Prosperous advisors

Chapter 486 Murong Yu's Death (2)
Sitting on it was a first-rank official, and below sat two rows of princes and important court officials. Even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who had been an official in the court for many years, couldn't help but tremble, silently thinking about how to interrogate in order not to offend others. .In contrast, Mu Qingyi and Nangong Yi seemed much calmer.

"It's time, Master Shangshu, please?" Mu Qingyi said with a smile.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice glanced at the princes below, touched his forehead and said with a smile, "May I still come, Mr. Gu?"

Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "How could I be so ignorant of etiquette? Please, Mr. Shangshu." Mr. Shangshu wiped his sweat silently in his heart. I don't mind at all that you don't know etiquette. "Then... Mr. Nangong will come here." ?”

Nangong Yi snorted softly, raised his hand to pat the gavel, and said, "Bring the suspect up."

After a while, the servant of Fengtian Mansion came in with a ragged man.There was no suspense at all, the man was from the Prince's Mansion of Shunning County, and he confessed that he was ordered by Murong Yu to poison King Zhuang and so on.

The one who came out after that was Murong Yu. Compared to the person who fell into Nangong Yi's hands, Murong Yu's luck was obviously better. At least his clothes were tidy, and he didn't seem to have been tortured at all?Nangong Yi stared at Murong Yu and said in a deep voice: "Murong Yu, the servants in your house said that you ordered the poisoning of King Zhuang. Is this true?"

Murong Yu looked towards the princes present, but he did not see Rong Yan's figure, his heart sank, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

"Bang!" Nangong Yi sternly said, "You are so courageous, do you know that murdering the prince is a serious crime against the Nine Clans?"

Murong Yu nodded and said, "I know."

"Why did you murder King Zhuang? King Zhuang has a grudge against you?" Nangong Yi asked.

Murong Yu shook his head, pondered for a moment and said, "Prince Duan ordered me to do this."

"You're talking nonsense!" The tenth prince Rong Xun stood up abruptly and pointed at Murong Yu and said sharply, "Fourth brother and second brother are blood brothers, how could they murder him? Slandering the prince is also a capital offense!"

Nangong Yi frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty the Tenth Highness, you will know if you are slandering me in a while. This is a court, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Murong Yu glanced at Rong Xing, and said in a deep voice, "I have a secret letter to communicate with Prince Duan."

Nangong Yi nodded, "Present."

The yamen servant at the bottom presented a box of letters. Nangong Yi and Mu Qingyi asked the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment to read it together. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment frowned and said, "This...although it can prove that the Shunning County King and the Duan King are indeed very close personal friends, but it seems that they cannot It proves that King Duan instructed him to poison him."

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness Duan to come down and talk?"

The other two naturally agreed.

"His Royal Highness Duan is here!" Because Rong Yan was immediately accused of ordering Rong Xuan to be poisoned, although there was no evidence, Rong Xuan was not qualified to attend the interrogation as a suspected person.Had to wait in the side hall.

Rong Yan stepped into the hall calmly, and glanced at the three people in the hall and Murong Yu standing in the hall.Nangong Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Gu, you will ask the next question?" Although Nangong Yi is also the presiding judge, he is also Rong Xuan's cousin, so naturally he needs to avoid suspicion a little.

Mu Qingyi didn't care, nodded and said, "His Royal Highness, Murong Yu accused you of instigating him to murder King Zhuang, you can admit it."

Rong Yan acted very calmly, and said calmly: "This king naturally does not recognize it. Although the relationship between this king and second brother is not good, they are brothers. How could this king poison his own brother?"

Mu Qingyi picked up the letters on the table and asked, "How do you explain these letters?"

Rong Yan was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said: "Murong Yu came to Xiyue with this king at the beginning, and my relationship with him is naturally better than ordinary people. What's so strange about the occasional correspondence?" Rong Yan The memory is not bad, and he quickly recalled that although there were some outliers in the letter, they were insignificant compared to the crime of murdering King Zhuang.

Mu Qingyi didn't seem to have any intention of pestering this, but said indifferently: "So, Prince Duan admits that he has a long-term friendship with Murong Yu?" Rong Yan replied cautiously, "It's justified." He has also seen how powerful Gu Liuyun is. When you speak, you will naturally become cautious.

Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and said, "Since His Royal Highness Duan Wang has a good relationship with Murong Yu, why does he still say that you ordered it? Instead of someone else? For example, King Xun and King Yu?"

Rong Yan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes and said: "How does this king know? Maybe...he has a good nature of betraying his friends. Don't forget...wasn't the Gu family of Huaguo ruined because of him?"

"The Gu family has fallen, and Prince Gong has been the leader in the court since then. Now...if Prince Duan falls, what will King Shunning get?" Mu Qingyi asked calmly.

Rong Yan closed his eyes, "It seems that you should ask the King of Shunning County." After speaking, he turned sideways, obviously refusing to answer any more questions.

Mu Qingyi shrugged, and said again, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang, a few days ago, I received nearly forty or fifty complaints from Fengtian Mansion against King Zhuang and his important ministers. Some people said that you were behind the scenes. I wonder if it is true? "

Rong Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and said sharply: "Gu Liuyun, don't spit blood!"

Mu Qingyi didn't argue, and continued to ask: "The next day, our residence received dozens of complaints against Zhuang Zi of Prince Duan's residence. It is said that Prince Zhuang's residence ordered him to do so. Does Prince Duan think so?"

"I don't know, isn't this a matter of Fengtian Mansion? Those adults are still locked up in Fengtian Mansion by Mr. Gu. Hasn't Mr. Gu found out yet?" Rong Yan gritted his teeth.

Mu Qingyi said calmly: "Not all of them have been found out, but a few have been revealed. Do you want to share with His Royal Highness Duan Wang?"

An ominous premonition rose in Rong Yan's heart, and he was about to refuse, only to hear Rong Zhang beside him say calmly: "Although it has nothing to do with this case, if the three chief judges think they can prove something, it's okay to listen. "

Nangong Yi naturally agreed, and there was no problem with Mu Qingyi's proposal.On the contrary, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment hesitated for a moment, and finally avoided Rong Xing's sharp gaze and said: "I...have no objection."

Mu Qingyi turned around with a smile and took the dossier handed over by Bu Yutang behind her, and said in a low voice: "I have investigated the case of Nangong Yu's horse-wounding case of the Nangong family two years ago. The wounded, and basically recovered after two months of injury. But he died inexplicably not long ago. The case of Duan Wangfei's natal nephew wounding someone to death is true. Oh, it seems that the person who died happened to be killed by Mr. Nangong's horse two years ago. The person who kicked. The bribery case of Prince Duan’s mansion is true. The case of Mr. Li’s robbery of a civilian girl, according to the investigation... That woman seems to be a woman bought by Mr. Li from the brothel. Of course... As an official, but If you are nostalgic for brothels, you will be impeached by the censor..."
