Morning the next day.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and asked in a routine manner: "Dear ladies, do you have the original memorial?"

Nie Junyuan came out and said: "Wei ministers have their own origins."

The princes and ministers below couldn't help but become energetic. Nie Junyuan rarely spoke in the morning. Once he spoke, someone's family would definitely be in bad luck.

King Jing was originally worried. His son and daughter-in-law went to the mountain to collect medicine last night, but they didn't come back.

None of the accompanying maids, mother-in-law, and servants came back.

King Jing was very worried.

Nie Junyuan suddenly stepped out of the queue. King Jing's right eye suddenly jumped wildly, and his ears stood up involuntarily.

The emperor nodded: "Nie Aiqing, please speak."

Nie Junyuan said loudly: "Yesterday, Wei Chen was performing official duties in Lingxi Mountain. He encountered two killers who were chasing people from Prince Jing's Mansion. Wei Chen hurried over, but he was a step too late. The carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion fell off the cliff and fell into the ground. Huaifeng River.”

King Jing was shocked and asked in a trembling voice: "My son Qingyan..."

Nie Junyuan interrupted King Jing's words and said: "I captured two killers on the spot and brought the rest of Prince Jing's Mansion for interrogation. I learned that the eldest son of Prince Jing's Mansion and his mistress hired assassins to kill people."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ministers in the hall began to whisper and discuss.

King Jing's heart sank with a thud.

Did Gu Qingyan and Pan Leyao hire a murderer to kill their daughter-in-law Shen Muyun? !

King Jing forced himself to stand firm and asked Nie Junyuan: "Does Commander Nie have any evidence? Don't slander anyone!"

Nie Junyuan took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and said coldly: "This is the testimony of the two assassins. The ministers were interrogated separately, and they all confessed that they were bribed by Gu Qingyan and Pan Leyao to go to Lingxi Mountain to assassinate the Shen family."

King Jing actually believed in his heart that his stupid son and stupid niece could do such a thing.

But how could he not argue for his son?

King Jing snorted coldly: "Nie Junyuan, your methods have always been harsh, how could you know that you didn't just give in to the trick?"

Nie Junyuan was unhappy, looked at King Jing with a half-smile, and asked: "King Jing suspects that I will only give in to beatings? There are more than a hundred cases that have passed through my hands. Can you tell me, which case was the result of beatings? We If you mess around with me here, maybe I can reverse the case for the sufferer."

King Jing's heart trembled. Many of the cases tried by Beizhen Fusi were cases of rebellion, treason, or other important cases. Nie Junyuan was actually the emperor's sword and the emperor's dog.

He said that Nie Junyuan was defeated in the trial, and he was a thorn in the emperor's side.

King Jing regretted his gaffe and made up for it: "I didn't mean that. I meant that maybe those two killers were just messing around. In that case, wouldn't it mean that my son Qingyan was wronged?"

Nie Junyuan smiled faintly, took out a jade pendant, and asked King Jing: "Does the prince recognize this object?"

When King Jing saw it, his face turned pale.

This is the jade pendant that Gu Qingyan wears on weekdays. It was given by the emperor himself, and there is no other jade pendant in the world.

Nie Junyuan said coldly: "This was found from the killer. They also had 3000 taels of silver notes on them. The killer confessed, and Gu Qingyan and Pan Leyao promised that as long as the killer took Shen's life, they would give the killer another 7000 taels. Baiyin, and promised to help the killer go to Chen Country to hide."

There was another commotion in the court.

1 taels of silver were paid to hire a murderer. The adulterer and adulterer had eaten the weight and were determined to take Ms. Shen's life!

King Jing said forcefully: "Maybe... maybe Qingyan lost his jade pendant and was picked up by a gangster..."

Nie Junyuan interrupted King Jing: "The gangster picked up the prince's jade pendant and gave it to two killers. He also paid the killer 3000 taels of silver notes out of his own pocket and asked the killer to kill the prince's wife? What is this gangster planning? Your Majesty. , do you think it makes sense?"

King Jing was stunned and his face turned the color of pig liver.

The emperor wanted to speak, but Nie Jun had the foresight and said to King Jing first: "I have one more thing that I want to give to the prince."

Nie Junyuan took out the thing wrapped in paper and opened the paper to reveal the plant inside.

The ministers started talking: "What is this?"

"I don't know, it looks like a herb."

"What did the King of Hell do with this?"

"I don't know. Shhh, don't you dare call him that, don't let him hear it."

……

Nie Junyuan said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the Snow Spirit Grass."

King Jing's heart seemed to have been tightly grasped and twisted several times by a big hand.

Nie Junyuan said loudly: "Pan Leyao uttered arrogant words in front of Princess Jing some time ago, which caused Princess Jing to have a stroke. Under Shen's careful care, Princess Jing has improved. In order to make the princess fully recover, Shen entered the hospital yesterday Deep in the Lingxi Mountain, I personally pick the extremely rare Snow Spirit Grass.”

After Nie Junyuan finished speaking, he turned around and looked at King Jing with burning eyes: "Yes or no?"

King Jing nodded guiltily: "Yes."

Nie Junyuan continued: "Shen went through all the hard work and finally found the Snow Spirit Grass. She went down the mountain happily. On the way, she was chased by killers bribed by Gu Qingyan and Pan Leyao. In order to escape for her life, the carriage ran wildly on the narrow mountain road. Shen probably expected that If you can't escape this disaster, throw the Snow Spirit Grass out before the carriage falls off the cliff!"

"When the carriage lost control and was about to fall off the cliff, the last thing Shen thought about was to throw the Snow Spirit Grass out so that the concubine could fully recover!"

There was silence in the hall.

The ministers' noses were a little sore.

In fact, most of them knew that the concubine had suffered a stroke, and they had sent their wives or daughters to visit the concubine. They had also heard that Shen's medical skills were excellent, and he actually cured the concubine's stroke when the imperial doctor was helpless.

Today I learned that Mrs. Shen actually went to the mountain to collect medicine for the concubine.

What a filial granddaughter-in-law!

Such a filial granddaughter-in-law was killed by a murderer hired by her bedfellow and love rival!

How can one not be filled with indignation?

Everyone looked at King Jing with annoyance.

King Jing's eyes were a little moist. Shen was a good child and she died unjustly.

King Jing recalled the scene where Shen Mu Yunyi took care of the concubine without any care. He felt ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Nie Junyuan said coldly: "In order to respect Shen's wish, the minister handed over the Snow Spirit Grass to the prince. According to the ladies in the palace, after collecting the Snow Spirit Grass, Shen happily told them about the preparation of the Snow Spirit Grass. I have recorded the method of making medicine here and handed it over to the prince."

Tears flowed from King Jing's eyes. He took the Xuelingcao and paper, closed his eyes, struggled internally for a moment, knelt down and saluted, and said painfully: "If it is found that Gu Qingyan really did hire a murderer to kill his wife, please give the emperor the evidence." The law will deal with him, and I will never protect him."

The emperor was still partial to Gu Qingyan and Pan Leyao at first.

But at this time, the emperor knew that the ministers were so angry that they could not stop their mouths.

Public anger is hard to offend.
