Tiekong grabbed the jailer by the collar and narrowed his eyes.

"Iron Court Judge, Minister Su...is dead." The jailer stammered.

Su Jiaojiao ran towards the male prison in a panic, "No, no, Grandpa won't die!" Su Yun followed behind.

Tiekong ignored the two men and instead pressed the jailer's acupoints and threw him to the ground.

"You two, drag the murderer who killed Minister Su away."

"Iron Court Judge, it's unjust." Although the jailer with small eyes could not move, he could still shout.

Tiekong was afraid that the man would commit suicide by taking poison, so he removed his jaw.

Now I couldn't even utter a word.

Tiekong stood up and rushed towards Minister Su, and soon caught up with Su Yun and the others.

Shan Qingfeng followed behind with a complicated look in his eyes.

It must be said that the reason Tiekong was able to sit in the position of Dali Qing was not only because of the emperor’s promotion, but the most important thing was his decisiveness in solving cases.

The jailer looked very unfamiliar, with a mess of dirty handprints on his shoulders.

It was obviously left behind when the person was struggling after being killed.

All in all, the person behind this is really despicable.

But if it were him, he would never be as decisive and swift as Tiekong.

Minister Su lowered his head, his graying hair covering his face, and a carved dagger was inserted into his heart.

Looking closely, the dagger handle was inlaid with red gems and surrounded by carved magnolias.

Su Bing squatted beside Su Ruiwen holding his arms, his eyes fixed on the dagger.

When so many of them woke up, they saw the jailer shouting in panic, "Minister Su has been killed."

After a while, the jailer ran away.

He just felt Minister Su's breath and found he was still alive.

But why does this dagger look so familiar...

When Su Huaiyi saw someone coming, he immediately shook the prison door and shouted.

"Hurry up and save him, Shangshu is still alive."

"Master!" Su Jiaojiao wanted to open the door, but it was useless without the key.

She turned to look at Tiekong, her eyes filled with tears that were about to fall.

"Aren't you looking for something? If my grandfather dies, no one will know where that thing is."

"Heh~" Tiekong smiled and moved the scar on his face slightly.

He played dumb, "I don't understand what Miss Su is saying. However, if the Shangshu dies in the Dali Temple, I can't escape the responsibility."

"You, go get the imperial physician." Tiekong ordered a young jailer around him.

He glanced at Shan Qingfeng out of the corner of his eye.

"Shan Shaoqing, the emperor has handed the case over to you. You are responsible for the assassination of Minister Su. But as the Minister of Justice, I also have to find the real culprit."

"Iron Court Officer is right!"

Shan Shaoqing opened the prison door and walked in.

He casually looked around, and his heart trembled when he saw the dagger clearly.

Tiekong also came in, smiling. "It seems that you know who this dagger belongs to?"

Su Yun and Su Jiaojiao also squeezed in.

Su Jiaojiao tucked Su Shangshu's hair behind his ear with trembling fingers and gently placed her fingers on his nose.

She felt the faint breath and fell to the ground, completely exhausted.

Just now, she was just holding on.

Now she can only wait for the imperial physician to come and save her grandfather.

Seeing Shan Qingfeng remaining silent, Tiekong sneered.

Su Yun also saw the dagger clearly and was slightly stunned.

[Isn't this the dagger that the emperor gave to my great grandfather? How come it is here! ]

Shan Qingfeng glanced at Su Yun uncertainly, then looked away.

He finally gritted his teeth and said, "This looks like General Guan's personal dagger."

"Oh~ So the one who wants to kill Minister Su is Guan Qing." Tiekong said deliberately.

He knew that someone must have framed Guan Qing, but how could he not remove this obstacle when there was such a good opportunity.

[But no matter how you look at this dagger, the gems look real. Whoever framed my great grandfather must have gone to great lengths to do this.]

[Also, there are no small words carved by His Majesty himself on the bottom of this dagger. Even the one made by my great-grandfather had His Majesty carve small words on it again.]

