Chapter 849 Old kid
Liang Chongyue didn't expect its tiny head to be able to remember anything. Seeing that the system was so happy that it forgot everything, Liang Chongyue just let it go.
"Your Majesty, Lord Fei has returned."
As soon as Yun Ling finished speaking, Fei He walked in from outside. Liang Chongyue keenly smelled the faint smell of blood on him.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Liang Chongyue did not respond, but handed him the evidence at hand.
Fei He already knew what happened at the court this morning. After roughly reviewing the evidence, he had a general idea of what was going on.
"I have already investigated this matter. Combined with this evidence, Princess Duanning and her husband should be sentenced to death according to Daxia law."
Fei He handed over the evidence he had found, but Liang Chongyue didn't even look at it.
"Send these things to Minglang and let her decide what to do with them. If she shows any mercy, you can teach her another lesson."
When it comes to Minglang's education, Liang Chongyue has always been a strict mother, forcing such an ignorant and innocent child to become cold-hearted and heartless.
"Yes, I understand."
Fei He was already used to His Majesty's behavior and left with the evidence.
The light from the Yangxin Palace shone through the window and fell on Liang Chongyue, but it could not warm her heart which had long been as hard as a stone.
Fei He took all the evidence to the Cining Palace. It happened that they had just finished their meal and were about to accompany the Empress Dowager for a walk in the backyard.
"Your subordinate greets Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When everyone saw Fei He's sudden visit, they all turned their eyes to Ming Lang.
"It's Feihe, what's wrong?"
Fei He handed some evidence to Ming Lang:
"There are some government affairs that need to be handled by Your Highness. Please accompany me."
Minglang had already been following His Majesty in handling government affairs before the enthronement, and no one was surprised at all when they saw this scene.
Minglang took the things handed to him by Master Fei and glanced at them briefly. After he understood what was going on, he turned around and said goodbye to Grandma Huang.
"I have something else to do, so I can't accompany Grandma Huang to visit the garden."
"Go and get busy. Political matters are more important."
Minglang is concerned about the future of Daxia: "It's enough to have Jiaoyun and the others here with me."
Minglang nodded when he heard this, looked at the others, and then followed Feihe out of the Cining Palace.
"Master Fei, is this man still in the dungeon?"
Minglang left the Cining Palace and sat in the sedan chair to look through the evidence. Some of them were even simpler and clearer than the evidence presented at the morning court today. It seemed that they were found by Master Fei.
"Yes, His Majesty means that this matter shall be handed over to His Highness. I will take His Highness there now."
The two war horses rode out of the Meridian Gate and passed by the entrance of the Ministry of Justice. Minglang heard crying and shouting coming from there from afar.
"Does the Ministry of Justice ignore the people's complaints?"
Fei He knew who was shouting at the door of the Criminal Department just by listening.
"Princess Duanning believed her son was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. His Majesty refused to see her, so she blocked the entrance to the Ministry of Justice with the evidence she had collected and protested."
Upon hearing this, Minglang slowed down his horse and listened carefully when passing the entrance of the criminal department. It was indeed true.
"Today's incident requires a thorough investigation by Aunt Ning and Uncle Ning. Master Fei, please send someone to bring them here soon."
Minglang looked through these pieces of evidence. As a parent, when the child was in trouble, only Aunt Duanning showed up. After so many days, the heartless uncle has not shown up yet.
"Okay, I'll take care of this."
His Highness was escorted to the dungeon. This was the territory of Qingyu Pavilion. Once someone entered here, even the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple had no right to interfere.
"Your Highness will be brought in shortly. I will go and arrest him first."
After Fei He left, Ming Lang came to Qingyu Pavilion for the first time. He raised his hand to refuse the person who came to lead the way and started walking around the Qingyu Pavilion.
"Can you take me to see where you train?"
"The training ground is not here. If Your Highness wants to see it, I'm afraid only Fei Zhangling can take Your Highness there."
Minglang wanted to see where Jiang Jiaoyun and the others trained in Qingyu Pavilion, but when he realized he couldn't see it, he gave up the idea.
"Take me to the dungeon."
The dungeon of Qingyu Pavilion was not as hidden as Minglang had imagined. Although it was called a dungeon, the entrance was actually right under the tall building at the back of the entire Qingyu Pavilion.
The entrance was also very obvious, as if they were not afraid at all that anyone would dare to break into the prison.
This is the confidence of Qingyu Pavilion.
"Your Highness, I can only take you here. I have no authority to go any further."
Minglang took the lantern from the man and walked downstairs. After passing a dimly lit staircase, he went down to the dungeon, which was brightly lit. Everywhere was filled with seriousness, and there was a guard on duty every few steps.
Minglang stood on the stairs and looked around the dungeon carefully. There were deadly traps everywhere on the walls. It seemed that a lot of effort had been put into its construction.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness, Your Highness, please come this way."
Minglang followed the guide towards the prison cell and saw many people being held there along the way.
"This person looks so young, why is he also imprisoned here?"
Minglang looked at a child squatting in the corner of the cell and spoke in confusion.
As soon as she finished speaking, the child raised his face and looked at her.
Minglang was speechless for a moment at that face that looked both old and young. Although the body looked like that of a child, the face looked as old as an eighty-year-old woman.
"Hey hey hey."
The old child grinned at Minglang with torn corners of his mouth, exposing his dark gums, which made Minglang feel uneasy.
Although she had been with her mother for many years and had read the strange books in her mother's Palace of Tranquil Longevity, this was the first time she had seen such a terrifying person.
"This person suffers from a disease that prevents her from growing up. Your Highness, don't underestimate her young age. The imperial physician has felt her bones and she's at least eighty years old. She uses this young body to lure ignorant young girls and young women around, trafficking them. Over the years, she's deceived at least tens of thousands of women."
When the secret guard who led the way talked about this, his eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at the woman imprisoned in the cell. He should not have shown such emotions in front of His Highness, but this kind of beast deserved to die a hundred times. She should be cut into pieces and thrown into the oil pan and fried repeatedly until both sides were golden brown.
"Then why not just kill her? Why keep her alive?"
The old woman in the cell looked unhappy when she heard this. She didn't expect that this girl with outstanding appearance, who could deceive eight people at a time in the past, would kill people without blinking an eye now?
There was a noise in the cell. Minglang turned his head and saw the old woman rushing towards her. She had only taken two steps when she was dragged back by the chain that tied her.
The petite body fell to the ground with a thud and was instantly motionless.
Looks like he's dead.
"Your Highness, don't worry about her. She just likes to play dead to trick people into coming in."
