Chapter 208: The Prison Guard's Treasure
"How did you die?" Liu Chengyou's color changed slightly, his expression was not good, he hated this kind of unexpected and uncontrollable thing: "Wu Desi can't even look at a prisoner?" ”
"What the prison warden reported, he didn't notice it for a while, Wang Jingchong committed suicide in fear of crime! The little one has seen it, and it hangs itself with a hemp rope and hangs in a prison! Zhang Dejun said.
"Would a person like Wang Jingchong commit suicide in fear of sin? It's ridiculous! Liu Chengyou only thought about it for a moment, and then affirmed in a certain tone: "After only one day and one night in prison, people will die, and there must be a hidden cause in it." Check it out, check it out for me! ”
"Yes!" Before returning to the hall, before he had time to rest, Zhang Dejun hurried away again, looking full of energy.
Leaning on the throne, Liu Chengyou closed his eyes and pondered, and in his breath, he was inevitably embarrassed. However, since the person is dead, he doesn't have to worry so much, and how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, thinking about it, his mind is becoming clearer and clearer.
After the winter, the chill between heaven and earth is more and more intense, lined with duck down, covered with mink fur, people are wrapped tightly, but after a while, they feel a burst of stuffiness, and their backs are sweaty. I pulled my robe and let the cold wind drill in, which made me feel more comfortable.
Zhang Dejun hurriedly came, panting, calming down his breath a little, and then said: "Qiqi official, the matter has been clarified!" ”
"Speak!" Liu Chengyou said directly.
"After a small inquiry, it was Wang Xiong, the director of the prison, who strangled Wang Jingchong to death at night and committed suicide in fear of crime!"
"Wang Xiong? I'm impressed! Liu Chengyou frowned.
Zhang Dejun explained: "Wang Xiong was originally the governor of Gyeonggi, but after Shouguo Gong stepped down, he repeatedly confronted Wang Jingchong because he was disobedient, so that he delayed his official business, and was later demoted to a prison official. Later, in the market, he encountered a brawl and broke a leg, it is said that Wang Jingchong made people behind him, and since then, Wang Xiong hates Wang Jingchong deeply! This time, Wang Jingchong was imprisoned, just within his jurisdiction, and he was murderous because of hatred! ”
"Huh! It's a revenge show! Hearing the narration, Liu Chengyou said: "What about Wang Xiong? ”
"Before the little one went to prison, he committed suicide!" Zhang Dejun replied.
After a little silence, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I put Wang Jingchong in the Wude Division Prison, thinking that he was in the office, and there were many party members, which could be protected. I didn't think about it, but I hurt him and hastened his death......"
"It's also his usual day, acting wantonly, too arrogant, and offending too many people, which caused this disaster!" Zhang Dejun said in a consoling tone that even though the man was dead, he boldly expressed his opinion.
Liu Chengyou nodded and said lightly: "It's still a pity!" The dignified public servant, the envoy of martial virtue, died at the hands of the jailer, but he can also sigh! The jailer is expensive, nothing more than that! ”
"Besides, there's one more thing." There was some hesitation, but Zhang Dejun still said.
Liu Chengyou only glanced at him, and Zhang Dejun immediately made it clear: "Together with Wang Jingchong, there is still one person dead in prison." After inquiry, his person is the former department of the former three divisions of Wang Xianggong, Wang Jingchong has a grudge with Wang Xianggong, and will be imprisoned for nearly a year. His prison was opposite Wang Jingchong, and he thought that his death should be extinguished by the prison warden......"
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "I don't know, how many things this Wang Jingchong has done behind my back!" ”
"Wang Jingchong seems to have two sons!" Liu Chengyou instructed: "Spread the edict, with his eldest son to take the title, and demote him to a first-class marquis." Let his family collect his body! ”
"Yes!"
No matter how heinous Wang Jingchong was during his lifetime, the heavens were angry and resentful, and since the person was dead, Liu Chengyou wanted to be harsh, and he also wanted to treat his heirs well. This has nothing to do with "the dead are great", but at this time, Liu Chengyou does not want to make any waves because of Wang Jingchong's incident, which shows his attitude.
"In addition, it is rumored that the capital of Gyeonggi has come to see me!"
Wu De Si is a subordinate of the chief and deputy envoys, who are known to all provinces, among which the Gyeonggi Governor has the highest status, based in Tokyo, and is the head of the house, the relatives and the detectives.
Li Shaoyou went to work, Wang Jingchong took the position, and he did not appoint a deputy envoy, and now Wang Jingchong is dead again, so that in the Wude Division, those who can be in charge are only known to Gyeonggi.
"Minister Zhou Can, knock to see Your Majesty!" In the Chongzheng Palace, Zhou Can, the capital of Gyeonggi, bowed to Liu Chengyou.
Both a little apprehensive, but also a little excited, this is the first time he has to go to the front of the emperor, so close contact with the Yellow Emperor, in the past, only the chief and deputy envoys have this opportunity. Now, for him, it can be described as a joy.
