His loud voice resounded throughout the Martial Palace, startling everyone.
The head of the Martial Palace, Consort Wu Hui's big brother, Wu Luokong, shouted in a dignified manner,"Who are you?"
"Minister of Justice, Li Rui!"
Li Rui smiled.
Wu Luokong sneered in disdain." I think you've come to the wrong place. This is the Martial Palace. Do you know who the Saints love the most?"”
"That's my sister, Consort Wu Hui!"
"If you offend the Martial Palace, my younger sister only needs to say a word in front of a Saint, and you will have to retire and return to your hometown.”
Wu Luokong did not know Li Rui at all. Moreover, this newly appointed Minister of Justice was really reckless.
Was the Martial Palace someone he could investigate?
Li Rui was expressionless. In his heart, the throne would be his sooner or later.
Sooner or later, the Great Tang would be his!
As for his older brothers, they were no match for him even if they were to join forces.
Therefore, he would clean up in advance so that he would not have to care about so many things when he ascended the throne in the future.
"Is Chang 'an now filled with people like you?”
Li Rui raised his left hand, and Cao Cao very naturally passed him a wooden stick.
Right in front of the crowd, Li Rui held a wooden stick and hit the country's brother-in-law. Wu Luokong crawled on the ground and cried out.
Wu Luokong rolled on the ground in pain. He first threatened,"Little bastard, you dare to hit me? You're dead meat!”
"Oh!"
Li Rui was expressionless as he continued to beat up his uncle.
To be honest, not only was Li Rui not afraid, he even wanted to laugh.
What would Li Longji do if he destroyed his entire family?!
Wu Luokong had threatened, begged, and even begged.
In the end, he realized that it was useless!
Li Rui broke his bones with the wooden stick before he stopped. He looked at the shocked Wu family members expressionlessly and said,"Who is Wu Zihua?"
"Are you Wu Zihua?"
Zhao Yun glared, the tip of her spear pointed at the youth in embroidered clothes under the horse.
The young man was frightened. He pointed at a thin young man behind the crowd and said,"It's him, don't…don't kill me!"
The skinny young man panicked and wanted to run.
Dian Wei carried him like a little chick and said in a low voice,"My lord, the suspect Wu Zihua has been caught.”
"Escort them to the Ministry of Justice and gather enough Dragon Balls…No, gather all seven suspects and kill them all!”
Li Rui threw away a wooden stick.
Martial Brother-in-law Wu Luokong was on the verge of death and had lost his mind.
Immediately after, Li Rui mounted his horse and rushed straight to the Zhang Manor.
The Zhang Residence where the Minister of Rites was located had more than a hundred servants. With his salary, he could not afford to support so many servants.
In front of the Zhang Manor, the Head Butler said sternly,"Who are you? Quickly dismount. This is the residence of the Minister of Rites, a third-rank official of the Great Tang.”
"Hmph, what a good Minister of Rites!"
Li Rui was fearless as he galloped towards the gate and said,""I am Li Rui, Prince Liang of the Great Tang. Today, I trampled on your Zhang Manor. What can you do to me?!”
"Don't hurt my master!"
Zhao Yun followed closely behind, her Dragon Shield Silver Spear whistling through the air, piercing through the servant who tried to sneak attack Li Rui, nailing him to the red door.
Dian Wei was furious. A loyal general had almost injured Li Rui right under his nose.
This infuriated Dian Wei!
Dian Wei waved his halberds and charged into the Zhang Manor.
Cao Cao laughed heartily,"Let the horse sing, how long will life be?”
"Cao Gong, this action offended all the important officials of the court. How can we get along in the future!”
Sima Yi had always been cautious and his expression was bitter.
Cao Cao laughed coldly." Zhong Da, you are acting in the name of Zhong Hu. In today's Tang Empire, the Sage is very suspicious. If not for my lord stepping forward today, the Sage would have killed the three Crown Princes!”
"My lord has the appearance of a dragon when he was young. After the three crown princes die, the next one will be my lord!”
Cao Cao explained.
Sima Yi was quick-witted and broke out in a cold sweat. He no longer dared to underestimate the young man who was riding his horse and singing.
This youth had offended all the important officials of the imperial court in just half a day.
Li Longji was completely relieved!
In the courtyard, Zhao Yun carried Zhang Heluo, who was drunk and lustful, and placed him on a horse. She cupped her fists and said,"My lord, the suspect Zhang Heluo has done it!”
"Send him to the Ministry of Justice!"
Li Ruidiao turned his horse around and headed straight for the Imperial Censor Shi Zuo's residence.
In front of the mansion, Li Rui had yet to arrive, but he held a strong bow in his hand. He drew the bow like a full moon, and a black arrow shot out with a whistling sound, nailing the stone mansion plaque.
The four guards at the door were so scared that their hair stood on end.
Li Rui galloped his horse into the stone mansion, ignoring the people behind him who were shouting in shock and anger,"This is the mansion of the Imperial Censor. Anyone who trespasses will die."
Today, Li Rui was only investigating a case!
With evidence, Li Rui dared to do anything to anyone!
Now that the Great Tang was in a state of prosperity, it was riddled with holes on the inside.
More than half of the 12,000 officials in Chang 'an were bought with money.
Most of them were empty positions. As long as the money was in place, they could even buy a fifth-grade official!
Li Rui took Shi Zongci and brought him directly to the Ministry of Justice.
After that, the son of the Minister of Rites, the nephew of the Minister of War, and the students of the Phoenix Pavilion were all captured by Li Rui.
Gao Lishi went to the Ministry of Justice first and did not manage to stop Li Rui.
Gao Lishi said in a trembling voice," My ancestor, why did you run away so smoothly? All the people you offended were officials of the third rank and above!"”
Gao Lishi ran to the Martial Palace and failed to stop Li Rui. He then went to the Zhang Residence and found it in a mess.
After making one last round, Gao Lishi rode his horse back to the Ministry of Justice.
At the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, seven good-for-nothings dressed in prison uniforms were tied up and pressed to the ground with beheading orders on their heads.
"Meng De, you announce the crimes of the seven of them!" Li Rui said indifferently with his hands behind his back.”
"As you command, my lord!"
Cao Mengde had a great time today. He turned around and shouted coldly,""Suspects Wu Zihua, Zhang Heluo, Shi Zongci…The seven of them were drunk and deliberately set fire to Linglong Lane in August last year, causing seven houses to burn down and nine people to die!”
"Two children, five adults died, and two were injured!”
" Violating the laws of Great Tang, beheaded!"
Cao Cao suddenly shouted.
Li Rui raised his left hand and shouted coldly,"Slash!"”
"You dare? My aunt is Consort Wu Hui. You, the Minister of Justice, dare to kill me?”
Wu Zihua roared at Li Rui in fear.
"I want to see my father!" Shi Zongci said in a trembling voice.”
"Prince Liang, you can't!"
Gao Lishi came back in a panic, sweating profusely and panting."Don't…don't kill me!"
"Why not?"
Li Rui glanced over indifferently.
Wu Zihua looked like he had seen his savior and shouted,""Uncle Gao, save me!"
"Uncle Gao, you have known my father for more than twenty years. Save me!”Shi Zongci hurriedly said.
The seven of them finally understood that this young Prince Liang was really going to kill them today.
Gao Lishi pulled Li Rui and whispered,"Prince Liang, do you know their identities?”
"I know. There's Consort Wu Hui's nephew, the son of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War, and people from the Phoenix Pavilion.”
Li Rui said lightly.
"Then why did you touch them?" Gao Lishi asked anxiously.”
"Slash!"
Li Rui replied to Gao Lishi with only one word.
