The next thing will be easy to handle. I can close the case in my own office without any trouble. Nan Yushu is the top leader. I will first submit the documents to him. As long as he uses the seal, I can ask the twelve chief editors to open the court for trial.
If she takes steady steps, one day she will be able to control the entire government. But it is better not to touch Nan Yushu for the time being. It is difficult for a woman to be in power alone. It is better to take someone else's place than to overthrow the Nan and then bring in the Bei. It is foolish to spend so much effort to help others.

But Nan Yushu stared at the petition for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at the cook kneeling in the hall, "Did he poison me? Where is the physical evidence? Where is the witness? You can't convict me based on just one sentence!"

This is weird, she looked at Dequan and asked, Dequan laughed awkwardly, "Well... we have a new female attendant in the palace, the superiors have said that the master should take care of her, these two are here to serve the daily routine."
He was deliberately making things difficult for her. If we talk about the cases handled by the Ministry of Justice in the past, they didn't care about the testimony of witnesses at all. As long as the judges confirmed it, they would be able to figure out the truth for you. Nan Yushu was also a loser. It was nothing to make things difficult for her in this matter. He didn't know that this case was done by his master, and it would be easier for everyone if he quickly handled it. But he was deliberately targeting Tang. If the prince knew about it, he would definitely kick him in the face.
After such a commotion, everyone was a bit interested in watching the fun. It would be a lie for the dignified Military Control Department to not have good tea. The good tea belonged to the commander and his capable captains. As for others, they could drink old tea or not, why would they be so particular! But it was okay to fool others, but the ministers who came out of the palace had never drunk that leftover tea. It was really a jerk to treat her as a club.
Xu Xingzhi and Jin Ci looked at each other and smiled: "Before you took charge, we had rested for seven or eight years, and we have rested enough. Just rest assured, leave everything to us, and nothing will go wrong."
The cook's confession was of course a feint. She couldn't just detain Gao Zhiya directly, as that would completely offend Prince Jian. She had to make the cook confess first, and then suddenly change his confession when he arrived at the Twelve Yamen. The twelve judges witnessed it with their own eyes. She was helpless and had to sacrifice Princess Xialing's lover. When she had time, she would go to Prince Jian and shed a few tears. He would have to consider that he would need the Su family later, so she had to suffer the loss.
Because the matter was of great importance, they had to ensure that everything was foolproof before the trial. The cook was taken to a separate cell and guarded by Xu Xingzhi and others all night. Xinghe stood outside the wooden fence, staring coldly at the cook who was huddled inside. His hands, which were covered with dirt between his nails, tightly grasped the cell door, and he looked at her with pleading eyes, "My lord, you promised to save my life."
She was still thinking about going to Lizheng Palace tonight. She had to check with the Crown Prince. She had arranged all the affairs of the Princess's Mansion to ensure that everything was safe. Besides, she had been busy in the government office for several days and had really neglected the palace affairs. She would always be suspected of being idle. She would report there, even if it was just to serve tea or water, and it would be considered that she had fulfilled her responsibility.
So he went back to his place and changed out of his office clothes. Although the official robes of the Jinyi Envoy were more feminine than those of men, they were still more masculine than feminine. The official robes of the female officials were different. The collars were wrapped with gold and silver threads, reflecting the crimson silk, like the necklaces on the chests of Buddha statues. There were trembling step-shakes on the crowns, and the tassels rustled in the ears as they walked.
She lifted her robe and went up the steps. As soon as she stepped onto the steps, she saw Dequan and two eunuchs waiting under the window. Dequan was holding his whisk as usual, and the other one was standing with a book. She felt strange, she had never seen such a posture before, so she went forward to ask the reason.
Xu Xingzhi and Jin Ci looked at each other and smiled: "Before you took charge, we had rested for seven or eight years, and we have rested enough. Just rest assured, leave everything to us, and nothing will go wrong."
But this Nan was too difficult to deal with. Xinghe sat in the armchair, holding the teacup and scraping the tea leaves. She lowered her head and took a sip, her mouth full of broken foam. She frowned and turned to ask the clerk below, "Is this Gaosui in my cup? When the people from the Twelve Departments came later, they also asked the adults to drink this?"
This is weird, she looked at Dequan and asked, Dequan laughed awkwardly, "Well... we have a new female attendant in the palace, the superiors have said that the master should take care of her, these two are here to serve the daily routine."
There are probably very few people like her. In their impression, women are delicate and beautiful like flowers. They are the only relief and comfort for these men with blood on their hands after they go home. But everyone in this world is different. This Jinyi Envoy is exactly the outlier. She manipulates power, forms cliques, and eliminates dissidents. She manipulates the whole department according to her own preferences. Maybe it won't be long before this yamen will be her world. The prince's pampering and indulgence are certainly one aspect, but the vigorous and resolute means are also the ladder to climb step by step.
"Of course." She rarely smiled amiably, "I'm not often in the palace now, so I'd like to ask my aunt to keep an eye on it for me. If anything goes wrong, I won't bear grudges." As she spoke, she stepped over the threshold and headed towards the main hall.
After she finished listening, she threw the teacup in her hand onto the tea table, spilling the water all over the table, and snorted, "The government has limited funds? It's ok for you to cry poor in front of the prince, but you are looking down on me by pretending to be stupid in front of me. I won't settle accounts with you. Since you are poor, you can use my salary to subsidize the government's tea expenses every month. The thousand households and the brothers below work hard, and they can't even have a cup of good tea when they are free. We don't want the imperial tribute, just ordinary small-leaf tea. Don't break up the old tea and try to cover up the matter. I won't let you do that."
The attendant in charge of chores immediately broke out in sweat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves while trying to smooth things over: "Oh, no, please calm down, sir. I will immediately ask someone to buy some good tea. The editors in charge of the twelve departments are all favorites of the emperor. I dare not ask them to drink Gao Sui..."
This is weird, she looked at Dequan and asked, Dequan laughed awkwardly, "Well... we have a new female attendant in the palace, the superiors have said that the master should take care of her, these two are here to serve the daily routine."
The clerk nodded and said, "Your Excellency, tea is used extensively in the government office. Several cases are often tried in a row. At night, strong tea is needed to refresh the mind. One brew is enough to make one tired. The superiors will not approve the use of good tea, and the government office has limited funds, so..."

