Zhu Dongshan's words were naturally not just words; behind them, there was a river of blood flowing from those years.

"What Mr. Zhu said is true." Qin Xiao sighed: "It seems that this time the junior is greedy for merit. But now, if this case is transferred to the Ministry of Punishments, the junior's face will not matter, but the face of the Dali Temple

All face is gone."

Zhu Dongshan chuckled and said: "Dali Temple has not tried any criminal cases in so many years. If it is handed over, no one will say anything. Of course, Qin Shaoqing has already started trying the case, and the Ministry of Punishment will not interfere in it. Like me,

As he said, if Qin Shaoqing really wants to behead the culprit in this case, the Ministry of Punishment can accept it at any time."

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "Let this junior think about it, I will give it to Master Zhu!"

Qin Xiao stepped forward, opened the door, and sent Zhu Dongshan off respectfully.

Behind the flower garden in the courtyard, Wei Bi was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

He eavesdropped outside the door and heard very clearly what the two men said. As he expected, the two men were really talking about their case. Qin Xiao seemed powerless to do anything to him, but the Criminal Department seemed to be eyeing this case.

, and even considered handing over the case.

The terrible thing is that Zhu Dongshan has clearly focused on him and is convinced that he is the real culprit in the plot. Once this case is handed over to the Ministry of Justice, the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at the retreating figures of Qin Xiao and Zhu Dongshan, Wei Bi felt a chill down his back.

After returning to the house, Wei Bi couldn't calm himself down even after drinking two cups of tea. He could only feel his heart beating violently.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door, and then I heard Qin Xiao's voice saying: "Master Wei, have you gone to bed?"

Wei Bi's heart trembled, and he tried his best to calm down. He stood up and straightened his clothes. He went over to open the door and saw Qin Xiao standing outside. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Shaoqing!"

"Is there anything I did not do well in treating my subordinates?" Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for letting Mr. Wei stay here. This is my first time handling a criminal case, so I'm afraid there will be any omissions. If there is anything rude, Wei

Sir, don't worry about it. If you need anything, just ask. Sir Wei, don't worry, this case has been cleared up. Everything was done by the housekeeper in your house and has nothing to do with Sir Wei. In the past two days, the case of Wei Cheng has been decided. Wei Cheng

The adults can leave now."

Wei Bi forced a smile and said: "Master Shaoqing has a great reputation!"

"Don't disturb Sir Wei, take a rest early." Qin Xiao said with a smile.

Wei Bi raised his hand and said, "Master Qin, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and entered the house.

Wei Bi immediately poured tea for Qin Xiao, pretending to be calm and said: "I didn't expect Wei Cheng to be so heartbroken. In the final analysis, it was the official's poor training that allowed him to commit such a serious crime."

"Master Wei, there is no need to blame yourself. People's hearts are unpredictable. The most difficult thing to see through in the world is people's hearts." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "But fortunately, he submitted the complaint to Dali Temple. If it were submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, it would inevitably be

Suffering the pain of flesh and blood.”

Wei Bi remained calm, nodded slightly, and asked: "Master Qin, as far as I know, Dali Temple has rarely accepted cases in recent years. Such cases are all handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. This time

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Will this case be settled in Dali Temple?"

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.

"This official is just asking casually. If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to say anything."

Qin Xiao sighed: "Master Wei, to be honest, as soon as I took over this case, the Criminal Department came to visit and insisted on transferring this case from Dali Temple. I did not agree. But...

The Ministry of Punishment is very dissatisfied with this matter. I am worried that Lu Budang will not let this case be closed easily." It seemed that he felt that it was not appropriate to say more, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't say it anymore. I said this, but it's better.

It seems that he is dissatisfied with Lu Budang."

"Master Qin, there are so many people in Kyoto who are dissatisfied with Lu Budang." Wei Bi sneered: "The Ministry of Punishment has deprived Dali Temple of its authority. Many people privately feel that the Ministry of Punishment is too overbearing."

Qin Xiao looked like he had found a close friend, looked out the door, and then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Wei, you are a scholar, knowledgeable and reasonable. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I insist on investigating this case this time, and it's really true.

It’s not to compete with the Ministry of Punishment for power, it’s just that I’m new here and want to do something to show the saint, so as to live up to the saint’s expectations. But...!”

"But what?"

"But the Ministry of Punishment believes that Dali Temple is trying to fight for power." Qin Xiao whispered: "I'm just worried that after this case is concluded at Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment will not let it go. They will suppress Dali Temple, and eventually

The best way is to reconsider this case."

"Overturn the verdict?" Wei Bi frowned: "How do you say this, Mr. Qin?"

"If I determine that the mastermind is Wei Cheng, then the Ministry of Punishment will overturn the verdict and overturn the verdict of Dali Temple." Qin Xiao hesitated and finally said: "They will probably point the finger at Master Wei and kill him at all costs.

The crime of the main culprit is placed on Mr. Wei’s head.”

Wei Bi's face changed slightly and he sneered: "Do they still dare to wrongly accuse good people?"

