With the help of Huo Zhezi's light, everyone could see Bai Ying clearly.
It turns out that this person is Amin from the Jurchen sect who is responsible for receiving Di Xue and others!
"Why are you pretending to be a ghost here?"
After Di Xue asked Amin, she cried and knelt on the ground: "Master Di, I want to redress my injustice!"
It turns out that Amin's real name is Yan Min, and she is the daughter of Yan Tingzhong, the former Minister of Punishment. Twenty years ago, she was only six or seven years old.
Although Yan Tingzhong is the Minister of Punishment, his salary is not high in Yuanjing, and he has been a commoner for several generations.
So she could only live a simple life in Yuanjing, and saved the money for Yan Min and her mother to buy a house in the suburbs of Dingbei.
Yan Min's life as a child was relatively happy until twenty years ago.
At that time, she went to play in the street and saw that the Jurchen sect was recruiting disciples, so she wanted to give it a try.
But the Jurchen sect leader saw that she did not look like a child from a poor family, so he did not accept her.
Yan Min didn't give up and secretly followed the Jurchen sect. He didn't know how long he followed as the sky gradually darkened.
Only then did she remember to go home.
But when she walked to a place that was still some distance away from her home, she saw from a distance that the front door of her home was full of people, and there were many people in armor.
Yan Min saw her mother being tied up and put into the prison van. She cried and wanted to find her mother, but someone hugged her from behind and covered her mouth tightly.
It was precisely because of the man's actions that she survived.
Although Yan Min didn't know why this happened, she had a vague feeling that her parents would never come back.
The man who rescued her took her to the Jurchen Sect. The man spoke a lot to the leader of the Jurchen Sect, and Yan Min was left behind.
The head of the Jurchen sect took care of her personally, and then the man told Yan Min what happened.
Her father, Yan Tingzhong, and others were killed due to dereliction of duty, and the three clans were implicated. The man was the jailer guarding his father and others.
Yan Tingzhong believes that there is no problem with the deployment of the Ministry of Punishment, and there should not be any incidents where all files are stolen.
But he had already lost the late emperor's trust, and the daily punishment left him unable to defend himself.
So Yan Tingzhong and all the officials involved used prison uniforms to leave letters of love.
One by one, they wrote down everything that happened on the day of the crime and the days before it, hoping that one day the truth would be made public.
The person who wrote today was beheaded, and the next person will continue writing.
Before Yan Tingzhong was killed, he handed the prison uniform, which was densely covered with writing, to the jailer.
The jailer couldn't bear it and agreed to bring the prison uniform to his descendants.
Dingbei was the closest, so the jailer came first. Perhaps God couldn't bear it and asked him to save Yan Min.
Yan Min lost everything that night, but she believed that it was impossible for her father to slack off on his responsibilities.
So as she grew up, she made up a story about the daughter of the Yan family and the Yan family, hiding the mystery in it.
She hopes day after day that someone can untie her and help her father clear his grievances.
It wasn't until she saw Di Xue that she understood the injustice in the song, that she felt that her father's case might turn around.
So she told a story to attract Di Xue and others to come. Every step Di Xue took, Yan Min felt mixed emotions in her heart.
In the end, when Di Xue told the story of the injustice of the eighteen people in the Ministry of Justice, she could no longer control her emotions, and all her years of sadness and incomprehension broke out. This was the first time she cried out after learning about her father.
Di Xue couldn't calm down as she listened to Yan Min's story.
"Master Di, this is the love letter written by my father and others back then. Due to the age, the handwriting is a bit blurry, so I also copied a copy."
Di Xue took the love letter from Yan Min's hand and looked at the blood stains and dense handwriting on her clothes. The weight in her hand was very heavy.
After reading it, Di Xue used his own understanding to tell everyone what happened twenty years ago.
In the thirty-second year of Renwu, Emperor Renwu was nearly sixty years old, and many things were beyond his ability.
So after he lost his eldest son who was established as the prince, he became particularly concerned about his grandson Chu Yun, which in disguise filled up Chu Yun's childhood without a father.
It's just that Emperor Renwu wanted to remove all obstacles for Chu Yun's succession, and he couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.
The government and the public were even more cautious, but at this moment, Chu Yun's succession caused controversy.
The late wife of the former prince committed suicide and left a letter in blood, claiming that the biological mother of Chu Yun's half-brother Chu Xun was also the prince's concubine Lu.
Chu Xun, who was originally a commoner and had no chance of becoming the emperor, suddenly sparked discussion overnight.
According to the blood book, Madam Wan and the Crown Princess gave birth to a child together, and the child she gave birth to was a daughter, so she bribed Po Wen to exchange for the Crown Princess's son.
But the girl died not long after she was born, which has always been a pain in the heart of the princess.
However, this incident made Chu Yun's succession to a certain extent less justified.
However, Emperor Renwu said that he had caught the murderer in the palace. This person was the person who killed Mrs. Wan and forced her to write a blood letter.
The murderer had evil intentions and tried to shake the foundation of the Soochow Kingdom. Emperor Renwu sent him to the Ministry of Punishment and ordered him to be executed after three days.
So two days before the theft of the Ministry of Justice, Li Yong took Chu Xun to the Ministry of Justice to meet the murderer of his mother.
Chu Xun felt as if he had lost his soul at that time. He was taken by Li Yong to visit the Ministry of Punishment and then left.
Chu Xun's life experience once became a point of discussion among the people, but four days later, an even more sensational thing happened.
The punishment department was stolen!
On the night of the incident, only those on duty were left in the Criminal Department.
Yan Tingzhong, the Minister of Punishment, is interrogating the murderer of Mrs. Wan in the interrogation room.
But I heard someone shouting that there was a fire in the front hall of the Criminal Department.
So everyone in the Criminal Department hurried to the front hall to put out the fire, but Yan Tingzhong was worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the Criminal Department.
So I hurried back to the backyard and heard strange noises in the room where the files were kept.
He quickly went over to check and unlocked the room door.
Then they opened the door and saw a scene that they couldn't figure out before they died.
All the files in the house disappeared, and the whole room was empty.
The time when everyone in the Punishment Department was transferred was less than half a stick of incense between the time they came to check.
What method was used to make thousands of files disappear?
Everyone in the Punishment Department couldn't figure it out after all.
Then came Emperor Renwu's wrath, and the Xingbu and others were sentenced to death.
After Di Xue finished speaking roughly, he looked at the neat 18 names at the end of the love letter.
Maybe the emperor wanted to re-investigate the case, but even if Chu Yun didn't want to investigate, Di Xue already knew about it now and would not sit idly by.
So Di Xue accepted the matter and took away the love letter and Yan Min's copy.
There are many details, and the writing habits of the eighteen people are different from what they see, so Di Xue still needs time to sort out the details.
However, Di Xue was also very curious as to how the file disappeared within half a stick of incense!
"Did the fire just spread from the east to the west?" Zhou Huai asked.
Di Xue nodded: "I'm afraid so, but I'm even more curious, what's the purpose of stealing the Ministry of Punishment files? What's the use of these files?"
