Emperor Yong'an was so happy that he pardoned Qin Zhuo on the spot. At the same time, he ordered Qin Zhuo to investigate the case thoroughly and to clean up the Ministry of Justice.

If this matter is not done well, then wait for the accountability of Emperor Yong'an.

Qin Zhuo readily agreed, and looked at the Minister of Justice and other officials with a dagger-like look in his eyes, saying, "If a person is not ruthless, his position will not be stable!"

In order to secure his position, Qin Zhuo had to thoroughly investigate these people and give the emperor a satisfactory explanation.

Other officials, including Lord Lu, looked at Emperor Yong'an with complicated eyes. They felt that Emperor Yong'an was getting closer and closer to being a tyrant.

The former Emperor Yong'an still had some rationality, but the current Emperor Yong'an is biased and favors villains. What can we do?

I hope Lord Yun can come to Beijing soon and take care of Emperor Yong'an.

It would be best if Lord Yun could fight with Emperor Yong'an every day, and they could sit nearby and watch the two fight in peace.

Lord Yun, who was on his way, sneezed loudly. Lord Yun stopped and looked up at the sky. It was a clear sky without a cloud. It was a nice day.

It looks like there will be no rain at night, so they can travel a little further before stopping to rest.

Madam Yun poked her head out of the carriage, looked at the tired Lord Yun, and reminded him, "It's getting late, shouldn't we stop for lunch?"

"No hurry, let's go a little further."

After hearing this, Madam Yun lowered the curtain and said to the daughters-in-law sitting in the carriage, "Your father-in-law is in a hurry to get on the road, so let's be patient for a while."

Several daughters-in-law nodded repeatedly. What else could they do? They were almost used to it.

But they were also anxious to return to Beijing. When they left Beijing in disgrace that year, they were looking forward to this day.

They had to let those who laughed at them see clearly that they had returned to Beijing in glory.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, obediently massaged Madam Yun's legs and said in a gentle voice:

"We are still young, so we can bear the hardship of traveling. But it is hard for our mother, who has to sleep in the open and eat all the way, and she can't get a good rest."

"Yes, yes, mother has worked hard. When we get to the capital, mother must have a good rest and make up for the loss during this period."

The second daughter-in-law, Ma, agreed with a smile, her shrewd eyes moving around. She could tell at a glance that this man was a cunning man, and someone who was unwilling to suffer any loss.

That is to say, the Yun family has lived in peace in the small county of Jiangning in recent years, so there is nothing to fight for, otherwise the Ma family would have lived a life full of calculations.

The third daughter-in-law, Jiang, was an honest woman. She didn't say anything, but just nodded continuously, holding a baby in her arms.

Anyway, no matter how the eldest and second sisters-in-law argued, Jiang would not interfere, as long as her family did not lose a bite of food.

This is the advantage of living with a Gongzhong. With parents supporting you from above, you don’t have to worry even if the sky falls.

As for what to do when his parents are gone, Jiang Shi also understood that if his parents were gone, his son would have grown up.

When her son gets married and starts his own family, she will let him and his wife take care of it, and she will just be a wealthy wife.

The fourth daughter-in-law, Liu, was sweet-talking and smart. She knew that even though the Yun family was in trouble, their property would not be reduced much.

So, this mother-in-law has to be coaxed. We can't let her give all the good things to the second and first wives. Hurry up and join the ranks of coaxing Madam Yun.

It is said that three women make a drama. There are more than three people sitting in this carriage, which makes it even more lively.

Yunmeng had finished lunch, but Chunzhi had not yet finished telling gossip, or to be more precise, she had only reached the climax.

"Princess, you don't know how cruel Qin Zhuo is." Chunzhi showed a frightened expression.

"They say that doctors should not be punished, but Qin Zhuo even tortured his immediate superior."

Oh, Yunmeng showed an interested expression. Yesterday she just lit a fire and left, but no one knew what happened afterwards.

Could there be something else that she didn't know about? To let Emperor Yong'an take action against the entire Ministry of Justice was a big move.

"Come, tell me in detail what happened in the Ministry of Justice? What made the emperor so angry? Does he want to completely change the personnel in the Ministry of Justice?"

Chunzhi clapped her hands and said, "Princess, you guessed it right. Judging from various news, a major reshuffle in the Ministry of Justice is certain.

I just don’t know who gets the benefits from the vacant positions.”

"No matter who gets the benefit, it won't be for our family. First, tell me what happened in the Ministry of Justice."

Yun Meng refused to guess who would benefit. Anyway, there were only two masters in the Prince Qi's Mansion now, her and Mo Bao, and no one could enter the Ministry of Justice.

Chunzhi thought it made sense, and it was indeed not a good deal for her, so she stopped guessing and quickly told the story of the fake queen mother.

Once the incident of the fake empress dowager came to light, all the gossip about Princess Mingyue's extramarital affair was suppressed, and all people talked about on the streets was the case of the fake empress dowager and the Ministry of Justice.

"When the case of the fake empress dowager came out, the emperor was furious in the palace and scolded all the officials in the Ministry of Justice.

I asked the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation, but before the Ministry of Justice could accept my order, Lord Lu appeared with a memorial in his hand. "

Speaking of Lord Lu, Chunzhi gave him a thumbs up, saying that he was really a good relative of the Yun family and was very supportive.

“Lord Lu is involved in serious corruption within the Ministry of Justice and is no longer able to assume the responsibility of administering criminal law.

He asked the Emperor to investigate the Ministry of Justice from top to bottom and attach the evidence. You know what, the evidence presented by Lord Lu was really complete.

There are those who buy and sell official positions, those who forge false information and fabricate wrongful convictions, those who frame loyal and honest people, those who shield criminals, those who collude with spies from enemy countries, and so on...."

Chunzhi listed all the charges one by one, and she admired the courage of the Ministry of Justice. They committed all the crimes that could be committed and should not be committed.

I heard that the former Minister of Justice Qiao Kun, who had already retired, was also arrested, and the Qiao family was also searched and his family members were imprisoned.

I’m afraid it will be difficult for Qiao Kun to escape this time.

Qin Yi, who took office later as the Minister of Punishments, did not have a good fate either. All his family members were arrested, and he was reduced from a loyal minister to a prisoner.

The emperor was extremely disappointed with Minister Qin Yi. Because he was so disappointed, he didn't even want to help him and give Qin Yi another chance.

Yunmeng understood now. It turned out that Lord Lu seized the opportunity and brought down the entire Ministry of Justice in one fell swoop. What a capable guy!

Why didn’t I realize that Lord Lu was so awesome before?

"Princess, you said Qin Zhuo was also from the Ministry of Justice and had made so many mistakes, so why did he escape?"

Facing Chunzhi's question, Yunmeng smiled. Qin Zhuo, haha, Qin Zhuo's end would probably be more miserable than any official in the Ministry of Justice.

"By the way, how are our people? Have they been implicated?" Yun Meng asked.

"No, our people are not in important positions. Most importantly, they haven't broken the law, and they also gave Qin Zhuo a generous gift, so."

Chunzhi gave Yunmeng a look that said you understand, so it was the generous gift that worked and won Qin Zhuo's favor. Not only was she not investigated, but she was also reused by Qin Zhuo.
