Qi Ning smiled and nodded, "I heard that Mr. Chu has been busy all the time, so I came here to take a look."

Chu Mingwei said respectfully: "The officials were unable to come out to greet him, so I asked the Marquis to accept it. But the officials have been reviewing the files these two days, hoping to find some clues from it."

"Certainty?" Qi Ning said: "What's the clue?"

Chu Mingwei raised his hand and said, "Marty, the house is quiet, why not go into the house and talk?" He ordered, "Don't you look at the tea?"

Someone immediately went to pour tea, and Chu Mingwei took Qi Ning to the inner room and asked Qi Ning to sit down. Chu Mingwei said, "The Marquis doesn't know anything. After the King of Huainan rebelled, someone sent a list to the Ministry of Justice, and reported that those people were all remnants of the King of Huainan." He turned around and went to the table, took a letter of writing, and presented it to Qi Ning: "Mr. Please check it out!"

Qi Ning took the letter and then brought the tea. Chu Mingwei took it and put it to Qi Ning's hand. Qi Ning glanced a few times. Dou Kui was on the list first, and even the name of Wuxiang Hou Su Zhen was included.

"Who sent this?" Qi Ning handed the letter back to Chu Mingwei.

Chu Mingwei took it and put it back on the table. Then he came over and said, "I have reported this anonymously. The officials don't know who the person was doing. However, along with this list, there is still a lot of evidence, which was thrown in front of the gate of the Ministry of Justice in a package."

"Oh?" Qi Ning said calmly: "Whose evidence is it?"

"If the evidence is confirmed to be credible, at least seven or eight people on this list can be sentenced to death." Chu Mingwei whispered: "But there are only physical evidence and no evidence, so we need to investigate carefully. Among these evidences, several cases were first experienced by the Ministry of Justice, and the report proved that there were officials behind these cases. Therefore, the officials reviewed the relevant case files that had occurred before to see if they could find clues."

Only then did Qi Ning understand: "So that's the case, what can Mr. Chu find out?"

"In the investigation," Chu Mingwei whispered: "Originally, the investigation of the rebellion of King Huainan was led by Lord Da Xi, but...!" He smiled slightly and continued: "Now the officials are in charge, and the officials are not sure what to do. Fortunately, the emperor's order comes down and the marquis comes to take charge of the Ministry of Justice. The marquis will take charge of everything."

When Qi Ning saw Chu Mingwei's kindness when he spoke, he was not disgusted. He didn't know this person. Today he came to the Ministry of Justice to take office. Officials of all sizes of the Ministry of Justice were very cold. However, Qi Ning didn't know whether it was because Chu Mingwei gave orders or the officials of the Ministry of Justice spontaneously showed rudeness and coldness to themselves.

"Since Mr. Chu is investigating this case, there is no need to turn others around." Qi Ning picked up the teacup and smiled: "Although I have received the emperor's kindness and came to the director of the Ministry of Justice, I am a newcomer and not familiar with the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Chu is an old man from the Ministry of Justice. Please give me some advice on everything in the future."

"How dare you, the Marquis's words are so serious." Chu Mingwei immediately said: "The Marquis's young and promising. If it weren't for this, the Emperor wouldn't have given such a heavy burden on the Marquis' shoulders." After pondering slightly, he whispered: "The Marquis's orders, and the officials will do their best, but... there are many officials involved in this matter, and some officials are important officials in the court. When handling the case, I wonder if the Marquis's advice is there?"

When Qi Ning heard this, he immediately knew what Chu Mingwei meant.

It is unusual to investigate the case of King Huainan. If you are not careful, you will start a shocking case and shake the court. But everyone knows that the Sima family wants to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Although everyone in the court knew that Qi Ning seemed to be determined to protect the remnants of the King of Huainan, many people still had doubts about whether Qi Ning really wanted to fight the Sima family to the end in this matter.

Now that Qi Ning is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, his attitude towards this case also reveals Qi Ning's real thoughts. Chu Mingwei seemed to ask casually, but in fact he was testing Qi Ning's final decision.

Qi Ning was naturally aware of this, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't know the details of this case yet, and I have no orders. However, the court has laws and the emperor has an order. If someone can really find out that someone is involved in the rebellion of the King of Huainan, he will naturally be severely punished." Chuchamo and smiled and said, "But if the evidence is insufficient, you must never act rashly. After all, the Ministry of Justice is in charge of the major matters of life and death penalty, which is not a minor matter. If there is really a false and wrong case under my official hands, wouldn't it be a joke for the people of the world?"

"What the Marquis said is very true." Chu Mingwei said respectfully: "Fair and honest, this is the way to handle the case." He sighed: "If we keep these words, our Ministry of Justice will not have unjust cases..."

"Underated case?" Qi Ning's expression narrowed: "Shilarious Minister Chu, is it possible that there have been many unjust cases in our Ministry of Justice?"

Chu Mingwei reacted and hurriedly said, "No, Marquis, what the subordinates mean is that as long as we adhere to the principles of Marquis, there will be no unjust cases in our Ministry of Justice, and there is no other meaning."

Seeing Chu Mingwei's gaze strange, Qi Ning didn't ask, nodded slightly and said, "I came here today. I thought I would meet everyone, but seeing that everyone was busy, it would be difficult to summon everyone." After pausing, he asked, "When will Da Xichong return to the yamen?"