One brew is enough to make one tired. The superiors will not approve the use of good tea, and the government office has limited funds, so..."
She nodded. "Thank you for your hard work tonight. Once the case is over, I will allow you to take two days off."
"What can I say?" She smiled, but her words were sharp as a knife. "Normally, the cases of princesses under the imperial edict are handled by the Jinyi Envoy. I can report the case directly to the emperor after I close it. But this is my first time handling it, and I'm afraid there may be some shortcomings, so I specially asked Lord Nan to take a look. Since Lord Nan said it's not appropriate, I'll keep it under control. If the prince asks about it, please help me, Lord Nan."
After she finished listening, she threw the teacup in her hand onto the tea table, spilling the water all over the table, and snorted, "The government has limited funds? It's ok for you to cry poor in front of the prince, but you are looking down on me by pretending to be stupid in front of me. I won't settle accounts with you.

Jin Ci ran up the slope and looked into the skylight. "It will be dark, around the beginning of the evening."
She didn't rush to argue with him about witnesses and evidence, but retreating to advance made Nan Yushu hesitate. He exchanged glances with the Qianhu next to him, and hated this woman in his heart. He tapped his fingers on the confession, and had no choice but to close it.
She walked out of the prison slowly and happened to meet several captains of Nan Yushu. When they saw her, they stopped and saluted her.
She didn't rush to argue with him about witnesses and evidence, but retreating to advance made Nan Yushu hesitate. He exchanged glances with the Qianhu next to him, and hated this woman in his heart. He tapped his fingers on the confession, and had no choice but to close it.

Nan Yushu was a little impatient and said in a cold voice, "It's not a big deal. Sir Su, please don't be too picky. Let's continue talking about the case."
After such a commotion, everyone was a bit interested in watching the fun. It would be a lie for the dignified Military Control Department to not have good tea. The good tea belonged to the commander and his capable captains. As for others, they could drink old tea or not, why would they be so particular!

Jiang Yi said, "It has been reported to the emperor."

