Chapter 557: Terrifying Thoughts

"Your Majesty, this case cannot be handed over to the Secret Service."

When no one in the court spoke, the Minister of Rites stood up and said in a deep voice: "Li County Bo has a close relationship with the woman involved in the case, and Li County Bo is a member of the Secret Service. In order to avoid suspicion, please transfer the case back to the Ministry of Justice. I believe that the Ministry of Justice will definitely give me justice."

As the father of the victim in this case, he is also the most qualified to speak.

Emperor Jing looked at Li Yi and asked, "Is this true?"

"The Secret Service is handling the case, and I did not intervene. The Secret Service is your Majesty's Secret Service. Suspecting the Secret Service is to doubt your Majesty." Li Yi turned his eyes and asked, "Are you doubting your Majesty's fairness?"

"I dare not." The Minister of Rites knew that he had just said something wrong, and immediately bowed and said.

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "In this case, the case will be transferred to the Dali Temple for handling, and Liu Yishou will assist in the investigation. Where is the Dali Temple Minister?"

"I am here." A middle-aged man among the court officials immediately stood up.

Li Yi frowned slightly. This case was definitely not committed by Zeng Zuimo and the others. The reason why he rescued them from the Ministry of Justice was that he was worried that they would suffer during the trial. If they were transferred to the Dali Temple, everything would be out of control.

Someone touched his shoulder, Li Xuan turned his head and whispered, "Don't worry, Dali Temple Minister, our people, I guarantee that your Miss Zeng will live there more comfortably than in the Secret Service Department."

The reputation of the Ministry of Justice was really bad, and the Secret Service Department could not stop everyone from talking, so there was no objection to transferring the case to the Dali Temple.

Even the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not speak again.

Emperor Jing said to the eunuchs below: "Where is Liu Yishou? Ask him to transfer the case to the Dali Temple immediately and assist the Dali Temple in handling the case."

As soon as the voice fell, another eunuch came in from the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu Yishou wants to see you!"

Today's court is really strange. Your Majesty summons whoever comes, and the efficiency is amazing. Emperor Jing was also stunned for a moment, but then waved his hand and said, "Summon!"

"See your majesty!" After Liu Yishou came in, he bowed first.

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You heard what I said just now. I order you to assist the Dali Temple and solve this case within three days..."

"Ahem, your majesty..." Liu Yishou raised his head, looked at Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, this case has been solved, so there is no need to bother the Dali Temple anymore."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the court.

It has only been a few hours since the crime was committed, and it has been less than an hour since the Secret Service took the person away from the Ministry of Justice. The case was solved in such a short time. Is Liu Yanwang of the Secret Service really that terrifying?

Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Justice was also stunned when he heard this, and an unbelievable look appeared on his face. Just now in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, they had narrowed down the scope of the murderer to a very small extent, and almost locked it on the three women. Could it be that the Secret Service directly convicted the woman?

Knowing that the Secret Service would not do this, he was shocked in his heart.

"Who is the murderer?" After Emperor Jing came to his senses, he immediately looked at him and asked.

Liu Yishou smiled and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Rongchen will tell you slowly."

Li Xuan touched Li Yi again and whispered, "Your subordinate has taught well."

He has taught him everything he should teach. It must be said that Liu Yishou has never let him down in some things.

"Go ahead." Emperor Jing was interested at this time.

"Before that, please take a look at the interrogation files of the Ministry of Justice this morning." Liu Yishou took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch walked up and handed the paper to Emperor Jing. After looking at it for a moment, his brows frowned: "Without witnesses and physical evidence, how can there be conclusive evidence? I have already issued an order that the Ministry of Justice and local authorities should not easily use torture when handling cases. Is this how your Ministry of Justice handles cases?"

Many court officials looked at each other. His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Ministry of Justice. Since Liu Yishou was in charge of the old cases of the Ministry of Justice, various problems of the Ministry of Justice have been exposed. According to His Majesty's temperament, after this incident, I am afraid that some measures will be taken against the Ministry of Justice.

