Yun Jingyan was so angry that he loudly said: "This matter has nothing to do with me at all!"
"I also hope that this matter has nothing to do with Yun Xiang." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment said unhurriedly: "But our Ministry of Punishment handles cases, and what we pay attention to is evidence. We will look at what the evidence says, so what I said is only pertinent.
If so. And in Yun Xiang’s case, although there are some doubts, there is also a motive for committing the crime."
"What motive?" Yun Jingyan said through gritted teeth.
The Minister of Punishment said slowly: "Burning the granary seems to be of no benefit to anyone, but it does no harm. The only person who will be held accountable is the grain officer. Although someone deliberately set the fire, the grain officer still has to bear the responsibility.
He was accused of guarding the granary, but the guards who were on duty at the granary last night were transferred from Jingjiwei. I am afraid there are other conspiracies. Before those conspiracies are investigated clearly, I dare not infer anything. But Su
But Token said that he had an accomplice in the arson this time. At that time, a group of people attacked the granary, and those people's martial arts were much better than Kyokichi, which proves that the whole thing had been planned for a long time."
He said a lot, and he also talked about motives. However, after he finished speaking, he didn't say a word about motives, but he actually talked about a lot of motives.
What he said was not in vain, but both Yun Jingyan and the emperor understood clearly that if this matter succeeded, it would mean that Jing Jiwei did not guard the granary well.
Due to some small changes in the granary some days ago, the guards there were insufficient, and there were some other problems there, so after Chu Yuanzhou asked the emperor to visit, he transferred the Jingji Guards there.
In this way, the grain officer at the granary is ultimately Chu Yi, and this incident is aimed at Chu Yi.
Everyone knows that Chu Shu is now imprisoned in the clan mansion. Although he may still be released, the prince who hurt his own brother may have lost his position in the eyes of the emperor.
.
Before that, the emperor had given Chu Yi a hundred thousand troops from the king of Chu. This proved that Chu Yi was now very popular with the emperor and became Chu Mo's biggest rival for the throne.
In order to completely defeat Chu Yi, the best way to get him to fight back is naturally to ask him to answer questions.
In recent years, Chu Mo had kept the entire capital in good order, and could not find a suitable way to hold him accountable for a while, so the best way was to burn down the granary. As long as the granary was burned down, Chu Yi would not be able to escape responsibility.
The emperor's eyes were full of coldness, and the eyes of the Minister of Punishment were full of darkness. Yun Jingyan gritted his teeth and said: "This is all just your speculation! There is no evidence at all!"
"I didn't make any guesses, I told the truth." The Minister of Punishment glanced at Yun Jingyan and said: "All of this is based on facts, and here is the confession!"
Yun Jingyan wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Eunuch Zhu walked in and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Ming wants to see you!"
When the emperor heard that Chu Mo was coming, his eyes deepened. Regarding Chu Mo, the emperor's heart had always been somewhat contradictory. Chu Mo was the smarter one among the princes, and his actions seemed to be mature.
, but he was extremely ruthless. In the past, when he and Chu Yuan were competing for the crown prince position, they often caused some unpleasant things. Those methods seemed to the emperor to be excessive.
