Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Because Ling Chuan insisted on interrogating Xu Lang, Fang Pingshan simply waved his hand and approved a note for Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan took the note and proudly led his men to the Ministry of Justice prison.

With his identity as the Criminal Investigation Department and the note personally approved by the Minister of Justice, Ling Chuan easily brought Xu Lang out.

He did not go far and started the interrogation in the interrogation room of the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice Prison was also a large yard. In addition to detaining prisoners, there were also many rooms used for interrogating prisoners. Ling Chuan was not polite at all and directly picked a clean room to start the interrogation.

Xu Lang had recovered a bit these days, and was even trying to be smart when he was interrogated by the Ministry of Justice. But today, when he saw that the person interrogating him was Ling Chuan, his scalp couldn't help but tighten.

In Xu Lang's eyes, Ling Chuan was almost comparable to the devil, and he had been tormented by him a lot during those days.

"I won't waste my time talking to you. I'll just tell you what you said last time. How did your Xu family transport the military equipment to the Kingdom of Yue? How did you get in touch with the other party? Who was involved in the process? If you tell me clearly, I'll save you trouble and you won't have to suffer. Did you hear me?"

Xu Lang had been tortured to death by Ling Chuan in Ruyin, and now that he was behind bars, he had no hope of survival and confessed everything he knew.

In fact, he didn't know much. After all, he was only responsible for delivering the goods at the time. He knew who the contact was and how to get through customs. But his father didn't tell him who was behind it.

The reason why Xu Lang confessed so readily was not only because he did not want to suffer, but also because this was just an interrogation, not a court hearing.

However, Ling Chuan did not shy away from the questioning in the interrogation room, and even said several times that he could not hear and asked Xu Lang to speak louder.

This interrogation room is not a secret place. It is located in the yard of the Ministry of Justice's prison. Originally, there were not many people there, but recently due to the trial of the Xu family's case, many officials from the Ministry of Justice have been coming and going.

When they passed by the interrogation room, they all pricked up their ears when they heard the words coming out of it.

Although the men brought by Lingchuan were guarding the door, they did not stop others from approaching, and more and more people gathered at the door.

Fang Pingshan was processing the files when suddenly a clerk ran over in a panic: "Sir, Sir Fang is in trouble."

Fang Pingshan raised an eyebrow: "What's the fuss about?"

The clerk didn't dare to speak loudly, so he leaned in and whispered, "When the people from the Criminal Investigation Department interrogated Xu Lang, they mentioned smuggling military equipment and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Most importantly, Xu Lang also blamed Prince Rongzhuang."

"what?"

Fang Pingshan could no longer sit still and stood up. He really didn't expect that Ling Chuan, this young man, was so bold that he didn't even know how to cover up such a big case.

He immediately raised his leg and walked out, but stopped when he reached the door.

The clerk followed closely behind and almost bumped into him: "Sir, don't you want to go to the prison to take a look?"

Fang Pingshan shook his head and walked back slowly: "He has already done everything he should and shouldn't have done, so what can he do if he goes?"

He shook his hands and said, "Let him be."

In the interrogation room, Ling Chuan asked all the questions that needed to be asked, checked with Duan Xifeng who was in charge of transcribing, and then asked Xu Lang to sign.

However, at this point he refused to confess. He could confess, but he couldn't admit it.

Ling Chuan didn't waste any time talking to him and forced Xu Lang to put his fingerprints on it.

After finishing the job, he handed the man back to the Ministry of Justice's jail, then walked away in a swagger with the confession and a group of people from the Criminal Investigation Department.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Duan Xifeng asked excitedly: "What should we do next? Which family should we start with?"

Ling Chuan glanced at him and asked, "Which one should we start with?"

Duan Xifeng was stunned: "Xu Lang has given up so many people, why don't we arrest them?"

"What's the hurry?" Ling Chuan said, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

"what?"

Duan Xifeng obviously didn't understand this, but Ling Chuan didn't explain it. Instead, he said to the group of people behind him, "Thank you for your hard work today. I'll treat you all at Niu Er Tavern."

The guards cheered and the sound of flattery was endless.

Ling Chuan was enjoying the flattery from everyone with a smile on his face, and whispered to Zhang Tong beside him: "Send this confession to Yunfuji and give it to Manager Cao."

Zhang Tong nodded, took the confession and left.

Just as Ling Chuan was leading his men to eat and drink in Niu Er's Tavern, the news that he had just interrogated Xu Lang in the Ministry of Justice's prison spread quickly as if it had wings.

In Prince Ning's mansion, Prince Ning was furious and threw a teacup full of soup and water in front of Wu Kun.

"Didn't the king instruct us to investigate secretly? How come it has become known to the whole city all of a sudden?"

Wu Kun half-knelt on the ground, letting the broken porcelain pieces splatter all over his body. Even a piece of fragment scratched his cheek, he did not dodge.

"Your Highness, I have repeatedly told you to investigate this matter secretly, but Ling Chuan made such a big fuss, which was really unexpected. So I think he might have done it on purpose."

Prince Ning snorted, "I don't care whether he did it on purpose or not. He is from the Criminal Investigation Department. Now that he has done this, the dirty water has been thrown on my head."

Blood was already dripping from the wound on Wu Kun's face caused by the debris, and he did not wipe it off: "Your Majesty, could this be what His Majesty meant?"

Prince Ning was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke: "It shouldn't be the case. According to my niece's temper, this kind of case must be investigated to the end. Whether it is an open investigation or a secret investigation is not something she considers."

Wu Kun knelt down and took a step forward: "Your Highness is wise. Since it is not His Majesty's intention, then Ling Chuan deliberately diverted the trouble to protect himself."

"Brilliant ass." King Ning kicked him over and said, "Now the dirty water is thrown on my head, why don't you come up with a plan with me?"

Wu Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, the incident has already happened. Why don't we just take advantage of the situation and investigate it in a big way?"

"No." King Ning flatly rejected the proposal: "Then I will become a shield. What I want is for the court to be in chaos. Otherwise, how can I reap the benefits?"

Wu Kun frowned and said, "Then I can only distance myself from him. I will find an excuse to kick Ling Chuan out of the Investigation Bureau."

Prince Ning was troubled again, and after a while he sighed and said, "This is the only way to go now. It's a pity that such a great contribution has been wasted."

As he said this, he looked at Wu Kun who was kneeling beside him, and only then he realized that half of Wu Kun's face was covered in blood: "But don't worry, as long as I succeed in my mission, your contribution will be indispensable. Go and bandage it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
