"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has left the palace."
Zhong Bai hurried over to report, and Yin Ji paused while marking the memorial: "She still chose the Xun family... Then it depends on Xie Yun next."
Zhong Bai couldn't help but worry: "But the Queen Mother left the palace so confidently, could it be that she had already arranged it? That Nanny Qin has been in the palace for so many years, what storms has she not seen? Can Miss Xie ask what we want?"
"It's useless to think too much, let's go and see."
He stood up and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and walked faster and faster on the road. Zhong Bai, a military officer, even had to jog to keep up.
"Your Majesty, please slow down."
He couldn't slow down. He hadn't seen Xie Yun for several days, and now she was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There was suppressed desire in his eyes, and the original two quarters of an hour's journey was shortened by half by him.
The Shanggong Bureau was very involved. When they arrived, the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs was very busy. It was not until Zhong Bai opened his voice and sang "Yes" that everyone was shocked and knelt on the ground.
Yin Ji walked straight into the gate without stopping. His eyes quickly swept across the fence of the torture room, searching for the shadow he wanted to see in the crowd, but his face did not show any expression: "Everyone, get up, how is the interrogation going?"
The warden hurriedly got up and followed, but his face was bitter: "Since the people were detained three days ago, I have been interrogating them without blinking. They admitted the deficits of various bureaus, but the people they confessed were only in the Shanggong Bureau. No one else was involved. I tried every means, but it was useless..."
He paused, his face full of hesitation.
Yin Ji was so preoccupied that he didn't notice it at all. Zhong Bai, on the other hand, was a little impatient: "The emperor asked you a question, why are you hesitating?"
The supervisor didn't dare to hide it anymore and could only lower his head: "It was the Shangfu of the Shangfu Bureau. Half an hour ago, he couldn't stand the punishment and bit his tongue to commit suicide. If you keep asking like this, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Bai's face had changed. Although he was usually careless and didn't think much before speaking or doing things, he was not really stupid after all. As soon as he heard the supervisor's words, he knew that the situation was not good.
One of the six Shanggongs had died. If something happened to others, even if Xie Yun really asked something important from Nanny Qin, would anyone believe it?
This was simply the words "confession under torture" hanging on his forehead.
Zhong Bai was a little angry: "How do you do things? I asked you to interrogate, but I didn't ask you to force people to death!"
The supervisor lowered his head in fear, with a dark light in his eyes. The emperor didn't ask them to force people to death, but someone did. With the death of Shangfu, who in the entire Shanggong Bureau dares to speak nonsense?
It's just embezzlement and embezzlement of some silver, at most a punishment and demoted to the laundry bureau, at least you can still survive, but if you talk nonsense, it's not just your life that will be lost.
The supervisor sneered in his heart, but his face was very terrified: "Your Majesty, could this be a matter in the Shanggong Sixth Bureau's own room? It has nothing to do with others."
