Chapter 217: Who is this young official?
She didn't care about her own situation, and hurriedly turned to check Mo Chen: "Mo Chen, are you okay?" Is there anything wrong?"
Mo Chen patted off some of the dust on his face, shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and he checked Tang Yingying: "Have you been injured somewhere?" I don't know what's going on this time."
Tang Yingying was not at ease, reached out to check his pulse, and checked the surrounding situation: "I'm fine. With you by my side, I'm really fine."
What I saw was a messy and pitted prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and many wailing people were lying on the ground in pain, some of whom were more or less injured.
People who are not injured or lightly injured are helping the seriously injured or dragging the body aside.
Faintly, a low cry can be heard.
Looking at the cell again, it was really miserable. Many of the cells had been bombarded to the ground, and there was a blur of flesh and blood.
"Don't look." Mo Chen covered Tang Yingying's eyes with his big thick hands and coaxed, "Good, don't look at it."
Tang Yingying's heart warmed, and she hummed, "I don't look at it. You're a little angry, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Fortunately, this time I ran fast, but if I ran slower, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As soon as Mo Chen helped her stand up, Yu Guang saw the officials of the Criminal Department running over in a hurry with the arrester.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Regent!"
When everyone in the Criminal Department saw this scene at the scene, they either gasped or vomited wildly, and some of them were frightened and fainted.
Mo Chen was vaguely impatient: "With such guts, how can you do things for the Criminal Department?"
Everyone in the criminal department trembled and lowered their heads one after another. It is not surprising that His Royal Highness the Regent would be angry when such a big thing happened in the prison of the Criminal Department, and some people in their Criminal Department looked like this in front of His Royal Highness the Regent.
"Deal with this." When the words fell, Mo Chen helped Tang Yingying and walked out.
Before leaving, Tang Yingying said, "You may wish to check the people who came into contact with Qingshuang before she died, especially who gave her anything."
The Criminal Department is busy here, and Mo Chen is asking Tang Yingying about this.
"Qingshuang was killed?"
Tang Ying bowed his head, and his eyes showed a cold light: "Judging from the conclusion, the other party is probably trying to kill multiple birds with one stone. Use Qingshuang to kill the courtiers and deal with me, and if that fails, let Qingshuang explode to see if you can up."
There was something Mo Chen didn't figure out: "How can Qingshuang explode?"
Tang Yingying explained: "Originally, Qingshuang was poisoned. In this case, if someone pours something into the green frost, a variety of toxins will mix in the body, irritating the blood vessels and the heart, forming an explosion-like gas."
"Then, with a bang, it became like that. However, this time must be grasped well, otherwise you and I have not yet come, and Qingshuang will already be dead."
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and thought about the suspicious person, "It seems that some fish are hidden deeply."
Tang Yingying also thought so, you must know that Mo Chen has checked the Criminal Department and other departments many times, and even the palace has been checked, but there are still so many details.
"There's also a chance that this person has just been bought. In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who do everything for the sake of profit."
As soon as Mo Chen raised his hand, there was a secret guard to investigate this matter.
"I'll leave the matter here to the Criminal Department, and I'll take you down to wash up first."
Tang Yingying looked at the way she looked now, no better than a beggar, she had to wash and wash herself.
By the time Mo Chen and Tang Yingying had washed up, the Criminal Department had already found a clue.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department stood at the bottom and saluted respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, I found out that it was a jailer named Cui Laosan, who had bullied Qingshuang before she died."
"But Qingshuang didn't scream at all, and seemed to have a conversation with Cui Laosan. As for the content of the conversation between the two, it is unknown that this Cui Laosan was found dead in his own house."
Things like this are all too common in prisons, and those women who are slightly better-looking will be bullied by the jailers if they have no background or backing.
This kind of thing Tang Ying
Ying and Mo Chen are clear, and the two of them also understand that this cannot be changed.
Even if there are no jailers who bully the women in the prison, individual women will take the initiative to hook up with the jailers in order to live a good life in the prison or to leave alive.
"Have you found out the details of this Cui Laosan?" Mo Chen asked.
The Criminal Department Shangshu: "It's been clarified. This Cui Laosan is a widower, and his ex-wife divorced him because she couldn't stand his alcoholism and beatings, and his parents were angry with him because of his alcoholism."
"This man usually only likes to drink a little wine, and when he drinks, he will get drunk like mud, and when he is drunk, he will make trouble and beat people, causing a lot of trouble, and he is penniless because of it.
But now Cui Laosan has bought a lot of good wine, and those wines are not something he can afford. What's more, Wechen is still investigating."
Hearing this, Mo Chen and Tang Yingying already understood. The other party took advantage of Cui Laosan's good wine and asked him to pour something into Qingshuang, so that this happened.
"You should find out about this matter as soon as possible." Mo Chen said in a deep voice: "Besides, I don't want to have any more people like Cui Laosan, how can I do things if my morality is not good?"
