After the soul exchange, the powerful minister gave birth to twins for me

Chapter 159 Corruption Case

The scene just now is still in my mind, and I don't know how to face it.

I don't know how long it took, but the water temperature began to cool, and Liu Ruyun came out of it slowly, and cleared her voice lightly.

She hesitated for a long time outside the room alone before slowly pushing the door open.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zhiyuan was already lying down and fell asleep, Liu Ruyun hummed lightly.

Could he be pretending to be asleep, Liu Ruyun approached while thinking cautiously in her heart.

When she quietly went to bed and was about to fall asleep, Mo Zhiyuan suddenly turned over and hugged Liu Ruyun tightly in his arms.

Liu Ruyun was taken aback, and when she was about to speak, there was no sound behind her.

She was lying on the bed alone, her whole body was stiff, and before she could turn around, she heard her breathing evenly behind her.

These days, Mo Zhiyuan has been running around for days and has no time to rest.
It is rare to find key clues, and the tense nerves are also temporarily rested.

He didn't pretend to be asleep, but he didn't forget to hug Liu Ruyun tightly in his dream.

Liu Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully placed a kiss on his forehead, "You have worked hard these days."

She hugged Mo Zhiyuan tightly and fell asleep contentedly.

The moon in the middle of the night also hides between the clouds unconsciously.

The night is getting quieter now.

Early the next morning, a sound of hooves honking broke the silence of the morning.

Hubu Shangshu was in prison, and when he committed suicide in fear of crime, there was an uproar outside, leaving only a confession.

As soon as Dufeng got the news, he hurried over.

When Liu Ruyun just woke up and was dressing up, she saw his serious face, looking at Mo Zhiyuan's sleeping face, a trace of heaviness crossed his face, and nodded to him, let's talk about anything else.

In the side hall, Dufeng hurriedly reported the investigation he got in the morning.

"You said that Shangshu Hubu committed suicide in prison and left behind a confession."

Liu Ruyun frowned tightly, her eyes widened in disbelief, it would become like this.

"Yes, this is the news I got in the morning, and it has been spread like crazy outside."

Liu Ruyun tapped lightly on the table with her fingers, it was not an easy matter.

Hubu Shangshu committed suicide in prison. On the surface, this matter has been resolved.

Hubu Shangshu is not a scapegoat, I am afraid that the people behind the scenes want him to die, so he has to die.

Being able to achieve the position of Hubu Shangshu is especially easy to be controlled by others.

I'm afraid there is a deeper conspiracy in it.

"Go and investigate. This matter must be investigated. Suicide at this critical moment may not be a good thing."

Liu Ruyun rubbed the teacup slightly with her fingers, feeling heavy in her heart, not knowing who else was involved.

"Don't startle the snake with this matter, I know it well."

Liu Ruyun looked out the window, is the whole imperial city about to change?
When she returned to the room, Mo Zhiyuan had already woken up.

She told the matter in an orderly manner.

"Shangshu Hubu committed suicide at this time?" Mo Zhiyuan's hands froze, "I'll go first and check the situation in the prison."

Mo Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and sped up his movements a bit. He only caught him yesterday, but today he died.

"Be careful when you go, I will also pay more attention to the situation in the mansion."

Seeing his anxious expression, Liu Ruyun also knew that this was not the time for chaos.

Be sure to stay steady and figure out the situation well.

"I see, this matter is deeper than what this king thought."

Thinking of this, the light in Mo Zhiyuan's eyes dimmed a bit, "I'll go there first."

Seeing this, Liu Ruyun didn't want to say any more, and she sighed helplessly in her heart, hoping that it will go well and there will be no more accidents.

I don't know what will happen in the prison.

When Mo Zhiyuan came to the prison, several officials surrounded him.

"General, you are here, how to end this matter, the emperor blames it, what should be done for this crime."

The face of Minister of the Ministry of Justice was full of confusion, seeing Mo Zhiyuan approaching, it was like seeing a reassurance pill.

Will the emperor blame him for not seeing people well, and people dying in prison like this.

What to do with this.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice kept talking beside his ear.

Mo Zhiyuan's brows turned cold, and he looked at him indifferently, "Can you shut up."

"The general didn't come to listen to your nonsense." The moment his voice fell, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice shut his mouth tightly, not daring to complain.

"Where is the suicide note left by Shangshu Hube?"

"Here, we dare not open it." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice smiled flatteringly, and all the items were inside.

They didn't dare to check it without Mo Zhiyuan's instructions, for fear of destroying the relevant items.

At that time, they will be the ones who want to cry.

Mo Zhiyuan's indifferent eyes fell on him for a moment, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice felt the chrysanthemum tighten, and there was an indescribable feeling.

The content of the confession is not much, only two pages.

Mo Zhiyuan checked the content with a single glance, his eyes widened for a moment, and then he frowned, "How did it become like this?"

The content of the confession is not shocking. His death was not voluntary, but threatened.

All of this was instigated by the eldest prince, the scapegoat who was pushed out at that time.

It stated line by line the inside story of how the First Prince threatened him and asked him to replace him.

The moment Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice saw the contents inside, his pupils widened for a moment, "This, this, this."

"How could this eldest prince be like this? Doesn't the death of Minister of the Household Department mean that?"

"Go and investigate the death of Minister of the Household Department first, whether it was suicide or someone framed him."

Mo Zhiyuan's eyes sank and he got some answers in his heart, it really was what he thought.

The death of Hubu Shangshu was not simple. Someone framed him and wanted to put him to death.

The people from the Minister of Criminal Affairs brought the result soon, but the result was as expected by everyone.

Shangshu Xingbu did not commit suicide, but was strangled to death.

"Strangle to death, what about the murderer." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment gritted his teeth.

"There is no murderer. We only found a heavy strangle mark on Shangshu Hubu's neck, and nothing else was found."

The guard half-kneeled on the ground. This was all the information he found, and there was nothing else at all.

"The general knows, you go down first."

There was clarity in Mo Zhiyuan's eyes, as he had imagined, this matter was not simple.

"General, what should we do now? The outside world is waiting for a result. Here we are."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice trembled in his heart. If it was passed on, it would still be a question of whether he could continue in this position.

The responsibility will definitely fall on his head.

"Continue to investigate, no matter what is found, this general will have a result." Mo Zhiyuan stared at him coldly, this is a kind of rational to almost indifferent scrutiny.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment nodded repeatedly, not daring to delay any more, and immediately sent someone out to check.

The eldest prince was pushed to Fenglang's head in an instant, and everyone's eyes turned to this place.

The few remaining princes waited to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Mo Zhiyuan conducted a thorough investigation for a whole day, but found very little information.
