Dali Temple hurriedly summoned people to the interrogation room.
Minister Xing was also present.
Minister Xing never expected the visitor to be Assistant Minister Li.
Assistant Minister Li had been set up while investigating the case at Xianle Inn and was saddled with a murder charge. Without sufficient evidence to overturn the case, he was temporarily detained at the Ministry of Punishments.
Minister Xing had a plan in his heart—to release Assistant Minister Li once he took down the Xianle Inn.
"Two lords," Assistant Minister Li greeted the two men with a bow.
The head of Dali Temple said, "No need for formalities. I have heard that Assistant Minister Li holds a clue to this case."
"That's correct," Assistant Minister Li said. He looked straight ahead at the ground and spoke, "Actually, this official knows who the mastermind behind the scenes is."
"Oh?"
