Yuqing Garden.

In Li Xuandu's study, in addition to Li Xuandu, there are Lu Yanbing and Shangguan Wan. Both of them call him his senior brother, and they are also the chief and deputy of the inn's winter department.

Li Xuandu sat behind the desk and was looking at the records sent back by Shangguan Wan. There were also cases of the four ministers on the table, which were piled up like a mountain. These cases were originally sealed in the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office. After Lu Yanbing led Yun Chengzong and others to take down the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office, he took these cases out. When the Taoist sect retreated, he brought the case files back to Yuqingyuan with Li Yuanying.

During the second year of Tianbao, the King of Tang was still the prince and was not in the imperial capital. Instead, he was ordered to go to the army to take over Qin Xiang's military power and did not participate in the case of the four ministers. Therefore, Li Xuan agreed to let the King of Tang go and no longer pursue it too much.

But King Jin could not let go of anything. It was he who led the Three Justice Departments to convict the crimes and sent all four ministers to prison, so today he ended up being sentenced to death.

Li Xuandu whispered: "Xie Zhi, King of Jin, and Liu Yi, there is still one person left."

Lu Yanbing asked, "What did senior brother say?"

Li Xuandu opened a book of files and said, "Xie Zhi is the culprit. King Jin convicted the four ministers and sentenced them to death. Liu Yi ordered the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office to capture the families and subordinates of the four ministers. Among the Zhang family, Zhang Baiyue died of swallowing gold, so I won't mention it. I want to know who killed Zhang Baigui."

Lu Yanbing and Shangguan Wan looked at each other, but no one made any noise.

Li Xuandu opened another file and said, "According to the records in this file and my personal experience, Zhang Baiyue was the first to die. At that time, Zhang Xiang and Zhang Baigui were still in prison, and then Zhang Xiang was sentenced to death. After a while, Zhang Baigui was executed. Zhang Baigui, his first wife and young son were also sent to death together. Who gave the order?"

Lu Yanbing opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Shangguan Wan helped her to rescue her: "The Qingluan Guard Governor's Office has recorded in detail the case of the four ministers who were sentenced to death. It is impossible to skip this matter and not mention it. Since there is no file on it, it may have nothing to do with the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office."

Lu Yanbing looked at Shangguan Wan gratefully, nodded repeatedly, "It may also be related to the Three Laws."

"Three Dharma Departments." Li Xuan pondered for a moment, took out the case file at the bottom, and began to read it carefully.

Lu Yanbing and Shangguan Wan stopped talking and waited quietly.

After a long time, Li Xuandu closed the case file and said, "It was indeed handed over to the Ministry of Justice by the Qingluan Guard General Office. The six ministries were under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. The chief minister of the cabinet at that time was Sun Songchan. Although Sun Songchan opposed Zhang Xiang's new policy, the two had no grudges and would not have taken such a sarcasm."

Lu Yanbing thought for a while and said, "Sun Songchan was greedy for fame and praised himself as Qingliu. He would not do such a thing, nor would he leave such a handle. It should be because someone thought about the superiors and wanted to please Xie Zhi, so he took the initiative to execute Zhang Baigui and flatter Xie Zhi."

Li Xuandu leaned back on the back of the chair and raised his head, making people unable to see clearly: "Another 'smart person'."

Lu Yanbing looked at Li Xuandu and asked carefully: "Senior brother means..."

Li Xuandu said: "Find out this person."

Lu Yanbing said: "Since it is the Ministry of Justice, it is the Minister of Justice and the two Ministers of Justice at that time, so there are traces to follow."

"After finding it..." Shangguan Wan also asked.

Li Xuandu sat upright and said coldly: "Xie Zhi, King of Jin, Liu Yi and others are all enemies to the death, so I can deal with them according to the rules of the court and keep a decent person. Only this person, I don't want to deal with him with the rules of the court. I want to use the rules of the martial arts world to pay for his blood debts."

Shangguan Wan and Lu Yanbing looked solemn, and they responded in a deep voice: "Yes."

Li Xuandu waved his hand and signaled that the two of them could leave.

The two of them got up and left the study, leaving only Li Xuandu.

After Li Xuandu sat alone in the desk, there were tall files piled up in front of him, silently recalling the past.

Many people have forgotten that the Zhang family that Li Xuandu first met was not Zhang Suqing or Zhang Baiyue, but Zhang Baigui.

Shangguan Wan and Lu Yanbing left Li Xuandu's study, and Lu Yanbing sighed: "We are really hard-working."

Shangguan Wan said: "After that being said, it seems that the senior brother relies on us two."

Lu Yanbing recovered a little and said, "This is true. But in my opinion, it is not enough for us to be the only one of us. If it involves officials in the court, we still need to ask for help."

Shangguan Wan thought for a while and then understood: "You mean Senior Sister Murong."

"That's right." Lu Yanbing nodded, "She has been in the imperial capital for a long time and is most familiar with the officials of all sizes and big things in the imperial capital."

Shangguan Wan said: "It's not time to go see her now."

Now Mei Shenglin has realized that his wife's identity is extraordinary, but he is happy to see her success and only needs to have another way out. Therefore, Shangguan Guan and others don't have to hide it too much if they want to see Murong Hua.