The sweat of the criminal department Shangshu rained down: "Yes. Your Royal Highness the Regent, there is another strange thing. Originally, I caught several of Qingshuang's companions, but these people seem to have escaped."
"Whether these people escaped or were killed by the bombing, Wechen will find out."
Mo Chen guessed that these people should have escaped injured, and since someone arranged it, they would definitely rescue these people.
"You continue to investigate this case, and if necessary, you can ask the Nine Cities Terracotta Division to assist."
Shang Shu of the Criminal Department saluted and responded: "His Royal Highness the Regent, King Ming and King Cheng have been injured a lot, will the two of them still be placed in the Criminal Department, or will the two of them be placed separately?"
If it weren't for the fact that these two people were locked up in the innermost part of the prison of the Criminal Department, there was a distance from Qingshuang, and I was afraid that these two people would be crippled if they didn't die today.
Mo Chen said lightly, "The two of them are still locked up in the Criminal Department. Is there any movement between these two men?"
The book of the criminal department: "In the past two days, there have been many people who have come to visit King Ming and King Cheng, and they are all wives and concubines and housekeepers in the palace of the two. But in the past two days, Wechen found out a lot of things about King Ming and King Cheng, but these things came strangely."
"Weichen suspects that it may be King Ming and King Cheng who took the opportunity to frame each other for their own interests or calculations."
The main reason is that the timing is too coincidental, as soon as the family members of King Ming and King Cheng come to visit the two, the criminal department will find a lot of evidence of the two people's crimes, how to think about it.
Mo Chen had expected this to be the case: "Keep checking. There is always a time when the tricks are finished."
The criminal department Shangshu understood, and lit a wax for King Ming and King Cheng. It's not good for these two people to provoke anyone, but they want to keep provoking His Royal Highness the Regent, His Royal Highness the Regent is so easy to provoke?
Mo Chen explained a few more words, and then left the criminal department with Tang Yingying.
"Today has been full of twists and turns." Tang Yingying stretched her waist: "The only pity is that I didn't get some useful clues, and I lost such a chess piece as Qingshuang."
"If I had known that something like this would happen, I should have interrogated Qingshuang and the others on the spot."
Mo Chen touched her head and said with relief, "Don't think so much, we'll find out who did it."
Tang Yingying didn't care about this: "It's just a little annoying. You say, 'This man will make trouble, and he has killed so many innocent people.'"
Even Xin Xing was implicated by her.
Mo Chen could see that her mood was not going well, and he coaxed her patiently.
While they were coaxing, the two saw a young man with a public face and a costume from the Criminal Department walking over.
He saluted Mo Chen and Tang Yingying, and walked in silently.
Tang Yingying looked at his back and pressed her elbow against Mochen: "Do you think that the way he looked at us at that moment was very wrong?"
It was that moment, if she hadn't been bored and paying attention to this strange man, she really wouldn't have noticed.
Mo Chen paid more attention and ordered the secret guard to investigate, before he said to Tang Yingying, "This person should be a newcomer to the Criminal Department."
"New here...... Tang Yingying narrowed her eyes: "At this juncture, any new official is suspicious, and no one can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with this person."
"Alright, leave the rest to the Dark Guard, let's go first."
Mo Chen helped her into the carriage, and then the carriage drove away.
When Tang Yingying returned to Xin's house, Tang Ying came to her courtyard and said that she had something to tell her.
"What do you have to tell me?" She motioned for Xiaomei to help her massage her shoulders, and leaned back on the back of the chair a little lazily.
There was irritation between Tang Ying's eyebrows: "It's not the regent who made trouble."
Tang Yingying: "?? The regent didn't look for you, did he? What does it have to do with him?"
Tang Ying explained: "The one in the private school wants to use me to climb the high branch of the regent, and flatter me openly and secretly."
"If I refuse, I will say all sorts of unpleasant things. I don't mind these unpleasant things, but I'm annoyed by them, and they disturb my studies very much."
It's not a matter of a day or two, it's a matter of many days.
Tang Yingying is not surprised that such a thing will happen, for those people in the private school, there is Tang Ying's shortcut to get close to the regent of the current dynasty, why not take advantage of it?
"It's a test for you. If you can become an official in the future, you will face more difficulties and dangers than this."
Tang Ying didn't understand this: "It's ...... It's annoying."
Tang Yingying smiled: "It's very annoying. But you have to understand that this person lives in the world, and it is impossible for him to do one thing purely and socially."
"With socializing, there is trouble. Even if you're not social, when you're a withdrawn master, there will be people who make irresponsible comments, you know?"
Tang Ying heard something: "What does my sister mean, let me solve this matter by myself?"
Tang Ying bowed: "If I or the regent come forward to help you solve it, how will you grow? Besides, those people will try to use you again."
"Tang Ying, you are not young anymore, don't just think about studying and participating in the imperial examination, you have to learn to deal with these things, so that you can be comfortable in front of anything."
