"Well, let's go now without further delay!"
After being praised by Xing Bang, the Sixth Prince Liu Jing felt full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Xing Bang felt relieved when seeing this. Liu Xian's only two sons were very close to him. Isn't that infuriating?
Then, a group of three people and a dozen palace soldiers set off towards the Ministry of Justice.
The reason why Xing Bang chose Cui Sheng's crazy wife as the breakthrough point is that since it has been determined that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was haunted just to cover up the truth, the reason why Mrs. Cui went crazy is strange, so he can only start from her.
PS: Looking at the comments, there are some big shots saying that this crazy lady is Nangong Xue, and some say it is Bai Rushuang. I really want to beat you to death. What do you think?
Ministry of Justice.
"Sir Wu, this time His Majesty has ordered the Sixth Prince to preside over this case. His Majesty has given the Sixth Prince such trust, which not only makes the Empress happy, but also makes me, his uncle, happy. So I ask you to fully cooperate with His Majesty."
Xiao Shizhong pretended to be deaf and dumb during the morning court session and did not say a word. After the court session, he visited the Ministry of Justice.
"Brother Xiao, rest assured. Everyone in the capital knows that the Sixth Prince has changed his temperament. Even you, Sir Xiao... ahem, I dare not neglect him in public or in private."
The Minister of Justice Wu Jingzhi was slightly embarrassed. He did not mean to bring up this matter, he just said it casually. He was thankful that his concubine was sick and did not go that day, otherwise he would have been beaten like Xiao Shizhong. He could not help but want to laugh when he mentioned this.
Who in the capital city wouldn't laugh when he heard this? The Sixth Prince beat his uncle in public for the sake of justice...
"You...you people only know one side of the story. The Sixth Prince is my nephew. How could such a thing happen? I left him there on purpose. Otherwise, the Sixth Prince would not be so favored by His Majesty now. Compared with the Sixth Prince's future, this little face as his uncle is nothing. It won't cost me my life."
Xiao Shizhong pretended to be like this to save face, but now he felt so embarrassed when he thought about this incident that he felt painful.
"Yes, yes, Master Xiao is wise!"
Wu Jingzhi had no intention of bringing it up, so he naturally wouldn't care about it, not to mention that the two of them were good friends who shared the same interests.
"Okay, let's get back to the point. I won't beat around the bush in front of you. The Sixth Prince is young and a bit straightforward, so it's inevitable that he will not think things through. After all, Prime Minister Cui is the prime minister of the dynasty. I hope you can give him some advice. No matter what, this is an offensive matter..."
"I understand what Lord Xiao means. I guess it has nothing to do with Prime Minister Cui, right?"
Although Wu Jingzhi was not clear about the ins and outs of the matter, he vaguely felt that this matter might be related to Cui Sheng. This was also the reason why he shirked the case. Who would be willing to do such an offensive job?
At the same time, he also understood that the reason he was advising the Sixth Prince was to say hello to Cui Sheng. Everyone knew how that bastard Cui Sheng got the position of Right Prime Minister...
Wu Jingzhi also coveted the position of right prime minister, but who could blame Cui Wugui for having a good concubine who was good at taking care of things?
Anyone with a discerning eye in the capital city knows these things...
"Master Wu, please stop joking. Although I have a good relationship with Prime Minister Cui, it is not up to me to decide whether I have a relationship with him or not. However, I certainly believe that I have no relationship with him. Well, let's not talk about these irrelevant things. It's not appropriate to stay for long, so I'll take my leave first."
"Don't worry, Sir Xiao. With our friendship, I will definitely not stand idly by if I can help."
"Thank you very much, goodbye!"
Not long after Xiao Shizhong left, Xing Bang and his group came over.
"Your subordinates greet His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, the Imperial Envoy!"
Shangshu Wu Jingzhi, the left vice minister, the right vice minister and other higher-ranking officials all arrived at the lobby.
"I don't have anything important to do. I just came here to learn about the case. This case is causing a lot of uproar in the capital. I hope you can help me solve the case as soon as possible!"
"Oh, by the way, the person next to me is my assistant in solving this case. You all went to meet me outside the city when the smallpox happened, so I won't introduce you in detail. I just want to make one point here. In this case, the little stick man's words represent me, and none of you should neglect them."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Although the officials of the Ministry of Justice, headed by Wu Jingzhi, felt some contempt for Xing Bang in their hearts, they did not dare to talk back on the surface.
The Sixth Prince felt a little stretched when he put out the Xing Stick, and his eyes looked at the Xing Stick.
"Minister Wu, your Highness and I are not very clear about the case. Please tell us!"
Xing Bang looked at Wu Jingzhi with a smile.
"Come here, present the files transferred from Shuntian Prefecture to His Highness and Eunuch Xing for their review."
Wu Jingzhi waved his hand and continued, "Your Highness, I have read the files. I only know that they are all young female corpses, and they have been dead for about a year..."
"Master Wu seems to have missed a very important piece of information?"
Xing Bang thought to himself that he was really an old fox, saying nothing but useless nonsense.
"Oh, what Eunuch Xing reminded me of is that you have a bad memory. Also, Prime Minister Cui once lived at the place where the crime occurred for a while, but he moved away because of rumors of ghosts..."
Wu Jingzhi quickly added in a pretentious manner that his attitude was to just deal with it and laugh it off. As for Xiao Shizhong's instructions, because of the existence of the Xing stick, he could only treat it as nonsense. Everyone knew that the Sixth Prince's affairs in the Jiaofangsi were the work of this eunuch behind the scenes.
"Your Highness, I heard from Lord Wu that Prime Minister Cui is the most suspicious at the moment. It seems that there are no other clues. So let's follow Lord Wu's suggestion and go to Prime Minister Cui first."
"Okay, let's do it!"
Liu Jing glanced at Wu Jingzhi and saw his face turn green. He couldn't help but laugh, then he slammed the table and agreed.
Wu Jingzhi looked miserable, thinking that he had been tricked by this eunuch. He had clearly planned it, but suddenly he became the villain...
Xing Bang certainly did it on purpose. Wu Jingzhi was an old fox who was good-for-nothing and didn't want to be his friend. Why should he keep him around if he could attack him?
Sooner or later, these six ministries and nine officials will have their own people...
"Alright, my Lords, you will stay in the Ministry of Justice and be assigned by the Sixth Prince."
Then, Xing Bang and the Sixth Prince Liu Jing and his entourage left the Ministry of Justice.
"This eunuch is too arrogant. He simply doesn't take us seriously. How despicable!"
"Yeah, let's just forget about it. You're so disrespectful to Lord Wu."
"Shut up, huh, a bunch of hindsighters. Why didn't you stand up for justice just now? Go, go back and do your business!"
Wu Jingzhi became even angrier when he looked at his subordinates. They were all damn useless and only good in bed.
…
Xing Bang and his party soon arrived at Cui's house.
"Your Highness, the door looks like it has just been cleaned. It seems that Mr. Cui knows we are coming, but I don't know if we can meet his wife..."
