Chapter 121 What should I do if I am more powerful than the Ministry of Punishment?

"I didn't expect that the old teacher would have such the same hobby as the sixth-rank officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple."

"The tattoos are all in such perfect harmony."

Xiao Yunzhou looked at the two pale old men in the cell with a sullen face, as well as the two young officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple who were trembling with fear.

"Are you going to confess in the prison cell of Dali Temple, or in the prison of Jinyiwei?"

Xiao Yunzhou turned around and sat down on the chair brought by the guard.

The four people froze for an instant, their eyes intersecting.

Everyone can see clearly that the word "anti" on their backs is similar in size and located under the same butterfly bone on the right back.

This damn coincidence, coupled with the damn word 'anti', cannot possibly appear to officials and people at the same time.

If it comes up, it’ll be hard not to think about it!

"I, I'll do it!" Zhao Yunlei, the Prime Minister of Yousi of Dali Temple, turned out to be the first one who couldn't hold on.

"Bastard, don't talk nonsense! I don't know you!" The old man in the prison wanted to deny it.

But Zhao Yunlei, the Prime Minister of Yousi of Dali Temple, was young and couldn't help but tremble when he saw the imperial guards and the emperor with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, I'll recruit you, I'm from the Earth and Moon Sect!"

"!"

"??"

"!!"

All the officials in the Dali Temple cell were shocked.

What, what teaching?

This sounds like it is not serious Taoism.

Zhang Wei, the minister of Dali Temple, turned pale from black to pale.

"But I was forced. I was an orphan and was raised by them. If I didn't obey them since I was a child, they wouldn't give me food and would beat and scold me. Many people were beaten to death and starved to death."

"Because I can study and get the honors, they re-employed me. They threatened me with my wife and children, and asked me to engrave words. They threatened me with the words behind my back, forcing me to continue working for the Diyue Sect and spread the news! Otherwise, they will do it at any time. You can use the words behind me to report me to the court!"

Zhao Yunlei betrayed the Diyue Sect in an instant and told the truth.

The writing on the back not only shows loyalty, but also threatens.

Officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were all stunned.

Evil religion, this is an evil religion!

Xiao Yunzhou snorted coldly, "You know a few strongholds, so recruit them from the ground. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will coordinate the investigation!"

The lights of Dali Temple stay on all night long.

The interrogation lasted all night.

Finally, when the rooster crows, the sweaty Dali Temple minister and the Minister of Punishment run to the emperor with a thick stack of confessions!

"Your Majesty, those two old men... turned out to be the elders of the Earth and Moon Sect!"

"One is the deputy leader."

"They, they want to overthrow Jing and restore the emperor."

"They are the remnants of the previous imperial family."

The top leader of the Dali Temple, Zhang Wei, blushed all over.

The Minister of Justice kept wiping his sweat and looked at Xiao Yunzhou cautiously.

Xiao Yunzhou didn't even turn over the confession, he just hummed calmly, with a calm expression of 'I knew it a long time ago'.

Yin Moqiao, the Minister of Punishment, was shocked. He was shocked by the emperor's calm appearance.

Sure enough, the emperor already knew?

horrible.

The emperor sits in the palace every day, but he knows more than six volumes of information!

This isn't the first time.

Yin Moqiao was panicked before, but now he feels a little... at ease?

This kind of evil cult member, a remnant of the previous dynasty, had an informant in his Ministry of Punishment, and was a sixth-rank official he usually valued. The thought of it made Yin Moqiao, the Minister of Punishment, cringe!

The remnant of the previous dynasty actually worked with him every day, went on duty together, and even had one-on-one discussions on official matters.

If you give him a knife when no one is around, he will be gone.

If the emperor hadn't gone crazy last night, if he hadn't known everything and caught the spies in the Ministry of Punishment, his life might have been in danger!

"I cannot escape the blame for my oversight."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yin Moqiao looked ugly and knelt down to admit his mistake.

