Chapter 1252: Investigate to the End (2)
The Court of Judicial Review minister did not go to the West Mountain camp to attend the military parade today, but he knew that Qi Haoran had gone to there today. Therefore, he was very surprised to see Qi Haoran appear in the Court of Judicial Review.
The Court of Judicial Review had always only investigated major cases. The Court of Judicial Review minister thought to himself that if King Rong unreasonably asked him to investigate some trivial matters, he would chase him out.
Ignoring the Court of Judicial Review’s vigilance, Qi Haoran pointed at the dozen or so people who were tied up and said, "These are all assassins who tried to assassinate the Crown Prince and Prince Rong. Lord Bai, His Majesty has ordered the two of us to investigate this matter thoroughly."
The Court of Judicial Review gaped and asked, "Isn’t this matter handled by King Rong?" Lord Bai said vaguely, "After all, this matter involves foreign countries. As such, it’s not convenient for the Court of Judicial Review to interfere."
Everyone knew that the Crown Prince and Qi Wenjin had kidnapped the Emperor of Great Yuan together and forced him to increase their troops so that they could take the opportunity to take back their territory that had been occupied by West Xia. Therefore, both Great Yuan and West Xia hated them to death. Before the two of them arrived in Shandong, they had already caused a ruckus in the court before encountering the assassin.
However, although everyone looked indignant, they felt that it was only right. If their Emperor was captured, they would definitely try their best to kill the culprit to avenge the insult.
Without waiting for Lord Bai to finish thinking about all this nonsense, Qi Haoran threw down a bomb and said, "These people are all from Great Qi. His Majesty ordered that we must find all their accomplices."
Lord Bai’s expression changed. His first instinct was that the competition for the throne had begun again, and that the princes in the palace were not behaving themselves. Unexpectedly, King Rong said with a cold glint in his eyes, "I want to see if Qin Fang left more people behind than the ones that I captured!"
