Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 723: Death of Wen Ruyue

the next day.

Ministry of Punishment.

Something big happened in the Ministry of Justice today.

When this matter first started, people from the Ministry of Justice were investigating a case.

While investigating the case, they discovered a man who was acting sneaky and didn't look like a good guy.

The person in the Ministry of Justice who was investigating the case was none other than the Third Prince.

He is a man who is serious and responsible in everything he does.

So he immediately stepped forward and wanted to call the person over to ask.

But before anyone could ask him, the man ran away. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?

As a result, this person was naturally arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice for questioning.

What is the Ministry of Justice?

Even a strong man would not be able to bear it after receiving such a beating.

Not to mention this person, he thinks the crime he committed is not a big deal.

At most, it's just a matter of taking money and spreading some rumors.

So the man spoke frankly and told everyone what he had done.

Of course, this is not something that can be done by one person.

He also gave away his accomplices.

These people are quite courageous.

They were the people who were paid by the Queen Mother to spread rumors about the Queen.

They may have thought that it was okay to spread rumors about the royal family at that time.

This time it's just a rumor about Prince Fu, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Although this Prince Fu is still the Minister of Dali Temple...

But the higher the official rank, the less he cares about these trivial matters, right?

Besides, the young lady from the Wen family gave enough silver notes.

They took the risk, but they didn't expect that they would hit a wall this time.

It can be said that these people are active behind the scenes.

But in front of the board, they all became cowards.

Before the board fell on them.

Those people wanted to tell out all the rumors, big and small, that they had spread over the years without leaving out a single one.

The people in the Ministry of Justice didn't really care about the things they had spread before.

What they were concerned about was the recent rumor about Prince Fu and Miss Wen.

This involves the reputation of the royal family.

Besides, the Prince of Fu also has the title of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

Just ask Miss Wen, what on earth was she thinking? How dare she spread rumors about such a person?

Is she out of her mind?

She never thought about how Prince Fu would be able to gain a foothold in the capital if she really spread this story.

These ideas are also held by the Minister of Justice and other higher-ranking officials.

The third prince brought a team of men and went directly to the Wen Mansion to arrest someone.

Wenfu.

After the Third Prince and his entourage arrived at the Wen Mansion, they did not act too presumptuously.

After all, the Wen family is located in the capital, and they were considered a prominent family in the past.

"I wonder why the Third Prince brought people to the palace?"

Wen Ruyue's father went on duty, so the people in the mansion had to report to Old Man Wen.

When Mr. Wen heard that someone from the Ministry of Justice was coming, he instinctively felt something was wrong.

So he hurried out to find out what was going on.

"I'm here to summon Miss Wen from the mansion. She is suspected of privately bribing people and spreading false rumors..."

The Third Prince looked at Old Master Wen’s face, which had turned pale in an instant, with a half-smile on his face.

"This is spreading rumors about the royal family. I don't need to explain much. I believe the old man also knows the interests involved."

Mr. Wen’s body shook.

Fortunately, the old servant who followed him saw the sign and quickly stepped forward to support him, so he did not fall to the ground.

"Third Prince, you are not mistaken, right? I also asked Yue'er about this matter, and she said it was not her..."

Mr. Wen knew very well that if Wen Ruyue, as the legitimate daughter of their family, was really arrested by the Ministry of Justice...

Then the Wen family would be really finished.

"Old man, you should know that the Ministry of Justice will not arrest people for no reason. If we don't have solid evidence..."

The Third Prince's meaning was obvious.

"Old man, please find someone to lead the way for us. After all, we don't want to make things too awkward like what's happening in your mansion."

Look at Mr. Wen, he seems indifferent because he is too surprised.

The third prince had to remind him again.

"I still don't believe it. Yue'er... wouldn't do such a thing. Are you mistaken?"

Mr. Wen was talking but he didn't move.

He also didn't say to send someone to take these people to Ruyue Courtyard.

The Third Prince knew very well that Old Man Wen was stalling for time.

Coincidentally, this was also part of their plan.

Just when the stalemate was happening in the front yard, Old Madam Wen was also rushing towards Ruyue Courtyard.

Behind her, there were four burly and strong women.

Looking at the way Madam Wen walks briskly, no one would have thought that she is an old lady in her sixties.

Kisaragiin.

Before anyone from Ruyue Court came to open the door, the door was kicked open by a woman.

Wen Ruyue was sitting in the room reading a book, Qiu'er was standing behind her.

Both of them looked like they were living a peaceful and tranquil life.

Unfortunately, the noise in the yard startled the master and servant.

"Qiu'er, go out and see what's going on?"

Wen Ruyue stood up suddenly in shock.

A bad premonition suddenly emerged in her heart.

But she still pretended to be calm and gave instructions to Qiu'er.

Qiu'er's heart started beating wildly. She agreed and was about to go out.

Unfortunately, the door of this room was also kicked open from the outside.

"grandmother…"

When Wen Ruyue saw Old Madam Wen and a few maids coming in, she screamed in panic.

Old Madam Wen ignored her and gave instructions to the maids who followed her.

"Hurry up...quickly."

The division of labor among the old women was even clearer.

Two old women came up and one of them grabbed one of Wen Ruyue's arms.

Another old woman took a handkerchief and covered her mouth as she was about to scream.

The remaining old woman took out a piece of white silk from her bosom and put it around Wen Ruyue's neck neatly.

Wen Ruyue struggled desperately.

Her tears kept flowing down, and she looked at Old Madam Wen with pleading eyes.

Old Madam Wen had a sullen face and didn't even look at Wen Ruyue.

At this time, Qiu'er had already rolled her eyes and fainted out of fright.

Until Wen Ruyue stopped struggling.

The old woman who was responsible for covering her mouth stretched out her finger, felt her breath, and then nodded to Madam Wen.

"Hang her up for me. Make sure she looks more like her. Don't let anyone see any flaws."

Old Madam Wen looked at Wen Ruyue with disgust, and then ordered the old woman who was covering Wen Ruyue's mouth.

"Mrs. Qin, throw this girl into the well for me."

Mrs. Qin walked up to Qiu'er.

She picked up the unconscious Qiu'er and walked out.

At this time, the three old women were also nimble and quick in hanging Wen Ruyue's body on the beam.

Their skillful techniques were as if they had done it countless times before.

In fact it is.

These people are all from Madam Wen’s courtyard.

They have helped Madam Wen many times to do these unscrupulous things.
