Chapter 231: Heavenly Reason
After the middle-aged man left, he never contacted Li Ling again.
This person never told Li Ling his name, let alone mentioned the matter of Li's mother. It was as if he hadn't appeared in Li Ling's life at all.
"What a madman!". Li Ling sighed, with a random identity that he wanted to take away the jade piece left by his mother? Are you crazy when I am?
A few days later, he completely forgot about this so-called "uncle".
There was a sudden murder in the capital, and it should be two to be exact!
Liu Siye, father and son, and Wang Xi fell into the moat outside the city at the same time and drowned.
Early in the morning, someone came to Yamen to report that a dead person had been found in the eastern section of the moat.
When Lei Zhutou and a few of his men passed, the bodies of the three were already stiff.
It's incredible that the river here is so shallow that it can only reach a person's knees at most, so how could it be possible to drown three five-foot-tall men?
What's more, the three of them are not neatly dressed, and there is no trace of struggle or fighting with others.
What is particularly puzzling is the death posture of the three people, who just fell to their knees in the river until they died.
Lei Zhutou's heart was full of fear, he had already guessed that this was actually a murder, but he didn't know how the other party killed people.
Especially when he found someone to verify that the people in Sannei were not poisoned and died, Lei Zhutou's suspicion became even heavier.
The fact that three good men committed suicide in such a strange way in the middle of the night in the moat is simply appalling!
Lei Zhutou even thought that Li Ling did this matter, and he was the most proficient in criminal investigation among all the people he knew, and he was the only one who could do such a thing without knowing it.
It's just that Li Tanhua is in the Li Mansion these days, and there are not a few people who can testify for him.
Even if Li Ling and these three people had thundered and caught their heads, they couldn't just make any inappropriate moves against him.
The person who doubted Li Ling was not the only one who caught Lei Ling, and many people talked about it when the case spread in the city.
It's just that everyone is on Li Ling's side, Liu Siye once framed Li Tanhua, although the emperor also issued an order to criticize Liu Siye for chasing after the wind, but after all, it didn't have much impact on their lives.
"This time it's really unpleasant, people like the three of them should have such a way to die!". The people have no interest in knowing who the real murderers are.
It's just three scumbags, it's not a pity to die!
After many investigations, Lei Zhutou still had no clue, so the prefect ordered him to temporarily seal the case.
The prefect has no intention of investigating the case now, because all his attention is on the court.
The emperor did not have a clear attitude towards the demands made by the champion Kanghai, and the cabinet ignored them.
This attitude of the imperial court completely stimulated the scholars and the common people. At this time, a wave of unsettled waves broke out again, and there was another incident of Shou Ninghou's family beating Zheng Wang.
The people were completely angry, and more and more people began to storm the Shouning Marquis Mansion and the Imperial Palace, although there were no casualties for the time being, but the contradictions between the two sides gradually intensified.
The officials couldn't sit still, isn't it just Zheng Wang, this matter is quite simple to say, just find out if his daughter is in the palace.
If what he says is not true, it is enough to kill him.
One after another, the report reached the emperor's imperial case, and the ministers also demanded a thorough investigation of Zheng Wang's case.
"Is this to expose this scandal once and for all?" The emperor sighed bitterly, he really didn't want to face this matter.
The emperor found the empress again and asked her to reprimand Shouning Hou in public, and then apologize to the people, maybe this matter can be revealed.
Who knew that the queen suddenly had a stubborn temper, she was unwilling to criticize her younger brother, and even more unwilling to admit her mistakes in front of a group of untouchables.
The crowd in the palace made even more trouble, and the voices accusing the queen and the Marquis of Shouning were getting louder and louder.
The empress still refused to give in, and she even threatened the emperor with so many years of husband and wife love.
In the case of internal and external difficulties, the emperor finally fell ill, and he worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, but he did not expect that in the end he could not satisfy everyone.
Although Jinyiwei and Dongchang worked together to cover up the matter, they were still one step late.
The little eunuch who went to buy vegetables outside the palace had already spread the news before them.
Although all the two eunuchs involved in the incident were killed afterwards, the matter was irreparable.
The king's critical illness was a major event, and all the imperial doctors were called to the front of the sickbed, hoping that everyone could work together to come up with a solution.
It's just that the doctors who are usually full of confidence are embarrassed at this time, but the emperor is lying on the sickbed, and if there is the slightest mistake, I am afraid that he will be punished by the nine clans.
Soon the doctors were divided into two factions, one group of people said that the emperor was suffering from wind and cold, and the other group believed that the emperor's main illness was that the blood and qi were retrograde due to anger and anxiety, and the top priority was to vent the fire.
The two gangs quarreled endlessly, and neither could convince the other, but neither of them dared to drug the emperor easily, because they were not completely sure.
"You group of waste, if the emperor has three longs and two shorts, I want you all to go down to bury my father and emperor!" The prince snapped.
He looked at the emperor with sunken eyes, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
In his memory, the old man in front of him was not only a good emperor, but also a good father, who cared for him meticulously.
"Father, if you can get better this time, I am willing to change my past mistakes, work hard to be a good son, be a good prince, and I will never let you down again!"
The prince suddenly discovers that although his father is only in his thirties, he is likely to lose the other party.
Tears flowed silently, and only then did he realize that what he had done before was a bit absurd.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I think there is someone who may be able to heal His Majesty the Emperor!". The gray-haired Tai Hospital was suddenly standing up. He brought new hope to the people.
The courtyard said very seriously: "Li Ling, the Tanhua of Jinke, he always has wonderful ideas, and I have read his medical books, which are eclectic, comparable to any medical book in the world, I think he is absolutely capable of healing His Majesty the Emperor!" ”。
As soon as the hospital's words were finished, the imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, and they all praised their bosses in their hearts.
Regardless of whether Li Tanhua can heal the emperor or not, the crown prince will not complain about the imperial doctor.
"Then why don't you send someone to invite it! What are you still doing in a daze? ”。 The prince roared.
The eunuchs hurriedly walked out of the room, and a little eunuch wiped the sweat from his face and went out of the palace to look for Li Ling.
