"The Dali Temple is handling a case, so please don't cause trouble here." The Dali Temple Chief Deng Weiping and his men arrested the violent civilians.
"Stop, you are also a participant in this matter, follow me." Deng Weiping shouted angrily and stopped the slightly plump woman.
But Deng Weiping would never listen to her and took all the perpetrators away.
This is Chen Mingxu, director of the Military Morality Department, who stumbled in front of Deng Weiping. He looked at the mansion that was burned to ashes, broke into the ashes to search, and didn't care even if he was burned.
With red eyes, he searched in the ashes. The usually bright and clean Chen Xuyang searched frantically. Deng Weiping turned away, unable to bear to watch.
Finally, Deng Weiping stepped forward and dragged the man away. "Master Chen, please accept my condolences. The most urgent thing is not to be sad, but to find the truth and find the real culprit."
Chen Mingxu stood there like a wooden man, stunned, and no one knew whether he had heard anything or not.
Deng Weiping had to announce the breaking news.
"Master Chen, I received a tip that Qingyuan Temple was also burned down, and there are no survivors."
Duke Shen and his wife were like his parents to him.
He was sure he wouldn't remain indifferent.
"What?"
Chen Mingxu's eyes were bloodshot and he felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out.
"Master Chen, the incident has already happened. The most urgent task is to find clues and find the real culprit to comfort his soul in heaven."
Chen Mingxu lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised them, the sadness had gone away, replaced by determination.
"Everyone in the Wude Division, listen up! Corral the mansion involved to prevent any damage to the scene."
"I'm with you." Deng Weiping said so. With such a big thing happening in the capital, how could the Dali Temple sit idly by.
Chen Mingxu rushed to him. He had finally calmed down, but when he saw his aging father, his defenses finally broke down.
"Father, I was on duty at the Wude Division last night. I just started working with a kitchen knife. Mother and my brothers..."
When Chen Mingxu talked about the sad part, he couldn't continue and cried silently.
"Mingxu, Mingxu, Mingxu, where is your mother? Where is Mingzhe? Where is Minghao?" Marquis Yongyi walked over tremblingly.
Chen Mingxu grabbed the Marquis's hand, careful not to let him fall. He stretched his neck and adjusted himself slightly, then choked out, "Father, fortunately, I still have you, and you still have me. I will not let the evildoer go unpunished."
"What did you say?"
Marquis Yongyi stared at him in grief and anger, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.
"Brother Chen, you have to hold on. Such a dense fire must be a conspiracy." It was Duke Shen who spoke, and Chen Mingxu looked at him excitedly.
Deng Weiping supported Duke Shen and came to the front of Marquis Yongyi. He endured the pain and said with his back teeth:
"The person behind this is too rampant. He killed eight people from the mansion in a row, thousands of them! Even my wife was not spared."
Duke Shen was filled with guilt again.
"If I hadn't rushed back last night and dragged you to drink and sigh, perhaps I could have saved my wife, and you could have saved the whole family."
"Father-in-law, that's great, you're okay." It was Chen Mingxu who spoke. He was very relieved to see Duke Shen safe and sound.
Duke Shen ignored him, but looked at Marquis Yongyi with an unusually firm expression, "My Lord, let's go to the palace and ask the Emperor for an explanation! Such a cruel and inhumane thing happened right under the feet of the Emperor. Shouldn't the Emperor give us an explanation?"
Marquis Yongyi endured the pain in his back, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from uttering the curse.
"That's right! Lawlessness. The residence of a minister was bloodbathed and slaughtered overnight. Is this a provocation? Is this contempt? A provocation to the imperial power and contempt for the laws of Dai Viet."
"Today, my entire family was exterminated before the Emperor's feet. If this matter is not explained and investigated thoroughly, the person behind this will dare to massacre the entire city's people one day."
After hearing this, the people were shocked. The person behind the scenes was too vicious. He even killed Duke Chen and the Marquis's family at will, and wiped out the entire family at will.
They are like ants. If the city is massacred as the Marquis said, how can they survive?
Marquis Yongyi and Duke Shen clung to each other as they walked towards the imperial palace. Behind them spontaneously followed the common people of the lower classes, the vendors, the teachers, the men, the women, the boys and the girls.
They were all grieving over today's tragedy. They had never imagined in their entire lives that such a cruel and inhumane thing would happen right under the feet of the emperor.
It happened right under their noses, and they were completely unaware of it when it happened.
If the current emperor does not solve the problem, and the villains massacre the city, they will be doomed.
People on the road spontaneously followed the team, and the long team stretched as far as the eye could see.
At the same time, at Duke Shen’s Mansion.
"What's the situation outside now?" As soon as Shen Peifang finished speaking, the secret guard appeared and knelt in front of him.
"The residence of the Marquis of Yongyi, the residence of the Minister of Justice, the residence of the Vice Minister of Personnel, and Qingyuan Temple were all burned down overnight and reduced to ashes."
"So successful?"
Shen Peifang smiled and admired the red flower she had just drawn. It was very beautiful under the sunlight.
"Is Prince Yongyi okay?" Shen Peifang was more concerned about Chen Mingxu.
"The prince is safe and sound, but..." The secret guard hesitated to speak.
"It's nothing, but I'll take responsibility for anything that happens." Shen Peifang didn't seem to feel that this was a disaster for herself.
"But the Empress's order was to kill Chen Mingxu as well. If the master changes the plan without permission, won't the Empress punish him for deceiving the emperor?"
Shen Peifang frowned. The secret guard talked too much today and asked about things that he shouldn't have asked about.
However, considering that he is in a good mood today, I will not bother with him. He won't live long anyway.
Shen Peifang curled her left lip corner, revealing an innocent expression. "The Queen's instructions were given to you. What does your change of plan have to do with me?"
It is his blessing to be able to protect her from disaster.
"You..." The secret guard was furious, but soon he lowered his head.
Shao Qing, he laughed and dropped a bombshell, "Duke Shen, Marquis Yongyi, and the Minister of Justice are heading to the palace."
"They have gathered all the people in the capital behind them. Do you think the Emperor and Empress can suppress this matter and make it a small matter?"
"Do you think you can be safe and sound, or that your ending will be any better than mine?"
Shen Peifang was horrified and pointed at the secret guard with a shaking finger, "You..."
The secret guard laughed very arrogantly. He was a secret guard who could not be seen in the light. His life was no longer under his own control.
But this lowly orphan, the orphan who usurped the throne, dared to arbitrarily decide his life and death?
Why does she do that?
"Pah pah pah! What a dog-eat-dog situation!"
The sudden noise made the secret guard run away instinctively, but Deng Weiping caught him with one grab.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Dali Temple Minister, Shen Peifang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground.
There were only two words in her head: she played...
