In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Qu grabbed the guard who came to report the news.
"Who! Dare to touch my son!"
The guard said tremblingly: "It's Young Master Dongmen, Dongmen Yan!"
"Dongmen Yan captures Linjie? Absolutely impossible!" Dongmen walked out of the back room.
The Dongmen family is Prime Minister Qu's wife, Qu Linjie's mother, and her natal father is the elder of the Dongmen family. Because of this relationship, the two families of the Dongmen family and the Prime Minister's Mansion often move around.
Therefore, when it was said that Dongmenyan had captured Qu Linjie, Dongmenshi's first reaction was, impossible!
"Madam, I saw it with my own eyes!" the guard said.
"You must have read it wrong!" Dongmen scolded him coldly.
"Madam, I am absolutely right!" the guard looked anxiously.
"Quickly think of a way to save the young master!"
Seeing that the guard didn't look like he was lying, Dongmenshi panicked and turned to look at Qu Rongjie.
"Master, it can't be true!"
Qu Linjie looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Where did Rongjie go today?" he asked.
"In the Food God Hall!" the guard replied.
"Not good!" Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Qu hurriedly walked out.
As soon as they arrived outside the door, a group of eunuchs came towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. When they saw Prime Minister Qu coming out, they shouted in a high voice: "Your Majesty has an order, please come into the palace quickly!"
"Is it because of Rongjie?" Dongmen asked after hearing the commotion.
The eunuch nodded!
"This time, I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster!"
Hearing what the eunuch said, Dongmen's eyes went dark and he fainted from fright.
…
In the political hall of the palace, the old emperor was sitting on a dragon chair. On both sides of the hall stood Lin Ziyi, Prime Minister Qu, Prince Li Yu, Liao Lao, Xia Jin, Dongmen Yan, and Xia Jin. In the middle, they were kneeling and tied up with five flowers.
Qu Rongjie.
"Qu Linjie is the real culprit who killed Dongmen Qian. Please give this person to me and bring him back to the head of the family!" Dongmen Yan said.
"Hasn't the real culprit been caught? Why did another one pop up?" The old emperor held his forehead, his head was dizzy from the case.
"Zhang Heng is the scapegoat, and Qu Linjie is the real murderer!" Dongmenyan said coldly.
"Young Master Dongmen, my son will never do that kind of thing. Is there any misunderstanding here, or have you been bewitched by someone and deceived?" As he spoke, he looked at Xia Jin.
The implication is that Xia Jin deceived Dongmen Yan?
Xia Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, but unfortunately, at this point, it was useless to argue!
"I heard with my own ears that Qu Linjie admitted to killing Dongmen Qian!" Dongmen Yan said.
The old emperor looked at Qu Rongjie and asked, "Is this possible?"
Qu Rongjie shook his head, "I didn't! Xia Jin deliberately lured me into saying it!"
Xia Jin looked at him indifferently and asked: "If you didn't do it, then why did you admit it and kill me to silence me?"
"Xia Jin, it's you who wants to harm me on purpose!" Qu Linjie roared angrily.
"Master Qu, please don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that you went to the God of Food Hall to commit the murder, saying you wanted to kill me to silence me, and you also blamed Lijia!"
Xia Jin took out a dart. "Your Majesty, he almost killed me with this dart!"
The eunuch walked over, took the dart and sent it to the emperor's dragon case.
The old emperor looked carefully and confirmed that it was indeed the dart from home.
"I was present at the time. I can prove that what Xia Jin said is true!" Li Yu stepped forward.
"Qu Linjie, what else do you have to say!" Dongmenyan looked at him coldly.
The old emperor held his forehead and said, "Since the real murderer has been found and all the witnesses and physical evidence are there, the young master of the East Gate will take Qu Rongjie away and leave him at your disposal!"
"Your Majesty, no, my son is innocent!" Qu Linjie knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for my son!"
"If you are wrong, you are wrong. If you continue to protect me, the emperor will feel irritated. Prime Minister Qu, please stop it when it is appropriate!" Lin Ziyi said lightly.
The old emperor sighed and said helplessly: "General Lin is right! Prime Minister Qu, please stop this!"
After that, he turned around and walked out.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After the old emperor walked away, Lin Ziyi and Xia Jin walked out of the hall together. They looked back at Prime Minister Qu who was begging Dongmen Yan in the hall. Lin Ziyi chuckled, then looked at Xia Jin and asked:
"When did you secretly do this?"
"What do you mean by doing it secretly? I am doing it openly!" Xia Jin raised her chin and corrected.
Lin Ziyi looked at her clear and smart eyes, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
On the way here, he was worried that Xia Jin would be implicated, but now it seems that he is too worried.
With the prince's testimony and Dongmen Yan hearing it with his own ears, Qu Runjie's guilt has been confirmed!
Now, he was really 'scared' by this woman again and again. In just a few days, she had already solved Qu Linjie!
Without Qu Rongjie's help, it is equivalent to breaking off Prime Minister Qu's arm, so it will be much easier to deal with Prime Minister Qu!
My head is feeling groggy and I feel a little uncomfortable. I will just update once today, and I will update every day tomorrow. Thank you very much, good night! (Work hard to adjust your work and rest, and I will try my best to update during the day in the future!)
