"minister……"
Before he could even utter the word "obey my order", Emperor Jing spoke again, "Forget it, no need to bring it. I will directly hand over the matter of the child to your Ministry of Justice. I want to know the whereabouts of the child when I go to court tomorrow."
Minister Wang and Minister Mu looked at each other in silence and said in unison, "We obey your order."
Contrary to his usual practice, as the matter was so urgent, Emperor Jingdi only explained the matter and then ordered the court to be adjourned.
When Baili Feiyue saw Shangshu Wang and Shilang Mu appearing in front of her, she laughed with an ambiguous meaning.
"My two lords, you are so busy outside, how come you have time to come and see me?"
Minister Wang waved his hand and asked the jailer to open the iron gate.
The two walked in and found a place to sit down.
"Miss Ling San, can you guess why we are here?"
Baili Feiyue said innocently, "Sir Shangshu, you are making things difficult for me. I am staying in this prison, and I don't know what day it is. How can I guess your purpose?"
"Yeah."
"yes."
Minister Wang would not fall for her tricks, "You really don't know the whereabouts of the young master of Southern Xinjiang, Yin?"
Baili Feiyue also took a stance, "Sir, to be honest, I did know the whereabouts before. Now, I don't know. As long as the person with the child doesn't come to find me, I won't be able to find his whereabouts. So where..."
He spread his hands and said, "I'm afraid our Emperor will be disappointed. I really don't know anything about this child."
Minister Wang said meaningfully, "Don't you know what's going on outside? Why are you saying that?"
"Hahaha, sir, that was just a joke. I'm in your Ministry of Justice, and what happened around me, how could I hide it from your eyes? Besides, what happened outside also involves my General's Mansion. When my eighth sister got the news, she naturally came to tell me. After all, I am also a member of the General's Mansion."
Then he looked at Minister Mu with an apologetic look, "Uncle Mu, I really didn't know. I don't want to embarrass you, you can torture me to get the job done. But the result will not change."
Minister Mu looked at her.
Baili Feiyue looked back without blushing or beating her heart.
Minister Mu stood up.
"Master Mu, she herself said that she could use torture, and you just left like that?"
"Your Excellency is always the best at torture. Thank you for your hard work. I will go to handle other official business first."
Shangshu Wang also stood up and said, "Forget it, forget it. I can't stand seeing blood these two days. Let's go. If they don't tell us, we can go find it ourselves. We have to do something."
The two men then ended the "torture" and left.
Baili Feiyue watched their backs disappear.
The smile on his face faded a little.
In life, there are things you should do and things you shouldn’t do.
Her friendship with the Ministry of Justice was one thing, but the matter of Yin Li was another.
She knew exactly what kind of person Emperor Jing was.
If Yin Li is handed over, he will be in great danger.
Yin Xuanmo does care about Yin Li, but this matter is definitely not something that can be solved by throwing Yin Li out. At that time, Emperor Jing will take Yin Li away for face or for other reasons!
Shangshu Wang and Shilang Mu could not find out the whereabouts of Yin Li. If Emperor Jing had any brains left, he would not have done anything to them.
Then I will have to inconvenience you two adults for now.
She is in the Ministry of Justice, and Baili Feiyue will remember the favor they showed her.
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions deep in her eyes.
The accounts between her and Emperor Jing will soon be settled.
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
And what Baili Feiyue said about not being able to find Yin Li now was not a complete lie.
Because of the Ministry of Justice's usual sharpness, they really didn't find any clues at all in that day and night.
He went to court the next day.
Minister Wang took the initiative to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, after interrogation, I have confirmed that Miss Ling San does not know the current whereabouts of Young Master Yin."
The expression in Emperor Jing's eyes changed many times.
"Forget it. I don't think this is a good idea anyway. After all, she is an innocent child. She can do it on the first day, but we can't do it on the fifteenth."
Minister Wang immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Those peace advocates who had placed high hopes on the Ministry of Justice refused to do so.
Who can't see the conspiracy between the Ministry of Justice and Ling Jing?
If they insisted on forcing Ling Jing, how could she not tell them the whereabouts of the child!
Someone immediately stood up and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Are you really interrogating them?"
Shangshu Wang is no pushover. "Lord Sun, are you questioning the ability of the Ministry of Justice to handle cases? I remember that several maids died of illness in Lord Sun's mansion last month. Can I check what illness those maids died of?"
Lord Sun was immediately startled.
Those damn executioners in the Ministry of Justice even knew how many maids had died in his house!
How could he be allowed to check?
Because those maids didn’t die of illness at all!
This time, Lord Sun was speechless.
I will never dare to say a bad word about the Ministry of Justice again.
Other court officials who had doubts in their hearts did not dare to do so.
You must be kidding. With a position like theirs, whether it's their own family or their relatives, they'll definitely find some dirty stuff. If they really offend the Ministry of Justice, they'll find a reason to investigate, and the consequences...
The atmosphere was just getting a little weird when someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, those messengers are clamoring outside the palace gates and demanding the results..."
The expressions of the ministers in the court, who had just been making a small fuss, changed instantly.
Emperor Jing's expression darkened. "Let them in."
Still so rude and arrogant.
Yelling from a distance.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Dajing, please think carefully. Which of our conditions do you want to agree to?"
Emperor Jing looked at them with a sullen expression.
The envoys were not afraid and sneered, "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor Dajing is unwilling to give up any of them."
"None of your requests are reasonable. Dear envoys, if there is anything you really need me to do, please speak nicely. I may help you. If you really want to, I may even go to war!"
Emperor Jing said indifferently that if the power behind them was not strong enough, the envoys would not be able to withstand it.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dajing, are you treating us like criminal beggars? We are not here to beg for money! What do you mean by help or not? We have suffered so much from you, and we just want to pay you back for what we have suffered!"
"Don't you have a saying, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west'? What good things have your regent and General Ling done over the years? Don't you have any idea in your heart? Now, your regent is gone, and only General Ling is left. Your Majesty, where do you get the courage to fight against the armies of our countries!"
Think about the mission you had before coming here.
He added, "You don't want to compensate for the losses, but you can't bear to part with General Ling. Well, there is another way! Your General Ling and the Regent have killed so many of us and torn so many families apart! Let their children and relatives pay for the crimes they committed!"
