Chapter 1706: I want to set up a monument! Not enough money!

~8 min read 1,546 words

Regarding Qu Yuan's clamoring before death, the Ministry of Justice officials had their own judgment.

Similar situations, they hadn't seen a thousand times, but they had seen a hundred times. They all thought that by clamoring before death, they could overturn the facts and successfully exonerate the person behind the scenes.

Dream on!

"Truly too arrogant!"

"Don't know how much money he received, still not telling the truth when death is imminent."

"This is a dead soldier, no doubt!"

"Who exactly did Zhang Yushi Wang have a grudge with, to the point that someone bought a killer, not hesitating to assassinate him in the street."

"Seeing the murderer is about to die, how should this case be investigated next?"

Everyone looked at the backbone, Sun Daoning.

Sun Daoning was rejoicing and sighing in his heart; he was still worrying about how to investigate Zhang Yushi Wang smoothly and naturally, never expecting the criminal Qu Yuan to be so cooperative, giving him a ready-made reason.

"The criminal is about to die, so investigate the victim. Start from Zhang Yushi Wang, investigate who he had a grudge with, why he had a grudge, and you can always find clues. Everyone, this case is personally supervised by His Majesty, so don't be careless. No matter what, this case must be investigated clearly, let the truth be brought to light, and let His Majesty know the ability of our Ministry of Justice. The Brocade Uniform Guard has been suppressed for two years, you have all seen it. If you don't want the Ministry of Justice to be suppressed, give the old man a good job, take out your skills, and don't let go of any clues!"

Sun Daoning was full of official power, taking the opportunity to set the tone.

"My lord is wise!"

"It should be started from Zhang Yushi Wang, investigate well, and you can always find some clues."

They were all a group of old hands in criminal justice; they might not be good at other things, but they were very good at investigating cases.

Sun Daoning took the people and left excitedly. Before leaving, he gave Chen Guanlou a wink.

Chen Guanlou understood in a second.

After sending the people away, he entered the side room.

Qu Yuan was already breathing more than he was breathing in, and it looked like he wasn't going to make it.

He asked Medical Official Mu, "How is it? How much time is left?"

"It's just a matter of a moment."

Chen Guanlou snapped his fingers in Qu Yuan's ear, "Brother Qu, your performance today was very good. Any last words to explain, tell me, and I will definitely handle what can be handled for you."

Qu Yuan didn't expect death to come so quickly, so powerless, that even doing something as simple as lifting his eyelids took all his strength.

So this is what death is like.

He looked vaguely at the Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen in front of him, "My lord, dig me a grave, can you?"

"Rest assured, the Heavenly Prison is responsible for collecting your corpse, encoffining, and burying you; the whole set won't cost much money."

"I want to set up a monument!"

"Not enough money!" Chen Guanlou refused ruthlessly.

A criminal who should have been sliced into a thousand pieces, not going to the execution ground for slow slicing was already an extra grace, yet he still wanted to set up a monument; what good things was he thinking of. Keep dreaming.

Qu Yuan gave a bitter smile, his eyes already unable to open, leaving only the last breath hanging.

"I am not reconciled!"

"Zhang Yushi Wang is already dead, Master Zeng's family's great grudge has been avenged, what are you not reconciled about. Instead, it's you who owe me the favor that hasn't been repaid."

"I want to set up a monument!" Qu Yuan struggled to say, "In case someone offers incense in the future..."

"The Qu family is dead."

"Fellow disciples..."

"Fine, after you die, I will have people burn paper for you, burn a lot. Don't think about setting up a monument, be careful of being dug up and grave-robbed. After all, you assassinated an official in the street, a heinous crime, it's impossible to set up a monument. Law and reason don't allow it! Once discovered, your master's sect will be implicated."

Hearing that the master's sect would be implicated, Qu Yuan immediately gave up the idea, "I won't set up a monument! Many thanks to the lord for the reminder!"

"The brain is a good thing. In the next life, use your brain more, don't think of one thing and then another, don't do things by a single track of mind. Any other wishes?"

"I want to eat pork knuckle, want to eat roast goose, want to eat roast chicken, want to eat the hometown's..."

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed his last breath.

Chen Guanlou confirmed the other party's death, sighed, and ordered the servants to collect the corpse, the coroner to examine the corpse, the clerk to register, and report to the Ministry of Justice to cancel the name as soon as possible. Settling a case!

Medical Official Mu silently recited a Buddha's name.

Thank heaven and earth, this case is finally settled! From now on, no matter what happens, it won't drag the Heavenly Prison into it.

He is safe again.

Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's luck is truly nothing to say. In any situation, the other party is at ease and passes through smoothly.

However, he still couldn't help but remind, "My lord, don't take risks and play with power next time. For such a person, it's not worth it!"

"You are right! Next time I will try to be more careful. You cooperate with the coroner to examine the corpse, don't leave any horse's feet."

"My lord, rest assured, other skills the old man can be humble about, but the skill of poisoning, I have it in my hand."

"Very good!"

Chen Guanlou felt relieved.

Sun Daoning paid attention to his own situation, plus Chen Guanlou's repeated brainwashing and reminders, and during the period, he went back and forth with the imperial villa with official documents and letters, and vaguely discovered the movement.

It really was as Chen Guanlou predicted; Emperor Yuanding used the case of Zhang Yushi Wang being assassinated in the street to make trouble, and was launching an impeachment, letting the officials in the capital discuss it one by one. Clearly, he wanted to make this matter big, making the Government Affairs Hall unable to step down.

Those young officials from the Jixia Academy rushed the hardest, and could be called the best eagles and dogs in the Emperor's hands, even easier to use than the Brocade Uniform Guard.

The Ministry of Justice hadn't found the mastermind behind the scenes for a long time, and someone had already started firing at the Ministry of Justice.

Sun Daoning, as the Minister, bore the brunt and was pushed out to hold the firepower in front.

He could only order the officials below, "Investigate well, investigate quickly. Must find some real material from Zhang Yushi Wang. If it really doesn't work, start from the Wang family! If I can't get better, you all, one by one, will all bear the consequences. In short, the wind in the court is not quite right, everyone don't hold a lucky heart."

It is as the saying goes, the mountain rain is about to come.

Even if the political sense is dull, from Emperor Yuanding's grand mobilization of officials in the capital to discuss the case, one can feel that the sky is about to change! Just don't know the scale of this time, and how many people will be implicated.

Because the Emperor is not in the palace, the dignitaries are following, so the capital appears exceptionally quiet.

The common people even have a rebellious thought that the capital without an Emperor is the best capital. Truly achieving living and working in peace.

Even the yamen runners and helpers who are usually not a day without, have recently relaxed, opening one eye and closing one eye to everything.

As long as the higher-ups loosen their hands a little, the common people's days can visibly get better.

Everyone is hoping that the Emperor will stay in the imperial villa for a few more days, preferably never coming back for a lifetime.

The Emperor not returning to the palace, impossible!

Originally decided to return to the capital after the autumn harvest, when the weather cooled down.

As a result, the Emperor returned to the capital more than a month early.

The common people didn't know the reason and thought it was normal.

The officials in the capital were all facing a great enemy, their faces changed greatly. If no accident happened, how could the Emperor end the imperial villa journey more than a month early. One must know, as an Emperor, going out of the palace once is not easy. Far more difficult than dignitaries.

If an accident happened, what kind of accident could make the Emperor return to the palace more than a month early?

There is always a feeling that something big is wrong! ===== CHAPTER 1707 =====
