Tyrant he always wants to hit me

Chapter 28
Soon after Zhaojun returned to Qianqing Hall, Dali Temple Minister went to the hall.

Ye Yuanxin, Minister of Dali Temple, took office three months ago, spent three months happily eating and drinking, but never expected to encounter such a big case.

"Your Majesty." Ye Yuanxin kowtowed on the ground. Due to the sudden weight gain in three months, the fat hat on his head could hardly be worn anymore, and he almost fell off when he kowtowed.

"Get up." Zhaojun said.

Ye Yuanxin got up and straightened his official hat.

"Have you understood all about the case?" Zhaojun said.

In fact, the file of the case had just been submitted to Dali Temple, and he only read it when he was sitting in the sedan chair on the way before entering the palace.

"Understood." Ye Yuanxin said.

"What do you think?"

Ye Yuanxin coughed dryly: "This killer was brought by Concubine Jing herself. On the surface, it looks like the killer hired by Concubine Jing to kill the Queen."

"The motive for the murder?" Zhaojun asked coldly.

"The motive... this." Ye Yuanxin thought for a while and said, "It's not uncommon for women in the harem to fight because of jealousy."

Zhaojun stared at him fiercely: "You mean, Concubine Jing killed the queen because of jealousy?"

Ye Yuanxin hurriedly said: "I don't dare, this is just my preliminary guess, the specifics, I have to wait for my investigation before reporting to the king!"

"Go down first. If you find something, report it to the king immediately." Zhaojun frowned and waved his hand.

Ye Yuanxin heaved a sigh of relief.However, he hadn't walked a few steps outside the Qianqing Palace when he suddenly found a figure with his back facing him...

It was night, and the Qianning Hall was brightly lit, but Mrs. Zheng was still lying quietly on the bed.

After taking the life-sustaining golden pill brought by Zheng Yuan, the bleeding in the wound has stopped, and his complexion has improved a little, but he still hasn't woken up. When the doctor took the pulse, he said that the heart pulse had returned to normal. wake up.

Zhaojun's expression softened a little, Zheng Yuan stared at him coldly, "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you."

Zhaojun glanced at him, turned away the people in the room, and the two stood in front of Zheng's couch, Zhaojun stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "If you have anything to say, the prime minister, just say it."

Zheng Yuan stared at Zhaojun, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I have already asked the maid who is serving the queen today, she said that the queen was injured by the killer brought by Concubine Jing."

Zhaojun was expressionless, and said calmly: "This case has been transferred to Dali Temple for handling, and I believe there will be a result soon."

Zheng Yuan stared at him: "Concubine Jing led someone to stab the queen, the evidence is solid, why did the king refuse to convict?!"

"There are still doubts in this case, and a hasty conviction will only let the real murderer go unpunished!"

Zheng Yuan sternly said: "A woman of unknown origin, why was she named Concubine Jing as soon as she came?"

"Could it be that the king canonize his concubine and come to ask the prime minister for instructions?"

"Kings!"

"Prime Minister!"

"Enough!" Zhaojun said angrily, "If the prime minister has nothing else to do, then step down. My king, I will stay with the queen here tonight until she wakes up."

"Resignation, old minister!" Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth and bowed, and walked away after speaking.

Sitting in the cell, Wei Ying didn't know whether it was day or night outside. She felt that she had been imprisoned for a long time, but no one brought water and food. Her belly was so hungry that she felt cold even more.

Not even with criminals.

"Hey! Is there anyone?" Wei Ying yelled while shaking the iron gate, but no one paid attention to her.

Wei Ying simply lay down on the straw pile.

Originally, what she thought was that if she left, the charge would be solidly charged, and if she stayed, even if she was put in prison with a bond, she would still have a chance to defend herself during the trial.She had already run away once before, but she couldn't tell if she ran again this time. If he believed her, he would definitely not let her go to jail, but thinking of how he left today, she felt chilling again.

Will he believe her?

Wei Ying closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.After an unknown amount of time, a sound was heard suddenly, the cell door was opened, and two guards picked her up from the ground and dragged her out.

Wei Ying opened her eyes sleepily: "Where are you taking me?"

"Your Excellency wants to interrogate you!" the jailer said.

"Arraignment? Now?" Although Wei Ying didn't know the exact time, she could feel that it was late at night.Why did she choose this point to interrogate her?Wei Ying was still thinking, when someone pushed her back a few times, she suddenly turned her head and gave him a look, "I will go by myself!"

Wei Ying put iron handcuffs on her hands, walked through a dark and gloomy corridor, turned a few turns, and was taken to a room full of torture instruments.

This room is in the deep part of the cell, there is a stove with a soldering iron, and a raging fire is burning inside, so Wei Ying felt a little warmer when she came here.

There is a wooden chair in the center of the room, and a table opposite. A fat man in a green official robe sits and dozes there. Judging from the style of the official robe, he should be the Minister of Dali Temple.

"My lord, we're here!" The jailer yelled loudly, and the fat man opened his eyes. Seeing Wei Ying coughed dryly and sat upright, Wei Ying yawned and folded her arms on the wooden chair. After sitting down, he lazily said: "Hey, you don't sleep at night!"

"presumptuous!"

Before the fat man could speak, a sharp-faced man standing beside him yelled fiercely at her.

Wei Ying immediately got annoyed, stared at him and said, "Go away, I'm a dignified Concubine Jing, what kind of onion are you?"

The sharp-faced man sneered: "Whoever you are, everyone who comes here is the same. People who come here may not be able to go out!"

"Hey, you are not afraid that I will go out and kill you."

"Okay!" The sharp-faced man wanted to say something, but the fat man coughed and said in a deep voice, "Master Shaoqing, let's start the trial now."

The sharp-faced man gave her a blank look, and said: "This is Dali Temple Minister Ye Yuanxin, Mr. Ye, you must tell the truth about everything I ask you below, otherwise, you will be punished. Next, Mr. Ye Start asking questions."

Ye Yuanxin said in a deep voice: "Concubine Jing, why did you assassinate the queen?"

"I didn't assassinate the empress queen, what happened is like this, you'd better write down every word I said now." Wei Ying said coldly, "I don't know that woman at all, I met her in the palace , She put the knife on my neck, and told me that the queen mother wants to see me, so I went with her, but I didn't expect that she would assassinate the queen."

"Did this court lady put a knife on your neck along the way?" Ye Yuanxin asked.

"No."

The master sneered, "You say that you are a dignified Concubine Jing, can you still be hijacked by a maid in the palace under the eyes of everyone?"
