After being missed by the villain in quick time travel

Chapter 70 The Small Prison Head’s Promotion (11)

Meeting three sharp gazes and three dignified faces, Ling Yao showed an honest look.

Not forgetting the symbolic scratching of the head.

"My lord, because my ability is mine, it's my business whether I want to show it to others or not. The grassroots really don't understand such a question." Ling Yao's tone was devout and serious, and he didn't give people a sense of contempt for the court.

On the contrary, he is straightforward and silly.

But everyone on the field is a genius.

In the officialdom, who doesn't have a few faces to fight against people in high positions?
When the jailer didn't kneel down when he saw them earlier, he could see that these were definitely not ordinary honest people.

As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials.

People are born with a little fear when they see officials.

Although the Yinyue Dynasty was just founded, Emperor Jianchang wanted to show the difference between our dynasty and the previous dynasty.

One of them is that for innocent people, even if they go to the hall, they only need to salute when they see the officials, and they don't need to kneel down.

However, there are still many honest people who have developed a habit of kneeling for a long time.

Seeing that the official does not kneel down, I feel guilty.

But the little jailer spoke with a straight back and a clear and clear appearance throughout the speech, neither humble nor overbearing.

It was as if she was not a small prison guard who didn't even have a formal official establishment, but a colleague who was on an equal footing with them.

But Dali Temple is not a small Ning'an county government office.

Those lined up on both sides are not ordinary government servants who serve as guards of honor for the county magistrate and frighten people, but soldiers who wear armor and carry knives at their waists, and even fought in real battles when the country was founded.

The one who interrogated her was not even a little Qipin county magistrate.

It's a person in power in the court who lives in the second and third ranks.

This calmness is rare even among those scholars who claim to be noble and upright.

The three people in the hall had different ideas. Some felt that they were being looked down upon, while others felt that Ling Yao was a talented person who might become a general.

However, their dissatisfaction with Ling Yao's answer was unified.

The prince was involved in this case, and the people in the entire royal city knew about it, and the emperor ordered them to investigate.

You have to figure out where you are in doubt.

"Xie Ling, you don't answer this question directly, but you are hiding something? So you dare not answer?"

Dali Siqing is still considering the words.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice couldn't help but interrupt.

Ling Yao looked at Master Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

"My lord, the grassroots did not hide anything, but since I founded the country to His Majesty the emperor, I have been diligent in governing and loving the people, with strict laws and regulations, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The grassroots have always obeyed the law. I have never encountered such cruelty as last night, ignoring the law. He is a vicious person who disregards human life, so the grassroots have no chance to show their skills."

Ling Yao's words were filled with righteous indignation and a bit of grievance.

The three people on the stage looked at each other in blank dismay.

What can they say?
The other party sang praises for the emperor.

All he had to say was that he was living in a peaceful and prosperous age of singing and dancing, He Qing and Hai Yan, and there was no need to show his physical strength.

If you continue to ask, isn't it just questioning the prosperity created by the emperor in the other party's mouth?
But Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice still didn't want to let Lingyao go easily.

"Xie Ling, can you explain the six corpses, why three of them were tortured inhumanely before they died, and no one was left alive?"

"My lord, Cao Min's thinking has always been to save His Highness the Crown Prince. The Cao Min has already said that because they wanted to kill Cao Min, the jailer who served with Cao Min, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and another prisoner, they had no choice but to kill them. "

"As for the three killers, Caomin's idea has always been to hand them over to the court for interrogation. They just knocked out their teeth because they were afraid that they would hide poison or kill themselves by biting their tongues. But I didn't expect that the villain behind them would make these killers so afraid When the grassroots were not prepared, the two broke free from the rope and committed suicide, and one of them crashed into the ground and died. He would rather commit suicide than be interrogated by the court, so please investigate clearly."

Ling Yao also said these words just now, although the order is different, but the general meaning is the same.

But the Minister of the Ministry of punishment did not buy it.

He was very displeased with this little jailer whose tone was respectful but whose attitude was always despising his authority.

He asked again: "Then how do you know that the person who was imprisoned by mistake is the prince?"

Dali Temple Minister wanted to stop the Ministry of Punishment.

Because after all, Xie Ling is the prince's savior, not a suspect.

But what Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked was also what he wanted to ask.

He didn't say anything to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yao's words caught everyone by surprise.

"The Caomin didn't know it at first, but fortunately, two months ago, the Caomin saved Dali Temple Shaoqing, Mr. Mu, near Mashi City in the south of the city. Mr. Mu thanked the Caomin for introducing me to Ning'an County as a jailer, so I was able to save the prince.

"And seven days ago, Mr. Mu passed by handling the case and asked about the situation of the county government. I told Mr. Mu about the situation in the death row. After hearing this, Mr. Mu looked serious and left in a hurry. Therefore, Caomin boldly judged that the people in the death row It may be that the status is not ordinary, so I paid more attention to it."

Dali Siqing's expression darkened upon hearing this.

"Mu Yihuai, can this happen?" Dali Temple Minister asked.

Mu Yihuai, who was originally listening, was suddenly named, and it was a little unexpected. He didn't expect Lingyao to say that.

He did know for a long time that Shen Jun was imprisoned by King Duan and transferred to Ning'an county prison.

They even sent people to track the process of the other party being transferred.

That's why he was absolutely sure that the person the emperor was looking for was in prison.

When he reported the matter, he guessed that the emperor might kill the prince together.

But now not only the killers sent by the emperor have all been wiped out.

The so-called "Shen Jun" who was imprisoned was just a mountain hunter who looked similar to the other party.

The matter was still full of troubles.

We all know that someone is going to kill the prince.

Presumably the emperor was already furious, and the fire would definitely burn on him, punishing him for failing to do things well.

But now for Ling Yao, if he can't give a reasonable explanation, it's not as simple as being unfavorable.

He will likely also lose the emperor's trust in him.

It will even arouse the emperor's suspicion of him.

Once the courtier arouses the suspicion of the emperor.

It was tantamount to hanging a knife over his head that could fall at any time.

However, no matter how complicated the thoughts in his heart were, when Mu Yihuai stood up, he did not panic and remained reasonable.

Because what matters is not what he says here.

It's about how to explain it when facing Emperor Jianchang.

Mu Yihuai first bowed to the three adults in the hall, before Mu Yihuai said: "But this happened. At that time, I followed the emperor's order to investigate a case secretly. I happened to pass by Ning'an County, so I met little brother Xie, but Brother Xie must have misunderstood, Mu has never been to the county prison, so how could he know that the person in the county prison is the crown prince, and give little brother Xie a reminder?"

Although how to say here is not the key.

But it must not be thought that he already knew that the person in the prison was the prince.

Otherwise, this is not to say that he did not report the knowledge.

Even insinuating that the one who sent someone to kill the prince was the emperor?

"Master Mu is right. At that time, I was only paying attention to Mr. Mu's expression. How could I forget such a crucial matter!"

Ling Yao immediately admitted that he was wrong, but knowing that what he said would be used as testimony to the dog emperor who wanted to kill him, Ling Yao did not forget to cause Mu Yihuai some trouble.

Who asked him to provoke Ling Yao?
