Chapter 254 Ji Mingcheng is locked up
The next morning court, Ji Mingcheng took the lead in asking, "Your Majesty, two days have passed, Lord Shen has not found out whether the murderer is..."
"Who said he didn't find the murderer?" The emperor interrupted him directly and looked at Ji Mingcheng with a gloomy look.
Ji Mingcheng was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Who is the murderer?"
The emperor sneered and said mockingly: "Do you really know who Ji Aiqing is?"
"What does the emperor mean? How can I know about this kind of thing?" Ji Mingcheng's heart skipped a beat, his face instantly turned pale as paper, and he looked at the emperor in surprise and panic.
The emperor threw a token in front of him and said indifferently: "Look at it for yourself!"
Ji Mingcheng trembled and picked up the token, but saw the word "Ji" engraved on it. He was so scared that his whole body trembled, and his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.
All the ministers were shocked by the sudden change and started to whisper.
"What did Shangshu Ji do to make the emperor so angry?"
"I don't know, can he have anything to do with the murderer who killed Prime Minister Luo?"
"Shh, just keep your voice down, don't guess."
"But……"
"If you dare to say something more, just wait and lose your head."
“…”
Ji Mingcheng was covered in cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize, "The emperor forgives the crime, I really don't know about this..."
"I don't know anything." The emperor snorted contemptuously.
"I am wronged, Your Majesty!" Ji Mingcheng cried bitterly, "I have never planned to murder Prime Minister Luo. Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly. I am really wronged!"
"You are still quibbling?" The emperor glared at Ji Mingcheng and said sternly: "Prime Minister Luo has always been in a bad mood. It's okay if you compete in secret on weekdays, but now you have lost all your conscience and bribed Japanese pirates to kill Prime Minister Luo's family. It's really cruel and poisonous.
Heart!"
"Your Majesty, it's unfair! Please be aware of it!" Ji Mingcheng kowtowed and his forehead soon became red and swollen.
The emperor sneered coldly, "Since you don't admit it, then I will now order someone Luo Qingyan, the daughter of Prime Minister Xuan Luo, to come to the palace and let her tell you the truth in person."
Luo Qingyan was Xuan entered the Golden Palace, and above the main hall, she looked pitiful.
"My daughter Luo Qingyan, join the emperor, long live my emperor." Luo Qingyan knelt on the ground, folded her hands on her chest, and saluted her rule.
"Get up." The emperor said lightly.
Luo Qingyan stood up slowly, but still lowered her head and didn't say anything.
"I ask you, can you still recognize the person who chased you that day?" the emperor asked.
Luo Qingyan pursed her lips and shook her head, "Back to the emperor, those men in black were covered with black cloth that day, and the daughter did not dare to confirm it, but the daughter bit one of them, and the scars should still be there, and another person was caught by the housekeeper.
Bu, the man's face was very ferocious." When talking about the past, Luo Qingyan's eyes were slightly red and she stubbornly straightened her back.
"Your Majesty, I remember that there is a famous master in Lord Ji's mansion, and there are many scars on his face." Shen Lanze took the opportunity to stand out and said.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Since that's the case, I'll bring him over and let Miss Luo see if it's this person."
"Your Majesty, this is clearly a intentional frame-up. I have never done such a thing." Ji Mingcheng was completely confused. He didn't expect Shen Lanze to find Luo Qingyan, and he didn't expect that the man would reveal his appearance.
Unfortunately, Ji Mingcheng's rebuttal was invalid. Half an hour later, a man was taken to the main hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor."
"Yes." The emperor nodded, his eyes fell on the man and said, "Raise your head and let me see it."
The man raised his head when he heard this, and the long scar on his face was extremely ferocious.
This face...
Luo Qingyan frowned. Although this face was difficult to identify, she would never remember it wrong.
"It's him, he, just killed my father, he!" Luo Qingyan could no longer suppress it, tears flowed down her cheeks, and a roar of grief sounded in the hall.
Seeing this, Chen Lanze quickly comforted him: "Miss Luo, don't be excited for now."
Ji Mingcheng was also anxious and shouted at the man: "Why? Why did you kill Prime Minister Luo? I kindly wanted to take you in, but you trapped me in unkindness and unjustness!"
He walked towards the man in one trembling step, reached out to grab the collar of his chest and asked.
The man was stunned and then smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Ji, for taking me in, but I have an irreconcilable grudge with the Luo family? I will never stop until I die!"
"You..." Ji Mingcheng pointed at the man angrily and pretended to be heartbroken.
The man even pushed him away and bowed: "One person does things and one person. It is indeed me who killed Prime Minister Luo's family. This matter has nothing to do with Lord Ji, it is all done by me!"
Seeing this, Ji Mingcheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really nothing to do with me."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "What a matter has nothing to do with you. I have given you a chance, but you don't cherish it yourself."
The emperor threw down the evidence of his embezzlement in his hand, and then sternly said: "Look at these things and see how many things you have done that are harmful to heaven! You dare to call an injustice here!
Ji Mingcheng bent down and picked up the memorials on the ground. The evidence on it made him breathe a breath!
"Come"
The Imperial Guard immediately ran to the Golden Palace, "Emperor."
"Send Ji Mingcheng to the Ministry of Justice and wait for the death to come." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the emperor." The Imperial Guard nodded.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! It's unfair!" Ji Mingcheng said in panic.
"Drag on." The emperor waved impatiently and signaled the Imperial Guards to take Ji Mingcheng away quickly.
Luo Qingyan looked at this scene, and a cold curve rose up at the corner of her mouth, and she returned to calm in an instant.
"Miss Luo, I know that you are very sad now. Just ask for any requests you have. I will try my best to satisfy you." The emperor suddenly spoke.
Luo Qingyan was stunned and knelt on the ground and said, "When my father was alive, he had been investigating the case of Taifu Chen. Before he died, he gave the things he had investigated to his daughter for protection. The daughter begged the emperor to investigate the case again to comfort him. Father’s Spirit in Heaven.”
The emperor was silent, and the ministers were so scared that they held their breath. It was so bold that they dared to raise such requests.
Chen Lanze never expected that she would make such a request, and looked at the person kneeling there in surprise, and felt a lot of food in his heart.
He doesn't want to implicate others because of this, nor does he want to owe favors because of this.
"What are you talking nonsense? The case of Taifu Chen is personally tried by the emperor. How could an unjust case happen? Why don't you take back what you just said!" Junziheng winked at her without listening, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Luo Qingyan smiled slightly, and said without fear of death: "The words you said, the water you poured out can be taken back, and why did your highness not like me? You took me in and locked me in the room and said, I will believe me no matter what happens? I will also say I will marry me!"
This instantly caused an uproar, and the court officials began to discuss it.
Junziheng's face turned pale and his eyes were staring at Luo Qingyan. He didn't expect that this weak woman would be out of his control. He had known that she would not have left her at the beginning!
