At the beginning, the empress will be the queen and eat soft rice to open the blind box

Chapter 16 The Contest in Front of the Prime Minister's Mansion

Xie Tang knew the big man with a short beard who was leading the team from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
"Ximen arrests the head, I don't know the case of the murder of the spirit beast dealer, what's the progress?"

The headhunter surnamed Ximen replied that there was no leakage,
"Commander Xie, I don't know about my lowly position. This case was handled by Deputy Chief Arrester Jin."

Xie Tang knew that he was unwilling to reveal, but there was nothing he could do.

It was the first time in his two lives that Yue Zhi was arrested by his uncle, and he found it strange for no reason.

"This head catcher, isn't he going to bring that... that shackle?"

The short-bearded man bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, forgive me, but I don't dare to be humble. The Empress is just going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to testify. How dare I put the shackles on my Majesty?"

Yue Zhi suddenly realized, "So it is like this!"

Ximen Catcher stretched out his hand to signal, "My lady, please get on the sedan chair, Commander Xie please."

Xie Tang nodded, and escorted Yue Zhi into a small sedan chair carried by four people.

It was also the first time for Yue Zhi to sit in a sedan chair, and he just thought it was fun to "flicker and flicker".

Four police officers carried the sedan chair, and Xie Tang followed closely beside the sedan chair.

The four guards she brought out, together with the four arrests sent by the Ministry of Punishment, scattered around the sedan chair for protection.

The sedan chair left Xuanwu Gate, crossed the streets and alleys, and came to Zuo Chancellor's residence in Xiudefang, Jinguangmen.

The Zuoxiang Mansion is magnificent, with a tall white marble gate tower, and the two doors are inlaid with bronze nails the size of a bowl.

On both sides of the gate, there are two gatekeepers standing on one side.

On the bench inside the doorway sat a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the servants.

Ximen Catcher, who was walking in front, raised his hand, and the sedan chair landed on the ground.

He walked to the door with his saber in hand, and bowed to the middle-aged servant inside the doorway:
"This old man, please report back to Mr. Zuo Xiang, Ximen Ruoshui, head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, begs to see him."

The middle-aged family member Ding did not even lift his eyelids, "Anyone who comes wants to see our old man, what do you think of my Xiao family?"

The prime minister is easy to see, but the slave is hard to be.

Ximen Ruoshui's face darkened: "I was ordered by Mr. Feng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, to have an important meeting with the Prime Minister. If I delay the matter, are you guilty?"

The middle-aged doorman was dubious, he hesitated to go in and inform him, but also felt that he had talked too much just now, and he couldn't come down.

While hesitating, a cold and majestic voice from inside the gate asked:

"Xiao Qi, why are you making such a loud noise at the door, what a shame!"

Following the words, a middle-aged man with a clear appearance walked out of the prime minister's mansion.

The middle-aged man was wearing a scarlet official robe of a fourth-rank official, with a cloud goose embroidered on his chest about to fly.

The middle-aged doorman hurriedly stood up, saluted and said: "My lord, this man said he is an arrester from the Ministry of Punishment, and he has something to ask to see the old man."

The middle-aged man looked worried, and said to Ximen Ruoshui: "I am the official counselor, Si Zanzhi Shao Yin Xiao Boyong, if you have anything to say to me, it's the same."

Ximen Ruoshui bowed and saluted, "See the head of the country."

This Xiao Boyong is the biological father of Empress Xiao Yuyi.

Xiao Boyong hummed lightly, "This head catcher, what's the point of making noise in front of my Prime Minister's residence?"

"I don't dare for a lowly job. The lowly job is the criminal department's arrest of Ximen Ruoshui, who is ordered by Mr. Feng, the servant. There is a murder case that requires people from your house to answer."

Xiao Boyong frowned, "Who in my Xiangfu is involved in the murder case of your Ministry of Punishment?"

Ximen Ruoshui was neither humble nor overbearing, "Lord Xiao, this is Miss Xiao Moyi from Xiangfu."

"Bold! The little criminal department bullied people too much, and humiliated my prime minister's mansion?"

