In other words, Chu Chengye had no choice but to admit that he had apprehended the wrong person, causing an injustice.
Chu Chengye’s handsome face was steeped in hostility as he forcefully pushed Liang Jin aside. “I said I didn’t make a mistake, then it isn’t! This matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice and is not something the imperial uncle can meddle in! Please leave the Ministry of Justice immediately, or else…”
“What else?” Chu Yihan stood up. He was also a high-ranking noble, who effectively suppressed Chu Chengye with his fierce and domineering aura.
Standing at the head of the table, he coldly gazed at Chu Chengye. “Father has decreed that I cannot interfere with the Ministry of Justice. However, that doesn’t mean I cannot rectify an injustice. As a prince, your careless handling of the case warrants punishment!”
“I won’t admit it!” Chu Chengye’s face flushed crimson. “I won’t accept it! Your words mean nothing! Even in front of the father, I won’t acknowledge it!”
“Fine, then let’s proceed to the Hall of Diligent Government!”
Chu Yihan ordered everyone to be taken to the Hall of Diligent Government.
Seeing this, Liang Jin stepped forward to caution Chu Chengye. “Seventh Prince, this case falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and our three divisions can decide it. If it reaches the Hall of Diligent Government and the emperor, you might have to bear substantial responsibility.”
Liang Jin’s implications were clear.
If Chu Chengye admitted his mistake here, it would only affect his official performance and salary. At most, he might face suspension for a month. But if the case escalated to the palace and faced all the officials, the criticism from civil officials would be harsher than it is now.
Moreover, Chu Chengye’s reputation among the people would be at stake.
However, Chu Chengye would never admit his mistake here or even in front of all the officials!
He wouldn’t accept that he lost to a woman, to Su Yingxue, or his imperial uncle!
He couldn’t force Su Yingxue, and Chu Yihan was pressing down on him!
“Men, to the palace.” Chu Yihan ordered, his tone cold.
The Minister of Justice and the official from the Supreme Court immediately knelt before him. “Your Highness, this case need not be reported to the emperor. 1 subject… This case was misjudged, and the people from Tongchang Medical Center are innocent. They should be released immediately!”
“Released immediately?” Chu Yihan’s narrowed eyes held a dangerous glint. “Then who will bear the suffering and punishment they endured in prison?”
“This… This…” Chu Yihan’s pressure left them breathless, his inquiry almost stopping their hearts.
The Minister of Justice thought to himself that he was the one who allowed Chu Chengye to operate in his territory. Now, he would bear the responsibility for the mistake.
He couldn’t afford to offend Chu Yihan!
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “I’m willing… to endure punishment similar to this person!”
“No!” Su Yingxue’s resounding voice cut through. “The laws of our Great Cheng Dynasty are strict, there’s no concept of one person suffering for another. Minister, it’s the Seventh Prince’s fault. Why should you take on the punishment?”
“Seventh Prince… This! This can’t be!”
The Minister of Justice trembled, his face turning pale. “Your Highness holds a noble status. How can he endure punishment?! This can’t be! I… I made the mistake, so 1 should be the one punished!”
If he refused to take responsibility for the Ministry of Justice’s affairs and led to Chu Chengye suffer consequences for his actions, his life would be miserable!
He didn’t dare to do such a thing!
