After discussing these matters, Ji Yuan finally asked, "How does the Great General plan to deal with Qiu Zhi and Xun Zu?"
Zhao Hanzhang snorted coldly, "For Xun Fan's sake, I'll spare Xun Zu this time. As for Qiu Zhi, send him to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow morning to be punished for insulting a superior."
At the moment, severely punishing Xun Zu and Qiu Zhi would only cause panic among the old ministers' faction, potentially causing disruptions to established affairs.
Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang did not make things difficult for Qiu Zhi and specifically handed him over to Zeng Yue instead of Yuan Li.
Zeng Yue indeed did not make things difficult for Qiu Zhi, only locking him in a small dark room overnight. When brought out the next day, they found him severely frightened and had to carry him to the Ministry of Justice.
