Chapter 125: A Strange Death
"What? Guo Xun died in prison? Zhu Houxi didn't seem to believe all this very much, and even his eyes were a little puzzled, "You say it again..."
"Your Majesty, Guo Xun really died in prison...", Zhai Luan stood below, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, "The fold that Jinyi Wei and the Criminal Department just handed over this morning said that Guo Xun died violently in prison last night, and the minister was also shocked at the time, so he hurriedly sent this fold to His Majesty..."
"Quick... Come on...", Zhu Houxi was so excited that he stood up from his seat suddenly, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked left and right, sat down again, and waved his hand at the attendant next to him, "Bring it to me..."
The little eunuch listened to Zhu Houxi's instructions, hurriedly ran below, took the fold from Zhai Luan's hand, and handed it to Zhu Houxi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhu Houyu took the fold, he didn't look very carefully, but he glanced at it so roughly, and his eyes were fixed on one place, so that the entire hall could only hear Zhu Houxi's slightly heavy breathing.
"What's going on, what the hell is going on? Yes? Zhu Houxi stared at Zhai Luan standing below, looking a little terrifying, "How can you die if you stay in prison well?" Sudden death? ā
"Back to Your Majesty... It shouldn't be a violent death, but... It's that Guo Xun is sick in prison and has no time to heal, and the conditions in prison are poor, so... That's why there was an accident...", Zhai Luan explained to Zhu Houxi in a low voice.
"Sick and unexpectedly dead?" , Zhu Houxi had a crying and laughing expression, "He Guo Xun is a military general, he has been on the battlefield, he has made military exploits, and he can kill him if he has a small illness or a small disaster?" Well? ā
"Your Majesty...", Zhai Luan saw that Zhu Houyu reacted so violently, so he understood why Xia Yan had to come to report to Zhu Houyu by himself, and couldn't help but curse Xia Yan in his heart, "Your Majesty, Ling Guogong is already old, and in the early dynasties in recent years, hasn't he often called him sick?" ā
"He's faking illness! I know it very well in my heart! Zhu Houxi slammed the seat handle twice, "He's old, and when he's old, he still has the energy to fix this and fight that in the court all day long?" Do you still have the heart to give Zhang Yanling the housekeeper shop? Ridiculous! ā
"Check it out for me, check it out right away!" , Zhu Houxi pointed to Zhai Luan, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere below, and vented the anger in his heart vigorously, "This matter must be investigated by me, I don't believe that Guo Xun will die in prison with a good heart!" ā
"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and other relevant departments have thoroughly investigated this matter overnight, and after many investigations, they finally concluded that Guo Xun, the Duke of Lingguo, was indeed infected and died in prison...", Zhai Luan said while pulling out a few folds in the sleeves of his robe, "This is a plea of guilt from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and other relevant officials, which is written to believe the situation, and ask the emperor to forgive the crime of taking care of the prisoners... There are also some folds, and the minister hasn't had time to bring them yet..."
"No need to bring it! Don't take one of them...", Zhu Houxi waved his hand vigorously, and the sleeves of his robe sounded as if they were about to be torn by him, "What's the use of pleading with me?" Before I could approve it, the man died in prison, how can this crime be calculated? The last excerpt is over if you ask for a sin? Yes? ā
"Tell my will, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and if you can't find out anything, you have to take this responsibility for me!" After Zhu Houxi finished speaking, he threw the fold in his hand to the ground and slid out of the way...
"Lord Xia, Guo Xun died in prison, do you know about this?" , Peng Yue looked at Xia Yan who was pacing leisurely in front of him, he really didn't know what he was thinking at this moment, it was probably infinite happiness, right? But he seems so calm on the surface, Xia Yan shouldn't hide his emotions with himself.
"You just found out about this?" , Xia Yan froze his steps and turned around, "I thought you would get the news earlier, it's been a day..."
"yes... I haven't paid much attention to this matter either...", Peng Yue smiled embarrassedly, "Didn't I rush to you as soon as I got the news..."
"Actually, death is death, but it's just a prisoner...", Xia Yan looked careless, "Is it a big deal to have a prisoner in the prison?" You must know that this kind of thing is indispensable in the prison of the Criminal Department..."
"Yes, I know this kind of thing is not uncommon, but...", Peng Yue couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart when he saw Xia Yan's calm appearance, "But it was Guo Xun who died in prison, he was the prince of the country during his lifetime, and... And the emperor has not yet approved the list of his executions! ā
"I know...", Xia Yan smiled indifferently, "But dead is dead, what else can be done?" What's the use of you telling me this? ā
"Come... Come..., I finally came to my house, why do you have to say these depressing words...", Xia Yan turned around and pointed to the bouquet of flowers beside him, "The flowers in my garden are all blooming, let's take this opportunity to enjoy the flowers together..."
"Lord Xia...", Peng Yue wanted to continue, but was stopped by Xia Yan's look.
"Sit down first...", Xia Yan waved his hand at Peng Yue with a smile, "Sit here and enjoy it, and then I will order my subordinates to serve some water and wine to eat, let's relax today..."
"It seems that Lord Xia is in a surprisingly good mood today...", Peng Yue looked at Xia Yan, sighed, and said meaningfully.
"Is there anything wrong with Zirui today, why do you seem so anxious?" , Xia Yan sat down next to the stone bench next to him as he spoke, "Guo Xun died in prison, which is a blessing for you and me, so let's naturally relax... To be honest, I'm in a good mood right now..."
"Lord Xia...", Peng Yue frowned, not at all Xia Yan's leisurely appearance, "We should be glad for this, but... But the emperor was furious because of this..."
"I know...", Xia Yan smiled and nodded, "But what does it have to do with us, it should be the officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and even Jinyiwei who are panicking... And we should drink tea here, enjoy the flowers, and have a good time, haha..."
"My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not...", Peng Yue stared at Xia Yan tightly at this time, and even lowered his voice consciously, "Lord Xia, you tell me that Guo Xun died in prison... Does it have anything to do with you? ā
In fact, the reason why Peng Yue came to Xia Yan today to talk about this matter was that he felt that this matter was too strange, and he didn't believe that Guo Xun died in prison like this, so he wanted to come to Xia Yan to find out the situation.
Another point is that he suspected that Xia Yan had something to do with this matter, and after coming here, Xia Yan's overly calm reaction deepened Peng Yue's suspicions. It is said that if Xia Yan also has no knowledge of this matter, then he will definitely raise his voice in the private mansion without scruples after knowing this matter, and he is so happy that he can't help himself, after all, this is a big heart disease for him. But when he came to Xia Mansion to talk to Xia Yan, Xia Yan was calm and calm, and when he talked about Guo Xun's death, he seemed to be talking about an extremely ordinary thing, even if he was deliberately hiding this emotion, so as not to spread it to other people's ears and have a bad impact, but there was no need for him to hide it from himself, Peng Yue believed that Xia Yan still trusted him. Therefore, Xia Yan's all these too abnormal actions had to make Peng Yue suspicious.
"Huh?" , Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue coldly, and even his gaze changed a little.
"You go down first...", Xia Yan waved his hand at the two maids who had just brought some melons and fruits and snacks, and by the way, he sent away several other subordinates not far away, and Xia Yan's eyes were always on Peng Yue, and he unconsciously looked at Peng Yue a little...
