"It was your Chang'an County government who discovered it first."

"But you haven't filed a case yet, so how can it be yours?"

"Magistrate Cui, our Criminal Department and Dali Temple are both at a higher level than Qin County Yamen. It's time for you to go back."

Liu Yichen said with a smile.

I didn’t give Cui Yuanting much face.

Li Daozong didn't speak, but smiled at the side.

No refutation is the greatest support for Liu Yichen.

Both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple agreed that this place had nothing to do with the Chang'an County Government.

"I disagree!"

"The worst we can do is make trouble to His Majesty!"

Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.

He won't just let Fang Yuan go.

Since Fang Yuan cannot be taken away, he cannot be taken away by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Only by making the matter bigger and bringing it to the emperor can Fang Yuan be punished.

If he directed his security team to shoot so many people on the street, if there is no punishment at all, what kind of justice is there?

"Magistrate Cui, what do you mean by going to His Majesty's house?"

"These gangsters wanted to assassinate me. Is it wrong for my guards to kill them in order to protect me?"

Fang Yuan said calmly.

If you want to make things bigger, will it have an impact on you?

If there is an influence, it will not be a bad influence, but a good influence.

Today I am demonstrating the power of firecrackers in public, with the intention of shocking everyone.

Although I am just the Minister of Household Affairs, not everyone can bully me.

If there is a blunderbuss, even the five surnames and Qiwang can be tough, please don't mess with me.

"They are domestic slaves of the fifth surname and Qi Wang. They are not the gangsters you mentioned. Your people killed the wrong people!"

Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.

"Everyone present can see clearly whether he killed me correctly or not."

"My people have warned them just now, but they just didn't listen to the warning."

Fang Yuan smiled calmly.

What about the slaves with the surname Wu and Qiwang?

Even members of the Qiwang clan with the fifth surname have been killed by themselves.

"You are being unreasonable!"

Cui Yuanting only felt a headache.

I want to force it, but I have to consider the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Moreover, Fang Yuan has so many security guards here, force is not an option.

"Magistrate Cui, you are so unreasonable."

"Let's go, don't disturb our Dali Temple and the Criminal Department's handling of the case!"

Li Daozong said impatiently.

He also wants to win over more aristocratic families to build roads and communities.

I don’t have time to waste here with Cui Yuanting, so I finish my work quickly and leave.

Cui Yuanting clenched his fists subconsciously, furious, feeling that his dignity had been trampled on.

"Let's go, let's go, it won't be too late for your clan leader to get angry again in Chang'an City one day."

Liu Yichen waved his hand, urging Cui Yuanting to leave quickly.

She is the granddaughter of Liu Zhenghui, and she has some knowledge of why the patriarchs of the five surnamed Qiwang families left.

"I can leave, but I want to take these people with me!"

Cui Yuanting seemed to have been poured cold water on him, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Yes, now that the patriarch is no longer in Chang'an City, his prestige has dropped to a great level.

At this time, Cui Yuanting could not defeat the joint efforts of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

"How is Magistrate Cui going to deal with them?"

Fang Yuan said with a half-smile.

It is impossible to give it to Cui Yuanting, it is impossible for him to make decisions for them.

But if he didn't give it to Cui Yuanting, Fang Yuan couldn't find a good reason to give it to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

"This is nothing to worry about, Mr. Fang!"

Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.

He can't handle the matter of killing people with fire guns.

But he always has the power over these troublemakers in front of him, right?

Fang Yuan frowned and did not give in, but he couldn't think of a good excuse.

However, at this moment, a palace etiquette team came here.

The people who were still surrounding them all stepped aside and looked at the sudden appearance of the ceremonial team in surprise.

The appearance of the palace etiquette team means that the emperor has been alarmed, the emperor has arrived or the emperor's imperial edict has arrived.

"His Majesty's Oral Order!"

Eunuch Wang De said sharply.

"I'll wait for the order!"

Fang Yuan and others saluted towards Wang De.

Cui Zhentang's face changed as he was hiding in the dark, and he felt uneasy.

The emperor's oral instructions appeared at this time, either to support Fang Yuan or to target Fang Yuan.

If it’s the former, then you’re in danger; if it’s the latter, you don’t have to worry anymore.

"The matter of Cui Zhentang, the Minister of Household Affairs, who is addicted to copper smelting, is of great importance and seriously affects the quality of the empire's top officials."

"Please Sir Fang investigate carefully and find out the truth. Don't be afraid, don't cover up, stick to the end, and close the case as soon as possible!"

Wang De's sharp voice sounded at the scene.

Everyone at the scene listened, and their expressions changed drastically.

In other words, the emperor no longer ignored Cui Zhentang's addiction to copper smelting.

Although it is not said that there is still a law, when it comes to quality, there is no doubt that people will be held accountable.

Therefore, after Cui Zhentang listened to it, he immediately felt something bad and felt that the emperor was going to kill the donkey.

I had just reached an agreement with him, and he couldn't wait to do something to me. It was so hateful.

"Your Majesty Fangyuan, accept the order!"

Fang Yuan was probably surprised, but he was also overjoyed.

With Li Shimin's assist, it will not be difficult for Cui Zhentang to implement his copper-smelting addiction.

Wang De saluted Fang Yuan and everyone present, then left with the etiquette team and returned to the palace.

"Magistrate Cui, you have also heard that I have been ordered to investigate the case of Cui Shangshu's addiction to copper smelting."

"You need to avoid your relationship with him. You don't need me to remind you, right?"

Fang Yuan smiled and looked at Cui Yuanting.

"No need for you to remind me!"

Cui Yuanting no longer wants to be polite.

He snorted coldly and left with the people from Chang'an County Government.

Naturally, those servants of the Bolingcui family were also taken away by him.

"Both of you, I have obtained the evidence. Do you want to announce it directly or investigate further?"

Fang Yuan looked at Li Daozong and Liu Yichen and said in a deep voice.

The victims' family members were still following Fang Yuan, looking eagerly at Li Daozong and Liu Yichen.
