Chapter 348 Major Case Analysis
In front of the grain shop, there were constant arguments and people pushing each other back and forth.
"Don't push, don't push."
"You stepped on my foot."
"What are you doing? Come one by one..."
The common people were talking to each other, and the grain shop owner also looked helpless.
"If you don't buy it now, maybe tomorrow it won't be this price anymore."
"..."
Lin Guo and Mu Heng listened to the discussion at the grain shop and came to the same conclusion: a food crisis.
Lin Guo guessed: "Could it be that all the food has been sent to the border?"
Mu Heng said: "That shouldn't be the case. We still need to keep the food."
Lin Guo shook his head. "Don't you think this is a bit strange?"
Mu Heng agreed with this, "I always feel like something is wrong."
There is nothing more to say, let’s buy food first.
Lin Guo took out all his money, and Mu Heng also took out all his money, thinking of giving it their all.
Looking at the crowded people at the door of the grain store, Lin Guo stepped forward and asked the people who were buying grain beside him because he couldn't squeeze in.
"Uncle, why is food so scarce all of a sudden?"
The people replied:
"Isn't there going to be another war on the border? Food is precious. If we don't stockpile it now, we city dwellers without land will be left with nothing before the busy farming season next year."
Lin Guo thought to himself, and since he couldn't squeeze in, he suggested, "Mu Heng, why don't we go look somewhere else."
"Let's go." Mu Heng thought so too.
Therefore, the two of them gave up the grain shop.
Walking further, crossing a street and passing an alley, they found a grain shop again, but saw the same scene.
The two men held the purses in their hands with wide eyes.
Mu Heng: "Even if you have money, you can't buy food?"
Lin Guo said: "Let's get in line."
...Jiang Yue's side, in the court.
Because of the case closed by the Ministry of Justice yesterday, most of the court officials were secretly shocked. They did not expect that the most unexpected Fourth Prince was actually the mastermind behind Beiyan.
Most people felt the same way as Jiang Yue did yesterday: shocked and doubtful.
Because His Majesty looked unwell, no one dared to breathe.
Zhao Chongxiu sat high on the dragon throne, gently stroking his wrinkled brows.
"Wen Liang, where are the two Beiyan people we captured yesterday?"
"Your Majesty, I have been imprisoned by you."
Zhao Chongxiu: "What about the previous spies?"
"Spy..." Wen Liang knelt down and said:
"The spy betrayed the Fourth Prince yesterday."
After hearing this, Jiang Yue was shocked again. Being in the court, every step was frightening.
Zhao Chongxiu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he looked at Jiang Yue and said:
"General Zhongwu, I heard that you arrived in time yesterday and captured two Beiyan people. Fortunately, you noticed the abnormality in Biyue Tower."
Jiang Yue shook his head after hearing this, stepped out of the line and clasped his fists:
"Your Majesty, it was not me who noticed it first, but the Fourth Prince who first noticed something was wrong with the Biyue Tower, so he took me there to capture the enemy."
Her words made His Majesty and even the other court officials somewhat confused.
Most people were thinking, according to what she said, wouldn’t the Fourth Prince be crying “the thief is thief”?
At this time, Grand Tutor Mu stepped out.
He first glanced at Jiang Yue, then clasped his fists towards His Majesty and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a doubt!"
"Say!"
"Yesterday, General Jiang and the Fourth Prince appeared at the Biyue Tower at the same time. I think General Jiang is also a suspect. She just came back from the border, and as soon as she came back, the matter of the Fourth Prince surfaced. Moreover, she also brought back the spy from Beiyan. The truth needs to be verified."
As Mu Yun said this, the court officials looked at Jiang Yue again and became more suspicious.
When Jiang Yue heard this, she wondered if Mu Yun was going to deal with her. She was wondering if she and Grand Tutor Mu had any grudges.
She already felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her from behind.
She looked at Mu Yun:
"Master Mu, don't forget, I was the one who captured those two Northern Yan people yesterday!"
Then, she looked towards the dragon throne again, and saw that His Majesty was also looking at her, with no shock in his eyes, only calmness.
Jiang Yue thought that His Majesty should believe her.
At this time, General Zeng stepped out and said:
"Your Majesty, I think that the Fourth Prince had planned this all along. He knew that he would be the one to be found out sooner or later, so he wanted General Jiang to take the blame."
After he said this, most people nodded their heads.
Chen Yuan, who had originally opposed Jiang Yue, first said to His Majesty:
"Your Majesty, it must be so. General Jiang has made great achievements in battle and has killed many enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops. If he is suspected for this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers at the border!"
Chen Yuan's words were full of confidence, and he did not forget to add,
"This incident with the Northern Yan spy must not be her."
After hearing this, Jiang Yue finally began to like Chen Yuan.
As expected, military generals need to conquer people with force.
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, some court officials, including Wen Liang and Cui Wanqian, began to nod secretly.
This scene made Zhao Chongxiu feel relieved.
Jiang Yue listened to the court officials' agreement and carefully observed their expressions.
Needless to say, as a military general, Chen Yuan had a simple mind and must have felt that since he hated Bei Yan to the core and had made many military achievements, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
Grand Tutor Mu and Grand Commandant Zeng controlled their expressions very well. Jiang Yue knew that these two people were the most difficult to understand, and she didn't know what was right and what was wrong for a moment.
Minister Wen looked thoughtful, as if wondering who of them made more sense.
Minister of Revenue Cui Wanqian and other court officials just listened quietly and agreed when it was time to do so. After all, they could not offend the powerful people.
Although this case is not under their jurisdiction, it concerns the stability of the country and the family, so they are also very concerned about it.
After observing, Jiang Yue looked towards the main seat and said to His Majesty:
"Your Majesty, the spy was still stubborn and refused to reveal the mastermind at first. But the two Beiyan people directly revealed the Fourth Prince before they were even tortured. They were a little too hasty."
Zhao Chongxiu also fell into deep thought because of Jiang Yue's words.
He thought that Jiang Yue had just entered the court, and she had not been seen to be too close to the Fourth Imperial Brother. But now, from what he heard in her words, she was just trying to excuse the Fourth Imperial Brother.
"According to you, the Beiyan spy is someone else?"
Jiang Yue: "I am just guessing."
Wen Liang shook his head: "Young General, the evidence is overwhelming!"
Jiang Yue: "What is physical evidence?"
"The physical evidence is that the Fourth Prince's personal jade pendant appeared in the Biyue Tower for no reason. The Biyue Tower is the contact point for the Northern Yan spies. According to the tea girl's pointing out, the Fourth Prince frequently interacted with the Northern Yan envoys."
When Jiang Yue heard this, she was still thinking about what happened yesterday, and then continued to say to Zhao Chongxiu:
"Your Majesty, this case is full of doubts. I think we need to ask the Fourth Prince in person whether the jade pendant has been given to someone else."
After she finished speaking, she could not see the expressions of the court officials, and she suddenly felt that the air around her had turned cold.
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu nodded and said, "General Jiang is absolutely right."