Shan Qingfeng's eyes lit up slightly. He was now certain that this was Su Yun's voice.

As for the dagger, General Guan could just take another dagger and the problem would be solved naturally.

Shan Qingfeng seemed to move closer to the dagger, then shook his head.

"Iron Court Officer, this is just a copy of General Guan's dagger. Look at the bottom, there is no small words engraved by the emperor. I have seen the dagger with my own eyes, I can't be wrong."

"Yeah."

Tiekong's face twitched slightly. The person behind this is really an idiot.

There are loopholes everywhere.

Since he couldn't resolve the issue of Guan Qing, he had to take the opportunity to get his hands on the account book.

Just then, the imperial physician arrived.

Doctor Lin is a man of some ability, but unfortunately he is not good at flattery and is always rejected by other imperial doctors and imperial physicians.

This time, it was because no one else came that Imperial Doctor Lin was pushed into the muddy water.

Doctor Lin frowned all day long, and there were three deep wrinkles on his forehead.

"What are you all gathering around for?"

Everyone stepped back.

Doctor Lin walked in, flipped Minister Su's eyelids and took his pulse.

Then he checked the injuries.

He stood up and said, "Fortunately, Minister Su's heart is on the right side, otherwise he would have died from this dagger. However, if the dagger is pulled out, this prison is not suitable for rest."

"Send it to my house to be raised." Tiekong replied.

[I remember now, this Iron Court Judge was named Tiekong. When the emperor was young, he was hunting, and Tiekong and his sister accidentally barged in. But his sister fell off a cliff because of a sudden arrow. In order to save his sister, Tiekong was scratched on the face by a branch, but he still failed to save his sister. As a result, he fell off the cliff while holding onto a branch. ]

[Later, it was His Majesty who saved Tiekong and raised him by his side. His Majesty also sent people to look for her under the cliff, but they couldn't find her. Tiekong also hated His Majesty for this, and the disappearance of his sister was always a thorn in his heart.]

[Could it be that he is the one who found the bribery and corruption account book of the uncle? Tiekong has a reason to do this, because he wants to change the surname of the emperor's world, and the first thing he wants to do is to disintegrate the queen's party. ]

Su Yun lowered her head and thought seriously.

Shan Qingfeng was shocked. He didn't expect this to happen.

He must get the account book and never let it fall into the hands of others.

"No! The emperor has handed this case over to me, and Minister Su must not make any mistakes. Go to my house to recuperate." Shan Qingfeng objected.

Tiekong looked at Shan Qingfeng steadily and then flicked his sleeves.

"Okay, I want to see if you can protect Minister Su."

After Tiekong left, Shan Qingfeng was also preparing to take Shangshu Su back to the mansion.

Su Yun grabbed Shan Qingfeng and said, "Sir."

[Shan Qingfeng is a man I can trust, but with so many eyes around, how can I tell him that the account book is hidden in the Tao Te Ching?]

Shan Qingfeng: Needless to say, I already know...

"If there is anything, wait until Minister Su is treated. I already know what happened." He emphasized the last sentence, hoping Su Yun could understand.

[Could it be that Dan Qingfeng already knows about this? That’s good.]

Su Yun nodded and let go of her hand.

Shan Qingfeng and Imperial Physician Lin hurried away with Minister Su.

When Su Bing saw the injury on Su Yun's neck, he was about to ask a few questions when he saw Tie Kong, who had left, come back.

He walked over and said, "You two, take Su Jiaojiao and Su Yun back to the cell."

The jailer dragged the two men and the big locks were put back on the men's side.

When they walked away, Tiekong took Su Yun to a secret room alone.

He approached slowly, and the sound of "da da da" footsteps was quite oppressive.

"It's normal for your brother and sister to have an accident. What did Hei Zi tell you? Think carefully before answering. If it's nonsense..."

Tiekong didn't say the rest of the words, but Su Yun understood.
