No one could predict what would happen in the future, but the Imperial Tutor wanted this small official to die, that was something everyone knew very well. However, to kill someone in the imperial court, he needed to do it in broad daylight. What is fair and square? It was a clear crime, or it was unforgivable.

The former required evidence, while the latter needed the Emperor Token. It was all for Wen Yuye's death!

This was the first time in Wen Yuye's life that he was ever on the throne room. Nangong Zui walked unsteadily beside him, and from time to time, he would look at him with a gaze of ridicule. Of course Wen Yuye knew that this fellow relied on the death-saving gold medal in his hands to be fearless. It was because even if this matter were to be investigated, it would not land on the Four-direction Sect, and the only unlucky thing would be him, a small county magistrate!

Look, look at the situation in front of him, look at the tight security in front of the throne room, you can tell how much effort Qi Yunshan had put in in just to kill him. He was just a small official that was as small as a sesame seed. He really couldn't afford to be so 'kind'!

"Ai, if we reach Caishikou, I will have the executioner lower his sword!" Nangong Zui took a deep breath, "After entering this throne room, I'll most likely send you off! But don't worry, I still have some wine in my wine gourd. You won't feel any pain if you drink a few mouthfuls! At that time, when my head fell off, it was just a surge of enthusiasm! "

"With Master Nangong's blessings, this official will do his best to protect his own head. At that time, I will also drink the wine at your waist. "In this way, it would not be a loss to make this trip!" Wen Yuye raised his head and looked at the tall green jade steps. In the eyes of the common people, how sacred was the majestic throne room? It was full of dignity. However, he did not know that there was no king in the throne room. It was really funny how the people of the imperial court played around with the civil and military officials.

When Wen Yuye entered the side hall, the imperial court and civil officials suddenly quietened down.

Zhao Jing, who was next door, was immediately stunned for a moment, and he slightly exerted some strength into his hand that was holding the cup. Wen Yuye, you finally came. Now that he had arrived, this show will officially begin! There was Qi Yunshan and Ke Bozhao in the hall, and only Dongfang Weiming the sh * t stick was missing. He reckoned that the "play" would be much more straightforward, as it would be a face-to-face battle between Wen Yuye and Qi Yunshan.

"This is Wen Chang County's Ninth Grade Zhixian County, Master Wen?" The one who spoke was Minister of Justice Lee Mingrui. Her arrogant attitude was as though she looked down on Wen Yuye and her tone was filled with contempt.

Wen Yuye bowed, he looked at the various masters and then raised his head and looked up, showing a brave smile and asked, "Isn't it the Golden Hall's business? Why are there so many civil and military officials in the dynasty, and not just these Sacred Monarchs who are above tens of thousands of people? "

They all looked at each other when they heard this question. Everyone knew that, but it was Wen Yuye's first time entering the Golden Hall, so they obviously did not know the reason. All the officials immediately started laughing at Wen Yuye's "ignorance and fearlessness".

Wei Shuge's face turned green the moment he heard it, "Your majesty, they are not putting you in their eyes at all!"

"What's the point of putting it in your eyes? You have to treat him like an ancestor and respect him!" Zhao Jing was also not annoyed, "But right now, we do not dare to let them take it easy on us, if they do, I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it. One Qi Yunshan is already enough to give us a headache, we do not have many people to worry about, we do not like the feeling of being targeted!" As the saying goes, one shouldn't be afraid of thieves, just be afraid of them thinking about them. The feeling of being remembered wasn't good at all!

Wei Shuge nodded his head, his words were not wrong at all. Judging from what the other party had to say, they would have to cause a huge commotion in order to calm down this life and death situation!

"Your Majesty's body is unwell!" Ke Bozhao replied slyly, "Moreover, this isn't the main hall of the Golden Chimes Palace, it's just a side hall! Master Wen, you should focus on your own right now. Don't worry about anything else! All the officials in the imperial court were watching with their eyes and listening with their ears. Whatever you say or do will be heard by the emperor, so it's best for you to be cautious, lest something bad happens and the emperor blames you for it.

His words were reasonable, and all the officials nodded in agreement.

Wen Yuye smiled and bowed, "Yes, Prime Minister is right. This official will speak very softly, and will definitely be cautious."

"Everything you say in front of the officials today, you must take responsibility!" Minister of Justice Lee Mingrui snorted, "We are also people who speak reason. If what you say is the truth and every sentence is the truth, then this matter will be easy to handle!"

Wen Yuye bowed, "Although this official is not talented, this official is still quite magnanimous. Of course, I hope that everyone can take responsibility for their actions and words. Whatever you see or hear today, they will be determined on the spot. If we were to leave this place and continue talking like that, even though I, Wen Yuye am just a small official, I will still try my best to argue and definitely will not let this matter rest! "

"Then show us your ability to speak!" Ke Bozhao frowned slightly.

Lee Mingrui took a step forward. He was the Minister of Justice, the one with the most authority. After all, he was the one who controlled the Ministry of Justice. Lee Mingrui sized Wen Yuye up from head to toe, and asked with a heavy voice, "I am the Minister of Justice, and may I ask Master Wen if Your Majesty has given an order just now that the case of the new top scholar be handed over to you?"

"There is indeed an imperial edict, but Sir Zuo, you are wrong. The Emperor issued an imperial edict regarding the murder of the top scholar, but it was not given to this official by myself." Wen Yuye said respectfully, he looked at the people around him and continued, "Prime Minister knows about this matter, and the imperial edict also includes the case of Four-direction Sect Overseer, if everyone does not believe me, I can open the imperial edict for all of you to see!"

