Chapter 136 Interrogation
No one went to seek justice for the Ye family, including Xu Qiuyue.

Ye Ling's original appearance is completely different from the Ye Ling who committed suicide.

But during the entire period, no one stood up and said that this was not Ye Ling.

The Ye family was promoted suddenly.

The Ye family's promotion was a bit too coincidental.

It was obvious that Emperor Sheng no longer wanted to investigate. Perhaps he had already guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

The Ye family is a discarded pawn.

No one cares.

Lu Yuan had an idea in just a few hours.

He planned to conduct a thorough investigation into the Ye family's advancement path and who helped the Ye family advance to the capital.

Too many things happened tonight, and even though it was very late, many people stayed awake all night.

The prince is dead.

Who dares to take a rest?

Xu Qiuyue hasn't stayed up so late like this for a long time.

Xu Qiuyue stood behind Lu Yuan, watching Lu Yuan, the commander of the imperial guards, and the chief eunuch interrogate the nobles who came to the palace to attend the Qiuyue Banquet.

This has been going on for several hours, but there is still no result.

Xu Qiuyue was so sick of watching it.

Xu Qiuyue felt that the assassin Ye Ling and the man in black had committed suicide.

How could there be accomplices here?

This calculation is nothing but a useless effort.

However, Xu Qiuyue was still somewhat glad that the emperor handed the case over to Lu Yuan, which was equivalent to eliminating Lu Yuan and her suspicion.

The eunuch director no longer needed to check her muscles and bones to determine whether she was capable of martial arts.

The maids of these noble families were not allowed to enter the palace and could only wait outside the palace.

But among these young masters and young ladies, nine out of ten men are good at martial arts.

Fifty percent of women are also good at martial arts.

It seems that these powerful families do not believe that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.

The daughters of these powerful families are basically all good at both martial arts and literature, unless they have physical reasons.

Otherwise, no matter how much you dislike martial arts, you will still have some basic skills.

If they are just concubines' daughters, only 10% of them are good at martial arts.

These powerful nobles obviously don't care so much about the training of concubine's daughters.

A concubine's daughter mainly learns music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

What they need to learn is how to be a good concubine and how to serve their husbands and mistresses.

Their fate is determined from birth.

When the legitimate daughter gets married, they will also marry along with her and become her husband's concubines.

Because these young ladies are all unmarried and their reputation cannot be tarnished.

So it was handed over to the palace maids to check in detail whether these people's faces had been disguised.

The woman in white who called herself Ye Ling was in disguise. She didn't look like Ye Ling originally, and she looked even less like Ye Ling after the disguise.

Xu Qiuyue also worked seriously for several hours.

Unfortunately, not a single disguised person was caught.

Xu Qiuyue looked at the huge crowd queuing up.

She felt a wave of despair.

There are so many people here, how long will it take to investigate?

The key is what if the real accomplice is really found out.

At that time, will she pretend that her martial arts skills are average, or will she show her true strength? Xu Qiuyue admired Lu Yuan a little.

Under normal circumstances.

Lu Yuan is not as hard-working as her.

When riding in a carriage, you basically lie down. You get tired after an hour and start complaining that you feel uncomfortable here and there.

But today.

Lu Yuan has been working for such a long time, but he is still full of energy.

And the mind is clear.

This is probably what the emperor designated him to do.

He probably understands the meaning of responsibility now.

In such a short period of time, he figured out Ye Hanlin's promotion path. In a short period of time, he also got out the people who had helped Ye Hanlin from the other people, and then quickly adjusted the order of interrogation, no longer interrogating people according to their status.

"Master Li, think about it carefully. Did you really not notice that there was anything suspicious about the other people around you?" Lu Yuan frowned and said, "I heard that you have a close relationship with Ye Hanlin who attempted the assassination. Ye Hanlin is not qualified to attend the Autumn Moon Banquet. He was promoted so quickly. You really didn't help her."

"Sir Lu, my loyalty to His Majesty is evident to all. I am not familiar with the entire Ye family. We are just serving in the same court together. He took the initiative to greet me and I just responded. The promotions in our Hanlin Academy have always been the responsibility of Grand Tutor Wen." The man called Sir Li waved his hands hurriedly, and when he mentioned Grand Tutor Wen at the end, his voice was much lower, for fear of being heard by others.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

If he doesn't make it clear.

Once he was associated with the Ye family, no matter whether he could keep his official position or not, his future path to promotion would definitely be blocked. The most important thing was that if he was framed, the whole family would be implicated, and he would be like Doctor Liu, exiled and his family members sold into slavery.

What's more, he was telling the truth.

Compared to offending Grand Tutor Wen and offending His Majesty, we should choose the lesser of two evils.

What's more, this is not a secret. Everyone knows it, and I believe other people will also tell Lu Yuan about it.

He was not the only one who leaked the information.

Thinking of this, he became justified again.

Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the other two nobles, who immediately shook their heads and said that they were not familiar with the Ye family.

Lu Yuan knew clearly that this case would probably come to no avail. After all, there were too many people involved and the implications were very wide, so it was not easy to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Lu Yuan was extremely anxious about this, but he had no way to solve the problem, and was like an ant on hot pan.

But there might be something wrong with Master Wen.

Now is the time to ask questions to Master Wen.

After all, Lord Li was not the only one who said that the promotions in the Hanlin Academy were all managed by Grand Tutor Wen.

Although it seems that Ye Hanlin's path to promotion is normal.

There is nothing wrong with Master Wen doing this.

But Grand Tutor Wen was indeed the one who promoted Ye Hanlin.

The eunuch chief was a shrewd man. He knew that Master Wen was a suspect, but he couldn't afford to offend him, so he made an excuse to go to Wugu Lunhui.

The commander of the Imperial Guard stopped arguing with Lu Yuan at this time, saying that Lu Yuan was the man appointed by the emperor, and he wanted to help Lu Yuan and let Lu Yuan preside over the trial.

Those people before didn't seem suspicious at first glance.

But Master Wen.

The commander of the Royal Guards thought this coincidence was too good to be true.

But there was nothing suspicious about Master Wen.

He was not the main investigator of the case, so there was no need for him to offend Master Wen.

If he was in charge, it would be different.

Since he was not responsible, this offending matter naturally fell to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan stood in front of Master Wen and said to him, "Master Wen, I have found irrefutable evidence. I heard that Ye Hanlin had no chance of being promoted. It was you who protected him."

Master Wen sighed, "I thought he was a bright pearl covered in dust, but I never thought he was a bad guy. I just admired his talent."

Wen Qing, the daughter of Grand Master Wen, stood behind Grand Master Wen with her fists clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms but she didn't feel any pain at all.

Wen Qing gnashed her teeth and said, "It must be the Xuannv Sect. Apart from the Xuannv Sect, who else would dare to be so bold?"
