Well said! Several censors nearby praised him with their eyes.
Yan Shiyue thought about it: "If you say so, it makes sense."
The censor was refreshed.
Yan Shiyue said: "Okay, come on, let's discuss whether there is a way to get the best of both worlds..." She took everyone to the side hall and asked people to serve tea.
While asking: "According to what you said, is it inappropriate to do this?"
"Of course it's inappropriate!"
"Then what should we do?"
The censor said: "Just follow the law, follow the principles, and follow the old rules! Now that something has happened, it is up to the Ministry of Punishment to work together to find out the case! How can we isolate people?"
Yan Shiyue said solemnly: "But this person is suing the minister of the DPRK, our colleague. This person has a high position and has countless disciples and old friends..." Following her words, everyone's expressions changed subtly.
He continued: "What would happen if someone tipped off the news?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Then someone said: "How can the prime minister doubt the integrity of his colleagues so much!"
"Because I am a villain. I am a villain first and then a gentleman." She smiled and said: "So, where are you adults? Don't you doubt the integrity of your colleagues?"
When no one answered, she pointed at them one by one: "Mr. Zhou?"
The person she pointed out could only say impassionedly: "Of course I won't doubt it!"
"Master Liu?"
"There will be no doubt! As long as the matter is explained clearly, the secret cannot be leaked. I believe that my colleagues in the Criminal Department will not knowingly commit the crime!"
"Master Zhao?"
"Exactly! Just tell them clearly!"
They did not realize that they had fallen into a ditch. The matter had changed from "whether it was inappropriate to send troops to surround the courtyard" to "whether it was necessary to send troops to surround the courtyard." It was an extremely subtle change, but it was very different.
Yan Shiyue asked them one by one, and then said seriously: "So you all trust your colleagues so much! You are really a gentleman! I am very ashamed of myself!"
She changed her words and said: "So, what you all mean is that I just need to make it clear to them that this matter cannot be leaked, and then I can withdraw the Yulin Army and let them move around on their own, and you all believe that they will not
Is it right to knowingly and intentionally tip off someone?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Yan Shiyue suddenly put down the tea cup: "Is that right?"
Everyone could only say: "Yes."
"No one has any objections, right?"
"yes."
"Really not?"
Several censors looked at each other, stood up and held their hands together, saying in unison, "We have no objection!"
"Okay," Yan Shiyue called Yiye in: "Send a message to Jiahe and ask them to withdraw, and then the Yulin army outside also withdrew. Then you go in, tell them the truth, and tell them the truth.
This matter is of great importance, and the secret must not be leaked until the matter is fully investigated. Please remember this."
Yiye responded and left.
The censors didn't expect it to be so easy. They all breathed a sigh of relief and were a little proud. After all, they worked together to convince the Prime Minister! Hehehehehe...
After a while, Jiahe came in and reported back, saying that the manpower had been withdrawn.
The censors were about to leave when they heard her continue: "Go to Aye's place and lend me Gu Jiuxing or Li Dequan."
Jia He left in response, and soon Gu Jiuxing came. Yan Shiyue said: "Mr. Gu, please have a seat."
How could Gu Jiuxing dare to sit down? He even said he didn't dare, so Yan Shiyue said: "Then please ask Mr. Gu to sit outside and serve tea with pleasure."
Gu Jiuxing withdrew. The censors were extremely puzzled and looked at each other.
Yan Shiyue smiled and said: "The truth has just been said, I am a villain, you are all gentlemen, and your mind is magnanimous. I am far behind."
She paused: "So, in order to show that it is necessary to send people to surround the courtyard, I sent out a few shadow guards, one after another, not more, only half an hour, if it is within half an hour
, these people don’t do anything, that means I’m a villain in vain. I’d like to drink wine to apologize to you and everyone in the Punishment Department, but what if it’s the other way around...” She smiled slightly and glanced at everyone one by one.
, smiling and saying nothing.
The censors' eyes were wide open in shock, and their backs were wet with sweat.
How terrible! They never expected that this man's methods were so sophisticated.
And the way she sits on top, calm and strategizing, doesn't look like a young lady? Even a veteran who has been working in the court for decades is nothing more than this!
The room was quiet for a while and you could hear a pin drop.
A censor named Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stood up, and said: "Master Xiang, I want to change my clothes."
Yan Shiyue smiled and said: "Master Liu, go ahead. Don't worry, Master Liu. I will not send shadow guards to follow Master Liu. After all, Master Liu is the supervisory censor, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, correcting prison sentences, etc., I
I believe Mr. Liu will never knowingly commit a crime, otherwise, why would he have the nerve to take on this position again? Do you think so?"
Liu Chang was sweating and sat back down again: "I'll be patient, please."
Gu Jiuxing is still outside!
What she said was so clear, and she would tell Emperor Ming Yan later... No matter what he did or didn't do, his official position would definitely be gone.
Everyone just sat quietly drinking tea.
In fact, no one could drink it except Yan Shiyue.
There are many things that I’m afraid to think about carefully.
Some people are thinking that when she gave the order, she didn't mention the shadow guards at all. In other words, she gave the order to the shadow guards before coming here... Doesn't that mean that she has some ideas about what they would say?
The attitude and the final result are already clear in your mind??
It’s ridiculous that they still think they are good at winning alone!
Some people are also thinking that she directly asked someone to borrow someone from Emperor Ming Yan. Emperor Ming Yan could not have guessed what she wanted to do, but he still sent Gu Jiuxing directly instead of Li Dequan or any other eunuch.
Isn't that his attitude?
After a while, the shadow guards came in one by one to report.
For example, Minister Li Jinzhong immediately went to find Lin Fujian! For example, Minister Zhou Chengyi immediately went to see Prince Yu...
"My lords," Yan Shiyue said earnestly, "So, do you understand? You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts... This is the case for the two adults at the head of the Criminal Department. So, do you think it is necessary for the Prime Minister to seal the courtyard?
Is it wasted effort?”
Everyone's faces were bruised from the beating, and everyone smiled bitterly without answering.
At this moment, Yan Shiyue didn't hesitate, stood up and walked out, saying at the same time: "By the way, let me tell you that the man sued Mr. Lin Ge for murder and silence, which involved four lives..."
She glanced back and said lightly: "You must keep it a secret!"
In the previous official documents from the Ministry of Punishments, people were only sent to deliver them wherever they went, without mentioning specific names or events, but she just told them this part.
In the meantime, the grasp of people's hearts is really terrible.
Who said she couldn't be an official?? This is called not being an official?? She obviously knows more than them! (To be continued)