Lee Mingrui was speechless, and turned to look at Ke Bozhao.

Where's Ke Bozhao? He acted as if it had nothing to do with him. What could he say? The imperial edict did say that Wen Yuye and Four-direction Sect were required to supervise this case, so there was nothing much to say about this matter.

Wen Yuye continued, Master Shang Shu, do you have anything else to ask?

"Since the case has been handed over to you, why haven't you found out who the culprit is yet? Do you know how the people of the capital talk? If this goes on, the Royal City will fall into chaos, and the hearts of the people will be filled with fear! " Lee Mingrui snorted, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to shake the hearts of the people?"

Wen Yuye smiled as he looked at Nangong Zui who was playing with the wine gourd, "Master Nangong, do you not want to say anything? They're saying that we've shaken the hearts of the people! "What are the consequences of this crime?"

Nangong Zui's act of playing dumb was the most amazing, after saying "yeah", he looked at the people suspiciously, "Shaking the hearts of the people? Why did he move? Who was the one who did it? Just based on the cases that my Four-direction Sect had supervised all these years, which one of them had aroused the hearts of the people? "

"Master Nangong, we are talking about the case of the top scholar!" Ke Bozhao looked at him coldly, "Don't talk about him so casually!"

"Left or right?" Nangong Zui sighed, "Everyone here is from the Prime Minister, there's no use trying to look around!" He smiled meaningfully, "Who made this five-day agreement with the Emperor? This official's memory is not good, why not Prime Minister give us a reminder? It's not even five days yet, is it? There was no need to be in such a rush! Are you in a hurry to be reborn? "

As he said that, Nangong Zui swept his gaze across the people in the hall. "I'm afraid that with so many people, Duke Yan will not be able to handle it!"

"Nangong Zui!" Qi Yunshan replied coldly, "What do you think this place is?"

Nangong Zui sucked his lips, as though he was still savoring the taste of the wine, "This is not the throne room, the Emperor is not sitting here, why is he sitting here? The Imperial Tutor was in such a hurry to seek justice for the Emperor. Tsk tsk tsk tsk … Imperial Tutor, aren't you afraid that the burden on your shoulders will be too heavy, and that it will crush your old arms and legs? "

"Nangong Zui!" Qi Yunshan sneered, "A sharp tongue is useless!"

"It's useless!" Nangong Zui swept his eyes across the crowd, "But Master Wen caught the culprit, what are you all joining in for? We were just waiting for our statement to be delivered to the heavens. How could it be a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths if we were to end this case? Imperial Tutor... Is it because we caught the murderer and displeased you? "

"This matter has nothing to do with this official. Why would I not be happy?" Qi Yunshan glared fiercely at Nangong Zui.

Nangong Zui had an expression of sudden enlightenment, "If there's no displeasure, then it's happiness!" He patted Wen Yuye's shoulder, "I'm happy for you, you won't die! Hurry up and bring him up so that everyone here can see what the murderer, who had killed three people in a row, and even the new top scorer, looked like! Furthermore, since the Emperor is not here, it cannot be considered as overstepping the boundaries. Therefore, I ask Imperial Tutor and Prime Minister to grudgingly take over on his behalf! "

Hearing that, Qi Yunshan's first reaction was to turn and look at Ke Bozhao. But Ke Bozhao only opened his eyes a little and did not say anything, as though he had a plan in mind, but at the same time, he pretended to be calm. couldn't figure out what exactly Ke Bozhao meant either.

"What are you still standing there for?" Nangong Zui rubbed his forehead, looking at Qiong Ying who had just brought them in.

Qiong Ying was stunned as she stood at the entrance of the palace. "Lord?"

"Isn't he following us? Let Xun Feng send him in! " Nangong Zui said.

Qi Yunshan's face darkened to the extreme, this meant that Nangong Zui and Wen Yuye were already prepared, thus, it was not his intention to kill this time around, but rather, it was Wen Yuye and his Four-direction Sect who had joined hands to settle this battle. In this way, Wen Yuye's name would definitely spread far and wide. To Qi Yunshan, this was not the result he wanted to see.

"Master Nangong, may I know how you caught the murderer? "Why is there no activity at all in the capital?" Ke Bozhao asked calmly.

Nangong Zui raised the center of his brows, "At that time, I would still be sick!" He pointed to the wound on his arm, "He's recuperating! Therefore, this matter was handled with the full power of the Master Wen, and the culprit was found by him. If any of you have any questions, Master Wen can please explain it all to you! "

Wen Yuye bowed to everyone. After all, in this place, his rank was the smallest. According to the rules of the imperial government, as a ninth rank official, he did not have the chance to go to the capital, let alone attend court meetings. Since the founding of the Da Xia Empire, there had never been a case where a level nine county official stepped into the Gold Hall. Wen Yuye was the first!

"These three cases may seem unrelated, but after this official investigated carefully, he found a fatal flaw. And these scars were precisely ignored by Jing Zhao Fu as well as everyone here. " Wen Yuye leisurely said as he walked over. The corner of his eyes drifted towards Qi Yunshan's face.

Then, he looked at Ke Bozhao, who seemed calm and composed!

"What traces?" Lee Mingrui hurriedly asked, in his heart he thought, where did this mistake come from?