Xiao Bo pouted his beard in a mediocre way.

Xiao Moyi is the daughter of Xiao Boyong's younger brother Xiao Zhongyu, or Yunying's unmarried Huanghua eldest daughter. If it is known that this is related to the murder case, how will she marry in the future?

Ximen Ruoshui smiled wryly, he knew that this trip to the prime minister's mansion would not go smoothly.

"Lord Xiao, you are also following orders in a humble position."

Xiao Boyong said angrily, "I know you are acting according to orders. If you, a little policeman, dare to insult Zuo Xiangfu like this, how can I keep your life alive?"

A person behind the criminal policeman laughed, "Master Xiao, who dares to insult the Xiao family in front of Zuoxiang's mansion? Could it be that he is impatient?"

Xiao Boyong turned his head to look, and stared inwardly.

An old man in his 50s came up behind the police from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Xiao Boyong squeezed out a smile, "Lord Mo, what wind brought you to the Jinguangmen Xiudefang?"

A smile appeared on Mo Yuan's thin face, "Lord Xiao, I passed by Xiudefang and heard someone insulting Prime Minister Zuo, so I couldn't help but come over to have a look."

Xiao Boyong forced a smile, "Lord Mo, you got it wrong, no one insulted Prime Minister Zuo."

Mo Yuan said loudly, "Lord Xiao, you don't have to worry about anything. You need to know that the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If someone insults the prime minister, I will not be able to forgive him."

Xiao Boyong took a deep look at Mo Yuan, "Lord Mo, it is true that no one insulted Zuo Xiangfu."

Mo Yuan was relieved, pointed at Ximen Ruoshui and asked directly, "So that's the case, I don't know why the officials from the Ministry of Punishment are sent to Zuo Xiangfu?"

Ximen Ruoshui bowed and saluted, "Go back to your lord, there is a murder case in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and you need the family of lord Xiao to go and answer."

Mo Yuan said angrily, "How dare you quarrel in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion for such a trivial matter, do you want the people of the imperial capital to think that the Xiao family is bullying others by relying on the power of the Empress and Zuo Xiangye?"

Ximen Ruoshui bowed his head, "The villain dare not!"

Mo Yuan pointed to the sedan chair behind him, "Your Majesty is reasonable, the Empress has agreed to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to testify, so will Mr. Xiao still protect his children?"

Xiao Boyong was so angry that he almost wanted to spurt blood, the two sang together and kept talking about the righteousness of the country, suppressing the Xiao family, forcing him to compromise.

He had a gloomy face, "Xiao Qi, go and get Miss San to come out."

The middle-aged disciple Xiao Qi didn't dare to neglect, and walked in quickly.

Xiao Boyong said gloomyly, "Lord Mo, the Xiao family will definitely repay the kindness today!"

Mo Yuan cupped his hands, "Mo is sitting upright, don't be afraid of Xiaoxiao's revenge!"

The two were exchanging swords in front of the gate of Xiangfu, and Xiao Moyi was brought out crying.

Sister-in-law Xiao Moyi's almond eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she saluted Xiao Boyong: "See Uncle."

"No courtesy. Mo Yi, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to answer with them. Don't worry, my son. With uncle here, if they try to frame you and beat them into tricks, my Xiao family will never let it go."

Xiao Moyi was a little relieved, "Yes, thank you uncle!"

Xiao Boyong told his middle-aged disciples, "Xiao Qi, bring a few people to protect the third lady. If you have anything to do, be sure to return it!"

He puts a lot of emphasis on everything.

Xiao Qi understood, "Yes, sir!"

Xiao Boyong sneered, turned and went back to the mansion.

Mo Yuan glanced coldly at Zuo Xiangfu, and walked away.

Xiao Moyi got into the sedan chair, and his servant Xiao Qi took four people to protect the sedan chair.

Ximen Ruoshui waved his hand, "Let's go back to the Ministry of Punishment."

A group of people walked in a single file, just when they reached the gate of Xiudefang, there was a sudden change!
