On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

"What? The Ministry of Punishment? You are a woman, and the emperor asked you to go to the Ministry of Punishment?"

The Wen family's rebellion was widely spread in Yong'an City. Just as Prime Minister Xu was secretly rejoicing that his uncle had left this place of right and wrong early and his daughter had not decided on a specific official position, the emperor sent Xu Shihuan to the Ministry of Punishment with a wave of his hand.

Xu Shihuan looked indifferent to this. When the emperor makes a decision, the ministers must be obedient. How can there be any room for bargaining?

"The Criminal Department is pretty good. There aren't that many intrigues, and it's easy to achieve political results."

Xu Shihuan opened his mouth to comfort his father, hoping that he would stop worrying about this matter. Perhaps Weimin was so worried that nothing could be done with just a few words.

"Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? Normally, it doesn't matter if you go to the Ministry of Punishment. But now the Wen family's rebellion has just happened. Why does the emperor ask you to go to the Ministry of Punishment at this time? Let you personally interrogate the old and young of the Wen family? Give it to you with your own hands. Do they use torture?"

"Also, don't worry about whether Wen Yidi is a biological child of the Wen family. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a member of the Wen family. The emperor did this, firstly, to separate Wen Yidi from our family, and secondly, he wanted you to leave a legacy to the outside world. It is an inhumane impression to destroy one’s relatives for the sake of justice.”

"Of course I know that it is the emperor's wish to go to the Ministry of Punishments. We ministers have no right to refuse. I just want you to be mentally prepared. I am afraid that the road ahead will not be easy."

After Xu Weimin nagged him for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore. He took out a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote a letter and handed it into Xu Shihuan's hand.

"When you go to the Ministry of Punishment, find an opportunity when no one is around and give this letter to Mr. Xiao, the Minister of Punishment. Your father and I are the prime minister after all, so he must give me some face."

Sure enough, after Xu Shihuan arrived at the Punishment Department, the entire Punishment Department, from top to bottom, looked at her as if they were seeing something unlucky, and no one dared to take the initiative to talk to her.

There was no other way, so Xu Shihuan had no choice but to bite the bullet, take the initiative to find Mr. Xiao, the Minister of Punishment, and quietly hand over his father's letter. Mr. Xiao originally looked cold, but after seeing what was written in the letter, his expression quietly changed.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Shihuan also started to murmur in his heart. Seriously speaking, there is a life between the Xiao family and her. Recalling that Xiao Yao sent someone to kidnap her and Wen Yidi, she and Wen Yidi teamed up to kill Xiao Yao.

After that, Xu Shihuan was also worried that the Xiao family would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for an explanation, but after waiting and waiting, what came was the news that Xiao Yao, the concubine of the Xiao family, died of illness in Zhuangzi.

"Sir Xu, it's not convenient for people to come and go here. Let's take a step to talk."

Mr. Xiao's sudden voice was polite and distant. When the two found a suitable place to talk, he showed a slightly panicked look:

"Sir Xu, my little girl Xiao Yao did do ridiculous things before, but everyone is gone, so please don't worry about it."

Hearing Mr. Xiao mention Xiao Yao, Xu Shihuan suddenly felt guilty. Although Xiao Yao initiated this incident, in the final analysis, she still killed the person with her own hands.

"Master Xiao, Xiao Yao and I were classmates. If it wasn't an emergency, I wouldn't have been so cruel to her."

After saying that, Xu Shihuan bowed to Mr. Xiao, and then carefully observed his expression. Although Xiao Yao is a concubine, there are fewer girls than boys in the Xiao family, so Mr. Xiao still attaches great importance to this daughter. Otherwise, she would not have been given the opportunity to enter a girls' school.

But the strange thing is that although the expression on Mr. Xiao's face is ugly now, he has no intention of blaming Xu Shihuan. This made Xu Shihuan curious about what was written in the letter her father gave her.

"Sir Xu, you don't need to blame yourself for this. After all, you are also a victim."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xiao glanced at Xu Shihuan with a strange expression, as if he was wondering whether to say what he was going to say next. After a while, he hesitated and said:

"Master Xu, what I am going to say next will be based on the matter. If there is anything that offends you, please don't take it to heart."

After Xu Shihuan nodded to confirm, Master Xiao told the truth about the matter. After Xiao Yao disappeared on Zhuangzi, Mr. Xiao also sent people to investigate carefully. At that time, he did not find Xu Shihuan's head, but found that Xiao Yao was close to several girls from the Wen family branch.

When Xu Shihuan and Wen Yidi had an incident, Prime Minister Xu was worried that the incident would have a bad impact on his daughter, so he planned to secretly send someone to erase the traces one by one.

But the strange thing is that someone rushed in front of the prime minister's house and handled the matter cleanly, seeming to want to hide all the truth. Prime Minister Xu felt uneasy and kept sending people to investigate. After wandering around for a long time, I found the head of the Wen family again.

Now, after seeing this letter from Prime Minister Xu, what else does Mr. Xiao not understand? Xiao Yao would do such a thing, and the Wen family's encouragement was indispensable behind it.

If something had not gone wrong along the way and Xu Shihuan and Wen Yidi were involved, Deng Wanyu, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, would have been married to the second son of the Wen family.

Even if the Deng family wants to hate, they will vent all their anger on the Xiao family. In this way, the Wen family naturally pulled the Deng family into their own team. The Xiao family has also become the scapegoat of the Wen family.

"Master Xu, since you are married to the eldest son of the Wen family, it is not convenient for me to say some things too bluntly in front of you. But you must be clear, the Wen family is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Now it seems that the Wen family has no room to struggle. But think about it, over the years, how many of the Wen family have used various methods to climb up to high branches. If the emperor orders the execution of the Nine Clans, the people in the court will I’m afraid the number of ministers will be reduced by half.”

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan said heartily that what Mr. Xiao was thinking was still not too far from reality. If the Nine Clans were to be killed, among other things, the life of the second prince Li Yunfeng would not be saved.

Seeing that Xu Shihuan really listened to what he said, Mr. Xiao finally said what he had been holding in his heart.

"Master Xu, to be honest, no one is willing to take on the Wen family's case this time. When he was convicted in Dali Temple, many colleagues took risks to intercede for the Wen family."

"After careful inquiry, I found out that some of these adults are married to girls from the Wen family, and some of them even have half of the Wen family's blood in their bodies."

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan also understood Mr. Xiao's concerns and said in a firm tone:

"Master Xiao, don't worry, except for my husband Wen Yidi, I will never intercede for anyone in the Wen family. Next, if there are prisoners to be tried, you don't have to worry too much, just make normal arrangements."
