It was not until the evening that several ministers came out one after another.
Emperor Mu Wu had just recovered a little and could not overwork, so he postponed the interrogation of Zheng Baosu to tomorrow.
Chen Songshi was walking out when he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Lord?"
Chen Songshi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Xueping smiled, looked around for a few times, then took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Zheng Baosu has been escorted into the palace today. I believe the elder has already known about this, right?"
Chen Songshi stroked his beard, but did not directly answer his question. He just smiled and said, "I didn't expect Lord Lin to be so well-informed. I have been in Qiyuan Hall all day today, so I really don't know much."
Linköping's face froze.
Chen Songshi's words were a bit straightforward. After all, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he had been staying in the Qiyuan Hall like Chen Songshi today! However, he only found out when someone sent a message during the break.
Isn't Chen Songshi's statement an attempt to insult him openly and secretly?
But who among these people present is not a shrewd person? Who doesn't have his own means and channels?
To say that they knew nothing about this matter... Lin Xueping would never believe it!
But at this moment, he could only put on a polite attitude and laughed, "I just heard about it by chance. When he was escorted into the palace, there was a huge scene, and many people in the palace saw it."
Chen Songshi nodded. "Zheng Baosu has committed numerous crimes, which are too numerous to list. He has angered His Majesty, so it is not surprising that he has ended up like this. If Lord Lin is curious, why not ask Lord Miao Shengmiao? He is in charge of this matter, so he should know the most."
Lin Xueping felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone knows that Zheng Baosu will be tried by His Majesty himself! Whoever gets involved at this time will be unlucky!
Seeing that he couldn't find out anything, Lin Xueping simply gave up, said a few perfunctory words, bowed and left in a hurry.
Chen Songshi looked at his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled.
…
This little episode did not attract anyone's attention.
Zheng Baosu, who was imprisoned, knew nothing about this.
The sky gradually darkened and there was dead silence all around, making Zheng Baosu more nervous and uneasy.
His hands and feet were shackled, and any movement would make a noise, attracting special attention.
So he didn't dare to move and could only sit on the edge of the bed, looking listless and desperate.
In fact, he had no idea how he got here.
From the time he was arrested until now, he has been in a daze.
But he is not stupid. It is obvious that the current situation is aimed at killing him!
If you are not careful, you might really have to confess!
I don't know what's going on outside...
Just then, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.
Then, the door was pushed open a crack, and a palace servant placed a tray in through the threshold.
A steamed bun and a bowl of leftover rice on top.
In the past, Zheng Baosu would never have even looked at the rotten food, but after traveling all the way, sometimes he could only eat one meal a day and was already starving.
How could I care about so many things at this moment?
Without thinking, he immediately dragged his heavy shackles forward, grabbed the steamed bun and wolfed it down!
He was eating in a hurry and naturally did not notice that the palace servant stayed outside the open door for a while. When he saw him swallow the steamed bun, he smiled subtly and then turned and left.
