Chapter 363 Divorce is a Gift
Wei Liangchen never expected that Qin Jinzhi would actually attack him.
They completely ignored his explanation.
If he were to deny giving the order now, he would likely lose his position as Vice Minister of Justice.
But if he admits it, Qin Jinzhi will never forgive him.
Qin Jinzhi actually took action right in front of the Ministry of Justice.
She doesn't care at all about losing public support!
This is not what she wants, so what does she want?
Is someone like her really willing to be nothing more than a knife?
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my shoulder.
The hand pressing on the shoulder exerted force.
Ah Jiao said coldly, "The commander is waiting for your reply."
Wei Liangchen looked at Qin Jinzhi.
"Your Highness, someone reported this to the authorities, and the Ministry of Justice has arrested the person; it is their duty."
Even if it were I, the Vice Minister, who ordered the torture, it would be perfectly reasonable. This is a matter for the Ministry of Justice. May I ask, in what capacity does the Princess have to interfere in this matter?
"I am the Vice Minister of Justice, personally appointed by His Majesty. Does the princess truly intend to persecute a court official for the sake of a divorced woman who has brought shame upon the royal family?"
Qin Jinzhi burst into laughter in front of the Ministry of Justice upon hearing Wei Liangchen's words.
Her mockery was undisguised, and Wei Liangchen's expression grew increasingly grim as she laughed.
Qin Jinzhi suddenly spoke up: "Minister Wei is right! If someone reports to the authorities, they must be arrested. Once the person is arrested, they must be interrogated. Today, the Thousand Birds Division received a report that the Ministry of Justice forcibly abducted the teachers of the White Crane Academy. There are witnesses and physical evidence. Minister Wei, this is the Thousand Birds Division's duty, and it is only reasonable for me to do so."
Wei Liangchen immediately said, "Princess, someone did report that Lang Mingyue hired someone to commit murder! We will still follow the rules!"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, "Evidence?"
Wei Liangchen quickly replied, "The Ministry of Justice uses torture to obtain the truth."
Qin Jinzhi seemed to suddenly realize something, "So, the Ministry of Justice's way of doing things is to extract confessions without evidence. I have learned something today."
Two people quickly walked out from behind Wei Liangchen, each holding a clamp used for the torture of clamping.
The two quickly inserted Wei Liangchen's ten fingers inside.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Wei Liangchen and said, "Learn from the Vice Minister."
"ah!!!"
The excruciating pain in his ten fingers caused Wei Liangchen to cry out in agony.
Qin Jinzhi seemed to hear some beautiful music.
Then he looked at the two Chidori Guards holding the clamps.
"Did I not feed you enough?"
The two Chidori Guards raised an eyebrow. Had they not eaten enough?
Does the commander look down on them?
"ah!!!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the two people who were straining even their faces.
"That's more like it."
Wei Liangchen was pinned to the ground, unable to move, and looked at Qin Jinzhi with bloodshot eyes.
“Princess, it was my fault for using excessive torture, but even if you are of noble birth, you cannot use torture on me! Where do you place His Majesty?”
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at him.
“Minister Wei, it seems you still don’t know what the Thousand Birds Division does.”
The Thousand Birds Bureau is subordinate to His Majesty and directly under His Majesty's jurisdiction. From the imperial family to the common people, the Thousand Birds Bureau has the power to supervise them. In case of emergency, this princess also has the right to act first and report later.
"Of course I keep His Majesty in my heart, unlike Vice Minister Wei, who never stops talking about His Majesty. Vice Minister Wei, you are offending the Emperor's majesty."
Chidori, who had just been slapping someone, immediately brightened up upon hearing this.
He quickly walked up to Wei Liangchen and waited for Qin Jinzhi to give the order.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at Wei Liangchen, who was still wailing, and said, "Slap him!"
Wei Liangchen felt as if the slapping board was being brought by a gust of wind.
After twenty strokes, Wei Liangchen's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Qin Jinzhi slowly called for a halt.
Wei Liangchen was thrown to the ground like a dead dog.
The pain on my face and hands will subside quickly.
But Qin Jinzhi slapped him in front of the Ministry of Justice, trampling his dignity under her feet.
Qin Jinzhi stood up and walked up to him, looking down at Wei Liangchen.
"Lang Mingyue is a teacher who educates people. His Majesty and the Empress also praised his loyalty and righteousness. Divorce is a reward. Yet Minister Wei has sophistry and called it a disgrace. Minister Wei, you must apologize to Mr. Lang."
Wrong, all wrong.
Qin Jinzhi is no fox at all.
She is a vengeful viper!
Wei Liangchen struggled to his feet. "Princess, you are right. I will heed your teachings."
Qin Jinzhi mounted her horse. "Minister Wei, I've always enjoyed making a grand entrance. Don't disappoint me when I come to apologize."
Wei Liangchen felt a lump in his throat.
He was right; Qin Jinzhi really wouldn't kill him.
But she has a million ways to make him suffer more than death.
Qin Jinzhi pulled on the reins, and Liuyun walked slowly.
Qin Jinzhi said to Ajiao and Aman beside her, "The Ministry of Justice's torture methods are too inhumane. Look at how they beat Minister Wei. I don't like it. Our Thousand Birds Division can't do that."
Ah Jiao and Ah Man nodded in agreement, "I think so too."
The sound, neither too loud nor too soft, reached Wei Liangchen's ears.
His vision went black, and he fainted.
Qin Jinzhi's outburst at the Ministry of Justice was not surprising in the capital.
There wasn't even a splash.
After all, she neither killed anyone nor set any fires.
But one of her remarks caused a huge reaction in Beijing.
Divorce is not a disgrace, but a blessing.
So, it turns out that a woman can divorce without bringing shame to her family?
Of course, it wasn't these women who were making the loud noise.
When Cui Ying arrived at Qin Jinzhi's office, she immediately shook her head and clicked her tongue.
"What kind of magic did you use to cause such a ruckus at the Ministry of Justice? The people in the capital don't even think you've killed anyone or set fires. The people spreading the news are just making a big fuss."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps, this is what reputation is all about."
Cui Ying immediately stepped forward, "Don't be so smug. Although no one in the capital is talking about the Ministry of Justice's affairs, there are quite a few people in the capital who are condemning you, saying that you are rebellious, a hen crowing at dawn, and turning against the heavens!"
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "These are usually used to describe me, so what's the big deal?"
Cui Ying shook her finger, "This time it's different. From your relatives to ordinary people, there are groups of people who want to condemn you."
Qin Jinzhi stood up and placed the approved official document in Cui Ying's hands.
"If they really had the guts, I would have heard these words from their own ears, not from my Chidori Division's guards. They're just a bunch of rabble barking and howling."
Cui Ying took the official document. "So we're just going to ignore these noises?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "All I know is that if you throw a brick into a pigpen, the pig that gets hit will scream the loudest."
Only the incompetent fear that a woman escaping divorce will bring shame to her family.
So they desperately tried to put layers of shackles on these two words.
Like a ghost lurking in the shadows, whispering in people's ears again and again.
Even the slightest light would enrage them completely.
They clamored to tear that daylight apart.
But the sun will always rise.
Even the afterglow of the setting sun is forever intense.