In the dark prison, torches were always lit. Rosin was flammable, and the residual fuel would make a sizzling sound from time to time. The flame was like a flag, waving in the frozen air. She stood with her arms folded, tall and graceful. The brocade official robe had brilliant patterns, and her face looked so ruthless and indifferent.
"What can I say?" She smiled, but her words were sharp as a knife. "Normally, the cases of princesses under the imperial edict are handled by the Jinyi Envoy.

Xinghe sneered after hearing this, and signaled Jinci to take the prisoner away, so that he could deal with him later. "Psychological warfare is superior to physical warfare. Have you heard this saying? Handling a case is like fighting a war. Using your brain more will produce much greater results than just shouting and killing."
She lifted her robe and went up the steps. As soon as she stepped onto the steps, she saw Dequan and two eunuchs waiting under the window. Dequan was holding his whisk as usual, and the other one was standing with a book. She felt strange, she had never seen such a posture before, so she went forward to ask the reason.
But Nan Yushu stared at the petition for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at the cook kneeling in the hall, "Did he poison me? Where is the physical evidence? Where is the witness? You can't convict me based on just one sentence!"
After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."
Xinghe knew what she wanted. She was working in a government office full of tyrants, and she could not win the support of the people just by being nice. To establish her authority, she had to be ruthless to them if they were fierce and cruel to them if they were cold-blooded. She had to teach them what obedience was, so that the weapons could be truly used by her. But somehow, she suddenly thought of the prince, the only nemesis in her life, and she was often so angry when she competed with him. She should be happy to see him suffer setbacks, but the pain in her heart was hard to explain... This was probably the concern that they had grown up together and could not let go of.
"What can I say?" She smiled, but her words were sharp as a knife. "Normally, the cases of princesses under the imperial edict are handled by the Jinyi Envoy. I can report the case directly to the emperor after I close it. But this is my first time handling it, and I'm afraid there may be some shortcomings, so I specially asked Lord Nan to take a look. Since Lord Nan said it's not appropriate, I'll keep it under control. If the prince asks about it, please help me, Lord Nan."
It was a good thing, she smiled softly. Fang Youlin was convicted, and she had explained herself to Prince Jian. Nan Yushu had gone through so much trouble, but in the end he still worked for her. Thinking about it, it was quite pitiful.
She didn't rush to argue with him about witnesses and evidence, but retreating to advance made Nan Yushu hesitate. He exchanged glances with the Qianhu next to him, and hated this woman in his heart. He tapped his fingers on the confession, and had no choice but to close it.
She nodded, "As long as you follow my instructions, you will only be a witness in the end, and no one can do anything to you. But if you let something slip... remember, there are three knives outside, on your kid's neck, if you say something wrong, you will get a knife, and then no one can blame you."
Xu Xingzhi and Jin Ci looked at each other and smiled: "Before you took charge, we had rested for seven or eight years, and we have rested enough. Just rest assured, leave everything to us, and nothing will go wrong."
After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."
"Master Su has always been prudent in his work. Now that the murder case has been solved, let's report the results of Master Su's investigation." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at the cook in the hall and laughed dryly, "After entering the Control and Military Department, there is a 90% chance that there is not a single piece of good meat on his body. This guy is quite sensible and will go to the King of Hell with his head and face straight, so that the underworld will not be confused."
After such a commotion, everyone was a bit interested in watching the fun. It would be a lie for the dignified Military Control Department to not have good tea.

But it was okay to fool others, but the ministers who came out of the palace had never drunk that leftover tea. It was really a jerk to treat her as a club.
She sighed softly, tilted her head and asked, "What time is it?"
Because the matter was of great importance, they had to ensure that everything was foolproof before the trial. The cook was taken to a separate cell and guarded by Xu Xingzhi and others all night. Xinghe stood outside the wooden fence, staring coldly at the cook who was huddled inside. His hands, which were covered with dirt between his nails, tightly grasped the cell door, and he looked at her with pleading eyes, "My lord, you promised to save my life."

