Yunmeng sat in Fengchao Palace, hoping that other concubines would also invite her for tea. Yunmeng said that she had enough patience to visit all the concubines' palaces.

Unfortunately, Yun Meng's dream was beautiful, but until she left the palace with the queen and princess, no queen sent anyone to invite her for tea.

Stingy, really stingy.

Yunmeng sat in the carriage and muttered to herself.

I don’t know what’s going on with Mo Bao, and what the emperor has to say?

In the imperial study, Emperor Yong'an pressed his brows with a headache. He was tired, really tired. Too many things had happened during this period of time, and none of them had gone as he wished.

Looking at the little person, standing there with great grace, looking up at him, waiting for him to make the decision for him, Emperor Yong'an felt even more complicated.

This kid is not very old, why is he so difficult to deal with?

Mo Bao did not ask for the burial objects, but he kept harping on the fact that the Ministry of Justice was not handling the case well, and insisted that Emperor Yong'an punish the Ministry of Justice and give him an explanation.

Mobao is a child, so it's normal for him not to be able to read people's expressions. It seems reasonable for him to ask the emperor for an explanation and support after being wronged.

What can Emperor Yong'an do? He can only ask the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to come over.

The ones who came were the Minister of Justice and Qin Zhuo. The emperor pointed at the Minister of Justice's nose and scolded him, asking, "What is he doing scolding the Minister of Justice?"

Han Zheng didn't even notice that his body was switched. Did he have to wait until the other party figured out all the secrets of the Ministry of Justice before he discovered it?

Or maybe you won’t find out from the beginning to the end!

Question the ability of the Minister of Justice and ask him if he can still do the job. If he can't, he should get out and let someone capable do it.

Qin Zhuo was excited as he listened nearby, thinking that the opportunity had come, the opportunity had come, and once the Minister of Justice stepped down, this might be his chance.

Thinking about how the King of Wei treated him like a dog back then, and then looking at him now, Qin Zhuo raised his chin excitedly.

As a result, Emperor Yong'an shifted his target and started scolding Qin Zhuo. He became even angrier when he saw Qin Zhuo's excited and proud expression.

The case was handled unclearly and few useful clues were found. How could he have the nerve to be excited and proud?

You don't think that he will be able to take office after the Minister of Justice steps down, right?

Emperor Yong'an was shocked by his own guess and couldn't believe that Qin Zhuo would be so stupid!

The angry Emperor Yong'an pointed at Qin Zhuo and scolded him, making Qin Zhuo unable to raise his head and regretting having Han Zheng by his side.

The burial objects of the old prince and princess were all stolen. They couldn't be buried without burial objects, right?

Thinking about how poor the Prince of Qi's Mansion was, Emperor Yong'an quickly came up with an idea.

Pointing at the Minister of Justice and Qin Zhuo, he said, "You two must collect a hundred treasures to make amends for your crimes, to comfort the old prince's spirit in heaven."

Huh? The Minister of Justice and Qin Zhuo widened their eyes in shock, wanting to ask: Your Majesty, what are you talking about?

It wasn't them who robbed the tomb, so why should they be allowed to take out the burial objects?

They were dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied, but Emperor Yong'an's next words left them speechless.

"If you don't agree, resign and go home. I don't need fools."

The Minister of Justice took the order decisively. It was impossible for him to go home. Didn’t he see how the old minister was treated after he took office?

How many of the people who used to please the old minister are left now?

Oh, there's not one left!

Those people turned to curry favor with the new Minister of Justice. Who still remembered the old minister who had lost his power?

The officialdom is the place where you can most clearly see how people become indifferent to you when you leave.

Seeing that the Shangshu had agreed, Qin Zhuo had nothing more to say and agreed decisively.

Anyway, the Qin family is not short of money, so they can still take out those burial objects.

The emperor scolded the two ministers of justice, and extorted a hundred treasures from them to give to the Prince of Qi's Mansion. He felt that his performance was almost complete.

So he ordered the Minister of Justice to solve the case as soon as possible. If the case was not solved within three days, the consequences would be borne by the minister.

In short, this case must be solved, no matter what means the Minister of Justice uses, it must be solved, as this matter concerns the reputation of the royal family.

After doing all this, the emperor looked at Mo Bao, who bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for the Prince Qi's Mansion. However, Mo Bao looked at the Emperor with tears in his eyes.

"But all of grandpa and grandma's burial objects have been stolen, and they can't be found in a short time. What should Mo Bao use to bury grandpa and grandma?"

The emperor was stumped by the question. It was a well-known fact that the Prince of Qi's mansion was poor. The emperor also knew how much silver the Prince of Qi had taken to the battlefield.

At that time, the national treasury was in difficulty and could not afford the military expenses. However, the war had already started, and we could not stop the war just because we could not afford the military expenses.

So in the end, it was the Prince Qi's Mansion that took on everything.

Now that the Prince of Qi's Palace could not produce any burial objects, leaving a baby looking at him aggrievedly, no matter how hard-hearted the Emperor was, he could not help but soften his heart a little.

Qin Zhuo and the Minister of Justice secretly curled their lips at the side, wondering why the one hundred treasures they took out were not considered burial objects.

This kid is too greedy.

The emperor obviously didn't think about the one hundred treasures, and he gave away a lot of treasures out of tenderness.

Eunuch Qiao saw it clearly, but he did not remind the emperor. Eunuch Qiao knew very well that he had received kindness from the Prince of Qi's Mansion and he had to repay it.

Although you can't report it openly, there's no problem in letting it go privately.

Just like that, Mo Bao left the palace with a batch of rewards, while Qin Zhuo and the Minister of Justice followed behind miserably.

When the group left the palace and were about to go their separate ways, Mo Bao suddenly said:

"My Lords, please deliver the treasures you owe me in Prince Qi's Mansion within three days. And don't fool me with ordinary things, or I will go to the palace."

Threat, clear threat!

Qin Zhuo was so angry that he just wanted to wave his fist, but he only dared to wave it. He didn't dare to hit Mo Bao because didn't he see that there was an old man next to him staring at him sinisterly.

Qin Zhuo believed that if he dared to touch the calligraphy, the old man would fight him to the death.

The Minister of Justice was a good-tempered person. He bowed to the calligraphy and said, "Don't worry, my lord. It will be delivered within three days."

After saying that, he motioned Qin Zhuo to leave with him. This useless guy couldn't do anything right.

I don’t know what the emperor saw in Qin Zhuo. Even though he committed such a serious crime, the emperor did not punish Qin Zhuo.

This made the Minister of Justice confused and at the same time he felt a sense of crisis.

Could this Qin Zhuo be the emperor's secret confidant?

Will Qin Zhuo replace him?

With mixed feelings, the Minister of Justice took Qin Zhuo to a corner and said in a cold voice:

"This matter was caused by you. You are responsible for all the one hundred treasures. I will not be responsible for any of them."

Qin Zhuo: ...Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"Your Excellency, this is unreasonable." Qin Zhuo was anxious. He could accept the 100 treasures being split equally between them, and he didn't feel that bad about it.

But it would not work if Qin Zhuo took it alone, as that would be like digging into his flesh. Qin Zhuo decided to argue for it.

"If you think it's unreasonable, haha, I heard that there's a big case in Jiangning, why don't you go and handle it."

After the Minister of Justice finished speaking, he stared at Qin Zhuo sinisterly, and the word "ill-intentioned" was almost written on his face.
