Chapter 733: Missing Adult Man from Fireworks Workshop

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

Zhang Tongpu trotted out from the inner gate of the Dali Temple with a hint of nervousness on his face.

"Your Highness, I am Zhang Tongpu, the newly appointed Minister of the Supreme Court. This place is in chaos. If Your Highness has anything to say, why don't you go inside and speak?"

Baili Moqing glanced at Zhang Tongpu and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Zhu Guangzheng who followed behind him before speaking in a dissatisfied, questioning tone.

"Master Zhu, as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, why don't you explain to me why the families of the missing persons who come to inquire about the progress of the missing cases are kicked out by your Dali Temple?"

"In the end, I'm even going to risk my own life to wake you, the officials?"

Shu He had met Zhu Guangzheng before and considered him an upright and good official, but he did not expect that such a mess would exist under his jurisdiction.

Zhu Guangzheng bowed to Baili Moqing and replied calmly, "Your Highness, this missing person case was initially handled by the Xicheng County Court. Because it remained unsolved for a long time, it was transferred to the Dali Temple."

"We just received this case a few days ago... However, Lord Zhang has already asked this official to seal it..."

Zhu Guangzheng kept talking with his head down, completely ignoring the look in Zhang Tongpu's eyes next to him that was blinking so hard that it was about to cramp.

"Seal it? Why seal it? Has the investigation period passed? Has the case been solved? Or has the suspect been found?"

After being asked several questions in succession, Zhu Guangzheng's expression remained unchanged, but Zhang Tongpu next to him turned pale.

"Your Highness, this case... actually, actually, has already been concluded..."

Before Zhang Tongpu could finish his words, Baili Moqing interrupted him, "Master Zhang, this is your first day on the job, right? You've just arrived at the Dali Temple, and you've already seen all the cases there, big and small?"

"I didn't expect Lord Zhang to be so dedicated! In that case, Lord Zhang, why don't you explain it to everyone in front of the people? Let the people know that not all of you in the Dali Temple are useless!"

Zhang Tongpu wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "In this case, the yamen runners investigated and found that Zhao Dacheng and Zhao Ercheng often quarreled with their father and had a bad relationship.

"On the day they disappeared, another neighbor said that Old Man Zhao had scolded his two sons again. So people speculated that the disappearance of Zhao Da and Zhao Er must be because they left Kyoto on their own and went to other places to develop their careers..."

"You're lying!" Old Man Zhao shouted excitedly after hearing this. "My two sons have always been filial and never talk back to me. How could there be a quarrel? Not to mention that they would abandon me, their old father, and go far away!"

"Your Highness, you are very discerning! This Dali Temple is clearly making arbitrary decisions without any distinction between right and wrong!"

Baili Moqing's face was gloomy, and his eyes were like those of a falcon perched high on the mountain, staring straight at Zhang Tongpu. "Master Zhang, is this the case your Dali Temple is handling? Two strong men would abandon their elderly father and run away to another country just because of a few words?"

"If that's true, then the missing person who disappeared along with the old man's son also fled far away because of an argument with his family?"

"Oh! If we really follow the logic of your Dali Temple, then everyone in Kyoto will have to leave their hometown."

Zhang Tongpu's face changed again, and he quickly agreed, "Your Highness is right. This case is obviously problematic! These people are taking the emperor's money, but they only know how to perfunctorily handle the matter. It's really disgusting!"

"I will immediately have this case reinvestigated and will give an explanation to the people and His Majesty!"

Baili Moqing snorted coldly and looked at Zhu Guangzheng beside him, "Master Zhu should handle this matter! Master Zhang is new to the Dali Temple, so he should first familiarize himself with the environment and learn what it takes to become a qualified and competent Dali Temple Minister!"

Zhu Guangzheng bowed and responded, "I will definitely live up to your expectations, Your Highness!"

After he finished speaking, Baili Moqing said to the old man, "Old sir, take your fellows who have experienced the same thing as you and go find Lord Zhu. Lord Zhu is an upright official and is very strict. I believe he will be able to find your son and give you an explanation!"

The old man's face was filled with emotion when he heard this. He knelt down and shouted to Baili Moqing, "Thank you, Your Highness! Your great kindness and generosity will never be forgotten!"

Baili Moqing said calmly: "We'll thank you after we find the child!"

He looked at Zhu Guangzheng again and said, "After Lord Zhu has understood the matter clearly, please go to Prince Li's mansion. This prince will personally oversee this matter!"

After Zhu Guangzheng agreed, Baili Moqing looked at the judge Xu Min and the other yamen runners, and said to Zhang Tongpu, "You, the Dali Temple, dare to arrest people and put them in jail so casually, and in front of so many people. You are not afraid of any repercussions at all! You must have oppressed the people a lot in normal times, right?"

"They are so unscrupulous and disregard the laws of the king. Lord Zhu, Lord Zhang, you should know how to deal with these people, right?"

Without waiting for Zhu Guangzheng to speak, Zhang Tongpu immediately said, "I know, I know. I will punish him severely and will not show any leniency!"

"My Lord, now that this matter is settled, would you like to come into the mansion for some tea?"

Baili Moqing ignored him and looked at Yi'er in his arms with a smile on his face and asked, "Yi'er, are you relieved now?"

Yi'er nodded, looked at the old man, and said proudly: "Old uncle, I told you, my father is very powerful! He will definitely be able to help you!"

Seeing this, the old man's eyes filled with tears: "Thank you for your mercy, little princess. You are kind by nature. You will surely be blessed with good fortune and prosperity in the future!"

Baili Moqing listened to this and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. He then instructed Zhu Guangzheng, "Master Zhu, don't waste time. Find out the details as soon as possible. If you have any difficulties, come directly to the palace to find me!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

"Yier, let's go then?" Baili Moqing hugged Yier with both hands, and the previously indifferent expression on his face became gentle as water, as if the cold-faced evil star just now was not the same person as the man in front of him with a satisfied smile!

"Mom, mom! Come quickly!" Yi'er waved to Shu He in the crowd. She was quietly looking at the two people in front of her with a face full of satisfaction and happiness.

Perhaps, getting married was just a formality, and now is the time for them to truly become a family.

She touched Yi'er's little face and praised her, "Yi'er is really your mother's pride!"

Yi'er also smiled at her, "Mom is also Yi'er's pride!"

Shu He smiled, glanced at the man who was a little jealous, and asked, "What about Daddy? Is Daddy Yi'er's pride?"

Yi'er looked at Baili Moqing, and seeing him looking at her with expectation, she felt a little embarrassed. She hugged his neck, put her head on his shoulder, and nodded softly.
