"Your Majesty, this case cannot be handed over to the Secret Intelligence Department."
When all the officials were silent, the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li has a close relationship with the woman involved in the case, and Mr. Li is a member of the Secret Intelligence Department. In order to avoid suspicion, Your Majesty, please hand the case back to the Ministry of Justice. I believe that the Ministry of Justice will give me justice."
As the father of the victim in the case, he was the most qualified to speak.
Emperor Jing looked at Li Yi and asked, "Is it true?"
"The Secret Intelligence Department is handling the case. I did not intervene. The Secret Intelligence Department is His Majesty's Secret Intelligence Department. Doubting the Secret Intelligence Department is doubting His Majesty." Li Yi turned his eyes and asked, "Are you doubting His Majesty's justice?"
"I dare not." The Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Rites knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately bowed and said.
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "In that case, the case will be handed over to the Supreme Court. Liu Yiyi will assist in the investigation. Where is the Chancellor of the Supreme Court? "
"I am here." Among the officials, a middle-aged man immediately stood up.
Li Yi frowned slightly. This case was definitely not done by Zeng Zuimo and the others. The reason why he saved them from the Ministry of Justice was that he was worried that they would suffer during the trial. If it was the Supreme Court, everything would be out of control.
One of his shoulders was touched. Li Xuan turned his head and whispered, "Don't worry, Chancellor of the Supreme Court. Our people guarantee that your Miss Zeng will live more comfortably there than in the Secret Intelligence Department."
The reputation of the Ministry of Justice was too bad, and the Secret Intelligence Department could not stop everyone from talking. There was no objection to handing over the case to the Supreme Court.
Even the Minister of Justice and the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Rites did not speak again.
Emperor Jing said to the eunuchs below, "Where is Liu Yiyi? Let him immediately hand over the case to the Supreme Court and assist them in handling it."
As soon as he finished speaking, another eunuch came in and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Lord Liu Yiyi requests to see you!"
Today's court was really strange. Whoever was summoned by His Majesty arrived. The efficiency was amazing. Emperor Jing was also stunned for a moment, but then he waved his hand and said, "Let him in!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Liu Yiyi walked in and bowed.
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You heard what I said just now. I order you to assist the Supreme Court and solve this case within three days …"
"Ahem, Your Majesty …" Liu Yiyi raised his head, looked at Emperor Jing, and said, "Your Majesty, this case has been solved. There is no need to trouble the Supreme Court anymore."
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the court.
It had only been a few hours since the incident occurred, and it had only been less than two hours since the Secret Intelligence Division took the suspect away from the Ministry of Justice. In such a short time, the case had been solved. Was the Ghost King Liu of the Secret Intelligence Division really that terrifying?
When Assistant Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Justice heard this, he also paused, a look of disbelief appearing on his face. Just now, in the main hall of the Ministry of Justice, they had already narrowed down the scope of the culprit very much and had almost locked onto the three women. Could it be that the Intelligence Division had directly convicted that woman?
He was shocked because he knew that the Secret Intelligence Division would not do so.
"Who is the murderer?" After Jing Di regained his senses, he immediately looked at him and asked.
Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent. Let me tell you slowly."
Li Xuan nudged Li Yi again and whispered, "Your subordinate has taught well."
He had taught him everything that should be taught. It had to be said that in some matters, Liu Yiyi had never let him down.
"Speak." At this time, Emperor Jing was also interested.
"Before that, Your Majesty, please take a look at the interrogation file of the Ministry of Justice this morning." Liu Yiyi 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. Emperor Jing looked at it for a moment and frowned. "There is no witness and material evidence. How can there be conclusive evidence? I have already ordered that the Ministry of Justice and the local authorities should not use torture when handling cases. Is this how the Ministry of Justice handles cases?"
