Yichun Hou Qiang cheered up and said, "That was many years ago, I, I've forgotten." ”

"You can't forget." King Huai glanced at him and said, "You will never forget these things for the rest of your life, and you dare not forget them......"

Yichun Hou said: "Your Highness......"

"This king can protect your family from death." King Huai looked at him calmly and said, "You only have this one chance. ”

……

Another cell.

Zhao Guogong looked at the Marquis of Yongping opposite, and sneered: "Do you know who is in charge of this case, it's not Tang Ning, it's His Royal Highness King Huai!" ”

"You still want to drag me to die with you?" Zhao Guogong took a sip and said, "Let me tell you, I am the uncle of King Huai, do you think he will fall into your trap?" ”

"Murdering the prime minister, assassinating the prince, blaming the emperor's relatives and relatives, cutting off your head is cheap for you, you should be executed by Ling Chi......"

……

Regardless of Zhao Guogong's loud shouting and eating, the Marquis of Yongping kept his face calm and did not say a word.

After a while, Yichunhou slowly walked back, his expression a little distracted, as if he had been drained.

Zhao Guogong looked at him and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yichunhou shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing. ”

Zhao Guogong scratched his back and said, "Aren't you a doctor before, my back hurts a little, can you help me see what is wrong......

Yichunhou leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and said: "I haven't seen people for more than 20 years, and my medical skills have long been forgotten......

"Stingy." Zhao Guogong glanced at him, lay on the wooden bed, pulled the quilt, and slept peacefully.

As time passed, the inside of the cell gradually darkened.

Zhao Guogong was lying on the bed, snoring, somewhere in the corner of the wall, leaning against the wall, Yichunhou, who had not moved for more than an hour, suddenly opened his eyes.

In the prison, there are two more ghostly lights.

Yi Chunhou stretched out one hand into his arms, and groped for a long time before he found a porcelain bottle, he uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill from the bottle.

He took the pill in his hand and leaned against the wall for a long time.

I don't know how long it took for him to slowly raise his head and stuff the pill into his mouth.

Inside the cell, there was only one sigh.

……

After receiving the assurance of King Huai, Zhao Guogong, who finally put his heart at ease, had a sweet dream all night, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.

He looked at Yichunhou who was sitting in the corner of the wall, and said in surprise: "You didn't sleep last night?" ”

Yichunhou leaned against the wall and did not answer.

Zhao Guogong walked over, pushed him, and said, "Hey, wake up......"

Poof.

Yichunhou fell to the ground, and a line of blood spread out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Guogong seemed to think of something, slowly squatted down, stretched out his index finger, and probed between his nose.

The next moment, his face changed wildly, he took two steps back sharply, and said loudly: "Someone, it's dead!" ”

In the opposite cell, Yongping Hou watched all this, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

……

Yichunhou died, committed suicide by poisoning himself in the prison of the Criminal Department, and when he was found the next day, he was already a corpse.

The autopsy report came out soon, and he committed suicide by taking poison, taking a strong poison, and after taking it, he would die in less than a cup of tea.

He used to be a physician, but because he made great contributions, he was knighted by Emperor Chen, and it is not uncommon to have this kind of method.

After ruling out the possibility of Yichunhou's homicide, Yichunhou's death was characterized as suicide in fear of crime.

As for the crime of fear, it is obvious that the Marquis of Yongping also intervened in the assassination of the right minister and King Huai.

In this way, several powerful families, including the Zhou family, cannot get rid of suspicion.

His Majesty was furious, and everyone's titles, including Zhao Guogong, were removed, family property was confiscated, Yongping Marquis and Yichun Marquis were designated as the main offenders, and the crime was increased by one degree, Yongping Marquis was sentenced to be beheaded, Yichun Marquis was dead, and his family could not escape the law, and they should be beheaded.

However, King Huai pleaded for Yichunhou's family in the court, Yichunhou died innocently, but the disaster did not hurt his family, his parents, wife and children were innocent.

In this case, King Huai and Tang Ning were the victims, he and Tang Ning pleaded at the same time, but His Majesty did not insist, so he agreed to them and let Yichunhou's family go.

When King Huai walked out of the main hall and walked towards Shangshu Province, he arched his hand to Tang Ning and said, "Thank you Lord Tang for what happened just now." ”

"Nothing." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Yichun Hou is guilty, and it will not hurt his family. ”

After speaking, he showed a suspicious look on his face and asked, "Is Yichunhou really afraid of crime and committed suicide?"

"The results of the investigation by the Criminal Department are as follows." King Huai said: "As for whether it is or not, only the dead Yichun Hou knows." ”

Yichunhou's suicide was somewhat unexpected by Tang Ning.

If he is the same as Zhao Guogong, he will not admit it to death, grit his teeth and insist, and the final result will be nothing more than cutting off the lord and copying his family, which can at least save his life, but he didn't expect him to choose this desperate road.

King Huai looked at him and said, "Lord Tang should go back to the government first, and this king will urge them to raid the house." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Let's go......"

Inside the Imperial Study.

Having just disposed of several major families, including his mother's family, Emperor Chen's mood was obviously not very good, and he had been reading a letter in his hand for a quarter of an hour.

After a while, he put down the fold and said, "Yichunhou is still dead. ”

Wei Jian sighed and said, "I didn't expect him to be bold enough to assassinate King Huai and Lord Tang......"

Chen Huang said: "It's not a good thing that he died." ”

For him, Yichunhou should have died more than twenty years ago, and the reason why he kept him was actually fishing.

He wanted to use Yichunhou as bait, and anyone who tried to use him to uncover the fog of more than twenty years ago had already gone where they were supposed to go.

Now that Yichunhou is dead, those things that should have been sealed in history will be sealed forever......

……

In the Yichun Hou Mansion, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are moving things from the inside to the outside.

In the Yichun Marquis Mansion, both the master and the servant stood timidly in the courtyard, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Why are you!" A young man stood in the crowd and was excited to rush out, but was grabbed by a woman.

The young man turned around and asked, "Mother, what are you stopping me for?" ”

"Smack!"

The woman slapped him in the face and said angrily, "Do you want to go down with your father?" ”

The young man was stunned by the beating, covering his face and unable to speak.

A figure walked over and asked, "You are Yichunhou's family, right?" ”

The woman looked at him and asked, "Are you ......?"

A small household official ran forward, hurriedly bowed down and said, "See His Royal Highness King Huai!" ”

Hearing the name of King Huai, the woman was stunned, and immediately pulled the young man to kneel, kowtowed a few times, and said gratefully: "Your Royal Highness the little woman Xie spared the lives of my Bai family......

King Huai personally bent down to help the woman up, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said, "Leave Jingshi, find a place to open a medical hall, and honor your mother in the future." ”

The young man lowered his head and said, "I, I can't see a doctor, I can't open a medical clinic......"

King Huai looked at him and asked, "The Bai family has practiced medicine for generations, why don't you see a doctor?" ”

The young man said: "My father made a rule more than 20 years ago, the descendants of the Bai family, do not study medicine, do not take the imperial examination, if there is a violator, break your legs, expel from the house......"
