late night song

Chapter 57
On the second day, Qi Ji did not enter the palace and established himself in the early court, and Emperor Ming did not mention him at all.The ministers all suspected that Emperor Ming might have recalled the past and even vented his anger on King Qin.

At the same time, Dali Temple also secretly reported the progress of the Glazed Golden Pagoda case to Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming ordered the ministers of Dali Temple to interrogate the jade cong, brocade and silk as well.

The queen also expected that Mo Huai Gong would not be so easily involved in framing Prince Rong, so she also sent spies to search for the whereabouts of Mo Huai Gong's family. However, after searching for two days, there was no clue at all, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Ning Wangben also spread the crime of Chang Xinyi in the old case everywhere, so that Emperor Ming could remember the past and prevent Qi Jian from turning over.

But Dali Temple suddenly captured Mo Huai Gong at this time, and he was extremely anxious about this. Fortunately, he had already made preparations to take the lives of Mo Huaigong's family and his family and hold his fate.

But the whole world knows that Dali Temple's methods are ruthless. If Mo Huai Gong can't bear the torture, what should we do if we recruit him?There were also counselors who advised him that he should quickly find a way to kill the imprisoned person. If he died without any evidence, he would not be able to blame him.

But King Ning thought that he should not act rashly. If Mo Huai Gong survived, he would only add another layer to the problem and give him the advantage in vain.

So, he just ordered a jailer to tie the bell of Mo Huaigong's youngest daughter on his wrist, and gave him some tips while packing up the torture instruments, warning him to watch his tongue, otherwise the lives of his family would be in danger.

But what if Mo Huai Gong still can't survive?

The more Prince Ning thought about it, the more uneasy he became. It was too dangerous for his family and life to depend on this person. For two days, he did not close his eyes for a moment.

On the third day, the informant in prison sent a message, and Mo Huai Gong seemed to be willing to relent. The minister of Dali Temple specially ordered the doctor to treat his injuries. King Ning was shocked, so he thought of making a desperate move, and then he took action. Thoughts of killing.

At that time, in the prison of Dali Temple, You Shaoqing was still interrogating Duke Mo Huai.

Strangely enough, the Dali Temple case has always been solved in one go, but this time the case involved the royal reputation, but the rules were relaxed, and it seemed that there was no rush.

No, there was no conclusion this night, so You Shaoqing also left work early to rest.

The minister of Dali Temple also knew that this case was of great importance. Although he had the tacit approval of Emperor Ming, if he did not rely on evidence and relied on Mo Huai Gong's confession to accuse Prince Ning, then Prince Ning would be defeated. If he was lucky enough to escape, then He had offended King Ning's party just because of this. If the case was overturned later, it would appear that he was unfair and incompetent.

So, he just dragged on the case and was not in a hurry to extract a confession.During the day, they only leave the prisoners somewhere to hang out, deliberately leaving opportunities for those who are interested, but they also send people to keep an eye on them secretly at all times, just in case they can get some clues.

After several days of perseverance under heavy pressure, the guilty man finally took action.

During the day, a jailer was cleaning the execution platform. When no one was around, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, opened it and released a poisonous scorpion.The poisonous scorpion was bloodthirsty and crawled along the fishy smell emanating from Mo Huai Gong's body.

He was about to bite Mo Huai Gong who was sleeping on the execution platform. At this critical moment, a hidden weapon only hit the poisonous scorpion.

You Shaoqing led a group of people to meet each other. When the jailer saw what had happened, he was panicked. He knew that the torture in Dali Temple was extremely cruel and he must not be able to bear it, so he took the poison he had prepared long ago in desperation. Die by suicide.

Although the clue was broken, You Shaoqing did not feel regretful, but quickly ordered people to pour cold water on Mo Huai Gong to wake him up, and immediately interrogated him.

After Mo Huai Gong woke up, he was greatly alarmed when he saw that the jailer who vomited blood and died was the one who had warned him the day before.

"Hey, it seems you recognize him." You Shaoqing said while sipping tea.

Mo Huai Gong tilted his head, closed his eyes, and still didn't speak.

