Chapter 336 Abusing the Prince, Cheating the Emperor 4
Song Zhao smiled, "The third brother of the courtier's daughter and the Ministry of Criminal Justice took up the case of the missing girl together. The third brother of the courtier's daughter was chasing down the murderer day and night. His Royal Highness gave the third brother as the culprit at the exit. Is there any evidence?"
The prince was speechless after being interrogated.
He immediately said, "The chief interrogator in the solitary punishment department has 15 years of experience in handling cases, and he has never missed a case. With your third brother, a fledgling boy, he thinks that he can call a thief if he accepts the case."
He couldn't produce evidence, but the chief judge's experience is enough to prove his strength.
Anyway, all the incriminating evidence has been destroyed, and the fatal information is gone, and it is easy to catch a concubine.
Under such conditions, Emperor Yuan Chun of course favored the prince, so he said to Song Zhao with a black face, "The prince's ability as the presiding judge is obvious to all, and there is absolutely no problem. Your three brothers committed crimes. Arresting people is a bit reckless, but you shouldn't besiege the Criminal Department, you know, this is the next crime."
"It seems that the prince can't produce any evidence."
Song Zhao licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly harder.
She said indifferently,
"Since that's the case, there are some secret letters here, my lord, please read them."
The words fell.
Fu Nanqian, who was waiting outside, immediately came in with a stack of sealed letters and saluted everyone.
Emperor Yuan Chun glanced over and saw that the secret letter was sealed tightly, which was very mysterious.
Fu Nanqian handed it to Emperor Yuan Chun respectfully and respectfully.
Emperor Yuan Chun opened the letter curiously. There were several sheets of letter paper, densely written in block letters.
The prince and Queen Gu looked at each other, a little confused about what Song Zhao had done.
But they suffered a few losses in Song Zhao's hands, and they felt that it was not a good thing.
Soon, they saw Emperor Yuan Chun staring at the letter paper with an uneasy face.
Suddenly, uncontrollable panic surged in my heart.
The prince turned his head slightly, and happened to meet Song Zhao's intriguing eyes.
That look seemed to tell him, this time you are going to lose to me again.
People always sense hunches and intuitions before a crisis strikes.
The prince's heart sank straight down.
But he racked his brains and thought for a while, and he felt that he was sure to win this time, so what could Song Zhao have against him?
At this moment, what appeared in the letter were all kinds of illegal transactions, as well as true, false and wrong cases during the years that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had handed over to the crown prince.
Compared with Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment has obviously received more cases, and all the cases received are from various dignitaries and dignitaries.
For example, if a son killed someone by mistake, he asked the Ministry of Punishment to walk around the backstage and find someone to take the blame for the dead ghost.
The prince relied on this to win contacts.
Not only that, but the prince also used the Ministry of Criminal Justice to launder money, accept bribes, and do tax evasion.
After reading the letter, the expression on Emperor Yuan Chun's face was beyond description. He almost crushed the letter paper with his hands, and stared at the prince with cold eyes.
The prince tensed up.
Royal father, this is obviously angry.
Empress Gu was anxious, "My lord, what are these..."
"You mother and son, take a look for yourself, and then give me an explanation."
Emperor Yuanchun smashed the letter on the prince's face, dizzy with anger.
He is a power-hungry emperor, and he gritted his teeth when he handed over the Ministry of Punishment to the crown prince.
But what did the prince do?
Empress Gu and the prince read the letter nervously, and only halfway through it, the expressions of the mother and son changed completely.
