Chapter 1702: A move to divert the disaster

Qu Yuan's sword stab that assassinated Zhang Yushi Wang was still half an inch away from the vital point.

Zhang Yushi Wang originally had a chance to survive.

However, who let this kid Qu Yuan cover the sword with golden juice, and it was golden juice mixed with human and animal, not even finding it disgusting. He didn't cherish his personal weapon at all, not like a martial artist.

It was very obvious that before the assassination, he had already prepared for failure and death. That was why he would ruin his own weapon.

It was this golden juice that took Zhang Yushi Wang's life.

The wound was infected, there were no antibiotics, and it was impossible to clean the wound completely; even if it were Medical Official Mu, he was powerless.

Two days!

It only took two days for Zhang Yushi Wang to breathe his last, dying exceptionally miserably.

The Wang family's sky had collapsed!

The current Zhang Yushi was assassinated in the street, and the news quickly reached the imperial villa.

Emperor Yuanding was furious.

When he learned that the criminal was caught on the spot, he felt a little relieved. Since the criminal was taken into custody by the Heavenly Prison, he ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate strictly, must clarify whether there was a hidden reason for this case, why the murderer assassinated the current Zhang Yushi, and whether he was instigated by someone!

A major case of killing an official; Sun Daoning returned to the capital from the imperial villa and personally sat in the Ministry of Justice to investigate this case.

The basic situation was investigated clearly, and it was time to interrogate the criminal Qu Yuan.

He learned that the criminal Qu Yuan had committed a murder case at the beginning of the year, killing an official of the Ministry of Revenue. Because the murderer could never be found, it was left unsettled in the end.

Good! Good!

It turned out to be a major case of consecutive killings of officials; what great courage.

Daring to consecutively assassinate officials in the capital territory.

And key, he succeeded.

This is intolerable!

This case definitely wasn't simple, there must be a hidden reason behind it. Sun Daoning guaranteed with his decades of professional career that there was something fishy behind it, and Qu Yuan killing an official would only drag out a heaven-defying case within a case.

He rushed to the Heavenly Prison, wanting to interrogate personally.

As a result...

He only saw the criminal lying on the pile of straw, running a fever, and the person was almost burning muddled. He was still wearing the clothes from the day he was caught, covered in blood. Just looking at the traces, one knew how dangerous that day was and how much blood had flowed.

"What's going on? It's been so many days, why hasn't the person recovered? Where is Medical Official Mu?"

"Reporting to my lord, this year the weather is hot, and to prevent epidemic disease, Medical Official Mu has been doing epidemic prevention work. The prisoners here are temporarily unable to be taken care of."

Last year, an epidemic disease killed half of the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, and the neighboring Zhao Prison died out completely. Even the Zhao Prison guards were killed.

What a painful lesson this was.

Therefore, as soon as summer arrived this year, Chen Guanlou formulated the most important task for this summer: epidemic prevention!

All work had to give way to epidemic prevention.

The prison guards were very cooperative.

Last year's lesson was still fresh in their minds; no one dared to guarantee that they were that lucky person who could survive if an epidemic came.

Learning that Medical Official Mu was busy with epidemic prevention, Sun Daoning couldn't blame him, and ordered: "Someone, hurry and invite Medical Official Mu. This criminal is very important, he absolutely cannot die. Even if he dies, he must go to court and explain the criminal facts clearly before he can die!"

This was a major case of killing an official that the Emperor was personally watching; there couldn't be the slightest mistake.

Medical Official Mu received the order, carried the medicine box, and brought his grandson Mu Wenxu to rush to the C-grade prison.

Chen Guanlou also came.

He was responsible for pacifying the anxious Sun Daoning.

"Hurry and treat the illness. How many days has this criminal been in, and he is sick so seriously, why didn't you report it?"

Chen Guanlou's gaze swept over the prison guards of the C-grade prison, as well as the prison clerk Huang Ye.

The prison guards were guilty!

Huang Ye was also guilty.

Guilt and guilt were different. The prison guards were guilty because they really neglected their duties and didn't report it.

