The Minister of Justice was shocked when he suddenly saw the Second Prince. Some time ago, he followed the orders of Prime Minister Wen to put the Mu family in prison. The royal family didn't say anything at that time. Why did the Second Prince suddenly rush over now?

"Your humble servant pays his respects to the Second Prince. I was unaware of his arrival and apologize for not coming to greet him. Your Highness, Prince Jing, please forgive me."

This young Minister of Justice has always been timid in his actions. If it were not for Wen Cheng's initial guarantee, he probably would not have been able to reach his current position.

So the way to deal with him is actually very simple, just use your power to suppress him.

"Minister of Justice, you are too slow. I have already arrived at your inner court, and you are just rushing here. How can I forgive you?"

For some inexplicable reason, he suddenly offended a prince. The Minister of Justice had a lot of questions in his head and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

"I beg Your Highness Prince Jing to forgive me. I was indeed unaware of your sudden arrival. I apologize to your Highness Prince Jing."

The second prince sneered and slammed his hand heavily on the tea table beside him.

"Minister of Justice, you should know that I came to you today not for a small courtesy. How is your investigation into the Mu family's affairs going?"

The Minister of Justice was stunned. The royal family had no opinion on this matter before, so what was happening now?

But the question is not what happened to them, but how should I answer them: do they want to get rid of the Mu family, or do they want to protect the Mu family? Or is it just a simple suppression?

For a moment, the Minister of Justice couldn't help but brainstorm, but still couldn't figure out what to do.

So I could only try to tell the truth.

"In reply to Prince Jing, apart from the dirty silver that was found in the Mu family, the rest of the people have refused to confess, and there are no witnesses to prove this matter."

The second prince smiled slightly and raised his hand to play with the ring in his hand.

"Minister of Justice, as an official in the capital, you must be more careful in what you do. After all, this world belongs to our Yaoguang clan, not the Wen family. If you follow the wrong master, you will lose more than just your head. Why do you think our father suddenly became seriously ill? Why do you think no one has taken action against the Mu family when they have been wronged for so long?"

Sometimes, there is no need to say much, just let them guess for themselves. Such timid people will inevitably think too much in their hearts, and sometimes things will be done better.

When it came time to give his confession, the Second Prince did not speak nonsense; he was just guessing on his own.

All in all, this Minister of Justice is a cannon fodder on the Wen family's side, and the same is true here.

After saying these words, the second prince stood up and left the Ministry of Justice, but he did not go through the main gate. He seemed to be very familiar with the home of the Minister of Justice and did not need anyone to show him the way, so he left through the side door.

The Minister of Justice who saw this scene felt that his death was imminent. He had been relying on the Wen family for so long, and now it seemed that he was being targeted by the royal family.

The attendants around him rushed over, saw their master sweating profusely, and raised their hands to support their master.

"Master, are you okay? How come you broke out in a cold sweat just by saying a few words?"

"Foolish, you fool, can't you see? The Second Prince is very familiar with our family. Maybe every word your master and I say is in front of him with our eyes closed!"

The followers below were indeed fools, and they still had the mind to make jokes at this time.

"Master's eyes can't hear you, at most he can just glance at you!"

The Minister of Justice was so angry that he was speechless. He pushed the attendant away, turned around and went out to the Ministry of Justice Prison.

When he hurried to the Ministry of Justice Prison, he felt like the sky was about to fall.

From what the second prince said just now, we can tell that the royal family still values ​​the Mu family very much.

But now the two young masters of the Mu family were almost beaten into bloody pieces, and he was in big trouble.

"General Mu, Lord Mu, I'm truly sorry. I was confused in my investigation and didn't discipline my subordinates. I haven't yet obtained sufficient evidence, and those under me were eager for quick success and resorted to torture. I just learned about it and rushed here in a hurry. I'm truly sorry."

A few days ago, the people from the Ministry of Justice were extremely vicious and wanted to beat people to death.

What's up with the Minister of Justice today? He controls the entire prison, so how could he not know whether his subordinates have been tortured?

But at least his life was saved. The Minister of Justice not only apologized, but also called a doctor to treat his injuries.

After their wounds were treated, they were even moved to a better cell and given food and wine.

At this time, General Mu was also brought over. Fortunately, General Mu had made great achievements and no one dared to attack him, otherwise Mu Lan would have dismantled the Ministry of Justice.

But General Mu couldn't help but frown when he looked at the clean and tidy cell and the food and wine on the table.

"What's going on? Which of you two has brought shame upon my Mu family?"

General Mu thought that his two sons received such good treatment because they complied with the other party's wishes, but after hearing this, the two brothers felt aggrieved.

"Dad, what are you talking about? How is this possible? We were both tied together, and we didn't say anything. And then we suddenly became like this. I don't know what the hell the Minister of Justice was thinking. He suddenly moved us here and called a doctor."

General Mu couldn't figure it out, but he knew that there must be someone outside helping him.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the three princes who have taken action. The court and harem must be in chaos right now. But because the princes didn't take care of the Mu family before, they allowed these villains to succeed. Now they have come to their senses."

General Mu and his eldest son thought about it and decided that this must be the reason, so without thinking too much, they picked up the wine and meat and started eating.

But Mu Chan was not completely relieved at the moment, and he didn't know how the imperial concubine and the little princess were doing.

While Mu Chan was thinking about the imperial concubine, the eldest prince was also trying to find a way to rescue her.

It’s a pity that a large number of people in this palace have been replaced, and the remaining people are really difficult to bribe.

He was also worried that if he had just exposed his purpose in the previous second, these people would become double agents and betray him in the next second, which would be troublesome.

So the actions were extremely slow. The imperial concubine waited for a long time in the place where she was imprisoned, but there was no other movement. She even suspected that the paper ball was her hallucination?

So the imperial concubine pretended to be sick, attracted some men, and killed them from the inner court.

"What do you want to do, Concubine Mu? Are you trying to turn the tables?"

The queen and her men surrounded the imperial concubine and scolded her angrily with a sullen face.
