At dawn, all the officials gathered in Taiji Palace.
The atmosphere in Taiji Palace had been particularly heavy because of Princess Chang Le's disappearance.
All the officials were cautious to avoid angering the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin, who was on the verge of exploding.
The middle-aged Li Shiming still had the same tall and sturdy figure as when he was young. His square face was pale and bearded, making him look even more solemn and dignified.
His eyes, which were originally full of energy, were now red and tired because of the three days of suffering.
"Have all the famous constables from the various prefectures arrived?”Li Shi Min asked as soon as he sat down.
Tong Wei, the official of the Supreme Court, hurriedly walked out."Your Majesty, the famous constables of the 32 provinces have basically arrived.”
"Oh?" Li Shi Min's expression changed drastically, and he said in a dignified tone,"Almost everyone? Is there anyone who is unwilling to share my worries?”
A trace of pride flashed across Tong Wei's slender eyes, but he still looked indignant.""Your Majesty, the constable sent by the Ji 'nan Prefecture to deal with the emperor's orders is only…just a young man. Moreover, he was extremely arrogant and had even unreasonably missed the Emperor's summons.”
Because of the disappearance of his beloved daughter, Li Shimin, who had always been wise, had lost his rationality. Hearing Tong Wei's words, he couldn't help but become furious,"How dare you…rebel against them. How dare you look down on me like this? Where is the Heavenly Policy Army? Immediately arrest the magistrate of Jinan and the constables he sent. I want to see how arrogant they are to dare to look down on my decree.”
When the emperor was angry, blood flowed into the oars.
None of the officials present dared to anger Li Shimin because they didn't know the reason.
Hearing the Emperor's order, Tong Wei, the official of the Supreme Court, smiled sinisterly, showing the pleasure of his revenge. Keke…How dare you offend me, Tong Wei? I'll make you die without a burial place.
Who knew that at this critical moment, a stern and righteous shout came from outside the hall,""Traitor Tong Wei, you've spread rumors and deceived His Majesty.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng had already entered the hall.
His stern voice resounded throughout the entire hall.
Hearing that, all the civil and military officials were confused. Only Tong Wei's face turned pale.
Li Shi Min was also confused,"Wei Qing, what do you mean?"
Wei Zheng had always been stubborn. He walked to Tong Wei, grabbed his collar, and dragged him to the center of the hall,""Tong Wei, are you going to confess to His Majesty, or should I explain your sins?”
Facing Wei Zheng, who was like a demon, Tong Wei tried his best to hide it, but his face was still as pale as paper. He stuttered,"This lowly official…I wonder what you mean? I have always been loyal to the Imperial Court and His Majesty.”
"Haha, what a loyal and loyal man, a mirror of heaven and earth? Since you're so stubborn, it's better for the constable of Jinan Prefecture, Su Che, to expose your crimes.”Wei Zheng shouted, turned around and said,""Ji 'nan Prefecture Constable Su Che, please come to the palace for questioning.”
"Ji 'nan Prefecture Constable Su Che, please come to the palace for questioning.”The young eunuch's high-pitched voice clearly traveled far away.
Su Che heard the summons and stepped into the hall.
After he bowed, he stood to the side.
Li Shiming and the officials in the hall were amazed by this handsome young man.
"Su Che, Wei Qing said you have something to report?”Li Shi Min revealed a rare smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Che looked at Tong Wei coldly and then told him in detail how Tong Wei had deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates yesterday and how he had embezzled his reception fee. And how she had used a trick this morning to deliberately leave him behind…
If it was during normal times, this would not be a big deal for an official. However, now was the critical moment for Li Shimin to gather all the famous detectives in the world to solve the case of his beloved daughter's disappearance. No matter how small the mistake was, it was still a big crime.
Moreover, at such a critical moment, Tong Wei still dared to take such a small amount of money. Wouldn't he be even more lawless?
Li Shimin was furious after hearing Su Che's story."Good, good. I didn't expect that the person who lied to the emperor was you, Tong Wei.”
Tong Wei was already trembling in fear. He fell to the ground and said,"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was just muddle-headed for a moment.”
At this moment, Wei Zheng walked forward again and reported in a sonorous and powerful voice,"Your Majesty, Tong Wei is not a fool. I have dozens of charges against him. Please send him to the imperial prison first and then investigate them one by one.”
"What else is there to investigate? Just the crime of deceiving the Emperor and framing a colleague was enough to destroy him.”Li Shi Min waved his hand, his face filled with killing intent."Where is the Heavenly Policy Army? Drag them out and behead them. Let the civil and military officials present see that this is the outcome of treacherous officials.”
"Yes." A team of Heaven's Policy Army soldiers in golden armor carried Tong Wei out of the hall like wolves and tigers.
