Chapter 1095: It's All the Qin Family's Conspiracy

~9 min read 1,654 words

Chen Guanlou went down to the A-grade prison.

Master Qin had already woken up.

He didn't care whether the other party's body could bear it, and said directly to his face: "Last night, your family was poisoned. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and most people were saved. However, it is a pity that your little grandson and granddaughter are gone. And three servants died of poisoning."

Master Qin sat on the ground, his whole face gray. Hearing that his family was poisoned and his grandson and granddaughter had passed away, his expression appeared very slow, as if he hadn't reacted.

"Old Qin, are you okay?" Chen Guanlou was a bit worried; he wouldn't be stimulated too much and wouldn't be able to make it, right?

"Are they all alive?"

"Except for your little grandson and granddaughter, they are all alive."

"That's good!" Master Qin nodded slowly.

This reaction was not quite right; could it be that the poison in his body hadn't been cleared completely.

"Old Qin, I took your money but didn't protect your family well; I will refund half of the money to you."

"No need! You have already tried your best. Right now, which yamen is responsible for investigating the poisoning case of my family?" Master Qin asked in a slow tone.

Chen Guanlou pinched his chin, observing while saying: "The Ministry of Justice is responsible for investigating your family's case. This case has alarmed the palace; it is said that the Emperor is furious and ordered the Brocade Uniform Guards to investigate strictly."

"Did the Brocade Uniform Guards also intervene?"

"You seem very satisfied?" Chen Guanlou stared at the other party with a probing gaze.

The muscles on Master Qin's face twitched a few times, and he barely revealed a smile. "Satisfied! Of course satisfied! The Ministry of Justice does things too smoothly; it's still the Brocade Uniform Guards whose methods are cruel. The Brocade Uniform Guards intervened, haha... the man surnamed Liu is dead for sure this time."

Looking at the other party's appearance, Chen Guanlou's heart skipped a beat. For no reason, a sense of disharmony arose.

His intuition had always been very keen, and this case had developed to today...

"You should take good care of your body. It is said above that your case will also be retried. Barring any accidents, the Ministry of Justice will give your Qin family justice."

"Many thanks to Prison Warden Chen for these days."

"Take money to do things, honest and fair. No need to thank me. I will order the prison guards to add meals to help you nourish your body."

Chen Guanlou arranged everything and left the prison.

Returning to the office, he had a thoughtful expression, frowning.

Mu Yiguan Mu walked in holding his small teapot, burning water and making tea on his own.

After a while, he seemed to notice Chen Guanlou's abnormality and asked: "Does the Master have something on his mind?"

Chen Guanlou came back to his senses, leaned over, helped burn the water, and asked as if chatting about family affairs: "Is Liu Changrong a fool?"

"Of course not. If he were a fool, in these ten or twenty years, it would be impossible for him to be supported by noble people all the way. Noble people are not fools; they support him because they naturally see that he is a talent worth cultivating."

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly to show approval; this statement made sense.

"Enduring for ten or twenty years, suddenly making a big move, first throwing Master Qin into prison, and then forcing the eldest Qin daughter to death. Logically speaking, next he should continue to play with the mouse like a cat, cleaning them up one by one. Why did he suddenly change his previous style and poison them all? Do you feel bewildered, weird?"

This was exactly Chen Guanlou's doubt.

Liu Changrong is by no means a fool; a fool could not have made it to this day, as they would have been finished off by someone halfway through. Looking at his methods for dealing with the two daughters of the Qin family, this man is vicious and base, but the key is that he knows how to protect himself and how to distance himself from trouble. He forced people to their deaths without breaking the law, making a perfect escape.

Poisoning the Qin family to destroy the family didn't fit the image he had built before.

Mu Yiguan Mu said while brewing tea: "Old man felt something was wrong before. Poisoning Master Qin is still understandable, but poisoning the whole Qin family to destroy the family, what is he plotting?"

