  Chapter 152 Suspected, Grounded

"Um?"

  After listening to Mo Jun's answer, Ying Zheng immediately glanced at him suspiciously, and asked again: "Did Mo Qing really not explain?"

  Mr. Mo had no choice but to salute again helplessly: "I really don't have an explanation."

   Asked twice in a row, and got the same answer. This time, Ying Zheng was confirmed, and Mo Jun probably didn't explain it.

  Actually, Ying Zheng was somewhat skeptical about Mr. Mo's answer, because the urgent letter from Hedong not only recorded the extermination of the Jin family, but also recorded some details of the case.

   It was also through these details that Ying Zheng suspected that Mo Jun was secretly doing it, because the way the Jin family was wiped out was too similar to what Mo Jun had done in the past.

  But on second thought.

  The extermination of the Jin family this time is quite similar to Mo Jun's handwriting in other aspects, but the only thing is that the extermination of the family this time is too petty.

  If that Mo Qing of his family had killed his family, among other things, he would definitely not be so sneaky in the first place.

  Secondly, it is true that Mo Qing sent people to Hedong, so this "Shi Nie theft case" in Hedong is definitely not the only family that was wiped out.

  From this aspect.

   It really doesn't look like Mo Jun moved his hand.

  But if Mo Jun didn't do it this time, then things would really be a little troublesome.

   That's right.

  Although this may sound a bit strange, it really makes sense.

  If this incident was really caused by Mo Jun, then with Mo Jun's character, he must have collected enough criminal evidence before or after the action.

  As long as there is enough evidence to surface the "capital crime" of the Kim family.

  Then, the case of the extermination of the Jin family is at most considered to be Mo Jun's killing first, and as long as Ying Zheng uses a cover at this time and says, "This is a secret order of the widow", then neither Jin Youjun nor the Jin family will be guilty of death.

   But this matter was not caused by Mo Jun, so this case is a bit difficult to discuss.

as expected.

next moment.

   While the officials were silent, I saw Lord Changping slowly stepping out of the crowd, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have a message."

"explain!"

"My state of Qin ruled the country by law. The princes broke the law and committed the same crimes as the common people. Now the Jin family's massacre is the first, and the great Qin's important minister Jin Tingwei is behind. Although there is no clear evidence, all kinds of suspicions point to the ruling millet of the current dynasty. Mr. Mo, Neishi Mojun. According to the laws of the Great Qin..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Changping paused, turned to look at Mr. Mo, and then continued to Yingzheng: "According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, this case should be thoroughly investigated by the Tingwei Division, and the truth of this case has not been found out. Before that, I asked the king to arrest Su Nei Shi Mojun and imprison him in the prison of Tingweisi, pending investigation."

  When Lord Changping finished speaking, the entire court was silent.

  Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Arrest Zhi Su Nei Shi? Does Xiong Qing know what he's talking about?"

Lord Changping said calmly: "Of course I know clearly, but what I said is in line with the laws of the Great Qin. Before Jin Tingwei died, he personally identified Lord Zhisu Nei Shimo. This was witnessed by the king and all the court officials. The witnesses are already in place."

"Although there is not enough physical evidence yet, with such a serious suspicion, Lord Mo should cooperate with Tingwei Division in the investigation, and... if it is later investigated that this case is really related to Lord Mo, then Lord Mo should have The court's act of killing Jin Tingwei by mistake may be suspected of 'killing the mouth'!"

  After hearing Changping Lord Xiong Qi's words, Mo Jun also turned his gaze to him.

  The other party’s words just now seemed reasonable, but in fact there was a huge trap in them. Originally, whether Jin Youjun’s death was an accident, Mo Jun’s manslaughter, or suicide was not definitive.

  However, within a few words, Changping Lord Xiong Qi directly designated Jin Youjun's death as "manslaughter" by Mo Jun.

   If you don't pay attention.

   Maybe before the case is investigated, Mo Jun has already been charged with a crime.

  Fortunately, Ying Zheng is obviously not so easy to be fooled. He interrupted directly with a wave of his hand: "Whether Jin Tingwei's death was an accident or someone else's mistake, there is no final decision on this matter. Xiong Qing should not speak lightly."

  After hearing Yingzheng's warning, Lord Changping resolutely admitted his mistake and said, "This minister made a slip of the tongue. But Jin Tingwei's death is inextricably linked to Master Mo, and I ask the king to enforce the law impartially."

   As he spoke, Mr. Changping bowed deeply to Ying Zheng again.

  Why does Mr. Changping keep mentioning Kim Youjun?

the reason is simple.

  Because Jin Youjun is the key to this ring plan.

  In this game against Mr. Mo, not only Luo Wang participated, Mr. Changping was also one of the collaborators.

   After all, Jin Youjun was originally a member of the "Chu foreign relatives' lineage". Without the participation of Lord Changping, how could Jin Youjun's life be used to make this happen?

  With Mo Jun's current status, it is not easy to shake him, let alone pull him off.

