General Xu Qiu was rebellious and returned to Beijing.

Compared with the Qin family, this matter is really not worth mentioning. It is like a drop of dew falling into the vast ocean. Although it caused several ripples, it could not raise any storm at all.

But Xia Sheng heard about the news early the next morning.

The person responsible for delivering the message was Wang Er, who also sent Xia Sheng a mountain of invitations.

The origins of these invitations almost cover the famous and surnamed mansions in the entire Luoyang city, including wealthy families, princes and nobles, and naturally dozens of sects.

Before Xia Sheng could see it, he handed the large stack of invitations to Ning Zheng, and then asked Wang Er: "When will I see General Xu?"

Wang Er had a gentle smile on his face and said, "General Xu just returned to Beijing last night, so he must first enter the palace to meet the saint. It is said that he has not returned to the palace yet, and the dignitaries in Luoyang City are also queuing up. According to General Xu's temperament, although he does not like to form cliques, he still has to go for necessary social engagements. Therefore, Mr. Xia may have to wait until two days before tomorrow."

Xia Sheng nodded and did not express any dissatisfaction with this.

If it were a few days ago, he would definitely not be so calm, but now it is different.

As Qin Yan won the title of top leader in the clan competition and was designated as the future successor of Shantang, Qin Siye entered Luoyang General Hall and took charge of various tasks. The Qin family's attitude towards Xia Sheng has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now with Shantang's strong support, Xia Sheng is no longer so urgent to obtain help from the Xu family.

After all, when it comes to inquiries about news, no one dares to say the first place in the world if Shantang dares to say the second place.

Moreover, compared with the Xujia Town Marquis Mansion, the Qin family has a huge advantage in finding Dad Xia.

For example, early this morning, Xia Sheng not only received a lot of invitations from Wang Er, but also received good news from Shantang.

Almost half a month ago, Xia Sheng heard from Wei Gongfeng that Shantang arrested three demon spies who sneaked into the territory of the Dajin Dynasty based on the information he gave. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by the people from the Judgment Department on his way back to Beijing.

So Xia Sheng always hoped to go to the black prison of the Judgment Office through the relationship between Shantang and the Judgment Office. He asked him to personally go to the black prison of the Judgment Office to confirm whether the three demon spies were related to the disappearance of his father, but Wei Chaofeng was always shirking the blame for various reasons.

There is no news about this matter anymore.

But I never thought that after a night, news came from Shantang that the ruling department had agreed to the matter, and that Xia Sheng could go to the ruling department at the latest this afternoon!

Xia Sheng seemed very satisfied with Shantang's high efficiency in service. From this point of view, this clan ratio brought him much more benefits than he had imagined.

Sure enough, just after noon, Bi Qingwen came to Ye's mansion in the ruling department's carriage and asked to see Xia Sheng.

Qin Yan naturally couldn't come in person, because she went into the palace to thank her when it was light dawn today. She hadn't come back yet, so Shantang arranged for Bi Qingwen to take Xia Sheng to the ruling office.

Speaking of which, after the tribe comparison, Bi Qingwen's current identity has now risen. Although he is still a small deacon in his position, he has been officially transferred from the Yangcheng branch to the main hall. And who doesn't know that he is the confidant of the Qin family's eldest daughter?

Even those in charge of the officials who entered and left the palaces had to greet them with a smile.

Have you ever seen a small deacon in the charity hall be treated like this?

However, Bi Qingwen has always been a smart person. He knew that he could have today because of the eldest lady. If Qin Yan fell one day, then his fate would probably not be much better.

And who is Qin Yan’s backer?

Is it a good hall? No, Bi Qingwen knows better than anyone else. The reason why Qin Yan was able to make a big splash in the clan competition was that she won the title of top leader because of Xia Sheng and Mr. Xia!

So Bi Qingwen dared not neglect anything about Xia Sheng.

After receiving the news from the clan, Bi Qingwen didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he rushed to the verdict office as soon as possible. After talking to the other party for a long time, he asked for a carriage and drove directly to the gate of the Weining Marquis' Mansion, and made a special trip to pick Xia Sheng up.

Xia Sheng saw Bi Qingwen's attentiveness, but did not immediately say it out loud. Until he got on the carriage, he said quietly: "You are intent."

Bi Qingwen laughed and said repeatedly: "Why should Mr. Xia be so polite to me? But when I arrive at the Judgment Office later, I may not be able to accompany Mr. Xia in. They have many rules. Then I will wait outside the door to avoid any trouble."

Xia Sheng nodded and suddenly said, "By the way, these days, please help me check Meng Qi's whereabouts. Although Princess Pingnan said that she was rescued, I was still worried. Whenever there was any news, I would report to me immediately."

Bi Qingwen nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I will do my best to do this."

"Well..." Xia Sheng pondered for a moment, then asked again: "About the Judgment Department, I heard that some accidents have occurred recently. Have you heard of them?"

Bi Qingwen replied without hesitation: "I heard that it seems that their flag-holding envoy was ambushed on the way to escort Pingnan Mars to Beijing. His whereabouts are still unknown. The only one who fled back to Beijing...Wang Wang named Cao, was sentenced to death last night and was beheaded on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng suddenly felt nervous, but he stopped asking more questions, just nodded lightly: "So that's it."

And during the conversation between the two, the carriage had quietly driven into Muma Lane. When they passed through the Lane Hall and came to Zhakou Street, it was where the Judgment Office was located.

To be honest, the Weining Marquis Mansion is not far from the Judgment Office. Both mansions are east of Luoyang City, and it is only a quarter of an hour's drive at most.

At the same time, there are also the yamen of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue in this area, but compared to Zhakou Street where the Judgment Office is located, it is farther and more prosperous.

After all, no matter whether it is a business or an ordinary household, they will not choose to be so close to the Judgment Office to avoid bad luck.

This is why the rent of the shops on Zhakou Street is more than ten times lower than that of other places in Luoyang City, but few people still care about it.

The moment the carriage drove into Zhakou Street, Xia Sheng could clearly feel that the nearby area suddenly became much more desolate. It was hard to imagine that there was such a place in the prosperous capital of Luoyang.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Judgment Office, and there was already someone waiting there. It was a minor official in the Judgment Office. Although it was not as terrifying as people imagined, it looked a little pale and thin, and there was no expression on his face, as if he was wearing a mask.

Xia Sheng got out of the car and saw the stone tablet that Emperor Gaozong personally mentioned.

There is no plaque on the lintel of the Judgment Office, and the three big characters "Judgment Office" cannot be seen, because this stone tablet is the biggest symbol of the Judgment Office in hundreds of years.

He also informed the world of the terrifying privileges they hold in their hands.
