Chapter 146 It's not impossible to commit crimes
However, Long Chengye subdued Cui Meng with just a few words. She could even conclude that Cui Meng would follow Long Chengye wholeheartedly in his life.

In order to wait for Cui Meng's wound to heal, Long Chengye stayed in Cui's residence overnight.

……

At this time, Zhang Xun, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was in the imperial study, asking Emperor Long'an for a solution to the case of the concubine Xian.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling is now in prison at the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I wonder if the Emperor wants her to be guilty or innocent?"

The evidence is clear that Concubine Xian was not killed by Concubine Ling.

But the real murderer was never found.

If you must say that the murderer is an accomplice of Ling Wangfei, it is not impossible to punish him.

Emperor Long An glanced at her lightly: "Princess Ling does not have to die, but you have to let her know that her life is pardoned by me."

Zhang Xun understood a little bit, he thought for a while, and asked: "Your Majesty, the existing evidence is more inclined to prove that Concubine Ling is innocent, if you want the Emperor to pardon her, she must first be guilty.

However, the Empress Dowager gave her a golden hairpin to save her life, and the ministers could not torture her. In this way, there would be no way to punish her for her crimes. "

Emperor Long'an's face darkened: "Zhang Xun, is it your first day to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? If you really have nothing to do, what do I want you to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment for?"

Zhang Xun broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I will do it now."

After leaving the palace and returning home, Zhang Xun couldn't sleep at all. He tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about how to punish Princess Ling. In the middle of the night, he finally thought of a way.

……

At the third watch, Long Chengye and Mu Qingyan came to Cui Meng's room again.

This time, what they saw was Cui Meng who was neatly dressed and ready to go.

Seeing Mu Qingyan, Cui Meng said gratefully: "Princess Ling is really a genius doctor, she has rejuvenated her hands wonderfully, and it really made my leg heal within two hours."

Seeing him standing up, Mu Qingyan was also very happy.

Long Chengye looked at Cui Meng and asked, "What will Master Cui do next?"

"The lower officials have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Penalties first. As for Princess Ling, I also ask His Highness King Ling to send her outside Dali Temple, and the lower officials will ask my confidantes to meet her there."

As he said that, he took out his waist badge: "The lower officer's waist badge is the proof."

Long Chengye nodded.

Before dawn, Long Chengye brought Mu Qingyan out.

As for Cui Meng, he immediately brought several subordinates to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, demanding that the criminal Mu Qingyan be interrogated overnight.

When he came, Zhang Xun just arrived.

When Zhang Xun saw Cui Meng, he couldn't help being stunned: "Didn't Master Cui hurt his leg and sued the emperor for leave? Why did you come to my prison in the middle of the night? I don't know why?"

Cui Meng bowed his hands to Dongfang: "Concubine Xian was assassinated, the emperor handed over the case to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Yushitai Division for joint trial. As the Minister of Dali Temple, how can I stay out of the matter?
In order to find out the truth as soon as possible and give the emperor an explanation, I can only come here as soon as possible and interrogate the criminals who are detained in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice as soon as possible. "

Zhang Xun had no choice, it was indeed the emperor's will, so he could only agree: "Okay, since that's the case, Master Cui will come with me."

The two of them, one behind the other, led their subordinates behind them to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

When the two came to the cell where Mu Qingyan was being held, both of them were shocked.

I saw a few jailers lying on the floor of the prison, and the door of the cell was opened, but there was no sign of a prisoner.

"Master Zhang, what's going on here? Where's the criminal?"

 This is to make up for yesterday, and I will update it tonight
