Huang Lu immediately hit back: "On the day Yi'er was assassinated, Pei Ji was in Xinghuafang. So many pairs of eyes saw it. Who else could it be if it wasn't him?"

The Minister of Civil Affairs laughed sarcastically: "Master Huang, if you want to frame yourself, you have to find a better reason. Without real evidence, you dare to talk nonsense in the court. What are your intentions?"

"You are so slanderous! Do you dare to let the Ministry of Justice investigate how many evil things this chief minister has done!" Huang Lu refused to give in at all.

The people in Pei's party were naturally not vegetarians, and they immediately fought back. The two parties were quarreling fiercely.

In the end, Pei Ji felt annoyed and stopped him: "Okay!"

Then he aimed his eyes at Huang Lu and smiled casually: "Master Huang, aren't all of your aristocratic families known for their cleanliness and elegance? Why are you starting to be so naughty now?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in Pei's party straightened their backs. Sure enough, the chief minister still had to take action.

Huang Lu had nothing to say, so he could only encourage the noble families to kneel down together: "I beg the Queen to investigate this matter strictly!"

Wei Yunqing was also in a dilemma, neither of the two parties could offend.

Pei Ji spoke at this moment: "Since Mr. Huang doubts me, I have to clear my name. Queen, please send someone from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate. You can investigate as you like. Anyway, the one who cleans me will be cleansed himself."

When the people in the Pei Party heard this, they were all shocked. What happened to the Chief Assistant? He actually asked the Ministry of Punishment to review it. The Ministry of Punishment was all from the other camp.

"But I have a request. If it is found that I am the murderer, I will accept the punishment. But if it is found that he is not the murderer, I will ask Mr. Huang to resign and apologize."

Such a commotion made it difficult for Huang Lu to get off the tiger, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
