"Your Majesty, Li Shaojin, the second son of the eldest son of the Li family, came to the Criminal Department to surrender."

It was late at night, and the Criminal Department was very busy. A group of people suddenly came from the Li family. After they understood the situation, they all looked shocked.

Jin Juetian was sorting out the case in the back room of the Criminal Department, and he quickly stopped writing when he heard these words.

"Speak clearly."

Qingsui quickly explained the previous situation in detail, and then added, "...Your Majesty, Concubine Yao has entered the palace at this time. It seems that this case is really related to the Li family."

Just as Li Shunshui expected, after Jin Juetian arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, he ordered the youth to secretly follow every move of the Yong'an City government. Jin Juetian had long known about the Li family's unusual behavior.

"One hundred thousand taels! This Li Shaojin is really very courageous! Tell Li Su to interrogate him in detail. Anyone related to this moment will be brought to trial immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the palace..." Concubine Yao entered the palace this evening, did she want to explore?

"Don't worry about Concubine Yao for the time being. There is still an emperor in the palace. With such a big case happening, the emperor will definitely not be able to sleep."

Dozens of lives have caused such a big public opinion. The emperor must be waiting for the results of the Ministry of Punishment.

Qingsui took the order and left. Jin Juetian lowered his head and looked at the files on the table, his heart getting heavier and heavier.

This case is probably more than just a few dozen lives.

Is she really just making arrangements to bring the case to him just to seek justice?

Soon Jin Juetian knew the answer.

Li Shaojin explained clearly and carefully. In order to save his life, he did not dare to hide anything anymore. Baili Yongkang and Huizhou Zhizhou surfaced. In fact, without him coming, Huizhou Zhizhou would not be able to escape, but this Baili Yongkang

Quite surprising.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment just sent people to Baili's family to pass on Baili Yongkang, but...he couldn't find him. Before that, he went to the Li family. The Li family also made it clear and didn't hide anything. Some people watched him leave Li.

Home, it just happened not long ago, but the person suddenly disappeared. At this time, the Ministry of Punishment has sent people to look for him in the city."

"Disappeared? It's so late at the meeting. It's so late. The city gate has been locked. There is no order to leave the city. It's not that easy to get out of the city. The person must still be in the city. The punishment department has limited manpower. Young man, take my king's

Token, mobilize the city guards to search throughout the city! We must find Baili Yongkang before dawn!"

As soon as Jin Juetian finished speaking, and before Qingsui could respond, word came from outside that Baili Yongkang had been found.

So fast?

Qingsui looked at Jin Juetian, who had already stood up, "Let's go and have a look."

Seeing Jin Juetian, Li Su, the Minister of Punishment, stood up immediately.

"Your Majesty!"

Jin Juetian waved his hand, "Continue the trial. I just came here to take a look." He had been in the back hall just now to avoid affecting their normal trial.

Li Su took the order and returned to the presiding position. Looking at Baili Yongkang who was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face in the hall, his heart skipped a beat.

As soon as the alarm bell sounded, Baili Yongkang came to his senses. After the incident, he knew that something was wrong. He thought that the imperial concubine would have to protect him no matter what. He also expected it, that is, the Li family did not intend to interfere with it.

When he came in, the imperial concubine still tried her best to hide him temporarily, but as soon as he landed, he was knocked unconscious by a man in black, and he woke up at the door of the Criminal Department.

Baili Yongkang wanted to struggle at first, but remained silent and refused to answer.

But Jin Juetian's words made him unable to hold back any longer.

"Now that we are here, who can you point to to protect you? I will say the next sentence here today. This case must be revealed before sunset tomorrow! As long as you commit a crime, you will never be able to escape. In this case, who are you?

I can’t hope for that, Mr. Li, he won’t recruit anyone, so he will just go down and take him into custody until he is convicted tomorrow.”

Li Su complied without saying a word and dragged him down when he was greeted.

"Your Majesty, my lord, this is a small trick!"

