The silver gong-wielding official then said, "Three officials from the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Rites have gone missing, as have three palace staff members."
"But the rest are currently being held in the Ministry of Justice, and we are unable to interrogate them."
Su Nan then turned to Wei Yuan and said, "Lord Wei, aren't you going to do something about this?"
Wei Yuan calmly took a sip of tea and said, "You're the organizer, why are you asking me?"
"The Night Watchmen's Office and the Ministry of Justice have always been at odds. How to mediate is your business."
It seems Wei Yuan has no intention of interfering.
This is a problem that only the people of southern Jiangsu can solve themselves.
Su Nan sighed and said, "I am just a weak scholar with no strength to even kill a chicken. How can I mediate this matter?"
"If Lord Wei doesn't intend to intervene, sending me one of the '427' gold gongs shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Wei Yuan remained expressionless upon hearing this, but gave Su Nan a deep look.
What a weak and helpless third-ranking official, utterly powerless...
Since Su Nan didn't want to reveal his strength, Wei Yuan had no choice but to do her a favor.
“Xiao Rou, you will be my personal protector during this case. His words are my words.”
Nangong Qianrou seemed somewhat unwilling, but she dared not contradict her godfather.
"Yes, foster father!"
Su Nan put down the dossier in his hand and slowly stood up.
"Xiao Rou, let's go to the Ministry of Justice."
When Nangong Qianrou heard Su Nan call her Xiaorou, she was about to explode.
How dare you call her "Xiao Rou"?!
If her godfather hadn't been there, Nangong Qianrou would have thrown a tantrum on the spot.
“My words are the words of Lord Wei.”
"What, you're not listening to Lord Wei anymore?"
Su Nan glanced at Nangong Qianrou with a strange smile.
Nangong Qianrou glanced at her unmoving godfather and had no choice but to suppress her anger!
Well, Su Nan, I'll settle the score with you later.
Seeing his formidable rival Nangong Qianrou suffer a setback, Yang Yan's stiff face broke into a slight smile.
Southern Jiangsu... is quite interesting!
Wei Yuan's expression also held a hint of amusement.
……
Su Nan, accompanied by Jin Gong Nangong Qianrou and the messenger Yin Gong, rode swiftly to the Ministry of Justice.
Before an incense stick had burned, Su Nan saw the red-lacquered gate of the Ministry of Justice again.
He had been here not long ago, back when Zhou Li framed him and he was arrested by the Ministry of Justice.
Now, he has transformed into the organizer of Sangbo's explosive success.
Life is truly unpredictable, like a large intestine enclosing a small intestine.
The entrance to the Ministry of Justice was heavily guarded, with two rows of heavily armored soldiers standing watch.
One silver gong and six bronze gongs were seen blocking the entrance to the Ministry of Justice, confronting the armored soldiers.
"The Ministry of Justice is acting on imperial orders to investigate cases. Those who obstruct the investigation will be executed without exception."
The middle-aged officer at the head of the group, with one hand on his knife, reprimanded the night watchman.
Behind him, dozens of armored soldiers gripped the hilts of their swords!
The atmosphere was tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.
The leader of the silver gongs had veins bulging on his forehead, probably because he had never felt so humiliated before. Even a nobody like him dared to rebuke him to his face!
Night watchmen rarely encounter obstacles when investigating cases.
The Ministry of Justice had received an imperial decree from Emperor Yuanjing, which is why they dared to be so bold.
Although the silver gong was also holding the knife handle, he dared not be reckless.
Because he was only acting on Jinluo's orders, he was not qualified to claim that he was acting on imperial orders.
The Ministry of Justice could not possibly be unaware that the night watchmen were also ordered to participate in the case, yet they deliberately kept them outside.
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to disgust them and trip them up.
"Humph!"
The middle-aged officer in the lead sneered and placed one hand on his knife.
Today, these night watchmen will not be able to set foot in the Ministry of Justice!
Immediately.
The middle-aged officer looked up and saw a group of night watchmen riding towards him in the distance.
"The Ministry of Justice is handling cases. Anyone unauthorized to trespass into the Ministry of Justice will be killed without exception!"
The middle-aged officer's face was rather grim, and he shouted in a deep voice!
Because he saw a golden gong!
The night watchman, Jinluo, was a fourth-rank martial artist with extremely powerful strength; he was no match for him.
Su Nan, Nangong Qianrou, and the messenger arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
Su Nan did not dismount, but looked at the group of armored soldiers at the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
"Open the door."
Su Nan said calmly.
The middle-aged officer frowned and asked, "Who are you?!"
Before the night watchman's gong could even be sounded, this man spoke first.
"Su Nan, the chief investigator of the Sangbo bombing case."
Su Nan simply introduced himself.
The middle-aged officer frowned deeply.
Southern Jiangsu...
I think I've heard of such a person, but he's said to be a philanderer who spends his days sleeping with women in brothels.
How could he be the official in charge of the Sangpo bombing case?
The middle-aged officer was initially worried, but after hearing Su Nan identify himself, his worries disappeared.
What is there to fear from someone who has no connections or even an official position?
"He who comes is stopped!"
"The Ministry of Justice is acting on imperial orders, and even the lead official must not interfere!"
The middle-aged officer's eyes suddenly turned fierce.
To show this philandering official his power, the middle-aged officer raised his longsword and shouted, "Anyone who trespasses on the Ministry of Justice shall die!"
The clanging sounds continued, and the soldiers drew their swords, their expressions solemn, as if they were about to go to war.
Seeing this, Nangong Qianrou's eyes became somewhat amused.
She glanced at Su Nan.
Let's see how you get out of this mess.
Su Nan was neither a member of the night watchman's party nor a member of the Ministry of Justice.
It has no foundation at either end.
Even though he was the official appointed by His Majesty, his words carried little weight in this situation.
Su Nan sat high on his horse, unfazed by the soldiers' posture.
He pointed to the imperial gold plaque hanging on his left waist.
"I'm here on imperial orders to investigate this case, why aren't you leaving?"
The middle-aged officer glanced at the gold medal on Su Nan's waist, showing no fear on his face.
The brand is indeed genuine.
But whether it works or not depends on who holds the sign!
"The Ministry of Justice is also investigating the case by imperial decree, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach," the middle-aged military officer said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You want to stop me?"
Su Nan remained expressionless.
The middle-aged officer seemed to realize that his actions were inappropriate, and a sudden idea flashed in his mind.
"My lord, you hold a gold medal. If you wish to enter the Ministry of Justice, so be it. I will send someone to inform you."
Immediately, the middle-aged officer sent a guard to deliver the message.
As they waited and waited, the guard never returned!
Even the most naive person present would know that this middle-aged officer was fooling Su Nan.
The night watchmen at the scene were furious.
That bastard dared to fool them!
"Listen up, everyone. No one is allowed to enter the yamen before the Minister of Justice gives his permission. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without exception," the middle-aged officer sneered.
"Yes." The guards' eyes were sharp, as if they were ready to fight at any moment!
The Ministry of Justice is planning to drag this out, finish interrogating those people, and then seize the clues in the case themselves.