The cook was trembling with fear, and kept rubbing his head against the wooden fence, "I know what's going on, please don't touch my family... Please, sir."
She raised her head and closed her eyes, letting out a long breath. It was getting dark, and the sunset at this time of year always made people feel desolate and cold. Along the way, I heard the hawking of the street stalls before closing, "Half of the goods are sold out, selling at a low price, give more..." It was so lively that even if I passed by, I still felt out of reach.
She didn't rush to argue with him about witnesses and evidence, but retreating to advance made Nan Yushu hesitate. He exchanged glances with the Qianhu next to him, and hated this woman in his heart. He tapped his fingers on the confession, and had no choice but to close it.

She hummed, "Is Fang Youlin's case settled today?"
But Nan Yushu stared at the petition for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at the cook kneeling in the hall, "Did he poison me? Where is the physical evidence? Where is the witness? You can't convict me based on just one sentence!"

In the dark prison, torches were always lit. Rosin was flammable, and the residual fuel would make a sizzling sound from time to time. The flame was like a flag, waving in the frozen air. She stood with her arms folded, tall and graceful. The brocade official robe had brilliant patterns, and her face looked so ruthless and indifferent.
Nan Yushu was choked by her sarcastic words and her face turned blue. She didn't have time to pay attention to him. She turned back to the duty room and wrote a secret letter, which she handed to the sentry squatting outside the government office to pass on to Prince Jian. She earnestly asked the prince to rest assured that the turmoil in the princess's mansion would soon pass and would not affect the princess at all. Then she went into the corridor of Chengtian Gate and personally visited the chief writers of the five mansions and twelve departments, asking them to set up a court tomorrow to close the case of the assassination of the prince consort.
The two eunuchs bent their backs, smiled, and bowed with their sleeves lowered, saying, "To answer your Excellency, we are from the Jingshifang, and today we are recording the files in the East Palace."
The clerk nodded and said, "Your Excellency, tea is used extensively in the government office. Several cases are often tried in a row. At night, strong tea is needed to refresh the mind. One brew is enough to make one tired. The superiors will not approve the use of good tea, and the government office has limited funds, so..."
She hummed, "Is Fang Youlin's case settled today?"

His hands, which were covered with dirt between his nails, tightly grasped the cell door, and he looked at her with pleading eyes, "My lord, you promised to save my life."
She waved her hand, asked them to resign, and took the official sedan back to the palace. Now it was no longer just Ye Jinchun, with four sedan bearers, who had secured his position. The military guards of the Control of Military Affairs were there to protect the deputy commander. In fact, in terms of power, the Control of Military Affairs was really big. The guards of the five armies were on duty at the east, west and north gates of the inner city, and only the general of the Control of Military Affairs guarded the Chengtian Gate day and night. Chengtian Gate was the main gate of the imperial city. How much trust could be given to receive such an honor? This shows how high the status of the Control of Military Affairs was.
Is it cruel? Too many such things have happened in the Military Control Department, and it has become so common that it has become numb. However, the people in charge used to be men, but now it has been replaced by women, and the people doing the work under them are always a little trembling.

If she takes steady steps, one day she will be able to control the entire government. But it is better not to touch Nan Yushu for the time being. It is difficult for a woman to be in power alone. It is better to take someone else's place than to overthrow the Nan and then bring in the Bei. It is foolish to spend so much effort to help others.
The next thing will be easy to handle. I can close the case in my own office without any trouble. Nan Yushu is the top leader. I will first submit the documents to him. As long as he uses the seal, I can ask the twelve chief editors to open the court for trial.

