The fastest way from the Criminal Department to the Imperial Palace is Zhuque Street. People come and go on Zhuque Street.

At this time, the people on the street saw someone passing by on horseback in front of them, and unconsciously gave way to a road. There was originally a road specially used for horse racing, but because there were too many people and the people were brave, pedestrians on this road were also Extraordinarily many.

However, on the 1st, 11th, and 21st, this road will be cleared, and people are not allowed to walk freely on it. It is specially used for carriages to pass, and it is a special road for going to court.

It's usually fine. Even if there is a carriage, you don't dare to drive too fast to avoid hitting people.

At this time, the people voluntarily gave way, not because of anything else, but because they were afraid of being hit by the horse. Shen Yi rode a horse and passed by on this road, scaring everyone and hurriedly pushed aside. It would be bad if the horse hurt people. Already.

On the other side, Zhao Kuang was also riding towards the palace, and the two of them happened to meet each other.

"Zhao Kuang, are you going to the palace?"

Shen Yi saw him and stopped him. This person's visit to the palace at this time must have something to do with today's incident.

"Shen Yi? Are you going to the Ministry of Punishment? Magistrate of Changling County?"

Zhao Kuang spoke up and said, "This Shen Yi must be because of this incident."

"Zhan Jun has already gone to His Majesty with the evidence of his crime, and I tore it apart. However, I think the way he looks like that, the Magistrate of Changling County may be in danger of his life."

Shen Yi nodded. In this situation, he wanted to overpower Zhan Jun. He went to the palace this time to confront Zhan Jun.

"What does the life of the Changling County Magistrate have to do with me?"

After Zhao Kuang heard this, he thought Zhan Jun would play dirty tricks? This was not like his style.

He has always been the most worried, and would not directly kill people until the end, especially before getting His Majesty's will. After all, this involves certain risks.

This is not Zhan Jun's style, so those people have planned this matter long ago and will not stop doing it. If the matter is exposed, they will find a few more people to be scapegoats.

But he won't say that now. Since Shen Yi is here, he must be asking for help. It's okay to let him owe him a favor.

"It has nothing to do with you, but Zhan Jun will dominate the Criminal Department from now on."

Shen Yi said to Zhao Kuang, this Zhao Kuang should be very interesting to Zhan Jun.

Every time Zhan Jun did something, he would do the opposite. Because of this, there were quarrels in the court for more than a day or two.

As long as the case is tried by two people, there will be disagreements, and in the end it can only be resolved in court.

The current situation must have gone to the palace because of this matter. After all, he had different opinions from Zhan Junzheng and it would be unreasonable for him not to make a fuss.

After hearing what Shen Yi said, Zhao Kuang thought to himself, I want to go against Zhan Jun, but if you don't give me any benefits, how can I go against him?

"What does that have to do with me?"

When Shen Yi heard this, he thought he was going to negotiate terms with him.

"Do you know why they arrested the Changling County Magistrate? They have to make it so tense. If it is an ordinary county magistrate, they have to produce an arrest warrant. Don't you think there is a problem?"

This is simply a huge question. If Xu Bin is killed by them, where can they find Xu Bin?

This has a surprisingly large impact on land restrictions.

Even though this is just a county magistrate, the importance behind it is very great.

At this time, their thoughts on arresting the Changling County Magistrate had already been revealed.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuang fell into deep thought. Everything was wrong.

That Wang Hui had been pestering him in the morning, hoping that he would not ruin their plan.

In addition, all this information is blocked.

I have to say there is a big problem.

"If Zhan Jun gains power, life will be even more difficult for adults in the future. Zhan Jun and Prince Wang have been very close to each other recently."

"What, him?" You're not kidding me, this is what Zhao Kuang was thinking.

The two of them are something Feng Ma Niu doesn't want to mention. Zhan Jun is not of the same mind as Wang Cen. Could it be that he and Wang Cen are collaborating.

No wonder, no wonder not a bit of news was leaked.

Zhan Jun had a conflict with Wang Cen's people before, and they couldn't get along with each other. How could he let go of his differences? Could it be because of the land restriction order that made him anxious? I heard that many people have been secretly targeting him recently.

Xie Ji.

But this has nothing to do with him. He doesn’t have much land. Can the land be eaten? A hundred years of farming will not be as good as his monthly salary. It is stupid to rely on the land to make a fortune. There is no good way to sell things in farming. It is the most profitable now.

In addition to receiving salary, he also provided convenience to those smugglers.

This way of making money is much better than farming. And after serving in the Ministry of Justice for so many years, he has many ways to cut off the relationship with those businessmen when it involves him.

Don't tell me that land can be passed on to future generations. He knows very well that if there is no supporting pillar in the court, the more land you have, the more fat you will become in the eyes of those officials.

He has read this kind of case hundreds of times, so having a piece of fertile land is not a guarantee at all. The biggest guarantee is a powerful position in the court.

If your power is gone, then no matter how much land you have, it will be in vain.

His family's population was not prosperous, and this had become a problem, so he could only sigh.

"Let's go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Zhao Kuang said. He now disliked Zhan Jun very much. It would be nice if there was less of such a person.

After a long time, inside the prison, Zhao Kuang said to the guards nearby: "Take me to see the Changling County Magistrate."

