"Bring the Minister of Rites here." Li Yi turned his head and said to the Yamen servant.
Someone set up the table, and Li Yi drank a large bowl of tea. It was a bit astringent, but quite refreshing.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the Minister of Rites was sent over from one side to the other.
His first stop was not the Ministry of Punishment. Li Yi had brought people from Dongwei. It was said that they were not very cooperative, so they were beaten with blood.
"Help Mr. Lu sit down, be gentle with your movements, and don't touch other people's wounds."
"The Ministry of Justice is simple and there is nothing to entertain. Don't dislike it, Minister Lu." Li Yi pushed a bowl of tea in front of the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites looked at the man who was nearly fifty. He was very thin. Just by looking at his face, he might have thought that he was someone who concentrated on learning.
"I have already explained everything that needs to be explained," said the Minister of Rites in a hoarse voice.
"It's not a trial. It's a long night and Minister Lu can't sleep even if he wants to come. Let's make tea and chat." Li Yi's posture was casual.
The Minister of Rites looked at him but said nothing.
"Go down and find a place to rest." Li Yi screened away the surrounding government officials.
After waiting quietly for a while, Li Yi took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and in front of the Minister of Rites, Li Yi sprinkled the medicine powder into his tea bowl.
Smashing the medicine bottle on the table, Li Yi clenched his fists and trembled, "My wife went out today and hasn't returned yet. They asked me to try to drink this medicine into you."
"It's good for everyone."
Li Yi suddenly raised his eyes, his lips trembling, "I, I can only do this, you, just drink."
"Secretary Minister, what are you talking about?" The Minister of Rites stared at him, his voice rising a little higher.
Li Yi's eyes flashed crazily, and finally revealed a ruthless expression. With trembling hands, he picked up the bowl of tea and approached the Minister of Rites.
Pinch his mouth open and drink it down.
"Sir, someone from Dongwei is here, saying..."
The officer who came to report saw this scene and his voice suddenly stopped.
Li Yi, on the other hand, was frightened and dropped the tea bowl in his hand to the ground. The light green liquid was flowing on the ground, which was particularly conspicuous.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Li Yi looked panicked and looked at the Minister of Rites for help.
The Minister of Rites' eyes exchanged light and dark. Seeing that the Yamen servant was retreating step by step and about to run out, he lunged forward and rushed towards him.
Then, he asked the yamen servant to knock him unconscious.
"Sir." The officer stood up from the ground.
"The show is very good." Li Yi praised, "Let's go and take someone with you to the East Wei Division. The next show will be even more exciting."
How could the Minister of Rites handle such a big case?
There is definitely a big boss here.
The Minister of Rites was woken up by a basin of cold water. Thinking of what happened before he fainted, he looked stern.
What you see is no longer the Criminal Department, this is the Eastern Wei Department!
The Minister of Rites' pupils narrowed slightly.
What happened after he was knocked unconscious by the Yamen servant? Si Jian didn't deal with the person?
Why is he still alive and brought to the Eastern Wei Division?
The Minister of Rites' mind was spinning wildly, thinking of countermeasures, and he whipped his thoughts away.
"Shilang Lu, you are really surprising." Yin Ding said with a cold face, "I almost fooled you."
"Who are you looking for, Si Jian?" Yin Ding sneered, "Even that weak scholar wanted to kill someone and silence him. He just slapped him and he fainted."
"It's not good to look for anyone, so I turned to him."
"Incompetent bungler."
"Bring this person up and show him to our Minister Lu."
As Yin Ding finished speaking, Li Yi was dragged up. His hair was disheveled, his body was covered in blood, and his head was tilted. If his chest hadn't been heaving, people would have thought he was dead.
"Tie it up."
Yin Ding waved his hand.
Dongwei immediately tied Li Yi up on the shelf.
"Shilang Lu, do you want to recruit them yourself, or do you want us to do it?"
"What did the other party have to do with you to make you grit your teeth so tightly?"
"not talking?"
"Bring on the honey and get a jar of ants." Yin Ding folded his hands, looking very leisurely.
"You must cooperate obediently and reveal the person behind you. The Emperor is merciful and may not be too tired for the female family members."
"But if you remain stubborn, none of those people will survive."
"Shilang Lu, you need to think carefully."
No matter what Ren Yin Ding said, the Minister of Rites did not say a word.
And this also exhausted Yin Ding's patience. This was a tough guy, and small tricks were useless against tough guys.
Yin Ding lowered his hand.
Dongwei immediately tore open the coat of the Minister of Rites, applied honey to his wounds, and poured the ants out of the jar.
As time passed, the frame holding the Minister of Rites shook violently, and roars came from his mouth.
However, he still had no intention of begging for mercy.
"My lord, I fainted."
Yin Ding frowned and waved his hand to let Li Yi be untied.
"Master Si, is there anything you can do?"
"You Dongwei are good at interrogating you. I have no experience here." Li Yi moved his wrists.
"I shouldn't need to appear next. If you ask, please let me know."
"It's late at night, so I won't disturb you any more."
Li Yi asked someone to help him out.
Yin Ding looked at his figure and lowered his eyes. This plan was thought up by Li Yi to test whether the Minister of Rites was really carrying it for others, and in fact, it was indeed the case.
This person has a very smart mind.
"Master Si, at this point, you still have to take care of your body."
After leaving Dongwei Division, on the way back, Li Yi bumped into Zhu Xianzhi. Listening to the other person's caring words, Li Yi smiled gently, "I'm back now, I wish Ducha Si to take care of his health."
Zhu Xianzhi nodded with a smile and rode away.
In the past few days, intentionally or unintentionally, Zhu Xianzhi had met Li Yi four or five times, but he didn't say much, just conveying goodwill.
Li Yi leaned against the carriage. What Zhu Xianzhi is best at is lowering your defenses, and finally stabs you with the knife mercilessly.
Accurate and ruthless.
There were no stars tonight, and the night was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. Li Yi didn't know what time it was, but it was definitely not dawn.
Huanji lit the light for him and led him all the way into the study.
Without disturbing anyone, Li Yi washed away the blood on his body and began to read at night by the lamp. He wanted to kill all the scholars in the world!
Of course, this is just a joke, it is impossible to read at night.
Taking out the character information from the drawer, Li Yi drew a context diagram.
Judging from the officials currently under investigation, both the left and right ministers are extremely suspicious.
Only at their level can the Minister of Rites dare not let go.
Lying back, Li Yi lit the table. The Zuo Xiang was a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. He had done many more things for the old man than Ducha Si.
It would be a pity not to drag him down with such a good opportunity.
However, how to operate it requires careful thinking.
Looking at the whitening sky, Li Yi pinched his temples. If he wasn't careful, he would stay up all night.
After washing his face, he asked Huanji to go to the kitchen to get two big cakes. Li Yi ate them as he walked. If there was any progress with the emperor, Dongwei would definitely report it immediately.
But Dongwei's report does not mean that he can not report it. He must have a good attitude.
No emperor likes arrogant ministers. Now is the time for Li Yi to express himself.