In the dark prison, torches were always lit. Rosin was flammable, and the residual fuel would make a sizzling sound from time to time. The flame was like a flag, waving in the frozen air. She stood with her arms folded, tall and graceful. The brocade official robe had brilliant patterns, and her face looked so ruthless and indifferent.
He was deliberately making things difficult for her. If we talk about the cases handled by the Ministry of Justice in the past, they didn't care about the testimony of witnesses at all. As long as the judges confirmed it, they would be able to figure out the truth for you. Nan Yushu was also a loser. It was nothing to make things difficult for her in this matter. He didn't know that this case was done by his master, and it would be easier for everyone if he quickly handled it. But he was deliberately targeting Tang. If the prince knew about it, he would definitely kick him in the face.
The cook's confession was of course a feint. She couldn't just detain Gao Zhiya directly, as that would completely offend Prince Jian. She had to make the cook confess first, and then suddenly change his confession when he arrived at the Twelve Yamen. The twelve judges witnessed it with their own eyes. She was helpless and had to sacrifice Princess Xialing's lover. When she had time, she would go to Prince Jian and shed a few tears. He would have to consider that he would need the Su family later, so she had to suffer the loss.
After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."
After she finished listening, she threw the teacup in her hand onto the tea table, spilling the water all over the table, and snorted, "The government has limited funds? It's ok for you to cry poor in front of the prince, but you are looking down on me by pretending to be stupid in front of me. I won't settle accounts with you. Since you are poor, you can use my salary to subsidize the government's tea expenses every month. The thousand households and the brothers below work hard, and they can't even have a cup of good tea when they are free. We don't want the imperial tribute, just ordinary small-leaf tea. Don't break up the old tea and try to cover up the matter. I won't let you do that."
She raised her head and closed her eyes, letting out a long breath. It was getting dark, and the sunset at this time of year always made people feel desolate and cold. Along the way, I heard the hawking of the street stalls before closing, "Half of the goods are sold out, selling at a low price, give more..." It was so lively that even if I passed by, I still felt out of reach.
The clerk nodded and said, "Your Excellency, tea is used extensively in the government office. Several cases are often tried in a row. At night, strong tea is needed to refresh the mind. One brew is enough to make one tired. The superiors will not approve the use of good tea, and the government office has limited funds, so..."
There are probably very few people like her. In their impression, women are delicate and beautiful like flowers. They are the only relief and comfort for these men with blood on their hands after they go home. But everyone in this world is different. This Jinyi Envoy is exactly the outlier. She manipulates power, forms cliques, and eliminates dissidents. She manipulates the whole department according to her own preferences. Maybe it won't be long before this yamen will be her world. The prince's pampering and indulgence are certainly one aspect, but the vigorous and resolute means are also the ladder to climb step by step.
"Of course." She rarely smiled amiably, "I'm not often in the palace now, so I'd like to ask my aunt to keep an eye on it for me. If anything goes wrong, I won't bear grudges." As she spoke, she stepped over the threshold and headed towards the main hall.
The cook was trembling with fear, and kept rubbing his head against the wooden fence, "I know what's going on, please don't touch my family... Please, sir."
She was still thinking about going to Lizheng Palace tonight. She had to check with the Crown Prince. She had arranged all the affairs of the Princess's Mansion to ensure that everything was safe. Besides, she had been busy in the government office for several days and had really neglected the palace affairs. She would always be suspected of being idle. She would report there, even if it was just to serve tea or water, and it would be considered that she had fulfilled her responsibility.
Nan Yushu was choked by her sarcastic words and her face turned blue. She didn't have time to pay attention to him. She turned back to the duty room and wrote a secret letter, which she handed to the sentry squatting outside the government office to pass on to Prince Jian. She earnestly asked the prince to rest assured that the turmoil in the princess's mansion would soon pass and would not affect the princess at all. Then she went into the corridor of Chengtian Gate and personally visited the chief writers of the five mansions and twelve departments, asking them to set up a court tomorrow to close the case of the assassination of the prince consort.
After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."
Xinghe knew what she wanted. She was working in a government office full of tyrants, and she could not win the support of the people just by being nice. To establish her authority, she had to be ruthless to them if they were fierce and cruel to them if they were cold-blooded. She had to teach them what obedience was, so that the weapons could be truly used by her. But somehow, she suddenly thought of the prince, the only nemesis in her life, and she was often so angry when she competed with him. She should be happy to see him suffer setbacks, but the pain in her heart was hard to explain... This was probably the concern that they had grown up together and could not let go of.
It was a good thing, she smiled softly. Fang Youlin was convicted, and she had explained herself to Prince Jian. Nan Yushu had gone through so much trouble, but in the end he still worked for her. Thinking about it, it was quite pitiful.
She sighed softly, tilted her head and asked, "What time is it?"
She raised her head and closed her eyes, letting out a long breath. It was getting dark, and the sunset at this time of year always made people feel desolate and cold. Along the way, I heard the hawking of the street stalls before closing, "Half of the goods are sold out, selling at a low price, give more..." It was so lively that even if I passed by, I still felt out of reach.
She nodded, "As long as you follow my instructions, you will only be a witness in the end, and no one can do anything to you. But if you let something slip... remember, there are three knives outside, on your kid's neck, if you say something wrong, you will get a knife, and then no one can blame you."
After such a commotion, everyone was a bit interested in watching the fun. It would be a lie for the dignified Military Control Department to not have good tea. The good tea belonged to the commander and his capable captains. As for others, they could drink old tea or not, why would they be so particular! But it was okay to fool others, but the ministers who came out of the palace had never drunk that leftover tea. It was really a jerk to treat her as a club.
The cook was trembling with fear, and kept rubbing his head against the wooden fence, "I know what's going on, please don't touch my family... Please, sir."
"Master Su has always been prudent in his work. Now that the murder case has been solved, let's report the results of Master Su's investigation." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at the cook in the hall and laughed dryly, "After entering the Control and Military Department, there is a 90% chance that there is not a single piece of good meat on his body. This guy is quite sensible and will go to the King of Hell with his head and face straight, so that the underworld will not be confused."
She sighed softly, tilted her head and asked, "What time is it?"
She waved her hand, asked them to resign, and took the official sedan back to the palace. Now it was no longer just Ye Jinchun, with four sedan bearers, who had secured his position. The military guards of the Control of Military Affairs were there to protect the deputy commander. In fact, in terms of power, the Control of Military Affairs was really big. The guards of the five armies were on duty at the east, west and north gates of the inner city, and only the general of the Control of Military Affairs guarded the Chengtian Gate day and night. Chengtian Gate was the main gate of the imperial city. How much trust could be given to receive such an honor? This shows how high the status of the Control of Military Affairs was.
It was a good thing, she smiled softly. Fang Youlin was convicted, and she had explained herself to Prince Jian. Nan Yushu had gone through so much trouble, but in the end he still worked for her. Thinking about it, it was quite pitiful.
Jin Ci ran up the slope and looked into the skylight. "It will be dark, around the beginning of the evening."
So he went back to his place and changed out of his office clothes. Although the official robes of the Jinyi Envoy were more feminine than those of men, they were still more masculine than feminine. The official robes of the female officials were different. The collars were wrapped with gold and silver threads, reflecting the crimson silk, like the necklaces on the chests of Buddha statues. There were trembling step-shakes on the crowns, and the tassels rustled in the ears as they walked.

