On the other side, Zhao Wei had already received orders from Ye Lianhe to withdraw all the assassins in the back hall, then had his trusted aides rush to the Ministry of Justice to inform Ye Lianhe's trusted aide, Dong Liang, that they had been working together for Ye Lianhe for many years, and that he was the one who had been promoted.

Moments later, the sound of various footsteps could be heard outside the hotel. A group of hunters rushed in and stopped everyone in their tracks.

The leader of the group stood out, held up his badge and said, "We are hunters of the justice courts. We have received a report that a murder has occurred in this restaurant, and have been ordered to apprehend the culprits.

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment. Why didn't the Ministry of Justice send someone to the justice courts instead? This caught Zhao Wei off guard.

Just as the constable shouted, Zhao Wei clearly saw a scoundrel secretly throw aside the white cloth on his head and slip away from the crowd.

Seeing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly gave a meaningful glance to the spy standing in the dark. That person nodded and secretly followed the person with a head full of scoundrels.

All of these plans were in the hands of Ye Lianhe. First, he had to control everyone and prevent any changes to prevent them from causing any changes to the situation, and then he had to immediately inform the Ministry of Justice's Prison Department to decide this case and quickly resolve it. After this matter was concluded, he would send people to deal with these civilians in secret, and this matter would be considered to be over.

However, what Ye Lianhe did not expect was that the one sitting in front of him right now was not Dong Liang, but Liu Changsheng, the chief official of the third-grade justice court. Dong Liang was sitting in front of the next public trial with He Lu from the mansion, looking at Zhao Wei with an anxious expression.

It turned out that Ye Feian had long anticipated that a petty trick like stirring up trouble wouldn't be able to beat Ye Lianhe. He had calculated that with Ye Lianhe's personality, he would quickly find someone he trusted to deal with this matter.

Not long ago, the imperial court had undergone a huge blood change. Although Ye Lianhe had cleaned up a lot of officials who were against him, this had pushed those who were unwelcome to the throne to the side of the emperor.

In such a situation, Ye Lianhe could only trust the officials that he had personally promoted, and among these officials, only Dong Liang and He Lu, who was currently sitting beside him, were responsible for the administration of criminal justice. On the other hand, when Ye Feian went to make a ruckus, he sent people to inform Liu Changsheng, and when Dong Liang sent someone to arrest him, he found out that Liu Changsheng had captured them first.

"Ascending Hall!"

Following a shocking wooden sound, the murder case officially began.

Everyone in the hall wailed out their grievances. Their family members had eaten in the restaurant set up by the princess yesterday. Not long after returning home, they vomited blood and fell to the ground and died.

Later on, he asked the others and found out that many of them had done the same thing yesterday.

This caused those who had eaten the hotpot yesterday to feel a sense of lingering fear.

"Defendant Zhao Wei, Ming-Yue restaurant manager. Everyone here accused you of selling poisonous food and poisoning several people. Do you know your crime?"

Liu Changsheng was very smart. He knew that Ye Feian wanted to finish this case quickly, so he decided to convict Zhao Wei right from the beginning.

"Reporting to Lord, the store has always been in compliance with the law and has never done anything against the law. Please look into it, Sir!"

Zhao Wei said to Liu Changsheng in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Impudent! You think you can do whatever you want with esteemed wangfei as your backing?" It was obvious that you wanted to escape punishment! Humans were bitter insects, they would not submit if they did not fight. Humans were wooden sculptures, they would not fight back if they did not fight! Someone come, serve me the most severe punishment! "

Liu Changsheng was not vague either. He thought this Zhao Wei was just an ordinary businessman and could scare him with a few words.

But when he saw Zhao Wei's neither humble nor haughty attitude, he immediately understood. Zhao Wei would not easily confess, so he planned to punish him with heavy punishment and turn the blow into an excuse.

Just as Liu Changsheng finished his sentence, a few bailiffs picked up their fire and water sticks and held Zhao Wei up.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The sound of the fire rod hitting flesh rang incessantly in his ears. Not long later, blood began to seep out from Zhao Wei's back. Even the poverty-stricken person beside him felt his heart palpitate in fear when he saw this.

However, as expected of Zhao Wei, he was born into the military. Even though he was beaten into this state, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Seeing Zhao Wei being so stubborn, Liu Changsheng's heart started beating wildly. However, just as he was hesitating, a bailiff handed him a piece of paper, on which was written, "After fainting, I will take you in as a prisoner."

He nodded repeatedly. He was truly worthy of being called the number one genius of the Xuan Empire. Regardless of whether he was plotting or scheming, he was definitely one of the best.

"You actually dare to be so stubborn!" "You guys hit me hard!"

Liu Changsheng shouted as he waved his sleeves.

At this point, Zhao Wei was already beginning to weaken due to excessive blood loss.

"Little people... Unjustly … "Unjustly accused!"

At this moment, his mind was a bit blurry, but he continued to mutter to himself.

"Grand Dominance King has arrived!"

With a loud call, Night Lianhe strode in from outside. Looking at Zhao Wei, who was already unconscious, he was extremely infuriated.

"Lord Liu, such authority!"

Ye Lianhe sneered.
