Lieutenant Chi Fang, the chief arrest officer of the Supervisory Department of the Ministry of Punishments, was so angry that his face turned livid.
I thought that the nine-foot-tall Wei man, the dignified chief of the Supervisory Department, would be so humiliated today in the prison cell of the Criminal Department.
He tried hard to struggle, but unfortunately, Zongwei Chu Heng, as the most powerful among the Zongwei around Zhao Hongrun, could not break free no matter how hard Yuchifang struggled.
After a long time, Zhao Hongrun asked from the side: "Is there any, Lu Mu?"
"Not yet..." Lu Mu asked two guards to open Yuchi Fang's mouth, squinted his eyes and groped with his hands in his mouth, and shook his head for a long time: "It seems not."
After that, he waved his hand to make the two guards let go of Yuchi Fang's mouth.
At this moment, Lieutenant Chi Fang, the chief of the Supervisory Department, seemed to feel that his whole mouth was about to tear. He looked at Zhao Hongrun, Xu Rong, Chu Shuli and others with an angry face, and howled angrily: "His Royal Highness King Su, how many more people are there?"
Sir, why do you humiliate a humble position like this? A humble position requires..."
Just as he was about to report this matter to Chui Gong Hall, he heard an exclamation from not far away: "Found it!"
What...what's going on?
Lieutenant Chi Fang, the chief of the Supervisory Department, instantly felt that he had regained his freedom. At the same time, he was also shocked to see Zhao Hongrun, Xu Rong and others rushing over there.
Having similar doubts to him, Tan Gongpei, the Vice Minister of the Department of Regulations, this poor civil servant, was picking up a tea cup to rinse his mouth with a disgusted look on his face.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun and others had gathered around Yu Yan, the official responsible for the punishment of stolen goods. Beside him, Zongwei He Miao was holding up something similar to a tooth in his hand.
"Check!" Xu Rong, the minister of Dali Temple, shouted with a straight face.
Under the confused gazes of more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the class room, Zongwei He Miao picked up a tea cup on the nearby table, poured the tea in the cup on the ground, and then squeezed the thing that looked like teeth in his hand, only to see the inside of the thing
Dark, slightly thick juice oozes out.
At the same time, Zongwei Zhongzhao took out a silver chopstick from his arms, put it into the cup, and vigorously stirred the juice in the cup.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the originally smooth silver chopsticks were covered with a layer of black stains.
this……
The Chief Inspector of the Supervisory Department, Lieutenant Chi Fang, who was originally furious, could no longer be angry after seeing this scene. He could not help but look at the colleague who was still forcibly controlled by the Imperial Guards and the Zong Guards with horrified eyes.
The proverb of Kulang Guan Yu.
As the chief arrester of the Supervisory Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yu Chifang certainly knew what it was, but the question was, why did his colleague Yu Yan have a poison bag that only dead soldiers carry in his mouth?
"Tang Shilang, what's going on?" Yuchi Fang gently tugged on the sleeve of Tang Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and he vaguely realized that the whole thing might not be simple.
Tang Zheng shook his head and motioned to Yuchi Fang to watch.
At this time, Dali Temple Minister Xu Rong took the teacup and walked up to Yu Yan, the official of the confiscation treasury, and asked coldly: "The official of the Ministry of Punishment, Yu Yanyu, right?...
Master Yu, what is this?"
Yu Yan, the treasurer who punished the stolen goods, looked at Xu Rong expressionlessly. In fact, when Xu Rong and others rushed in, he already had a bad feeling. Unfortunately, he was about to bite the poison sac in his mouth.
At that time, Zongwei Zhu Gui forcibly opened his mouth.
"Humph." He said expressionlessly: "Now that the matter is over, what else do you have to ask?"