Jin Ci ran up the slope and looked into the skylight. "It will be dark, around the beginning of the evening."
Xinghe sneered after hearing this, and signaled Jinci to take the prisoner away, so that he could deal with him later. "Psychological warfare is superior to physical warfare. Have you heard this saying? Handling a case is like fighting a war. Using your brain more will produce much greater results than just shouting and killing."
After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."

But it was okay to fool others, but the ministers who came out of the palace had never drunk that leftover tea. It was really a jerk to treat her as a club.
She nodded. "Thank you for your hard work tonight. Once the case is over, I will allow you to take two days off."
She nodded. "Thank you for your hard work tonight. Once the case is over, I will allow you to take two days off."
Jiang Yi said, "It has been reported to the emperor."
Xu Xingzhi and Jin Ci looked at each other and smiled: "Before you took charge, we had rested for seven or eight years, and we have rested enough. Just rest assured, leave everything to us, and nothing will go wrong."
The clerk nodded and said, "Your Excellency, tea is used extensively in the government office. Several cases are often tried in a row. At night, strong tea is needed to refresh the mind. One brew is enough to make one tired. The superiors will not approve the use of good tea, and the government office has limited funds, so..."

She walked out of the prison slowly and happened to meet several captains of Nan Yushu. When they saw her, they stopped and saluted her.
She hummed, "Is Fang Youlin's case settled today?"
The attendant in charge of chores immediately broke out in sweat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves while trying to smooth things over: "Oh, no, please calm down, sir. I will immediately ask someone to buy some good tea. The editors in charge of the twelve departments are all favorites of the emperor. I dare not ask them to drink Gao Sui..."
It was a good thing, she smiled softly. Fang Youlin was convicted, and she had explained herself to Prince Jian. Nan Yushu had gone through so much trouble, but in the end he still worked for her. Thinking about it, it was quite pitiful.

