"The Ministry of Punishment has an unshirkable responsibility for the assassination of the ministers of the DPRK and China. This matter must be thoroughly investigated from the Ministry of Punishments. If no outsiders had tipped off the information, how could the assassination of the minister in Tiancheng be so smooth?!"
Jikong's face darkened, and the Minister of Punishment also looked cold, but Jikong didn't speak. Naturally, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department didn't know his attitude, so he didn't speak either.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and then Jikong sneered: "Okay, Sixth Sister feels that it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice, not the Zhendu Prefecture, so let's see who is responsible in the end!"
The Minister of Punishment knew Jikong's attitude, and he also snorted: "I'm afraid it's too early for Ye Shangshu to make a conclusion. If it is found that you directed and acted it yourself, just to win the sympathy of the Holy Emperor, what should you do?"
Other ministers of the Ministry of Punishment also opened their mouths one after another, attacking Ji Youlan's forces, blaming the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry.
However, when a member of the Ministry of Justice uttered words of rebuke to several ministers, the ministers of these ministers, including Liu Zhenyun, who had the highest status, did not even say a word and pretended not to hear them.
Compared with the strength of the Xingbu, they are still too weak. The main comparison is that in terms of the number of strong men, it is the last word to have big fists. Their fists are not strong, so how can they dare to quarrel with the Xingbu.
Seeing that no one took the lead to compete with the punishment department, Ye Wudao frowned suddenly, and Ji Youlan's face was not very good-looking. She really didn't expect that most of these officials were so weak.
Of course, when you think about it, it is not too unexpected. After all, a minister was assassinated last night, or one of their people. If he was in the limelight at this time, would he be assassinated?
Seeing that Ji Youlan's power was weak, Ji Kong raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Haha, that's all you can do. You're too young to want to go against me. You'd better think clearly about whose side you're going to stand on in the future."
"Your Highness, it's too early to speak." Ye Wudao directly contradicted him and said, "You must know that I am in charge of matters in the inner circle of the city."
Jikong's expression turned cold: "So what!?"
"I guess you did it!" Ye Wudao's tone was a bit harsh.
"Presumptuous!" Ji Qingqing's face flushed and he scolded: "You are just a little minister, but you dare to speak arrogant words to me, are you tired of living?!"
The Minister of Punishment and others also spoke one after another.
"Shang Shu Ye, how dare you question His Highness?"
"You didn't provide actual evidence. You are slandering and deserve the death penalty!"
"Now we can capture you in front of the emperor!"
Ji Qingwu, who was on the side of the Second Princess, saw the conflict intensify and watched the show with joy and had no intention of supporting anyone.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing slowly walked out from the back of the palace, and a majestic and dull voice sounded.
"Who are you going to capture?"
Everyone reacted immediately and hurriedly saluted Ji Tianxing.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
Ji Tianxing slowly walked towards the dragon chair, sat down and said calmly: "Tell me clearly, who do you want to win?"
Jikong said: "Father, Ye Shangshu made arrogant remarks. Before the facts were clear, he threatened that the assassination of the right minister of the Ministry of Industry was done by his subordinates!"
"Oh, so you, the Criminal Department, are going to capture him?" Ji Tianxing smiled playfully.
Ji Kong saw that Ji Tianxing looked wrong and immediately said: "I don't think so. The facts must be ascertained before we can draw a conclusion. As for any angry words and nonsense, naturally they cannot be treated as facts."
"Something happened in the past few days." Ji Tianxing's face turned gloomy and he said, "The Zhendu Prefecture is indeed responsible, but I think the responsibility of the Criminal Department is even greater!"
Jikong's expression changed and he said hurriedly: "Father, there are people from the Ministry of War outside Tiancheng who are cooperating with us to guard the city. After Ye Shangshu was attacked, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment worked together to defend Tiancheng!"
