The wind is blowing

Not long after Xiao Jingyan left, the imperial edict concerning the case of He Wenxin murdering the Ministry of Punishments and exchanging death row prisoners came down.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was demoted, and He Wenxin was still sentenced to death according to the original sentence.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was also sentenced to exile. There were more than ten people involved in the Ministry of Punishment. When Emperor Liang got angry, all of them were sent away.Now there are not a large number of officers in the criminal department, it is simply a mess.

Mu Qing took the latest residence report back to the mansion to find his sister, and happened to meet Xia Dong who came to look for Nihuang and Nihuang came out of the house together.

"Sister, the Ministry of Punishment's report on the case of exchanging death row prisoners has come down, do you want to read it?"

Shaking the small notebook with the contents in his hand, Mu Qing asked mischievously.

"Oh? Quickly read it."

Hearing Mu Qing's words, Nihuang and Xia Dong sat down together, pretending to be listening attentively.

However, Mu Qing did not immediately execute Nihuang's order.

"Sister, you didn't care about these things in the court before, why do you want to know everything all of a sudden?"

"It used to be in the southern border, the sky was high and the earth was far away, and the things in the court would not affect us. But it's different now. Of course we have to pay attention to it in this capital."

Nihuang smiled and answered Mu Qing's doubts.As for the real reason, no one knows.

"Well, that's true."

Rolling his eyes, Mu Qing felt that Nihuang's words were reasonable, and without any delay, he opened the diary in his hand and began to read.

"Xie Yu used this He Wenxin to overthrow the two generals in King Yu's hands in one fell swoop, that's ruthless enough."

Regarding the treatment of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment in the Dibao, Nihuang sighed a little.

"Sister, you always say that I don't use my brain. Recently, I analyzed the situation in Beijing and found it quite strange."

"Oh? Our little prince Mu can analyze the situation, let's hear it."

Xia Dong and Nihuang looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"Sister Dong, look, the Crown Prince lost the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households in the case of the theory of the court and the case of hiding corpses in Lanyuan. Now King Yu has lost the two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials. Qing Guogong. People say that one grows and the other grows, but after watching for a long time, I don’t think any of them have grown.”

Regarding her own discovery, Mu Qing was quite puzzled, with a puzzled face.

"Qing'er's analysis makes sense, but it's a pity that the crown prince and Yu Wang don't have the time to sit down and think about it."

What Nihuang said was not wrong at all, because the ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment were all withdrawn, and the crown prince and King Yu both sent people to recommend people from their own side in front of Emperor Liang.For this reason, Emperor Liang's head was not an ordinary pain.

No, after Xiao Jingyan went to Xishan to supervise the change of defense, he hurried back to Jinling.As soon as he entered the palace to report the situation to Emperor Liang, he saw Emperor Liang lying listlessly resting on his seat as soon as he was announced into the palace.

"My son sees my father."

"Get up."

Hearing Xiao Jingyan's greeting, Emperor Liang tried his best to sit up and cheer up.

"Reporting to my father, my son is ordered to go to Xishan to supervise the two battalions to change defenses. There is no abnormality. Everything is going well. I will report the success."

Standing aside, Gao Zhan stepped forward to take the memorial in Xiao Jingyan's hand in due course, and presented it to Emperor Liang.

"Well, well done."

Emperor Liang opened the memorial and glanced at it casually, quite satisfied with the result.

"Father looks a little tired, did you not rest?"

The tiredness on Emperor Liang's face was not fake. As a son of man, Xiao Jingyan still had to care as he should.

"You don't know, both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment are short of ministers. The Ministry of Officials is okay, and the people under it are still able to do things. But this time, the Ministry of Punishment has dealt with almost half of the people. Now it is really a mess !"

Maybe finally someone could listen to him talking about the troubles in the court, but Emperor Liang also told Xiao Jingyan about the situation in detail.

"Then father, let's appoint the person in charge as soon as possible."

Regarding Xiao Jingyan's proposal, Emperor Liang shook his head with a headache.

"My headache is the selection of this candidate. Jing Xuan and Jing Huan have had a quarrel over this matter, and now they can't find a suitable person. Jingyan, do you think these two ministers should be appointed?" Who will let it go?"

