Your Highness, the Crown Princess is investigating the case again!

Chapter 44 The mastermind behind the scenes
Beizhen Fusi is different from ordinary yamen. There is a government hall where the public hears cases and allows the common people to watch.

Today, Shen Luo invited Jing Tingyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and Gu Hong, Zhongcheng Yushi, to sit on both sides of the desk.

"Master Shen, it's not that I don't believe you, but I still want to ask, is there really a need for a retrial in this case?" Jing Tingyi questioned Shen Luo's decision for the first time.

Shen Luo looked at the audience, and replied in a deep voice: "The truth of this case is far more twists and turns than what we have seen."

Jing Tingyi glanced at Gu Hong beside him, and the two looked at each other, choosing to wait and see what happened.

Fang Chaozong was drinking in the mansion, but was forcibly taken to the lobby of Beizhen Mansion by the people of Beizhen Mansion, where he saw his wife Liu Yinyin and an older and beautiful woman.

Shen Luo ordered Gao Zhi to hand over all the files of Liu Yinyin's past recorded on the case table to Fang Chaozong, and said, "You don't have to deny it, the Beizhen government secretary has fully investigated your past over the years."

"I show you these to give you a chance to supplement." Shen Luo looked at Fang Chaozong who took over the file, and said in a deep voice: "You have only two choices, whether you refuse to admit it and suffer all kinds of torture, or take the initiative to confess Leave the whole body."

"Of course, no matter whether you say it or not, you will die in the end." Shen Luo withdrew her gaze, and handed the file in her hand to the two adults beside her.

They took the file, read it carefully, and said in a deep voice, "It turns out that Yi Zishao was murdered by Fang Chaozong and Liu Yinyin."

"It's much more than that." When the words fell, Shen Luo looked back at Fang Chaozong, and said, "Tell me who is behind your back?"

Fang Chaozong did not answer the question, but asked instead: "If I tell the truth, how will I be sentenced?"

He knew that Shen Luo already knew everything he had done, and there was no need for him to resist or deny it, he just wanted to know what would happen to him in the end?
Shen Luo replied with a smile: "It depends on whether what you explain is what I want."

Fang Chaozong is still hesitating, defrauding other people's property will be jailed for a few years at most, but intentional homicide is a capital crime.

Although Liu Shi had never met Fang Chaozong, she also understood who it was standing in front of her at this moment: "I know you are Fang Chaozong, and I am Yi Zishao's biological mother. I just want to know who is Fang Chaozong? Who ordered you to kill my son?"

"Tell me, is it Yi Ling's wife Wang Shi who ordered you to kill my son, isn't it?" Liu Shi had no power to restrain the chicken, so she could only beg the murderer who killed her son, wanting him to tell her true thoughts. A murderer who wants to kill his own son.

If it wasn't in the hall of Beizhen Mansion, if it wasn't under Shen Luo's gaze, she would have strangled the murderer of her son in front of her.

But she can't, the real murderer behind the scenes has not been caught, she can't kill the only person who can prove who the real murderer is behind the scenes.

Fang Chaozong didn't speak, but Shen Luo urged: "It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Deputy Situ has already gone to arrest Wang Yaru. Even if she hides in Youxiang's Mansion, she can't stop the guard of the Beizhen Mansion."

Everyone looked at the person in front of them in disbelief, Gu Hong asked softly: "Lord Situ, is that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Shen Luo smiled lightly: "What's the matter?"

"Beizhen Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty. No matter who the criminal is, I have enough power to arrest him."

When the words fell, Shen Luo looked at the people kneeling in the hall, and said with a light smile, "From the moment Liu Yinyin ran in front of this official, this official has ordered someone to secretly investigate the past of each of you."

Fang Chaozong suddenly raised his eyes to look at Liu Yinyin, his eyes were ferocious: "You bitch, how dare you betray me for a man?"

"What did you do to me? You killed Mr. Yi for money and ruined my reputation. You cut off all my means of survival. I can only choose to resist." Liu Yinyin was normal, without any scruples, and unscrupulously mocked: " Everything today is your fault, you can't blame me!"

"Shut up." Shen Luo spoke to stop the two from arguing.

Her voice was very cold, like ice submerged in an abyss, so that everyone dared not resist but surrendered.

Shen Luo continued to ask: "Last night, the deputy Situ next to me brought the maid next to Mrs. Wang into Beizhen Prefecture for trial. Just recruited, she told you exactly how Wang met you and who she met?"

"I have someone check overnight to confirm that what the little maid said is true." Seeing the puzzled faces of the two adults beside her, Shen Luo spoke the truth.

"Why?" The two were a little confused.

Shen Luo looked at the two of them, and replied: "Presumably, the two adults should have heard that Yi Jun adopted Yi Zishao to Yi Ling, the Patriarch of the Yi Family, and will become the Patriarch of the Yi Family."

As she said that, she turned her eyes to Yi Ling, and said tentatively, "Yi Ling, Yi Zishao is your son, and your only son died, so you never suspected the cause of Yi Zishao's death?"

"Haven't you ever suspected that all this is your wife's jealousy, finding someone to play tricks and killing your own son?" Shen Luo asked coldly.

Yi Ling was silent, not daring to raise his eyes, the hall was full of officials, the most secret private affairs were revealed, he had no face to face the crowd, and remained silent.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect to hear such explosive news today.

Jing Tingyi and Gu Hong couldn't help looking at Shen Luo, and said in surprise, "Master Shen, you are not joking with me!"

"If what I said was a lie, why didn't Yi Zishao's biological mother not refute it?" Shen Luo looked at Liu Shi with burning eyes, and then at Yi Ling.

Liu Shi was so ashamed that she lowered her head, not daring to face anyone's questioning eyes and voices.

Feeling Shen Luo's scrutiny, Yi Ling raised his head slowly, and asked softly, "Is what you said true? Was Zishao really killed by Mrs. Wang?"

After Zishao died, he didn't dare to find out the truth, fearing that his accusations and questioning would reveal the fact that he was Yi Zishao's biological father.He locked himself in the house and dared not go out.He even followed the advice of the elders in the clan and kicked Yi Zishao out of his ancestral home for the sake of the clan's face, denying his existence.

But he is Zishao's biological father, and the pain he endured is beyond the comprehension and feeling of others.

Shen Luo looked at Yi Ling's pained, astonished and remorseful eyes, and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, Mrs. Wang is the real culprit who killed your son."

"Last night during the surprise interrogation, Wang's substitute mother and maid revealed what Wang did."

"After Yi Zishao adopted you, Mrs. Wang heard the conversation between you and Mrs. Liu hiding in the house. Mrs. Wang left Yi's house angrily, and then he met Fang Chaozong and Liu Yinyin, who were addicted to gambling. It is because they want to use Fang Chaozong's hand to make Yi Zishao addicted to gambling and ruin his reputation."

"However, Fang Chaozong proposed a better idea in order to get more money. He suggested that his wife bewitch Yi Zishao, and then direct and perform a good show by himself, using the hand of the law to kill Yi Zishao openly. "

Yi Ling woke up suddenly, knelt on his knees and begged, "Master Shen, now that the case has been investigated, I have a heartfelt request."
