While the capital's officials were anxiously waiting for news from Jiangnan, the Ministry of Justice caused another incident. Yang Lian and Zou Min, who were imprisoned in the capital, both died overnight.

When the news got out, the Emperor directly threw away the teacup in his hand and ordered the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice to investigate.

After Mu Yunyao heard the news from Si Shu, she immediately frowned,

"Didn't I remind you to take note of it? How did they let someone get in the way?

"

The scribe replied respectfully,

"Eunuch Cheng sent word that His Royal Highness had done it on purpose.

"

"Intentionally?

" Mu Yunyao was surprised. The Board of Justice was the King's own territory. He was deliberately causing trouble at his own territory. Wasn't he afraid that the Emperor would question the Minister of Justice in his anger?

"Yes, Prince Jin only wanted people to kill Yang Lian's mouth. After His Royal Highness found out about this news, he purposely didn't get anyone to stop him. Together, they killed Zou Min as well.

" Mu Yunyao gently twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist, and her gaze slowly darkened,

"Yang Lian is at the heart of the struggle. His majesty is keeping an eye on him, but other than the clues that we intentionally threw away, Yang Lian doesn't have any intentions of admitting Prince Jin to be his son. He knows that Prince Jin is not safe at all.

If anything happened to Prince Jin, it would be hard for him to escape this calamity. Why did Prince Jin ignore the danger and rush to silence him?

"

Si Shu and the others quietly waited at the side, not daring to make a sound to interrupt Mu Yunyao's train of thoughts. Mu Yunyao suddenly stopped spinning the bracelet.

"Could it be that Prince Jin has already thought of a way to get out of the Jiang-Nan salt tax case? The only loophole is Yang Lian, who knows about the inside information. Assuming my guess is right, what means would Prince Jin use to get rid of the salt tax case

"Body?

"

"Evidence...

"Evidence...

" Mu Yunyao's face turned pale white.

"Jinlan, go call the six liang for me.

"

Very quickly, six taels of silver arrived in front of Mu Yunyao.

"Greetings, Master.

" Six taels, take my letter and my banknotes and immediately rush to Ziling City to find Steward Qin. Have him use Chang He's ticket number and exchange it for two million taels of silver, then send it to the capital by land. If you are able to see King Fu, tell him to be careful of the riverbank. I must deliver the letter with my own hands

Do you understand?

"

"Yes, please rest assured master, your subordinate will not disappoint you.

"

"Alright.

" Mu Yunyao got up and wrote a letter. After she was done, she carefully sealed the letter with wax and wrote three letters in a row before stopping. She then took out the silver notes and handed them over to the six men,

"Six taels.

"Alright.

"

"Your subordinate will go now.

"

After the six taels left, Jin Lan carefully asked,

"Miss, are you serious?

" I don't know if my guess is correct, but with regards to Prince Jin, you should never underestimate him. Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes.

"I'll give it a try. If I'm right, it's better to be safe than sorry. If it's better, then so be it.

"

"I didn't guess correctly, it would only consume a bit more manpower and material resources.

"

The brocade orchid still heard it and was still confused, but seeing the ugly expression on Mu Yunyao's face, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

The magistrate was ordered to investigate what happened in the prison. In the end only two guards were caught. They were afraid of the Emperor's decision to commit suicide. So they had no choice but to report the result to the court.

When the emperor saw this result, he flew into a rage. The Ministry of Justice was the place that paid the most attention to the law, but two court officials were secretly murdered in jail before they could be convicted. This was equivalent to a resounding slap in the face of the imperial court.

The Minister of Justice came out of the palace with his back hunched over. After changing his clothes, he hurried to the mansion. The King had long been waiting for the President of the Ministry of Justice. When he saw him arrive, he ordered someone to calm him down,

"Master Shao, you don't have to be so worried. I have already investigated this clearly, the two guards who died did not commit suicide out of fear for their crimes, but rather, they allowed someone to plot murder and kill them.

It was sent.

"

The Board of Justice's president had just taken a sip of tea when he heard this. He fell to the ground in fright and poured some tea all over the floor. Your majesty, you want me to sue His Majesty the Jin Emperor?

"

The dispute between the two princes had been going on for a long time. No matter how much a contest was going on in private, on the surface, they always showed the brotherly and brotherly courtesy that the emperor liked to see. Even if they tore off their relationship now, it shouldn't be him, the head of the Ministry of Justice, stepping out.

"Master Shao, don't worry. I won't let you identify King Jin. I just want you to report the results of your investigation to royal father. He will make his own decision.

" Wang Lin grinned, his eyes full of confidence.

"Your Highness, this …

"

"Isn't that inappropriate?

" Master Shao was reprimanded by royal father when he first entered the palace, right? The effect of this case is really bad. Lord Shao was unable to investigate until the end of the case, which was due to your incompetent performance as the head judge of the Ministry of Justice.

Is Master Shao able to accept it?

"

"If I do as His Highness says, won't the Emperor pursue it?

" If Your Excellency follows This King's instructions, This King can ensure that Your Majesty is safe and sound. Lord Shao, you are this king's right-hand man. For so many years, I have relied on you to support me in order to not be at a disadvantage in the imperial court.

I'll do my best to protect you.

"

The Minister of Justice carefully thought for a moment, then heavily nodded his head.

"Alright, then I will listen to His Highness's orders.

"

"Alright.

"

Two days later, the Minister of Justice once again handed in his book. This time, the emperor was similarly furious, but the target was not the Minister of Justice. Instead, he secretly pointed to Prince Jin in his imperial report. Prince Jin was immediately summoned into the palace. When Zou Min was poisoned to death, he guessed that Wang was trying to use this method to target him. Although he tried his best to flatten the evidence, he still managed to find some clues due to the lack of time. He did not know why the Board of Justice's letter was so accurate, but it turned out to be …

Ye Zichen checked out all the stewards in his residence. Imperial Father, your son is completely unaware of this. During this time, your son has been busy in the Ministry of Work with the reconstruction of Crooked Plough. I have rarely stepped out of the palace, so how could it have anything to do with the Ministry of Justice's prison murder case? In addition, the Minister of Justice had always been close to his eldest imperial brother. 'Even if I wanted to interfere, I wouldn't interfere!'

"A chance.

" Hearing this, the Minister of Justice hurriedly replied,

"Your Highness, the official identified the steward of your residence. Even if you don't believe that he has committed a grave mistake, you should at least go back and interrogate him before coming to a conclusion.

"Do you know your own business?
