Inside the council chamber, more than a dozen powerful officials looked over at the same time.
Su Nan led a group of night watchmen and slowly stepped into the council hall.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Su Nan slowly raised his hands and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "My name is Su Nan."
"Greetings, esteemed sirs."
A look of bewilderment appeared on the faces of many officials present.
Southern Jiangsu?
That immortal banished to the Great Feng Dynasty?
of course.
What the adults here are more familiar with is another colloquial name used in southern Jiangsu.
A freeloader at the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment venue).
Aside from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, only those from southern Jiangsu could get free services at the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).
Moreover, those courtesans were willing to let him use them for free.
How did he end up here?
This was not the first time that Minister Sun of the Ministry of Justice and Su Nan had met.
The last time Zhou Li colluded with the Ministry of Justice to frame Su Nan, Minister Sun had dealt with this person.
The relationship between the two was far from harmonious.
An official from the Ministry of Justice glanced at Su Nan and muttered under his breath, "Such a case was actually handed over to a playboy from the brothel..."
His words and actions revealed his dissatisfaction with southern Jiangsu.
If it weren't for the token hanging from Su Nan's waist, which revealed his identity, the people from the Ministry of Justice would probably have kicked him out immediately!
Moreover.
Today's events involve a struggle between the Ministry of Justice and the Night Watchmen's Office.
You, from southern Jiangsu, have no connection to anyone, so why are you getting involved in this mess?
If you know what's good for you, leave as soon as possible to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
Minister Sun did not want to get entangled with Su Nan any further.
Although this young man holds no official position, he possesses remarkable talent, and many noble ladies are fond of him.
He was able to serve as the host this time, presumably thanks to the favors of the princesses.
It's fine to gain some fame and credit through this case, but don't interfere unnecessarily.
Do you really think someone who spends his days sleeping with women can solve this major case?!
Minister Sun then picked up his teacup.
In official circles, serving tea is a way of saying goodbye to guests.
An official from the Ministry of Justice immediately said in a deep voice, "Although you are the presiding official, you have no authority over this matter."
"The Ministry of Justice is also acting on imperial orders."
"Retreat quickly!"
Su Nan immediately looked at the person, a smile appearing on his face.
"I have no interest in your Ministry of Justice."
"I've only heard that the Ministry of Justice has detained many officials from the Court of Judicial Review, the Ministry of Rites, and the palace, and has obstructed the night watchmen from conducting interrogations. Your Excellency, may I ask what the meaning of this is?"
Minister Sun replied without changing his expression, "The Ministry of Justice is naturally also handling cases."
Just now.
A clerk rushed over in a panic, glanced at the night watchmen, and whispered a few words in the ear of a Ministry of Justice official!
The official from the Ministry of Justice's expression changed drastically. He slammed his fist on the table and pointed his spear at Su Nan!
He shouted angrily, "This is outrageous! This is utterly lawless!"
The officials in the hall all frowned.
Minister Sun realized something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"
The official from the Ministry of Justice, looking agitated, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, Eunuch Liu, these night watchmen killed someone at the entrance of my Ministry of Justice. And the person they killed was a general with official rank. How arrogant and presumptuous they are! They must be severely punished."
The officials were taken aback!
Even the head eunuch at the very front, who had been keeping a high profile and squinting without saying a word, looked at Su Nan and the others with surprise.
Killing a high-ranking general at the gate of the Ministry of Justice?!
This is not only a blatant disregard for the law, but also a slap in the face to the Ministry of Justice...
Minister Sun's expression remained unchanged. He lightly tapped the armrest of his chair and said, "The Ministry of Justice is in charge of criminal law and decrees, sharing His Majesty's burdens and advocating for the people. Guards..."
"slow!"
Su Nan interrupted Minister Sun with a low shout, saying, "I am the official appointed by His Majesty to handle this case. Even Wei Yuan and the night watchman must obey my orders and cooperate in the investigation."
"By His Majesty's oral decree, holding the token, it is as if I were personally present, granting me the authority to act as I see fit!"
Do you know what it means to act expediently?
"Execute first and report later, special permission granted by the Emperor!"
Su Nan stared into Minister Sun's eyes, his words cold and menacing.
“I was investigating the case with my token, but the Ministry of Justice obstructed me in many ways. I suspect that the Ministry of Justice is colluding with the thieves and plotting to blow up the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple!”
"Anyone who obstructs my investigation, let alone killing a general, even if I were to behead you, Minister Sun, right here, it would be within my power to do so!"
The atmosphere in the council chamber suddenly turned icy cold!
No one could have imagined that a playboy who spent all his time in the brothel could possess such overwhelming murderous intent!
The momentum of Su Nan even overwhelmed the group of powerful high-ranking officials of Da Feng!
In fact, none of the officials present, including Minister Sun, the Grand Eunuch, and Prefect Chen, had taken Su Nan, the organizer, seriously.
What is there to fear about a playboy who suddenly becomes rich and powerful but has no foundation in the court?
But no one expected Su Nan to be so tough!
Even Wei Yuan, who wielded immense power, had to obey his orders.
Let alone the people inside the council chamber?
In particular, Su Nan's last words sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"Taking shortcuts"—is that really how it's explained?!
Even killing a minister of one of the Six Ministries would be within reason!
Minister Sun, as the Minister of the Six Ministries, wielded great power and was a second-rank official in the imperial court, one of the high-ranking officials!
In Su Nan's words, it seems that killing someone is no big deal and can be done at will.
Minister Sun suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
I'm not afraid of seasoned veterans like Wei Yuan, but I'm afraid of greenhorns like Su Nan.
Willing to risk everything, even the emperor himself, to be brought down.
Even Nangong Qianrou, who had witnessed many grand occasions alongside Wei Yuan, was startled by Su Nan's words.
She stared at Su Nan with a shocked expression.
Even a godfather wouldn't dare openly say he'd execute a Minister of Justice first and report later, would he?!
This kid... is too fierce.
As for Li Yuchun and his group of silver and bronze gong players, their hearts were already filled with turmoil.
A celestial being! Incredible!
No wonder she was so favored by so many courtesans in the Imperial Music Bureau!
The frustration in everyone's hearts was instantly swept away by Su Nan's words.
Working under a boss like that is so comfortable and satisfying!
"Be bold!"
"Threatening the Minister? How many heads do you have?"
An official from the Ministry of Justice was furious.
Su Nan suddenly turned around and drew the long sword from the silver gong beside him!
He slashed at the chair in front of the official who had spoken, holding the knife to the man's neck.
Su Nan stared at the man with cold eyes and said, word by word:
"This lord."
"Could it be that what I just said wasn't clear enough?!"
"To act first and report later is a special privilege granted by imperial authority."
With a slight pressure, the sharp blade slices into the skin.
As blood flowed out, the courage of this Ministry of Justice official was completely shattered by Su Nan.
"Clearly...clear!"
"I know perfectly well!"
The official from the Ministry of Justice's trousers were completely soaked.
Zheng!
With a flick of his wrist, Su Nan pinned the long sword to the floor of the council chamber.
With a slight flick of his left hand, he revealed the imperial gold medal.
