The Return of the Demon

Chapter 1065 Someone Wants to Rob the Ministry of Justice

Yin Yi took the order and went to invite Li Zhixing in.

As soon as Li Zhixing entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and everyone had a gloomy face.

Geng Jing looked at Li Zhixing, "Master Li, are you here to see me for something?"

Li Zhixing was slightly startled and asked in confusion, "Didn't Geng Ziyi send someone to invite me?"

Geng Jing was also stunned, with a confused face, "Did Master Li make a mistake? I have never sent anyone to invite you."

Li Zhixing was puzzled, "No, a silver-clad person came to the Ministry of Justice and said that Zuo Xiang and others were colluding with some kind of Wan Guo. Geng Ziyi ordered me to come and assist in the investigation."

Geng Jing shook his head, "I have never sent anyone to invite Master Li."

"Then what's going on?"

Geng Jing shook his head, he didn't know.

Everyone looked at each other, they were all old hands in the officialdom, and they all realized that something was wrong.

Ji Mingchen said, "It seems that someone deliberately concentrated us in the Supervisory Department."

Geng Jing's eyes flickered, and suddenly he seemed to think of something? Looking at Li Zhixing, "Master Li, are you sure it was our Supervisory Department's Silver Clothes who invited you here? Have you checked his badge?"

Li Zhixing said, "He was wearing the Supervisory Department's fish scale clothes, and he came in your name, so I didn't check the badge."

Geng Jing's eyes narrowed, "Oh no, they are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Li Zhixing hadn't reacted yet, "What do you mean?"

Geng Jing said in a deep voice, "So they acted so high-profile to muddy the waters, so that we can't guess their true intentions, so that we can fish in troubled waters.

Master Li, all of this is an illusion, their real goal is the person imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice."

Li Zhixing's face changed drastically, and he also reacted at the same time, striding out, "Geng Ziyi, I'm going back to the Ministry of Justice first."

Li Hanru and others were all confused.

"Geng Ziyi, what's going on?"

Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "I was fooled. The World Government deliberately sent people to contact you in order to attract my attention.

Zuo Xiang, Lord Ji, and Lord Li all have the power to temporarily mobilize the city defense army... Only by trapping you in the Supervisory Department can they act with confidence."

Li Hanru frowned and asked: "What are you talking about?"

Geng Jing said word by word: "Someone wants to rob the Ministry of Justice."

"What?"

Li Hanru and others exclaimed.

Geng Jing hurriedly said: "My Lords, I will tell you in detail later. I will take people to the Ministry of Justice first.

Left Prime Minister, please send someone to ask for permission to block the city gate.

Lord Ji, please mobilize the city defense army to block the Ministry of Justice within a radius of ten miles.

I hope everything is still in time."

After Geng Jing finished speaking, he turned around and ran out, shouting: "Notify the first and second offices to all go to the Ministry of Justice, without any mistakes."

"Go! Go! Go!

Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly..."

Li Zhixing and several guards galloped on horseback, and his old bones were almost broken.

He galloped all the way back to the Ministry of Justice.

Li Zhixing turned over and got off the horse, staggering, and almost fell to the ground...After all, he was old and hadn't ridden for a long time, so his legs were weak from the shaking.

But he didn't care about these, and asked the yamen runner at the door, "Has anyone come to the Ministry of Justice since I left?"

"My Lord, someone came to the palace."

"The palace?" Li Zhixing was slightly startled, and then asked, "Who came?"

"It was a eunuch, with more than ten imperial guards."

"Where are they?"

The yamen runner said, "They left about an incense stick of time ago. When they left, they took a prisoner with them."

Li Zhixing's face changed, "What prisoner?"

"I don't know, Lord Zhou sent him out, Lord Zhou should know."

Li Zhixing rushed in and came all the way to the prison.

In the depths of the prison, there are several secret cells.

Secret cells usually hold serious criminals, and the cell doors are made of iron, with only a small window on the door for the convenience of delivering food.

Li Zhixing came to a secret cell, and when he saw the half-open cell door, his head buzzed.

He rushed in.

But where is the person inside?

Li Zhixing sat down on the ground...It's over, the person is lost.

The person imprisoned in this secret prison was Kang Xiao.

Li Zhixing's eyes were dull, knowing that he was in big trouble.

He didn't know Kang Xiao's specific identity.

But this person was escorted back from Xiguan City by Ning'an Army.

Ning Chen repeatedly warned and told them that this person was very useful and must be kept under close watch.

Ning Chen said so, so they naturally didn't dare to neglect it.

In order to ensure that this person would not have any problems, they played a trick to cover up the truth. First, they put the person in the prison of the Supervisory Department, and then quietly transferred him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice... thinking that no one would be able to guess it.

This time, it was all over.

The person was lost in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and his position as the Minister of Justice was over.

Zhou Hongfu and Ding Jianian, the left and right assistants, rushed over.

Seeing Li Zhixing fall to the ground, they were shocked.

Zhou Hongfu rushed over, "Mr. Shangshu, what's wrong with you? I'll help you up." As he spoke, he helped Li Zhixing up.

Li Zhixing suddenly came back to his senses.

He looked at Zhou Hongfu, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart, and asked: "Has the prisoner here been taken away by someone from the palace?"

Zhou Hongfu was full of flattery, leaning forward and said: "Yes! It was a eunuch who said that His Majesty wanted to conduct a personal trial, and the Minister was not here. I was also worried about delaying His Majesty's business, so I took the initiative to hand the person over to them."

Li Zhixing asked: "Have you checked the identity of that eunuch? Where does he work in the palace? Also, have you seen the imperial edict?"

Zhou Hongfu opened his mouth, speechless.

Li Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, "You didn't check anything, did you?"

Zhou Hongfu whispered: "The eunuch brought the emperor's oral order. I was afraid of delaying the emperor's business, so I didn't dare to ask more.

Sir Shangshu, what happened?"

Li Zhixing's head was buzzing, and he roared: "You idiot, you didn't check the other party's identity, and you dared to hand him over without seeing the imperial edict? Zhou Hongfu, do you have anything else in your mind besides flattery?

Have you ever thought about whether those people are fake?"

Zhou Hongfu His face changed, "No way? Who dares to pretend to be a eunuch? And he brought more than a dozen imperial guards."

Li Zhixing was numb and roared: "They dared to fake the imperial edict, what else can they not dare to do? Is it difficult to pretend to be a eunuch or an imperial guard?

Zhou Hongfu, the prisoners imprisoned here are extremely important. If they are lost, you and I will die."

Zhou Hongfu's face turned pale with fear, and he said in panic: "Shang, Shangshu, are those people really fake?"

Li Zhixing was too tired to complain, so he ordered Ding Jianian to send someone to the palace to inquire.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the lock of the prison door, he reached out and touched his body, and then angrily said: "Who can tell me how to open these three locks?"

He was worried about something going wrong, so he added two more locks to this secret cell... and he always carried the key with him.

The key was still on him, but now the three locks were opened.
