Zhou Xing thought that he would be arrested and sent to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
If he went to the Ministry of Justice, he was not in a hurry at all. After all, the Ministry of Justice had already been taken over by Wu Zetian. Entering the Ministry of Justice prison was like going home. He was super happy.
However, this place made Zhou Xing panic. After all, it was completely unfamiliar to him, and the prison was underground.
Originally, Gao Lishi's residence had a very spacious underground palace. There were some fruits, vegetables, and food stored inside for preservation.
There were also some fine wines offered by the various countries of the Western Regions.
Gao Lishi had stored them all in this underground palace.
When this courtyard was turned into the temporary command center of the Brocade Guard and the Dragon Guards, it was turned into a dungeon and a place for interrogation.
In this dungeon, even if the prisoner screamed until his throat was broken, the outside world would not hear a single sound.
"What is this place? Who are you?" Zhou Xing appeared extremely flustered.
"Cut the crap!" The two Embroidered Uniform Guards tied him to the torture rack.
Zhou Xing was so frightened that his legs trembled, and his body trembled.
In the past, he was the one torturing people. Seeing the prisoners 'painful expressions, he felt a heartfelt pleasure.
Now, he had become a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. His heart was tasteless and had an indescribable feeling.
Wei Zhongxian smiled sinisterly and asked Zhou Xing,""Tell me, how did you plan a rebellion?”
"Ah ~ I…" Zhou Xing was instantly dumbfounded. The label of rebellion was too big. This was a crime that would wipe out nine families and execute the entire family.
........
On the other side, Wu Zetian received news that Zhou Xing had been captured by a group of officials of unknown origins.
Wu Zetian's brows furrowed as her face turned frosty.
"Who is so bold as to arrest the Minister of Judicial Review!”Wu Zetian asked her subordinates.
"Not yet. According to Qian Bing, that group of people is led by Wei Zhongxian, and they hold the emperor's gold medal!”Lai Junchen bowed.
"Oh, there's actually such a thing?" Wu Zetian was suspicious, but she immediately recalled the news from the Imperial Guards three days ago.
"That's right, it should be the Dragon Guards that Li Zhi made!”Wu Meiniang said with certainty.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? Once Lord Zhou fails, we will completely lose the Court of Judicial Review.”Lai Junchen looked worried.
"Hmph, this Li Zhi is really good. He had already planned to deal with Zhou Xing, so he pretended to be polite and agreed to let Zhou Xing recover and resume his original position. Now, he is secretly attacking Zhou Xing!”Wu Zetian's graceful figure paced back and forth, swaying and swaying, giving people an infinite sense of beauty.
However, the officials below did not dare to admire the beauty of the world. They only dared to look down.
They knew that Wu Zetian was extremely ruthless to those who dared to offend her. In her opinion, she would never allow anyone to offend her with a glance.
Therefore, the ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to look up.
"That's right, I don't know who gave the emperor pointers. This lowly official has been investigating for a while, but there are no clues at all.”Imperial Censor Zhao Mingcheng frowned.
"Trash, all of you are trash. What use do I have for you?”Wu Zetian suddenly turned around, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. His powerful aura spread out, suppressing all the officials.
"Lai Junchen, as the Minister of Justice, I order you to gather your men and capture Yang Ye. As for the charges, I don't need to explain, right?”Wu Zetian looked at Lai Junchen and said.
Lai Junchen rolled his eyes, not understanding what was going on.
However, he quickly figured out the crux of the matter.
"Your Majesty's wisdom is extraordinary, this lowly subject truly admires you. This lowly subject knows what to do!”Lai Junchen's lips curled into a sly smile, which was very sinister.
He thought to himself, Empress Wu indeed has the spirit of an emperor, and her intelligence is indeed extraordinary. Now that the Emperor has captured Zhou Xing, we can just make up a crime and capture Yang Ye. Once we regain control of the Imperial Army, we can still threaten Li Zhi and force him to give up on punishing Zhou Xing.
"Your Majesty, your brilliant plan, this lowly official admires!”Imperial Censor Zhao Mingcheng said with a flattering smile.
Wu Zetian's lips curled up slightly. She was charming and charming, and she appeared extremely confident.
"Alright, all of you can leave!"
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
......
Many of the officials slowly retreated.
After Lai Junchen returned to the Ministry of Justice, he immediately led more than a thousand soldiers and two Wandering Cavalry Generals to the Imperial Army.
He had already thought of Yang Ye's crime and decided that he would be convicted of embezzling military pay. This crime would also be beheaded in the Great Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, he had already sent people to secretly tamper with the Imperial Army. There were many Wu Zetian's spies there, so it would be easy for them to tamper with the Imperial Army.
When the army arrived outside the Imperial Army, Lai Junchen immediately led his men in.
At this moment, Yang Ye was watching the soldiers drill on the drill ground.
At this moment, a large group of people suddenly rushed in.
Lai Junchen shouted," Commander Yang Ye of the Imperial Army, embezzled the army's pay. Your crime is heinous. I'm now escorting you to the Ministry of Justice!"”
When Yang Ye heard this, he was a little surprised, but he was not too nervous. After all, he had never committed the crime Lai Junchen had mentioned.
"Hmph, Lai Junchen, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I steal the army's pay? Don't slander me!"
(This chapter has been written for a long time. My mind is a little messy. I've sorted out the plot for a long time.）
