Soon, runners from the Ministry of Justice went to various government offices with talismans.

In full view of the public, several assistant ministers were "invited" to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

Qin Xu was sitting in the lobby, and the bailiffs stood outside after reporting back.

"Everyone, take a seat."

"Master Qin, I wonder why you invited us here?"

"Yes, we have nothing to do with the assassination of the Ninth Prince."

"We have no experience in this matter. Isn't it a bit hasty to invite us here with such fanfare?"

"What Minister Liu said makes sense. Many things in the government offices are placed on our shoulders. It's not appropriate for you to do this."

Several monks at the level of assistant ministers sat down naturally.

First, they really had nothing to do with the assassination of the prince.

Second, these people are the main force working in various government offices and are department deputies at the executive level.

Third, they have their own tolerance. They don’t care about such a small matter after experiencing the ups and downs of officialdom.

Although I feel this way, I still have to apply pressure.

Dissatisfaction with Qin Xu should be expressed.

After Qin Xu served the tea, he spoke with a smile.

"Everyone, Qin has no choice but to do this. This matter is now on my shoulders."

"Several criminals revealed several names during the interrogation. I have no choice but to invite you all to come here."

"Excuse me, excuse me, please rest here for a while and go through the formalities."

Several assistant ministers nodded, but secretly cursed the imprisoned subordinates in their hearts.

It's fucking useless.

He must have been unable to hold it in any longer, so he mentioned a few of his superiors at random.

I just think I'm easy to bully.

I also blame Qin Xu. Although he has some knowledge and knows some rules, they are not many.

After all, they were asked to leave in public by the runners of the Ministry of Justice. Even if it was just a formality, it was embarrassing.

Several assistant ministers gave Qin Xu a sinister look.

Just wait for you to fall into my hands and then I will give you a good beating.

The scene fell silent.

Either they are in a trance, or they close their eyes and meditate.

Qin Xu was also happy about this, as it avoided a lot of noise. It seemed that the quality of officials in this dynasty was still very good.

Before these people came, he had ordered the inspector and some yamen runners to arrest all the subordinates who were close to these people.

It is definitely too late to investigate.

Direct memory recovery technique.

If they are all very loyal and righteous, then we will send another wave of them down.

There will always be monks who can't endure.

Moreover, he taught some little tricks, such as sealing the meridians directly, finding some Jindan criminals sentenced to death for them, watching the execution, and digging out the Jindan instead of beheading them.

This is extremely lethal to the monks.

Those criminals sentenced to death were also cursing. Most of these people had committed serious crimes, or were thieves and bandits.

I thought I could face death calmly.

As a result, because of Qin Xu, not only was the death penalty brought forward, but the method of execution was also changed.

Soon, an inspector came in and conveyed a message to Qin Xu.

As expected, there was a confession, but it was just a small matter, just some corruption and abuse of power, which was not enough in his opinion, but he was relieved.

It seems that the dynasty's control over this imperial city is not as strong as imagined.

These officials also do a lot of private operations.

Qin Xu nodded.

Before leaving, the Inspector glanced at a certain minister.

The monk's eyelids twitched when he saw it.

The Inspector General or the Supervisory Commission is an independent institution.

Most of the monks were gifted orphans recruited by the royal family from all over the country.

Responsible only to the Holy Emperor.

The obvious functions include supervising officials, punishing corruption, and auditing funding.

In fact, they are the henchmen in the hands of the Holy Emperor, similar to the factory guards in the Ming Dynasty.

Even the power displayed only on the surface of the water can be said to be enormous.

Many officials in the court and many noble families in the imperial city wanted to place people there, but unfortunately none of them succeeded.

It is said that in the past, a noble family raised several orphans since childhood. They had no connection at all and were recruited as expected.

As a result, it was discovered through the Great Inquiry, and now that family has long disappeared into history.

Now, this Inspector General is assisting Qin Xu in the assassination of the prince, and he can be mobilized with the Holy Emperor's order.

That glance just now.

It made them think of a lot of things.

Several people communicated privately.

