Chapter 634: Severe Torture to Extract a Confession (4)_1
Pei Qin didn’t want to hold on for another day! He was doomed to a short life from the beginning, having to endure this day after day, how much longer could he last even if he got out!?
Noticing her arm actively wrapping around him, encircling him, Mo Heng’s lips curled into a slight smile, "The wound hurts so much, lick it for me!"
"Shut up!" Pei Qin muttered irritably. Such a tease, still not behaving even now!
"Alright." Mo Heng chuckled in agreement, leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to rest.
Outside, Mo Dun inquired about the situation and wrote a memorial to see the Emperor in the palace.
He happened to run into Shen Bi entering the palace, and both went to the Imperial Study Room to see the Emperor regarding the same matter.
Shen Songming had already uncovered some clues; the poison in the soy sauce couldn’t have been added from outside the palace. All the soy sauce mouth seals, wax papers, and the second sealing would have discrepancies. Mo Dun, who could poison his own son causing partial blindness and expel him from the family with only a sliver of life left, how could he be impartial now? Given the Ministry of Justice’s bias, this case should be investigated jointly by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. Transfer Pei Qin and Mo Heng to the Prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Mo Dun disagreed, "The Supreme Court began this investigation from the start, and this officer has already gathered certain evidence. Why does Elder Shen intervene and attempt to exonerate the criminals?"
Shen Bi glanced at him, "Then pray tell, Sir Mo, do you also believe your son, Mo Heng, plotted to poison the Emperor?"
