Chapter 861: The Law Is Long and No One Can Leak Out
"Was it someone from the palace who stole it?" the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice asked in a voice transmission. This was a very serious matter, so he didn't dare to say anything.
If we investigate this in depth, who knows what will be revealed.
Has their Ministry of Justice been in conflict with the royal family recently? Two princes have fallen into their hands, which is unprecedented in history.
"It's almost certain. There are two possibilities. One is that an immortal took action, and the other is that someone in the palace stole it."
But either possibility doesn't make sense.
There's no motive for this.
Why would they steal the throne when they have nothing better to do? Let the emperor stand during court sessions? If you think about it this way, it seems that all the ministers have motives.
"Make a list and see who is familiar with the formations in the palace."
"yes."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was efficient and quickly pulled out a list with all the names of royal family members on it, and Emperor Xia was the first one on the list.
Xu Xin patted the head of the Minister of Justice and said, "You are so stupid! Why did you put His Majesty there? Could it be that His Majesty stole it?"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Justice quickly removed Emperor Xia's name.
Emperor Xia had nine sons and seven daughters. With the arrest of the fourth and fifth princes, two of the suspects were eliminated.
Of course, in addition to the princes and princesses, Emperor Xia’s personal eunuch Eunuch Li and others are also suspects.
After obtaining Jiang Qun's consent, the Ministry of Justice quickly launched the search.
"My dear Lord Xu, how is the investigation going?" Jiang Qun called Xu Xin over to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, eager to know the whereabouts of the throne.
Otherwise, when my father comes back and finds that his seat is gone, he will be so embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, after two days of investigation, we found that none of the princes and princesses are suspected, except for one person."
"Oh, who is it?"
Xu Xin said seriously: "The eldest prince Jiang Qun."
"According to our investigation, the eldest prince has been missing for many days since returning from Jizhou. No one knows his whereabouts. This is very suspicious!"
Jiang Qun started coughing violently.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Xu Xin was shocked and thought that maybe the Majesty was angry.
Considering that His Majesty’s life is coming to an end, he would be guilty of a great sin if he were to pass away from anger.
"It's okay, it's an old problem." Jiang Qun waved his hand, telling Xu Xin not to panic.
Jiang Qun coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "It is well known that Qun'er has no intention of competing for the throne. He absolutely cannot steal the throne and has no motive. Lord Xu should investigate someone else."
Xu Xin opened his mouth and wanted to ask, "Your Majesty, are you trying to protect the eldest prince?" But on second thought, what Your Majesty said made sense. If other princes stole the throne, they could explain it by "trying out the feeling". But the eldest prince was famous for not fighting for the throne. It didn't make sense why he would steal the throne for no reason.
"yes."
Apart from the palace, Xu Xin stood at the gate of the palace in deep thought, but the problem was that if it wasn't the eldest prince, who else could it be? "Forget it, go give the award to Lu Yang. This kid has always been smart. Go ask him what he thinks."
Lu Yang first reported the Fourth Prince's rebellion, and then persuaded Shi Lei and others to surrender themselves, solving countless unsolved mysteries. It was a great achievement, and the Ministry of Justice would definitely reward him.
However, during this period of time, Xu Xin had been busy with the affairs of the Fifth Prince's followers and the throne, and had not yet gone to find Lu Yang.
Now he wanted a change of mood.
…
Meng Mansion.
The Immortal Fairy brought four new members of the Soybean Dynasty to live in the Meng family and used the Meng family as their base.
The Tribulation Period who was hiding in the dark and responsible for protecting Emperor Xia actually wanted to tell the truth to the Ministry of Justice, but it was so difficult for him to hold back his laughter several times.
Unfortunately, his current mission is to protect Emperor Xia, and he can't do anything else.
I thought protecting Emperor Xia would be a boring job, but I didn't expect the process to be so colorful. It is much more interesting than practicing in seclusion.
"Do you want to come up and sit down?"
The immortal fairy rewards the three armies, and the three generals are able to sit on the throne and experience it.
"Forget it, it looks uncomfortable to sit down." Ao Ling and the other two shook their heads and refused, implying that they had no ambitions for the throne and that His Majesty could just relax and not test them.
"Okay then." The Immortal Fairy didn't expect Ao Ling and the other two to be so smart. They could see that she was testing them. If any of them dared to sit on the throne, she would dismiss them from their posts and confiscate their property.
The Immortal Fairy turned around and went to the spiritual space to ask Lu Yang.

"Xiao Yangzi, what did you say just now about 'coveting' and 'confiscation of property'?"
"Nothing, I was just chatting to myself when I had nothing to do."
While the Immortal Fairy was establishing the Soybean Dynasty, Lu Yang was not idle either. He had been practicing with the Invincible Infant. His strength improved by leaps and bounds. He could vaguely compete with the Invincible Infant and could even spare some time to analyze the situation outside.
Although the price of this is being defeated by the invincible baby.
But Lu Yang still persisted in doing so, and his perseverance is commendable.
"Xiao Yangzi, the throne is already secured, what should we do next?"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Rebellion requires a legitimate reason, such as using a sword to kill a white snake, or letting a fox cry out, saying something like 'The great Chu will rise, Chen Sheng will be king', or digging a stone from the river and writing on it 'The stone man with one eye, stirring up the Yellow River to cause rebellion' or something like that. Of course, they are all fake."
The Immortal Fairy was so smart that she understood everything at once. She said with a long "oh", "It's fake. I know this. The Nine-Layered Fairy and the others often do this."
"This is too common a name for a fox. It's not very convincing. Oh, by the way, we can bury a stone in the ground and write on it, um, 'Soybean Xing, King Luyang'!"
"Well, I'm of humble origin, so you don't need to write my name." Upon hearing this, Lu Yang quickly refused. He didn't want to have anything to do with rebellion.
The Immortal Fairy thought highly of Lu Yang: "Little Yang, don't feel inferior. You are my subordinate..."
"He is a loyal and trusted minister." Lu Yang corrected seriously. He also shoulders the responsibility of being the emperor's teacher and is in charge of the literary fortunes of the Soybean Dynasty.
"Oh, then you are my loyal and faithful minister. As my loyal and faithful minister, how can I treat you unfairly? We should share the happiness together!"
While the Immortal Fairy was talking to Lu Yang, Xu Xin arrived at the Meng Mansion and went straight to Lu Yang.
The Immortal Fairy didn't pay attention to the outside world, but the three generals did.
Ao Ling reacted the fastest. She couldn't let Xu Xin see the three of them being with Lu Yang. It would be difficult to explain and all the affairs of the ancient heaven would be exposed.
Jin Caiwei clapped three times in a row, and the three of them turned into three paintings hanging on the wall without any sense of incongruity.
Xu Xin pushed the door open with the people from the Ministry of Justice and laughed heartily.
"Haha, Lu Yang, you were living in the Meng family. It took me a long time to find you. You reported the Fourth Prince and persuaded Shi Lei and others to surrender. I came here to reward you."
In order to express his importance to Lu Yang, Xu Xin personally held up a tray containing commendations, cultivation resources and other items.
Then he pushed the door open and saw Lu Yang sitting on the throne and Emperor Xia standing obediently beside him.
