"Your Majesty, Forsythia knows her crime and will not dare to do it again."

He glanced at Forsythia kneeling in front of him with satisfaction, and lay back on the beauty's couch with a smile.

"Those who are not used by me no longer need to worry about them."

"yes……"

The sound was as small as a mosquito, and Su Mumu smiled and continued to eat the grapes.

On the second day of the King Ceremony, Su Mumu had just gone to court in the morning when she received Lin Shangqing's reference to King Rui.

"Your Majesty, King Rui was originally the prince of Nanqi. Now he joins us in Xihe and is crowned king. It is not in line with the ancestral system. What's more, King Rui went to the former residence of the Minister of War who was murdered yesterday, and kept saying that he wanted to take over the residence of the Minister of War.

The remaining inheritance is euphemistically called to enrich the national treasury, but in fact he is lining his own pockets. Please ask the emperor to uphold justice."

Su Mumu remembered that the prince did not have to attend the morning court. She looked at the courtiers lined up in the palace and found that Prince Rui and Prince Ling were indeed not there.

"The minister of the Ministry of War was exterminated, and no one inherited the inheritance. As King Rui said, it is okay to take it over and replenish the national treasury. Moreover, King Rui is also the chief minister, so what he said is true. It seems that Lin Shangqing is overly worried."

Lin Shangqing continued to refute while stroking three strands of black hair.

"Your Majesty, even though King Rui wanted to receive the inheritance to replenish the treasury, Cao Tianyun, the brother-in-law of the Minister of War, went to the countryside to collect rent a few days ago, so he luckily escaped. King Rui forcefully accepted the inheritance and had a conflict with Cao Tianyun. King Rui moved

He killed Cao Tianyun on the spot. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If he is not severely punished, he may not be able to convince the public."

Su Mumu hated King Rui the most, but he also understood his character very well. Nan Mulin had a vicious personality, and such childish behavior of beating someone to death on the spot was definitely not his fault. Su Mumu deduced that there must be something fishy in it.

"Why did the two of them conflict? Why did King Rui beat Cao Tianyun to death?"

Lin Shangqing was asked by Su Mumu for a long time before he coughed and returned.

"One of them robbed me, and the other refused to let me go. The two of them pushed and shoved me. In the end, they naturally started to take action."

It seems to make sense, but the more he talks about it, the more he behaves like a child. For Nan Mulin, who always pays attention to strategy, he simply doesn't bother to do this kind of thing.

"How was Cao Tianyun killed?"

Lin Shangqing turned around and snorted coldly when Su Mumu asked a little impatiently.

"Could it be that the emperor deliberately favored Prince Rui? Not only did he not hold Prince Rui to account, but he repeatedly asked about irrelevant matters."

Su Mumu looked unhappy when she heard this, but she still spoke softly.

"I will neither favor King Rui nor let Cao Tianyun die innocently, but doing some investigation before determining the truth of the matter is an indispensable procedure. If it is as Lin Shangqing said, it was King Rui who bullied the weak and killed him.

Cao Tianyun, I will naturally make Prince Rui’s life worth his own.”

The sound of the phoenix's cry is clear and sweet, and people who hear it can't help but agree with it.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. In my opinion, it is better to investigate the whole matter first. It would not be good if someone is wrongly accused casually..."

Wu Zuotu, who had always been a loser, came out of the team to make remarks. Lin Shangqing, who had nowhere to vent his grievances, heard the words and glared at Wu Zuotu who was talking nonsense.

However, before Wu Zuotu finished speaking, several neutral ministers came out to directly admonish him.

"Okay, since all the beloved ministers are such sensible people, I will ask the Ministry of Punishment to find out the authenticity of this moment and report it to me within three days. In addition, King Rui has just taken over the fiefdom and other matters. Before the matter is found out,

Beforehand, please keep someone on guard to prevent you from escaping, and no one else can interfere with King Rui's freedom of movement."

Lin Shangqing, who heard that Su Mumu's words were reasonable and made groundless accusations against Nan Mulin, could only suppress the memorial for the time being and prepare to discuss it later.

After coming out of the court hall, Su Mumu went to Xihe's library.

Jialanjiajie doesn't care about worldly affairs now, and only concentrates on reading the books of saints and sages, drinking tea and reading in the library.

"Brother Jiajie is so elegant that he hides in this comfortable place, but he leaves me in the court hall to suffer torture."

He waved his hand and motioned for Su Mumu to sit down opposite.

Su Mumu, who had something on her mind, did not sit down cooperatively, and still stood there looking at a book in one hand and a glass of Jialan in the other.

"I am going out of the palace, and I would like to ask my brother to accompany me."

He dipped his hands into the boiling water for tea and wrote down where to go on the table. Su Mumu read it and said immediately.

"Go to the Criminal Department to inspect Cao Tianyun's body."

Not knowing who the Cao Tianyun Su Mumu mentioned was, Jialanjiajie stood up from the coffee table and came to Su Mumu in a few steps.

Reaching out her hand and making a walking gesture, Su Mumu took the lead and walked out of the library with a smile.

Jialanjiajie and Forsythia followed Su Mumu to the punishment department.

Arriving in front of the door where Cao Tianyun's body was parked, the guard took the key and opened the door. The smell of corpse made Jialanjia sneeze several times.

Su Mumu, who didn't care, entered the room first and lifted up the shroud to check.

Cao Tianyun's face looked natural, and there were no signs of being beaten to death as Lin Shangqing said.

The officer was ordered to turn the person over, and Su Mumu looked at his back, legs, and feet again to confirm his conclusion, and then ordered the officer to place Cao Tianyun's body again.

"I have met the emperor."

Lin Shangqing, who happened to have read a book about King Rui, also came to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire about the news. When he met Su Mumu coming out of the morgue, he was dissatisfied and ridiculed her.

"It seems that the Ministry of Punishments has no more capable people, so His Majesty Lao Lao personally came to investigate and authenticate."

After leaving the morgue, Su Mumu didn't feel surprised at all when she met Lin Shangqing. After carefully washing her hands, she took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Forsythia and wiped them before Su Mumu returned casually.

"Lin Shangqing's words are serious. I am a doctor myself, and coming here to check is just a professional habit. If it arouses Lin Shangqing's doubts, I didn't think carefully."

Not believing what Su Mumu said at all, Lin Shangqing bowed and said goodbye, then turned to leave.

"Lin Shangqing, was there any witness present when King Rui beat Cao Tianyun to death?"

I don't know what kind of medicine Su Mumu sells in the gourd. Lin Shangqing weighed it again and again before replying.

"A follower who accompanied Cao Tianyun to the countryside to collect rent saw it with his own eyes."

Su Mumu nodded after hearing this and gave orders to everyone around.

"Go find this person."

Not long after, his entourage brought him.

"I have met the emperor..."

He knelt down tremblingly, his head lowered and not daring to move at all.

"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you how Cao Tianyun was beaten to death by King Rui at that time. Please tell me and tell me."

The kowtowing situation froze in place, and the attendant said he obeyed, and then gave an overview of the matter.

"Your Majesty, at that time King Rui said that he wanted to take him over. Cao Tianyun stopped him in front of the palace of the Minister of War, refusing to let him live or die. Later, King Rui stepped aside and was about to leave. At this moment, one of King Rui's subordinates was angry and pushed him away, yelling and scolding.