"Hmm." Xu Rong nodded and signaled Zongwei Gao Kuo, Zhongzhao and the others to take Yu Yan to the side. Then, he looked around at the bewildered and confused officials of the Ministry of Punishment in the room, and his heart moved slightly, and he said:
"For the sake of caution, sir, please open your mouths... There is no need to check the Chief Inspector Yuchi and Mr. Tan Gongpei who have just been checked."
The officials of the Criminal Department in the room looked at each other. Although they were shocked and confused, they still followed the instructions and opened their mouths one by one, waiting for the Zongwei to verify.
Suddenly, a man in the back suddenly raised his head, grabbed the sword from the guard beside him, rushed to Yu Yan in a few steps, and stabbed the latter.
The strange thing is that instead of hiding, Yu Yan tried hard to catch up.
At this moment, a stool flew over from a short distance and hit the official with a bang, knocking him to the ground.
It turned out that it was Lieutenant Chi Fang, the chief arrest officer of the Supervisory Department, who saw this scene and used his feet to lift up a wooden bench next to him, threw it out, and hit the official.
It has to be said that as the chief arrester of the Criminal Department's Supervisory Department, Yuchifang's martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary.
"Take it!"
The frightened and angry Dali Temple Minister Zheng Xu Rong yelled angrily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mu, the closest Zongwei, stepped forward and lifted the man up. However, the man glanced at Yu Yan, gritted his teeth with all his strength, and within the blink of an eye, he lost his breath.
Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao stepped forward and tested the man's breath, then opened his mouth and took a sniff. Then he turned back and shook his head towards Zhao Hongrun and Xu Rong, indicating that the man was dead.
hateful……
Xu Rong, the minister of Dali Temple who was about to resign and retire, had a face full of anger at this moment. He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Unsheath the Imperial Guard's Sword!... Everyone in this room, one by one, give it to me."
search!"
Hearing this, the guards took out their swords from their sheaths one after another and glanced at the dozens of officials from the Ministry of Justice with cold eyes.
After that, the Zongwei and the imperial guards carefully inspected the mouths of every official of the Ministry of Punishment, including Tang Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Shan Ming, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, but they confirmed that there were no poison sacs hidden in their mouths, and their teeth were all poisonous.
It was quite complete, and Xu Rong, the minister of Dali Temple, waved his hand and told the guards to put away their swords.
At this time, Lieutenant Chi Fang, the chief arrest officer of the Supervisory Department, rubbed his cheeks with his hands, slowly walked to the dead colleague, and said in a complicated tone: "It's Xu Pu, the lieutenant of the Qiu Shen Department."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Rong, the minister of Dali Temple, and asked: "Master Xu, what on earth is going on?"
Xu Rong did not explain the matter immediately, but first asked Shaoqing Yang Yu to lead a team of guards to take Yu Yan down and take him into custody. For the sake of caution, Zhao Hongrun ordered Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao, He Miao and Zhu Guisi to
Accompanied by someone.
After these people left, Xu Rong told the truth of the matter to the officials of the Ministry of Punishments present, who were all dumbfounded.
In the dignified Department of Criminal Justice, there was actually a traitor who assisted the evil gang in harming Shangshu Zhou Yan, and even took the position of doctor.
What’s even more shocking is that there is more than one thief!
Two whole people!
Two officials from the Ministry of Punishment.
This is no longer a question of whether the Ministry of Punishment will be embarrassed by this. The fundamental question is, what do these people want to do?
Subvert the imperial court?
More than half of the Ministry of Justice officials present subconsciously wiped sweat with their sleeves to wipe away the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"Tang Shilang, Shan Shilang, and Chief Yuchi arrested the head." Xu Rong turned to look at these three people, stroking his beard and said: "The minions of the evil party, I suspect that they have infiltrated our court... The other six government offices will not be included for the time being.
Not to mention, your department... I hope that some of you will cooperate with the imperial guards to conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation. Perhaps the evil gang lurking in the punishment department is not just these two men."
"As you command!"
Tang Zheng, the left minister of the Criminal Department, Shan Ming, the right minister, and Wei Chi Fang, the chief arrest officer of the Superintendent's Department, all three of them clasped their hands and accepted the matter.
