Zhining kept her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly, she said, "Sir, your subordinate accidentally ruined the wax sealing the documents. Zhining kept her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly," Sir, your subordinate accidentally ruined the wax sealing the documents. This subordinate knows his wrongs. Lord, please punish me! "

The expression in Nanhai's eyes gradually deepened as he looked at Zhining. He stared closely at her figure, as if he could see through her with a single glance.

ZhiNing had been kneeling on the ground, waiting for Southern Sea to punish her. However, Southern Sea just kept staring, not punishing her at all. However, she pretended to be kneeling on the ground, pretending as if nothing had happened.

She knew that using the official seal of the imperial government without permission was a huge crime. Even the lightest punishment would be dozens of punishments, and the worst would be not being able to become an official for the rest of one's life.

After a long while, Nanhai retracted his gaze from Zhining, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"No, I don't dare to tell others about such a huge matter, lest others get involved." ZhiNing respectfully replied to the Southern Ocean.

"You can leave first." Nanhai lightly said to Zhining.

ZhiNing couldn't help but raise her head and look towards the Southern Ocean, wasn't he punishing her?

"Why aren't you going down?" Nanhai asked back without even glancing at Zhining.

ZhiNing froze for a moment, then stood up from the ground, "Your subordinate will take his leave." She turned and left the study.

Just as Zhining's hand touched the door of the study, she said, "Remember, next time!" Nanhai's calm words carried a hint of warning within them.

"This subordinate understands. I thank Lord for showing mercy to this impunity." Bi Zhining opened the door and left the study.

Nanhai raised his eyes and stared at the departing back of Zhining. He held a jade pendant tightly in his hand, which was under the table.

After Zhining left the study room, she turned towards the door of the study room, secretly admiring the Southern Sea. The Southern Sea was indeed formidable, actually being able to discover that someone had tampered with the document. But she did not understand why the Southern Sea did not punish her.

It was a sunny day today, and the warm, hot sun shone on the land, causing people to feel warm, which made Zhining feel even better. She stretched out her hands and slightly spread them under the scorching sun, only to find that her palms were steaming.

Zhining couldn't help but sneer. Even in modern times, she had never been this nervous before. In ancient times, she was actually this nervous because of an ancient man.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, ZhiNing checked the prisoners' stats in the database, firmly memorizing their physiques, their appearance, their origins, and the secrets they had committed. Perhaps they could be of use in the future. In her spare time, she once again went through everyone's information in the capital.

Just as she walked out of the room's door, a guard who had been standing guard outside the door walked up to her. "Constable Chen, this is bad. We've found a female corpse outside the western suburbs!"

Shocked, ZhiNing immediately performed her Qing Gong without thinking and rushed out of the western suburbs.

Outside the western suburbs, there were a lot of people who wanted to enter the city. They were all standing on their tiptoes, but they were all surrounded by a crowd of people, and it was almost red. A naked woman.

After hearing the praises of the crowd, the corners of Lord Qi's mouth slightly curled up. Go to his carriage.

Sihan, who had been coldly watching on from the side as Lord Qi solved his case, nudged Zhining, who was standing beside her, "This is enough, it's your turn now. Otherwise, that poor scholar really would have been wronged to death."

ZhiNing glanced at Sihan from the corner of her eyes. "But I can't do it alone. I still need your help."

Sihan pursed her lips into a smile. "Alright, then I'll help you this time."

ZhiNing immediately opened her mouth to correct Sihan. "Wrong, it's to help that scholar Zhan Fengyang." After finishing her sentence, ZhiNing instantly stood in front of the two constables who were carrying Zhan Fengyang away, ordering, "Let him go!"

The two constables were stunned as they turned to look at Lord Qi.

Lord Qi, who was about to get on the carriage, turned around and coldly looked at Zhining upon hearing Zhining's words, asking sternly, "Chen Zhi, what are you trying to do?!"

ZhiNing calmly looked at Lord Qi and slowly said, "Sir, Chen Zhi suspects that Zhan Fengyang is not the culprit."

Lord Qi's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He glared at Zhining and was about to say something …

Cheng Guan took a step forward and pointed at Zhining, shouting sternly, "Impudent, Chen Zhi, who do you think you are? How dare you deny Shuntian's judgement? "

Zhining ignored Cheng Guan's words and walked up to Lord Qi, cupping his fists in salute and said respectfully, "Sir, Chen Zhi only thinks that the case is suspect and that Zhan Fengyang has been complaining about the injustice." While speaking, Zhining glanced at Zhan Fengyang from the corner of her eyes.

"Chen Zhi, do I really need your guidance in this case?" There are evidence and evidence in this case, even if Zhan Fengyang denies it, he is still the murderer! " Lord Qi cut off Zhining's words with a cold voice.

"My lord!" ZhiNing raised her head and looked at Lord Qi in shock. She had not expected Lord Qi to be so decisive. She suspected that Zhan Fengyang was not the culprit, but Lord Qi rejected her words without even asking her. This made Zhining slightly angry.

"Chen Zhi, if you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Lord Qi once again cut off the words that Chen Zhining wanted to say with a cold voice.

"My lord!"

"Someone, capture that arrogant Chen Zhi for me!" Lord Qi looked coldly at the constable who had ordered Zhining to stand at the side.

A few of the constables looked at each other in dismay, but no one took a step forward. Chen Zhi was one of the constables beside the Chief Patrol Officer, so they all had some misgivings.

Seeing that the constables were still standing in their original position, Lord Qi was immediately angered to the extreme as he coldly asked the constables, "Still not taking Chen Zhi down?"

"Milord." Cheng Guan, who had been standing by Lord Qi's side, whispered to him, "Chen Zhi is a constable who's working for the constable. If you take him down, will you offend the constable?"

Lord Qi snorted coldly, "Chen Zhi has offended his superiors. He looks down on everyone, disrupting the order of the court and bewitching the masses with his lies. I am punishing him for the Chief Patrol Officer. The Chief Patrol Officer should be thanking me, so why would you blame me? Moreover, everyone here has seen that it was Chen Zhi who made the first mistake. It is only natural for me to take her down! "

Sihan couldn't help but snort coldly. This Lord Qi was actually so crafty as to use the bystanders to testify for him.

If the Chief Patrol Officer really blamed Lord Qi, then the commoners would stand up for him and speak for him without even having to cry out his grievances.

Cheng Guan quickly nodded his head, "Yes, yes. What sire said is true." He then raised his head and coldly asked the constables, "Didn't you hear the lord's order?"

The constables glanced at each other, then walked to Zhining's side and said in a friendly tone, "Constable Chen, please!"
