I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 112 Heavy punishment tonight

The Tsing Yi Department has a small number of people and has always been united. This is a well-known fact.

Cao An had just returned from Beiyan and was going to see him immediately. He obviously wanted to help Liang Qifeng plead for mercy. Everyone knew this.

The officials of the Third Law Department have prepared a lot of rhetoric. As long as Cao An pleads for mercy, they will immediately fight back. Today, they will suppress the arrogance of the Tsing Yi Department no matter what.

But now this opening of his mouth will directly send Liang Qifeng to jail? And he bluntly said that he wanted to be given a 'heavy sentence'? Even Sanfa Si didn't dare to say this. What grudges do you and your boss have?
  Mo Xiaoming, the young minister of Dali Temple, has been having a hard time lately.

When he left two years ago, Shangjiang City still regarded him as a role model for the younger generation. Unexpectedly, after he came back, Cao An would be the only one in the limelight in the entire court.

For this reason, he did not dare to take it lightly. After analyzing Cao An in detail, he found that this person's ideas were wild and unconstrained, and every time he was about to attack, he would always show an inexplicable smile.

Like now...

Mo Xiaoming felt that he could no longer be so passive, so he took the initiative and said, "Cao Shuixiu, do you think Liang Tisi is guilty? Was he killed?"

Cao An glanced at this person lightly, his method of guiding others to speak was really rubbish!
  With a sneer in his heart, Cao An replied calmly: "I don't think so. Will Mo Shaoqing let him go?"

"Of course not. The evidence is conclusive. How can we just let him go?"

"That's fine, I'm just doing business and helping to push forward the progress. Isn't it right for felons to be punished severely?"

The question turned into a rhetorical question, and Mo Xiaoming felt a little aggrieved.

But he couldn't respond. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it was beneficial to them.

After taking a look behind him, all the officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple nodded at him carelessly. Since the Tsing Yi Department came to his door, don't blame them.

Mo Xiaoming said loudly: "Your Majesty, what Cao Shuixiu said makes sense. Repeat offenders should be severely punished. Even if Liang Tisi holds an important position, he cannot bend the law for personal gain!"

Liang Qifeng, who was waiting for the verdict, was already numb. Even Ying Changfeng looked at Cao An in surprise.

If he hadn't firmly believed in Cao An's character, he would have wanted to yell. Aren't you trampling your own family to death?

Of course not. Cao An looked indifferent and had already made a plan in his mind. He just wanted to play a big game.

Pang Shi, who knew his talent well, watched quietly. He knew very well that the next moment was the time to fight back.

Sure enough, as soon as the Holy Emperor approved the investigation, Cao An immediately stepped forward and took out a new memorial from his arms.

"Your Majesty, I have written a note for you!"

Coming, Sanfa Si's heart trembled at the same time. Mo Xiaoming's hand was still raised. Did you fall out too quickly?
  Besides, now the Holy One has agreed to detain Liang Qifeng.

"Do you want me to take back my life?" Emperor Wan Jing looked at Cao An playfully.

"Back to the emperor, I am not pleading for Tisi, but I am begging your majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of Gong Shilang losing his official seal."

"What!!"

Cao An's sudden attack is to reopen the old case?
  The Minister of Punishment quickly stood up and scolded Cao An: "This case has already been decided. If you bring it up now, do you think His Majesty's verdict is unfair?"

Emperor Wan Jing was also uninterested when he heard about the case of losing his official seal.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was definitely not easy for Shilang Gong to bring the official seal into Jiaofangsi, and there must be some shady activities behind it.

But after all, as an official, who doesn’t want to reap some benefits?
  Emperor Wan Jing distributed the [Imperial Law] originally to let the officials taste the sweetness and serve loyally. As long as his selfish desires did not exceed his control, he did not bother to pay attention.

Now that Gong Shilang is dead, this matter can be settled here and there is no need to go into details.

But Cao An refused to give up. He bowed to the Minister of Punishment and said, "Sir, I don't think your Majesty's sentence is unfair. I'm just worried that your Majesty has been deceived by a villain."

"What do you mean?"

"Recently, I have found new clues. The mastermind behind this case may have subverted my evil intentions."

This beginning seems a bit familiar!
  It seems that every time Cao An's opening remarks are to subvert Chao Gang? Although Emperor Wan Jing was unhappy, he was still prepared to listen patiently.

Cao An presented the memorial and began to make up stories himself.

"This time in Beiyan, I interrogated the thieves and found out a big secret. That is, the real purpose of Gong Shilang going to the Jiaofang Division with his official seal that day was to make a deal."

"That's nonsense. Why do you need to wear an official seal when doing business?" Shangshu retorted sternly.

Cao An shook his head and said: "Of course it is not necessary for ordinary transactions, but he used the [Imperial Law] to exchange for a ring. The specific effect is unknown, but from the description, it is a black amber ring engraved with the word "moon"."

boom!
  As soon as Cao An finished speaking, Emperor Wan Jing had already started to take action.

The emperor's power was so overwhelming that all the officials in the room could not raise their heads, and the anger in their eyes seemed to have reached the critical point.

"Cao An, keep talking. Anyone who dares to interrupt will be dragged down and beheaded!"

The sudden rage frightened the Minister of Punishment so much that his legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground. He was the one who was checking his mouth just now!
  What is that ring? How could the Holy Spirit be so angry?
  There is no doubt that Emperor Wan Jing also knows about the Black Ring. Cao An just mentioned the appearance of the Black Ring and it already triggered a violent reaction, so that would be easy to handle.