"This..." The guard didn't know what to say when he heard this.

"Sir, it's Shilang Zhan who doesn't let anyone see him."

As soon as Zhao Kuang heard that it was the villain Zhan Jun, he kicked the guard to the ground and stepped on him a few times.

"Zhan Jun, I ask you, Zhan Jun, to lead the way or not."

Zhao Kuang threatened the guard and said, damn it, you even dare to disobey his order.

The guard was kicked several times, but he still said firmly: "It's Mr. Zhan..."

"Fuck you Zhan Jun. Believe it or not, I will kill you right now. It depends on what you do to Mr. Zhan. Are you going to lead the way for me, or are you going to the underworld?"

When Zhao Kuang saw the sword on the waist of another guard, he pulled it out and pointed it at that guard's head.

Seeing this, Shen Yi thought to himself, no wonder he likes to fight in the court. He was just talking, and this person started to take action directly.

The guard was trembling at the threat. This situation would definitely lead to murder. He had heard before that someone else had killed one of his servants. He didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he had to believe it.

"Lead the way now, lead the way now." The guard was extremely nervous, fearing that he would really kill him.

"Thank you." Zhao Kuang threw the sword in his hand back to another guard. The guard had not yet reacted from the shock and had to take the sword in a hurry, but his hand was shaking badly.

Inside the prison, after Zhao Kuang and Shen Yi came in, they found that the cell was surprisingly quiet, with no sign of anyone.

"Why is there no one in this prison?" Zhao Kuang asked a little puzzled, how could there be no one in this prison? This is very strange.

"This... I don't know." The guard's eyes were a little dodgey, and he was a little afraid to look at the situation.

Zhao Kuang felt that the prison was a bit strange today. Even if there were usually no people in it, there were still guards stationed inside.

But apart from the few guards he saw at the door, there was not a single guard inside. This had to be said, which was very strange.

Zhao Kuang suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to move forward.

Shen Yi looked at Zhao Kuang suspiciously. Is this the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?

There was no blood or crying as he imagined, and it was quite neat and tidy.

This makes sense, after all, they were all imprisoned for the imperial officials.

However, there are no guards here. Aren't you afraid of people running away?

It turns out that the prison is like this, and anyone can rob it like this.

Walking deeper, the candles on both sides of the aisle moved slightly due to the wind caused by people walking by.

It can be seen that this is indeed very quiet and silent.

When we got to the end, we found it was still empty.

Zhao Kuang asked: "Where is the magistrate of Changling County?"

Why is there no one here?

Where did the Changling County Magistrate go?

"I really don't know," the guard said when he saw the look in Zhao Kuang's eyes. Then when he saw Zhao Kuang's anger, he knelt down and said, "I really don't know."

Zhao Kuang's eyes were a little angry. He kicked him and knocked him to his side. He took out the sword from his waist and pointed it at him: "Who took him away?"

The guard's eyes were a little evasive, which made Zhao Kuang even more irritated, "Tell me, who did it?"

Zhao Kuang's tone was particularly unkind. Who took him away? Damn it, he didn't take him seriously.

"This, I really don't know. In the morning, many officials from the Ministry of Punishment were here to interrogate the Changling County Magistrate. Then Shilang Zhan left. After that, all the adults left one after another. And that was it."

The guard said cautiously, he was not an important person, how could he know about this matter.

"So, those guards disappeared out of thin air, and the Changling County Magistrate also disappeared out of thin air?" Zhao Kuang pointed a sword at him, threatening that if he didn't tell the truth, don't blame his sword for not being sharp.

The guard was a little afraid of the sword, but he still didn't say anything, hesitant and evasive.

"Tell the truth, or believe it or not, I will give you all the 108 torture instruments of the Ministry of Punishment."

The guard was a little horrified after hearing this. He was a guard outside the Ministry of Punishment, so he naturally knew some of the conditions inside. Those torture instruments would turn a person's legs into skin even if they were not dead.

"Sir, it was Gu Shangshu who told this villain to shut up. If it were revealed, this villain's life would be in danger!" the guard said with fear. He kept shaking his head and saying nothing.

"Consultant, damn it. Why don't you know he is so courageous?" As soon as Shen Yi heard about the consultant, he knew that this man had ruined the prime minister's good deeds.

Arresting the county magistrate, forcing a confession, and now brazenly abducting people.

"Gu Shangshu didn't take it away." The guard said quickly when he heard it, and then he shut up when he realized something was wrong.

"Oh, it's not a consultant, who is that?" Zhao Kuang looked at the guard sternly, and then threatened, "If you don't tell me, not only will your head be in danger, but you will also experience all the criminal laws of the Ministry of Punishment, and then die in a miserable state, and then the body will be taken away. Abandoning the mountains and fields, they become food for wolves, tigers and leopards. Their souls have no place to rely on."

The more Zhao Kuang talked about it, the more panicked the guard's face became. His face had lost all color and turned pale.

"I really don't know, I don't know. It was Gu Shangshu who ordered all the guards to leave. He said that there were no prisoners in the prison anyway, so he let them go. Then he took away a large number of people. Maybe the Changling County Magistrate was among them.

between."