"It's all set. You are also a good fortune teller today. If it weren't for our adults' ability to cross the enemy at a hundred steps, I'm afraid you would have died in the hands of that poisonous creature."

The jailer on the side flattered You Shaoqing, and then Mo Huai Gong opened his eyes, took a closer look at the corpse at his feet and the scorpion under the dart, and made a distinction in his heart.

"After being locked up in this prison for several days, your real master not only did not come to save you, but instead ordered someone to silence you. What else do you have to do for him? I advise you to confess as early as possible to save yourself from being tortured again." It's bitter." You Shaoqing said divisively.Mo Huai Gong thought about it carefully and saw that there were deaths on both sides, so he was not in a hurry to speak.

"I asked if your brain was eaten by a dog. Is this a crime that you alone can resist? You can save the lives of a whole family for a while, but can you save them for a lifetime? If you are convicted of this, then you Family members are also involved. At worst, the whole family will be executed, at worst, the men will be exiled to the border, and at the worst, the female family members will be stuffed into official kilns for people to play with. Can you really bear this?!"

Seeing that he was unmoved, You Shaoqing continued: "Our Lord has always been benevolent. If you are willing to confess and help Sir settle this case quickly, you can also help you to ask for mercy from the Holy One. You will be included in the amnesty list." It's not difficult to get a few people in, so you can think of yourself, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop."

You Shaoqing pointed out the key point carefully, and then waved his men to pretend to withdraw.

Seeing everyone leaving, Mo Huai Gong sighed deeply and said in a hoarse voice: "Prince Ning, it was Prince Ning who instigated me to find someone to pretend to be a bandit and took the opportunity to assassinate the Japanese envoy, and also broke into the Forbidden Army headquarters at night to steal Get the Glazed Golden Pagoda and blame it on King Rong."

"What about the jade cong, silk and silk?" You Shaoqing continued to cross-examine with great enthusiasm.

"This matter has nothing to do with me." Mo Huai Gong denied it.

"You should think it over carefully. The amnesty list is not written on paper at the entrance of the government office. You can add as many words as you want." You Shaoqing didn't speak clearly, but he still had enough weight.

Mo Huai Gong hesitated for a long time. He knew very well that if the east wind did not overwhelm the west wind, he would really have no use value.

"It was Prince Ning who ordered me to secretly put it into the Japanese gift." He gritted his teeth and jumped in without hesitation even though he knew it was a trap.

After getting this confession, the minister of Dali Temple immediately went to the palace to present it to Emperor Ming. With Emperor Ming's approval, Dali Temple immediately carried out the imperial order to search Prince Ning's palace.

Prince Ning's Mansion was caught off guard, but with the emperor's order in hand, no one dared to make a mistake and had no choice but to cooperate obediently.

Strange to say, the official did not search for anything else, but took away all the manuscripts and books in the palace, including those in Zhao Jingyun's room.

Later, Prince Ning's mansion was sealed, and the people who were waiting were not allowed to leave the mansion. Zhao Yunjing was frightened, crying and didn't know what to do. Prince Ning was also panicked, thinking that he must have been betrayed by Mo Huaigong, but he didn't know that he was also forced to falsely detain him. What a treasonous crime.

In the Xingxin Hall, there is a book placed on Emperor Ming's desk. The paper has turned yellow and the seal has been opened. The plum blossom pattern on the silk is dim, but it is still exquisite.

There is nothing rebellious in this book. It is just a copy of some common poems about plum blossoms, and Emperor Ming was very familiar with these poems.

"Jiangnan has nothing, let's talk about a spring."

"The jade bones are filled with mist and mist, and the ice posture is filled with fairy wind."

"The Jade Tower and the Golden Tower will go back lazily, and the plum blossoms will make Luoyang drunk."

"The shadows are sloping and the water is clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats at dusk."

"The pavilions on the road are beautiful, and the clothes are fragrant at the wrong time. Su'e is only with the moon, and the young girl is not happy."

His Xinyi loves plum blossoms the most. She used to recite these poems in front of him, and then play the piano to match the music. She couldn't control her joy.

At that time, the years were quiet, and even in the cold winter, every day was so warm.
