Zhao Ting delivered the iron ore to the Ministry of Industry. After the handover was completed, he went to Bai Mansion to report to Bai Muyang.
Zhao Ting was led into the Bai Mansion by a servant and waited in the living room.
Soon, Bai Muyang came and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Muyang said, looking at his dusty appearance.
"It's not hard. It's my job. Fortunately I met the young lady, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Zhao Ting said.
If it weren't for the young lady, the iron ore would not have been delivered to the capital, and he would not be standing here alive. He still feels scared when he thinks about it now.
Thinking of Tangli, Bai Muyang also smiled.
Yes, Tangli is his little lucky star.
"Where are those survivors? Send them to the Dali Temple." Bai Muyang said.
"Master, those prisoners have been handed over to the Ministry of Justice." Zhao Ting said.
"Ministry of Justice? Why was it sent to the Ministry of Justice?" Bai Muyang was surprised.
"We just entered the city and we met people from the Ministry of Justice." Zhao Ting said.
Bai Muyang frowned, feeling something was wrong. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Are you sure that person is from the Ministry of Justice?" Bai Muyang asked.
"Sure, they have badges, and the officials accompanying them also recognized them." Zhao Ting looked at Bai Muyang's frown, feeling a little uneasy. "Master, this is the capital. No one dares to pretend to be from the Ministry of Justice, right?"
Even if there is someone who is so daring, he cannot have the badge of the Ministry of Justice, right?
It was for this reason that Zhao Ting felt at ease handing over the five prisoners.
Bai Muyang still felt something was wrong. He stood up and said, "Come with me to the Ministry of Justice."
Zhao Ting: "Yes."
The two of them immediately went out and went to the Ministry of Justice.
The entrance of the criminal department.
Bai Muyang found an acquaintance and told him about the incident: "The Bai family's business was robbed on the road, and the criminal has been taken to the Ministry of Justice. Is he currently being held in the prison?"
An acquaintance went to check and came back with the reply: "Young Master Bai, there is no prisoner in the Ministry of Justice prison as you mentioned."
Zhao Ting's face turned pale immediately.
Could it be that he was really deceived?
It shouldn't be.
The badge was obviously correct. The local constables had recognized it, and he recognized it too.
At this moment, Zhao Ting suddenly saw a man coming out of the Ministry of Justice, and he looked familiar.
A light flashed through Zhao Ting's mind, and he grabbed him: "It's you!"
Zhao Ting looked at Bai Muyang and said, "Master, this is the one among those officials from the Ministry of Justice."
"Sir, where are the five prisoners you took away? Didn't you say you would take them back to the Ministry of Justice for trial?"
The man broke free from Zhao Ting directly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What prisoner? What trial?"
"We are from the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce. We are the ones who handed those five robbers over to you personally." Zhao Ting said.
"I've never seen you, nor have I seen any robbers. You are making things up." The man said impatiently.
Zhao Ting looked at Bai Muyang anxiously: "Master, the person was clearly handed over to him."
Bai Muyang naturally believed Zhao Ting and nodded.
"I want to see your master." Bai Muyang said.
"See our Lord? You want to cause trouble? Frame me? This is the Ministry of Justice, not a place for you to act like a spoiled child." The officer said angrily, "Come here, there are a few people causing trouble, take them in."
Bai Muyang's acquaintance quickly advised: "No, Master Chen, this is the Bai family's young master. There must be some misunderstanding. For my sake, please don't blame me."
The man looked at Bai Muyang again and said, "Mr. Bai, let me investigate this matter. You can go back quickly."
Bai Muyang also knew that openly challenging the government would not end well.
He was simply angry.
Originally, if those people were sent to the Dali Temple and the Dali Temple Minister found out the truth, Ding would be convicted and would be finished.
He really didn't expect that Ding had such great ability that she could even order people from the Ministry of Justice around.
Bai Muyang took a deep breath, apologized to Lord Chen, and was about to leave.
Just then, someone called him.
"Young Master Bai."
Bai Muyang looked up and saw that it was Wei Qing.
His brother-in-law worked in the Ministry of Justice, so he naturally knew about it.
This is the Ministry of Justice, and his brother-in-law is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Bai Muyang knows his limits and treats him with respect.
"Lord Wu."
"What did you argue about just now?" Wei Qing asked.
Mr. Chen's face turned pale.
Although he was called Lord Chen, he was actually the head of the constables and naturally could not be compared with Wei Qing, the Minister of the Court.
When Wei Qing asked, he didn't dare to say anything to stop him, but just gave Bai Muyang a warning look.
Bai Muyang pretended not to see it and recounted his story.
Wei Qing's sharp eyes swept over Constable Chen.
"Sir, I really didn't arrest anyone. Could it be that someone is impersonating the Ministry of Justice? That person looks a bit like me. Is this a mistake?"
Wei Qing didn't reply, but looked at Bai Muyang: "Mr. Bai, I'll investigate this matter and let you know the result."
Bai Muyang bowed to Wei Qing and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Wu."
Bai Muyang took Zhao Ting away.
Zhao Ting felt very guilty and uneasy: "Master, I'm sorry, I was careless..."
"It's okay, leave it to the Minister." Bai Muyang said.
He also wanted to know how capable his brother-in-law was.
"You've worked hard along the way. Go back and have a good sleep." Bai Muyang said again.
Zhao Ting felt that even though he had made such a big mistake, his master didn't blame him. He was very touched and made up his mind to do a good job for him!
…
Bai Mansion.
Ding was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and after reading it, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The five survivors have been killed and there is no evidence to prove their wrongdoing.
The handle that Bai Muyang had in her hand was solved. What could Bai Muyang do to him?
There is a long way to go, so they should fight hard.
The Bai family will be hers sooner or later!
…
Ministry of Justice.
File room.
Wei Qing was looking at the files while listening to his subordinates' reports.
After all, he had been working in the Ministry of Justice for a month and had recruited a few people to help him.
"Sir, Lao Chen and his group did go out. There were five or six of them. They were out for about half an hour."
"They are very cautious, fearing being followed. They must be doing something shameful."
"I followed them for a while, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I stopped. They were heading towards the city gate."
Wei Qing showed a thoughtful expression.
The constables from the Ministry of Justice took away the key witness in the case and then pretended that nothing happened. Isn't this abuse of power and abuse of power?
The Ministry of Justice is in charge of punishment, but it actually breaks the law knowingly. How ridiculous!
The Ministry of Justice is in such a mess now!
"Sir, you'd better not get involved in this matter. Lao Chen is Sir Zeng's man." The subordinate reminded.
He is an old man in the Ministry of Justice. He almost lost his official position because he offended someone. Thanks to Wei Qing's help, he kept his official position. Therefore, he works for Wei Qing and also cares about Wei Qing. He will give any suggestions he can.
There was mockery in Wei Qing's eyes.
So what about Lord Zeng?
He insisted on taking care of it.
One is for Bai Muyang, and the other is to seize this opportunity to deal with Zeng Zuwen.
