Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Fallout in the Investigation Chaos

The alternation of the pillars of government brought different political currents in the court. The emperor slashed a quarter of the power as well as the power of several branches of the prominent noble families. It was quite a reckless action but firm and bold.

For several days after the murder incident in the banquet, the expanded investigation now dragged on many important cases.

Some noble families who have a hand in committing and concealing crimes become restless if everything is revealed.

At this time, the Great Hall of Ruming was the place where the morning court usually took place. The morning court was held every day, this was the time of the meeting and the place of the Emperor's intercession with his Ministers to discuss all matters of the state.

Ministers dressed in purple, red or green robed formal coats lined up according to their respective positions and status.

The Emperor sat on a dragon throne with a cold face and a sharp gaze, waiting for the report to come out of the mouths of his subjects.

Usually some of them will argue fiercely if there are cross opinions that differ in dealing with the state problem.

But this time they were very calm. It is seen that they avoid anger as well as the view of the ruler.

For a very different matter in the court this morning was that Ning Jing as Prime Minister was not allowed to attend. Since the Ning Family was on a special probationary period, they were currently under house arrest.

The investigation was still ongoing, bit by bit drawing the downfall of several families who became Ning Jing's loyal followers. Before the end, though,

"Report, Your Majesty the Emperor." It was Niao Lei who raised the board in his hand and immediately advanced out of the line to show himself facing the emperor.

Xia Qian Che's eyes that were originally showing boredom turned into a flash of interest-filled spirit. "Oh, what sort of trouble is it that makes the quiet Minister Niao become restless?" He said with a slanted smile.

"..." - ".His smile that felt strange to the point of making people shudder in horror.

"Allowed, speak." Xia Qian Che continued by waving his hands indifferently.

'Brackk.srakk..' The parchment scrolls fell and scattered irregularly as the bone-chilling cold air.

"A very impudent courage." Xia Qian Che's low voice flowed sharply. It was a fierce fury like the heat of lava within a volcano.

'Bronghi..' Ministers in the morning court immediately fell to their knees in a kowtow posture at the sight of the emperor's anger. Their bodies were trembling with a furious fear.

"Emperor, don't be so angry." Eunuch Cui tried to calm down.

But, Xia Qian Che naturally paid no heed. His handsome face darkened with displeasure.

"Niao Lei as one of the imperial ministers who dared to speak out for the truth and injustice of the border people." His fingers were raised to point firmly towards Niao Lei who was kneeling down below.

"Zhen order you with the criminal department to arrest the head of the criminal." His voice flowed full of absolute heavy authority. "Seal all of the Ning family's properties and immediately bring Ning Jing before zhen." His order.

Niao Lei was an important supporter. He prepared all available evidence of dark transcation and some testimony perfectly. This is the time they agreed.

**Head Family Reading Room, Ning Residence**.

"Damn it!" Curse Ning Jing with tightly clenched hands. "I have to get all this sorted out, but, that jerk is blocking me tight. My poor yin'er." His teeth were struggling with emotions.

"Your daughter is too stupid." Grunts someone who is his interlocutor.

"Jizhang Rui!! Don't you insult my daughter." The ning Jing's touch was furious.

Rui Jizhang, he was once one of the higher-ups in the Shen Empire. Minister as well as Emperor Advisor, the closest person of the great Shen.

But, in one night everything can change when he suddenly changes status to a runaway fugitive. At this moment, he was in the protection of old allies and friends.

"All right." Rui Jizhang immediately stood up with a pensive face for a moment of thought. "What about my new identity you're preparing for? At least, I can go out free to help with your daughter's case. Find him a replacement sheep alibi." He said calmly by turning towards Ning Jing.

"..." - ".Ning Jing glanced back at him sharply. His fingers were tapped on the table to examine.

Usually the case involving the carelessness of his daughter will be resolved by making a scapegoat as a substitute, but, for some reason now feels stuck and not easy.

"Hmmm..." Ning Jing cleared her throat with her fingers hooked on the chin that grew a little beard. "All right." He immediately stood up and took some paper parchment from inside the wooden box that formed a drawer.

"Take this." He gave the document paper to Rui Jizhang.

Rui Jizhang immediately received and looked at the contents in the document. It contained an identity card belonging to someone, He would be able to travel in and out of the Empire.

Then Ning Jing took the scroll and the feathered pen. He wrote some strange code in the scroll.

Before Rui Jizhang asked or Ning Jing finished her writing. Suddenly the door of the reading room opened with a sullen sigh that rushed a subordinate in.

'Shelf...' Door slammed hard. "Great, Great Lord!!" His voice was so panicked with a gasp of breath.


"Master—, that.." Stalled it.

Troops in imperial military uniforms suddenly rushed into the room.

From behind the troops appeared the figure of Niao Lei carrying a yellow scroll made of golden dragon embroidery in his grasp. It was an imperial decree.

He stepped firmly with confidence. In addition there is also a figure of the chief official of the criminal department who accompanied.

"Don't know if there's anything that makes our residence the arrival of a special group of guests?" Ning Jing's ingenious voice flowed full of special emphasis.

Seeing such a devious face made Niao Lei sneer inwardly.

"Get everyone together immediately to receive the decree and investigation of this residence thoroughly!" The criminal department official gave orders to his subordinates.

"Good!" The army answered.

Most of the troops rushed out and led the servants and guards of the residence, ordering them to kneel in wait in the outer courtyard which had a field.

And the few remaining men of the army approached towards Ning Jing and Rui Jizhang to hold them back.

"Master Prime Minister." Call Niao Lei coldly. "The emperor passed down decrees and investigative orders. Please cooperate and follow us!" His tone sounded so sharp.

"Bad! You know that I'm a Prime Minister. But, what kind of ill-treatment is this?!" Ning Jing's shout was full of anger.

"A decree like that, you cannot touch my territory by force of the military forces!" Touch again.

Niao Lei could not help but snort full of sneers and insults.

"Don't waste any more time." Said Niao Lei waving his hand giving a command signal then immediately turned around and stepped out of the room.

Before leaving, he took a quick glance and threw a meaningful smile at Rui Jizhang who was also looking at him deeply.

"Bring them!" The chief official of the criminal department gave a clearer order. After finishing his words, he immediately caught up with Niao Lei to rush out.

Ning Jing's face turned dark from receiving this unbearable humiliation. The military forces dragging him were forcefully filled with his enticement.

The Ning residence fell into a huge investigative mess. The hostess and the concubines roared bitterly with sobbing cries as they listened to the contents of the captive decree of the northern ruler.

I don't know if they cry over the wealth that is almost lost or worry about the life of the husband.

The two opposing camps were unaware that there was another party in the shadows just waiting for time to fulfill their goal by taking a small advantage of the ongoing chaos.

It seemed that Ning Jing was not that easy to give up either. Seen from his face that was still filled with the radiance of decisiveness and ambition of resistance.

He had a little remaining power from his power, just like Rui Jizhang at the time of his escape. Can he escape without a defect? What kind of struggle will he do for the last time?

Behind the corner hidden in the darkness of the shadows. Some skilled people were observing the entire situation. They hide in the roof or shady tree trunks without exception.

"When should we wait?" Asked someone who was believed to be a young man from his low, heavy voice.

"Don't you say that it would be difficult if our prey had fallen into the clutches of a ferocious tiger like the Northern Xia Emperor." Further.

"Please wait a minute, Taotao." A beautiful voice belonging to a young lady replied with a calm rhythm.
