Chapter 1760 - 1746:

Because only in this way, letting more people know about this matter, will they not dare to falsify it!

Otherwise, stirring up public outrage is a huge problem that cannot be underestimated!

Feng Luo had this thought in mind, determined to ensure the matter itself was fair, so she boldly stepped forward to block Prince He Shuo’s path, demanding an investigation here and now!

Prince He Shuo glared at Feng Luo with a gloomy face, "Feng Luo, don’t push your luck!"

Feng Luo was not afraid at all, she let out a cold snort, her lips curling with disdain, "Your Highness, today I indeed want to push my luck! Today, I want everyone to know what kind of integrity the officials employed by the court have!"

"You!" Prince He Shuo’s face became even gloomier, and the anger around him began to spread.

The people around felt the prince’s anger and did not dare to breathe heavily.

Feng Luo’s hands remained open, facing Prince He Shuo’s angry stare, she was not afraid at all and even boldly met his gaze!

"Don’t think that just because the Emperor protects you, I won’t dare to do anything to you!"

Prince He Shuo said through gritted teeth, "If you dare to block me again, I will imprison you on charges of disrupting the military recruitment order!"

Hearing this, Feng Luo laughed.

Her laughter puzzled Prince He Shuo, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I don’t dare?"

Feng Luo shook her head lightly, "I believe you, Your Highness, could do that. After all, you people with power and position, when you have no reason, like to use power to oppress others! I know why you want to investigate this matter in the yamen because you are worried that if this matter is true, it would damage the court’s reputation!"

Prince He Shuo’s expression slightly eased, "Since you know, why are you still blocking me?"

"But today, I must conduct the trial here. Go to the yamen? The yamen is your place, and once there, even if it’s black, you’ll say it’s white! But it’s different here, facing so many common people! Facing so many young people who want to serve the court, I want them to see what kind of court it is now!"

She paused, then said, "Actually, I think this place is a good place to clear the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs’ name because we can handle matters justly! If the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs’ issue is true, you should punish him according to the law and set an example for those who want to serve the court, letting them know that serving the court, they are not wrong."

Prince He Shuo remained silent; he thought what Feng Luo said made some sense.

The Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was still kneeling on the ground; earlier, he was already at his wit’s end, only feeling that his official hat was about to be lost, but just now, when he heard the prince said they were going to the government, he suddenly saw some hope and barely steadied himself.

After all, he was a third-rank official of the current dynasty, and he had to stabilize and not mess up his formation! He did those things very secretly, and Feng Luo certainly didn’t know; maybe she was just repeating what someone else said!

"Your Highness, I think what Feng Luo said makes sense."

At this moment, both Luo Qi and Luo Jiu found it difficult to step forward, although they didn’t know what Feng Luo wanted to do, but at critical moments, they still wanted to stand on Feng Luo’s side.

However, if they stepped forward to speak for Feng Luo, it would easily cause trouble for her, so Luo Qi timely cast a plea for help at Chu Ge, signaling him to help speak with the prince.

Chu Ge nodded slightly, agreeing, remembering that in the past few days, Feng Luo often left early and returned late, and every time she came back, she was very angry, which never happened before. Could this be related to this matter?

These were all just his guesses; he suppressed his doubts and stepped forward to the prince, saying, "Actually, I think Miss Feng Luo’s request is reasonable."

Feng Luo gratefully turned to glance at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge ignored her and continued, "Your Highness, look at the audience below, everyone is waiting. If this matter is moved to the yamen, and it is not open and transparent, it will always be fodder for rumors. By then, no matter what the result is, it will not be good for the court unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the court judges this matter to be true and finds the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs guilty."

Chu Ge said softly, "But this seems unfair to the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs; what if he didn’t do it? If he is wronged, wouldn’t he become another Dou’e?"

Prince He Shuo’s expression had returned to normal; he pondered for a moment, sweeping his gaze over several ministers nearby and seeing them all avoiding his gaze.

"Just as Mr. Chu said."

Prince He Shuo’s words were decisive; the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was initially a little pleased, but upon hearing this, he immediately slumped like a pile of dead ashes on the ground.

He looked dazed, but his brain was quickly thinking about what evidence Feng Luo had, was it the young man who had gone to the government office to complain a few days ago? No, that young man should still be in prison, but if not him, then who could it be?

Feng Luo saw that Prince He Shuo agreed and slightly relaxed.

"Feng Luo, you just mentioned you have a witness. What witness? Bring them up." Prince He Shuo sat back down.

"I’ll go bring her over right now."

With that said, Feng Luo ran down from the city tower, pulling a woman with a headscarf from the crowd.

"When you see the prince later, just speak out your grievances, don’t be afraid, speak boldly!"

Feng Luo was holding the woman’s hand, which was trembling, indicating she was very scared.

"Will the prince really believe what I say?" the woman asked worriedly, "Everyone says officials protect each other. My son went to the yamen to seek justice, and now he is still in jail."

If she got imprisoned too, there would be no way to help vindicate her daughter.

"Regardless of whether he believes it or not, we have solid evidence! Even if he doesn’t want to believe it, in front of so many common people, he cannot deny it! He also can’t help them cover up their crimes!"

Speaking, Feng Luo brought the woman in front of the prince, saying, "Your Highness, this is the mother of one of the victims."

The woman knelt on the ground, "This commoner greets Your Highness."

Prince He Shuo gave a nod, "You said the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs killed your daughter? What happened?"

"In response, Your Highness, the Minister of Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs had my daughter abducted to his mansion, and the next day my daughter died in his house."

"So, you don’t know the cause of your daughter’s death?"

Prince He Shuo questioned.

Hearing this, the woman stopped speaking, feeling even more aggrieved. She indeed didn’t know how her daughter died, but she heard from the forensic doctor in the government that her daughter’s body was covered with scars, and she was tortured to death by asphyxiation!