Zhang Wei, the minister of Dali Temple next to him, also looked embarrassed, "One of the two old men arrested in the teahouse has already confessed. They, they are waiting..."

With that said, Zhang Wei knelt down and bowed to the ground.

"Waiting for the results of the Lantern Festival assassination of the emperor."

Wei Zheng, who was beside Xiao Yunzhou, widened his eyes for a moment, "What? How bold!"

Wei Zheng, the chief steward of the imperial court, couldn't help but criticize Zhang Wei, the minister of Dali Temple.

"You, Dali Temple, have only just brought this important matter to trial now. Before that, you had repeatedly tried to prevent the emperor from imprisoning these two old men!"

"Master Zhang, you are so capable! Are you going to rebel!?"

"If the emperor hadn't been wise and asked the Ministry of War to arrest people earlier, wouldn't it be dangerous now?"

"Ah, bastard, who is the assassin? Have you found out yet?"

Zhang Wei was in a high position. If he had been scolded by a eunuch in the past, he would definitely roll up his sleeves and scold him.

But now, Wei Zheng was scolding him, and he couldn't defend a single word, he could only blush.

That's right.

I almost let go of a cult elder who assassinated the emperor!

"Old minister, I'm ashamed. That's what Eunuch Wei said."

Xiao Yunzhou felt great.

Although Wei Zheng only knows how to flatter people, he is still very useful in critical moments, such as now.

Wei Zheng is responsible for the bad side, and as the emperor, he can play the red side.

"Okay, I haven't spoken yet, Wei Zheng, why are you so anxious?" Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand.

"How can you be so rude to an important official of the imperial court, huh?"

Zhang Wei, the minister of Dali Temple, was embarrassed and a little moved.

"Your Majesty, that elder has recruited an assassin, his name is Jiuxiao——"

But just when he was halfway through, Xiao Yunzhou slammed the table to stop him.

Xiao Yunzhou's face changed, "There's no need to talk about this assassin! I know it in my mind!"

Just kidding, the assassin Xiao Jiuzi with a force of 99, the eunuch who served tea, he spent more than ten days to persuade him.

It was not easy to persuade Xiao Jiuzi successfully, and he was recognized by the fairy world, so that he became one of the 108 people in the "Jingguo Elite Talent Atlas".

If the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple continued to investigate, and Xiao Jiuzi was unhappy, and the persuasion value fell back, wouldn't he have worked in vain?

Xiao Yunzhou put down the teacup directly, his face solemn, "You all pretend not to know the identity of this assassin Jiuxiao, and don't mention it again in the future."

"!"

"?"

Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Yin Moqiao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, were shocked again.

Wei Zheng didn't understand, and was full of worry, "Your Majesty, this is related to your safety..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Wei and Yin Moqiao looked at him with contempt.

Wei Zheng was stupid.

Is the emperor's meaning not clear?

The Diyue Cult thought this assassin was one of theirs, but he was actually the emperor's!

Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was shocked by the emperor's means today.

"No wonder your majesty knew that the Diyue Cult elder was in the teahouse. It turns out that you also set up spies in the Diyue Cult!"

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.

Ah?

"No wonder the emperor knows everything they do, even the tattoos on their backs. So that's it. The Diyue Cult actually has people from our court."

Ah.

That's really not the case.

There is only one little princess.

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly, and his ears were slightly hot. "Those Diyue Cult strongholds-"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We can send troops to encircle and suppress them after dawn. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look and see if there are any strongholds that the other party confessed to missing?"

"..."

Ah.

What the hell does he know?

Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched, and he looked at the Minister of Justice who made such a proposal with a sad look, "My dear Yin, you are no longer a three-year-old child."

Minister Yin Moqiao: "......?"

"It's time to learn to grow up and solve cases by yourself."

"!"

"Ah, it's really hard for me to do this." Xiao Yunzhou shook his head.

"If people tell others that I am more powerful than the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Supreme Court, what should I do?"

"..."