"Such a big case, the Ministry of Justice intervened, and sooner or later they will find him. No matter how perfect the case is done, once the grievances between the two families are made public, and it involves the case, even if they can't find evidence, he will definitely be affected. If it's serious, he might be dismissed from his post, and wouldn't the efforts of ten or twenty years be in vain."

Public opinion is fearsome!

Public opinion is equally important for officials in the officialdom!

The so-called 'impeachment by wind' is not just talk.

The power of the Censorate, I think anyone who is an official doesn't want to experience it. That group of censors always has a few who don't fear power and are iron-headed. Once the truth is poked, it's enough for Liu Changrong to eat a pot! Added to the intervention of the Brocade Uniform Guards, it's just that it can't end well.

"So we thought of the same thing; there is an inside story to this poisoning case of the Qin family."

Mu Yiguan Mu drank tea and asked casually: "Does the Master want to remind the Ministry of Justice?"

"Of course not! I am only responsible for guarding the prisoners, not for investigating the case. Don't overstep the boundaries; this is the principle! The two of us, chatting privately about the case, is just to pass the time. What the truth of the case is has nothing to do with us."

Mu Yiguan Mu nodded repeatedly. "That's very good! At first, this old man was worried that the Master would be too impulsive and go to remind the Ministry of Justice."

Chen Guanlou shook his head and laughed at himself. "We can think of it, and the Ministry of Justice must also have people who can think of it, seeing the doubts in this case. In short, poisoning is a fact, and death is a fact. Whether Liu Changrong suddenly became a fool is not important. What is important is that he cannot remove himself!"

At this moment...

Yu Residence!

Liu Changrong was kneeling in front of Yu Zhaoan. "Prime Minister, this subordinate was wronged! The Qin family is already a fish on the chopping block, waiting for me to slaughter. How stupid would I be to choose poisoning, a method that hurts the enemy by a thousand and damages myself by eight hundred.

I have time and energy to play with the Qin family. I want to give them hope, and then personally shatter their hope. I want to make their whole family fall into a desperate situation step by step, whether it's suicide or killing in anger, in short, it's impossible to implicate this subordinate.

This subordinate had long planned everything, and it is absolutely impossible to lift a stone and hit my own feet, causing trouble halfway and implicating myself. Prime Minister, please be clear; the poisoning case is definitely someone framing me!"

He said it with deep emotion and clear logic.

Waking up early this morning and hearing that the Qin family was poisoned and almost destroyed, he was stunned.

He dared to swear that he absolutely did not send anyone to poison the Qin family; he didn't need to do so. The Qin family was already in his palm and was dead for sure. He didn't need to change the plan at all and put himself in a passive situation.

Yu Zhaoan played with a string of Buddhist beads and let out a cold snort. "So, you admit that you are indeed targeting the Qin family."

Liu Changrong could be considered a man, and he didn't deny it, but admitted it generously: "Prime Minister, please be clear; this subordinate has been resentful because of the engagement breaking back then. That's right, this subordinate is indeed targeting the Qin family."

Yu Zhaoan's expression was indifferent. "According to what this official knows, the eldest Qin daughter encountered an accident, ruined her purity, and had to break off the engagement and marry into the Shi family."

Liu Changrong instantly became agitated. "That was clearly the Qin family's excuse. The Qin family just disliked the poor and loved the rich, and looked down on me because my Liu family was defeated. They even pretended to support me. These are all the Qin family's conspiracies! Prime Minister, you must not be deceived by the Qin family!"

"You say those are all the Qin family's conspiracies. Then I ask you, in the years when you were most difficult, was it true that the Qin family raised you, and was it true that the Qin family provided for your studies and hired famous teachers to teach you? Was it true that you took revenge on the Qin family and harmed the life of the second Qin daughter?" ===== CHAPTER 1096 =====

"You say those were all the Qin family's conspiracies. Then I ask you, in those years when you were at your most destitute, was it true that the Qin family raised you? Was it true that the Qin family provided for your schooling and hired famous teachers to instruct you? Is it true that you took revenge on the Qin family and harmed the life of the Qin family's second daughter?"
