"Sir, if you are worried about the Yingzhou People protests, we can hand this matter over to the Ministry of Justice and have Deputy Minister Yang Zheng personally handle it. Yang Zheng is known for his strict impartiality, so with him involved, the Yingzhou People will surely not dare to say anything."
"Yang Zheng..."
Fong Qinian repeated the name, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
Yang Zheng is one of the few officials in Xiazhu who dares to confront the Yingzhou People. He has served in the Ministry of Justice for many years and has handled several cases involving the Yingzhou People, always enforcing the law fairly without leniency. Therefore, he holds a high reputation in the Xiazhu political scene.
"Yifan, do you think Yang Zheng will take this case?"
"He should accept it, as this case involves Yingzhou Spy, and we have solid evidence in hand. Yang Zheng has no reason to refuse."
"Alright, then we'll proceed as you suggested. I'll contact Yang Zheng immediately."
"Lord Xie."
...
After leaving Fong Qinian's Assembly Hall, I returned to my own Administrative Hall.
Yuan Bufei and Li Dangshi were waiting for me.
"Sir, what did you decide?"
"The Sir agreed to my plan and is preparing to hand over Ye Wu'er to the Ministry of Justice for trial as a serious offender."
"What should we do now?"
"Wait."
"Wait for what?"
"Wait for news from Yang Zheng."
...
The next morning, Yang Zheng sent someone to have me hand over Ye Wu'er.
I handed Ye Wu'er over to the person who came, and Yuan Bufei accompanied him with a few brothers to prevent any accidents.
...
Seven days passed, and Yang Zheng held court.
In court, Ye Wu'er confessed to his crimes and insisted that he was a businessman from Liuzhou who came to Nanjiang for business. He claimed that his misconduct was due to drunkenness.
Due to the solid evidence of Ye Wu'er's crimes and his good attitude, Yang Zheng decided to be lenient and sentenced him to five years of hard labor in Border State, without imposing the death penalty.
...
After Ye Wu'er was tried, Yuan Bufei came to find me and asked why I didn't just execute Ye Wu'er.
I smiled but did not answer him.
In fact, this was a result of careful consideration on my part.
First of all, Ye Wu'er is an experienced spy. If he were unrepentant, executing him would be pointless and would only make the Yingzhou Secret Investigation Bureau more vigilant.
Secondly, although there was solid evidence against Ye Wu'er, he did not cause any actual losses, and the Xiazhu Army did not suffer significant damage as a result. Executing him hastily could easily lead to international disputes.
Finally, although Ye Wu'er is a spy, he has also provided us with a lot of important intelligence. In a sense, he can be considered someone who has contributed.
Based on these three points, I decided not to kill Ye Wu'er but instead let him face trial. This way, it could provide an explanation to the public and also keep the Yingzhou Secret Investigation Bureau in check.
Of course, I cannot say these words directly to Yuan Bufei; he must realize it on his own.
...
After the trial of Ye Wu'er concluded, I received an order from Fong Qinian, asking me to visit his Assembly Hall.
I arrived at Fong Qinian's Assembly Hall with confusion and paid my respects to him.
"Yifan, please sit," Fong Qinian gestured to a chair.
"Lord Xie."
I took a seat.
"Yifan, the plan you mentioned last time seems very feasible. I have already spoken with Lin Feng and decided to establish the Shadow Garb Bureau, with you as the Qianhu. What do you think?"
"Lord Xie, your support! I will serve you faithfully!"
"Yifan, I have reviewed the five individuals you selected; they are all quite good. Take them with you and do your best."
"I accept the order!"
