Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 64 part 2

Chapter 64 There is a problem! (2)

The two went to a deserted place. Lin Qing didn’t waste time and said directly, “Zhao Zhong is one of my people. Can Your Highness do me a favor and let him go? Lin Qing will be grateful!”

Lin Qing didn’t lie. If Situ Yaohua let Zhao Zimu go, he was willing to pay some price, even if the price would be high.

This was not disadvantageous to Situ Yaohua. However, after the incident, they would continue to be like how they were before because Lin Qing knew that Situ Yaohua wouldn’t let him go. His power was too high!

If Situ Yaohua ascend the throne in the future, he (SY) would certainly not tolerate him. Situ Yaohua would use the hands of the officials to get rid of him. If he could eliminate the calamity within his bosom, he would also establish prestige in the court and sit firmly on the throne.

However, if Situ Yaohua wanted to use this incident to take him down, then his (SY) bargaining chips were a bit too little. It was uncertain who would win or lose if they continue to fight, but Lin Qing couldn’t afford to lose. Hence, he took the initiative to bow his head today.

However, Situ Yaohua didn’t buy it. He said with an honest face to Lin Qing, “Qiansui is joking. Emperor father handed me this task. How can I bend the law because of a favor? Besides, Qiansui should also understand the strictness of our laws. Forgive, this crown prince for being unable to help.”

“Hahaha, crown prince is right. Our laws are strict. How can this servant dare to violate it easily?! It is this old servant’s fault. This servant hopes that Your Highness will not blame this servant!” After a while, Lin Qing suddenly smiled understandingly. His face was gentle and scary.

He was angry. He had been a slave for more than ten years to the imperial household. He deserved to be favored by emperor Jinghui. He turned a deaf ear to the hatred the officials had for him. He didn’t think anything about the princes seeing him as a thorn in their eyes because he is a subject and also a slave. What he should bear, he has to bear!

However, he conceded in a hundred ways, the Eastern Palace still didn’t spare him and pressed harder with each step. He (SY) wasn’t even willing to wait a bit more.

Since they want his life, then, come!

Lin Qing stopped speaking more to Situ Yaohua. After curtsied to him, he left. Situ Yaohua looked a bit solemn and felt that Lin Qing would certainly do something. He should prepare in advance.

Not long after, Zhao Zimu was interrogated by the Ministry of Justice. The main interrogator was the crown prince and the two assistants minister of the Ministry of Justice. One’s surname was Shen and the other Zhang.

When Zhao Zimu was dragged to the interrogation, Zhao Zimu repeated what she had told Situ Yaohua before. Situ Yaohua refused to let her go and forced her to tell who the mastermind behind her was.

However, no matter if she talked or not, Situ Yaohua wouldn’t let her go. Why? Because she was someone on Lin Qing’s side and seemed very important to Lin Qing. In order to give Lin Qing a blow, naturally Zhao Zimu had to suffer. The harder she suffers, the better and it was even better if she died.

However, the case had to be judged based on evidence and not casually according to one’s wishes. Zhao Zimu had been locked up in prison and wouldn’t be able to get some good evidence to prove her innocence. Also, being innocent was definitely not enough. With the slap Situ Yaohua gave her that day, not only must she be innocent, but she also had to have done a meritorious deed to escape this catastrophe. After all, the face of the imperial household had to be washed with the lives of people. Only then would they regain their self-righteous superior dignity.

Just when Situ Yaohua was about to use torture on her based on the refusal to cooperate, people from the Prefecture of Arrest broke in. Jia Er threw a thick pile of materials on the desk of the few people. In name, Zhao Zimu was a member of the Prefecture of Arrest now. They had the right to appeal justice for her. Even if it was not her, did the Prefecture of Arrest need a reason to want to appeal justice for someone? It was just that they had never done such a thing.

Jia Er said expressionlessly, “The whole story is written on it. Because the people who originally intended to humiliate princess had been cut into pieces by the Military Force of the Five Walls, therefore there was no way to personally drag them here. However, the testimonial of the Military Force of the Five Walls is here. I hope that sirs would investigate clearly. This little brother of ours is not only innocent but he also did a meritorious deed!”

Jia Er’s words were sincere and expressed grievances. He indeed felt that madam was aggrieved. What did it matter that he acted out? Although, it looked a bit ugly…

Looking at the sincere and aggrieved man below, the whole hall was speechless. It made them feel like they were muddleheaded officials who didn’t distinguish right from wrong, although, this time they were indeed muddleheaded…

Under the silent and gloomy atmosphere, the official with the surname Shen suddenly said, “I…think this is reasonable.”

Situ Yaohua’s pupils shrank and he immediately looked at him. The official with the surname Shen sweated profusely under the pressure of Situ Yaohua’s gaze, but he still sat upright in his seat with an expression of conducting the case justly.

Situ Yaohua looked at the official with the surname Shen like forged daggers. He knew that if the person did this normally, there wouldn’t be anything wrong, but this person is one of his people! He actually went against him (SY)! There was definitely a problem here!
