Prosperous advisors

Chapter 487 Murong Yu's Death (3)
He read a long list eloquently, and everyone present was familiar with the officialdom, so it was natural for them to clearly distinguish who belonged to the king of trouble and who belonged to the king of Zhuang.Then I was surprised to find that the cases in Prince Duan's Mansion generally had conclusive evidence, while half of the cases in Prince Zhuang's Mansion were framed.

After finishing the reading, Mu Qingyi waved the dossier to the princes for them to watch.Rong Yan's expression turned ugly, "Gu Liuyun, you..."

In fact, the two cases are similar, and both are half-truths and half-false.But this is also a skill. Mu Qingyi can judge most of the cases from a glance.For the first case, she chose the real Prince Duan's Mansion and the fake Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and the result was naturally like this.But no one could say anything.If all the cases are closed, you will find that everyone is in the same boat.

Back then Rong Yan only cared about making trouble for Rong Xuan and Mu Qingyi, maybe she never thought about such an incident.

Mu Qingyi said calmly: "I guarantee the official hat on my head and my life. If there are mistakes in these cases, I will pay for it with my life."

Before the words finished, Mu Qingyi noticed a cold gaze shooting over.You don't need to look down to know that Rong Jin must be staring at him with displeasure.He had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and looked at Rong Yan calmly.

It is precisely because Rong Yan knows the truth and falsehood here that he is so angry that he has nothing to say.After a long while, Rong Yan sneered and said: "Even so, what can be proved? It proves that the relationship between the king and the second brother is not good? Could it be that the relationship between the king and the second brother is not good and he must be poisoned? Can the king do it? Do you understand that all the people who had a bad relationship with Mr. Gu were killed by Mr. Gu?"

Mu Qingyi nodded and admitted: "It's really far-fetched to say so. But... What if we add this?" Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Mu Qingyi took out a piece of jade pendant from the box in front of him, which was not very eye-catching Said: "According to the Prince of Shunning, this is the result of the person sent by His Highness Duan Wang to urge him to do it as soon as possible. Um... It is said that it is the confidant guard who often follows the prince. The prince should have seen this piece of jade, right?" ?”

Surprised, Rong Yan resolutely rejected it: "It's nonsense, this king has never seen this piece of jade before!"

"In addition, the map that sneaked into Prince Zhuang's Mansion also passed through Prince Duan's Mansion. Let me take a look... This map is drawn on the most commonly used Jinxia paper by King Duan, and there is a word Duan in the corner." Mu Qingyi took it carelessly. He picked up a folded note and said lightly.

Rong Yan's heart moved, "You are talking nonsense, how could I write my own name on the map? I have never drawn any maps at all. Someone must have stolen my paper and wanted to frame me!"

Mu Qingyi sneered and said, "It's true that there is no name of Prince Duan on it. Since it wasn't written by the prince himself, why should the prince think that someone stole your paper? Jinxia paper without handwriting, is it possible that the paper from Duanwang's mansion is sold outside?" Is there any difference? Or is it that the prince himself knows that the Jinxia paper is indeed from the study of Prince Duan's mansion? In addition, this jade pendant... an imitation jade pendant of two taels of silver, is very popular among ordinary people in the capital because of its simple and elegant style. I like it. Even the guards and servants of Prince Duan's Mansion, it is easy to find seven or eight yuan at random. How can the prince say that he has never seen it before?"

"Gu Liuyun!" Rong Yan gritted his teeth and stared at Gu Liuyun.Although he acted carefully, he did not leave any conclusive evidence for Murong Yu to prove that he was involved in this matter.But after today's incident, I am afraid that everyone present has begun to doubt him.Rong Yan finally understood the unspeakable pain that Rong Xuan felt when mourning the death of Prince Gong, although he was indeed not innocent.

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Rong Yan calmly.She knew from the very beginning that the case would be fruitless.In other words... Even if there is a result, Murong Yu will still be responsible for the final crime.It is impossible for the royal family to make public the matter of brotherly killing, which is one of the reasons why the Xiyue Emperor suppressed Zha Ronghuang at the beginning.

To destroy a prince, in many cases, no evidence is needed at all.It just needs to make it feel like he did something.

What happened afterwards was not like a court trial, but more like a quarrel between several groups of people.Some insisted that Rong Yan was the murderer behind the scenes, some swore that Rong Yan was framed, and some felt that Rong Yan had nothing to do with this matter.At the end of the quarrel, what happened to the three presiding judges who had nothing to say.They have the lowest official positions and can't speak.

In the end, Rong Jin was a little impatient, and said: "What's the fuss, can you bring the interrogation process into the palace to show the father? If you have any opinions, it's fine for each of you to write a report. Long-winded Like an old woman, this king is hungry!"

Everyone was embarrassed at once, and finally Rong Zhang coughed lightly and said: "Ninth Brother is right, Father only wanted us to hear the trial, and didn't ask us to intervene. At this time, it is still up to the chief judges to make a decision."

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but Rong Zhang had already waved his hand and turned to go out.

"Master Gu, can I leave?" Rong Yan said in a low voice with a cold face.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Of course it's fine, my lord, please let me know."

Rong Yan stared at Mu Qingyi for a long while, then said in a low voice, "Master Gu, everything should be done in moderation."

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about with Ziqing?" Rong Jin's voice came from behind coldly, Rong Yan only felt a chill in his back, said something and turned around and left.

Mu Qingyi asked Murong Yu to be escorted back, and said goodbye to Nangong Yi and Minister of the Ministry of Justice before following Rong Jin into the back hall.

There was silence in the back hall, but there were two people sitting and standing one by one.The Emperor Xiyue sat behind the screen in an autumn-colored uniform, his eyes downcast and silent.Without the sense of distance brought by the bright yellow dragon robe and crown, Mu Qingyi clearly saw that Emperor Xiyue was indeed old, and the complexion on his face was not as good as when he was in the palace.

"Your Majesty." Mu Qingyi stepped forward to salute, and Emperor Xiyue waved his finger to the chair next to him and motioned them to sit down.Before Mu Qingyi had time to thank her, she was pulled by Rong Jin and sat down directly.

Emperor Xiyue leaned back in the upholstered chair with a relaxed look on his face, as if he was an ordinary old man who was not very conspicuous.Only those bright eyes from time to time made people involuntarily remember his identity and did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.

Looking at Mu Qingyi, Emperor Xiyue raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think of this case?"

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said with a faint smile: "Actually, your majesty knows the whole story, and the so-called interrogation is just a formality. What happens in the end... depends on your majesty's will."

Emperor Xiyue stared at her for a long while before he said calmly, "You are quite courageous." Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and sat down respectfully.

Emperor Xiyue snorted coldly, "A bunch of scoundrels! They can't wait until I'm dead."

Mu Qingyi complained secretly in her heart: If you have not been able to determine the throne before you die, I am afraid that you will also end up fighting for the position in front of the bed of the princes, and you will not be able to be buried.
