"This Prince is here to help you."
When Na Tuo said this, Li Cheng was deeply suspicious.
He was also confused!
"Help me with what?"
"Didn't you want to overturn the case?"
"That's right! I'm here to ask the Ministry of Justice to reopen Du Mubai's case. "
"That's why this Prince is here to help you! Now that Lord Huang is not here, no one can make decisions in the Ministry of Justice, but this Prince can. " Na Tuo's face was full of arrogance. He extended his hand towards Li Cheng, "Show this Prince the case file you mentioned."
Li Cheng paused. He really didn't know whether to believe him or not.
This person was a friend of his enemy! Na Tuo saw that Li Cheng was unwilling to let go of the case file, so he took two steps closer and whispered in Li Cheng's ear, "Li Cheng, you know the relationship between this Prince and your Li family. Even if there is some unhappiness between us, it has nothing to do with this case. Now that this Prince is helping you, it is also helping your father.
You have to think this through. "
Li Cheng's brows tightened.
He swallowed dryly.
He didn't say anything.
Na Tuo said again, "Why do you have to compete with this Prince?"
There was no need for him to compete with this Prince.
After thinking about it, he handed the case file to Na Tuo.
Na Tuo took the case file and turned to look at the officials who were still kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand, "Get up."
The officials stood up one by one.
Then, Na Tuo opened the case file and looked through it.
The more he read, the stronger the surprise and admiration in his eyes. Finally, he looked at Li Cheng meaningfully.
He thought to himself, 'This kid actually wrote the case file in such an orderly manner. The content is smooth, and every reason for the appeal to overturn the case is just right. There is not a single flaw or delay.
Even if this case file was presented to the King of Huyi, the King of Huyi would not be able to find any fault and would definitely order for Du Mubai's case to be reopened. '
Li Cheng seemed to see the admiration in Na Tuo's eyes. He didn't want to take credit for this, so he directly said, "This was written by the Teacher Ji I invited."
Then, Na Tuo immediately revealed a look of 'I said you don't have this ability'.
He then said, "This Prince sees that the handwriting is so clean and neat. It really doesn't look like it was written by you."
"…" Li Cheng was speechless.
How bad was his handwriting?
How dirty and tidy was that?
Putting aside all of this, Li Cheng did not want to continue arguing with him on this matter, so he said, "Then I ask your highness to quickly get down to business."
"You don't have to remind me." Turning around, Tuo said to the officials of the Ministry of Justice, "Before I came, I already knew about this case. Now, the contents of this case are enough to prove that Du Mubai was killed! The evidence is conclusive, so it is reasonable to reopen the case and thoroughly investigate it. "
The official of the Ministry of Justice said, "Third Prince, this case …"
"This King has already decided to reopen the books. There's no need for you to say anything else."
"But …"
"Aren't your Lord Huang and Lord Zhong sick? Is it because they're sick that the case has to be delayed? "Na Tuo questioned.
The official of the Ministry of Justice had nothing to say. He looked at his colleagues and wanted to ask them what they thought.
None of his colleagues dared to oppose the Third Prince.
Each of them took a few steps back, not daring to speak. All of this was seen by Na Tuo. He sneered, "This case caused a sensation in Gaoding that year. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Justice and the other departments should pay more attention to this case. You should not let go of any details. However, you closed the case hastily and waited for six years for the city department to appeal and overturn the case.
What would happen to the dignity of the six departments? What you can do now is to cooperate with Lord Li of the city department to investigate this case as soon as possible. You can atone for your crimes by performing meritorious deeds to reduce your dereliction of duty. Otherwise, even if I don't pursue this matter, the King will punish you. "
Everyone trembled.
They all knelt on the ground.
"Yes, we will assist Lord Li in investigating this case as soon as possible."
Everyone's voice was very firm.
After all, the Third Prince had said that they should atone for their crimes by performing meritorious deeds.
This was tantamount to giving them a chance.
When Li Cheng saw that they had become so obedient under Tuo's intimidation, he was angry in his heart. He was angry that those officials did not put him in their eyes, but he was also grateful. If it wasn't for Tuo, Lord Huang and the important people might have to take a leave overnight, and this case would probably really have to be delayed.
After the matter was settled, Li Cheng and Na Tuo left the Ministry of Justice together.
The two of them walked side by side.
There were two carriages parked outside the door.
One was Li Cheng's, and the other was Na Tuo's.
Although Li Cheng was a bully, he was still a person who could distinguish between kindness and hatred.
He stopped at the door of the Ministry of Justice.
He looked at Na Tuo and said, "Thank you."
Tuo smiled and let out a breath of cold air. "You don't need to thank me. In short, remember that I'm not helping you this time. I'm helping your father. After all, your father has been helping me in the court for many years. It's only right that I help you today!"
"No matter what, you've helped me, so I naturally owe you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know." "Alright, I'll remember your words!" Tuo patted his arm and said seriously, "Actually, this prince also knows about the matter between you and Shi Lin. He has a gentle personality and is not good at quarreling with others. This prince also knows that you have a straightforward personality, so let the past be the past. Don't keep it in your heart.
。”
He was acting as a peacemaker!
Last time, Li Cheng asked Gong Shilin to help him write a letter so that he could openly investigate the Ministry of Revenue with Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong. At that time, he said that if Gong Shilin was willing to help him, he would forget all the unpleasantness from that year.
But the problem was that Gong Shilin had not given him an answer.
So …
Li Cheng said directly, "Whether I can shake hands with him or not, it depends on him."
'Depends on him?'
Na Tuo did not think too much about it. He looked at the heavy snow outside and said, "Alright, I need to go to the palace now and report what happened just now to Imperial Father. I don't want someone to sue me for personal use."
Of course, he was referring to the Second Prince, Na Yan.
He had indeed used his status as a prince to pressure the Ministry of Justice officials to reopen the case file.
As the saying goes, one should not meddle in politics if one is not in a position. This matter was between the Ministry of Justice and the various departments, and had nothing to do with Na Tuo. His interference would naturally cause someone to make a big fuss. Thus, he had to go to the palace first and explain the matter to prevent future troubles.
Li Cheng watched him leave, then he got on his carriage and left.
Little did he know …
Not long after he left, the case file was sent to the Minister of Justice, Lord Huang's mansion.
