"Your Majesty, I, Wang Shi, have always been a benevolent and righteous person. I have always been loyal and filial to my superiors and have always obeyed His Majesty's orders and practiced benevolence and righteousness. But now, my second son has unfortunately encountered a disaster. The commander of the Six Gates, Lord Fang Jinyu, did not punish the real murderer, but instead came to my mansion and attempted to slander the people in my mansion for murder. His behavior is despicable and I, an old minister, cannot tolerate it. Lord Fang has neglected his duties and is indeed a dirty villain. His character is worrying. I am writing this memorial to ask for Your Majesty's instructions."

These words were full of bitterness. If one did not know the inside story, one would probably think that this Lord Fang Jinyu was humiliating an old man who had just lost his son.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis has been following the current emperor since he was young. He is an old minister and is deeply loved by the emperor. The memorial he wrote this time seemed to be criticizing Fang Jinyu and complaining to the emperor, but between the lines, he grasped the emperor's thoughts.

The current emperor governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. When he sees such a memorial, he will only feel disgusted with Fang Jinyu. On the contrary, he will feel more distressed for the old minister, Marquis Zhongyong.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to cut off Fang Jinyu's retreat. The Fang family had never been involved in officialdom. If Fang Jinyu was brought down by this action, there would be no chance for Fang Jinyu to make a comeback in the future, and Wang Ming's murder could be completely covered up.

I have to say, he is worthy of being an old minister. He made a very good plan and took the initiative, leaving Fang Jinyu no chance to even breathe.

"Fang Jinyu, I gave you a chance. If you had changed your mind at that time, I would not have pushed you to this point. However, you just don't know what is good for you and insist on forcing my Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion into a dead end. Then I can only let you die first."

After writing the memorial, Marquis Zhongyong read it carefully in his hand to make sure it was correct and that the emperor would stand on his side. Only then did he put on his court robes and hurried to the palace.

However, as soon as he left the house, the loyal and brave Marquis was stopped by someone.

"Where are you going, Lord?"

It was Long Moxun. Although he did not personally participate in the investigation, he had been sending people to monitor the progress of the case. Fang Jinyu also reported the progress of the case to Long Moxun in real time. Therefore, after knowing who the murderer was, it was not surprising that Long Moxun would appear here.

"I have seen the prince before."

Seeing this devil-like prince, the loyal and brave marquis was startled, glanced at him dimly, and bowed to Long Moxun. Long Moxun's sudden appearance here was really not a good thing.

"Your Highness, I am planning to go to court."

Even though he knew that Long Moxun had ill intentions, Marquis Zhongyong could only tell him the truth. He was wearing court robes, so what else could he do if he didn't go to court?

Long Moxun saw the memorial in the hand of the Loyal and Brave Marquis that he had not yet hidden, and glanced at it coldly: "My Lord, who are you going to impeach?"

Long Moxun's tone was obviously indifferent, and his expression was also indifferent, but to the ears of Marquis Zhongyong, his words sounded menacing.

He secretly wiped his sweat and said, "This old minister believes that Lord Fang was biased in some ways when investigating the case, so he came to Your Majesty."

"If there is any injustice, please report it. Your Excellency, do you think the emperor is here to deal with these trivial matters?"

The loyal and brave Marquis "..."

Of course it is not only biased, but I cannot say that it is because he accused my son of murder that he had to report it.

Marquis Zhongyong lowered his head helplessly and said that the emperor was just dealing with trivial matters. Only Prince Jing dared to say this. Everything was really going wrong for him today.

"I heard that the Marquis went to the military camp to pick up his son today. I happened to be busy, so I took your son with me. Therefore, the Marquis can save himself the trip to the palace to see the emperor."

Long Moxun looked down at the Loyal and Brave Marquis. He wondered what this old fox was planning and how he could have known it.

"What?

Marquis Zhongyong's body froze, his eyes wide open in shock, and there was an undisguised fear in his old eyes. Long Moxun, did he know what he was going to do?

Long Moxun slightly curled his lips, his face without a smile, only contempt. He slowly reached out and pinched the letter in the hand of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, and slowly pulled it out bit by bit.

"Since the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery does not need to enter the palace to see the emperor, then this memorial can be omitted."

As he spoke, Long Moxun clenched his fists and tore the memorial that Marquis Zhongyong had written with so much effort into pieces in front of him.

"Prince?"

Marquis Zhongyong shouted that Long Moxun was trying to cut off his retreat. If he went to the palace, even if Wang Ming was proven to be the murderer, he killed his own family members, and the emperor would not punish him severely for his own sake. But if he did not go to the palace, they could only watch Wang Ming being convicted of murder.

