East Palace.

In the main hall.

Xiao Qi walked in quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, before nightfall, Fan Qian, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishments, have all been detained by the Criminal Division!"

Xiao Qi saluted and said solemnly.

After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frowned and looked solemn.

When he learned that Yushi Yumin and Ding Tingju suddenly exposed Guo Heng, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the case would involve two ministers from the six departments at the same time!

Then he truly understood the worries Hu Fei mentioned before, and he couldn't help but feel heavy.

"How's it going with Father?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, then sighed and asked.

"His Majesty's thunderous anger has gradually subsided, but he has issued an order to the Criminal Division to go all out to investigate the case. Any negligence will be severely punished!"

Xiao Qi frowned and answered slowly.

"What's going on with Hu Fei? Didn't he say he wanted to stop Wu Yong?!"

Zhu Biao asked loudly with a sullen face.

"There hasn't been much movement yet, but people have been sent to secretly monitor the Trial Division."

Xiao Qi replied slowly.

"Go there in person, tell Hu Fei, and ask him to stop all this immediately. I am worried that if all the government envoys from Taiping Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, and Beiping City are arrested, the people involved will probably More!"

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said loudly.

"yes!"

Xiao Qi agreed, immediately exited the main hall, and headed straight to the princess's mansion in the night.

Zhu Biao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face uncertain.

...

Early the next morning.

Trial Department.

In the main office, Wu Yong was crouching in front of the desk, sorting out the clues he had so far in Guo Heng's case, his brows furrowed and his face full of solemnity.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Pan Fu walked in quickly.

"Sir, everyone who went to Taiping Mansion and other three places have returned!"

Pan Fu bowed and said loudly.

"How's it going? We've captured everyone?!"

Wu Yong's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.

"They have all been brought back and are ready for your Lordship's interrogation at any time."

"Except those who went to Beiping City returned empty-handed."

Pan Fu hesitated for a moment and answered slowly.

"what happened?!"

When Wu Yong heard this, his expression couldn't help but change, and he asked in a deep voice.

"According to detailed reports from those who came back, Li Yu, the envoy of the Provincial Government of Peking, and Zhao Quande, the envoy of the Provincial Procuratorate and Procuratorate of Peking, suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown. They searched the entire city of Beiping but could not find them..."

Pan Fu frowned and said calmly.

"What?!"

When Wu Yong heard this, his expression changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

"what happened?!"

Wu Yong glared at Pan Fu and asked sharply.

"They must have received the news and fled Peiping before they were caught!"

Pan Fu frowned and replied.

"This is unreasonable, they are so brave!"

"Contact the state governments to strictly investigate the whereabouts of these two people, and declare that these two people are important witnesses in the Guo Heng case, and there must be no mistake!"

Wu Yong said sternly with a sullen face.

"yes!"

Pan Fu agreed and immediately turned around and left.

Wu Yong clenched his fists and frowned. He did not expect that someone would dare to abandon his official position and run away!

...

Outside the palace gate.

Jinyi Health Center.

Hu Fei was sitting in his office, quietly sipping a cup of tea. Although he seemed relaxed, his heart was always concerned about the progress of Guo Heng's case.

At this moment, Pei Jie came quickly and walked into the office.

"How about it?!"

Before Pei Jie could speak, Hu Fei asked impatiently.

"Commander, Wu Yong's subordinates sent to various places have returned. People from Taiping Prefecture and Zhenjiang Prefecture have been brought back to the capital to await trial. However, Li Yu and Zhao Quande from Peiping are nowhere to be seen. According to the information obtained by their subordinates,

These two people knew they were going to be arrested and had already fled Peiping beforehand!"

Pei Jie cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Escaped?!"

After hearing Pei Jie's answer, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but exclaimed.

This was something he didn't expect.

"Yes, after Wu Yong learned about this, he immediately went to the palace to meet with His Majesty and reported the matter to His Majesty."

Pei Jie nodded and said.

"Where are the others? Has Wu Yong found any more clues?"

Hu Fei looked at Pei Jie and continued to ask, with a serious look on his face.

"It's not clear yet, but I heard that Wu Yong is a very good interrogator. I'm afraid he has asked a lot of things."

Pei Jie shook his head and said solemnly.

"It seems that I must go and meet this selfless Wu Yong in person."

Hu Fei frowned and said thoughtfully.

"Commander, what should I do if this person does not listen to dissuasion? Will I report you to His Majesty?"

Pei Jie looked at Hu Fei and asked with a worried look.

"I hope he's a smart man."

Hu Fei curled his lips and said lightly.

Immediately, Hu Fei led the people out of the Jinyi Guardhouse and went straight to the Interrogation Department.

...

Trial Department.

In the main office, Wu Yong was sorting out the case, with a gloomy look on his face.

Although the case made further progress as the suspects were arrested one by one, his mood became increasingly heavy because more and more officials from the DPRK and China were involved in the Guo Heng case, and the amount of money that was embezzled was also increasing.

He was increasingly shocked.

At this moment, Pan Fu hurriedly rushed into the office. Before he could speak, a large group of people followed behind him and immediately surrounded the door of the office.

"what happened?!"

Wu Yong looked up, his face immediately darkened, and he asked loudly.

"Sir, the Commander of the Imperial Guard is here!"

Pan Fu didn't bother to salute and replied hurriedly.

After hearing Pan Fu's words, Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked into the office with his hands behind his back.

Wearing a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a nine thousand cold sling across his body.