  Normally, even if it is 'the entire family of the Jin family is wiped out', even if Mr. Mo is suspected, in his capacity, he is at most assisting in the investigation, and it is impossible to imprison him.

  But if it is at the cost of the life of a Jiuqing, then the situation is different.

  Even if it was just to show an attitude, Ying Zheng had to set an example.

  The reason why Lord Changping frequently mentioned Jin Youjun's name was to remind Ying Zheng that one of the nine highest-ranking people in the Qin State died, and he died in front of all civil and military officials.

  If this matter cannot be given an explanation, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will cause shocks.

  Ying Zheng's face was a little gloomy.

  Obviously he also saw Mr. Changping's calculations, but he couldn't find a good solution, because what the other party said was indeed in accordance with the law.

   This is also the reason why he just felt troubled.

  If Mr. Changping really wanted to convict Mr. Mo directly, it would be easier for Yingzheng to find a way to break the situation. But the other party didn't think of convicting Mo Jun at all, but demanded to arrest Mo Jun purely on suspicion of committing a crime.

  And this so-called investigation, in a sense, is basically equivalent to a different kind of house arrest.

   This is somewhat similar to the method used to implicate Lu Buwei under house arrest in Yingzheng's Lai Ai case.

   But the difference is.

  Based on the current situation, even if Mo Jun is imprisoned in the 'name of investigation', it won't last long.

  Because of Mo Jun's current situation, after all, there is still a certain difference from Lu Buwei.

   But the problem is that once Mo Jun is under house arrest.

   Then there are too many places that others can operate in the future.

   Don't say anything else.

   Without Mr. Mo sitting in charge, there is countless room for manipulation in the follow-up search for the "evidence of the crime of extermination of the Jin family" by Mr. Changping's lineage.

   "Li Si, you just returned from Hedong, do you know what happened there?"

  Suddenly, Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly set his sights on Li Si.

   When Ying Zheng mentioned Li Si, Mr. Changping glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. This time, Li Si was the only surprise in their plan.

  Although Luo Wang had sent a letter before, saying that Li Si would not be their hindrance, Mr. Changping still inevitably paid more attention.

   Facing Ying Zheng's question.

  Li Si was silent for a moment, then bowed and said: "When I left from Hedong, I didn't notice anything unusual."

  Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said majesticly: "Really?"

   Li Si said respectfully: "Yes!"

  Ying Zheng took a deep look at him, didn't say anything more, and fell silent again.

  Seeing that Yingzheng could not make a decision for a long time, Lord Changping under the court quietly gave Lord Changwen Xiong Dian who was not far behind him a look.

  After receiving his brother's signal, Lord Changwen Xiong Dian also reacted immediately.

   Immediately, more people walked out, bowed deeply to Ying Zheng, and said sincerely: "I also ask the king to enforce the law impartially, so as to show the strictness of the laws of Great Qin."

  See Chang Wenjun set an example.

   Not long.

  I saw that among the officials below, many people looked at each other for a few times, and then several people came out.

   With the same movement and the same tone, he saluted Ying Zheng loudly and said, "I also ask the king to enforce the law impartially and arrest Mr. Shengping so as to demonstrate the strictness of the laws of Great Qin."

   And the actions of these few people instantly seemed to overturn a side of 'dominos'.

   In the blink of an eye.

  Seeing the entire court, at least 70% of the officials stood up one after another, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please enforce the law impartially."

  The 70% of the officials are not all affiliated with the forces of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage".

   Similarly, they are not part of Luo Wang and Mr. Changping's plan.

  The reason why they took the initiative to stand on the same front with Changping Jun and put pressure on Ying Zheng was completely the backlash caused by Mo Jun's previous actions.

  Before the 'grain tax case'.

   and the "New Commercial Tax Law" implemented in Hanzhong.

   These two incidents caused Mo Jun to violate the interests of many high-ranking officials and nobles in the entire Qin Kingdom, but they had succumbed to Mo Jun’s authority before, so none of these people dared to speak out.

  But now that someone is taking the lead, they all start to stand up and add insult to injury.

  See this scene.

   Ying Zheng's eyes became colder and colder.

  As long as some of these people today stand up for the strictness of the laws of Qin, Ying Zheng can look up to them.

  However, the reality is that the reason why these officials who shouted "strict laws" wanted to arrest Mr. Mo was all for their own selfishness.

   "The imperial edict ordering Su Nei Shi Mojun to confine himself in the Xianyang Mofu. Before the investigation of the case of the "Jin family's extermination of the family" is investigated, no one is allowed to contact him privately without the widow's edict."

  Finally, Ying Zheng issued an edict.

  Hearing Ying Zheng's edict, Mr. Changping raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something else.

  However, when he saw Ying Zheng's cold eyes, he finally chose to keep his mouth shut.

   Anyway.

  Mr. Mo’s current status is there. Even if there are regulations in Qin Law, if the dignified Mr. Shengping is really put in prison, it would be a bit outrageous.