Zhou Can was originally Wang Jingchong's confidant, quite scheming, and was relied on as a think tank, and was repeatedly promoted until he reached a high position in Gyeonggi Metropolitan Knowledge.
Liu Chengyou looked at him, there was no recklessness, when he was born as a clerk, the whole person looked a little thin, and the two beards on his lips were very long, which was quite chic. Bowed down respectfully in front of the emperor, bowing his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes.
"You know everything in prison!" Liu Chengyou spoke.
Hearing this, Zhou Can seemed to have been prepared, and responded: "Unexpectedly, Wang Xiong has such a deep resentment against Ren Gong, the ministers are negligent, and the fault is very great, please Your Majesty punish the crime!" ”
"Now in the Wude Division, I am afraid that people's hearts are fluctuating, and when Wang Jingchong dies, it will be even worse!" Liu Chengyou instructed: "You go back to the office, be a stable subordinate, stabilize people's hearts, return to their duties, and take care of their affairs!" ”
"Yes!"
"In addition, the cause of Wang Jingchong's death is strictly sealed for me, this is a matter of Wu Desi, and it will be solved internally!" Liu Chengyou said in a deep voice.
Zhou Canyu said: "The minister has ordered that all the officials who know about this matter be controlled. When I go back, I will be strictly advised! ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at this person, he dealt with it appropriately and had a flexible mind, this is not a famous person in history, but it doesn't mean that he is incapable. Come to think of it, it is impossible to gain Wang Jingchong's trust under his hands and climb to the position of Gyeonggi Metropolitan Knowledge, without some vision and means.
After a little consideration, Liu Chengyou said directly: "I have heard that you are quite capable in handling things, and now the Wude Division has changed, so I will promote you to the deputy envoy of Wude, and temporarily handle the affairs of the secretary!" ”
Before being summoned to the palace, Zhou Can had already realized that maybe his opportunity had come, and he also had some expectations in his heart. Therefore, when he heard Liu Chengyou's words at this time, his expression was calm, but his tone was still a little excited: "Your Majesty trusts, thank you!" ”
"After Li Shaoyou, there is Wang Jingchong, after Wang Jingchong, who can master the Wude Division?" Liu Chengyou muttered softly, glanced at Zhang Dejun beside him, and his face once again showed a thoughtful look.
......
"Bian Gong, Zhong Cheng, that Wang Jingchong is dead!" In the Imperial History Agency, an imperial historian of the Taiwan Academy walked in quickly, and reported to Bian Guiyan and Zhao Litong, who were deliberating, with a happy face.
"What! How did he die? Bian Guiyan and Zhao Li glanced at each other, and they both showed a touch of surprise.
"The news came out that Wang Jingchong died of a violent illness at night, and he couldn't be treated!" Yu Shi smiled: "This thief is guilty of a lot of crimes, and if he dies in prison, it will be a curse of heaven, and he will be very happy!" ”
"Wang Jingchong's body has always been healthy, there is no illness or disaster, how could he suddenly die, here, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Bian Guiyan thought for a while and said.
Zhao Li also chimed in: "Yes! However, now that Wang Jingchong is dead, what should we do? The impeachment seal prepared before will be handed over again, on His Majesty's side, I am afraid that it will not be of much effect! ”
Bian Guiyan thought for a while and said: "As soon as Wang Jingchong dies, Wu Desi will inevitably be disheartened, this time, headed by Wang Jingchong, this dry minions, acting too much, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, they all hate it deeply." We can take this opportunity to make a suggestion and ask Your Majesty to dismiss Wu Desi, and no matter how bad it is, we should also restrain its power and put it within the imperial court system......"
"Bian Gong said this very much!" Zhao Li immediately agreed with Bian Guiyan's words.
"However, Your Majesty issued another edict to make Wang Jingchong's eldest son the marquis, which seems to have the intention of ending this matter." Goshi said.
"No matter how much, as the imperial history, we are responsible for supervision, and we have the right to admonish, and we can do our part well!" Bian Guiyan said: "This time, I must take the opportunity to persuade Your Majesty to reorganize the dynasty!" ”
After Bian Guiyan left, a trace of strangeness flashed on the face of Cheng Zhao Li in the imperial history, his expression became solemn, and he sat in his position and made a contemplative appearance.
"Zhongcheng, you seem to have doubts about this matter?" The imperial historian didn't leave, and asked softly.
Zhao Li glanced at him and said, "What do you think?" ”
Yu Shi looked left and right, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "The lower officials think that everything is too much. This time, because of the advice of the ministers, His Majesty was already dissatisfied. Wang Jingchong is dead, if he still holds on to this matter and does not let go, he is afraid that His Majesty will really be angry. Even if we uphold the public heart, it is difficult to resist, and the Son of Heaven is angry!
Wu Desi directly belonged to His Majesty, although he was reprimanded by the courtiers, he was an important weapon of imperial power. If Bian Gong wants to make a fuss about the existence of Wu Desi, it will be His Majesty who is confronting! Although His Majesty is the heir of the throne, he is the master of pioneering, and he has always been strong, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate! If it is added, it will be unpredictable! ”
