Chapter 1305: Trial of the Rebels

After those people confirmed the caravan's thoughts, Ye Zifen did not stay for too long, but quietly followed the crowd and left.

However, when she arrived outside the Dali Temple's tent, she was told by several servants at the door that the Dali Temple's chief had already gone to rest.

Ye Zifen thought that after so many days of long journey, they must be exhausted and need a good rest.

Therefore, she did not rush for an answer, but decided to wait for the right time to ask.

The next morning, the sun was shining on the earth. Ye Zifen walked out of her tent, stretched out her arms, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and then yawned loudly.

Just then, she saw the Dali Temple Chief Justice walking towards her from afar, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

When the Dali Temple Minister came closer, he handed the item in his hand to Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen took it and looked at it, and found that it was a memorial written by the Minister of Dali Temple to the Emperor.

The memorial recorded in detail the rebel's various misdeeds and his corruption.

After reading it carefully, Ye Zifen looked up and asked the Dali Temple Minister, "Is this person still imprisoned in the military camp?"

The Dali Temple Minister nodded and replied, "Yes, the soldiers of the vanguard camp are guarding him and no one is allowed to approach him."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen felt relieved a little, but the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated.

She continued to ask: "So how should we deal with this traitor next?"

The Dali Temple official frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "This matter is of great importance, and we still need to wait for the emperor to make a decision. But before that, we must ensure his safety and not let him have any chance to escape."

Ye Zifen nodded in agreement. She knew that she had to be extremely careful in handling this matter and must not take it lightly. She tightly grasped the memorial in her hand and vowed to make the traitor receive the punishment he deserved and seek justice for her people.

The contents of the memorial were extremely detailed, but most of the military merits that were embezzled actually belonged to the members of the caravan.

Especially Zhang Gaoyi, most of the credit in the memorial goes to him. In other words, he should have been in the position Zhang Gaoyi is in now.

Of course, she only then realized that the letter Zhang Gaoyi wrote to her was already an understatement.

It turns out that this is a military camp. No one cares about the truth. Even if someone has made great military achievements, he will be replaced in the end.

Perhaps it is because such things are too common that the so-called bigwigs in the military do not take them seriously.

At the same time, Ye Zifen also realized that this war was far more complicated than she had expected, and there might be many conspiracies and crises hidden behind it.

Ye Zifen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, chuckled insincerely, and said teasingly: "Sir, you are really fast in trying this case! You actually solved the case in just one night?"

The Dali Temple Minister couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and ashamed. He coughed lightly and explained, "When I went to check yesterday, I found that those people had already questioned everyone who needed to be questioned, and there was also that person's confession. I asked again and confirmed that everything they said was true. I didn't expect that this case was so easy to investigate. So... I hurriedly wrote a memorial last night and submitted it."

Ye Zifen nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Didn't General Zhenbei come forward to stop it? You ignored his prestige in the military camp and directly interrogated the prisoner. It seems a bit overstepping your authority, right?"

The Dali Temple Minister quickly shook his head and waved his hands, answering innocently: "How could I not care about General Zhenbei's face! I just went over to ask a few questions. Who made that guy so reluctant to ask questions? After just a few words, he revealed everything. I can't cover his mouth and stop him from talking!"

After saying this, the Dali Temple Minister spread out his hands helplessly.

When Ye Zifen heard the words of the Dali Temple Chief Justice, she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart.

She originally thought that people in official circles were full of intrigue and scheming, but she did not expect that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in front of her was so smart and intelligent.

It seems that my understanding of officialdom is still too superficial.

Ye Zifen took the initiative to speak: "Yesterday, General Zhenbei seemed to have sent people to communicate with those guys. I wonder if they achieved any results. Why don't we go over and take a look. After all, the matters instructed by the imperial edict should be handled as soon as possible. If we delay for too long and something goes wrong, and the higher-ups blame us, we can't afford to bear the consequences."

As she spoke, she looked at the Dali Temple Minister.

The Dali Temple Minister recalled the scene when he went to General Zhenbei's camp yesterday. At that time, he realized that the general was planning to send someone to contact those people.

"Then let's go! But when we get there, we should try to be as quiet as possible and wait and see how General Zhenbei responds to this matter."

His tone was very cautious, as if he was afraid that Ye Zifen would raise objections.

However, at this moment, he no longer had the alert look he had just had.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but ask curiously, "You were quite courageous yesterday, why are you so scared today?"

The Dali Temple official replied helplessly: "We were so confident yesterday because we had the imperial edict to back us up, so we could follow the trend. Now, after a night, I believe that General Zhenbei has figured out the situation. It would be best for us to be more restrained and sensible."

In fact, the reason for this is that what the traitor confessed yesterday really had nothing to do with General Zhenbei.

In this case, he really had no reason to treat General Zhenbei in such a bad attitude.

As for other issues of dereliction of duty, they were just trivial matters.

After all, as the commander of an army, how could he have so much energy to pay attention to those ordinary soldiers? He had so many important things to deal with!

All we can say is that he was not strict enough in managing his subordinates, but how could he do anything to General Zhenbei just because of this one mistake?

The Dali Temple Minister was afraid, but Ye Zifen was not afraid at all.

However, since she had not yet seen General Zhenbei's attitude, she naturally would not easily make any comments at this moment.

So the two of them walked towards the military camp together.

There were soldiers guarding outside the military camp. Although the two soldiers recognized the Chief Justice, they still stopped him outside the gate according to convention.

"Please wait for a moment, sir. I will go in and report it!" The Dali Temple Minister nodded in agreement.

One of the soldiers entered the tent to pass on a message. Not long after, the resounding voice of General Zhenbei was heard from inside: "Please invite the Minister of the Dali Temple into the tent for a chat!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldier who had just gone in to deliver the message walked out of the tent and invited the Chief Justice to come in.
