What Shen Li didn't know was that Feng Geng of the Ministry of Justice and the other three ministers of the Ministry of Justice were dissatisfied with him being the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the four people who were not against him had formed a private alliance.
"My rule throughout the history of the dynasty is to select ministers from among the ministers. This guy has never served as the minister of justice for a day. Just relying on his relationship with the prime minister, he was parachuted into our ministry as the top leader. I, Feng, don't accept it anyway!" Feng Geng said to the three ministers. said.
"Not only are you dissatisfied, Mr. Feng, but I, Yao, are also dissatisfied! What ability can Shen Li have at such a young age? We have worked hard for the country and the people, and we have died. We never thought that in the end we would have to give up to those who are related to us." I picked peaches!" Yao Min, the Minister of Justice, said.
"Since Shen Li doesn't follow the rules, the four of us are now grasshoppers on a rope. We must unite and weigh how much this kid weighs!" Wei Cong, another minister of the Ministry of Justice, said angrily. .
"I have an idea to test Shen Li's skills. In recent days, there have been many missing cases of boys and girls in various parts of our Suzaku Empire. I have followed up on this case for a while, and I have confirmed that this case is related to southern Xinjiang. It was related to the cult. The missing boys and girls were just children from common people, and the cult was staffed by masters at the golden elixir stage. I thought, just for the children of common people, we wouldn’t break up with the cult, so I have been suppressing this case. How about we let our newly elected Master Xiao Shen personally take a dip in the muddy waters of the Southern Xinjiang cult?" Wang Xuan, the minister, said with a sneer.
"Master Wang, what a brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan! The people in the cult are vicious and vicious, and Master Xiao Shen is young and vigorous. He is like a thunderbolt, and he will definitely fight to the death!" Feng Geng gave a thumbs up and praised.
Wei Cong and Yao Min also praised Wang Xuan repeatedly.
Shen Li had been wandering around the Penal Department Yamen for a while, but there was no sign of the four ministers. Then his consciousness went out and he accidentally overheard the conversation between Feng Geng and the others.
Shen Li frowned and asked a blue-robed official:
"Do you know where the four ministers are?"
The blue-robed official said: "Back to the Master, the four ministers should be at work at this time. What are your orders?"
Shen Li said, "Go and summon the four of them to the conference hall. I'm going to hold a meeting for them."
"Yes, Lord Shangshu, I will take care of it now."
The blue-robed official saluted Shen Li respectfully and then walked away.
Shen Li was sitting in the conference hall waiting for the four people, when the Ring Spirit suddenly spoke:
"Master, the spirit beast is breaking out of its shell. You open your spiritual consciousness and I will lead you into my secret space."
"OK."
Shen Li's consciousness entered a small, empty space unique to the Ring Spirit Space. The space was very dark, and he could see that the shell of the spirit beast egg he had spent a lot of money to buy was slowly cracking.
"Coming out soon!" Shen Li said excitedly.
In just one minute, the spirit beast's eggshell had completely cracked, and a small head emerged from a crack.
"Haha, my blue and yellow griffon." Shen Li said happily.
It wasn't until the little guy completely broke open the eggshell and exposed most of its body that Shen Li could see clearly. He saw that this spiritual beast was yellow-brown with a pair of furry little horns on its head. This is the color of the little griffon. When the griffin was young, It also had horns, that was true, but when he saw that the back of this spiritual beast was bare and without wings, Shen Li was dumbfounded.
Shen Li looked at this wingless "gryphon" and sighed:
"How come the blue and yellow griffon cub has no wings? This is clearly not a griffin. The Beast Taming Hall may have given me the wrong egg! Wouldn't it have defrauded my sect points?"
"Master, don't worry, this is an extremely rare atavistic griffin that has awakened the bloodline of its ancestor Qilin. The griffin was originally the offspring of the ancient mythical beast Qilin and the lower spiritual beast. Over time, it gradually formed As for the griffin clan, unicorns do not have wings, so master, you will make a lot of money." The Ring Spirit said hurriedly.
"Ah? Returning to the ancestors? Awakening the bloodline? I made a lot of money? What I want is a flying mount, not a battle pet! Can this thing fly?" Shen Li asked.
"I'm not sure whether this little guy can fly. Ask Tang Qingshan later. Let this atavistic griffon be kept here for now. You can get it some food so it doesn't starve to death. "The Ring Spirit said.
Seeing this atavistic griffon cub that looked a bit like a deer chewing on eggshells with its naive and cute movements, Shen Li felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll go to the chamber of commerce later and buy some griffon cub rations for it," Shen Li said.
At this time, four ministers from the Ministry of Justice entered the conference hall in a hurry.
"I heard Master Shen summoned us?" Feng Geng was the first to speak.
"Yes, I just came to our Criminal Department and would like to have a brief chat with the four ministers of our Criminal Department." Shen Li stood up and greeted him.
"Master Shen, I still have some official business to attend to. If you have anything, please tell me quickly." Wei Cong said.
The implication of Wei Cong's words is "If you fart, hurry up!"
"Well, I actually have nothing to do. I'd like to waste some time for the four adults. Although I have a higher official position than you, I do have a lot of things I don't understand. I hope the four adults can help me get familiar with the business. Let's work together in the same pot in the future. To scoop up food, we must first establish unity." Shen Li said with a forced smile.
"That's natural. Lord Shen, please rest assured." Feng Geng said.
Shen Li thought to himself: "I can rest assured that you are evil. The four of you have a small meeting together to plot against me and make me confront some bullshit cult. Do you think I don't know about it?"
"Four lords, these are extraordinary times. The former emperor passed away and the whole country was mourned. The new emperor will be crowned in fifteen days and will perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. The work of our Criminal Department is the top priority. We must protect the empire well. stability, strictly investigate reactionaries, and actively fight crime. During this period, nothing can go wrong. If the four adults have any difficulties in their work, please tell me. I can still say a few words in front of the Prime Minister. "Yes." Shen Li said in an official tone.
"Master Shangshu, I have a very difficult case on my hands, which involves a cult in southern Xinjiang. I heard that you are a master of the golden elixir stage. I hope that you can personally take action." Wang Xuan stood up to edit and said respectfully.
"It's okay to say it, Mr. Wang," Shen Li said.
"The thing is like this. Recently, there have been many missing cases of boys and girls all over the country. It has been confirmed by many parties that they are related to some kind of sacrificial ritual of the southern Xinjiang cult. There are masters in the golden elixir stage in the cult. We are too ambitious and unable to solve the problem. The murderer has been brought to justice, and the parents of the missing boys and girls are extremely anxious. They shed tears every day and go to the government offices all day long to cry for help. This has affected the normal work of our criminal department in the government offices in various cities. The frequent occurrence of such cases, in It has also caused a certain amount of panic across the country, and everyone is in danger." Wang Xuan said with an embarrassed expression.
Shen Li said: "I will handle this case myself! I want to let these vicious cults have a taste of my Shen Li's youthful vigor!"