"Unjustly accusing good people?" Qin Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Master Wei, do you really think that all the people who have been killed by the Ministry of Punishment are criminals with heinous crimes? How many of them are unjustly accused? You have been in Kyoto longer than me.

Many, he should know the behavior of the Ministry of Punishment clearly. With all due respect, many princes, nobles and even members of the Li family died at the hands of the Ministry of Punishment. Lord Wei was just the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple. In Lu Budang’s eyes, he was just

I’m afraid it’s not worth mentioning, but as long as I bring Mr. Wei into the Ministry of Punishment when the time comes, do you think Mr. Wei can still come out of the Ministry of Punishment safe and sound?”

Wei Bi clenched his fists, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his lips moved, but he did not speak.

"Master Wei is a smart man, and he naturally knows in his heart that the Ministry of Punishment wants to deal with you not because of any grudge against you, but because of Dali Temple." Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Only by overturning the case of Dali Temple can we attack you.

Dali Temple, whether you are the mastermind or not is not important in the eyes of the Criminal Department. What is important is what result Dali Temple will judge. No matter how I judge, they just need to reverse the case." He shook his head and said helplessly: "Originally, I

I didn't think of this before, but just now...!" At this point, he stopped talking and did not continue.

Wei Bi looked ugly and was silent for a moment before saying, "Sir, is there someone else from the Criminal Department coming to intervene in this case?"

"This...!" Qin Xiao hesitated

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Next, he finally nodded and said: "To be honest, Mr. Zhu Dongshan, the Minister of Punishment, has been to Dali Temple before. He knew my attitude and knew that I was ready to judge Mr. Wei innocent, so he immediately insisted that Mr. Wei was the real murderer. I

He told him that Wei Cheng sued Master Wei for killing his maid and killing his wife, but there was no evidence, it was empty talk, and he was just spitting blood. However, Master Zhu dismissed this and insisted that Master Wei must be the mastermind. Not only that.

, he also repeatedly said bluntly that he asked me to hand over this case to the Criminal Department. Mr. Wei, if I throw this case to the Criminal Department, they will definitely try their best to accuse you of being the mastermind, so naturally I cannot agree. "

Wei Bi just overheard the conversation between the two and knew that Qin Xiao's words were true. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin is fair and honest. I am very grateful to you."

"I have no other meaning when I tell Mr. Wei tonight. I just want to remind Mr. Wei to be careful after leaving Dali Temple." Qin Xiao frowned and clenched his fists: "The Ministry of Punishment is definitely going to attack Dali this time.

The temple took action, and it must be based on Lord Wei's case, so Lord Wei left Dali Temple unharmed. The Ministry of Punishment was afraid that it would investigate the case later. As you know, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment supervised each other. After the trial of this case

, Lu Junzhong will definitely let people review this case, and then find reasons to conduct a thorough re-investigation."

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Bi's forehead. He thought for a moment and then asked: "Master Qin, you handle the case wisely. You know that the official was wronged. I don't know... I don't know how the official should deal with this catastrophe?"

"I really have no other way." Qin Xiao shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "If I had known that taking this case would implicate Master Wei, I should have transferred the case directly to the Ministry of Punishment from the beginning. If so, Wei

Your Excellency may still be able to escape calmly, but it's too late now." He patted his thigh and said angrily: "It was my eagerness to bring things to this point, Mr. Wei, I... I really

I'm sorry for you."

"Could it be that... the court just watched Lu Junzhong wrongfully accuse a good man?" Wei Bi felt guilty. Although he rebuked the Ministry of Punishment, his voice was weak and weak: "They... they are really too domineering, and

No royal law?"

Qin Xiao lowered his voice and said: "If he was truly fair and honest, Lu Junzhong would not be as popular as he is today. Mr. Wei, the Criminal Department has countless innocent souls in its hands. The number of unjust cases they have created are more than the stars in the sky."

He shook his head and stood up and said: "That's all, let's not talk anymore. The case will be closed tomorrow. I am going to convict Wei Cheng of murdering Lian Cui and send him to death row. Of course, Mr. Wei will not be guilty and can go back to his hometown tomorrow. But what follows

Sir Wei, please make some preparations in advance."

He cupped his hands and was about to leave, but Wei Bi, as if grasping a life-saving straw, reached out and grabbed Qin Xiao's arm, and said in a panic: "Master Qin, please go slowly, we... we still think of a way to deal with the Criminal Department."

Seeing Qin Xiao frowning, he said hurriedly: "Master Qin, if the Ministry of Punishment really wants to overturn the case and convict Xianguan, not only Xianguan will be wronged, but your Dali Temple will also be affected. With all due respect, we are sitting on the same page now.

If a ship is damaged, both will be damaged, so we must not let the Punishment Department succeed."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Does Master Wei have any good way to reverse the situation? I really don't know how to deal with it. I just arrived at Dali Temple. If this case is overturned by the Ministry of Punishment, the saint will definitely think that I am stupid and incompetent.