By then, even if he went to the emperor to plead for mercy, how could the Ministry of Justice change the verdict that had already been made?

The thoughts of Marquis Zhongyong were clearly written on his face. Long Moxun just smiled coldly and ordered someone to bring Wang Ming up.

Wang Ming is only a thirteen-year-old boy. Although he is not very old, he has been practicing martial arts for many years and is tall and strong. He does not look like a child at all.

However, in this era, a thirteen-year-old cannot be considered a child. No matter how young Wang Ming is, if he kills someone, he must be punished.

"Dad, please save me, please save me."

When Wang Ming was found by Long Moxun, he was arranged to stay in a private house by the servants of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion, under the pretext of staying overnight to hide from others. If Fang Jinyu had not sent people to follow them early in the morning, he would not have been able to find Wang Ming so quickly.

Wang Ming was held captive by Long Moxun's men and could not move. His facial features had not yet fully developed, but his appearance was determined by his heart. His face clearly showed a maturity that was not in line with his age.

"My Lord, please release my son first."

The loyal and brave Marquis was ultimately eager to protect his son. At this point, he no longer cared about the torn memorial. Saving his son was the most important thing.

"Let him go, he is the murderer that I am looking for.

When the loyal and brave marquis heard this, he obviously lacked confidence, but he still shouted: "He is not the murderer, he is only thirteen years old."

Murder can never be judged by age. Some people are born evil. Not to mention thirteen years old, even five or six years old can kill people.

"He killed someone at the age of thirteen. What will happen to him when he grows up?

"Let me go. I didn't kill anyone. My father will save me."

Wang Ming was still struggling under the control of his subordinates. Subconsciously, he believed that his crime of murder would not be discovered. Of course, even if it was discovered, his father would protect him.

However, if he really didn't kill anyone, why would he need help? This would naturally prove his innocence.

Long Moxun took a quick look at Wang Ming at this time. He had a blister on his hand, which had formed not long ago. It was caused by the new knife when he used it to saw the railings. There were also some small wounds on his right hand, which had also formed not long ago.

Long Moxun could not imagine how a young person could come up with such a dark trick to kill his own brother.

"Come here, search the mansion and find the poppies hidden by the murderer.

As soon as Long Moxun gave the order, his men ignored the obstruction of the Loyalty and Bravery Mansion and entered the mansion to search. Are you kidding? Prince Jing is a man who is not afraid of even the emperor. How could he be blocked by a small Loyalty and Bravery Mansion?

However, when he heard the word poppy, the face of the Loyal and Brave Marquis turned extremely ugly. He lowered his head decadently, looking extremely decadent.

When Wang Ming heard the word "opium", his face turned pale, and it was clear that he had something to hide.

Because Wang Chun suffers from heart failure, there are several banned drugs for patients with heart failure, one of which is opium. Although opium can be used as a medicine at certain times, papaverine is also used in modern medicine. It is injected intravenously for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which can relieve the condition to a certain extent.

One of the main ingredients of opium poppy is opium. However, excessive injection of opium poppy or injection at too fast a speed can directly lead to atrioventricular conduction obstruction, ventricular fibrillation, and even death. Even doctors are very cautious about this kind of medicine, and Wang Ming's use of opium poppy to poison Wang Chun was enough to induce heart failure in Wang Chun.

This explains why Wang Chun suddenly covered his chest before falling from the building that day. This was because before he drank, he was fed opium by his good brother. Of course, the poppies had been diluted and would not kill Wang Chun in a short time. After Wang Chun arrived at the restaurant, he drank some wine with his friends, and the wine entered his lungs, accelerating the onset of the opium poison.

At that time, Wang Chun just thought that he was not able to handle alcohol, and when he was drunk, he would go outside to get some fresh air. Coincidentally, the railing that Wang Chun was holding on to had been sawed off in advance. When the poison took effect, Wang Chun's entire weight was on the railing. Once the railing cracked, Wang Chun had no way to avoid it and fell from the building. His heart failed rapidly and he fell from the building at the same time, and he was doomed to die.

What a big plan, and it was actually designed by a half-grown child. That shows how terrible Wang Ming is.

Of course, Long Moxun did not think that this plan was thought up by Wang Ming alone. Wang Ming was somewhat smart, but he was immature and easily deceived. It was obvious that Wang Ming was just a pawn.

What he cares about is what the people behind the scenes want to do and what benefits they can get from this plan.

Fang Jinyu, who had been watching the show from the back, also stood up at this time. He looked at Marquis Zhongyong with contempt, then turned to Long Moxun and said.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Do you know where the medicine is buried?"
