Chapter 634: Invite the Minister of Justice
The Queen Mother stared at Lu Xiang with cold and aggressive eyes.
After a while, she chuckled, and every wrinkle on her face was filled with murderous intent: "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. All right, I will satisfy you. Come, go and invite the Minister of Justice."
"Wait." Lu Xiang suddenly said, "If I remember correctly, the Minister of Justice is on good terms with Prime Minister Liu, who has always regarded my father as a thorn in his side. I am afraid that if he gets my father, I will be assassinated without even having the chance to speak."
hiss……
There were faint gasps all around.
Some people stared at Lu Xiang with wide eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
Is she ready to throw the jar into the ground? She actually pointed out so openly that the Minister of Justice was Prime Minister Liu's man. Couldn't she be more subtle?
The Queen Mother was slightly startled, and her face suddenly became long.
Even if she wanted to kill this girl, she had to consider the opinions of the ladies and daughters of the noble families here and could not do it too obviously, so she said, "Go and ask Zuo Shiwen to come."
Since you have fallen into the trap yourself, I will help you.
Although Zuo Shiwen was not a member of Liu's party, he did not rely on anyone. Such a stubborn and tactful person might not end up well in his hands.
evidence?
I will prepare all the evidence and witnesses, so that you won't have anywhere to cry.
Once Zuo Shiwen has evidence in his hands, no matter you are the adopted daughter of Duke Anguo or the future thirteenth imperial concubine, you must die.
When Lu Xiang saw the Queen Mother calling Zuo Shiwen over, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
While waiting for Zuo Shiwen to arrive, the Imperial Garden was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at each other but dared not say a word.
I don't know how long it took, but a noisy sound of footsteps gradually came.
Zuo Shiwen came over with a few yamen runners.
He first glanced at Lu Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and quickly looked away.
"Your humble servant pays his respects to the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and long life." Zuo Shiwen walked up to the Empress Dowager and bowed with great respect.
The Queen Mother said with a faint "Yes", "Lord Zuo, someone has died in the palace, and Miss Lu San refuses to plead guilty. Your Ministry of Justice is responsible for various cases, so I will leave this matter to you. I will support you in everything, so you can investigate boldly and make sure to get to the bottom of it. No matter who is involved, I will deal with them according to the law."
The last few words clearly imply that Lu Xiang's murder was related to Queen Song.
"I obey your command." Zuo Shiwen replied with a bow.
Then he turned around and looked at Lu Xiang who was kneeling on the ground: "Miss Lu San, please go in. I will also take away the people who were with you at the time for routine questioning."
Lu Xiang stood up expressionlessly, looked at Zuo Shiwen and said word by word: "You can ask, I hope Lord Zuo can handle the case impartially."
Zuo Shiwen: “Of course.”
As he said this, he winked at the yamen runners, and they immediately surrounded Lu Xiang, He Zhiyan and the others. Since they were all girls, it would be difficult for them to arrest them, let alone the future 13th Imperial Consort and the Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke of Anguo. Even if they had the courage, they would not dare to touch them.
He Zhiyan was extremely panicked, but when she saw Lu Xiang calmly following the people from the Ministry of Justice, she suppressed her uneasiness and followed Lu Xiang.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I will take my leave first." Zuo Shiwen clasped his fists towards the Queen Mother, and at the Queen Mother's nod, he turned and left.
Everyone looked at the group of people walking away, shocked and unable to recover for a long time.
How come he was taken away by the Ministry of Justice while attending a palace banquet?
Some people wondered, what kind of person is Yu Tong? It would be easy for Lu Xiang to deal with her. Would he take the risk of killing someone in the palace today?
