"Wei Chen is terrified!"
"I ask you, when Eunuch Li was assassinated that night, why were you at the Criminal Department Yamen, and why were there no guards patrolling in front of Eunuch Li's house for an hour last night?"
"Wei Chen was about to go to the Ministry of Punishment when he received news that Eunuch Li had been assassinated."
Qin Yushuang frowned when he heard this and asked coldly: "You mean you are going to investigate the assassin?"
The Minister of Punishment nodded and said, "Not bad."
Qin Yushuang's face became increasingly gloomy: "Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course Wei Chen does!"
The Minister of Punishment calmed down.
"Your Majesty, this memorial from me was drafted last night and submitted to Your Majesty this morning. If it is false, it should have been found out long ago."
Qin Yushuang nodded: "That makes sense."
The Minister of Punishment breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance. Otherwise, he might really be in trouble today.
At this time, Zhao Yuanba suddenly said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty must not be careless!"
Qin Yushuang snorted coldly and said: "Zhao Aiqing, you know this matter best. I am just asking Mr. Wu a few questions now. What qualifications do you have to interrupt?"
Qin Yushuang stared at Zhao Yuanba with a cold gaze.
"Wei Chen..."
Zhao Yuanba's throat rolled several times, but he still couldn't find a reason to refute.
He could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, you must be careful about everything. I think..."
"Shut up!"
Qin Yushuang roared angrily and glared at Zhao Yuanba fiercely.
"Zhao Aiqing, don't worry about this matter, I will handle it myself!"
A hint of cruelty flashed across Zhao Yuanba's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I know that you are dedicated to serving the country, but..."
He took a deep breath and continued to persuade: "Wei Chen believes that this matter must be investigated as soon as possible to avoid leaving hidden dangers."
Li Yang, who was standing next to Qin Yushuang, smiled slightly. He was about to appear next.
"Hey, Marshal Zhao means that our family has found someone to pretend to be here to frame you and the Minister of Punishment?"
Zhao Yuanba suddenly turned around and stared at Li Yang: "How presumptuous!"
"Who do you think you are, worthy of talking to our family?"
Li Yang was extremely arrogant.
He raised his chest and raised his head, looking at Zhao Yuanba below with great arrogance.
Zhao Yuanba was furious: "You are just a castrate, how dare you insult a humble minister like this? Believe it or not, I will kill you immediately!"
"you dare!"
Li Yang shouted coldly, showing no fear.
Zhao Yuanba's expression turned ferocious.
He clenched his fist fiercely: "Come on! Drag him out and kill him with a stick!"
"Zhao Yuanba, you are brave!"
Li Yang shouted: "You actually dare to kill the nobles in the palace without permission! You are rebelling! What do you want to do? Could it be that you are planning to kill the king and usurp the throne?"
Zhao Yuanba gritted his teeth and said: "You castrated dog, stop talking nonsense and drag it out quickly!"
Soon, soldiers rushed in, picked up Li Yang and walked out.
"presumptuous!"
Qin Yushuang slapped the table and stood up.
She angrily scolded Zhao Yuanba: "You are simply lawless!"
Zhao Yuanba scratched his neck and shouted: "Your Majesty, this castrated dog slandered Wei Chen, and his crime is unpardonable. If it weren't for Your Majesty being here, Wei Chen would like to kill him right now to vent his anger!"
Qin Yushuang was furious and said angrily: "Are you forcing me?"
Zhao Yuanba snorted coldly. He knew that he couldn't be kind today, so he might as well resist!
"I don't dare, but Your Majesty, you listened to a eunuch and wanted to kill me and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments. I don't want to accept it!"
"In order to stop this castrated dog from using sweet words to confuse the Holy One, today I will act on behalf of Heaven and kill this person who is causing harm to the country!"
Qin Yushuang's expression turned cold instantly: "What a man of justice, Zhao Aiqing is really upright and righteous!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare! Wei Chen only hopes that your majesty can distinguish right from wrong and not be blinded by villains!"
Qin Yushuang looked at him, with strong disappointment in her eyes: "Okay, okay, Zhao Yuanba, you are really capable!"
Qin Yushuang turned to look at the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment screamed inwardly that it was terrible.
It’s over!
Qin Yushuang must think that she is a comrade.
He hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was also instigated by a traitor."
"Instigation?"
As soon as these two words came out, the entire court fell silent. Even Zhao Yuanba, who looked furious, froze on the spot, looking at the Minister of Punishment who was also in a daze in disbelief.
"It's over."
These two words appeared in everyone's mind.
"You said instigating, then tell me who is instigating you and who is instigating you to do what!"
Under the dragon's power, the Minister of Punishment was so frightened that his face turned pale.
But even so, he still held on and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Wei Chen has never colluded with anyone, let alone done anything detrimental to the royal family."
"Oh? Then why did you say the word instigation just now!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare."
"Then tell me, why should I believe that you are telling the truth?"
"this……"
The Minister of Punishment hesitated for a long time and finally lowered his head.
"Weichen...Weichen doesn't dare!"
"You are deceiving the emperor and disrespecting your superiors. According to the law, you will implicate the nine clans and kill them all!"
Qin Yushuang narrowed her eyes and exuded a murderous aura.
The Minister of Punishment was so horrified that he collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Zhao Yuanba was shocked.
This time he was negligent. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so decisive!
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. If you kill a third-grade official, it will definitely cause an uproar. At that time, I will be worried..."
"enough!"
Qin Yushuang scolded him coldly.
Her eyes were cold: "Zhao Yuanba, I miss you for your outstanding achievements, so I will spare your life, but I will not allow you to shelter the traitor again!"
"There is insufficient evidence this time. I will spare your life. Please don't get involved in any trouble again."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yuanba was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that today's incident would pass so easily.
"Okay, now that the case has been revealed, let's withdraw from the court."
Qin Yushuang waved her hand to signal everyone to leave.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this, I said, I said, it's Zhao Yuanba, the minor minister he ordered!"
Just when Qin Yushuang stood up from the dragon chair and was about to leave, the shrill voice of the Minister of Punishment came from above the court hall.
Turning his head to look, he saw that his eyes were blood red now, like a trapped animal.
Qin Yushuang frowned and said displeasedly: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, what did you say?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to confess! It was Zhao Yuanba who instructed the ministers to murder Eunuch Li! And, more importantly, it was he who assigned the ministers to mobilize the guards in the palace!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhao Yuanba cursed loudly and wanted to tear open the mouth of the Minister of Justice.
The Minister of Punishment ignored him and cried: "Your Majesty, I am just an accomplice in this matter. The principal culprit is Zhao Yuanba, Zhao Yuanba!"
"You bastard, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Yuanba drew his sword and pointed it at him, his murderous intention revealed.
