After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the guards prepared to walk all the way to the palace.
However, not long after, I saw a group of royal guards approaching.
Cang Hong also heard the news that Lin Yiqiu was arrested, so he hurried over with his people.
At this time, he happened to bump into the guard.
"Commander Cang!"
The guard was like a savior.
When he came to Cang Hong, he bowed first and then told everything about what happened in the Criminal Department.
After hearing this, Cang Hong couldn't help but frown.
"This Huo Yongzhi Huo Shangshu, what is he thinking?"
"Commander Cang, it is difficult for your subordinates to understand. You said that His Majesty's decree has been issued. Why should they do this?"
The only explanation is that these people really have a grudge against Lin Yiqiu.
Cang Hong's expression was slightly cold.
"You go back and report this matter to His Majesty first, and then I'll go to the Criminal Department to take a look."
"Yes! Thank you, Commander Cang!"
When the guard heard this, he quickly took the people away.
Cang Hong, on the other hand, led the Jin Yiwei and rushed all the way towards the Punishment Department.
When he arrived at the place and stepped forward, he was the first to speak out.
"Excuse me, Huo Yongzhi, is Huo Shangshu here?"
He didn't even look at the chief executive who was sitting in his seat. He knew that this was just a facade and could not do anything.
Hearing this, the master was about to speak, but Cang Hong spoke again.
"Is Huo Shangshu here? If so, please come out and see Cang."
After a while, Huo Yongzhi, who heard the noise outside, slowly walked out of the house.
When he saw that it was Jin Yiwei, he was stunned.
"Commander Cang? What kind of wind brought you here? You actually came to my punishment department to look for Huo."
"Master Huo, I heard that you arrested Lin Yiqiu, the governor of the West Factory?"
Cang Hong also went straight to the topic without beating around the bush.
Huo Yongzhi smiled and nodded.
"It's true. I caught him. Does Commander Cang have any objections to this matter?"
"Evidence of guilt!"
Cang Hong uttered two words coldly.
After hearing this, Huo Yongzhi smiled even more.
"The evidence of the crime is the collapse of the Chongsheng Temple! That's why our Criminal Department arrested Lin Yiqiu!"
"Chongsheng Temple collapsed?"
Cang Hong was slightly stunned. Of course he knew about this matter, but it would be too outrageous to associate this matter with Lin Yiqiu.
"Master Huo, are you, like those students, thinking that the eunuch entered the Chongsheng Temple and aroused the sage's anger, so it collapsed?"
He asked in a cold tone.
Huo Yongzhi didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
"Commander Cang, is this still false? We ministers were all witnesses back then!"
"Before, nothing happened to the Chongsheng Temple. Since Lin Yiqiu entered, the Chongsheng Temple suddenly collapsed. Doesn't this explain it?"
"evidence!"
Regardless of the nonsense on the other side, Cang Hong still uttered two words coldly.
As a royal guard, he only cares about evidence.
Without evidence, it's all empty talk.
"Evidence? Do you need evidence to condemn the spirit of the sage? Commander Cang, you are disrespecting me, the sage of Dagan!"
Huo Yongzhi raised his finger and pointed at him.
Cang Hong's expression was emotionless.
"Master Huo, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you usually rely on this so-called sage spirit to judge guilt and innocence when handling cases?"
"If there is no evidence, you are violating Daqian law by arresting someone! Mr. Huo should arrest himself!"
"Cang Hong!"
When Huo Yongzhi heard this, he was slightly angry!
"Although you are the commander of the Jinyi Guards, your official rank is much lower than that of me, Huo!"
"How could you insult Huo like this? And let me arrest you?"
"Master Huo, isn't this what you did to Lin Yiqiu?"
Cang Hong did not retreat at all.
Huo Yongzhi sneered.
"This is different. Lin Yiqiu has aroused public outrage, and now all public opinion wants to get rid of it!"
"Commander Cang, I know that you have a close relationship with Lin Yiqiu, but I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy you about this matter."
"If there is nothing else to do, Huo will not accompany you and will see you off!"
With a wave of his hand, Huo Yongzhi said nothing more and walked straight into the house.
Cang Hong's face became colder and colder.
This Huo Yongzhi is so stubborn, it seems that he is really going to bite Lin Yiqiu to death!
As for the so-called public opinion and the so-called student petitions?
Haha! As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, how could Cang Hong not understand these things?
If it weren't for these ministers stirring up public opinion, why would those students be like this?
Speaking of which, it's just these ministers who are causing trouble.
Then, without lingering, Cang Hong turned and left.
There is no need to directly conflict with the Punishment Department. When he comes, he only needs to confirm that Lin Yiqiu is indeed in the Punishment Department.
As for the rest of the matter, he had to report it to Emperor Qian so that Emperor Qian could take action.
Even Jin Yiwei didn't give face to him. I believe Emperor Qian would be even more angry with the Punishment Department after hearing this!
This is Canghong’s purpose!
After leaving the door, Cang Hong dismissed the other imperial guards below and prepared to enter the palace in person to face the saint.
However, not long after walking, he saw a beautiful figure, accompanied by several servants, coming towards him from a distance.
Taking a closer look, Cang Hong was immediately stunned!
"Wei Wanqiu?"
The person who came was none other than Lin Yiqiu’s wife, Wei Wanqiu!
The latter also saw Cang Hong, and his eyes lit up!
"Commander Cang!"
"Miss Wei, what are you doing?"
Cang Hong said doubtfully.
Wei Wanqiu is already pregnant. Although it is not obvious yet, walking these few steps is already very tiring.
So he gasped and replied: "I heard that Lin Yiqiu was arrested, so I came to the Criminal Department to have a look! I'm so worried!"
"Commander Cang, what is going on? Why are the students on the street suddenly shouting that they want to kill Lin Yiqiu?"
"What happened to Lin Yiqiu? Is he being harmed by the Criminal Department now?"
While speaking, Wei Wanqiu was so anxious that she burst into tears.
God knows how much she was shocked when she first heard about this!
Hearing this, Cang Hong quickly explained: "Miss Wei, you don't need to panic, Lin Yiqiu is fine for the time being."
"Nothing? Why was Wuhin arrested?"
Wei Wanqiu became increasingly puzzled.
Cang Hong briefly told him about Chongsheng Temple and the attitude of the Ministry of Punishment.
After Wei Wanqiu heard this, he stamped his feet angrily!
"It's unfounded! It's really unfounded! The Chongsheng Temple collapsed, how can you pin the crime on Lin Yiqiu?"
"No! I have to go to the Criminal Department to argue!"
As he spoke, Wei Wanqiu raised his feet and was about to go over.
Cang Hong quickly stopped him!
"Miss Wei, you don't have to worry. Governor Lin will not be in danger in the Criminal Department. Do you still doubt his skills?"
With Lin Yiqiu's skill, unless he thought about it, the punishment department would not be able to hurt him at all.
In fact, it was impossible for Lin Yiqiu to be caught by the Criminal Department in the first place!
Regarding this strange point, Cang Hong didn't think long before he actually understood it.
Lin Qingye was caught intentionally to avoid trouble.
Anyway, in prison, the work of Emperor Qian was not arranged for him, and there was no need for him to investigate the death of the Minister of Rites.
Everything has nothing to do with him, he is at ease.
In short, he just wanted to be lazy.
This is one of the reasons why Cang Hong was not in a hurry at all and went to the Criminal Department to ask a few questions before leaving.
When Wei Wanqiu heard this, he suddenly slapped his head, you are right! This chapter has been completed!
