The scene in front of me was unexpected.

The middle-aged man actually chose to die by himself.

Seeing him fall down with a bloody face after hitting the wall, the prince of the Yuan Kingdom still had a calm face.

In his opinion, it was nothing more than the death of a person, and the only thing that surprised him was that this person was even dead, and he was unwilling to tell a secret that would make him prosperous and rich and enjoy inexhaustible.

Why?

The prince in white sighed slightly, he couldn't figure it out.

In the courtyard, the woman was crying in despair, the child was crying, and the woman stepped forward and hugged the man's body.

The man was not dead yet, he looked at his wife and tried to smile as much as he could:

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, our family might have died in the first place...... If it weren't for Your Majesty, this Chu State wouldn't know what the chaos would become...... I can't...... What can not be done to contribute usefully......

I can only ...... I can only do my best to maintain it...... The interests of the country...... Don't betray my homeland...... Rong Niang, you have to understand me...... Because I don't want anything to happen to your mother and son......"

The woman hugged her husband and wept with rain and said, "I understand, I understand...... It's all my fault, I've fallen for the traitor, I hurt you......"

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, but at the weakest moment, he suddenly put his mouth into the woman's ear and whispered weakly:

"Rong Niang...... Go to the Royal Palace...... If a thief wants to steal the country's heavy weapon, he will get rid of it......"

The voice fell, and the middle-aged man's head hung down, and he lost his breath.

The woman wept bitterly, and the child cried out for his father.

Not far away, the prince in white got up and shook his robe, as if he was quite disgusted because he was sitting on a chair in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, do you want to kill this pair of women?" A subordinate asked.

The white-clothed prince glanced at the mother and son with contempt, and said lightly:

"Two ants, why bother, let's go!"

This is not soft-heartedness, this is not mercy on the part of his subordinates, this is disdain, feeling that there is no need to kill, too lazy to kill.

Even he felt that the death of one person was just a small thing, but the death of two more people always had a bad impact.

So, he fluttered, turned around and left.

Let the woman in the courtyard cry, as if, did not affect his mood in the slightest.

The prince in white left, returned to the Sifang Pavilion, and said to his subordinates lightly:

"Looking for another worker's family, the same method of coercion and temptation, I don't believe it, the people of this Chu country are so hard-boned."

The subordinates immediately left, and on the side, the princess of the Yuan State said: "Brother Huang, won't the emperor of Chu be noticed by doing this?" ”

"In this huge imperial capital, millions of people, one or two died, who knows? This kind of murder is also investigated by Shuntianfu, and it is impossible for the emperor to know about it, and it is impossible to find out to us. ”

The prince of the Yuan Kingdom is not worried!

However, he didn't know that it was all, because this was the Chu State, so everything was different.

On the same day, the murder was learned by the Shuncheon Prefecture, and according to the confession provided by the woman, it was indeed difficult to find out who it was.

It stands to reason that this kind of case is easy to drag on and be closed.

However, since Qin Ming came to power, there have been strict regulations in the Chu State, and the murder case must be investigated.

Especially in the imperial capital, it is never possible to stop this kind of murder.

Of course, during the whole process, the woman did not mention that the other party pressed her husband to ask for printing house technology.

She did not trust some officials, listened to her husband's wishes before he died, and the next morning, she took the child and knelt at the gate of the palace outside the palace.

After Qin Ming ascended the throne, there was a rule that if the people were wronged, they could kneel outside the palace gate for half a day, and someone in the palace must come out to record the grievances of the kneeling people and report to Qin Ming.

This regulation has been set, and in the past six months, only one or two people have done this, and Qin Ming has dealt with it.

Later, no one came to kneel, because many things, when they arrived at Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple, they could basically be properly handled, and there was no one who had any big grievances to deal with with the emperor.

Therefore, early this morning, a pair of women kneeling here attracted the attention of many people.

Including the hundred officials of the previous dynasty.

Among them, an official of Shuntianfu stepped forward to ask the woman and asked her if she had any grievances, but she could go to Shuntianfu to report it first.

However, the woman just shook her head.

She listened to her husband, she believed in the court, she believed in the emperor, but she didn't dare to trust all the officials.

The other party dares to come to her house openly to coerce and lure, it doesn't matter if someone dies, yes, it must be a powerful person.

Therefore, I am also worried that such an important matter will be terminated by some unrighteous officials because of some interests.

Therefore, listening to her husband's last words, it is necessary to inform the Son of Heaven in full about this matter......

The ministers asked to no avail, and they left.

In the main hall, Baiguan and Qin Ming began to discuss the government.

By the time the court meeting ended, almost half a day had passed.

At this time, a Praetorian Guard, carrying a piece of paper, walked up to the main hall and said:

"Your Majesty, a woman outside has been kneeling with her son for a long time, and has written down his grievances."

Qin Ming asked the eunuch to bring it up, and the officials who were about to retreat from the dynasty also stopped one after another.

I want to see what's going on.

However, after Qin Ming finished reading what he wrote, his face was furious and he shouted:

"Damn it, come on, invite that woman and her child in, and leave the hundred officials!"

After a short time, the woman and the child arrived at the main hall and immediately fell to their knees crying.

Qin Ming got up and came down and said, "What is said on this paper, but the facts? ”

"It's true, how dare a woman deceive Your Majesty......" said the woman.

Qin Ming took a deep breath: "Shuntian Mansion Yin, is the case of this woman's husband's death clear?" ”

Shuntian Mansion Yin was so frightened that he hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, the minister is clear, the minister is investigating, and I don't know why she has to come to sue the royal court......"

"Clear? Did you know that her husband is from a paper printing factory? Qin Ming asked.

Shuntianfu Yin said: "The minister knows ......"

"The murderer pressed her husband to make paper and printing, but her husband refused to give it and committed suicide, do you know?" Qin Ming asked again.

Shuntianfu Yin was shocked: "What? The murderer pressed paper printing? This...... This woman did not tell me...... Your Majesty! ”

Qin Ming asked the woman, "Why didn't you tell him this important detail and the murderer's motives?" ”

The woman cried and said, "My father-in-law used to be in the printing house, and he experienced the corruption of the household officials at the beginning, so he didn't trust some officials very much.

Such an important matter, if this matter does not reach His Majesty at all, the country will be in danger. Before he died, the Prime Minister instructed me that I must inform Your Majesty not to let thieves steal the country......"

After Qin Ming heard this, he was shocked in his heart!

The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, this is really, not an empty talk, at least at this moment, Qin Ming feels that it is not an empty talk.

Qin Ming looked at those ministers and said, "Do you see it?" I, the people of Chu State, would rather die than commit treason, but the people of my Chu State still don't believe in you officials, right, should I reflect on it? ”

Hundreds of officials knelt down: "The ministers are ashamed......"
