C20 Edict
Furthermore, the mission to suppress the Celestial System had also been issued. Shen Muqing had no choice but to accept this mission. More importantly, another person, Yan Nantian, was involved as well.
Yan Nantian wasn't that easy to deal with. If his Brocaded Robe Guard wasn't effective, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably cause public opinion at the first moment and spread rumors that Liu Tie's ability was insufficient, damaging the imperial family's reputation and face.
At that time, even Xuanyuan would punish Ninth Prince for his crimes, so this plan was quite vicious.
At this time, a Brocaded Robe Guard suddenly came from outside the door, and said to Shen Muqing: "Prince, someone from the palace has come. They say that they have an imperial edict, so please receive it."
Shen Muqing frowned, "Alright, I'll go welcome him myself."
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw a middle-aged eunuch with a pale face and no beard.
He said in a treacherous voice, "Ninth Prince, accept the decree."
Qi Jiguang and the rest of the Brocaded Robe Guard were all kneeling on the ground.
Shen Muqing stood on the spot and said to the eunuch in front of him, "Thank you, Eunuch."
The eunuch then invited him to issue an imperial edict. After he opened the imperial edict, he said seriously, "His Majesty the successor has ordered that the Jiang family's annihilation is of great importance. We must find the real culprit as soon as possible."
Good heavens! His Majesty the Human Emperor had actually ordered it. This time, he had to solve the case no matter what!
After all, this case was already on the surface. Qi Jiguang was secretly shocked in his heart, what he was most worried about still happened. Although Brocaded Robe Guard had just been established, due to the first three agreements, Shen Muqing's Brocaded Robe Guard had become very powerful.
Even if it was set by His Majesty the Human Emperor, the freshmen of the civil and military officials would not complain. If this matter was not handled well, Ninth Prince's position in the emperor's heart would be affected, losing the Sacred Heart would be terrible.
This wasn't what Qi Jiguang and the others wanted to see. They heard Shen Muqing say indifferently: "Alright, I'll remember. Please go back and help me report. Just say that the Brocaded Robe Guard has accepted the case and I will solve it within three days."
The old eunuch was slightly surprised, but then he nodded: "Ok, Ninth Prince, this old servant will go back to report now."
After the old eunuch left, Shen Muqing returned to his seat and said majestically: "Ok, let's start the trial and bring Jiang Feng's mother up here."
Soon, Jiang Feng's mother came over, but she was still crying.
The old woman was crying on the ground, "Ninth Prince, you have to solve this case for our family. My son died too miserably, please try to uphold justice and bring the culprit to justice. It's that Yan Nantian, he is the murderer."
Jiang Feng's mother was the daughter of a rich family, and even though she was currently grieving over her death, she still maintained her dignified demeanor. Shen Muqing frowned slightly and asked, "What did you say? Are you sure it was Yan Nantian who killed Jiang Feng? "
Jiang Feng's mother nodded: "That's right, Ninth Prince must uphold justice for our family."
The faces of Qi Jiguang and the others changed slightly.
Shen Muqing asked again: "What evidence do you have?"
The old woman said, "My son, Jiang Feng, is a handsome man and likes to make friends. Half a year ago, he brought back a woman.
However, this girl is pregnant and must be my son's wife. My family doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, so seeing that the lady's character is quite decent, I agreed to arrange it.
