Two days later, Nangong Yuanyi went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice for a tour. The officials in the Yamen looked like they had seen a ghost. Everyone was cautious, fearing that if they did something wrong or not well, they would offend this person. If Lord Yama is unhappy, they will all suffer.
He brought down the Lin clan, killed Huo Guojiu and other cancers, heard that the corruption case of the Xu clan in Jincheng was also related to him, and destroyed the Tianlang Kingdom...
Nangong Yuanyi's reputation has spread throughout the world. After everyone heard about his deeds, the people praised him full of praise, but people in the official circles respectfully called him "The Smiling Tiger Judge".
It means that when King Nan smiles at you, you must not be too happy.
Just because he laughs doesn't mean you did the right thing. It's probably because you did something outrageous and he's going to take a stab at you.
The worst thing is to be uprooted and even implicate the nine tribes, so don't do bad things and get caught by him.
And since His Highness Prince Nan arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment have become more active in their work.
Nangong Yuanyi actually didn't want to be an official, but only if he became an official could he do more things, such as revising the laws of the Northern Dynasties, etc. He needed the status of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
After Nangong Yuanyi came back from the Yamen, he also went directly back to An Mansion.
The palace was quiet for two days. There was no bad news about the Queen Mother, but there was news that something happened to the Queen.
So, Nangong Heng took Guan Yunqiao straight to the Anping Marquis Mansion.
At this time, Nangong Heng's face was full of anxiety, and he said urgently: "Uncle Nan Wang, you are the most cunning. Save my mother, how could she harm the Queen Mother? She has no enmity with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother She is crazy, and she went to harm the Queen Mother. My mother is not stupid. If she were, I would be stupid..."
An Xiyue quickly poured a cup of tea for Nangong Heng and glanced at Nangong Yuanyi. She was almost amused by Nangong Heng. He was quite stupid. Meeting a son like Nangong Heng made the queen really tired.
An Xiyue said: "King Chu, don't panic. Drink some tea and speak slowly." He couldn't understand what was said at all.
Nangong Yuanyi snatched the tea from her hand and said deliberately: "Who is so scheming? I usually ask you to read more books, but you said you only like to drink flower wine, and you only have eyes for beauties."
Princess Chu looked at An Xiyue with embarrassment on her face, "Your Majesty means that Uncle Wang, you are resourceful, strategizing, clever, and extremely smart..."
"Stop." Nangong Yuanyi stopped him: "What happened?"
So Guan Yunqiao told the whole story again.
They also roughly understood that the Queen Mother had always said that she saw ghosts and became crazy, but in fact she was harmed by others.
Coincidentally, the man who was pretending to be a ghost to scare the Queen Mother was hiding in the Queen's palace. Now he was suddenly discovered, so the Queen suffered.
Guan Yunqiao added: "That man is really like what the Queen Mother said when she was crazy. He has no legs, no eyes, and his tongue has been cut off. He is as skinny as wood and very scary. He seems to be a real ghost."
An Xiyue also frowned when he heard this, and continued: "So the murderer who harmed the Queen Mother is the Queen, and the evidence is conclusive."
"Yes, because of this, the Queen Mother was regarded as the murderer of the Queen Mother." Nangong Heng and Guan Yunqiao nodded at the same time.
They all said in unison: "The Queen Mother will never murder the Queen Mother, so we are here to ask Uncle Nan Wang for some advice to save the Queen Mother."
Nangong Yuanyi also asked: "Have the people from the Prince's Mansion been in the palace these two days? Has anyone seen that "ghost"?"
He didn't believe that there really were ghosts in the world, he was just afraid that someone was pretending to be a ghost.
