Above the lobby of the Criminal Department, Mother Lu and Chengping Hou were dumbfounded by Sun Yiming's questioning.

Mother Lu naturally couldn't explain how she could get Chengpinghou to help frame Yin Pingru together, but she still insisted that everything was her mastermind and had nothing to do with others.

Cheng Pinghou's statement is not quite the same as her.

Chengping Hou knew that the false accusation had failed, and although Mrs. Wu was not involved for the time being, she had also fallen into a situation where she could not protect herself, and she was afraid that she would have no time to protect herself.

In order to protect himself, he insisted that Zhou Gui's testimony was as he said, and he didn't know that Zhou Gui would suddenly retract his confession, and even slandered himself in turn...... In short, he was also deceived and did not intend to participate in this matter.

When Sun Yiming heard this, his disdain for him deepened a little.

Compared with the two women kneeling in the hall, Chengpinghou was obviously more greedy for life and afraid of death.

Whether it is Lu's mother or Qiu Muyun, for the people they each want to protect, at least they can do it.

Of course, these two are not good people either......

Sun Yiming retracted his emotion, first faced Qiu Muyun, and ordered indifferently: "The people in the sect are already guilty, and this official cannot change the will of the first emperor at will, you send her back first, and when the official understands the emperor, if there is any additional punishment, then deal with it!" ”

Qiu Muyun had already lost all thoughts and couldn't resist, but she knelt for too long, and her legs were already numb, so she had to be dragged out of the lobby by two yachas.

Sun Yiming said again: "As for Chengping Hou and Mother Lu, don't think about going back." Let's just spend a few days in the prison of the Criminal Department and think about the case clearly! ”

Immediately, several officials received orders and took them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Lu's mother was very obedient from beginning to end.

Chengping Hou shouted for a while. It's just a bluff, and seeing that Lord Ji next to Sun Yiming had no intention of stopping him, he gradually lost his thoughts, and honestly followed the yacha.

It was completely different from the situation when Jiang Xuan was locked up in the Criminal Department, and what they went to this time was a real prison of the Criminal Department.

They can be separated from each other in a single room, and not in the same room as the most vicious people. It's already a blessing.

It's not that Sun Yiming wants to take care of them, it's just that he's afraid that they will die before they completely confess......

After these people were taken away, Sun Yiming's complexion softened.

I saw him get up from behind the big case. To everyone: "It's really helpless to bother everyone for so long. It's getting late today, so please go home first. There are still doubts in this case, in order to prevent no one from going unpunished. I will give you an answer as soon as possible. Give the emperor an answer too! ”

There was no objection from the crowd.

It's just that Sun Yiming's official tone really makes Lu Qingrong a little unaccustomed.

According to his personality, he shouldn't just shout "scatter, scatter", how can he still say such awkward words.

Sun Yiming did not mention helping Yin Pingru clear his suspicions, but in just two hours, he completely removed Yin Pingru from the case, and recognized Lu's mother as the mastermind behind the scenes. Although it is not possible to pull out Mrs. Wu for the time being, the direction is already very clear......

Why is he still humble?

Lu Qingrong didn't think much about it. After everyone said goodbye to each other, they boarded the carriage to return home.

She was most worried at the moment. It's still Jiang Xuan.

Just now in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Mrs. Jiang was constantly mentioned.

Especially after Lu's mother came, she was even more offended by her words.

Lu Qingrong noticed Jiang Xuan's extremely restrained appearance with his fists clenched at that time.

Until this time, inside the carriage, Lu Qingrong gently held his hand, and he could still feel a strange coldness.

Lu Qingrong understood very well.

The past gradually became clear, and the truth was about to be revealed, which was the result they had been looking forward to for many years.

But when this result slowly approached, the emotions of the year also erupted. The pain, helplessness, and remorse at that time were just like yesterday, accompanied by the nostalgia for Mrs. Jiang, which was even more real.

