Chapter 198
Yuan Qing knew that he would be fine.
The only thing she couldn't understand now was how Ji Kang could think of committing suicide under the tight security of the Ministry of Justice, and at such an appropriate time.
If this was not planned before he came to Beijing, then during the time he was in prison, someone used some means to send him a signal that he was ready to commit suicide.
Yuan Qing suddenly understood his father's previous concerns.
Although they guessed that there was such a chess player among the enemies who thought he could see the whole situation and could turn the tables without anyone noticing even in an unfavorable situation, it was indeed a terrifying thing to have such a person hiding behind.
He is like a snake lurking in the dark. Although he does not move on the surface, as long as you dare to relax, he will rush out and bite you, and it will be fatal.
snake?
She felt that this description was very suitable for the man she had met in Yuzhou. Although they had not met closely, she had to admit that he did fit the characteristics of a snake.
Hide in the shadows, waiting for the fatal blow.
Could it be him?
Before the previous case was even solved, some people couldn't wait to take action against Yuan Qing.
Chen Xingwei learned his lesson this time and did not get involved in the turmoil. He kept his neck down and only dared to say a few words behind others' backs. However, he never dared to tell Lu Zhao those words because he was afraid of being punished.
He had been an official in the Dali Temple for quite some time and had witnessed Lu Zhao's methods. He felt scared whenever he thought about them and dared not approach him anymore.
Lu Zhao gave the poison case in the palace to Jiang Qisheng to investigate, while he took over the salt permit case and Ji Kang's death case.
He came down from the court, without taking off his official robe, and went directly to the Ministry of Justice with the token to question Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing sat in the same seat as Ji Kang.
However, within just a few days, her status was completely reversed and she became the one being interrogated.
Lu Zhao didn't say much to her and just followed the process. Yuan Qing didn't hide anything and told Lu Zhao the whole thing.
After listening to this, Lu Zhao was a little confused, "Why did he ask to be alone with you?"
"He said he had a secret to tell me," Yuan Qing propped up his head, looking somewhat speechless, "At the time, I was on guard against him. I thought that even if I asked all the jailers in the cell to leave, I couldn't really give him a chance to take advantage of me, so I asked them to stay outside the cell. The distance was just enough that I couldn't hear the conversation inside. Who knew that he would turn around and stab me like this? It really caught me off guard."
Lu Zhao was reading the confessions of the jailers.
They all said the same thing, there was nothing suspicious about it, and it was the same thing she said.
Besides, there was no need for her to lie to him.
He continued to flip through the pages, but the following few words made him think deeply.
Although the cell was surrounded by walls, there was a window high up. It was almost noon and the light was abundant. Strong sunlight shone into the cell through the window, illuminating the entire cell and even visible every corner.
This is what the jailers confessed unanimously at this time.
They also said that Gong Bin was facing away from them at the time, so the expression on his face could not be seen, but Ji Kang's expression was clearly visible.
At first, he was secretly furious with veins bulging on his forehead, and gradually it turned into madness. Even when Lord Gong left the cell, the madness on Ji Kang's face had not dissipated, which made them terrified.
