Chapter 661 Shrimp Catching Big Fish (Part 2)(2/2)

Li Gan sighed and said, "Shangshu Wei, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Zhang Bingguo, but we did find this person from your mansion. Because you are the prime minister, I dare not be careless and went to ask the Empress Dowager for instructions. The Empress Dowager said that it was not enough for us to come forward, so the Empress Dowager asked the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice to come forward as supervision proof. Now, the monk Cui Zhongcheng and the Minister of Justice have seen it with their own eyes. You won't say that I am wronging you!"

"this......"

Wei Tao was speechless, and he suddenly turned around and yelled, "Go quickly! Come find that Zhang Bingguo."

Wei Jun ran away with dozens of servants, and Wei Tao said to Li Gan and others: "Please wait for a while, I will let Zhang Bingguo come out to confront him."

"Okay! Let's wait."

Time passed little by little, and Wei Tao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. If Zhang Bingguo hadn't confronted him, he would have been unable to clear his head if he jumped into the Yellow River. He colluded with fake officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty and was also a fake official who endangered the court. Once this crime was confirmed, he would not only lose his official position, but he would even be beheaded.

Finally, Wei Jun and others came back. Wei Tao grabbed him in a hurry and asked, "Have you found it?"

Wei Jun shook his head, "It's strange, I can't find him."

"This... how is this possible!"

Li Gan got the guest sign-in book today and said to Wei Tao: "Shangshu Wei, I don't think you need to look for it."

He raised the sign-in book in his hand and said coldly: "I have read it several times, but there is no signature from Zhang Bingguo. Shangshu Wei, I'm sorry, we have to report the Empress Dowager and can't wait any longer."

Wei Tao grabbed his son's collar in an anxious manner, gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on?"

Wei Jun was scared and stammered, "You only... pay attention to the people next to him, no... pay attention to whether he has signed it."

Wei Tao only felt that the sky was turning dizzy. Now, he really couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

At this time, Cui Qi walked forward again, "Shangshu Wei, I have another order from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that if Shangshu Wei is innocent, I don't have to take it out, but I have to take it out in the current situation."

He unveiled another decree and read aloud: "The fake official of the Southern Tang Dynasty secretly explored Qi Xun to frame the important officials of the court, endangering the Tang Dynasty's principles, and was extremely evil. This case will be investigated strictly to the end. No matter who is involved in the case or any official, you should not be violating the law. Wei Tao, the Minister of Rites, is involved in this case and is suspected of being in charge of the court. He is now suspended from all his duties. He is handed over to the Censorate to supervise the facts before handling it. I am hereby proud!"

After reading the Queen Mother’s decree, Cui Qi said lightly: "Please invite Envoy Wei to stay at the Censorate for a few days. It is true that you are innocent and naturally safe. I hope Envoy Wei will not make me embarrassed, please!"

Wei Tao watched Li Gan put away his guest book. He seemed to understand something, but he felt a breath of air in his chest, making him unable to breathe. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his eyes turned black and he collapsed softly to the ground.

"Father!"

"Shisan Wei!"