Many officials looked at each other. His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Ministry of Justice. Ever since Liu Yiyi was in charge of the old cases of the Ministry of Justice, the problems of the Ministry of Justice were exposed. According to His Majesty's temperament, after this matter, he would probably take some measures against the Ministry of Justice.
The expression of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice changed and he immediately said, "Your Majesty, that woman despised the court, and all the evidence points to those women. If we do not use torture, it will be difficult to investigate the case."
"Haha …" Liu Yiyi looked at him and said, "Assistant Minister Zhao, remember what you said now."
Assistant Minister Zhao felt very uncomfortable when he heard the word "haha", but at this moment, he could only swallow his anger.
At this time, Liu Yiyi continued, "This morning, the son of Official Chen of the Ministry of Rites died in his own home. After an examination, it was concluded that he died of poisoning. After the testimony of many witnesses, it was generally confirmed that the time of Chen's poisoning was yesterday in the evening. What was Chen doing in the evening?"
"He had just drunk some wine and went to Willow Alley to find a girl with the surname of Chen. According to the servants of the Chen Family, Chen had been pestering this Miss Zeng a lot these days and wanted to take her as a concubine. However, this Miss Zeng was unwilling. Yesterday, Chen was rude after drinking and had a conflict with Miss Zeng. The time when he was poisoned was around this time. Based on this, the Ministry of Justice deduced that Miss Zeng and the others were the culprits. It is not unreasonable."
After Liu Yiyi finished speaking, he smiled again and said, "However, everyone may not know that the cause of the conflict between Young Duke Qin and Royal Prince Duanyang with the Princess was actually this Miss Zeng."
When Liu Yiyi said this, everyone naturally thought of the matter that caused a huge commotion last time.
Because of this, many of the heirs of the families of the ministers were still lying in bed recovering from their injuries.
"Young Duke Qin was flirting with an innocent family in the capital and was seriously injured by a passing hero. The person he wanted to flirt with was this Miss Zeng. The reason for the conflict with the Princess was because they saw Miss Zeng in Drunken Moon Pavilion and wanted to take revenge … However, they did not know that Her Royal Highness was also there at the time and suffered a great loss.
After the investigation of the Secret Intelligence Division, it was found that there were indeed some unrelated people waiting by Miss Zeng's side these days … "
At this moment, Liu Yiyi did not need to continue speaking.
Which one of the people present was not an old fox? How could an ordinary woman have the guts to poison the son of an official and act as if nothing had happened after poisoning him …
At this moment, many people could smell the scent of a conspiracy.
An ordinary woman having the guts to poison the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites was an unbelievable thing. However, after Liu Yiyi's reminder, everyone realized that this woman did not seem to be an ordinary woman. An ordinary woman did not have the ability to incur the hatred of these people.
Moreover, based on the current situation, this woman seemed to have some relationship with the Earl of Chang 'an, Li Yi. If the scope was expanded, the people who had enmity with the Earl of Chang' an …
After the previous incident, Royal Prince Duanyang, Young Duke Qin, and many other playboys in the capital all hated them to the bone. And the one who hated the Earl of Chang 'an the most was none other than the King of Shu …
And the Ministry of Justice's investigation was so sloppy. Not to mention the Emperor, even they could not stand it. There must be something fishy going on …
The younger generation of the few families, even Qin Yu, would not dare to plot to kill the son of an official and affect the dignified Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. So who could it be?
It was terrifying to think about it …
At this point, many people did not dare to think about it anymore — — there must be more to this matter.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites' face suddenly darkened. The pain of losing his son had indeed filled his heart with anger, but it did not mean that he had lost all his rationality. Putting himself in her shoes, how could a mere commoner woman have the guts to do such a thing?
"You're saying that someone deliberately framed her?" At this time, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice raised his eyebrows and questioned, "But at that time, other than those three women, there was no one else present. Could it be that someone could poison them from afar and then frame them?"
Liu Yiyi looked at him and asked, "Assistant Minister Zhao, are you sure that there was no one else present at that time?"