"Father, you know that I am not familiar with the six departments. If not for the last time my father ordered my minister to investigate the land invasion case, I am afraid that I would not know any of the people in the six departments."

It seems to be unconscious, because Xiao Jingyan brought up the previous land invasion case, which reminded Emperor Liang of a person like a flash of inspiration.

"I remember that the concluding text of the land invasion case was written very well. What is the name of the person who wrote it... what is it?"

Emperor Liang turned his head and asked Gao Zhan who was beside him, but Gao Zhan didn't remember it either, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Director of the Ministry of Punishment, Cai Quan."

In the end, Xiao Jingyan couldn't stand it any longer and kindly reminded Emperor Liang.

"Yes! This is Cai Quan!"

Emperor Liang quickly dug out the list of persons involved in the case of exchanging death row prisoners from a pile of memorials on the table case. After finding that Cai Quan's name was not in it, he smiled happily and said:

"Okay, this Cai Quan is not bad, and he is not involved in this case. Gao Zhan, call Cai Quan to see him."

"Yes."

Gao Zhan did not expect that the matter that had troubled Emperor Liang for a long time would be solved by Prince Jing by mistake... No!Whether it was a mistake or not, it's hard to say.

Sure enough, within an hour, Emperor Liang's imperial decree was handed down, and Cai Quan was appointed as the third-rank Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Punishment, acting as minister.Emperor Liang also ordered him to clean up the internal affairs of the Ministry of Punishment within one month. After Cai Quan completed the order, presumably his agent should be removed.

Xiao Jingyan couldn't care less about how much this order had affected King Yu and the prince.Because just after returning to Prince Jing's mansion, he happened to meet Qi Meng who came back from the outside with a happy face.

"Your Highness, you are back. There is good news, we finally caught that monster!"

"Where is it? Take me to see it!"

Hearing the news, Xiao Jingyan couldn't calm down, he grabbed Qi Meng's hand anxiously and walked out, asking him to show him the way.

It was a big iron cage, and inside it was a man who was unkempt and could not see his face clearly.The man was covered with long hair, and it was no wonder that other people thought it was a monster.

However, Xiao Jingyan is not someone else, he clearly knows the identity of this person - Nie Feng, the left forward of the Red Flame Army!

Xiao Jingyan ignored Zhan Ying and Qi Meng's shouts of caution at the same time, and went straight to the front of the iron cage and squatted down.He knew that brother Nie Feng would not hurt him.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, can you let me see what you have in your hand?"

Hearing his words, Nie Feng, who was shivering in the cage, slowly raised his head.After observing for a long time, he seemed to finally recognize who the person in front of him was, and threw himself directly on the iron bars of the cage in agitation.

This scene terrified Zhan Ying and Qi Meng, they almost rushed forward, but they were stopped by Xiao Jingyan.

Xiao Jingyan reached out and grasped the other's left wrist, and easily found what he was looking for.A bracelet, a bracelet embedded in the flesh that has become very dirty.Although it has been severely worn, Xiao Jingyan still clearly saw the two words engraved on it - Nie Feng!

It took him a lot of effort to control himself from calling out the other party's name on the spot, but anyone could see that he was extremely excited at the moment.

"Qi Meng, open the cage."

"Your Highness..."

"Open!"

Qi Meng, who didn't understand what happened at all, looked perplexed, and in the end it was Zhan Ying who snatched the key from him, and followed Xiao Jingyan's order to open the iron lock on the cage.

Xiao Jingyan personally helped Nie Feng out of the cage, and at the same time, he didn't forget to tell Zhan Ying to quickly arrange the room and equipment.

Only then did Zhan Ying and Qi Meng realize that the monster they were talking about was not a monster, but a person.

Xiao Jingyan could feel Nie Feng's excitement, but unable to speak, he could only hold Xiao Jingyan's hand anxiously, screaming indistinctly.

"Don't worry, I know who you want to see. Don't worry, I'll call them after I've arranged for you. "

Hearing that Xiao Jingyan understood what he meant, Nie Feng finally relaxed.He nodded at Xiao Jingyan, his eyes full of gratitude.Although he doesn't know why Jingyan said "they", but since Jingyan understands what he means, then he can definitely see Xia Dong.
