Emperor Ming Yuan smiled, "Why are you arguing with him? No matter how knowledgeable you are, can you be as knowledgeable as him?"
"That's not knowledge, that's common sense. It was cold yesterday, and the novice lit a charcoal stove for us to keep warm. Little did we know, the abbot actually said that this charcoal stove can also be poisonous."
Emperor Ming Yuan smiled, "Can the charcoal stove be poisoned? It's not impossible. If someone poisons it, won't it be poisoned?"
He calmly said: "Your Majesty thinks so too, right? But the abbot is stubborn. He said that if you only light a charcoal stove in a small room, there is no need to poison it. It is also fatal if the doors and windows are closed to prevent air circulation. I cannot agree with this statement.
"Charcoal stoves for heating have a long history, so why don't people die?"
"That's right." Emperor Ming Yuan seemed a little distracted, "Why don't we see those people who make charcoal stoves die? Where are the earth dragons in ordinary people's homes to keep warm? They all rely on making stoves."
He said calmly: "I also retorted in the same way."
"Then what did he say?" Emperor Ming Yuan put down the cup and looked at Jing Yan.
Calm Yan chuckled, "He began to emphasize that the house was small and could not let in the wind or ventilation. He said that most of the homes of ordinary people had convection holes, and the doors were not tightly closed, and the wooden doors had large gaps.
For example, he said that if a charcoal stove was lit in the palace where the eunuchs and maids lived, someone would probably die. Because the place was small, there were no windows to block, and there were iron doors, so it was really airtight.
Breathable.”
Emperor Ming Yuan's expression changed, "He really said that?"
Calmly said with a smile: "The emperor cannot believe him, this is absolutely impossible."
Emperor Ming Yuan's expression became strange.
After calmly speaking and leaving, he called Eunuch Mu Ru to come in and gave a few instructions.
When Eunuch Mu Ru heard this, he was startled, "Bringing prisoners on death row into the palace? Your Majesty, this is very dangerous."
"Just do it if I ask you to do it." Emperor Ming Yuan's face was actually a bit ferocious.
Eunuch Mu Ru trembled and left immediately.
Emperor Ming Yuan ordered Eunuch Mu Ru to lock the condemned prisoner in the room where the nuns lived in the palace, close the doors and windows, light the charcoal stove, tie the condemned prisoner to the bed, and not allow him to move.
After the next day, he asked Eunuch Mu Ru to let him out.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Mu Ru hurriedly came to report that the prisoner was dead.
Emperor Ming Yuan's hand trembled slightly, "Dead?"
"Dead."
"Ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look." Emperor Ming Yuan immediately ordered.
Eunuch Mu Ru went there immediately and came back to report shortly, saying: "The imperial doctor said that the prisoner died of poisoning."
"What kind of poison did you get?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked hurriedly.
Mu Rugong said: "The imperial doctor is investigating, but he can't tell the reason."
Eunuch Mu Ru hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, the way he died is the same as the way the nun who served the queen died."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him and remained silent for a while.
After a long time, he slowly gave the order, "Please invite the abbot of Huguo Temple to enter the palace!"
Eunuch Mu Ru accepted the order and ordered people to rush to Huguo Temple to invite the abbot.
The emperor occasionally summoned the abbot to the palace to make tea and talk about Zen, so the people in the palace did not feel anything strange.
Emperor Ming Yuan talked with the abbot for a long time in the study, and then ordered someone to pass on the chief minister.
After that, the chief assistant and Emperor Ming Yuan talked in the study for about half an hour, and then issued an order to ask the Ministry of Punishment to overturn Luo Guibi's case.
Luo Guibin's innocence has actually been confirmed.
However, to overturn the previous case, it is always necessary to conduct an investigation by the Yamen and then draw a conclusion.
The Chief Assistant of the Criminal Department was keeping an eye on the case, and the case was handled very quickly. With the presence of the expert witness, the abbot, the case soon came to light.
