Mo Junyu held the confession in hand and stared at Liu Changqing for a long time, speechless.
Liu Changqing didn't seem to notice Mo Junyu's difficulty at all. He just lowered his eyes and didn't answer or give a step to His Majesty the Emperor.
Mo Junyu had no choice but to change the subject vaguely: "Who is the person who reported it?"
"Excuse me, just ordinary civilians."
Mo Junyu caught this and snarled: "He said that ordinary people are ordinary people. Who knows if someone deliberately framed the ministers of the court? He just tortured the ministers of the court at will without even checking the source of the clues. I look at you. The Minister of Dali Temple doesn’t need to do this anymore!”
Ling Shan and Ling Kexiong had already confessed, but they had the nerve to say that they were 'deliberately framed', and in the end they accused Liu Changqing of improper official duties. This is simply nonsense!
But the person who spoke was Mo Junyu. Even if Liu Changqing had ten thousand words in his heart that could be used to reply, he could not say a single word.
Liu Changqing was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Wei Chen didn't mention Dali Temple's investigation methods just now. How did your majesty conclude that Wei Chen had surrendered?"
Of course, this is what I just learned from Ling Chen.
But Mo Junyu couldn't say that, so he had to say casually: "If you didn't torture them, how could they confess so quickly?"
"Of course it's because they had a guilty conscience. It's not surprising that they admitted to the wrong things they had done under interrogation at Dali Temple."
Liu Changqing returned the words with all his strength.
Before Mo Junyu could say anything else, he took the initiative to produce evidence: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the prison to check. The two adults are absolutely intact now."
Mo Junyu: "..."
He knew that Liu Changqing must be completely confident that he could say such things.
In other words, Ling Chen's so-called discovery of the truth is probably false news spread deliberately by someone.
Judging from the current situation, the purpose is self-evident - to put pressure on Ling Chen and make her enter the palace to seek help.
Looking at what has happened these days, it is naturally clear who this person is who is hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the current situation!
Mo Junyang!
Mo Junyu uttered that person's name in his heart and became extremely angry.
But at this time, Liu Changqing was still asking: "Your Majesty, the evidence that Ling Shan and Ling Kexiong have neglected their duties and committed corruption and perverting the law has been initially formed. What should I do next
Should we decide the case directly based on the existing evidence, or continue to pursue the case? "
The two choices are just a matter of time before the two adults will be convicted.
With such clear evidence, even if Mo Junyu wanted to cover up and turn a blind eye, it might be difficult to do so.
Unless he directly confiscated the confessions, pretended they didn't exist, and ordered Liu Changqing to let the two people go.
Otherwise this matter will never be over.
But Mo Junyu can't do this!
He is the emperor of Da Mo. Even though he has supreme power, he cannot abuse it wantonly.
If he really went so far in his protection, not only would he be unable to convince the public, but he might even chill the hearts of loyal ministers.
After all, Liu Changqing was indeed doing official business and had never framed a good person, but was clearly targeted in the investigation of the case.
But there’s nothing wrong with that.
Mo Junyu thought about it, but couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
And if you think about this matter carefully, you will understand that Mo Junyang deliberately caused trouble for him.
In other words, he was demonstrating to them.
Because they trapped Shi Qingxue in the harem.
"Liu Aiqing, you just arrested those two people yesterday, but in just one day, you directly confirmed their charges. Isn't it too rash? Or, is there any hidden secret in this?"
Mo Junyu asked without giving up, his words were a bit ambiguous, just to see if Liu Changqing had any room for change
However, Liu Changqing was like a mallet and said blankly: "If Your Majesty feels that the evidence is not sufficient, I can immediately order people to continue the investigation. I believe it will not take long to complete the evidence."
After that, he also emphasized: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that Dali Temple always attaches great importance to facts when handling cases and does not approve of beatings into submission. There will definitely be no unjust, false or wrongful convictions or things contrary to the facts."
Liu Changqing was left to finish the words alone, and Mo Junyu was stunned but couldn't find any room for hints.
Mo Junyu secretly cursed this Dali Temple minister as a fool who didn't know how to look at others.
But at the same time, he became more and more certain that Liu Changqing was Mo Junyang's person, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence that he would bite the Ling family at this time and not let go.
For a moment, Mo Junyu really wanted to let go. Regardless of Ling Shan and Ling Kexiong, they both deserved to die anyway.
Mo Junyang couldn't help but take action now, which proved the importance of Shi Qingxue to him.
Mo Junyu didn't want to let go of such a good handle because of two losers.
However, before he made a decision, Aunt Chang walked out on the other end.
Aunt Chang is the old man next to Ling Ruiyin. She has been serving Ling Ruiyin since she was a child. Unlike ordinary servants, she often represents Ling Ruiyin.