On that day, the military guards and imperial guards sealed off the entire Ministry of Justice office and conducted a thorough investigation of everyone in the office.
Sure enough, during the period, three more accomplices of the evil gang were found. However, these three people did not hold high positions. Two of them were ordinary government servants, and one of them was the principal. They were far less powerful than Yu Yan, the official who had stolen stolen goods and punished Kulang, and the deceased
Xu Pu, the chief minister of the Qiu Dynasty, had such a status.
When he learned the result, Dali Temple Qingzheng Xu Rong's hand holding the tea cup was trembling.
Because there is only one Ministry of Punishment, five minions of the ruthless party were found. So, how many minions of the ruthless party are hidden among the six ministries and twenty-four divisions of the imperial court, plus a few other scattered government offices?
Xu Rong, the minister of Dali Temple who had been investigating and solving the case for more than ten years, felt an inexplicable fear in his heart for the first time, because he gradually realized that the murderer he was tracking down, who killed Zhou Yan, the Minister of Punishment, was not just one person or several people.
, it was an extremely huge force, so huge that it had penetrated into the imperial court.
What kind of force can achieve this?
What on earth are these people going to do?!
In the squad room of Zhou Yan, the Minister of Punishment, Zhao Hongrun, Xu Rong, Chu Shuli and others looked solemn, and no one spoke, making the atmosphere particularly solemn.
After a long time, Xu Rong, the minister of Dali Temple, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness King Su, as well as the adults here, it's getting late, shall we call it a day?"
Everyone in the room nodded dully.
It has to be said that these DPRK and Chinese officials were frightened, frightened by the tip of the iceberg of the evil party forces lurking behind the scenes.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment and nodded.
Even he needs some time to digest the changes that happened today.
A group of people came outside the main office of the Ministry of Punishment.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. Zhao Hongrun originally wanted to go back to Prince Su's Mansion, but when he saw a group of imperial guards escorting Yu Yan out, he changed his mind.
"Master Xu, please let me go with you," he said to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong looked back at Yu Yan thoughtfully, and immediately guessed the meaning of His Royal Highness Prince Su in front of him: After finally catching another one, how can we take it lightly again? Who can guarantee that Yu Yan's arrest will not be caught by that person?
What does the leader of the evil party know?
To be cautious, Xu Rong first asked a group of imperial guards to go to Dali Temple with great fanfare, pretending to be escorting Yu Yan.
After that, he asked Shaoqing Yang Yu to put Yu Yan into the carriage from Dali Temple, and asked Zongwei Gao Kuo, Zhongzhao, He Miao and Zhu Gui to take personal custody of him.
As for him and Chu Shuli, they rode in the latter's carriage with Zhao Hongrun.
The two carriages deliberately made several detours before heading towards Dali Temple.
At this time, the atmosphere in the carriage was so depressing and terrifying that neither Zhao Hongrun nor the two elders had the intention to speak.
I don't know how long it took, but the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, causing Zhao Hongrun, Xu Rong, and Chu Shuli to lean forward.
Just as Zhao Hongrun was about to ask, he heard a low warning from Zongwei Lu Mu coming from outside.
"Your Highness, there is a thief!"
Zhao Hongrun raised the curtains of the carriage and looked out. Only then did he realize that a group of civilians were pouring out of the street from all directions.
What is horrifying is that these seemingly civilians are all holding sharp swords, and some even hold military crossbows.
Can this be intercepted?
Zhao Hongrun was shocked and was about to tell the clan guards to guard the carriage. At this moment, he saw several salesmen carrying baskets selling on the road, as well as passers-by and even roadside stall owners, all pulling out weapons one after another.
Killed those civilians.
The two groups went on a killing spree.
What the hell is going on here?
Zhao Hongrun, Xu Rong, and Chu Shuli looked at each other. (To be continued.)
