That's a story for another time, so let's leave it at that.
The Vice Minister of Justice agreed without hesitation; nothing was more important than getting rid of Prince Ling, this formidable figure, as soon as possible.
Just when the Vice Minister of Justice thought Xie Jingyan was about to leave, Xie Jingyan confronted him, saying, "Regarding the case of the Prince of Yanping killing the son of the Princess of Huyang, I want to ask: the Prince of Yanping has confessed to his crimes, yet your Ministry of Justice still tortured him.