"Something's not right."

"Yes, it should be the bailiff of the Ministry of Justice."

"It seems that the Supervisory Council is deeply involved. Could corruption be uncovered in the assassination case?"

"It's fine to investigate the assassination of the prince, but if you investigate something you shouldn't, it might be bad."

"Everyone, make plans early."

After the private meeting, they looked at each other.

Minister Liu, the one who had just been glanced at, stood up, clasped his fists, and showed some respect.

"Master Qin, we have finished our tea. It is getting late. We should go back to the government office to do our work. Otherwise, it will be bad if we delay the important affairs of the dynasty."

Several others who followed suit and maxed out the non-stick pan attributes also spoke up.

"Yes, Lord Qin, we have delayed the great affairs of the empire. This responsibility cannot be borne by you and me."

"If the higher-ups blame us, it will all be Lord Qin's fault. Don't blame us then."

"It's enough to just get by on the occasion. We've already given Lord Qin enough face by coming here, but don't take chicken feathers as your order."

There were several assistant ministers who seemed indifferent just now.

Now his face does look a bit ugly.

The main thing is the appearance of the Inspector, and he seemed to be reporting something to Qin Xu. In their eyes, the Inspector was involved in corruption and abuse of power.

Coincidentally, some of them are not so clean to some extent.

This imperial city is a big melting pot.

The temples in this imperial city are the colorful water in the dye vat.

Which monk goes in, turns left three times, turns right three times, and dares to say he is innocent when he comes out?

If you don’t take it and I don’t take it, how can the ministers take it?

If the ministers don’t take it, how can the ministers take it?

If the ministers don't take it, how can these assistant ministers make progress?

To be untainted by the mud, in the imperial court, the most likely possibility is that you are too conspicuous, and then you are plucked out of this big dye vat by an invisible hand.

People who practice cultivation are naturally selfish and profit-oriented, so it is normal for them to be a little greedy.

But that being said, this kind of thing would weigh at least two taels if it wasn't weighed, and would weigh at least ten thousand pounds if it was weighed.

"Everyone, why are you so anxious? Have two cups of tea and wait a little longer."

Qin Xu didn't care. I invited you here, and you still want to leave?

If I let you go, then wouldn't it be a waste of my time to invite you?

If there is evidence, then just ask for permission to take it, or give out the names of two people and hand them over to the Supervisory Commission.

If there is no evidence, then we can just share it. It is not difficult to create some evidence.

When Minister Liu saw Qin Xu's attitude, he felt something was not good and that something might happen.

You have to go out. You can make some moves outside and even seek protection from the big boss behind you.

If it were here, the big guys wouldn't dare to take action.

Do you know whether you were in prison because of the spirit crystal or because of the assassination of the prince?

It's easy to get Lingjing, but if I try to save you and you're involved in the assassination of the prince, wouldn't that be smearing mud on myself?

At this critical juncture when the battle for the throne of Kowloon is about to begin, what good can it be to be involved in such a case?

"Mr. Qin, don't be ungrateful. From now on, we will meet each other soon..." Minister Liu's tone was a little harsh.

Qin Xu interrupted him.

"Master Liu, I think you should sit for a while longer and drink a few more sips of the spiritual tea. From now on, whether you can drink it or not is uncertain."

"The surname Qin... No, Lord Qin, I was a little anxious just now because of the affairs of the dynasty. Besides... what do you mean by this?"

"Everyone." Qin Xu stood up.

He looked at several monks at the minister level with sharp eyes.

"Do you really think you can come and go as you please in the Ministry of Justice?"

"Give you face and call you adults. If you don't give me face, I will be guilty!"

"How fucking clean do you think you are?"

"As for the affairs of the empire, if you don't do it, there are plenty of monks to do it. Are you needed?"

"Come here, if any of you can't sit still, please go to the jail!"

"You!" Minister Liu opened his mouth, but after seeing Qin Xu's eyes, he shut his mouth.

Several people looked at each other and sat down.

"Things are not good." No one responded to Minister Liu's message.
