Because of Cheng Xiong's deliberate targeting before, Xiuyi Messenger was already full of anger and would not let it go if he got the chance.

Soon the Embroidered Clothes Messenger arrested Cheng Gang. At first, Cheng Gang insisted that he didn't know about it, but as we all know, he has been in close contact with the Shuangyue Courtesan these days and stayed there almost every night. Who would believe him when he said it didn't matter?

Then the messenger of embroidered clothes came up with a series of housekeeping punishments, teaching him how to be a good man in minutes.

Then Cheng Gang was "beaten into a trick" and directly admitted that he was the one who leaked the information to the assassin, so that the assassin could seize such a coincidence and enter the palace.

Zhu Xie still refused to let go, and continued to investigate. Not long after, he "found out" that Cheng Xiong was behind all this, and he had long been bribed by the assassin.

After hearing the news, Zu An was speechless. This guy was indeed ruthless. Cheng Xiong had targeted the embroidered messenger before, and he retaliated tenfold.

I don’t know why, but having such a teammate is inexplicably reassuring.

Of course, it would be quite a headache for such a guy to become an enemy.

Cheng Xiong was shocked and angry about this, but he could not intervene in the case of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, so he actively ran outside.

After all, he was an important figure in the King of Qi's party. Although the Qin brothers were very dissatisfied with what happened in Jiaofangsi that night, they could not let Zhu Xie bite the King of Qi with all his heart.

So the King of Qi's party also exerted its efforts. Soon someone at the court brought up the grievances between Cheng Xiong and the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, and allowing them to investigate could easily affect justice.

The figures in the Qi King's faction and the prince's faction in the court all cited scriptures, and they were almost ready to curse, but none of them uttered curse words, which really made people respect and admire them.

In the end, the emperor was so upset by the quarrel that he ordered the three departments of Tingwei, Sili Xiaowei and Xiuyi Envoy to examine the case together.

Tingwei is one of the Nine Qings, specializing in prisons and is the highest judicial institution in the central government. Later in Chinese history, Dali Temple was born out of Tingwei, which was equivalent to the Supreme Court in later generations.

The Sili Xiaowei also supervises all officials in the capital and maintains public security in the capital, which is equivalent to the combination of the Ministry of Public Security, the Procuratorate, and the Discipline Inspection Commission in later generations.

The Embroidered Clothes Envoy is the royal secret agency, similar to the famous Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory in history.

The three departments jointly tried the case, and the standards were unprecedentedly high.

Tingwei quickly brought Cheng Gang over. Instead of the severe torture that the embroidered messengers had given him before, they all looked kind and cheerful. They not only sent people to treat Cheng Gang's injuries, but also served him with delicious food and drinks.

Without him, Tingwei Jiang Boyang was a member of the King of Qi's party.

Soon Ting Wei's side

He overturned the sentence of the embroidered messengers and accused them of torture to extract confessions for personal revenge.

Of course, Zhu Xie said sincerely that this was a slander, and at the same time accused the other party of forming a clique for personal gain, because in his usual personal relationship with Cheng Xiong, he would bend the law for personal gain.

The two factions in the court were once again in a frenzy, and soon after, Captain Sili came to review the case.

From Tingwei's place to Sili Xiaowei's prison, Cheng Gang felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell.

During those few days in Tingwei, with various miraculous medicines and careful care, the injuries he suffered from the torture at the Embroidered Clothes Messenger were almost healed. However, when he came to Sili Xiaowei, he was tortured again when he met.

The newly scabbed wound opened again, and he cried for mercy.

After experiencing the hellish days at the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, he also understood that there was no point in gritting his teeth, and he had to speak in the end.

The difference is whether you can speak after being beaten until you can't stand it, or whether you can avoid the physical pain.

So Lieutenant Sili quickly obtained his confession. He was indeed in cahoots with the assassins and was instructed by his father.

The people of King Qi's party were shocked and angry. They must know that Lieutenant Sili was originally one of theirs. Unfortunately, some time ago, Zu An, the imperial convict at that time, was assassinated on the eve of entering the palace, so he was transferred to Guang Luxun.

