Such a surprise attack could catch the opponent off guard, but this wasn't the main figure. What the Ministry of Justice needed to do was to pull out the radish and bring down the mud along with it, following the clues to take down the person behind it all in one fell swoop.

Xue'er was coerced. After Dr. Sun cured her of the poison, she confessed everything.

Cen's mother was a die-hard and refused to speak no matter what. Xiang Wan had no choice but to disguise herself as a prison guard, give her a pipe dream, and then directly sell out all her secrets.

Because these matters were far-reaching, the emperor directly ordered his secret guards to take action.

When the secret guards discovered the cannons and countless cold weapons hidden not far from the capital, the emperor was furious. He roared in the hall and ordered all the officials involved to be dismissed and investigated. Surprisingly, quite a few traitors hidden in the court were uncovered.

Everyone in the court was on edge. The Commander of the Nine Gates was trembling with excitement, but he kept his head down to avoid being noticed by the emperor.

The group of officials, led by Grand Tutor Wen, were all as wilted as eggplants, not daring to utter a single word.

Although they had no intention of rebelling, there was a traitor among the officials with them. If they were to get involved now, they might be accused of treason, and all their efforts over the years would be in vain. Even if they reached the position of Grand Tutor, they would not be safe; it all depended on the emperor's decision.

Yun Jun directly took credit for it, because he didn't do much disguise when he went to the brothel.

But now that such a big thing has happened, who has the mind to discuss how to reward him? The culprit is still on the run, unless this person is brought to justice.

Xiang Wan knew that although no one would remember her actions for the time being, she would definitely not be able to escape the consequences if investigated later.

Perhaps, the coming-of-age ceremony is the best time to unravel all the reasons.