The face of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice changed, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, that woman is contemptuous of the court, and all the evidence points to those women. If we don't use torture, it will be difficult to proceed with the case."

"Hehe..." Liu Yishou looked at him and said, "Minister Zhao, remember what you said now."

Minister Zhao sounded very uncomfortable with the words "hehe", but at this moment, he could only swallow his anger.

At this time, Liu Yishou has continued to speak: "This morning, the son of Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Rites died in his own home. After the coroner's examination, the conclusion was that he died of poisoning. After many witnesses testified, it was roughly confirmed that Mr. Chen was poisoned at 3:00 p.m. yesterday. What was Mr. Chen doing at 3:00 p.m.?"

"He just drank and went to Yangliu Lane to find a girl named Zeng. According to the servants of the Chen family, Mr. Chen has been entangled with this girl Zeng these days and wants to take her as a concubine, but the girl Zeng is unwilling to do so. Yesterday, Mr. Chen was rude after drinking and had some conflicts with Miss Zeng and her friends. The time when he was poisoned was probably at this time. The Ministry of Justice inferred from this that Miss Zeng and her friends were the murderers of the poisoning, which is not unreasonable."

After Liu Yishou finished speaking, he smiled again and said, "However, you may not know that the last time Young Master Qin and Prince Duanyang clashed with the princess, the root cause was actually Miss Zeng."

When Liu Yishou said this, everyone naturally remembered the last big incident.

For this reason, the children of many ministers in the DPRK are still lying on their beds recovering from their injuries.

"Little Duke Qin was teasing a good family in Kyoto and was seriously injured by a passing knight. The girl he wanted to tease was Miss Zeng. The reason why he hit the princess was because they saw Miss Zeng in Zuiyue Tower and wanted revenge... ... However, they did not know where Her Royal Highness the Princess was at that time, but they suffered a big loss.

After investigation by the Secret Intelligence Department, there are indeed some idle people waiting to appear next to Miss Zeng these days..."

At this moment, Liu Yishou no longer needed to continue talking.

Who is not an old fox here? How dare an ordinary woman dare to poison the son of a court official, and after poisoning, act as if nothing happened...

At this moment, many people have already smelled the smell of conspiracy.

It was unbelievable that an ordinary woman had the courage to poison the son of a minister of etiquette, Wai Lang. However, after Liu Yishou reminded them, everyone discovered that this woman did not seem to be an ordinary woman. An ordinary woman had no ability. Get into grudges with these people.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this woman seems to have some relationship with Chang'an County Bo Li Yi. If the scope is expanded, the person who has enmity with Li County Bo...

After what happened last time, I am afraid that Duanyang County Prince, Qin Xiaogong, and many dandies in Kyoto all hate them to the core. And the one who hates County Uncle Li the most these days is none other than the King of Shu...

The Ministry of Punishment's examination of the case was so sloppy that even they, let alone Your Majesty, couldn't understand it. There might be something fishy in it...

It is absolutely impossible for the juniors, even Qin Yu, to be bold enough to plan to kill the son of a court official and influence the dignified minister of the Ministry of Justice, so who could it be?

It’s scary to think about it...

At this point, many people no longer dare to think about this matter anymore, I am afraid it will be a big deal.

The face of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, suddenly darkened. The pain of losing his son indeed filled his heart with anger, but it did not mean that he had lost all his sanity. Thinking about it, what courage does a mere folk woman have? Do such a thing?

"Are you saying that someone deliberately framed you?" At this time, the Minister of Punishment raised his eyebrows and asked: "But except for the three women, no one was present at the time. Could it be said that there are still people who can poison from a distance, and then Are you going to frame them again?"

Liu Yishou looked at him and asked, "Shilang Zhao, are you sure that no one else was present at the time?"
