"Yao Mengqing is a very good candidate, she is always with you on weekdays, and she has conflicts with Ming Yulong, and more importantly, she is the eldest daughter of Yao Guogong, Yao Guogong's mansion still has great prestige among the people, he is very sad today, which is extremely beneficial to us."

Before the old Yao Guogong did not follow the first emperor, he was a general of the previous dynasty, and the emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre, and the old Yao Guogong was called by the first emperor, joined the camp of the first emperor, and created a career.

He is chivalrous and is regarded as a chivalrous general, so whether it is in the people or in the army, the older generation of people read his reputation.

Bai Yiqian was praised by his father, and his face was happy, "Dad, leave this matter to me!" ”

Prime Minister Bai glanced at him, "Okay." ”

Ming Yulong's matter quickly spread in Beijing, from the hundreds of officials in the imperial court to the enslavement of the common people, everyone knew what happened at the light banquet that day-

The lord of Shengyu and the daughter of Yao Guogong had a quarrel, and poisoned the daughter of Yao Guogong by virtue of their identity, the king of Ming, and the prince of Ming relied on their power, and under the conclusive evidence, they pressured the criminal department not to convict the crime, intending to implement a delaying policy and drag the case into an unsolved case.

In which dynasty there is no shortage of "righteous people" who do not know the truth, ordinary people did not see the situation at all, but they can understand the meaning of the word "oppression by power", Yao Guogong was bullied by the Ming Palace, so that he could not kill the murderer to avenge his dead daughter, what an infuriating thing!

Not only that, but even the veteran officials who did not serve in Beijing heard the news and were filled with righteous indignation, and even in a short period of five days, they jointly wrote a letter, asking His Majesty to remember the feelings of the past, not to be biased, not selfish, and to severely punish the murderers, so as to comfort their loyal ministers.

On the other hand, Shang Shuzi of the Criminal Department regarded Yao Mengqing's death as a major case, repeatedly investigated the situation of the day, and asked all the people present about the scene, and questioned Ming Yulong, and found no loopholes and questions from her words.

Progress in the case has been slow.

On the sixth day, after dealing with political affairs, the emperor asked as usual, but there were other important things to do.

The right counselor took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "Minister, there is something to play Your Majesty." ”

"What?" The Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, now in the middle of the capital, regardless of the size of the official position, old and young, are all talking about the matter of the lord of Shengyu County, the minister is the doctor, these days about the official power oppression, favoritism and protection of people have repeatedly entered the ears, if this case is pressed again and again, I am afraid that it will damage the majesty of the court."

The duty of the counsellor is to give advice to the emperor, which is a very peculiar official, which is both insignificant and incomparably important; It has no size, but it has a lot of power, and it all depends on whether the emperor listens or not.

Today's emperor still gives two points of face to the doctor, chooses what he wants to hear, and then speaks:

"Speaking of which, the Criminal Department has been handling this matter for six or seven days, how is this matter going?"

The matter of the unqualified Zhidao is too big, and sooner or later it will be raised in the court, stand up, and say:

"Your Majesty, after careful investigation by the ministers, at this time, no new evidence has been obtained to prove that the person was not killed by the Holy Feather County Lord. However, it is not certain that the Holy Feather County Lord poisoned it. Some of the people who saw it that day said that they had never seen the holy feather touch the teacup, so they are still under investigation. ”

"That is, there is no evidence to prove that Ming Yulong was not poisoned?" Prime Minister Bai asked sideways.
