Chapter 1397: Shocking Confession

When the man heard this, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly replied, "Okay, we know what to do. Don't worry, we will take these people away right away."

Ye Zifen nodded and said, "Please!"

Then the team behind him moved quickly, came to the masters' position, and took over the task of escorting the prisoners.

The masters quickly made way, and after the people from the Ministry of Justice caught those people, Ye Zifen smiled and handed a small bottle to the person in front of him.

The man took the small bottle in confusion and asked, "Miss Ye, what is this?"

Ye Zifen smiled mysteriously and explained, "This thing may be helpful to you. It can make them speak the truth."

The man was still a little confused, but when he saw the fear in the prisoners' eyes, he seemed to understand something and quickly said, "Thank you!"

Then he waved his hand and asked his men to take the person in. After everyone entered the Ministry of Justice, Ye Zifen shook her head and said, "It's nothing. The person has been handed over to you and we will leave immediately."

The man said, "Please!"

Ye Zifen nodded and left with the masters.

After Ye Zifen and the others left, the Ministry of Justice seemed to have returned to its original state, but fortunately, the interrogation had already begun in the prison.

Although Ye Zifen didn't tell him anything, their adults had already told him some of the circumstances yesterday.

The people who went to the south to investigate the case have not returned yet, so it would be best if he could help.

When Ye Zifen and the others returned to Fukelai, the morning court session in the palace had just begun.

Sure enough, the content of the morning court was looting on the border. Just as the emperor expected, the ministers discussed and decided that the vanguard battalion would bring the captured enemy generals back to the capital to be awarded titles.

The emperor said: "Then issue an order to have all the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion go to the capital to receive their rewards. Leave the General Zhenbei to continue guarding the northern border."

Then he said to the chief eunuch standing next to him, "Also let the little girl stay. I guess she also wants to see them being rewarded."

The chief eunuch nodded and said, "I will pass on the oral order after I leave the court!"

Then the emperor suddenly looked serious and snorted, "The case in the south has been under investigation for quite some time! I didn't expect that we still haven't figured out the cause. When did the officials of Daxia become so useless?"

After the emperor said this, officials in the entire hall knelt down one after another, shouting, "We are guilty!"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The only sounds that could be heard were people's nervous breathing and heartbeats.

The emperor glanced at the ministers kneeling below him and said in a cold voice: "I gave you time, not to delay it. If you can't find out the truth, you and the few people who went south will be dismissed from office!"

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked. They kowtowed and apologized, saying that they would find out the truth as soon as possible.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling them to stand up, then turned to look at the Minister of Justice and asked, "Minister of Justice, do you have any opinion?"

The Minister of Justice stepped out immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the case in the south involves multiple local officials, and it is indeed difficult to investigate, but I believe that as long as we increase our efforts, we will be able to find the real culprit."

The emperor nodded. "Well, I hope so. But if anyone deliberately obstructs me, I will never tolerate it."

After saying this, the emperor stood up and announced the end of the court session.

Before leaving, he glanced at the Minister of Justice, then turned and left.

All the ministers stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off.

After the Minister of Justice retired from court, he returned to the Ministry of Justice. As soon as he walked into the gate of the Ministry of Justice, a person appeared beside him.

This man was the one who took over the prisoner from Ye Zifen. He was the confidant of the Minister of Justice and one of his most trusted people.

He whispered to the Minister of Justice, "Sir, the prisoners you mentioned yesterday have been sent here today. They are Japanese pirates. Fortunately, we have people who understand Japanese in the Ministry of Justice. We have also started the interrogation, but the prisoners are very honest this time. They confessed everything during the interrogation. There is indeed a big problem in the south."

When the Minister of Justice heard this, he was shocked and immediately went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

As he walked, he asked, "Are these prisoners so honest?"

The Minister of Justice was a little unconvinced. When did the Japanese pirates become so honest? They had interrogated the Fuso people before.

The man thought for a moment and said, "It may have something to do with the people who escorted the prisoners here. The girl in the lead handed me a small porcelain bottle, but there was nothing in it. But when the prisoners saw the small porcelain bottle, they were terrified. I guess they were tortured."

When the Minister of Justice heard this, he immediately stopped and thought for a moment before deciding to continue on to the prison.

He knew very well that before entering the palace to meet the emperor, he must first understand the confessions of those people and learn more about the situation in the south.

Therefore, he decided to interrogate the prisoners himself in order to obtain more detailed and accurate information.

However, he also understood that the matter was of great importance and needed to be handled with caution to avoid bringing himself unnecessary trouble.

When the Minister of Justice read the confessions of those people, he was suddenly filled with shock.

He was so shocked that he could no longer continue the interrogation and hurriedly walked towards the palace with staggering steps.

At the same time, Ye Zifen, who was at Fu Ke Lai, also met an important person - the eunuch beside the emperor.

When the visitor saw Ye Zifen, he smiled kindly and greeted her respectfully.

"Miss Ye, you've been waiting for too long! It's our family's fault!"

Ye Zifen was flattered and quickly responded, "But no! Such a generous gift is really embarrassing for me! Please come in quickly!"

Then she led the eunuch into her room in Fukelai.

After the eunuch sat down, Ye Zifen personally poured tea for him and said with a smile: "This is Fu Kelai's tea, it's quite ordinary. Eunuch, you have seen too many good things, so drink it for now, and don't think I'm not a good host!"

The chief eunuch had witnessed Ye Zifen's attitude towards the emperor with his own eyes, and now that he saw her being so polite to him, he felt flattered.

He quickly responded, "No, I don't mind... I don't mind! I've only been in the palace for a little longer. As for my experience, I'm afraid I'm not even one tenth of yours!"

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and then asked, "You are too modest! What about the border issues?"

The eunuch nodded in understanding and said softly, "Yes, the situation on the border has been decided. The emperor intends to have the soldiers of the vanguard camp escort the enemy generals to the capital to receive rewards to demonstrate the power of our dynasty. In addition, I am here today to convey the emperor's order."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen was shocked and quickly stood up and knelt on the ground to show her respect.
