Chapter 433
When Lu Heng said this, the emperor understood. Hong Wanqing had a fever first, and then went to ask Lu Heng. The fainting was purely calculated, and the consequences were self-inflicted.
It's okay to scold Lu Heng for not understanding Lianxiang Xiyu, but it's not okay to let him take the blame.
In the eyes of the emperor, the careful tricks of the female family members were like a joke. The emperor said: "After all, they are the family members of the hero. The heart of a military general. After a few days, you can find a reason to bring Guo Xun to the prison."
Jinyiwei has its own special prison, the imperial prison, and has independent arraignment rights without passing through the Sixth Department and Dali Temple. Entering the imperial prison of Jinyiwei means that life and death are decided by the emperor, and the six divisions can no longer intervene.
Lu Heng agreed. There are many prisoners of this kind, and they even set up a special area to store these "criminals" who can't be released or killed. Some people even stayed inside for two or three years, waiting for the emperor to calm down before letting go.
After the emperor ordered, Lu Heng did not delay, and went to interrogate Guo Xun the next day. Jin Yiwei has the right to investigate the relatives of the royal family and does not need to show any evidence. Lu Heng proposed to interrogate Wuding Hou Guoxun, but the prisoners could not think of any reason to stop him.
The jailer led Lu Heng to the cell. He unlocked the door and said, "Captain Lu, Marquis Wu Ding is inside, please do it yourself."
Lu Heng looked inside, Guo Xun was sitting with his back to the prison door, as if looking at the light from the skylight. Lu Heng didn't have time to wait for Guo Xun to set the score, so he pushed open the wooden door and said, "Marquis Wu Ding, I'm sorry to disturb you. There are some things that need your cooperation. Come with me to the prison."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, Guo Xun remained motionless. Lu Heng was a frequent visitor to the Palace of Kings of Hell. He immediately realized that something was wrong, reached out his hand to stop his people, and said, "Don't move. Call the people from Tingyu to come over and ask the Marquis of Wuding."
Guo Xun is dead.
The emperor sat behind the imperial case with a sullen face, and slowly swept over the crowd of His Royal Highnesses.
The six scholars in the cabinet, Lu Heng, the commander of Jinyiwei, the Minister of Punishment, and the Minister of Dali Temple, are all here. The emperor looked at them and asked blankly, "What happened to Guo Xun's death?"
The emperor imprisoned Guo Xun and beat him, but the emperor never thought of letting Guo Xun die. Guo Xun is of great significance to the Northwest Army. The emperor is crazy, so he will joke about his northwest frontier.
Lu Heng was the first witness at the crime scene, and it was he who passed the news of Guo Xun's death to the emperor. Lu Heng glanced at the Minister of Punishment and Xia Wenjin with a half-smile, and stepped forward: "Reporting to Your Majesty, when the body of Marquis Wuding was found, this minister happened to be at the scene. The minister was originally ordered to ask Marquis Wuding to go to the imperial prison for investigation, but after he went to the court, he was not It was found that Marquis Wuding was sitting with his back to the corridor, motionless. The minister felt that something was wrong, so he immediately asked the people from the Ministry of Punishment to invite Marquis Wuding. Jinyiwei's people never stepped into the prison of Marquis Wuding and assassinated the Marquis of Wuding... Maybe you have to ask the Minister of Punishment. ."
The emperor endured his anger and looked at the Minister of Punishment: "The Marquis of Wuding has an accident at the place of the Punishment, what's your explanation?"
The back of the Minister of Punishment was already sweating. He didn't expect Lu Heng to be so bright. He didn't even step into the cell. The excuse he had prepared before was really untenable. But in front of the Holy Spirit, he didn't dare not to answer for a long time, that's even more of a guilty conscience.
The Minister of Punishment stammered: "I...I don't know. Maybe the Marquis of Wuding cooperated with the enemy and betrayed the country. He knew he was guilty and committed suicide."
Lu Heng snorted unabashedly from the side. The emperor obviously thought it was extremely absurd, and pointed at Lu Heng with a cold face: "Lu Heng."
Lu Heng lowered his eyes and cupped his hands: "This minister is here."
"It is limited to you within ten days to find out the cause of Marquis Wuding's death."
"The minister obeys the order."
After coming out of the imperial palace, the ministers walked in the Xiyuan with long grass and beautiful lakes and mountains, silent all the way. When leaving the Xiyuan Palace gate, Lu Heng took a wrong step and fell to Xia Wenjin's side, and said in his ear: "Xia Shoufu, when it comes to learning, I am far behind you. But when it comes to murder, you are far worse than me. "
Xia Wenjin looked sideways slightly, Lu Heng looked at him with a smile, Taohua's eyes were full of indistinct yīn serenity: "You shouldn't come to provoke me."
Chapter 136 Destruction
Wang Yanqing is supervising Lu Xunbahong in the mansion. Next year, he will enter the palace to read as a companion to King Yu, and he cannot relax his etiquette and knowledge. Wang Yanqing didn't ask him to be rich or noble, as long as he was safe and sound.
Halfway through writing, Lingxi suddenly walked in from the outside and said, "Madam."
Wang Yanqing looked at Lingxi's expression and knew that something had happened outside. She made Lingluan stare at Lu Xuan and wrote the remaining half of the paper. She took Lingxi out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lingxi was attached to Wang Yanqing's ear and said, "Madam, Marquis Wuding died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Governor was ordered to investigate the cause of Marquis Wuding's death."
Wang Yanqing's eyes widened in surprise, Marquis of Wuding died?
Last night, Lu Heng came back and told her that the emperor asked him to transfer Marquis Wuding to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei, presumably because he meant to take care of it lightly. After all, everyone knows that Guo Xun's collusion with the enemy is really nonsense.
The emperor let Xia Wenjin impeach Guo Xun, and after Guo Xun was imprisoned, he also implicated Yongding Houfu and Zhenyuanhoufu, just to take the opportunity to beat Guo Xun.
In recent years, Guo Xun has become more and more drifting. He even dared to write "The Legend of Heroes and Martyrs". The emperor was grateful for his support, and he has been kind to the Guo family all these years. After Guo Xun compiled the "Brave of Heroes and Martyrs", the emperor also took advantage of the situation to posthumously seal Guo Ying.