The newly appointed Sili Colonel Cao Xing is the father of the crown prince's young master, Cao Hou. He is of the prince's lineage, so when he finds the opportunity this time, he will naturally kill him.

However, many of the officials at the Sili school were Murong Tong's former officials. Soon someone reported that Cao Xing was beaten when he investigated the case, and then there was another round of hype in the court.

After listening to Zu An's explanation of what happened during this period, Yun Jianyue, who had long hair reaching her hips, came to the window and looked in the direction of Jinluan Palace from a distance, with a sneer on her face: "Everyone in the court is full of benevolence and righteousness. Morality, in fact, is all for self-interest, and party disputes are so fierce that one day it will lead to catastrophe."

Zu An said: "With the invincible emperor suppressing us, what disaster can these people below do if they fight against each other?"

Yun Jianyue said meaningfully: "But the emperor will die eventually."

Zu An felt moved and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Yun Jianyue replied: "There have always been rumors that the emperor was seriously injured in the battle with the Demon Emperor in his early years and his foundation was shaken, so that the Five Decays of Heaven and Man came early. But no one knows whether it is true or not, but I fought him this time, It was determined that he was indeed injured."

"But you were almost killed by one move." Zu An couldn't help but complain.

The anger value from Yunjianyue is +444+444+444...

Yun Jianyue glared at him angrily

, why does this guy ask for beatings so much sometimes?

After a while, he said angrily: "With the emperor's cultivation level, if there were no injuries, I wouldn't have been able to run away at that time."

Zu An was a little surprised: "You are a grand master after all, and you can't even run away. Is the gap so big?"

"Why are you called Earth Immortal? To a certain extent, you are already half an immortal. We cultivators are still mortals even though we are in heaven. Naturally, there is a world of difference." Yun Jianyue's tone was somewhat helpless, and at the same time, her eyes were filled with concern for that person. The realm is full of yearning.

After a while, she came back to her senses and glanced at Zu An meaningfully: "Fortunately, your "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" cannot truly lead to immortality. Otherwise, if the emperor does not die, we people will never get ahead."

Zu An knew that she was still testing him, so he replied directly: "You can rest assured, he can't live forever with the help of my "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra"."

Of course, whether I can do it myself is another matter.

After being confirmed again, Yun Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Zu An came back to his senses. Whether the emperor died or not was not his concern. The most important issue now was Cheng Gang's case: "By the way, although Cheng Gang and his son are now considered guilty by the Embroidered Clothes Messenger and Sili Xiaowei, the court has Wei's side firmly believes that he is not guilty, and the two sides are at a stalemate. Although Cheng Xiong has been temporarily imprisoned, after all, there is still a lack of conclusive evidence."

To be honest, Cheng Xiong's series of operations this time were extremely beautiful. Almost in an instant, he made General Zuo Wei a prisoner. As the Qi King's party has great energy, they may not be able to successfully convict him in the end.

Yun Jianyue flashed a mysterious smile: "It's not easy to get conclusive evidence."

Zu An was listening with his ears pricked up, but when he saw that she was deliberately showing off, he couldn't help but became anxious: "Sister, leader, tell me quickly, are you trying to kill me?"

Seeing his anxious look, Yun Jianyue felt a little relieved. She had suffered so much from being with him these days that she couldn't even think clearly.

"Have you forgotten those people who were captured in the Holy Religion?" Yun Jianyue said, "The evidence has always been there, it just depends on whether you can use it."

Zu An felt as if a flash of lightning flashed in his mind. He clearly wanted to catch it but missed it, so he had to ask Yun Jianyue: "I hope my sister, the leader, can give me some advice."

Yun Jianyue seemed quite satisfied with his attitude, and then said: "You find a way to contact them. As long as they admit their relationship with Cheng Xiong, Cheng Xiong will definitely die."

Zu An looked at Yun Jianyue with a complicated expression. This woman was so ruthless that she would even sell her own people. Those members of the cult were destined to die as prisoners, but they had to maximize their interests before they died.
