Gu Tianze started paying attention to the actions of the Ministry of Justice after Gu Wanping told him about it. When Gu Beijian saw that there was no news for several days, he sent another urgent letter, this time it was sent directly to Gu Tianze.

When Gu Tianze opened it, his beard almost twisted with anger. "This brat, he looked down on me!"

Qin Chaochao was puzzled. She picked up the letter and laughed out loud.

The letter reads:

Dad, although you are not in charge of state affairs, you are too slow. The situation is urgent, but you haven't taken any action yet. What? Are you going to wait until my cousin serves as the county magistrate of Furui County for a hundred years?

The more Qin Chaochao watched, the more she wanted to laugh. "I have to say, the second one is really interesting."

"What fun is that? They are all good sons you gave birth to!" Gu Tianze rolled his eyes at her.

Qin Chaochao rolled her eyes. "Oh, when things are bad, you just follow me. When things are good, you just follow your Gu family..."

Gu Tianze ignored her and glanced in the direction of the Ministry of Justice. "Damn it, who doesn't know how to use dirty tricks? Who doesn't know a little bit of dirty tricks?"

Seeing that he had an idea, Qin Chaochao tactfully left the yard and went to have fun with her good sisters.

Gu Tianze chose a time when Lu Guangshu often went to the pub, and booked a private room next to the one he liked.

This private room is not very soundproof, and you can hear everything the neighbors say clearly.

When Gu Tianze saw Lu Guangshu enter the tavern, he began to act with Yao Dingliang.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, you are here. Your private room is reserved for you!" the waiter greeted.

"Old rules." Lu Guangshu ordered the dishes.

The waiter smiled and replied, "Okay."

As soon as Lu Guangshu entered the private room, he heard voices from next door. He listened carefully and found that it was King Xiaoyao and Yao Dingliang. He immediately became interested and sat down on the side against the wall. When the waiter came in to deliver the food, he gestured to put it aside and pretended to drink tea.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know... I feel so sad..." Yao Dingliang said while drinking a glass of wine.

"What's going on?" Gu Tianze asked.

"Do you think it's easy for me to be the Minister of Personnel? It's not easy at all. Look at other people's sons, they are not as good as my son, but they can stay in Kyoto to work, while my son can only work hard and diligently as a county magistrate in Furui County..." Yao Dingliang said drunkenly.

"Oh, young man, it's good to do some practical work down there. Look at my son, Gu Nanji, he's doing a great job on the border!" Gu Tianze comforted.

"Bullshit! Look at how many cases my son has solved recently, but that Minister of Justice Zheng Nanfei hasn't said a word. Moreover, the files my son submitted have not been sent out for trial for so many days. I don't know what Zheng Nanfei is thinking!" Yao Dingliang said angrily.

"Lord Zheng must have his own ideas, but to be honest, I think in terms of ability, I think Lord Lu Guangshu is more capable than Lord Zheng Nanfei. He works diligently day and night. I think he rarely has time to go home..." Gu Tianze said after taking a sip of wine.

"That's what I mean. I think if Zheng Nanfei can't do the job, he should just quit and let his subordinates do it. He hasn't been able to review a file for so many days. He's really just eating his rice..." Yao Dingliang said drunkenly.

Lu Guangshu listened and felt very excited. He didn't expect that he was better than Zheng Nanfei in the eyes of others, although he himself thought so too.

"If you ask me, is Zheng Nanfei's trial being delayed because someone is involved? I've seen him being quite active in previous cases, so what about this time?" Gu Tianze said thoughtfully.

Lu Guangshu listened to it.

Yao Dingliang stopped Gu Tianze and said, "Just say it here, but don't say it outside. You don't have any real evidence. If people accuse you of slander, you'll be in trouble..."

Lu Guangshu thought it made sense and decided to collect evidence.

Gu Tianze poured wine for Yao Dingliang and said, "I heard that Wang Deli, the mayor who was arrested, did a lot of bad things. His sister is a favorite concubine of Zheng Nanfei."

When Lu Guangshu heard this, he found that it was similar to the information he had inquired about. He knew that the mayor of Furui County had been arrested, but he didn't know that Wang Deli had a sister who was Zheng Nanfei's concubine.

Now, he has the opportunity to become a regular employee, and Lu Guangshu is eager to try.

Lu Guangshu didn't eat a single bite of the food he ordered and hurried to collect evidence.

After he went out, Gu Tianze and Yao Dingliang looked at each other, and the show was about to begin.

Who wants to bring down the top leader the most? It must be the second-in-command.

Gu Tianze secretly sent someone to deliver the collected evidence to Lu Guangshu. Although the process of Lu Guangshu collecting evidence was a bit tortuous, it was generally easy.

Lu Guangshu also felt that his thoughts moved God, which was why everything went smoothly for him.

About three days passed.

On this day, Gu Tianze and Yao Dingliang informed each other in advance that Lu Guangshu would come to report Zheng Nanfei today, and asked him not to take any action to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion.

Qi Xiaohan sat on the dragon throne, looking down boredly at the crowd below. "If you have something to report, you can make a report. If you don't, you can leave the court."

No one spoke. Just as the eunuch was about to dismiss the court, Lu Guangshu held up a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Zheng Nanfei looked at Lu Guangshu and pulled his sleeve. "What are you doing?"

Lu Guangshu pulled back his sleeves and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I want to report the Minister of Justice Zheng Nanfei."

Zheng Nanfei widened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Qi Xiaohan's bored eyes lit up because of this. "Oh? Why?"

"Your Majesty, I want to report Zheng Nanfei for not serving as the Minister of Justice, but for not doing his job, shielding his family members from crimes, and for corruption and bribery," said Lu Guangshu.

Zheng Nanfei's eyes widened when he heard this. How did this guy know that?