"I went to visit him. Lord Da Xi's injuries have not yet recovered, but after recuperation, I can recover as usual." Chu Mingwei said: "It should be impossible to handle it within a month."

Qi Ning said: "You find someone to send a message to Da Xichong. Three days later, I will click Mao in the yamen. No one is absent. Even if I lift him, I will be carried over."

"Ah?" Chu Mingwei was stunned, but he still said respectfully: "The officials will definitely send someone to pass on the message."

"Okay, Mr. Chu should be on the job." Qi Ning stood up and smiled, "Since we are busy, I won't cause trouble for you here." He didn't say nonsense, turned around and left. Chu Mingwei was stunned for a moment, but quickly followed behind and sent Qi Ning out.

Today, Qi Ning just went to the Ministry of Justice to check the situation. The reactions of the officials of the Ministry of Justice were beyond Qi Ning's expectations.

He thought that even if the officials who came to the Ministry of Justice were not warmly welcomed, they would at least respect themselves in terms of face. Now it seems that he has thought things too simple.

Not to mention that he has no foundation in the Ministry of Justice, even if Jinyi manages the family, his influence in the Ministry of Justice is very small. The power of Jinyi manages the family has never penetrated into the Ministry of Justice. For officials of the Ministry of Justice, Qi Ning is a stranger and is completely out of the Ministry of Justice system.

Qi Ning knew that the Ministry of Justice was intricate. Although he was a marquis, it was a delusion to be able to easily control the Ministry of Justice by virtue of the name of the marquis.

When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he saw a carriage parked outside the door. As soon as he entered the mansion, he met the third old master of the Han family. The fat sixth master Qi Song followed him, and General Manager Han accompanied him to send him out. When he ran into Qi Ning back, Qi Song's eyes lit up and said anxiously: "Mr. Marquis, you are back. The mansion said that you went to the Ministry of Justice. We thought you were going to come back until night, so...!"

The marriage between Qi Ning and Ximen Zhanying slightly eased the relationship between Jinyi Hou Mansion and the Qi tribe.

The Qi brothers were organizing in the Qi clan, and they raised 10,000 taels of silver for Qi Ning. In addition, the third old master has been running to the Ximen family for Qi Ning's marriage for a while. Although Qi Ning knew that they were just trying to attract the will of a greed, they had done some things for him after all, and they were not as cold as before. Before the wedding, there were still many things to ask these people to help, and said with a smile: "The third old master is here? There is nothing wrong in the yamen, so I came back early."

The third old man still raised his head slightly. Even though he had already compromised with Qi Ning in his heart, he still acted like an elder on his face: "When you have an errand, you should do it well, and you must not be careless."

Qi Ning smiled slightly, Qi Song seemed to think that the old man said this to Qi Ning at this time was a bit inappropriate, and he smiled apologized: "Marty, my father came here today to tell you that the wedding date has been set. My father invited someone to see the day, and agreed with the God of Hou to set the day on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month."

"The eighth day of the September 19th?" Qi Ning calculated and said, "There is more than a month left."

"The weather was the best at that time, not as hot as it is now." Qi Song smiled and said, "The sky is high and the air is cool, which is a good time, and we have enough time to prepare well. Although the marriage will not be extravagant, our Qi family is a prominent family after all, and we still need the face we should ask for. We cannot be careless in some particular aspects."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "This is a blessing for the seniors and brothers in the clan." He shrugged and said, "I can't take out any expenses, but you can just go to the account to withdraw them."

The third old master didn't say much, so he walked away. Qi Song followed him with a few steps, but stopped, turned around and walked to Qi Ning, and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Marquis, I want to ask you for help if you have some small things."

"What's the matter? Uncle Six doesn't have to be so polite."

When Qi Song heard Qi Ning call him "Uncle Six", he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm not polite to my family. That's right? Haven't you become the Minister of Justice? Look, there are any vacant positions in the yamen. Uncle Six thought that if there was a suitable errand, could I also go to the Ministry of Justice for errands?"

Qi Ning said: "Do you want to work as an employee at the Ministry of Justice?"

"Actually, I have always wanted to find an errand." Qi Song sighed, "But there has never been any way." He lowered his voice and said, "If the Marquis can arrange a job for Uncle Six in the Ministry of Justice, the necessary expenses will be available."

Qi Ning knew that although the old Marquis Jinyi and Qi Jing both held high power when they were alive, they still had to promote the people in their clan. Even today, not many of the Qinhuai Legion were children of the Qi family.

Qi Song has mediocre talents. On the day of Qi Jing's lifetime, it was a delusion to be promoted by Qi Jing.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I really don't know if there is a suitable task in the Ministry of Justice, but does Uncle Six understand the name of a criminal case?"

"This...!" Qi Song smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Six doesn't understand those, but not everyone must understand this as a yamen as the Ministry of Justice. There are always some errands that don't have to interrogate the case. Yes, doesn't the Ministry of Justice arrest people often? Otherwise, if you let Uncle Six lead the soldiers to arrest the prisoners, Uncle Six thinks it's appropriate?"

Qi Ning was disdainful and thought that even if he led the troops to arrest people, he would have to work hard. But he didn't say it out loud, and said with a smile: "I can't promise you now, but just remember this. If there is really a job that suits you, I'll ask you to go over and take the job."
