From his mouth, they dug out Tuoba Lingyun. It was just because Liu Xia and Tuoba Lingyun had a feud, so the Ministry of Punishment needed to come forward to put Tuoba Lingyun to death.

As a result, since Liu Hongtao arrived in Longdu, he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid all day long, and he has not been able to get any advantageous confessions from the Ministry of Punishment.

Liu Xia knew that Tuoba Lingyun was one of the masterminds of Black Wind Village, but the leader of Black Wind Village, Huang Long, was dead, and the only witness was Liu Hongtao. Now, Liu Hongtao is also dead.

Things became very difficult.

Caiwei's mind-reading ability can know the truth, but that cannot be used as evidence.

After all, it would be too childish for a dignified prince to be killed just because of a few words from a little girl.

Fortunately, Liu Xia now has Tan Yong and Xiang Dongmei in his hands.

These two people are enough to prove Tuoba Lingyun's second identity. Originally, Liu Xia kept two people as spares, but now it looks like they may come in handy.

First, take down Tuoba Lingyun, and then you can find out all the dirty tricks behind Black Wind Village.

As for whether Tuoba Lingyun has any relationship with Princess Chang'an or the prince, Liu Xia is not sure yet. However, it is not enough to rely on Tuoba Lingyun to be the emperor.

Because he is not from a noble family, there is no hope if he wants to usurp the throne.

Liu Xia guessed that the prince or Princess Chang'an was the final mastermind of Black Wind Village.

Upon entering the Punishment Department, Zhao Changgong hurriedly welcomed him out. After some pleasantries, Zhao Changgong took Liu Xia directly into the Punishment Department Prison.

The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is also called the Tianlao.

Only real criminals are qualified to be imprisoned here. Generally speaking, people imprisoned here have almost no hope or hope of getting out.

As soon as he stepped off the steps of the Tianlao, Liu Xia frowned at the rotten smell.

There is no sunlight all day long, it is extremely dark and humid, and even the steps are covered with moss.

Inside the prison, there was an air of death.

Arriving at the door of Liu Hongtao's cell, Liu Xia couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Liu Hongtao was lying on the ground, already dead.

However, his hair was unkempt and his prison uniform was stained with blood. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to tell that this man was the commander-in-chief of the capital who was all-powerful in Wuzhou.

Liu Xia knelt down and took a closer look. Liu Hongtao's face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot, but the blood at the corner of his mouth was green. He had obviously died of poisoning.

"How did the poison get into the prison?"

Liu Xia turned around and asked.

"My subordinates are investigating."

Zhao Changgong hurriedly bowed his waist and said.

"That's all, don't waste any time."

Liu Xia waved his hand and said.

"this……"

"Tomorrow morning, you can report to His Majesty and see how His Majesty will deal with him. You don't need to worry about the rest. By the way, how is the Ma Xiao case now?"

Liu Xia raised her head and asked.

"Well, we already have an idea. According to what Ma Xiao said, we did receive an order from the Protector of the Country that day. The minister has already written a memorial and submitted it to the Holy One, but the Holy One has not made a decision yet, so the minister does not dare to rush

Case closed.”

Zhao Changgong said.

"I understand. I am busy with official duties, so I will not disturb you. I will take my leave."

Having said this, Liu Xia walked towards the outside of the prison.

I originally thought of letting Liu Hongtao give Tuoba Lingyun an end, but now I see that I have no choice but to do it myself.
