The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Fortunately, the Minister of Dali Temple did not feel sorry for himself, give up on himself, or not do things well because of this. Instead, he performed his duties conscientiously, impartially, and adjudicated the case fairly.

Seeing Emperor Zhaoning's hesitation, Jiujiu asked, "Father, what's going on? Why don't you want to help the Minister of Dali Temple get promoted?"

"This Minister of Dali Temple, when I was investigating the case today, he was very face-saving and considerate of Jiujiu. In addition, he did things well, neatly and fairly. Jiujiu felt that he should be promoted."

[My father didn’t give me a promotion, is there any hidden reason? 】

[No, Jiujiu has to ask carefully. 】

[If you can help, it's best to help. 】

[Talents should be put to good use and given high official positions. Only in this way can talents be retained and the country prosper. 】

After Emperor Zhaoning heard Jiujiu's voice, he thought to himself that the little girl has really grown up and made progress. She knows how to know people well and make good use of them, and will not let talents be wronged.

Great!

The little girl was always his pride.

"Jiujiu, the reason why my father refused to promote him was because of the flower-picking robbery a few years ago."

"The flower-picking robbery case?" Jiujiu wondered what it was about.

"The essence of that case was to catch the flower-picking thieves. The Minister of Dali Temple also caught them. There were a total of seven flower-picking thieves. However, before the execution, he deliberately let one go and he has not been caught yet."

"I guess that person went to Jianghu again and caused trouble to Jianghu."

"When my father knew about this, he really wanted to kill Dali Si Qing. But the Queen Mother interceded for him, saying that Dali Si Qing was a descendant of her mother's family, a good official, dedicated to his duties, and good at solving cases. Don't kill him. And if you kill him, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a better person to replace him, so my father will have to keep him. "

"Let him be the minister of Dali Temple."

"But my father is still thinking that if I catch him doing something wrong in the future, I will settle the old and new accounts together and kill him. The fact that he let the flower-picking thief go is a big deal, and my father will never get over it."

"However, he has worked hard these years and has not made any mistakes. Even my father can't do anything."

【This is what happened! 】

[Let Jiujiu think carefully about whether it is written in the book. 】

[According to the temperament of the Minister of Dali Temple, he really doesn’t look like someone who let go of the flower picker in private. 】

[Ouch, Ouch, Jiujiu remembered it. 】

Emperor Zhaoning's eyes were filled with anticipation, and Jiujiu remembered something.

Of course Jiujiu wouldn't say it openly, she muttered in her heart as always.

[The flower-picking thief whom the Minister of Dali Temple let go back then seems to have been written about in the book. 】

[I vaguely remember that that person was not a flower-picking thief, but was replaced by someone else. 】

[The real last flower-picking thief is none other than the sworn brother of the Minister of Dali Temple. 】

[The Minister of Dali Temple did not want to implicate innocent people at that time. He also wanted to kill his relatives and arrest his sworn brother to close the case. However, his adopted brother's mother was seriously ill at that time and his life was hanging by a thread. He couldn't bear to hear that something happened to his son, so he felt compassion and let his adopted brother go for the time being. He did not arrest his adopted brother in time and bring him to justice before he was executed. Let the innocent man go. 】

[But later, after his adopted brother’s mother passed away, he privately led people to deal with his adopted brother. 】

[Strictly speaking, the Minister of Dali Temple did not show favoritism, but was very fair. 】

After Emperor Zhaoning heard Jiujiu's thoughts, he was a little shocked. The Dali Temple Minister actually concealed so many things behind his back about the flower-picking thief. No wonder he hasn't heard of the flower-picking thief doing evil in these years.

The Minister of Dali Temple was sensible and did not let the real murderer go, nor did he wrongly accuse a good person.

But, why didn’t the Minister of Dali Temple say anything?

Could it be that he was worried that he was too violent and cruel back then and would hold his family accountable for that incident, or hold his sworn brother's still-living family members accountable? That's why you didn't say it?

possible.

"Father, what are you thinking about?" Jiujiu looked at Emperor Zhaoning thinking deeply and ignored her for a while. She stepped forward and waved her hand in front of Emperor Zhaoning.

Emperor Zhaoning came back to his senses, "Jiujiu, what did you just say?"

"My daughter said that judging from the way Dali Temple Minister does things, he is not the kind of person who would indulge in flower-picking thieves for personal gain."

"There should be some hidden secrets in it, Father, why don't you check it out again?"

[If you investigate carefully, you will definitely be able to find out something about what happened back then. 】

[If the matter is clarified, the minister of Dali Temple will be promoted. 】

"Jiujiu, I understand what you mean." Emperor Zhaoning said, "I will listen to you and check it out carefully." If you follow the direction in Jiujiu's voice, I believe you will get the result soon.

"After finding out the secret, I will promote the minister of Dali Temple."

"We can't let our Jiujiubai speak anymore."

Emperor Zhaoning said as he looked at Jiujiu with a doting look on his face.

"Okay, thank you, Father."

Jiujiu is very happy. Today, she helped her father solve a major issue and helped the Dali Temple Minister get promoted. What a great merit!

[I don’t know why, now as long as I can do something that is beneficial to others, or help someone, I feel very fulfilled and very happy. 】

【Jiujiu is very happy and satisfied. 】

Emperor Zhaoning smiled when he heard Jiujiu's thoughts. He seemed to have the same feeling in his heart. He was very happy when he could do something for the people and prove that he was valuable.

But, happy as he is, he still has to abdicate.

The next day, the inside story of how the Dali Temple minister secretly let go of the flower-picking thief was found out, and the speed was shocking.

The official position of Dali Temple Minister was also promoted from the Western Grade to the Third Grade.

Everyone in the palace was discussing this matter.

"The matter concerning the Minister of Dali Temple was investigated the fastest I have ever seen. It was investigated immediately."

"Yes, things that have not been clarified for many years have been clarified now. The older our emperor is, the more agile he is in his actions!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be possible that the older you get, the faster you get? Someone must have given you some advice, so you checked it out so quickly."

The Minister of Dali Temple also thought so, but he didn't know who that expert was, who helped him clean up all the bad things he had done as an official for many years. From now on, no one would criticize him for what happened back then. You can hold your head high.

He really wanted to say thank you, but he didn't know who to say it to.

Who helped him get promoted?

What a good man!

The good man Jiujiu is worried about one thing at the moment, that is, what to do with the found body?

Also, why is Brother Dijiang missing?

What was he doing?

She had something to discuss with him, but she couldn't find anyone.

Dijiang appeared the next day.

Di Jiang brought back two pieces of news. The first was that Lu Xixi was dead. According to his investigation, Dong Buhan should have killed her. The three extra boxes of private salt should also be related to Dong Buhan.

The second news is that Dong Buhan went to Buzhou Mountain and pulled out the Longyuan Sword, which was so powerful that no one dared to pull it out easily. He was going to pull it out to deal with Xi Chu, the Southern Kingdom, and him and Ninety-nine.
