Simple?
No one thought this matter was simple, and no one knew what Mr. Qin meant by simple.
But they soon found out the answer.
"Since you all have no problem, then the problem is with the special envoy we sent. Which noble family is that special envoy from?"
"Reporting to the Lord, the treason came from my Feng family. I never expected that we could only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. This man had evil ambitions and was immediately expelled from my Feng family."
A member of the Feng family from the Ministry of Justice quickly stepped forward.
Lord Qin's words made him unable to laugh, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"The Feng family, that's it. Since there is nothing wrong with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, then there must be something wrong with your Feng family."
"Sir, this statement is a bit arbitrary. That guy has lost much contact with our Feng family. We don't know that he could do such a thing. Our Feng family has been blessed by the emperor for generations. It is impossible for him to do such a thing."
Qin Xu looked at the Ninth Prince and gave him a look.
The Ninth Prince also came to his senses.
This is going to start right away, and the Feng family must be dragged into the water first.
Is this the correct way to handle a major case?
The first step is so exciting.
He's a little excited. What's going on?
"Bang!" The table was smashed to pieces.
Qin Xu held his hands in the air and looked at the Ninth Prince resentfully, “Why don’t you let me bring the tea?”
The monks were also shocked.
"It's not you, and it's not him, so could it be me? I killed myself? Ridiculous!"
"Your Highness, calm down."
The officials all advised.
Qin Xu spoke at the right time, "Your Highness, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it."
"explain!"
"This trial is a process of elimination. Eliminate the impossible. In the end, no matter how outrageous it is, it will be the truth."
"We all know that you are not the murderer. There is no reason in this world for someone to kill himself."
"The real murderer or one of the instigators must be one of the three parties under the hall. Now all three parties say it is not them, and they have reasons and evidence. I think..."
"It might be a conspiracy between three parties!"
"Nonsense, it's ridiculous, Your Highness, this person is misleading people with his lies, he is definitely not a good person, I now suspect he is a demon cultivator!"
"Your Highness, he is anxious. How can a doctor in the Ministry of Justice know how to judge a case? I suggest that they be thoroughly investigated!"
"Your Highness, I, the Ministry of Personnel, have been greatly wronged."
"Your Highness, I, the Ministry of Rites, am more wronged."
Then the two looked at each other.
"In my opinion, what Lord Qin said is correct. The Feng family is indeed suspicious."
"That's right. Since he is from the Feng family, it's not a bad idea to investigate him."
"You...you guys..."
They heard that someone had to vent the Ninth Prince's anger today. It would rather the death of a fellow Taoist than the death of an insolent Taoist.
That Lord Qin was really insidious. He had drawn the scope between the three of them and the ninth prince.
Not to mention anything else, there is no room for maneuver.
Although the two people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel have big bosses behind them, they do not have powerful families.
The Feng family is a family that founded a dynasty.
Of course they are not afraid of this, but their bodies cannot bear it, as to whether they will retaliate.
Who would have thought that instead of being the Ninth Prince's punching bag, he might end up dragging down his colleagues and even his family would be affected.
What's revenge?
What's more, they really don't dare to take the crime of assassinating the prince.
The two of them did not expect it to be so dangerous. This is not what the masters said when they came.
The Ninth Prince would at most give him a light punishment and a severe warning, and that would be enough to vent his anger.
But judging from the meaning, it doesn't seem to be what was expected.
"Okay, now that the two criminals have pointed it out, it will be easy to deal with."
Before they could react, Qin Xu spoke first to make a judgment.
Then he activated the formation and suppressed Feng Xianyi, a doctor from the Ministry of Justice.
Unexpectedly, there was a surprise that gave him room for advancement.
"Come here, bring the criminal to me, take him away, I will personally interrogate him later."
"Is the supervisor available?"
"The monitor is here."
"Go and arrest all the direct descendants of the Feng family below the Nascent Soul stage." After saying this, he took the seal from the Ninth Prince and issued an order.
"Uh, yes, sir."
Something big is going to happen!
This is the consensus of all officials present!
The monks looked at the Ninth Prince on the stage, thinking that he could stop it.
The Ninth Prince, who had been furious just a moment ago, lowered his head in just a moment, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Your Highness...Your Highness?" the eunuch called softly twice.
"Hmm? Alas, the injuries are serious and sometimes my mind can't keep up. Are you done with the interrogation?"
"Your Highness, the interrogation is over. We will go to the prison in a while. You can see..."
"I won't go. I'm going back to recuperate. It's not easy to hold on for so long today. Let's go. I'll leave the rest to you."
After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, he left the hall with the eunuchs.
By the time everyone reacted, the figure was no longer visible.
Is this a body that has not yet recovered from a serious injury?
Faster than them all!
Qin Xu was still sitting on the stage, looking at the officials below who were scratching their heads and wanted to laugh.
They wanted to get out as soon as possible and report what happened here to the masters behind them.
As for trying to guess the Ninth Prince's intentions, they would naturally not do that.
Just do your role as a messenger well. The more you do, the more mistakes you will make.
"Someone come."
"I am here."
"Take these two gentlemen and go with me to interrogate Feng Xianyi."
"yes."
Zou Wanming and Guan Zhengyan were both extremely unwilling to do this. There was no benefit in getting involved in this matter.
But there was no way out. The two of them were now sinners and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
......
The lobby of the Ministry of Personnel.
"My lord, this is what happened."
"The Ninth Prince still has some quick wits. Let him do what he wants. The Holy Emperor has issued his will and the officials agree. We can just watch and see."
His focus was on the Ninth Prince.
It was a good thing for him that he could think of this method, find a scapegoat in advance, and declare war on this family.
The position of Minister of Personnel is not an easy one to hold.
If he couldn't get or exchange for a huge amount of cultivation resources, he really wouldn't be willing to sit in this position.
He was secretly pressured by those noble families and squeezed by his colleagues in the court. He had to take into account the interests of all parties, maintain a balance, and also consider the attitude of the Holy Emperor.
Sometimes he also had to be careful not to be caught by the monks who coveted his position.
Trembling with fear, treading on thin ice.
It would be a good thing for him to divert the attention of the aristocratic families now.
There are several other senior officials who hold similar views to him.
They all chose to remain silent.
They were happy to see the Ninth Prince taking action against the aristocratic families, and the other princes were also happy to see it.
Even some aristocratic families were happy to see it.
After all, the four great families that founded the dynasty occupied too many resources.
On the floating island, in the majestic palace.
The Holy Emperor was half-lying on the throne in a lazy manner.
Below are several fairies dancing gracefully.
"Saint Emperor, His Majesty the Ninth Prince seems to have taken action against the Feng family."
"Not wise."
"Do you think you should intervene?"
"Let him be. No matter how he does it, just cooperate with him as much as you can. Just don't die."
"yes."
"Have you found the person behind that incident?"
A very casual question.
"It was cut very cleanly. The inspectors didn't notice anything."
"The Nascent Soul cultivator that was sent over, find a reason to send him to the border and tell my cousin that I don't like this cultivator."
"In compliance with the Holy Emperor's order."
After there was no one else in the hall, the Holy Emperor sighed.
I feel a little sad.
I silently asked myself, "Why did you come back?"
After standing up, he walked towards the harem with that expectant and obscene expression on his face again.
