporarily take charge of the Criminal Department, and Li Yunxi to temporarily take charge of the Work Department.

This can also be regarded as a check and balance technique.

As a result, turmoil arose in the court, and the power of the princelings was greatly weakened.

However, Li Si, who was already very popular, has experienced a surge in power.

Since then, Wang Jun and Shen Qin have completely become enemies.
