It will come at night, and it will be dark in Chang'an City. However, the streets outside the Ministry of Justice were brightly lit, and torches were connected to the other like two fire dragons. The imperial guards in iron armor blocked all the nearby areas. The officers of the Ministry of Justice who were originally guarding the streets were driven back to the Ministry of Justice's yamen, no one was allowed to come out casually.

The emperor sat at the door of the Ministry of Justice and sat on the steps. The chair lifted by the person below was kicked away by him.

At this moment, people suddenly realized that His Majesty was a soldier in his bones.

Since the founding of the country of Daning, there is no second prince who plunged into the military camp at the age of sixteen as His Majesty when he was young. Other princes were still playing and playing freely. He had already bent his horse and bowed his bow, and led his troops to the northern border at the age of eighteen. How sharp was that?

He kicked the chair away with one kick and obviously wasn't very dignified. After all, His Majesty must look like His Majesty. Then His Majesty doesn't care, who dares to care?

The steps at the yamen were very cold. After all, it was winter night. Someone tried to ask His Majesty to put a cotton pad under his butt. His Majesty glared back at first glance.

Meng Chang'an naturally could not sit down, salute, stand solemnly, and had to hand over the sword to the guards of the inner guards.

"You four have you gone to recognize people, but one of them is from your Tingwei Mansion."

His Majesty gave the order, and the four thousand-dollars quickly went over and read it carefully. In fact, they had already seen it. These guys wearing the official uniforms of the Tingwei Mansion could not be people from the Tingwei Mansion.

"No."

"First take off their clothes for me, they desecrate the solemnity of the clothes I gave them."

The four thousand offices took off their official uniforms and stood on one side.

The old dean squatted beside the emperor and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be stopped in time."

The emperor looked at Meng Chang'an and pointed: "I don't have the final say, he has the final say. When will Meng Chang'an say enough, that's enough."

Soon, an official came over quickly: "Your Majesty, the warehouse of the Ministry of Justice found that there were seven missing official uniforms of the Tingwei Mansion. They were supposed to be distributed two days ago, but Lord Du Tingwei led his people to the south, so it was delayed."

"Who will take care of the warehouse?"

"Yes, yes...it's a humble minister."

Several minor officials were brought over to kneel in front of the emperor. The one in charge was just a seventh-rank official. He knelt on the other side and was trembling all over. He couldn't control himself. Because his arms were trembling too hard, he lay down without any effort. His face hit the ground, and he supported himself to support his body. He didn't dare to wipe the dirt on his face.

"Are you bribed?"

The emperor asked.

"I am not, my majesty, I am not sure why those murderers stole the clothes from the Ministry of Justice's warehouse."

"That's your duty, do you think you're innocent if you don't know?"

The emperor pointed to a minor official kneeling behind the man: "Do you know?"

The man kowtowed and pounded garlic: "Your Majesty, I really don't know."

"kill."

The emperor waved his hand.

Two big guards went over and dragged the clerk not far from Meng Chang'an, one pressed his shoulder and drew his knife. With a puff, the head was rolled out and blood sprayed all over the floor.

The emperor asked again: "Who knows now? Say whatever you know."

One of the minor officials cried and said, "It's him. He said two days ago that he had lost the warehouse key and brought a locksmith to replace the big lock again. He also gave us twenty taels of silver each for us to not tell us. Later, the Weichen found that there were fewer clothes, but... but he didn't dare to say it."

He was referring to the man kneeling in front of him. He was so scared that he lay down again when he heard this sentence, and could not even get up.

"The people you brought are among the seven people over there?"

“In…in.”

"Who is it? Let me point it."

The little official crawled forward and pointed at He Kui: "It's him...but, but Weichen really doesn't know what he did with that clothes. Liang Cheng, the chief clerk of the Ministry of War, introduced him to Weichen. He said that the most wanted to do in his life was the Tingwei's Mansion in the Tingwei Mansion. He wanted to wear that dress and experience it. He gave me five hundred taels of silver, and only said that he was trying it on. His Majesty. They lied to Weichen. After Weichen took him in, he took away a few clothes. Weichen also stopped him. He threatened Weichen and said that if he called someone, he would be a death sentence."

"Do you think you can escape the death penalty like this?"

The emperor waved his hand: "Kill."

The minor officials were pulled up and dragged to Meng Changan. They fell down with a knife, and the heads rolled down one by one. Meng Changan stood there with a expressionless face.

The old dean shook his head at Meng Changan, but Meng Changan turned a blind eye and just stood there quietly. Not to mention the old dean, he didn't even look at those heads.

"Bring Liang Cheng, the chief clerk of the Ministry of War."

When the emperor spoke, someone immediately broke up and rushed out.

The old dean lowered his voice beside the emperor and said, "This matter will not reach Pei Tingshan in the end. Those people confessed themselves and said that they were Pei Xiao's friends. Pei Tingshan could say that he knew nothing. His Majesty has arranged it for so long, so he can't hurry up."

Seeing that the emperor did not express his words, the old dean continued: "The incident of Bai Shangnian is still under control. The Bai family has not yet been convicted. If Pei Tingshan is involved, the two things will add up too big, and the big ones will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it... Dongjiang still has to be stable, and the affairs of the Bai family can also be removed. Bai Shangnian has never personally contacted Dou Huainan from beginning to end. At most, he will find his subordinates, at most, he will die alone... This matter is the same, at most, he will die a few insignificant small characters."