Huang Ye was guilty because he followed orders and deliberately didn't report the illness. He was afraid that the Ministry of Justice officials would see the abnormality, so he could only bury his head, with a guilty look of not daring to look directly. Fortunately, there was a group of prison guards to set him off, and his guilt had a reasonable explanation.

The Ministry of Justice officials snorted coldly one after another.

A dog can't change its habit of eating shit.

The Heavenly Prison was still the same Heavenly Prison as before; even if there were some rules, it was only because they embezzled a little less.

"The prisoners in the prison cell lie like this every day. We didn't know he was sick so seriously." Huang Ye explained in a low voice.

"Enough, don't explain." Chen Guanlou interrupted directly, "Wait until this matter is finished, then I'll settle the account with you."

He was giving Huang Ye a reassurance.

With him here, this little problem wasn't a problem.

Huang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he passed!

Sun Daoning only cared about the criminal Qu Yuan's physical condition.

After Medical Official Mu finished taking the pulse, he asked hurriedly, "How is the situation? When can he wake up and accept interrogation?"

Medical Official Mu shook his head slowly, "I am afraid he cannot accept interrogation. This person's injuries are serious; when he was at the Six Shanmen, it was just roughly stopped bleeding. Coming to the Heavenly Prison, although he received treatment, his breath has already leaked. My lord, this person already has a will to die; even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal came, he would be powerless to return to heaven."

"Impossible!" Sun Daoning was so angry he gnashed his teeth, his face iron-blue, "Medical Official Mu, he can die. But before he dies, he must be made to open his mouth and explain the criminal facts. This person, within this year, consecutively assassinated two imperial court officials, and both succeeded. This is a major case! It is a major case personally supervised by His Majesty. I suspect he was instigated by someone behind the scenes; I must pry open his mouth. If it can't be done, everyone from the Ministry of Justice to the Heavenly Prison will have to bear the consequences!"

Sun Daoning used his official power to suppress people.

The Ministry of Justice officials following behind him all felt a sense of sorrow. They could all feel the oppressive tension, the pressure like Mount Tai.

Ministry of Justice officials are most afraid of handling major cases supervised by the palace. If it's handled well, it's expected; if it's not handled well, those who should be demoted are demoted, and those who should be punished are punished.

Medical Official Mu looked troubled, but he couldn't go against the Minister.

"The old man can only say I will try my best. Whether he can wake up and open his mouth to speak, it's a matter of these two days anyway. Two days later, he will definitely die! Unless he wants to live himself."

"Then I will give you two days. Someone, move the criminal Qu Yuan to the outer side room to watch. I will guard the Heavenly Prison for these two days and wait for him to wake up to ask questions."

The Minister of Justice said he would guard the Heavenly Prison, so what could the other officials do but guard the Heavenly Prison firmly.

And so, all the office rooms were vacated, and the side rooms for rest were vacated for the officials to rest.

Chen Guanlou was very disgusted.

He occupied an office room alone, and was very comfortable every day. Now he had to share with this old man Sun Daoning, facing each other day and night. He was almost annoyed to death.

Sun Daoning was also very irritable; he even suspected Chen Guanlou's loyalty.

He didn't hide his words; with the friendship between the two, there was no need to hide.

He asked directly, "The criminal Qu Yuan, does he have a relationship with you? He is so sick, is it your doing."

Chen Guanlou immediately shouted injustice, feeling extremely aggrieved, "Old Sun, speak with a conscience! I know you want to handle a major case, can I drag your hind legs? Am I that kind of person? You suspect me like this, does your conscience not hurt? These years, I have handled so many dirty and rotten things for you, yet you suspect me; you are truly too disappointing.

If you want to blame someone, blame the Wang family's guards for acting so ruthlessly. Did they think about the confession before acting? Perhaps they were just killing to silence him. I heard that the Wang family is a big family, and internal strife is extremely serious. Why don't you investigate from this direction."

Chen Guanlou also knew how to play the move of diverting the disaster. ===== CHAPTER 1703 =====
