When Liu Yijin heard the news that was constantly gathering, he looked very unhappy.
Sure enough, Zhang Bing died, Lin Chong died, and even Chun Xia and several Maitreya Buddhists who were imprisoned died.
This news hit him hard, especially Lin Chong's death, which filled him with resentment!
"Why didn't he die sooner or later, but he was suddenly killed when I was taking Lin Chong into prison?"
"How many people in the Inspectorate are from Maitreya Buddhism!"
Liu Yijin threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground angrily: "Check for me, check everyone in the Supervision Department!"
A group of wolf guards hurriedly walked out, and after a while, a large number of guard regiments surrounded the entire Supervision Department.
"Sir!" Yuan Shuo stepped forward and whispered a few words. Liu Yijin took a deep breath: "I understand."
Mengyao said with concern: "Sir, what happened?"
"Your Majesty already knows about the Supervision Department, and the Prime Minister and Prince Su are already on their way."
Mengyao frowned: "I didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly."
Liu Yijin let out a sigh of relief: "I'll greet them both, you go and investigate."
After Liu Yijin left, Mengyao looked at Lan Yuer, who was bowing her head in thought, and said, "Sister, do you have any good ideas?"
"Large-scale searches are not a simple matter. If we check them one by one, when we check everyone, it will take almost a month."
Mengyao also frowned: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"The best way is to check it out at once, but this requires the adults' nod."
Mengyao suddenly remembered those pills that Lan Yuer had tinkered with when she was fine, and suddenly a clever idea came to her mind: "Sister, how about we use the pills?"
Lan Yuer was stunned: "Is this appropriate?"
"If there's anything inappropriate, just give each person a pill when the time comes."
The two of them did what they said and called Yuan Shuo, Erzhuzi and Gouzi directly.
Although these three people have low status within the Inspectorate, they are real confidants.
When Liu Yijin was sitting in the office and was at a loss to think about what to do next, he saw people in the office walking out one after another. I couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you doing here?"
"Sir, Miss Mengyao is distributing medicine."
"Distribute pills?" Liu Yijin walked out in confusion and saw Mengyao and Lan Yu'er distributing pills to people one by one.
Liu Yijin couldn't help but get angry and walked up quickly: "What are you doing?"
Mengyao whispered the plan in a low voice, and Liu Yijin frowned: "Is this appropriate?"
"Sir, this is the most appropriate plan. There is nothing better than this."
Although Liu Yijin also knew that this method was the most appropriate, it was also an obvious distrust of people, and it was inevitable that there would be different opinions within the Supervision Department.
However, this kind of thing is inevitable. Compared with the ability to detect Maitreya Buddhism, the different voices within the Inspectorate can be ignored.
"Sir, I know this kind of thing is not appropriate, but this is the most effective way at the moment."
Liu Yijin hesitated for a moment: "It's just a pill. What's the special purpose of it?"
Lan Yu'er on the side smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. This pill is my latest development. As long as everyone takes it and when the effect of the medicine takes effect, they will give each silver needle one by one, and they will be able to ask who is Maitreya." Buddhist people."
"real?"
Liu Yijin was a little doubtful.
Lan Yuer said confidently: "Don't worry, this matter is absolutely reliable!"
Seeing the two women's vows, Liu Yijin had no choice but to give up. After all, there was no other way.
While the Supervision Department was conducting intensive investigations, everyone in the palace started to quarrel.
The empress sat behind the dragon case, looking calmly at the two sides arguing below.
Prime Minister Liu Yong looked gloomy: "This Liu Yijin is so audacious! He doesn't even listen to the orders of His Majesty and the Queen Mother!"
Jin Bing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked even more sad and angry: "Not only did he not listen, this guy actually dared to lead troops privately to surround Xinglong Street. Xinglong Street was the place where the late emperor personally consecrated the martial arts hall when he was still alive."
"Those who open martial arts schools there are all the leaders of our Daqian Dynasty!"
"And I also heard that he secretly arrested Lin Chong. Although Lin Chong was expelled from the court by the late emperor, he opened a martial arts school through his own efforts, and many of the people he taught have joined the army. This way He is a person who has contributed to the Daqian Dynasty, how can such a person be a person of Maitreya Buddhism!"
The more Jin Bing spoke, the angrier he became. He turned around and looked at the empress: "Your Majesty, this person is so audacious and lawless!"
Xue Tao from the Ministry of Rites and senior officials from the Ministry of Works even scolded Liu Yijin angrily, implying that it would not be enough to bring peace to the world if this guy is not brought to justice.
On the other side, King Su's faction stood quietly watching the performance of the prime minister and others.
"Prince Su, don't you care about this matter? You made great contributions when Xinglong Street was built!" Seeing that Prince Su had been silent, Liu Yong simply started the war.
Xia Kai, the Minister of Household Affairs next to King Su, frowned slightly and quietly pulled King Su who was about to speak: "Your Majesty, it's best that we don't get involved in this matter."
King Su glanced at Xia Kai and fell silent again as soon as the words came to his lips.
Jin Bing saw Xia Kai speak, and the flames of war immediately started: "Master Xia, what do you mean? Do you think what Liu Yijin did is right?"
Xia Kai said coldly: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and all matters in Xinglong Street are not under my control."
Xia Kai's words made Jin Bing's tone pause, and he couldn't help but snorted: "What, do you think that it's not a matter that belongs to the Ministry of Finance, so you can just ignore it?"
"Do you think this matter is not enough to shake the foundation of the country? This is disrespectful to the late emperor!"
Xia Kai glanced at Jin Bing indifferently, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Yao Yuan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said coldly: "Master Jin, this matter is Liu Yijin's personal behavior. Besides, the Supervision Department has always been independent from the three departments. Now the Criminal Department is also under the supervision of the Supervision Department. If you have any objections, you can go Talk to Liu Yijin face to face, why bother shouting in the court?"
Gao Ju, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help but sneered: "Why, when did you, the Minister of the Ministry of War, speak up for Liu Yijin?"
Yao Yuan snorted: "I think you are the ones who yell and scream in the court. If it were in front of Liu Yijin, you probably wouldn't even dare to fart!"
Xue Tao, the Minister of Rites, pointed at Yao Yuan's nose: "In front of His Majesty and among your colleagues, you are so ungrateful. You simply ignore the etiquette in front of the palace!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Liu Yong coughed lightly: "Everyone!"
"I thought Liu Yijin was fine and conscientious before, but Xinglong Street is such a sensitive place, and he actually broke in directly, and completely ignored the reputation of the late emperor. If this matter is not explained to the world, I am afraid that our royal family will All face will be lost!"
"Yes, and this guy even beat up the eunuch next to the Queen Mother. It's so lawless!"
While everyone was arguing, they looked at the empress's expression. What surprised them was that the empress didn't even react at all.
Gong Qingqiu was a princess, and she shouldn't have appeared in the court, but at this time she was hiding on the screen behind the empress, chatting with the empress without saying a word.
"Sister, you don't know how much Liu Yijin loves his wife. This is part of the reason why he led the wolf guards to seal down all the martial arts schools on Xinglong Street."
"And this guy also arrested many Maitreya Buddhist people in the city."
The empress listened with interest: "Then what is he doing now?"
