Chapter 181 Shocking Reversal
The prince asked everyone to stand up.
Looking at Ning Yi who was still standing there and didn't salute him, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Who wouldn’t bow when seeing him now?
But the guy in front of me is quite disrespectful.
But the prince had no choice. He couldn't go and complain to Emperor Wu for such a small matter.
I believe Emperor Wu will not pay any attention to him.
The prince walked over and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Sixth Brother, why are you here?"
Ning Yi rolled his eyes: "Second brother, why are you here too?"
Why are we here? Everyone knows who is here.
Everyone knows that since you are here, you have your own plans. Why do you need to pretend to ask questions?
"This palace," the Crown Prince said suddenly, "I heard that someone was causing trouble in the Ministry of Justice, so I came to see for myself who in the Great Wu Kingdom is so bold as to take our laws into consideration."
The prince is now speaking with great enthusiasm.
Minister Xu standing beside him was feeling proud. If it were just him, he would have felt very intimidated by the Sixth Prince.
After all, the Sixth Prince’s past military record was very fierce, and he had killed many officials.
What if the Sixth Prince gets really upset and kills him? By then he will be dead. Even if he goes to complain, is there an emperor in the underworld?
It’s different now that the prince is here. With the prince here, let’s see if you still dare to be arrogant.
He whispered to the Minister, "Sir, the Sixth Prince is unlucky this time. After all, he was just caught by the Crown Prince."
The Minister of Justice, however, shook his head and smiled, saying, "Don't be so anxious. The best is yet to come. Let's just watch the show."
Minister Xu was a little surprised. What did the Shangshu mean by this? What did he mean there was more to come? Could it be that someone would come again?
Ning Yi was too lazy to listen to the second brother's false nonsense.
He said calmly, "This prince heard that an official was falsely accused and was even about to be executed, so naturally I came here to take a look."
"After all, this prince will never allow the unjust prosecution of officials in the Great Wu Kingdom. Why, second brother, do you want to see this happen?"
"How is this possible?" The Second Prince said with a smile, his hands resting on his back, "I will certainly not allow such a thing to happen."
"But everything depends on evidence. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, shouldn't we conduct a thorough investigation?"
Changing the subject, the Second Prince suddenly asked doubtfully, "Sixth Brother, you said you rushed here so eagerly, is it because you are the mastermind behind them?"
"Second brother, there are some things you can't say carelessly." Ning Yi sneered: "If you say such nonsense, you are wrong as the regent."
When this matter was mentioned, anger flashed in the second prince's eyes.
The Regent, the Regent, everyone calls him the Regent.
But in reality, we have no say in the really important matters.
I can only do some trivial things.
That’s not all, what’s even more hateful is that when the imperial court is short of money and food, they will ask him for it.
Good thing, it immediately ran into the hands of Emperor Wu. What kind of thing is this? It's so deceptive.
It’s because of the old man in front of me.
The Second Prince secretly resented this, but sighed on the surface, "Sixth Brother, today in this hall of the Ministry of Justice, you came here to cause trouble specifically for these three criminals with solid evidence. You disregarded the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Justice and forcibly took them away. This is a serious crime."
"I'm advising you to stop being so arrogant and admit your mistakes so that I can protect you in front of the emperor. Right? Then getting scolded by the emperor won't be a big deal."
The Second Prince looked like he was trying to persuade Ning Yi and help him.
In fact, he was deliberately trying to trick him, sneering and mocking in his heart.
The arrogant Lao Liu was nothing special. He just dug a hole and pushed this guy into it.
Ever since Lao Liu entered the Ministry of Justice's prison and caused trouble, he was destined to never leave the Ministry.
The Second Prince came here specifically to close the net, otherwise, there would be someone in the entire Ministry of Justice who really couldn't do anything to the Sixth Prince.
Ning Yi rolled his eyes and sneered, "Second brother, you said you went through so much trouble, but what on earth are you trying to achieve?"
"Anyone can see this kind of shit, it's something even a three-year-old wouldn't bother to do, and yet you, a regent, are still doing it. You're incredible."
The two brothers mocked and despised each other in the court.
The other officials just hid aside and watched the fun, and no one dared to join in.
After all, one is the Crown Prince Regent and the other is the Sixth Prince, they are real brothers.
Even if the two brothers had a fight, no one else could do anything about it, and in the end they would be sent before the Martial Emperor.
The Second Prince's expression suddenly turned cold. "Sixth Brother, I gave you a way out for our sake, but you are so ungrateful. In that case, don't blame me for not thinking of our brotherhood. Today, I will teach you a lesson for your arrogance and contempt for others."
"As the Crown Prince Regent, I order the Ministry of Justice to arrest and detain Old Six, the man who has been causing trouble in the Ministry, committing crimes, and forming a clique for personal gain."
But everyone in the Ministry of Justice was stunned. No one listened to him and everyone looked at the Shangshu.
Minister Xu looked at the Shangshu in surprise. What was going on? Everyone in the Ministry of Justice was so quiet.
Could it be that the Minister does not listen to the Crown Prince?
The Second Prince was somewhat surprised and frowned as he looked at the Minister of Justice: "Minister Zhang, is it possible that my words are of no use?"
"Your Highness," Minister Zhang said with a smile, bowing. "As the Crown Prince Regent, your words are indeed effective for the Ministry of Justice. However, the Ministry of Justice has its own laws and cannot arbitrarily arrest people without evidence. It is a fact that the Sixth Prince has committed no crime. Moreover, he is a member of the royal family. How dare the Ministry of Justice arrest him so arbitrarily?"
This made the Second Prince look at him in disbelief: "You want evidence, right?"
"Aren't the box of contraband and the three of them witnesses and evidence?"
Minister Zhang still did not allow anyone to move, and continued with a smile: "Your Highness, you are wrong."
"It's clear that you instructed me to hide someone in the private room frequented by these three colleagues, and then the shopkeeper deliberately lured them into the room, and then you had the Minister personally arrest them."
"This has nothing to do with the Sixth Prince. I cannot order an arrest."
When these words were spoken, the whole hall was shocked.
Countless people looked at the Shangshu, this smiling tiger, in disbelief, and told the whole story in earnest.
Minister Xu was also shocked as he looked at the Shangshu beside him. Was this still his immediate superior? How could he turn around and sell out His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Likewise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes widened, nearly spitting out blood. He pointed at Minister Zhang and said, "You, you, how dare you betray me like this? I want you..."
"That's enough." Ning Yi stood in front of the prince and said calmly, "Second brother, it's already this late, stop acting."
"You have committed the grave crime of framing your own brother. If the Emperor knew about this, hehe..."
This laugh made the Second Prince shudder suddenly. He believed that if this matter was brought to the attention of Emperor Wu, his life as the Crown Prince would be over.
