Gu Qishan is a small overlord of the capital. He usually bullies his neighbors and dominates the city and is not seen by the common people.
The people who got the news crowded the official road with people shouting and clapping their hands. The officers of the Da Lisi had never received such praise from the people, and they all straightened their backs and gripped their swords tightly. They were no longer lazy as usual, and their majesty appeared immediately.
Wu Chong looked at the woman with her head held high on the horse in front of him and felt a little sad. The imperial court had been too generous to the meritorious officials who had founded the country. These clans' sons and grandsons had been running amok, causing the people to suffer. No matter how this matter ends, Ren Anle will win the hearts and minds of the people of this city.
As they approached the Da Lisi, they heard a clamour. Ren Anle saw Pei Zhan, who was not quite dressed, standing in front of the Da Lisi office with his messy beard and glaring eyes, confronting Huang Pu, whose face was silent.
With a slight narrowing of her eyes, she gripped the reins and looked backwards, "Commander Wu, you are the commander of the Da Lisi. Which one do you listen to, Lord Pei or the Da Lisi token?"
Wu Chong had long since seen the scene in front of the government office. He understood faintly that his predecessor AnLe had dispatched him on the basis of a token from the Minister of the Da Lisi. He was silent for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, Wu Chong has received the Emperor's order by the grace of Heaven."
The emperor's order is to investigate this matter thoroughly, which means that he is willing to help her. It seems that Pei Zhan's usual reputation and style has helped her a lot.
Ren Anle smiled and said, "Rest assured, Commander Wu. I, Ren Anle, don't make things difficult for others. I'll take care of everything!"
Having said that, she wave the reins and ran towards the front of the the government office.
"Huang Pu, you don't want to live long. How dare you bring the Shang Shu's son to the Da Lisi!" Pei Zhan lowered his voice and growled, calling him by his first name in his anger.
If the Left Minister hadn't sent someone secretly into his house early in the morning to tell him, he's afraid he would have been kept in the dark until now. It was a well-known fact that the Minister of Revenue is the trusted aide of the Left Minister. This stubborn bull, I should have found an excuse to get rid of him before!
"Your Excellency, Wu Yue already confessed last night that it was Du Tingsong who leaked the examination questions. How can he not be tried in the courtroom as he is possibly the mastermind of the fraud case?" Huang Pu's expression was cold and sober, and his voice was loud and clear. Although he had been questioning all night, he was in high spirits.
"Li Chong'en has already killed himself in fear of crime. You have caused so much trouble ..." Pei Zhan's face was ugly, suddenly looking at Huang Pu, with a gloomy look under his eyes: "Could it be that Huang da ren wants to sit in the position of this official? This is why you want to compete for the limelight!"
"Your Excellency, this humble official only wants to find out about the fraudulent examination case. There is no such intention." Huang Pu cupped his hands in obeisance, looking calm and steady.
"Lord Pei, this official also believes that Lord Huang is dedicated to public service and has no selfish motives."
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded. The two men turned around to see Ren Anle's horse coming and stopping in front of the government office.