Shangguan Wan first sent someone to pass on the message, and the three agreed to meet at Wutonglou.

Until dusk, three women came to Wutong Tower one after another. Because Murong Hua was the owner of this place, he directly asked someone to arrange a room on the top floor of the main building.

After the three of them met, they first politely greeted each other, and then got to the point. Lu Yanbing roughly described Zhang Baigui's story, and then said: "Senior Brother asked Senior Sister Shangguan and I to find this person, but we were not familiar with the officials in the court back then, so we also asked Senior Sister Murong to help."

After listening to it, Murong Hua pondered: "The six departments of the court, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue ranked first, and then the rankings were the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Justice were not high, but because of the Supervisor's Office, it was also extremely powerful. The Minister of Justice at that time was Shen Cangyan, one of the four ministers."

Lu Yanbing said: "This matter cannot be done by Shen Cangyan, so it is the two ministers."

Murong Hua said: "The left minister of the two ministers was Shen Cangyan with one hand, so after Shen Cangyan was imprisoned, the left minister was also dismissed from office."

Shangguan Wan said: "In this way, the matter has been understood very well and it has nothing to do with the remaining Right Assistant Minister."

Lu Yanbing asked, "Who is this person?"

Murong Hua had a very good memory, and only recalled a little, he said, "This person's surname is Liu, and his two names are 'Fengpan'. He is a distant relative of Junior Sister Liu of the Female Nun, but the two families don't have much contact. In the 28th year of Mingyong, Liu Fengpan passed the examination with the second place in the provincial examination. In the 32nd year of Mingyong, he passed the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy. In the 34th year of Mingyong, he was appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy. In the first year of Wude, Liu Fengpan was promoted to Youchunfang Youzhongyuan, and in the same year, he was promoted to Zuochunfang Zuoyude and Hanlin Academy. In the fourth year of Wude, Liu Fengpan was promoted to Bachelor of Hanlin Academy from Bachelor of Hanlin Academy to Right Assistant Minister of Justice."

Lu Yanbing said: "After reminding Senior Sister Murong, I remembered that when I was the right governor of the Qingluan Guard, this person was already the Minister of Justice. Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Murong could remember all this person's resume and have the ability to remember everything he saw."

Murong Hua said humbly: "It's just the achievements of 'Heavenly Conclusion'."

Shangguan Wan said: "Since Liu Fengpan is a distant relative of Senior Sister Liu, it is better to invite Senior Sister Liu over as well."

Nowadays, with Guan Wan as the core, many women formed an alliance, calling them sisters, Murong Hua, Lu Yanbing, Yuying, Liu Yushuang and Mu Qingci are all among them. Even Yao Xianglian, who is alone, will occasionally participate. However, Qin Su has a transcendent status and does not participate in this matter.

Murong Hua and Lu Yanbing nodded and said yes, and sent someone to invite him. Liu Yushuang was also in the city, not far away, and soon arrived in a hurry. After meeting with the three of them, she sat down at the table.

Lu Yanbing first described the incident and then asked: "Does Senior Sister Liu understand this person?"

Liu Yushuang did not hide her disgust and said, "I was in a bad situation back then, and my father and mother were seriously ill and were about to die. I was sold to the hospital. His family was wealthy, but he was indifferent and refused to help him. He also sat down and watched his parents die of illness. In order to pay his birthday to the teacher, he ignored his parents' funerals. Later, the wife brought me from the hospital to the female tribe and daughter and mother's funerals. Otherwise, I would be just a laughing woman in the hospital today. What kind of friendship has long been broken, and I wish I could not eat the flesh and blood."

Murong Hua continued to say, "That's it. This person's several promotions in the officialdom were all because of his favor. He once wrote poems to praise the Minister of Rites and Minister of Works."

Shangguan Wan said with some advice: "I look like a smart person to please you."

Lu Yanbing immediately understood the meaning of Shangguan Wan's words and said, "The four of us sisters are not the Three Juris, so there is no need to tell any evidence, so what I mean is, there is no need to talk nonsense, just take him over."

"Not appropriate." Murong Hua shook his head and said, "This person is the Minister of Justice, with a high position and a powerful position. He has a supervisory authority under his command, and there may be a master guard around him. Moreover, this person has a vast friendship in the court and is accustomed to changing hands. On the surface, he is a member of the Imperial Party and has friendships with the Confucian Sect. If he takes action rashly, he will probably attract the Confucian Sect to take action."

"With the best?" Lu Yanbing frowned, "It is really a good way to hang the sign of the imperial party and be able to secretly cater to the empress dowager in power."

Liu Yushuang sneered: "It would be better to say that you have to build a chastity archway after entering the yard, which is impossible for people to do."

Lu Yanbing agreed: "Opposite, opposite."

Shangguan Wan whispered: "It seems that we have to agree on a safe solution. Before this, no one should take action rashly to avoid alarming the enemy."

The other three nodded and said yes.

Shangguan Wan said again: "If I have to use force, I will mobilize people in advance. But the gentleman meant to find him, and he did not let us kill him."