Pang Shi must have reported the last black slave rebellion, but unfortunately the remaining gang members were all minions and couldn't get much valuable information out of them.

Unexpectedly, the ministers of the DPRK were directly involved in the black ring transaction.

Cao An calmed down, avoided the important and ignored the easy, and told the information.

"I have always felt that this case was strange, so I did not give up the investigation. From the analysis of many intelligences, it was another guest who made a deal with him that night."

"Why are you reporting now?"

"I have no right to intervene in this case. I can only inquire from the sidelines. I have just found clues recently. I still want to continue to investigate, but Gong Shilang has died in prison."

"What about the ring? Where is it now?"

"I don't know yet. I just know that there is an instigator behind Mr. Gong, at least a courtier. Because it is said that the [Imperial Law] demand for this transaction is not low, and he alone cannot complete it." After a few words, Cao An Then he explained the matter clearly.

But just these few words made the emperor's anger almost break through the roof.

Although there was not a word about Sanfa Si in Cao An's words, he still listened to every word and pierced San Fa Si's heart with a knife.

First of all, the case of losing official seal was taken over by Dali Temple. After being detained for so long, they didn’t ask any questions. I was helpless.

Secondly, there must be someone behind Minister Gong. Who can dispatch a Minister of Punishment? You can decide for yourself.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
  In an instant, all the officials of the Three Laws Division knelt down.

In particular, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were most closely related to the case and repeatedly stated that they had no knowledge of it.

"If you don't know anything about it, then what use do I need from you!" Emperor Wan Jing was furious to the extreme.

He grabbed the memorial in the eunuch's hand and threw it directly in front of the ministers. This momentum frightened everyone present, including Cao An.

Until now, he didn't know much about the nature of the black ring, he only knew that it could enter the Immortal Tomb.

But the tomb robbers also got in before! You didn't see any changes, right? Why was Emperor Wan Jing so nervous?
  I don’t understand, but the ministers of the Three Laws Department are going to suffer.

Looking at Cao An again, Emperor Wan Jing gave a direct order: "From today on, Cao An from the Tsing Yi Department will be responsible for taking over the case and reinserting the case. We must find out the culprit behind the scenes and recover the black ring! Pang Shi."

"The minister is here."

"If this case involves officials below the third rank, handle it directly and report the progress to me."

"Sir, obey the order."

……

The first court meeting in Cao An's life ended in such a storm.

No wonder people say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Look, how terrible it is when the emperor gets angry.

Fortunately, I was smart and took the credit first when the emperor was happy. When he got angry, everyone went to court in despair, and no one could get any favors from him.

Of course, Sanfa Division is even worse.

As soon as the court came, Cao An and Ying Changfeng left side by side, but were stopped within a few steps.

"Cao Shuixiu, please stay."

The officials who were very arrogant just now all came to talk to him. The boy Mo Xiaoming was squeezed directly behind him. In front of him were the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple.

Cao An was naturally polite and polite: "Hello, my lords! The office and I are going to Dongshi for tea and breakfast. Are you all going to go with us?"

"Hey, Cao Shuixiu! Why don't we have breakfast? Why didn't you... your information tell us in advance!" The Minister of Punishment was already anxious. He wanted to know who could best dispatch Gong Shilang. That's him.

He gave the former emperor his final glare. Thinking about it now, he still felt chills running down his spine.

Cao An looked at Ying Changfeng beside him in a funny way: "Master Shangshu, you have wronged me. Before I came back, I explained the matter in a flying eagle letter. Master, did you not mention it to all your lords?"

Knowing that Cao An was teasing me, Ying Changfeng also said coldly: "I originally wanted to mention it, but you adults want to mention the people from my Tsing Yi Department when you come up, so you don't have time to mention it."

Revenge, naked revenge, the two men's harsh words made the officials embarrassed.

They thought that by detaining Liang Qifeng, the Tsing Yi Department would at least bow its head and compromise.

Who knows that Cao An is even more ruthless? If you arrest me alone, I will arrest your whole family later.

Although Liang Qifeng is in their hands now, do you dare to use a whip? Back then, the entire criminal department was filled into the cell.

You can tell by looking at His Majesty's expression today that this matter is extraordinary.

If Cao An really wants to play dirty, I am afraid that the Minister of Punishment will be dragged into the water, so he must not act recklessly.

"Master Cao, let's not talk secretly. How about I find an excuse and let Liang Tisi go directly?"

"No, this involves Liang Tisi's reputation."

Shangshu's face turned green, thinking that Cao An was going to die together, but unexpectedly he changed the topic: "However, I can help solve the case and prove his innocence, how about it?"

"Of course you can. Cao Shuixiu is very focused on handling cases, so there will be no problem."

If everyone takes a step back and doesn't take any serious action, that is the best situation at the moment.

There were many people talking around, and Cao An didn't want to stay long, so he followed Ying Changfeng back to the Tsing Yi Department.

Everyone in the office was waiting for news, and when they saw them coming back, they rushed to greet them.

"Cao An, sir, what's going on with Liang Tisi's case?"

"Haha! Of course it's okay for Cao An to take action."

Ying Changfeng was very satisfied with the results of today's court, and the smile on his face never stopped.

After hearing this, everyone finally felt relieved, but when they looked back, no one was seen?

"How was it handled in the end?"

"Oh, Cao An asked the Sanfa Division to take him away and he will be severely punished tonight."

"???"
