He took Mu Yunjiang directly to the Ministry of Punishment.

*

Shen Xingnan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, has always considered the Ministry of Punishment as his home. He has never been married and has always regarded running errands for the imperial court as his own responsibility.

At this moment, I was planning to take a rest, but I heard that the Third Prince's Mansion had brought Jiang Qi, a genius litigator, so he immediately dressed up and welcomed him out with great ceremony.

But when he saw the little boy standing in the study, he was stunned and couldn't believe it. He quickly pulled Asuo out of the door and asked strangely in a low voice:

"Isn't this just a child who has not yet reached adulthood? Are you sure this is the ghost Jiang Qi?"

Think about it, the rumors about Jiang Qi in the world are magical.

As long as he takes on the case, no matter how bizarre it is, he can solve it.

It was also said that Jiang Qi was short.

But Shen Xingnan thought that no matter how short he was, he would still be young and must be a sophisticated crime-solving expert with a calm and steady appearance - but his appearance was that of a child who might still be playing in the mud.

"Why, Mr. Shen thinks that because I am short, I don't have the real talent and knowledge to solve cases, right?"

Mu Yunjiang followed him out and said loudly: "Due to water and soil problems, the men over there in Lingbei are all short, both male and female. But the men over there are all upright men. If you can defend Lingbei, you can protect yourself." He lives with his wife and children. There is a general who defends the city in the north of Ling, Zhang Peng. He may be small, but he is a first-class warrior. The taller ones are no match for him..."

That means: Don't underestimate the little guy.

When Shen Xingnan heard this, he immediately felt that he was indeed a man with good intentions:

As for Zhang Peng, not many people knew him, but that man was indeed a brave general and an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He had seen him before.

He quickly turned his head and bowed deeply: "Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, it's just that I had some surprises... Please don't blame me..."

"Master Shen, I wonder if you can let me go see His Highness the Third Highness. In addition, I have to interrogate Mu Yuntao..." She didn't waste any more nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Of course it's okay. Please..."

Shen Xingnan signaled and took the lead. The two of them left the Criminal Department and went to the Tianlao - because it was related to the East Palace, both Mu Yuntao and the Third Highness were imprisoned in the Tianlao.

The guards there are all the emperor's personal soldiers, and no one else can approach. However, Shen Xingnan has obtained the emperor's order, and he can assist Jiang Qi, the genius litigator, in handling the case. He has a token in his hand, which allows him to come and go freely.

Sitting in a carriage, they walked on the road for a long time before arriving at the Tianlao.

The people guarding the sky prison carefully checked the tokens and put the three people into prison.

After a while, they arrived at Cell No. 9.

Although he was in a cage, Xiao Qiyu looked as usual and was meditating.

On the other side, Mu Yuntao was walking back and forth, looking a little impetuous.

The differences between people are so clear at a glance.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, someone is here."

When Mu Yuntao saw Master Shen bringing a child over, he was confused. It was getting so late, what did Master Shen mean?

Xiao Qiyu's eyes saw that his sworn brother was back, and the corners of his lips curled up.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I've been in a situation these past few days. I heard about what happened here a little too late, which made you tired..." Mu Yunjiang stepped forward and the cell leader opened the door.

"Aqi, I wish you could come. I'm just sorry. I may have gotten you into some trouble that you don't want to get involved in..."

Xiao Qiyu felt a little guilty.

Mu Yunjiang glanced at the cell next to him and stared at his silly third brother with wide eyes. The guy shouted: "Your Highness... he... he... is he that ghost?"

"Um."

Xiao Qiyu nodded.

"But this...this is one..."

"Child, right?"

Mu Yunjiang sighed lightly.

"Hmm. You look like a child..."

His Highness the Third Prince actually entrusted their lives to a child? This is too... too much...

"As long as I can save you, does it matter whether you look like a child or not?"

Mu Yunjiang glanced at him.

"Now, please tell me, Mr. Mu Sanlang, what happened to you when the incident happened..."

In fact, she basically already knew the general situation.

But he still had to listen to the story from beginning to end to see if there was anything he missed.

Mu Yuntao's retelling is as follows:

"That day, I went out to play and met Luo Jun, who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with me. After that, we went to the theater together, talked happily, went to have a drink, and got drunk after eating. I woke up in a private house with a dead body lying next to me. I ran away. I don’t remember how I got there. Luo Jun, who I was drinking with, has disappeared..."

This is the whole truth.

Shen Xingnan of the Criminal Department added in due course: "I asked Luo Jun before. He was not dead at that time. He once said that he came to drink with Mu Yuntao. But he left after drinking until midnight. The waiter in the tavern can testify. Therefore, it can basically be ruled out that this matter has anything to do with Luo Jun..."

Haha, how could this be ruled out?

This is what Luo Jun did.

But now, Luo Jun is dead, and there is no evidence of his death, so this clue is useless.

"Master Shen, have you ever asked the waiter in the tavern how Mr. Mu Sanlang left?"

Mu Yunjiang continued to ask questions.

The person who answered her was Xiao Qiyu: "I asked someone to check and it was Miss Lianxin who took away Mr. Mu Sanlang. Lianxin claimed to be Mr. Sanlang's sweetheart."

"There is absolutely no such thing. That pity and I don't know each other at all." Mu Yuntao almost swore to the sky.

Xiao Qiyu added: "That day, Lianxin took a special leave. After leaving the East Palace, he went directly to the tavern. On the surface, Lianxin had nothing to do with Luo Jun, so we can't insist on telling this. The two people got involved and said that they were the ones who set the scene and wanted to harm Mu Yuntao.

"The important thing is that Lian Xin couldn't risk his own life. So, at that time, they might have just created an illusion: Mu Yuntao raped Lian Xin, and then sent Luo Jun to prison... but it turned out that Lian Xin turned out to be Lian Xin. My heart was killed..."

After hearing this, Mu Yunjiang asked: "What was the cause of Lianxin's death?"

"Stabbed to death with a dagger."

Shen Xingnan replied.

"Have you ever had an autopsy done?"

"Tested.

"I need to try it again."

Otherwise, she just wanted to verify a conjecture that could clear the third brother of his crime...