Li Su glanced at Jin Juetian and saw that he was silent, so he tremblingly asked the people below to let go.

"Recruit quickly and honestly."

This case now involves the imperial concubine's brother, and now it's the Baili family. Li Su, the Minister of Punishment, is sweating coldly.

"I learned from Li Shaojin that the royal concubine in the palace wanted some squares of rosin ink... ugh~ um..."

Baili Yongkang just opened his mouth, but before he had time to explain anything, his face suddenly turned white, his whole body twitched and he couldn't speak, he fell to the ground and huddled up in a ball.

Qingsui was the first to rush over. Before he could do anything, he saw that Baili Yongkang was foaming at the mouth, confused and his eyes were white.

"Poisoned!"

As soon as Qing Sui opened his mouth, Li Su woke up and quickly called the doctor, but it was too late. Baili Yongkang died from the poison in front of everyone. From the time he was poisoned to the time he died, he didn't even have time to react, which shows how powerful the poison was.

"Autopsy! Quickly check Baili Yongkang."

Jin Juetian didn't hesitate at all and gave the order directly. Looking at Li Su who was so frightened that he couldn't stand it, he couldn't hope for it at this moment.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"The key clues are interrupted at this moment, but the case must be investigated as soon as possible. Mr. Li, don't forget the emperor's edict. The case must be revealed before sunset tomorrow. Send someone to Baili's house to ask the Baili family for questioning. After Guo Tingzeng arrives,

Hall, I want to personally inquire about the case."

"Yes!" Yes, there is also an imperial edict. If the case cannot be concluded on time, he, the Minister of Punishment, will be able to drink a pot. At this time, Prince Tian is willing to help, and he is naturally eager to do so.

The prince is going to try the case in person, and the entire criminal department is even more careless. At this point, the case has been roughly solved, but Huizhou is far away. It will take some time to send the magistrate of Huizhou to come over to investigate the case, but whether the magistrate will try it or not

We can't run away, now we need to continue to sort out all the facts of the case and make this case have evidence to rely on.

Originally, Baili Yongkang had been tried thoroughly, and the case had almost come to light, and the circumstances of the case were clear. However, Baili Yongkang died at this time, and there was no evidence of his death. Li Shaojin was not a direct contact, but was only indirectly involved in the case. How could the evidence be conclusive before sunset tomorrow?

Closing the case is still a bit of a headache.

In the palace, Concubine Yao knelt outside the emperor's palace. It took about half an hour before Jin Zanli summoned her.

This move also made Concubine Yao fully understand that the emperor's favor is nothing but a flower in the moonlight in the mirror.

It doesn't matter, it's better to wake up earlier. In this way, she will know what is most important to seize in the future.

The Li family refused to take action, so she had no choice but to do it herself. Since she couldn't save it, she could only send Baili Yongkang on the road. Li Fengnian was right about one thing. It was useless to save Baili Yongkang and help him.

Unworthy waste.

She knew that once Baili Yongkang died, Prince Tian would dig deeper, but there was no proof of death. As long as he could not find out that she had killed Baili Yongkang, she could clean herself up and at the same time solve her worries. The Li family knew about her.

It doesn't matter if she has some involvement with Baili Yongkang. As I said before, without evidence, it can only be suspicion. And the Li family won't help her, but they won't be stupid enough to give her a knife. If something serious happens to her, the Li family will really

Can it run cleanly?

Li Shaojin took the initiative to surrender, and Concubine Yao took the initiative to plead guilty, explaining that she wanted rosin ink from her family. By the way, she took the initiative to reveal that she had asked Baili Yongkang to do some business for her outside because of her greed, so that Baili Yongkang came to her door and threatened to help him escape.

crime.

Now that she is dead, she can do whatever she says, and the Li family doesn't know the specific deal between her and Baili Yongkang.

This night, Yong'an City was particularly lively, and many people stayed up all night.

But Chuxue woke up until dawn.
Chapter completed!
