Chapter 695

And Gong Yu, who was too exhausted, was still in a deep sleep... 0

Completely unaware that she was under house arrest.

"Okay... I'm off to court!"

"Hmm."

Qin Banruo and Jun Niang, the two sisters, immediately acted like wives, seeing Jia Hui off to court.

Today, Jia Hui went to court as usual.

Everything seemed calm.

Arriving at court.

A few sounds of the whip.

The Emperor appeared, and after the officials shouted "Long live" as usual.

Prince Jing, as Jia Hui expected.

Immediately hurried out of the ranks.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, your son, Prince Jing, has something to report."

Emperor Yongshun, Li Shimin, looked at his son with surprise.

Usually, Prince Jing was relatively low-key and didn't talk much.

So he said casually, "Speak."

"Yes."

"Last night, someone attacked and killed Mei Changsu, and they used a crossbow!"

"Mei Changsu's entire household was killed, and the bodies have vanished."

Prince Jing then recounted the matter exactly as it happened.

Hearing this.

Emperor Yongshun was instantly shocked and furious!

The officials were in an uproar.

After all, whether it was a massacre or an assassination using a crossbow.

Both were major events!

"The rebels are bold."

Grand Marshal Sang Wei was immediately furious.

"Your Majesty, we must thoroughly investigate this matter."

Grand Tutor Song Yucheng followed by stepping out.

"That's right, we must use thunderous means to stop it, otherwise the disaster will be endless, officials and commoners will all feel insecure, and the court politics will be unstable."

Cabinet Elder Yan also spoke up.

Other important court officials, such as Chief Cabinet Secretary Xiao Qinyan, Minister of Works and head of the Baili family Baili Yan, Minister of Revenue Shen Zhui, Minister of Justice Cai Quan, Minister of Rites Chen Yuanzhi, and Minister of War Li Lin, all spoke up to demand a thorough investigation.

Jia Hui, in order not to appear different, smiled in his heart.

On the surface, he followed the crowd and stepped out to demand a thorough investigation.

The officials reached a high level of consensus.

Emperor Yongshun, Li Shimin, who was equally furious, immediately mistakenly thought that this was another trick by rebel groups like the Spring and Autumn Dao.

He immediately subconsciously thought of Jia Hui.

Wanting to have him come forward to solve the case.

But then he thought again.

The person assassinated this time was not a court official; although Mei Changsu was famous, he was just an ordinary person.

Letting Jia Hui, this Wushuang Earl and Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, handle this matter.

Was really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, it wasn't suitable.

He couldn't just hand every case to Jia Hui.

After all, he wasn't an official specifically for solving cases.

So he turned his gaze to others.

【480】 Do not seek fame like the Hegemon, ruin his good deeds, sow discord with Prince Jing.

"Gao Sheng, your Dali Temple must thoroughly investigate this matter."

Finally, Emperor Yongshun looked at Dali Temple Minister Gao Sheng and said.

Gao Sheng felt bitter in his heart.

He had no interest in dealing with this mess.

And he was also afraid of being retaliated against and assassinated.

But the Emperor demanded it.

And he didn't dare to refuse.

So he had to agree, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Emperor Yongshun stopped paying attention to this matter.

This was just a small interlude.

After all, the person assassinated was just Mei Changsu, who didn't even have an official position.

No matter how famous he was, it didn't matter.

What the court really cared about was the crossbow bolts and the group, which threatened their own safety.

Seeing this.

Prince Jing knew that this was all he could do.

He was currently just a peripheral prince.

There was not much he could do.

"Mei Changsu just entered the capital, and I ruined his chance to make a name for himself and his letter of intent to Prince Jing."

"Now I have also eliminated Nie Feng, as well as all his subordinates, experts, and confidants in the capital; they are almost completely lost, and the remaining Feiliu can only barely protect himself."

"Especially the loss of the Miaoyin Workshop, which caused him to lose not only his muscle but also his eyes and ears."

"His strength has already been greatly discounted, and he can only rely on himself and connections like Meng Zhi."

Glancing at Prince Jing, Jia Hui thought to himself.

For the time being, Mei Changsu was already unlikely to be a major threat.

However, Jia Hui still didn't intend to let Mei Changsu go.

To kill a snake, you must strike its seven inches.

And you must kill it directly!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to be bitten back.

Therefore, he smiled and waited for the court to end.

After the court ended.

Gao Sheng, as well as the Left Censor-in-Chief Sheng Hong and the Observation Commissioner Gao Hu—Jia Hui's two fathers-in-law.

A group of people surrounded Jia Hui as they left the court.

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

To this day, Jia Hui had not only established a firm foothold in the court.

But his power and foundation were becoming increasingly deep.

Only Prince Jing was walking away alone with a dark face.

He was still alone in the court.

The appearance of Mei Changsu.

Had not brought him any major changes so far. ===== CHAPTER 696 =====
