When Yuan Chen came to Dali Temple, he saw the minister of Dali Temple hurriedly came out to greet him and wanted to pay him a courtesy.
He raised his hand to stop the Dali Temple Minister's movements and said: "No, I'll come and see Mu Rufeng. Mr. Wang is old, so there's no need to work hard. I'll take over this case alone."
Master Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was so excited that he almost wanted to hug Yuan Chen's thigh.
This terrible chore was just a hot potato, but fortunately His Highness took it upon himself, so he could breathe a sigh of relief.
So he lowered his head and hurriedly said yes.
Yuan Chen waved his hand and said: "Master Wang, go and do your work. I will go to interrogate the prisoner. You don't have to follow me."
"yes."
Mr. Wang respectfully watched Yuan Chen enter the prison.
Ye Jinming followed Yuan Chen and joked: "This Master Wang is really frightened."
Yuan Chen could understand. After all, the person who died was the son of the Taifu family, and the murderer was the son of the general's family. It would be difficult for both parties to offend.
He sighed and said, "It's time for the Minister of Dali Temple to be replaced by a suitable person."
Ye Jinming said: "Next year's imperial examination, Your Highness can see if there is anyone who can take on a big responsibility?"
Yuan Chen nodded. Most of today's courtiers are elderly ministers, not to mention pedantic and outdated. When encountering problems, what they think about is not how to relieve the king, but how to protect themselves wisely?
It’s time for these people in the imperial court to be replaced.
While they were talking, they arrived at the place where Mu Rufeng was imprisoned and saw him lying on the bed and sleeping.
Ye Jinming laughed angrily at him and said, "Are you coming to Dali Temple to hide away?"
Mu Rufeng opened her eyes and looked at the people outside the cell door and said matter-of-factly: "Aren't there still you guys?"
Ye Jinming's lips twitched and he said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Mu Rufeng said: "Zhao Jie ordered a boy to kidnap Ruyi in Taihe Building. When I rushed to rescue him, I saw that Zhao Jie was cheating on Ruyi, so I threw him out. Who knew he would die like this? The thing is
so."
After hearing what he said, Yuan Chen asked: "That means you just threw the person out and didn't beat him."
Mu Rufeng snorted and said: "I wanted to beat him, but it's not too late, isn't it? It's really cheap that he died like this."
After a pause, he asked: "How is Ruyi?"
Ye Jinming was so anxious that he didn't even look at Xin Ruyi's condition. He said, "You'd better care about yourself first. Taifu Zhao has gone to the palace to file a complaint. He is just a grandson, and now he dies in your hands.
I’m afraid I won’t let it go.”
Mu Rufeng had already expected it, and he said: "One person is responsible for the work, so His Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be in trouble."
Yuan Chen said: "You can stay here with peace of mind, I will handle this matter properly."
After leaving these words, he turned and left.
Ye Jinming did not follow. He glanced at Mu Rufeng and said, "If you survive, I will recognize you as your brother-in-law."
Mu Rufeng raised her eyebrows and laughed, "Is this a blessing in disguise?"
Ye Jinming didn't agree with him. He turned around and walked out of the dungeon. He saw Eunuch Hai next to His Majesty and he was talking to Yuan Chen. What was he talking about?
Yuan Chen nodded slightly, turned back to Ye Jinming and said, "Father has announced that I will enter the palace. You can come with me. After all, your sister is the victim of this case."
