Zongzheng Fusu sneered, "Your Majesty, is my minister right?"
Emperor Ning's heart was shaken, and he went to see Concubine Xian again.
Concubine Xian was full of grievances, but she still didn't say a word.
"Your Majesty, this poison is called Duoming Powder." Dongfang Jing took a small piece from the bamboo slip, soaked it in water, and poured it into the fruit plate on the table on the spot. The ruddy apples in the fruit plate turned black in an instant.
Emperor Ning was dumbfounded.
"As the name suggests, it can take people's lives." Dongfang Jing said casually, "I heard... this is a drug commonly used by the Ministry of Punishment to extract confessions from prisoners."
"Nonsense!" Yu Chimo was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice has always been fair and strict in adjudicating cases. How can there be such a thing as extorting a confession?!"
"My wife said, I just 'heard', why is His Royal Highness so excited. Besides, even if the matter is true, it is also a matter of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, why should Your Highness confront me?" Dongfang Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Yuchi ink.
"Father, this..." Yu Chimo was wronged, he couldn't say Dongfang Jing.
Emperor Ning has been in charge of Chao Gang for many years, so he naturally knows that the Ministry of Punishment and Yu Chimo are inextricably linked. How could a mere concubine born a prince and not form a party for private interests win the position of the Eastern Palace? Emperor Ning knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly, so that the prince could establish his prestige in the court in the future, but now that the Ministry of Punishment is in trouble, he thinks he can't do anything about it!
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce." Xia Qinglan suddenly stood up.
"What's the matter, we'll talk about it later!" Emperor Ning snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the Ministry of Punishment! I believe that Your Majesty needs to know!" Xia Qinglan knelt down towards Emperor Ning.
"The Ministry of Punishments again?" Emperor Ning frowned, "Say it."
Xia Qinglan said, "Early this morning, seventeen people beat drums at the gate of Yecheng Mansion's Yamen to express their grievances, and jointly signed a letter..."
"Go on." Seventeen people, naturally it's not a small case.
"The seventeen people used to be family members of court officials, but these seventeen former court ministers were imprisoned for minor incidents. After being imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, they were interrogated to death. Now their family members jointly signed a letter to seek justice for their men!" Xia Qing Lan raised his head, "This matter has a great impact, and the whole teahouse in Yecheng is spreading rumors, saying that the Ministry of Punishment..."
"What about the Ministry of Punishment?" Emperor Ning frowned.
"The Ministry of Punishment is hell on earth! Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, as long as you enter the Ministry of Punishment, you will only die! Instead of suffering, it is better to simply plead guilty by yourself, and you can die more happily!" Xia Qinglan said again, "Your Majesty knows that this year The test results have come down..."
"What does the Ministry of Punishment have to do with scientific research?" Emperor Ning's expression became increasingly ugly.
Xia Qinglan then went on to say, "After the second place in the scientific examination last year, Tanhua won fame, and within three months of being an official, he was imprisoned for a literary case. Within three days, he hanged himself in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is rumored among the people that this It was they who offended someone and refused to surrender, that's why they ended up like this. This year's number one scholar in the scientific examination actually left Beijing because of this, unwilling to accept His Majesty's conferment!"
"There is such a thing?!" Emperor Ning was dumbfounded when he heard it, the veins on his forehead jumped, and his anger was full.
This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that the number one scholar in the scientific examination has resigned!
"Isn't it? If you don't resign now, is it possible to wait for others to deal with it?" Zongzheng Fusu chuckled, "Not everyone can bear the punishment of the Ministry of Punishment!"
