Chapter 63 The endless night (1)\nLin Qing returned to the lobby of the Department of Supervision expressionlessly. No one knew what had happened. They only felt that the lobby of the Department of Supervision was gloomier than in the past and there were more people who came and go than usual. Each one was in murderous spirit, making people feel that something was going to happen.\n\nAfter Situ Yaohua escorted Zhao Zimu back to the Ministry of Justice, he learned the situation from Situ Yuanxiao. Today, Situ Yuanxiao was the first to rush forward and he acted fast and cleanly. After seeing Situ Yuanxiao’s expression, he knew that he (SY) knew something. Therefore, the first thing that Situ Yaohua did was ask Situ Yuanxiao to explain the situation to him.
Situ Yuanxiao knew that he couldn’t hide this matter anymore. After all, the affair of the princess concerned the face of a country. He honestly explained the encounter between Zhao Zimu and Situ Ningan. At the end, Situ Yuanxiao added, “Although this person didn’t take the initiative to do anything detrimental to the imperial household, but now it seemed that he is Lin Qing’s people. Perhaps, he had some motive when he approached Ningan. Moreover, what had happened today is too ridiculous. He shouldn’t be let off!”
Situ Yuanxiao naturally concealed the fact that Situ Ningan deliberately used the pretext of selecting a groom to lure Zhao Zimu out and wanted to elope with him. Although, that had nothing to do with today’s matter, but after all it was an unfilial behavior and he was also implicated in it. He was not so stupid to tell Situ Yaohua.
However, no matter if Zhao Zimu did a meritorious deed, is guilty or innocent, she wouldn’t be spared because of what had happened today. Not only did she let the princess lose virtue, she also let the imperial household lose face. This was not something that could be redeemed by saving the princess. Furthermore, it happened under the eyes of everyone. Emperor Jinghui’s face had been really hurt by the slap. Hence, this person must be arrested.
Situ Yaohua never thought that the things turned out to be like this. Situ Ningan was actually so bold to dare to go out of the palace alone and almost met a mishap. Furthermore, she also fell in love with an unknown guy and did this kind of thing for this guy.
Situ Yaohua suddenly became interested in the handsome quiet figure. What kind of person is he?
Also, he is Lin Qing’s people.
The people of the Ministry of Justice pressed down this matter. No one could intervene. Besides, they were ordered that this case didn’t need to go through the Court of Judicial Review (da li si) and that the case could be reviewed by themselves. The outcome could be directly submitted to emperor Jinghui’s desk and could be settled after emperor Jinghui reviewed the case.
The swift and decisive action let people raise their eyebrows. This also let everyone know that this case had been closed before the it ended.

Today xushi (7-9pm), a note was quietly thrown out of the dark and gloomy prison cell of the Ministry of Justice. An unknown servant outside the prison cell carrying a small lantern casually picked it up and walked away.
Not long after, this note was pinched in Lin Qing’s hand. Lin Qing sat in the main seat in the brightly lit main hall of Qiansui’s residence. Xiao Lianzi, Jia Yi and Jia Er stood around him with a murderous look.
Madam had been arrested unexpectedly, leaving each of them with a murderous look. They represented a powerful, brutal and violent organization. Once these two organizations were fully operational, the whole world of Great Lian would shake three times.\n\nXiao Lianzi is from the Department of Supervision and Jia Yi and Jia Er are from the Prefecture of Arrest.
Only the Department of Supervision already has fifty thousand people and there are more than hundred thousand people at the Prefecture of Arrest. These people are scattered all over Great Liang. Usually, they collected information about the civil and military officials in obscurity. Even the various news in the teahouses and restaurants on the streets and lanes and the storytellers were not let go. Nothing that happens in the world could be concealed from them. A more exaggerated statement is that they even know what undergarment the new concubine of an official wore!
They are the eyes and ears of the emperor and supervised hundreds of officials in Great Liang and they also tracked all traces of rebellion to prevent people from rebelling. No matter how big or small the matter is, they were held in their secret files. Once it is revealed meant that someone was caught in the web.
They are loyal to the emperor of Great Liang, but they obey the order of the head eunuch of the Department of Supervision and the commander of the Prefecture of Arrest. Furthermore, those two people happened to be the same person. He is this dynasty’s Jiu Qiansui Lin Qing! As long as he gives an order, no matter who, the sword of the Department of Supervision and the Prefecture of Arrest wouldn’t hesitate to swing it at the intended target!
Therefore, the first thing they would learn on the first day they entered the Department of Supervision and the Prefecture of Arrest was to act on orders!
Xiao Lianzi blamed himself for the arrest of Zhao Zimu this time. If it wasn’t because he didn’t consider everything and brought her in the palace, what had happened today wouldn’t have happened.
What kind of place was the prison of the Ministry of Justice? It was a place where people who had flouted the law and strung through with evil could be found. Could madam, a weak woman, endure it?
Also, what if they torture madam?
When Xiao Lianzi thought of this, he was panicked. He suddenly remembered that madam was arrested as a man. What should he do if she was found out when being tortured?
Disguising as man and a guard of the Prefecture of Arrest, sneaked into the palace and let the imperial family lose face. This, this…