She walked slowly to Mo Junyu, carefully poured a cup of tea for Mo Junyu, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, the empress said that lotus heart is added to this tea. Although it is bitter, it is essential. I hope your majesty will taste it carefully." .”
Lotus heart, connected heart.
Isn't this Ling Ruiyin reminding Mo Junyu that we are still a family after all, broken bones are connected to the heart, and we can't give up no matter what.
Mo Junyu finally came up with the idea and suppressed it.
You can't abandon Lingshan and Ling Kexiong, which means you can only compromise like Mo Junyang.
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly felt as if a breath was being blocked in his chest and he could not swallow it. It could almost suffocate him to death.
After a while, Mo Junyu said to Liu Changqing with a calm face: "Go back and tell Crown Prince Mo that you will come to pick up his Crown Princess back to your home early tomorrow morning!"
"This..." Liu Changqing's face showed surprise, as if he didn't understand why they suddenly mentioned Shi Qingxue when they were talking about important matters in the court
Mo Junyu smiled coldly and had no intention of arguing with Liu Changqing anymore. He said bluntly: "What should you do? It's up to you, Dali Temple, to decide! I believe Prince Mo will not let me down!"
Liu Changqing also wanted to argue that this case belonged to him in Dali Temple and had nothing to do with Prince Mo. However, seeing Mo Junyu's livid face, he wisely shut his mouth and nodded obediently: "Yes, Wei Chen resigned. .”
As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Mo Junyu again.
"Liu Aiqing, I hope you remember, whose world this is, and who should you be loyal to?" Mo Junyu pointed out.
Liu Changqing said in his heart that his allegiance was to the Mo royal family. As long as the person sitting on the dragon throne was named Mo, it didn't matter what his name was.
And, identity aside. He also felt that maybe if there was someone else on the dragon throne, the world of Da Mo would be more beautiful.
However, such words would be too rebellious, so Liu Changqing did not say anything, but bowed to Mo Junyu again and responded sincerely: "I will remember what your majesty said."
After Liu Changqing left the courtyard, Ling Ruiyin came out with others and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, how is the matter?"
Mo Junyu rubbed his forehead tiredly and sighed: "I have already said that Crown Princess Rui will return to the palace tomorrow. As for other things, I believe Crown Prince Mo will do it."
Everyone present was not an idiot. As soon as they heard this, they knew that Mo Junyu was under pressure and had no choice but to compromise with Mo Junyang and let Shi Qingxue go.
Even though it was a certainty that Ling Shan and Ling Kexiong had committed corruption and perverted the law, no one felt that they should be punished, and Qingxue was originally unkind when they were imprisoned.
Liang Yuanming even pointedly said: "It is said that Prince Mo is very capable and can do whatever he wants. I was a little skeptical before, but now I know that his reputation is well-deserved!"
Mo Junyu glared at Liang Yuanming and snorted angrily: "Don't forget, Liang Xiang, Liang Shangshu is also being targeted by Prince Mo. I can save the Ling family for once, but I may not be able to save it. Liang Shangshu…”
The expression on Liang Yuanming's face froze and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Ling Ruiyin saw something was wrong in the atmosphere and said, "Okay, it's not too early now. If nothing happens, you can all go back! The Yi family still has something to say to His Majesty."
"yes!"
Everyone looked at each other and resigned knowingly.
After everyone left, the toughness that Mo Junyu had just pretended suddenly leaked out, and his face was full of irritation, "Grandma, we finally got Shi Qingxue in our hands, and we have to kill him after only a few days." Send it back, this..."
Ling Ruiyin patted the back of Mo Junyu's hand comfortingly, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. The Ai family thought it was wrong before, thinking that holding Qingxue in their hands would threaten Prince Mo. Now it seems that Prince Mo really values it. Qingxue, but he is definitely not a person willing to be manipulated by others.
Moreover, he has a lot of cards in his hand, and he can catch us off guard with one move. We should not alert him easily! "
Mo Junyu snorted unhappily: "Then we have to listen to him easily? In this case, where is the royal family's face?"
Thinking of Liang Yuanming's cynicism just now, Mo Junyu got angry.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of face.
If they hadn't trapped Shi Qingxue before, it might not be a big deal for them to compromise like Mo Junyang.
The current situation clearly requires them to give back all the meat they put into their mouths.
For Mo Junyu, it was like a slap in the face!
Ling Ruiyin comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Prince Mo has succeeded a little this time, his ambition has been exposed. As for who will win and who will lose in the future, it is still unknown, so you really don't have to worry.
Besides, if we put Qingxue back now, what will happen is still unknown.
Maybe, this will be more beneficial to us? ! "
Mo Junyu's eyes moved and he asked: "How do you say this?"
"Now we all know how important Qingxue is to Prince Mo, but how Qingxue himself considers this matter is still unknown."
Ling Ruiyin said with a meaningful smile on her face, "Qingxue is just a little girl, innocent and innocent. She still needs someone to guide her very often!"
