On the other side, Zhao Wei had already received orders from Ye Lianhe to withdraw all the assassins in the back hall, then had his trusted aides rush to the Ministry of Justice to inform Ye Lianhe's trusted aide, Dong Liang, that they had been working together for Ye Lianhe for many years, and that he was the one who had been promoted.

Moments later, the sound of various footsteps could be heard outside the hotel. A group of hunters rushed in and stopped everyone in their tracks.

The leader of the group stood out, held up his badge and said, ”We are hunters of the justice courts. We have received a report that a murder has occurred in this restaurant, and have been ordered to apprehend the culprits.

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment. Why didn't the Ministry of Justice send someone to the justice courts instead? This caught Zhao Wei off guard.

Just as the constable shouted, Zhao Wei clearly saw a scoundrel secretly throw aside the white cloth on his head and slip away from the crowd.

Seeing this, Zhao Wei hurriedly gave a meaningful glance to the spy standing in the dark. That person nodded and secretly followed the person with a head full of scoundrels.

All of these plans were in the hands of Ye Lianhe. First, he had to control everyone and prevent any changes to prevent them from causing any changes to the situation, and then he had to immediately inform the Ministry of Justice's Prison Department to decide this case and quickly resolve it. After this matter was concluded, he would send people to deal with these civilians in secret, and this matter would be considered to be over.

However, what Ye Lianhe did not expect was that the one sitting in front of him right now was not Dong Liang, but Liu Changsheng, the chief official of the third-grade justice court. Dong Liang was sitting in front of the next public trial with He Lu from the mansion, looking at Zhao Wei with an anxious expression.

It turned out that Ye Feian had long anticipated that a petty trick like stirring up trouble wouldn't be able to beat Ye Lianhe. He had calculated that with Ye Lianhe's personality, he would quickly find someone he trusted to deal with this matter.

Not long ago, the imperial court had undergone a huge blood change. Although Ye Lianhe had cleaned up a lot of officials who were against him, this had pushed those who were unwelcome to the throne to the side of the emperor.

In such a situation, Ye Lianhe could only trust the officials that he had personally promoted, and among these officials, only Dong Liang and He Lu, who was currently sitting beside him, were responsible for the administration of criminal justice. On the other hand, when Ye Feian went to make a ruckus, he sent people to inform Liu Changsheng, and when Dong Liang sent someone to arrest him, he found out that Liu Changsheng had captured them first.

”Ascending Hall!”

Following a shocking wooden sound, the murder case officially began.

Everyone in the hall wailed out their grievances. Their family members had eaten in the restaurant set up by the princess yesterday. Not long after returning home, they vomited blood and fell to the ground and died.

Later on, he asked the others and found out that many of them had done the same thing yesterday.

This caused those who had eaten the hotpot yesterday to feel a sense of lingering fear.

”Defendant Zhao Wei, Ming-Yue restaurant manager. Everyone here accused you of selling poisonous food and poisoning several people. Do you know your crime?”

Liu Changsheng was very smart. He knew that Ye Feian wanted to finish this case quickly, so he decided to convict Zhao Wei right from the beginning.

”Reporting to Lord, the store has always been in compliance with the law and has never done anything against the law. Please look into it, Sir!”