Lu Qingrong understood that in such feelings, any words of persuasion would be pale.

She stayed with him quietly until she slowly felt the warmth of his hands again......

Lu Qingrong asked half-curiously and half-distractedly: "I guessed for a long time before, but I never thought that it was Princess Chengyang that you invited. Is this your idea, or is it Sun-sama's? ”

"Neither." Jiang Xuan finally stopped being distracted, "Since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of this case, he seems to be uneasy, so he asked me and Master Sun for questioning. We didn't hide it, and told the emperor directly about this method. Later, for some reason, the Queen Mother knew about it, and she actually came over to fill the scene for us in person......"

"How does this work!" Lu Qingrong exclaimed.

"Not only can't I do it, but to say something disrespectful, the Queen Mother and her mother are really not very similar, and they are very easy to be recognized by Chengping Hou...... Later, the emperor persuaded him. Replaced Princess Chengyang over, this is also the idea of the Queen Mother. ”

Lu Qingrong was already very grateful to the Queen Mother. Not long ago, when she was still the queen, she went to the East Palace to help her out of the siege.

"The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she has seen a lot of conflicts of interest, but she can still maintain a good heart." Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Xuan nodded: "The Empress Dowager's move not only helped us a lot, but also gave Princess Chengyang a chance to perform in front of the emperor, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Only then did Lu Qingrong react.

Back then, Princess Chengyang had always been of the same mind as the Empress Dowager Wu, and she was barely the eldest grandson of the emperor. It's just that she hasn't done anything from beginning to end, compared to the Queen Mother and those in the East Palace, even if she hasn't done evil. At this time, unlike those who broke the can, he still hoped to perform in front of the new emperor.

Lu Qingrong was no longer curious about Princess Chengyang, and asked instead: "You said that Lord Sun left Mother Lu and Chengping Hou in the Criminal Department, so that they can confess the real mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

Jiang Xuan didn't even have to think about it, and said, "It's hard to say it from Mother Lu's side." As for the Marquis of Chengping...... Just now, hindering the presence of everyone in the hall, Master Sun can only play tricks with them, Chengping Hou can still deny it, and when he arrives in the prison of the Criminal Department, his greedy personality and fear of death, I am afraid it will not be so easy to continue to lie...... Moreover, he did not have a human life in his hands, and there was no need to resist to the death. “

"So, the case will be settled soon?" Lu Qingrong was slightly excited.

"Not necessarily." Jiang Xuan said indifferently.

Lu Qingrong raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously puzzled.

Jiang Xuan reminded: "Don't forget, Jiang Ke is still in Mobei!" ”

Lu Qingrong suddenly realized.

The son fought for the country in Mobei, and if he was at this stall, his mother would become a murderer...... It is light to shake the morale of the army, and if the commander changes, it will be worth the loss for the court and the emperor.

Lu Qingrong suddenly realized: "Just now, Lord Sun stopped in moderation and didn't continue to ask Chengping Hou on the spot, I'm afraid it's also because of this, right?" ”

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "If there is a final decision today, it can only make the emperor in a dilemma." If we have to be extralegal, it won't be a good thing for us! ”

Sun Yiming was still thinking about them, and Lu Qingrong also understood.

She was just a little depressed: "It seems that the case will not be really finalized until Jiang Ke comes back......"

After thinking about it, Lu Qingrong was worried again: "If you wait for Jiang Ke to return to the dynasty in triumph, shouldn't the emperor give her amnesty in order to show his favor?" ”

Jiang Xuan was silent, not seeming to be worried about this.

After a while, Jiang Xuan said meaningfully: "Aside from it for the time being, just for the people on the border of Daqi, I really hope that he can return to the dynasty in triumph......"

Lu Qingrong was slightly stunned.

Didn't Mobei send back a good news a few days ago, how could he listen to Jiang Xuan's meaning, as if this triumph was not easy......