The next thing will be easy to handle. I can close the case in my own office without any trouble. Nan Yushu is the top leader. I will first submit the documents to him. As long as he uses the seal, I can ask the twelve chief editors to open the court for trial.

Chengtian Gate was the main gate of the imperial city. How much trust could be given to receive such an honor? This shows how high the status of the Control of Military Affairs was.
The two eunuchs bent their backs, smiled, and bowed with their sleeves lowered, saying, "To answer your Excellency, we are from the Jingshifang, and today we are recording the files in the East Palace."
The next thing will be easy to handle. I can close the case in my own office without any trouble. Nan Yushu is the top leader. I will first submit the documents to him. As long as he uses the seal, I can ask the twelve chief editors to open the court for trial.
She didn't rush to argue with him about witnesses and evidence, but retreating to advance made Nan Yushu hesitate. He exchanged glances with the Qianhu next to him, and hated this woman in his heart. He tapped his fingers on the confession, and had no choice but to close it.
It was a good thing, she smiled softly. Fang Youlin was convicted, and she had explained herself to Prince Jian. Nan Yushu had gone through so much trouble, but in the end he still worked for her. Thinking about it, it was quite pitiful.

Along the way, I heard the hawking of the street stalls before closing, "Half of the goods are sold out, selling at a low price, give more..." It was so lively that even if I passed by, I still felt out of reach.
"What can I say?" She smiled, but her words were sharp as a knife. "Normally, the cases of princesses under the imperial edict are handled by the Jinyi Envoy. I can report the case directly to the emperor after I close it. But this is my first time handling it, and I'm afraid there may be some shortcomings, so I specially asked Lord Nan to take a look. Since Lord Nan said it's not appropriate, I'll keep it under control. If the prince asks about it, please help me, Lord Nan."
There are probably very few people like her. In their impression, women are delicate and beautiful like flowers. They are the only relief and comfort for these men with blood on their hands after they go home. But everyone in this world is different. This Jinyi Envoy is exactly the outlier.

The prince's pampering and indulgence are certainly one aspect, but the vigorous and resolute means are also the ladder to climb step by step.
The cook was trembling with fear, and kept rubbing his head against the wooden fence, "I know what's going on, please don't touch my family... Please, sir."
After she finished listening, she threw the teacup in her hand onto the tea table, spilling the water all over the table, and snorted, "The government has limited funds? It's ok for you to cry poor in front of the prince, but you are looking down on me by pretending to be stupid in front of me. I won't settle accounts with you.

The cook was trembling with fear, and kept rubbing his head against the wooden fence, "I know what's going on, please don't touch my family... Please, sir."
If she takes steady steps, one day she will be able to control the entire government. But it is better not to touch Nan Yushu for the time being. It is difficult for a woman to be in power alone. It is better to take someone else's place than to overthrow the Nan and then bring in the Bei. It is foolish to spend so much effort to help others.
The clerk nodded and said, "Your Excellency, tea is used extensively in the government office. Several cases are often tried in a row. At night, strong tea is needed to refresh the mind. One brew is enough to make one tired. The superiors will not approve the use of good tea, and the government office has limited funds, so..."

Because the matter was of great importance, they had to ensure that everything was foolproof before the trial. The cook was taken to a separate cell and guarded by Xu Xingzhi and others all night. Xinghe stood outside the wooden fence, staring coldly at the cook who was huddled inside. His hands, which were covered with dirt between his nails, tightly grasped the cell door, and he looked at her with pleading eyes, "My lord, you promised to save my life."
The next thing will be easy to handle. I can close the case in my own office without any trouble. Nan Yushu is the top leader. I will first submit the documents to him. As long as he uses the seal, I can ask the twelve chief editors to open the court for trial.

There were trembling step-shakes on the crowns, and the tassels rustled in the ears as they walked.
Is it cruel? Too many such things have happened in the Military Control Department, and it has become so common that it has become numb. However, the people in charge used to be men, but now it has been replaced by women, and the people doing the work under them are always a little trembling.

After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."
"Of course." She rarely smiled amiably, "I'm not often in the palace now, so I'd like to ask my aunt to keep an eye on it for me. If anything goes wrong, I won't bear grudges." As she spoke, she stepped over the threshold and headed towards the main hall.

