Chapter 146 Was she set up?
The Ministry of Justice received the report and looked at each other in confusion.
How did the Governor of Jiangnan end up fighting with Princess Jinyun? One has the Emperor behind him, the other has the Nine Thousand Years Old Man behind him, neither can afford to offend.
Doctor Lin's eyes flashed, and he said righteously, "A prince who breaks the law is guilty just like a commoner, and Princess Jinyun is no exception. Killing someone means paying with one's life, which is only natural."
"I've accepted this case. I'm going to arrest Princess Jinyun and interrogate her right away."
He rushed out, and his colleagues hurried to stop him, "Hey, hey, don't be impulsive, that's the most popular Princess Jinyun right now."
Doctor Lin said righteously, "If I can't speak for the people, I might as well go back to farming. Don't let anyone stop me."
Now that he has said so, who would dare to stop him?
Watching his receding figure, the old official couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What a foolish young man."
Princess Jinyun is no pushover. She has a strong personality and is extremely resourceful. Countless people have fallen at her hands, yet there are still people who want to challenge her.
An official said sarcastically, "Being motivated is a good thing."
Doctor Lin led a dozen of his men to rush to Princess Jinyun's residence and knocked frantically on the door. "Open the door, open the door quickly. The Ministry of Justice is here on business. Those who disobey will bear the consequences."
The door of the Princess's Mansion was closed tightly, and there was no response at all.
Doctor Lin shouted for a long time, but there was no response. He could not help but get furious. "This is a blatant resistance to the Ministry of Justice's investigation. Come on, break down the door."
His men quickly stopped him and pointed upwards, "Sir, look at this plaque."
Doctor Lin was stunned when he saw the words on the plaque. Who would dare to destroy a plaque written by the emperor? Tired of living?
His eyes flickered, "I'm not afraid of death, I'll do it."
What an upright and loyal minister! He is truly awe-inspiring.
He had just smashed it twice when a clear shout suddenly rang out, "Who dares to smash the gate of my Princess Mansion?"
It was Yun Zheng who returned home. She got off a carriage with a cold expression.
Doctor Lin puffed out his chest and said, "It's me, Doctor Lin Zhongye from the Ministry of Justice."
He loudly accused, "Princess Jinyun, you are supported by the people, yet you murdered them and beat two old women to death. What crime should you be charged with?"
Yun Zheng frowned and looked around blankly, "Who did I kill?"
Doctor Lin shouted, "Stop pretending! The old ladies in the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion may be lowly slaves, but they are living people. How can you be so violent?"
"You have failed the Emperor and betrayed His Majesty's grace, and you have failed the people. You are disloyal, unkind, and unjust, and your actions are appalling."
He fabricated charges so crazily that Yun Zheng even laughed out of anger. What the hell?
"I represent the Ministry of Justice and am here to take you back for interrogation. Please cooperate."
He became more and more passionate as he spoke, spit flying everywhere, and he took the initiative to speak, with a strong intention of intimidating others.
Anyone else would have been frightened and cried, feeling dizzy, and let Doctor Lin manipulate them.
However, Yun Zheng covered her nose and took two steps back in disgust.
She looked at the people around her, and her attendant stepped forward. "He was still alive when he was sent to the Governor's Mansion. Moreover, he only had flesh wounds and would not be fatal."
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. It seemed she had been set up. Who was it? Jiang Shurong?
"Go and check what happened in the Qian Mansion today."
"yes."
Seeing that she ignored him, Doctor Lin felt that the heavy punch he threw was like hitting cotton, with no effect.
This was not the effect he wanted.
"Come here, ask Princess Jinyun to return to the Ministry of Justice for investigation."
The men rushed forward, and Yun Zheng's men naturally stood in front to protect their master.
Yun Zheng opened her red lips slightly, "Lin Zhongye brought people to smash the door and challenge the emperor's authority. We can't let it go. Fight back hard."
Even fighting must have a legitimate reason.
The two sides started fighting, and the winner was decided in a short while. How could the people from the Ministry of Justice defeat the masters carefully selected by the Yun Mansion?
After a while, the people from the Ministry of Justice fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
Doctor Lin was also beaten several times, especially on private parts of his body.
He felt severe pain all over his body and his face turned red with anger.
"You actually beat up the officers and soldiers who were handling the case. You're so arrogant! Is this a rebellion?"
Yun Zheng locked her eyes on him. Suddenly, she pulled out a dagger and played with it. "Lin Zhongye, who reported the case?"
She looked like she was about to stab someone if they disagreed. Doctor Lin trembled with fear. "It's the Governor's wife."
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. Just as she expected, Jiang Shurong couldn't wait to make trouble.
"Where are the dead?"
"In the Governor's Mansion." Doctor Lin's eyes flashed and he suddenly said loudly.
"Princess Jinyun, you are the suspect. It is not your turn to make the decision. I have my own rules on how to proceed."
Yun Zheng's expression was cold. "I'm just a suspect, not convicted. Therefore, I'm still a second-rank princess. What about you? What rank? Why don't you bow to me when you see me? You're trying to rebel, aren't you?"
Doctor Lin was speechless. Even after being beaten, he had to bow his head and say, "Greetings, Princess."
So humiliating!
Yun Zheng looked at him coldly, "This princess doubts your professional ability."
Doctor Lin's face changed drastically. "You can scold me, but you can't humiliate me like this."
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly. How could this be considered humiliating? She was best at cutting off someone's retreat.
"Then let me ask you, has the Governor's wife been investigated?"
Doctor Lin subconsciously retorted, "She was the one who reported the case..."
Yun Zheng pressed on, "Has an autopsy been performed? What does the autopsy report say? What was the cause of death?"
"This..." Doctor Lin's face changed drastically. He thought Yun Zheng was just a clever woman, but no matter how smart she was, she was just a young woman, weak and easy to bully.
He only needs to use some tricks to win her over, and his future is bright.
But no one expected that she had clear ideas, rigorous logic, eloquent speech, and some understanding of the case handling process.
The most important thing is that she doesn't panic at all when encountering problems and is terrifyingly clear-headed.
All I can say is that his understanding of Yun Zheng is very superficial.
Yun Zheng sneered, "You just believe whatever Jiang says. You didn't even do an investigation, but just smashed the door and arrested people."
"How can you be an official of the imperial court? You are clearly a servant of the Governor-General of Jiangnan."
This accusation made Doctor Lin tremble all over, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. "You are talking nonsense."
Yun Zheng looked at his ugly appearance. He used her as a stepping stone, but it depended on whether she was happy with it or not.
"Then, it means you have no ability, no moral integrity, you bully the weak and fear the strong, you frame others, and you step on others to climb up."
"Or, he is disrespectful to the court, extremely dissatisfied with the emperor, and deliberately uses me as a weapon to rebel against the imperial power."
She spoke in a resounding and imposing manner, "So, what kind of person are you?"
Doctor Lin was covered in sweat and his face was as pale as paper. Her mouth was so scary and every word was deadly.
He couldn't recognize any of them.
No, no, he must take back the initiative.
He forced himself to say, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Nine Thousand Years Old. I've long been fed up with you. I'm fighting for justice and fairness."
A cold voice sounded, "So, you are so dissatisfied with this king."
Doctor Lin looked up suddenly, his pupils trembling violently, and the Nine Thousand Year Old Man was actually in the carriage.
He was so frightened that his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground. "Nine...nine thousand years old."