The emperor said lightly: "But I can't let my people feel cold."

The old dean looked at Meng Chang'an again and thought to himself, "Did you really let Your Majesty sit here all night?"

Meng Changan was still unmoved and stood there with an expressionless face.

Half an hour later, Liang Cheng, the chief clerk of the Ministry of War, was almost scared to death, was carried over by someone and couldn't even lift his head when he threw it on the ground.

"It was Gao Cong, the postmaster of Chang'an Post, who looked for Weichen. Weichen didn't know what they were going to do. He just took some money from Gao Cong and ate him twice. Weichen was confused for a moment, his Majesty was confused for a moment."

"kill."

The emperor only said one word.

The old dean suddenly realized that His Majesty investigated one person and killed one person, which was because he didn't want to make the matter too big. Otherwise, these people could have kept them for a careful investigation. The methods of the Tingwei Mansion could not have been found in the end. His Majesty wanted to make the scenes. The big ones could scare people to death, but they wouldn't really involve the reckless man in Dongjiang.

Not long after, Gao Cong, the postmaster of Chang'an Post, was brought. The man was about fifty years old and his hair was gray, and his face was as sharp as a knife and axe. When he was brought, he was very calm and did not seem to be afraid, which was in sharp contrast to the previous few people.

"Your Majesty, it was arranged by me."

Gao Cong knelt down, but his upper body was still straight.

"Why?"

The emperor asked.

"Weichen is the former subordinate of General Pei Xiao. Later, he was injured and had to leave the military camp. However, General Pei Xiao asked someone to arrange for Weichen to do things in Chang'an Post, hoping to make Weichen comfortable for the rest of his life. Weichen was very grateful to General Pei. But because Weichen came into contact with adults from all over the country at Chang'an Post, people heard that General Pei Xiao might have been killed by Meng Chang'an, Weichen wrote a letter to several old friends in the army, which were them."

Gao Cong pointed at He Kui and others: "They are also the old subordinates of General Pei Xiao, and they all received the favors of the general."

The emperor's face had never eased. Although Gao Cong was a smart person who took everything, if this matter was over Gao Cong, a small Chang'an Post Office Chief, it would obviously not be enough to slap the reckless man in Dongjiang in the face.

"Where are those people now?"

The emperor asked.

Gao Cong said nothing, and after a moment of silence, he bit off his tongue.

The emperor frowned: "Kill."

The big inner guard took the man over and chopped his head in front of Meng Chang'an. It was not until this time that Meng Chang'an was a little moved because he felt that Gao Cong was a man. Although Gao Cong wanted to swallow himself alive, he deserved respect.

"Your Majesty, that's enough."

Meng Chang'an bowed his head.

"Enough?"

The emperor snorted and pointed at He Kui and others: "Kill."

Another sword light came up.

So far, it seems that many people have been killed. As long as it is found out that all the people involved in the case have been killed, the case can actually be stopped at this moment. The old president and the Minister of Justice Yan Jugang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the Grand Secretary Mu Zhaotong's face was obviously a bit ugly. He did not expect that the emperor would stop such a big battle, which was far from meeting his expectations.

So Mu Zhaotong took a step forward and lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be arranged by these people. There must be someone behind the scenes instructing you. I ask Your Majesty to surrender and continue to investigate and investigate the root cause. I will definitely find out the truth."

The emperor nodded: "The Master of the Pavilion is right, I don't plan to not investigate."

The old dean glared at Mu Zhaotong, but Mu Zhaotong didn't even look at him.

"I think we should check the origins of these people, and there must be traces to these people entering Beijing."

Mu Zhaotong sneered in her heart, Your Majesty, what if you think of this thing that kills everyone?

The emperor nodded: "Tingwei Mansion."

The four thousand offices immediately stepped forward: "I am here."

"Go and check, don't be afraid of anyone. I asked you to check when these people entered the capital, who was put in, and whether the person who put in had any connection with the matter. After checking the origin, go to the place where they came to check to see if anyone is familiar with it."

Four thousand offices knelt down at the same time: "I obey the order."

The emperor glanced at Mu Zhaotong: "Gei Lao is better?"

Mu Zhaotong quickly lowered her head: "I still feel weak and weak at all times, and I can't keep up with my energy. I always feel dazed. I fell again at home today..."

He was about to say that the minister could already return to the cabinet. Now that something big happened, how could he not return to the cabinet? Only when he went back could he make the matter bigger and bigger.

"Then the master will continue to recuperate at home. Don't rush back. It is because I can't live without you that you must recuperate well."

The emperor stood up and said, "Return to the palace."

I didn’t give Mu Zhaotong the chance to have one more word.

"Sir, come with me, Meng Chang'an, you can come with me too."

"yes!"

The old dean and Meng Changan responded, looked at each other, staring at each other and pretending to be unable to see.

Yan Jugang, the Minister of Justice, felt that he was too heavy and had to hold on for a while. At this time, His Majesty could no longer hold on when he left. He sat down on the steps and felt that the steps were really cold.

The night wind and night dew, Your Majesty sat in this place for almost two hours, and it was about to dawn.
