Chapter 121 What Should I Do if I Am More Powerful than the Ministry of Justice?
"I didn't expect that the old teacher had the same hobby as the sixth-rank officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple."
"The positions of the tattoos are so tacit."
Xiao Yunzhou looked at the two pale old men in the cell and the two young officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple who were already trembling with fear.
"Are you going to the prison of the Dali Temple, or go to the Jinyiwei prison to confess?"
Xiao Yunzhou turned around and sat down on the chair brought by the guards.
The four people froze for a moment, and their eyes crossed.
Everyone could see clearly that the "anti" characters on their backs were similar in size and all in the same position below the butterfly bone on the right back.
This damn coincidence, coupled with a damn "anti", could not appear on officials and civilians at the same time.
If it appeared, it would be hard not to think too much!
"I, I confess!" Zhao Yunlei, the right secretary of the Dali Temple, was the first to fail.
"Asshole, don't make such a fuss! I don't know you!" The old man in the prison wanted to deny it.
But the right secretary of the Dali Temple, Zhao Yunlei, was too young to resist. When he saw the emperor, who was calm as water and the Jinyiwei, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Majesty, I confess, I am from the Diyue Sect!"
"!"
"?"
"!!"
The officials in the Dali Temple prison were all shocked.
What, what sect?
This was not a proper Taoism.
The face of Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Dali Temple, turned pale.
"But I was forced to do it. I am an orphan, raised by them. When I didn't listen to them since I was a child, they didn't give me food, and beat and scolded me. Many people were beaten to death or starved to death."
"Because I can read and pass the imperial examination, they valued me, threatened me with my wife and children, and asked me to carve words on my back, and threatened me with the words on my back, forcing me to continue working for the Earth Moon Sect and pass on messages! Otherwise, they can use the words on my back to report me to the court at any time!"
Zhao Yunlei betrayed the Earth Moon Sect in an instant and told everything.
The words carved on the back are not only a show of loyalty, but also a threat.
The officials of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were all stunned.
Evil.Cult, this is an evil.Cult!
Xiao Yunzhou snorted coldly, "You know a few strongholds, tell the truth. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will jointly investigate!"
The lights of the Dali Temple were always on all night.
The interrogation lasted all night.
Finally, when the cocks crowed, the sweaty Dali Temple and the Minister of Justice ran to the emperor with a thick stack of confessions!
"Your Majesty, those two old men... turned out to be the elders of the Earth Moon Sect!"
"One of them is the deputy leader."
"They, they want to rebel against Jing and restore the emperor."
"They are the remnants of the former emperor's family."
The Dali Temple Minister, the top leader, Zhang Wei, flushed red.
The Minister of Justice kept wiping his sweat and looked at Xiao Yunzhou cautiously.
Xiao Yunzhou didn't even turn over the confession, he hummed calmly, with a calm face of "I knew it a long time ago".
The Minister of Justice Yin Moqiao was shocked, he was shocked by the emperor's calm look.
The emperor really knew it a long time ago?
Terrible.
The emperor sits in the palace every day, but the information he knows is much more than the six ministries!
This is not the first time.
Yin Moqiao was panicked before, but now he actually feels a little...at ease?
This kind of evil cult member, the remnant of the former dynasty who rebelled against Jing, planted spies in his Ministry of Justice, and is also a sixth-rank official that he usually respects. Let the Minister of Justice Yin Moqiao, think of it and be afraid!
The remnant of the previous dynasty actually worked with him every day, went on duty together, and had a one-on-one discussion on official business.
If he had been stabbed in the dark when no one was around, he would have been gone.
If the emperor hadn't gone crazy last night, he would have caught the spy in the Ministry of Justice. His life might have been in danger!
"I failed to observe, and I am to blame."
"Thanks to the emperor's wisdom!"
Yin Moqiao looked ugly and knelt down to admit his mistake.
Zhang Wei, the Dali Temple Minister next to him, was also embarrassed, "One of the two old men arrested in the teahouse has confessed, they, they are waiting..."
As he said that, Zhang Wei knelt down and prostrated himself.
"Wait for the result of Yuanxiao's assassination of the emperor."
Wei Zheng, who was beside Xiao Yunzhou, widened his eyes for a moment, "What? How dare you!"
Wei Zheng was the chief steward in front of the emperor, and he couldn't help but spray Zhang Wei, the Dali Temple Minister.
"Such a big thing, your Dali Temple has only just found out now, and before that, you repeatedly stopped the emperor from imprisoning these two old men!"
"Lord Zhang, you are so capable! Are you going to rebel!?"
"If it weren't for the emperor's wisdom, he would have asked the Ministry of War to arrest people long ago. Wouldn't it be dangerous now?"
"Ah bastard, who is the assassin, have you found out yet!"
Zhang Wei is in a high position. If he was pointed at by an eunuch and scolded in the past, he would definitely roll up his sleeves and scold the other party.
But now, he couldn't refute a word of Wei Zheng's scolding, and could only blush.
That's right.
He almost let go of an evil cult elder who assassinated the emperor!
"I am ashamed, eunuch Wei is right."
Xiao Yunzhou was very happy.
Although Wei Zheng only knows how to flatter, he is still very useful at critical moments, such as now.
Wei Zheng is responsible for the black face, and he, the emperor, can sing the red face.
"Okay, I haven't spoken yet, Wei Zheng, why are you in a hurry." Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand.
"How can you be so rude to an important official of the court, huh?"
Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was embarrassed and a little touched.
"Your Majesty, the elder has revealed the assassin, his name is Jiuxiao——"
But just when he was halfway through, Xiao Yunzhou slammed the table to stop him.
Xiao Yunzhou's face changed, "There's no need to talk about this assassin! I know it in my mind!"
Just kidding, the assassin Xiao Jiuzi with a force of 99, the eunuch who served tea, he spent more than ten days to persuade him.
It was not easy to persuade Xiao Jiuzi successfully, and he was recognized by the fairy world, so that he became one of the 108 people in the "Jingguo Elite Talent Atlas".
If the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple continued to investigate, and Xiao Jiuzi was unhappy, and the persuasion value fell back, wouldn't he have worked in vain?
Xiao Yunzhou put down the teacup directly, his face solemn, "You all pretend not to know the identity of this assassin Jiuxiao, and don't mention it again in the future."
"!"
"?"
Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Yin Moqiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, were shocked again.
Wei Zheng didn't understand, and was full of worry, "Your Majesty, this is related to your safety..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Wei and Yin Moqiao looked at him with contempt.
Wei Zheng was stupid.
Is the emperor's meaning not clear?
The Diyue Cult thought this assassin was one of theirs, but he was actually the emperor's!
Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was shocked by the emperor's means today.
"No wonder your majesty knew that the Diyue Cult elder was in the teahouse. It turns out that you also set up spies in the Diyue Cult!"
Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.
Ah?
"No wonder the emperor knows everything they do, even the tattoos on their backs. So that's it. The Diyue Cult actually has people from our court."
Ah.
That's really not the case.
There is only one little princess.
Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, and his ears were slightly hot. "Those Diyue Cult strongholds-"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. We can send troops to encircle and suppress them after dawn. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look and see if there are any strongholds that the other party confessed to missing?"
"..."
Ah.
What the hell does he know?
Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched, and he looked at the Minister of Justice who made such a proposal with a sad look, "My dear Yin, you are no longer a three-year-old child."
Minister Yin Moqiao: "......?"
"It's time to learn to grow up and solve cases by yourself."
"!"
"Ah, it's really hard for me to do this." Xiao Yunzhou shook his head.
"If people tell others that I am more powerful than the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Supreme Court, what should I do?"
"..."
