After rebirth, I pampered the crazy villains
Chapter 226 Betrayed Again
The emperor did not see Mu Jingrui coming back suddenly, and he also verified that the culprit of the 100,000 army was the father and son of the Zheng family.
He immediately ordered the three departments to try the case and summoned the Zheng family and his son to the court.
Both sides held their own opinions, which put the officials who were tried by the Ministry of Justice and the Third Division in a dilemma. Both sides had their own forces and could not favor either side at all.
Seeing that the interrogation had reached a deadlock, Longjiu asked both sides to submit favorable evidence in an attempt to find a new way out.
"I have a personal certificate, which can prove that it was indeed the marquis of Yi Yong who changed the formation map."
It had been more than half a day since the interrogation, but Shangguan Wanning still did not see him coming. Mu Jingrui had an ominous premonition in his heart.
But he always believed that she would not let him down.
"Who is it?" Longjiu's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently.
"My fiancée, Shangguan Wanning."
Just one thing, the scene is silent.
Everyone knows that Princess Anning is the granddaughter of Yi Yonghou, and Zheng Guoxun loves this granddaughter very much and regards it as the pearl in his hand.
Is this possible to ask her to come out and testify against Zheng Guoxun?
"Mu Jingrui, my Ning'er is a lady from a family. How can you show up in the court? You are clearly just quibbling and want to make things difficult for us." Zheng Bingrong pointed at Mu Jingrui and cursed.
Mu Jingrui doesn't like this at all.
"I made a marriage contract with Ning'er before going to war, and it was the Marquis who made the decision. She is my wife who has not passed away. I don't care. What do you care about?"
Zheng Bingrong was not a good-looking lamp, so he snorted heavily. "You are a man, you can change your wife and marry three wives and four concubines at any time. What if you refuse to ask Ning'er again afterwards, wouldn't it be a waste of her life?"
Mu Jingrui didn't want to get entangled with Zheng Bingrong, so he looked at Longjiu and said, "Mr. Long, nothing is more important than the justice of those 100,000 soldiers. As long as Ning'er is willing to come to court to testify immediately."
Dragon Eagle lowered her eyes and thought, exchanging eyes with the other judges.
Shangguan Wanning is the prime minister's daughter. She is just Shangguan Yue, so the people present cannot afford to offend them.
In addition, Shangguan Wanning is deeply loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and a slight mistake will be a disaster.
"Mr. Long, for fairness and justice, please summon Ning'er to the court." Zheng Guoxun remained silent and calm from beginning to end, and then said, "If there is anything else, I will be responsible."
Zheng Guoxun's words made Longjiu and others feel relieved, but Mu Jingrui felt vaguely uneasy.
Longjiu sent the chief chief of the Ministry of Justice to the Prime Minister's Office to summon Shangguan Wanning. After about half a stick of incense, he returned empty-handed.
"King Long, my subordinates met Princess Anning in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She said... she was not aware of the border war, so... she didn't want to come to the Ministry of Justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on the faces of the Zheng family's father and son.
Mu Jingrui's face changed drastically. He walked quickly to the chief of the chief and asked, "Did these words... have she said in person?"
"It was said by Princess Anning himself." The chief chief answered firmly.
Mu Jingrui couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his clenched fists clattered.
"Shangguan Wanning, I misbelieve you again."
"How is it, Lord Mu, what else do you have to say?" Zheng Bingrong sneered, "The witnesses you mentioned are unwilling to testify for you. If you can't produce any other evidence, then we should sue you for slandering the Marquis of the Yi Yong Mansion."
Mu Jingrui looked at Zheng Bingrong with his eyes moving.
Zheng Bingrong felt countless cold lights reflected on his body, and he couldn't help but shivered.
Since Mu Jingrui did not have conclusive evidence to prove that the destruction of the 100,000 army was due to the Zheng family’s father and son who modified the formation map without authorization, the Zheng family’s father and son were released in court.
As the commander of the 100,000 army, Mu Jingrui failed to command, resulting in heavy casualties in the court. He is to blame. He will be imprisoned for the time being and wait for the emperor to deal with it.
"elder brother……"
Mu Jingyan knocked on the railing of the cell, grabbed the wooden railing with both hands, and squeezed it desperately with his little face.
"How are you?"
Mu Jingrui lowered his head, stared at the ground without saying a word.
His depression and silence made Mu Jingyan feel heartbroken, and those complaining and blamed words were swallowed back.
"Brother, it's getting cooler these days. I'll bring you a quilt. The jailer will prepare it for you later. Also, I've prepared some fruits and pastries that you can eat when you're hungry at night."
Mu Jingrui still didn't speak.
"Your Highness and the Crown Prince have already taken care of you, so they will not make things difficult for you. Your Highness asked me to tell you, don't worry too much, he will find a way to save you."
Seeing that his brother didn't even give him a single expression, Mu Jingyan couldn't help but feel a little upset.
"Hey, Mu Jingrui, I'm sorry to you, Shangguan Wanning, why did you show me your face? I have advised you not to believe this woman anymore, you keep asking..."
Before Mu Jingyan could say anything, Mu Jingrui looked at her.
The cold chill in his eyes made Mu Jingyan shut up involuntarily.
"You go back."
"elder brother……"
Mu Jingrui turned around and ignored him. Mu Jingyan had to stand up embarrassedly. "Okay. But we agreed in advance that you can't do stupid things. You are the only one in our family, and we still hope you can grow up..."
Seeing that his brother's shoulders trembled slightly, Mu Jingyan understood that he was not feeling well at this time, so he had to sigh and leave.
As dusk falls, everything is silent.
Mu Jingrui sat under the exhaust port of the prison cell, letting the bright moonlight spread on his body.
He heard a slight footstep approaching and stopped at the door of his cell.
With a "bang", the chains in the cell were cut off, and several masked men in black broke in.
"Mr. Mu, my subordinates and others came to save you after being ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince. Come with us."
Mu Jingrui slowly opened his eyes and looked at it lightly.
"I appreciate your kindness, you can go by yourself."
Mu Jingrui refused to leave, which made several men in black look at each other.
"Mr. Mu, Your Highness came back from the palace and learned the news, and the Emperor will soon order you to be killed. If you don't leave, you will not be able to leave when the imperial edict comes tomorrow dawn."
"Get out!" Mu Jingrui didn't want to say much, and scolded coldly.
Seeing this, the man in black rushed over and wanted to help Mu Jingrui up.
Mu Jingrui turned over in the air, took advantage of the opportunity to sweep, and knocked several men in black to the ground.
"Mr. Mu, let's have a good intention, why are you...ah!"
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Mu Jingrui stepped on the chest of a man in black.
The man in black felt a severe pain, and curled up into a ball.
