Chapter 39
"Hurry up and finish the case. Although the Queen Mother didn't give me a time limit, she will definitely not let me go if I keep procrastinating and making no progress."

Early the next morning.

Zhao made a mistake and came to the Execution Department Yamen in the dark.

He didn't go to the class where he was on business, but went directly to his father's confidant, Su Chengji, the deputy head of the Execution Department, Master Su.

"Your Majesty said that she will order the Execution Division to cooperate with me in handling the case. In addition, as the heir to the Duke Zheng's mansion, no one in the yamen will oppose me. However, my qualifications may not be convincing to the public. I must invite Uncle Chengji stood up for me and gave me courage."

Grandpa Zhao yawned. After thinking about it all day yesterday, he already had a general idea in his mind.

It is almost impossible to continue cultivating the road without joining the Taoist sect.

At present, he can only try to start with Mrs. Yan.

"Come in."

Zhao Cuo came to his uncle's living room and knocked on the door. After hearing the response, he pushed the door gently and walked in. The plain-looking deputy director was sitting in front of the table and looking down at the file.

"Uncle Chengji."

"No fault?"

Su Chengji raised his head when he heard the voice, looked at Zhao Cuo approaching with a smile on his face, and said in a teasing tone amidst admiration:
"What wind brought you, a young hero, to me?"

"Uncle's words really hurt my nephew."

Zhao responded with a wrong smile.

"On the first day he took office, he solved a major case, and what's more, the drugs that harmed all people were removed. Uncle has become stiff in speaking in front of the boss these days."

Su Chengji said half-jokingly.

"It's still too early to solve the case of Yinbi Painting Boat."

Zhao Cuo naturally entered the topic.

"I still have to wait for the empress to make her own decision..."

Su Chengji shook his head.

"Yesterday, the empress dowager called her nephew into the palace."

"how?"

Deputy Chief Su was taken aback for a moment.

"Your Majesty said, since I initiated this case, I will thoroughly investigate it to the end."

Zhao Cuo said helplessly.

"This……"

Su Chengji frowned suddenly, it wasn't that he looked down on his nephew, but is it appropriate for a third-class execution officer to coordinate the investigation and handling of such a big case?

"I came here this time to ask my uncle for help."

Zhao wrongly considered his words.

"Your Majesty gave me the right to mobilize the entire department. The imperial decree should arrive soon. I want to mobilize capable personnel from within the department to form a task force. This requires the cooperation of your uncle. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my nephew alone."

"It's Yizhi."

Su Chengji was a little dumbfounded when he heard his nephew unscrupulously referring to the Queen Mother's will as an imperial decree, and then said seriously:

"I'm your uncle, so it's natural to help you. Uncle can settle all the affairs in the yamen for you. It's your mother's will. If you want to come to Lin Zhangsi, you don't dare to trip us up."

He paused again at this point.

"The biggest suspect in this case, Mrs. Yan, has never shown up so far. If you touch her, I'm afraid it will affect the Master of the State Teacher. Once the fire-raiser enters the venue, it will be difficult to deal with. What did you say?"

"Your Majesty asked me to investigate as I wanted, without caring about anyone else. She will bear it if something goes wrong."

The last sentence was added by Zhao Cuo himself.

"It seems that the empress dowager is really angry."

Su Chengji did not raise any objection to his words, although this case was related to the Master of the State Teacher, but the queen mother is Dayu's sky.

"What do you want to do with this case?"

He asked Zhao Cuo.

"The purple-clothed girl who escaped on the Yinbi painting boat earlier, according to the madam, is the disciple of Mrs. Yan, you should immediately surround the mansion of the late emperor's widow and bring her back to the Execution Department for questioning, and you will surely gain something. "

Zhao Cuo said without thinking.

"anything else?"

Su Chengji nodded.

"The main suspect today is Zi Yi. She is most likely working for her teacher. Mrs. Yan's property is all over the world. If it is true that this woman is secretly selling cigarettes, then the execution department should be ordered to search all the stores under her name." .”

Zhao Cuo said and shook his head again.

"It's a pity that this case has been stalled for a few days, and the time to investigate the case has long been missed. Even if Madam Yan really has a ghost, she has already hidden the fox's tail."

"Your thinking is correct."

Su Chengji nodded approvingly.

"Wugui, you are under the imperial order of your mother. With the power of imperial envoy, it is not difficult to handle the case. You can be more ruthless in your actions. Our torturers just want to take the knife, and if we are soft-hearted, we will not be able to do anything!"

His tone became harsh.

"When the mother's order arrives, uncle will immediately mobilize the elite soldiers and generals in the Execution Department for you, and bring Mrs. Yan to justice first!"

Zhao wrongly nodded without interrupting.

"If there is anything wrong with her, all the teahouses and bars under her name will be closed down. Even if she is prepared, we can use torture to pry things out of her subordinates' mouths!"

Su Chengji's tone was cold, and after he finished speaking, he showed his usual kind smile, raised his hand and patted Zhao Cuo's shoulder and said:

"I'm just giving you some advice. It's up to you to decide this case. Uncle will have to listen to you once the mother's order comes."

"Just now you made some solemn and prudent remarks, but my nephew Mao Sai suddenly realized that I will trouble you to give me advice on many things in the future."

Zhao Cuo bowed his hands and saluted.

"What are you being polite to uncle?"

Just when the two were about to flatter each other, a soft drink suddenly sounded above the Execution Department's Yamen, it was a woman's crisp voice.

"All the officials of the Execution Department are here to listen to the orders!"

"Let's go."

Su Chengji stood up, and the uncle and nephew walked out of the hall side by side, and came to the front hall of the execution office.

The meeting place used for the mobilization has already gathered a lot of people, and the executioners lined up in an orderly manner, and the team is still growing.

Zhao Cuo met Lin Anmin, the current head of the Execution Department for the first time. He stood upright in the front, his face was old but majestic, his shiny black hair seemed to have been dyed, and he looked very handsome. There is a sense of righteousness.

"As expected of a person with the same rebellious spirit as me."

Grandpa Zhao also wanted to become a royalist, but the empress dowager told him he didn't want to, so he had no choice but to give up.

"The third-class execution officer, Zhao Cuo, stepped forward to receive the order."

When everyone had arrived, Feiwu, who came to deliver the message, said something that surprised everyone present, and looked at the handsome young man walking out of the crowd with puzzled eyes.

"The Empress Dowager has a decree to order the third-class execution officer Zhao Cuo to coordinate the investigation of the Yinbi Painting Boat case. The execution department will fully cooperate with each other, and there will be no mistakes. I respect it!"

The originally noisy front hall suddenly fell into dead silence.

From the bottom to the third class and up to the CEO, all eyes are wide open.

Such a big case should be handled by a small official who has only been in office for a few days?It's the young grandfather of the Zhao family!That's fine.
