Ye Chengguan hid in a hidden corner outside the Inspection Department Prison and witnessed a familiar figure entering the prison. Not long after he came out, he heard a panic and urgent shout: "No, it's not good."
No, no, Magistrate Wen committed suicide out of fear of crime."
Hearing this, he didn't show anything strange on his face. He smiled knowingly and left silently.
Returning to Jiangfang Station, as soon as he entered the room and sat down, he saw He Shiyin rushing over.
Not allowing him to speak, He Shiyin took the lead and asked with a very anxious tone: "I heard that my brother actually drew his sword against Yushi Caojiang today?"
"There is such a thing."
Ye Chengguan replied in a cold tone.
"Brother is so confused."
He Shiyin's words conveyed the intention of calling for an attack: "Brother knows that Liu Yan is from the Supervisory Council and has a high prestige in the entire central army. I heard that this man is also a confidant of King Fu. My brother's move today is not only an affront."
If you mess with King Yun, it will even disgrace King Fu."
"A real man has things to do and things not to do. Since I have given you the order to decentralize Jiangling City, I should perform my duties honestly and ask for orders for the people. How can I be timid?"
Ye Chengguan was a little surprised by her sudden arrival: "Ms. He came to visit late at night. She shouldn't just be here to ask questions, right?"
"I'm just worried about my brother's safety."
He Shiyin looked at him carefully and replied in a low voice: "My aunt was a little displeased when she heard that my brother had repeatedly offended officials at all levels to protect the Hua family's sister, so she specially sent a letter to ask her to come and inquire."
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly handed the letter to his hand.
Ye Chengguan took the letter and glanced at it roughly.
It was indeed my mother's handwriting, and she frowned slowly for a moment.
Mother never asked about her official duties, so how could she know about things in Jiang'an County?
Moreover, she has always understood justice well, and she should know that what she does is only for the public and has no selfish motives.
Silently glancing at He Shiyin, he instantly understood that someone must be stirring up trouble in front of his mother.
The only person in front of me who could convince my mother with this ability was Miss He.
He had heard some rumors about the affairs of the Li family and the Zhang family a few days ago, and had already guessed that Sun Tian's idea of plotting against the husband of the Li family was He Shiyin's work. Now she wanted to stir up trouble again and make him even more dissatisfied.
Regardless of the years of friendship, Ye Chengguan warned bluntly: "Shiyin, please call me brother. Considering the bond between my mother and you, I am willing to treat you as a foster sister. I have already spoken about official matters.
I don’t want to go into details, but my mother is my only relative in this world. If someone has ulterior motives and instigates the relationship between our mother and son, I will not be merciful."
When He Shiyin heard this, he immediately became anxious and explained: "What does brother mean by this? My little sister only respects her brother and her aunt, so how could she want to instigate? Doesn't it mean that what happened today does not mean that my brother thinks there is anything wrong with what my little sister asked?"
My brother has always been calm, but if it weren't for the Hua family's sister who insisted on going her own way, how could you have been so reckless and put your career in danger?"
Ye Chengguan slapped the table angrily, pondered for a moment, called out the door, called Lu Xiuyuan in, and ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to send Miss He back to Jiangling City immediately."
"Brother."
He Shiyin felt aggrieved. Thinking of his attitude towards Miss Hua's family, she felt very unfair. But before she could feel aggrieved, Lu Xiuyuan had already made an invitation gesture: "Miss He, please invite me."
Looking at her brother's determined eyes, He Shiyin secretly gritted his teeth and had no choice but to leave the Jiangfang station with full of resentment.
After calming down, Ye Chengguan stopped worrying about He Shiyin's matter, put away the letter, and continued to think about the murder of the inspection department.
It's no wonder that Liu Cheng and Tu Hong died so mysteriously but could not find a trace. It turned out that someone hid the murderer in the Inspection Department.
In this case, naturally no one dares to investigate thoroughly.
But Liu Cheng and Tu Hong were just minor officials in Jiangling City back then, and they would not have been involved in the affairs of the coal mines in Jiang'an County. Why did King Yun send a murderer to kill the two of them?
Could it be that King Yun also did other shameful things?
Thinking of this, he gradually had an idea in his mind.
As long as we keep an eye on the murderer, everything will be thoroughly investigated sooner or later.
After sitting quietly in the room for a while, Han Li from the Inspection Department suddenly rushed over to personally report the news of Wen Yuming's death.
Ye Chengbo pretended to be furious: "How does Judge Han Tong supervise prisoners? Today, this county has repeatedly warned us to keep good prisoners in custody. The prefect died in prison just after he was handed over to your inspection department."
Han Li was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and explained with a grimace: "Master Ye, it's not that the supervision of the lower officials was poor. The lower officials sent a lot of capable people, but Wen Yuming committed suicide by breaking a porcelain bowl when the jailer was delivering food.
."
"Suicide?"
Ye Chengguan pretended to be puzzled: "Han Tongpan, if I remember correctly, this is not the first time this has happened, right?"
Han Li seemed to have some realization: "Liucheng, I heard that Tuhong also committed suicide out of fear of crime."
"exactly."
Ye Chengguan took advantage of the situation and reminded: "It is not accidental that such emergencies happen again and again."
Han Li began to notice something, and whispered to Ye Chengguan: "Is it possible that the incident in Mount Paektu is actually related to His Royal Highness King Yun?"
"Bold."
Ye Chengguan said angrily: "Han Tongpan, you are really bold and dare to doubt His Highness Prince Yun."
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
Han Li was frightened by him and did not dare to discuss the matter with Ye Chenggui anymore, but the seeds of doubt were already planted in his heart.
Moreover, this kind of thing happens one after another. If we don't report it to His Majesty truthfully, the first person to be implicated in the future will be the Inspection Department.
These officials who relied on the imperial examination to become official are timid and cherish their feathers, but the Inspection Department is a knife in the emperor's hand, how can they hide their sharp edge.
Although he had already made up his mind, he still had to pretend to be respectful and asked: "Now that the matter is like this, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Please tell me, Mr. Ye, how to deal with this matter now?"
"Wen Yuming committed suicide out of fear of the crime. Even if the officials were asked about the crime, they couldn't find any reason. Since the county has handed over the matter to Han Tong, it is up to Han Tong to report the truth to the emperor."
Ye Chengguan explained something, and then deliberately warned: "Just when you are in front of His Majesty, Han Tongpan must be more cautious, and you must be careful with what you say just now. Although the Inspection Department only obeys your Majesty's orders, your Majesty will always be there after ten thousand years."
It is necessary to establish a crown prince, Han Tongpan should know that now that Concubine Xue is favored and Prince Yun is the most favored by His Majesty, it is uncertain who will inherit the great empire in the future."
"I understand."
Han Li was full of contempt for his words.
It is said that the official department is the official department of King Yun. Now it seems that it is definitely not a false rumor. I am afraid that the number one scholar has long become the lackey of King Yun. It is a good thing that your majesty trusts him so much.
If this continues, His Majesty's rights will not be emptied by His Royal Highness Prince Yun, and we have to guard against it.
So, he hurriedly said goodbye, returned to the Inspection Department, and reported the Jiang'an County affairs to Beijing overnight.
