Princess Promotion

After Yao Chuguang left the hall, he told Xue Qing, "You guys go down first."

Li Yinhan: "Why don't you just let me put a sack on you and beat you up outside to vent your anger? Why make it so complicated?"

Li Yinhan is very familiar with this kind of thing. As long as he is careful to avoid being seen, he will be fine even if he is seen.

As long as he doesn't admit it, no one can do anything to him.

Yao Chuguang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Being beaten in a sack is not as satisfying as watching someone do it in person!"

Li Yinhan agreed with what he thought. Even if the princess poked a hole in the sky, as long as he was alive and the Li family was still there, no one could touch the princess.

Yao Chuguang: "Brother, I'll have to trouble you to go to the Ministry of Justice and keep a close eye on them, to prevent anyone from killing people to silence them."

When Yao Chuguang used to watch TV dramas, a common plot was that the criminals were killed as soon as they were caught in the jail.

This time she had people surround her in three layers, to see how the murderer would proceed.

Li Yinhan hurried out of the palace with his guards and headed for the Ministry of Justice. On the way, he even went back to the Duke's Mansion to bring back a marching tent and dry food.

When Lord Wu from the Ministry of Justice returned after receiving the imperial edict, Li Yinhan had already set up camp at the gate of the Ministry of Justice's prison.

Lord Wu saw an unprecedented scene. He had always been in the Ministry of Justice, which was responsible for suppressing criminals. He never expected that one day he would be surrounded by people due to the change in circumstances.

When Li Yinhan saw Lord Wu, he walked over and greeted him, saying, "Lord Wu just came back from the palace. He must be thirsty. Hurry up and have some tea and rest."

Although Li Yinhan had a smile on his face and his attitude was even polite, it was this ordinary greeting that made Lord Wu, a veteran in the officialdom, feel scared.

After Li Yinhan left, Lord Wu collapsed in his chair and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

At this time, Mr. Liu, an aide in the mansion, hurried forward and handed a cup of tea to Lord Wu. Lord Wu took several big gulps before he came to his senses.

Seeing Mr. Liu was like seeing the last straw. He grabbed Mr. Liu's sleeve tightly and said, "Mr. Liu, what should we do?"

Who is the eldest princess? She is the eldest daughter of the current Emperor of Qi. Not to mention the Li family behind the Queen, it is no exaggeration to say that even if the Emperor of Qi passes away in the future and other princes succeed to the throne, the new emperor will not be able to shake the position of the eldest princess.

This person, who could cause an earthquake in Qi State with just a stomp of his feet, was plotted against and even allied with the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

To accomplish this, there must be an insider in the palace or someone close to the eldest princess, who also has channels to contact the barbarians and can make the barbarians send troops. He is definitely not an unknown person in Qi.

With just these two items, Lord Wu can identify several suspects without even having to investigate.

The problem is that these noble families are more powerful than each other, and Lord Wu has to be respectful to them whenever he meets them.

Lord Wu doesn't even have the qualifications to summon and interrogate these people. Where should he start investigating? The confession of just one prisoner is definitely not enough.

No matter which family he offends, his career will end there.

It's like being hit by a knife if you stick your head out, and being hit by a knife if you hide your head. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the criminal must be a powerful person, or it is possible that several families are working together. If he just finds someone to take the blame, Li Yinhan, who was sent by the princess to follow him, can kill him with a knife without even asking for permission.

Mr. Liu pondered for a moment and then said, "In my opinion, Your Excellency, there are two paths to take, but each path has its pros and cons."

Lord Wu: "Sir, please speak quickly."

Mr. Liu: "The first one is to interrogate the criminal and find out who ordered him to do this. If we investigate further, we will definitely find evidence."

Lord Wu was a little puzzled: "Sir, why are you like this..."

When Lord Wu was halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he had no choice but to offend the whole family to death. Once the charges were proven and the case was solved, he would not only have made a contribution but also show his face in front of the princess. Wouldn't his future career be smooth sailing?

Lord Wu suddenly shuddered halfway through this beautiful dream. This was a gamble that would involve risking his life and fortune. If he bet on the wrong horse, the consequences would be the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family.

Those powerful families are not easy to deal with. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, let alone a big family in its heyday. Unless there is solid evidence, he will be courting death.
