He also ordered someone to lead the way, and Zhao Yun came to the cell where Liu Qi was previously detained.
But when we got there, someone else was imprisoned inside.
"Where are the people?" Zhao Yun asked with a solemn face.
Wu Quandao: "Returning to your majesty, Liu Qi committed suicide out of fear of his crime, and his body was burned after he was found dead."
"Burned?"
Zhao Yun was obviously angry and glared at Wu Quan angrily, saying: "You said he committed suicide out of fear of crime, and I won't fight with you. But for the past few days, can't we just wait?
Even if we can't wait, can't we bury it? We can dig it out later to see if there are any other clues. Now that you've burned it, who should I turn to?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. I don't know much about this matter. If your Majesty wants to know the details, I will summon all my colleagues so that your Majesty can ask questions."
"Of course I have to ask. Not only do I have to ask, I also have to ask one by one. I also want to find your minister. I can't see anyone all day long and I don't know what he is up to. Don't let me catch him.
Drink flowers and wine during his duty hours, otherwise, he will look good."
"Yes, yes, I will do it now, I will do it now."
Facing the furious Zhao Yun, Wu Quan and other officials from the Ministry of Justice were also frightened and unsure of what to do.
They were unsure and scared. It was not surprising that Zhao Yun, a dignified emperor, used some small yellow gates to prevaricate the case when he was being assassinated. The clay figure still had a bad temper, not to mention the emperor, who would only be evil if he didn't get angry.
It's just that they didn't know that Zhao Yun was directing and acting in this major murder case.
Wu Quan hurriedly summoned the relevant people and was extremely nervous. Zhao Yun was sitting in the lobby of the Criminal Department, looking aloof.
Xia Gui and Xia Youze stood on the left and right behind Zhao Yun. Not to mention, this scene was really majestic, a hundred times more majestic than a group of small yellow men standing beside them;
Officials from the Ministry of Justice were summoned one after another. Seeing Zhao Yun's incomparable majesty, their hearts were pounding with fear. They did not dare to say anything. They raised their hands to salute. After receiving Zhao Yun's permission, they all stood aside obediently.
Li Zhixiao, the Minister of Punishment, was the last one to arrive, but he did not look panicked. He was calm and composed, obviously not frightened by Zhao Yun's momentum.
Li Zhixiao is Shi Miyuan's confidant and has seen countless big scenes, so naturally he is not that easy to fool.
Li Zhixiao raised his hand in salute and said: "I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I was negligent. Please forgive me."
"snort."
Zhao Yun saw that his opening did not frighten him, so he snorted dissatisfied and said: "Li Zhixiao and Li Dashangshu, you have such great official authority. You walk slowly and speak softly in front of me. What do you want to do?"
Treat me like a child!"
When Li Zhixiao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, thinking to himself, why did this official, who used to have a soft temper, become so tough?
After a moment of silence, Li Zhixiao knelt down and apologized, saying: "I have no intention of treating Your Majesty with disrespect. It's just that I am weak, walk slowly, and speak softly. I have been like this since I was a child. Please forgive me."
Zhao Yun wanted to give him a blow, so he didn't let him get up, and just let him kneel down and reply.
"Where is Liu Qi's suicide note?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Liu Qi's suicide note has been sealed and will be available for review by all the chief officials during the meeting of the three departments."
"Bring it here, I want to see it."
"this,,,"
"Why, you see it, but I can't see it?"
"No, no, no, it's just that this is a bit out of order."
"Then I must see it?"
"My lord, my lord, go and get it right now."
Li Zhixiao was really afraid of Zhao Yun's mouth, and he really had no ability to resist at all.
Soon, Liu Qi's suicide note was handed over to Zhao Yun.
At first glance, it was written that Liu Qi served Zhao Yun and was often beaten and scolded by Zhao Yun. Moreover, Zhao Yun seemed to be as good as Long Yang and had special needs for Liu Qi.
Liu Qi felt aggrieved, but had nowhere to complain, so he sneaked in when Zhao Yun was in a hurry that day and hit Zhao Yun's head with a vase. However, he himself was so frightened afterwards that he collapsed on the ground.
This suicide note is too ridiculous. Even if Long Yang is good, then you Liu Qi must be at least a man. You are a eunuch. What a big deal.
After Zhao Yun read it, he threw it heavily on the case, his face turned livid, and he said, "Do you believe the content in this?"
Zhao Yun asked Li Zhixiao if they believed it. Li Zhixiao, Wu Quan and other officials from the Ministry of Justice were all trembling and silent, for fear of being used as a punching bag by Zhao Yun, and no one dared to answer.
How do they answer this?
If you believe it, then you just believe that Zhao Yun is such an emperor. Do you still want your life?
If you don’t believe it, then if you don’t believe it, how come this suicide note became an important piece of evidence to close the case?
"Li Zhixiao, this is your case, what do you think I am?"
Zhao Yun's few simple words completely overturned the conclusion of the Ministry of Justice. In the past, they were thinking about closing the case as soon as possible, but now they are probably thinking about how to calm Zhao Yun's anger.
"I am guilty of death, and I beg your majesty to forgive me."
Li Zhixiao couldn't argue, so he knelt on the ground and confessed.
Zhao Yun was not polite and said directly: "Li Zhixiao's corpse is in plain sight. He does not know what is right and what is wrong. He will be detained for one month to reflect. The Ministry of Punishment is temporarily represented by the Minister of Justice Wu Quan."
"this,,,"
Li Zhixiao didn't expect that Zhao Yun would put him in solitary confinement. He had embarrassed himself just now and made him kneel down to answer questions. If this spread, wouldn't he be laughed at to death?
Li Zhixiao bravely said: "Your Majesty, you have not yet taken charge of the government, so the punishment of senior officials in the ministry still needs to be discussed between the Queen Mother and Mr. Shi."
Zhao Yun's eyes immediately widened, as if they were about to burst out. He was so frightened that Li Zhixiao did not dare to say anything else.
"Snapped."
Zhao Yun casually picked up the gavel tree, slapped it on the table, and shouted: "I am the emperor, and I follow the law as I say. Li Zhixiao, you have no emperor and father, what crime should you do?"
Zhao Yun suddenly became angry and his momentum was as overwhelming as a mountain. Everyone, including Li Zhixiao, was so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
After Li Zhixiao was properly dealt with, Zhao Yun left the prison of the Criminal Department.
After Zhao Yun left, Li Zhixiao's temper got worse. He was very angry and said, "The officials are too bullying. It's just a matter of letting this official know how to behave. It doesn't matter if the official doesn't do it."
After saying that, Li Zhixiao turned around and returned to the class room, hurriedly wrote a resignation letter and ordered it to be sent to the political hall. Of course, Zhao Yun didn't know all this yet.
"Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Xia Gui asked Zhao Yun after leaving the Ministry of Justice.
Zhao Yun finally got Empress Dowager Yang's order to investigate this case personally. Of course, he had to get to the bottom of it and dig as much as he could to muddy the water.
"Xia You, I ordered you to send people to find out the details of Liu Qi. There must be someone behind him. This person must be the person who forced him to death, and the murderer who assassinated me will most likely be him."
