Xie Xian’s voice was clear and gentle. He did not sound overbearing, but his attitude was very clear. How could Wang Lun not escape this interrogation?

” Someone,” he raised his voice slightly.” Go and invite Assistant Minister Wang Lun over.””

Cui Yan hesitated for a moment but didn’t take that step.

Xie Xian smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Go and invite Assistant Minister Wang over for questioning.’The Emperor was forcing the Xi family to take a side, but he had to hand Sun Sheng’s matter to him. He even sent Xie Xian to supervise and drag Wang Lun out.

If it were up to him, it would end here. It was the Emperor’s business whether Wang Lun was dismissed or not. It was not up to him, the Minister of Justice, to hold him accountable.

But now that Wang Lun was involved, the in-laws were confronting each other. How could they still do the marriage?

The Emperor probably did not have a peaceful mind and did not want the Xi and Wang families to get married.

He was the pitiful duck that had been chased onto the shelves!

Assistant Minister Cui moved, and the torture chamber fell silent.

Both the Wang and Xie families lived in Wuyi Alley. No one knew more than Xie Xian, but he had been sitting in the same place, waiting with Xi Shangshu for Wang Lun to arrive.

Wang Lun was in his thirties. He was round and chubby. His face was so chubby that his eyes were almost gone.

He didn’t want to be long-winded. He admitted that he had made a mistake and was willing to take joint responsibility, but there was no more. He did not drag out the Crown Prince, nor did he accept the request of Secondary Consort Sun.

“I, Wang Lun, am a man of indomitable spirit. 1 admit my mistake. The other false accusations are purely false. People sometimes make mistakes, horses sometimes stumble, and no one can live their lives without making mistakes.” “That Sun Sheng is quite knowledgeable and has a good reputation. I’ve asked all of his neighbors about this, but no one expected him to have an official position and be blinded. It’s also my fault for not recognizing people clearly.” After saying that, he looked up at the sky and sighed.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was so fat that his neck couldn’t be seen, he would really have some generosity.

Xiao Se didn’t seem to have any meaning. Instead, he seemed to be lamenting why the Roast Goose, which should have been delicious, couldn’t taste like it did yesterday.

Wang Lun was still an official and had not been convicted or imprisoned, so he did not kneel on the ground. The wooden stool that Minister Xi had asked someone to move up was not sitting either. He stood there stiffly.

“This is all?” The Crown Prince didn’t instruct or order you to recommend Sun Sheng?”

This question was too skillful, and the effect was the same as not asking. However, Xie Xian did not say anything. The interrogation was not under his jurisdiction, so he did not want to overstep his authority.

“I have the strength of character of an aristocratic family. How can 1 be ordered around by the Crown Prince?” 1 have my own judgment.”

“Yes, but your judgment is wrong this time.”Xie Xian couldn’t help but laugh. He really couldn’t help it.

Since it’s already like this, stop bragging.

If you admit it, then admit it. If you want to clear your name, then clear your name. Can you not brag about yourself? Your skin is thick, but it hurts when others hear it.

Wang Lun sneered. He naturally felt that Xie Xian was not worthy of the word ‘strength of strength’. Even if he were to defeat the Crown Prince, he was not worthy of the word ‘strength of strength’. He merely wanted to kill the Crown Prince because he relied on the Emperor, and he had the Emperor’s backing. Even if the Emperor valued the Crown Prince, if you still dared to defeat the Crown Prince, then you have the ability and strength of character.

Xie Xian knew very well that some of the children of aristocratic families were lustful and did not know what strength of character was. However, there was another group of people who were already possessed by the word ‘strength of strength’. They would charge forward in everything, but if they were to be slightly flexible-it was over.

Minister Xi didn’t continue to ask, and Xie Xian didn’t add insult to injury. He only detained Wang Lun and waited for Emperor Yu Heng’s personal judgment. Minister Xi’s impression of Xie Xian improved a little. At least he was very gentlemanly and did not willingly become the Emperor’s executioner and order people around.

It was just that whether this matter was done satisfactorily or not did not depend on the two of them, but on the Emperor.

Emperor Yu Heng was naturally dissatisfied.”His fingers tapped on the confession, and his nostrils were puffed up from anger.

He almost threw the confession at Minister Xi’s ugly face.

Then, she turned to look at Xie Xian to relieve her boredom.

“What do you think, dear minister?”

“Minister Xi has been in charge of the Board of Punishments for many years, so he naturally has his own set of rules. I’m just afraid that my nonsense will disturb Minister Xi’s investigation.”Xie Xian replied.

His words were really clean, but they were also reasonable. If Wang Lun’s matter was handed over to the Ministry of Justice, he, the Minister of Personnel Affairs, could not force himself to do so.

Xie Xian did not overturn the Ministry of Justice and stir up trouble like Emperor Yu Heng had hoped. In fact, he was not very satisfied. However, it was only for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, Xie Xian was not that kind of person who would use a chicken feather as an arrow.

He was a capable minister, but he was not an incompetent minister.

He had taken it for granted.

If Xie Xian followed his wishes today and forced Wang Lun to confess, he would draw a clear line between Minister Xi and the Wang family and point his sword at the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace…Would he dare to use it in the future?

He dared to, but if he wanted to leave Xie Xian to Liu ‘er, he did not dare to take this risk.

This was just right.

Emperor Yu Heng had thought it through, and his anger had eased.

He threw the confession on the ground lightly.” This is not a closed case. Wang Lun is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, a noble from an aristocratic family. Without anyone introducing him, how could he know a kid from a humble family and be willing to recommend him? Who did he know Sun Sheng through? Sun Sheng’s reputation and past contacts. Investigate them carefully and in detail.”

“If you, Minister Xi, can’t even do this, or don’t want to do it, you can quit.” “Minister Xi has been in charge of the Ministry of Justice for many years. If he has been investigating and handling cases like this, I really can’t rest assured.” Emperor Yu Heng had made it clear that if Minister Xi continued to handle the case passively, he could forget about being the Minister of Justice.

Minister Xi didn’t want the aristocratic families to kill each other, nor did he want to offend his future in-laws. However, the Emperor’s words were right here, and the knife was already at his neck. Should he die together with the Wang family, or should he immediately cut off his robe and sever his ties?

“.. I accept your orders.”

Minister Xi still had the Xi family behind him, so he didn’t want to fight the emperor head-on.

After all, the aristocratic families had been through the Song Dynasty for decades. In addition to the previous wars, their influence was no longer as strong as before. They were in a mess.

Even the Yuan family, which was a joke in Jiankang City today, was still one of the four great families when Daliang was first established.

What was left now?

Let’s go together.

After hearing Emperor Yu Heng’s words, Chief Justice Xi sat at the table and didn’t say anything for a long time. In the end, he only sighed.

Minister Xi knew what he had to do. He didn’t dare to hold back and immediately investigated Wang Lun.

There was no need for any witnesses or material evidence. Sun Sheng confessed after being beaten up. It was the Crown Prince that Secondary Consort Sun begged for. At that time, it was the Crown Prince’s Scheeren Yin Qing who personally brought him to Wang Lun.

Why didn’t Sun Sheng make a move back then?

Minister Xi didn’t lead the conversation to that point.

How could Xie Xian not understand? He didn’t say anything, but he still accepted Minister Xi’s favor.

However, when he turned around and sent the message again, he hit Sun Sheng’s body and hurt his face. The feeling of hitting his own face was simply

too sour..
