The Vice Minister of the Supreme Court actually surrendered himself and was imprisoned! The moment this news came out, it immediately shocked the ears of all the officials. When Feng Zheng heard of this, he was so shocked that his old bones almost fell off his armchair and onto his back. This time, he didn't have time to pretend to be weak. He crawled up from the ground and rushed to the imperial palace with unprecedented speed to report this news to His Majesty.
"Aiya, aiya, what should I do? My Yue's imperial court is going to be in chaos!"
At the entrance of the Supreme Court, Xue Qiongwei was making a scene.
"Get out of the way. My second brother can't kill anyone. Let me in! He is the Vice Minister of the Supreme Court, a fourth-rank official, and the Prime Minister's legitimate son. How dare you arrest him! "
The Supreme Court's bailiffs had bitter expressions. "Miss Qiongwei, we also didn't want to lock Vice Minister up. But Shaoqing took the initiative to confess and told us the whole process of the crime in full detail. You also know that this is a serious case. Our heads are hanging on our waistbands. Please be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for us. "
Xue Qiongwei's voice trembled. "He really said that he committed the crime?"
"How could it be false?" The bailiffs said. "If it was someone else who reported it, there would be a possibility of framing him. However, Shaoqing was the one who admitted to it, and he even told him every detail of the crime. And in order to hide the truth, he almost killed Prince Nan Ping. Even now, we don't know if His Highness is still alive. Vice Minister had no choice but to confess. What else is there to talk about? "
Xue Qiongwei's face paled and tears seemed to flash in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and said, "I don't care. His Majesty hasn't convicted him yet, right? Then he's still a suspect. Since that's the case, why don't you let me in to see him! I'll say it again, let me in! "
The bailiffs were in a difficult position, but because of her status, they didn't dare to be rough with her. Just as they were frowning, they saw Ning Shu coming from afar. They hurriedly diverted the trouble. "Lady Ning was appointed by His Majesty to investigate this case. Whether or not you can enter depends on Lady Ning's golden mouth."
Xue Qiongwei turned her head and met Ning Shu's calm eyes. Without waiting for the horse to stop, she had already rushed over and stretched out her arms to block the horse. The horse neighed in fright. Fortunately, Ning Shu controlled the horse in time, preventing it from trampling Xue Qiongwei to death on the spot.
Xue Qiongwei opened her tightly shut eyes. The previously domineering Miss Biao of the prime minister's manor had a rare moment of humility, "Lady Ning, please let me in to see Second Brother! He must have been bewitched for a moment to spout nonsense. A person like him wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could he possibly kill someone? Let me go in and persuade him. He will definitely tell the truth. Lady Ning, he's your fiancé. You're bound together for good or ill. If he's convicted, you won't get any benefits either. "
Ning Shu pulled the reins and looked down at her. "Miss Bella, how can you be sure that he's talking nonsense and not telling the truth?"
"Didn't he say it before? On the night of the crime, he stayed overnight in the Supreme Court to check the list of criminals. Both Deputy Minister Zheng and Deputy Minister Xie can testify for him. Why don't you believe him! I know. You must be holding a grudge against me for purposely getting close to Second Brother, right? I know I was wrong! I apologize to you. I promise I'll stay far away from him in the future. I won't disturb you or be an eyesore. Can't you just help him? "
Looking at her teary eyes, Ning Shu shook her head and said, "Bella, you misunderstand. I believe him, so after he spoke, I dispelled my suspicions. But just now, I received news that Deputy Minister Zheng and Deputy Minister Xie personally admitted that at the beginning of the night, they were indeed accompanying Minister Tan to check the list of criminals. However, at night, Minister Tan used the excuse that there was a problem with a portion of the list and needed to go to the warehouse to check it again. Deputy Minister Zheng offered to accompany them, but Minister Tan declined and insisted on going alone. After that, Deputy Zheng and Deputy Xie were tired from working and took a nap on their desks. When they woke up around three in the morning, Deputy Xie asked when he would be back. Deputy Tan said around three in the morning, so the two believed him. However, was that really the case? During this period of time, he was completely alone. Who would know if he was really working in the warehouse or deliberately sending people away? His alibi isn't enough to convince the public. "