She lifted her robe and went up the steps. As soon as she stepped onto the steps, she saw Dequan and two eunuchs waiting under the window. Dequan was holding his whisk as usual, and the other one was standing with a book. She felt strange, she had never seen such a posture before, so she went forward to ask the reason.

Dequan was holding his whisk as usual, and the other one was standing with a book. She felt strange, she had never seen such a posture before, so she went forward to ask the reason.
She didn't rush to argue with him about witnesses and evidence, but retreating to advance made Nan Yushu hesitate. He exchanged glances with the Qianhu next to him, and hated this woman in his heart. He tapped his fingers on the confession, and had no choice but to close it.
The attendant in charge of chores immediately broke out in sweat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves while trying to smooth things over: "Oh, no, please calm down, sir. I will immediately ask someone to buy some good tea. The editors in charge of the twelve departments are all favorites of the emperor. I dare not ask them to drink Gao Sui..."
She raised her head and closed her eyes, letting out a long breath. It was getting dark, and the sunset at this time of year always made people feel desolate and cold. Along the way, I heard the hawking of the street stalls before closing, "Half of the goods are sold out, selling at a low price, give more..." It was so lively that even if I passed by, I still felt out of reach.

She walked out of the prison slowly and happened to meet several captains of Nan Yushu. When they saw her, they stopped and saluted her.
The two eunuchs bent their backs, smiled, and bowed with their sleeves lowered, saying, "To answer your Excellency, we are from the Jingshifang, and today we are recording the files in the East Palace."
"What can I say?" She smiled, but her words were sharp as a knife. "Normally, the cases of princesses under the imperial edict are handled by the Jinyi Envoy. I can report the case directly to the emperor after I close it. But this is my first time handling it, and I'm afraid there may be some shortcomings, so I specially asked Lord Nan to take a look. Since Lord Nan said it's not appropriate, I'll keep it under control. If the prince asks about it, please help me, Lord Nan."
She walked out of the prison slowly and happened to meet several captains of Nan Yushu. When they saw her, they stopped and saluted her.
She sighed softly, tilted her head and asked, "What time is it?"
There are probably very few people like her. In their impression, women are delicate and beautiful like flowers. They are the only relief and comfort for these men with blood on their hands after they go home. But everyone in this world is different. This Jinyi Envoy is exactly the outlier. She manipulates power, forms cliques, and eliminates dissidents. She manipulates the whole department according to her own preferences. Maybe it won't be long before this yamen will be her world. The prince's pampering and indulgence are certainly one aspect, but the vigorous and resolute means are also the ladder to climb step by step.
She nodded, "As long as you follow my instructions, you will only be a witness in the end, and no one can do anything to you. But if you let something slip... remember, there are three knives outside, on your kid's neck, if you say something wrong, you will get a knife, and then no one can blame you."
This is weird, she looked at Dequan and asked, Dequan laughed awkwardly, "Well... we have a new female attendant in the palace, the superiors have said that the master should take care of her, these two are here to serve the daily routine."
The two eunuchs bent their backs, smiled, and bowed with their sleeves lowered, saying, "To answer your Excellency, we are from the Jingshifang, and today we are recording the files in the East Palace."
She was still thinking about going to Lizheng Palace tonight. She had to check with the Crown Prince. She had arranged all the affairs of the Princess's Mansion to ensure that everything was safe. Besides, she had been busy in the government office for several days and had really neglected the palace affairs. She would always be suspected of being idle. She would report there, even if it was just to serve tea or water, and it would be considered that she had fulfilled her responsibility.
After packing up, she walked along the long street and turned into the gate on the wall. She happened to meet the clothing bureau delivering clothes for tomorrow. When Aunt Wei saw her, she seemed particularly friendly and said, "I have come here several times, but I didn't meet Master Su. Now that you have been promoted, you are really busy."
Because the matter was of great importance, they had to ensure that everything was foolproof before the trial. The cook was taken to a separate cell and guarded by Xu Xingzhi and others all night. Xinghe stood outside the wooden fence, staring coldly at the cook who was huddled inside. His hands, which were covered with dirt between his nails, tightly grasped the cell door, and he looked at her with pleading eyes, "My lord, you promised to save my life."
