C220 thoroughly investigating the cause of death(2)

At the same time as Xiao Yi Xiu returned, a group of soldiers entered the Residence of Mo King. They declared that they would thoroughly investigate Ming Zhu's death and that everyone involved would be escorted to the Ministry of Justice for questioning.

He said that Xin Yingning, the president of the Ministry of Justice, would personally give the order and would personally preside over the trial.

Because the deceased was born in the Prince Mo Residence, the people involved in the case also had special identities. Therefore, the Deputy Minister of Justice, Zhang Rui, personally led the troops to collect the deceased.

Zhang Rui was a favorite student of Xin Yingning. He was promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice at such a young age. Naturally, he was promoted by Xin Yingning. Even though he was part of the empress's faction, he was tactful and didn't easily offend anyone with a smile on his face.

With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands in a greeting to Xiao Yi, explaining his purpose of coming here. He also repeatedly requested for Xiao Yi's forgiveness.

Xiao Yixiu also wore an official smile on his face as he said a few words of courtesy. Then, he saw a group of soldiers escorting a group of crying women over. Some of them were obedient, some were stern, and some were crying for their highness.

Other than the crazy Wu Yun, there was also Yu Lan Xuan's Cheng Ying Zhi, Hui Qiao, Xing'er, Yu Mu Xuan's Zhou Zhen, Xiao Chan and Rui Zhu, and Yue Wu Xuan's Jia Bi Ruo, Yun'er and a few servants who had gone out that night to search for and witness Ming Zhu's death.

"This is …" Xiao Yixiu also didn't expect there to be so many people involved.

"Everyone related to Ming Zhu's death that night must be invited to the Ministry of Justice for a few questions. It is not difficult, it is just a formality. Prince Mo also knows the rules. There's no need to make it difficult for this official, right? " Zhang Rui smiled in a very humble manner and bowed repeatedly.

"Even if Madam Jia was a witness, I still have a few words to ask. Madam Zhou was sleeping at that time, how did she get involved?"

"The two courtyards are next to each other. If there are any movements, perhaps we might be able to hear about them." Inviting Madame Zhou would only be asking a few questions as a witness. "

Zhou Zhen, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "Prince, do not worry. I was sleeping in my own room, how could anything happen to me? Since the murder case was committed in the King's Manor, it should be reasonable for them to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice in their investigation. "

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded and looked at Zhang Rui. "I, the wangfei, and the wangfei were also in the house that night. Would you like to go with them for questioning?"

His question was impolite, and his eyes were cold.

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, and then he heard his displeasure. He let out a few hollow laughs. "There's no need for that. The prince was in the front courtyard with his wife that night, which is quite a distance away from where the incident happened. The princess was unfortunate and had a small birth …" This official is very sad. "

"What about the Second Prince? Minister Xin did not give any special orders, but the Second Prince is also someone from the Prince's Mansion.

Zhang Rui was extremely embarrassed. "The Second Prince has already …" "Cough, cough."

"Vice Minister Zhang has told Minister Ying that Second Imperial Brother has received treatment in my residence and is currently in quite a good condition."

"Yes, yes. This official will take his leave." Zhang Rui could only retreat.

After Xiao Yixiu returned to his room, Gu Qingli came out from behind the curtain and asked softly, "What does Xinying want to do?"

"It most likely has something to do with Second Imperial Brother."

"Actually, it would be even more disadvantageous for Xiao Yibei if he were to act rashly right now."

Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head lightly, "That's not what he was thinking. He thought that I would do some harm to Xiao Yi Bei. In his eyes, am I not the same type of person as Xiao Yi Jin and Xiao Yi Mo? "

When Zhou Zhen was arraigned for the third time, she faced Xin Yingning alone.

This was the first time she had met this minister of war. He was in his forties and had thick eyebrows on his square face. Just by looking at his appearance, he looked like a queen.

She saluted respectfully and knelt to hear the inquest, but was given a seat. In any case, she was currently the wife of the Mo King, and no one had ever used a criminal law against her.

Xin Yining studied her, then said, "Madame was indeed asleep that night? You didn't hear anything at all? "

"Yes." Zhou Zhen felt that she had said all that she wanted to say, and there was nothing new about it.

How could someone who had slept so soundly that night possibly have heard anything?

Of course, the truth was that she only had her eyes closed, so she could clearly hear every sound.

"Does Madame think that anyone is suspicious or special since she entered the palace?"

Zhou really wanted to say, "Anything suspicious? Something special..." The Second Prince was also counted as one? He is not someone from the Palace, and there seems to be something wrong with his actions. With his current state of mind, it is impossible for him to have anything to do with this matter. "

Xin Yingning's face sank, "Who let you guess randomly?"

"Yes, I made a slip of the tongue."

Xin Yingning thought about it and asked again, "Have you come into contact with the Second Prince?"

"At a close distance, I only watched it once. I even watched it from afar a few times."

"It's said that he was involved with the concubine's miscarriage?"

"Lord Xin should be investigating Mingzhu's case, and not the case of the side concubine, right?"

"Sharp teeth!" "I'm just concerned about it for a moment."

"According to Jin Shu, the closer the Second Prince is to the full moon, the more unstable he becomes, especially at night …" That night, the moon was already very full, and it just so happened that Imperial Concubine Gu went to see him while the brocade tree was being fed, that's why there was an accident. "

"Even after taking so many pills, you still haven't recovered?"

Zhou Zhen nodded. She did not believe that losing one's mind would improve after taking medicine.

After Zhou Zhen was brought down, she was released back to the residence. After all, her testimony was the smallest and she did not have any proof of her presence.

On the other hand, Wu Yu had gone completely crazy. Several famous doctors shook their heads after they saw her. There was nothing useful to prove that. The second person was released to the palace, Rui Zhu was also excluded.

The third person Xin Yingning asked was Gabriella, who was also sitting across from him, calm and composed, asking and answering questions without missing a beat.

Xin Yingning looked at her calm face and could not help but shiver. The wives of Prince Mo's Mansion were becoming more and more difficult to deal with than the last. Apart from those who had gone crazy, the suspicious concubine Li Yue, the newly released Madame Zhou, and the Lady Jia from the Mo Estate were not easy to deal with.

"What more do you want to ask, Sir Xin?" Gabrielle smiled at him.

Xin Yingning calmly raised her hand and someone came in. They threw a few things in front of her and then, seeing her frozen smile, said indifferently, "Madam Jia, with your wisdom, you should understand."

"I don't understand. Is Master Xin planning on framing me?"

Xin Yingning smiled slightly, "Madam Jia, you have a serious mind. As the Lady of a Monarch, as well as the daughter of the Minister of Rites, I should be extremely careful in this case and not make any mistakes."

Gabriella looked at him. Her frozen smile melted into a mocking sneer.

On the day of the public hearing between the Ministry of Justice and the justice courts, the final suspect was Cheng Yingzhi and Hui Qiji. But for some reason, the public trial was unexpectedly brought forward by a day.
