In the Zichen Palace, the official Zhao Zhen suddenly thought that Zhao Lei was still burdened with a murder case, and remembered that several ministers had wronged Zhao Lei, and the more suspicious he felt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info full book
"Since you all think that Zhao Sanjue's plan is feasible, then I will announce him into the palace tomorrow and let him carefully explain his thoughts, in addition, I now feel that Zhao Sanjue is probably not a reckless person who will prescribe the wrong medicine, it seems that the death of Lord Zheng left behind in Bianjing needs to be re-examined." Zhao Zhen said indifferently.
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he looked at the seven important ministers and said immediately: "Since you all have no opinions, Yan Wenying!" ”
"The slave is here!" Yan Wenying whispered in his heart, if Zhao Lei reflexively, I'm afraid his life will not be easy, so this eunuch also began to regret why he treated Zhao Lei so much that day.
"Spread my will, and order Wang Su, a member of the military department, to thoroughly investigate the case of Lord Zheng who stayed in Bianjing overnight!" Zhao Zhen said to Yan Wenying.
Zhao Huaigu has been standing in the corner of the main hall, on this occasion, he has no right to speak at all, but when he heard this, he was anxious, and as soon as he walked out of the corner and wanted to speak, he was seen by the sharp-eyed Meng King Zhao Yuanyan.
"Official! The Imperial Medical Bureau ordered Lord Zhao to enter the palace late at night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, so it's better to let him stay in the imperial city tonight! Zhao Yuanyan knew the role that Zhao Huaigu played in the murder case, and immediately decided to help Zhao Lei again, and said to Zhao Zhen.
"Exactly! It's night, all stand down! If there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow. Zhao Zhen finished speaking. Yawn and leave the dragon chair.
Stupidly old thing! It backfired, and now retribution is coming, poisoning the court officials, you are going to raid your home and behead it! Yan Wenying, who went out to announce the decree, also knew the cats in the murder case, and looked at Zhao Huaigu who was standing in the hall in a daze. He scolded angrily in his heart.
The seven important ministers of the imperial court glanced at Zhao Huaigu gloatingly, and left one after another, leaving Zhao Huaigu alone in the Zichen Palace, standing there alone, stunned, and all thoughts were lost.
……
Wang Su soon received Yan Wen's holy decree and prepared to try the murder case of Lord Zheng who stayed in Bianjing at night.
Zhao Zhen ordered Wang Su to try the case, but it was thoughtful. Who is Wang Su, Zhao Lei's senior brother, it can be said that Bianjing and Zhao Lei are the closest people, let him try the case, don't say that Zhao Lei is wronged. Even if you really do it, I'm afraid it will become wronged, and then find out for the dead ghost, the official Zhao Zhen's plan is benevolent and righteous to Zhao Lei.
After Wang Su received the holy decree. The witty man could not understand the meaning of the official family, and while he was excited, he was also shocked by Zhao Lei's position in Zhao Zhen's heart.
After Wang Su received the holy decree. Immediately began to thoroughly investigate the murder of Lord Zheng who stayed behind in Bianjing.
When the Criminal Department investigated the case last time, not only could not try the criminal Zhao Lei, but he didn't even ask questions, and he didn't take a heavy hand on other people in the Taiyi Bureau, but the case was hastily closed with all kinds of superficial evidence, and Bao Zheng and Zhao Wei and others from the Imperial Envoy Tai did not participate in the investigation at all, they were just imperial envoys. is not an official of the Criminal Department, and can only exercise the right to participate in the impeachment by virtue of the official document sent by the Criminal Department, so there is a matter of Bao Zheng and Zhao Zheng and others impeaching Zhao Lei.
And this time Wang Su investigated the case, there were not so many restrictions, he directly took Zhao Zhen's holy decree, took a cadre of the Criminal Department and the officials, and arrested hundreds of people up and down the Taiyi Bureau and the family members of Lord Zheng who stayed in Bianjing, and then circled a few targets, began to torture, and even invited a few torture masters from Dali Temple to help them thoroughly investigate the case.
The ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very cruel, but the methods of the torture masters of the Northern Song Dynasty were not inferior at all, what kind of skin pulling cramps and lighting sky lanterns, tiger bench chili water, these methods, it is estimated that the torture masters of that dynasty are familiar with the same as their own courtyard.
With the assistance of the torture masters of Dali Temple, those miscellaneous servants of the Taiyi Bureau who were circled by Wang Su and were very close to Zhao Huaigu soon couldn't stand the torture and told everything they knew.
In the yamen of the Criminal Department, Wang Su looked at everything confessed by the miscellaneous servants of the Imperial Medical Bureau in his hands, and he was shocked in his heart, he never thought that Zhao Huaigu not only killed Lord Zheng who stayed in Bianjing in order to frame Zhao Lei, but also because of accepting bribes, he did tricks and feet in the medicine for hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and poisoned many officials of the imperial court, the most serious of which was the case of being instructed by the Empress Dowager Liu to poison Yutou and participate in politics Lu Zongdao.
"! This old guy's heart is too dark, and it is unforgivable to collect money and do so many bad things! A jailer of Dali Temple, who participated in the torture to extract confessions, saw the heinous crimes committed by Zhao Huaigu and said loudly with resentment.
"One from the second rank to participate in politics, two third-grade scholars, two fifth-grade officials, and nine officials below the sixth grade, plus Bianjing stayed behind to guard Lord Zheng, the crime is monstrous!" The official in charge of helping Wang Su investigate the case of the Criminal Department looked at Zhao Huaigu's accumulated crimes in his hand and sighed.
Zhao Huaigu! Your retribution has finally arrived, more than a dozen court officials! It's enough to kill you eight times, if the official family knows about these things, they will definitely not let you go, I'm afraid even your family will be affected, and those who buy you will probably be unlucky! Wang Su thought with a sneer in his heart.
With the thick evidence in his hand, Wang Su first instructed his henchmen to send good news to Zhao Lei, and then entered the palace overnight, preparing to hand over the evidence to the official Zhao Zhen.
Just when Wang Su had just arrived in the imperial city and was about to ask to see the official Zhao Zhen, Zhao Huaigu, who was under house arrest in the imperial city by Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, welcomed a very special guest.
"Lord Zhao!" A tall and sturdy black-clothed masked man suddenly appeared where Zhao Huaigu was resting, and whispered to Zhao Huaigu, who was staring at the lights.
Zhao Huaigu was startled, turned his head to look at the black-clothed masked man, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" ”
"Wang Su tortured those henchmen of Lord Zhao, they couldn't hold on to confess everything, Wang Su was rushing to the forbidden middle school, Lord Zhao was in trouble this time." The black-clothed masked man said indifferently in a low voice.
"How is that possible?" Zhao Huaigu's face was pale, and he said with all his thoughts in dismay.
"Lord Zhao should know that the things you have done are enough for the official family to destroy you." The black-clothed masked man continued to speak in a low and cold voice.
"Who the hell are you?" Zhao Huaigu asked the black-clothed masked man weakly.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters now is that you have no way out, death is approaching, no one can save you anymore, but your family is innocent, if you cooperate, I promise you will do your best to ensure the safety of your family." The masked man in black said to Zhao Huaigu.
Family! Zhao Huaigu suddenly remembered his three sons and two grandsons at this time, thinking of them, Zhao Huaigu couldn't help but begin to regret the crimes he committed in order to keep his position and accumulate money.
"How can I trust you?" Zhao Huaigu also asked in a low voice.
"You have no other choice, no matter what, it is also a death, why don't you choose to believe me once, you must know that the official family is benevolent, and it is possible that your family will not be implicated after you die, but the money you have accumulated over the years is estimated to be hopeless, and your family, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Bianjing." The black-clothed masked man said indifferently.
"I hope that my family can leave Bianjing safe and sound, even if they go away to Liao and Western Xia, they will not fall into the hands of those people." Zhao Huaigu knew what he had done over the years, so he had made too many enemies, none of these enemies were good people, just the fish head participated in politics and Lu Zongdao, there were countless clansmen and disciples, these people would not let go of Zhao Huaigu's family, so Zhao Huaigu could only ask the black-clothed masked man to send his family to a safe place away from the Great Song Dynasty.
"I promise you!" The black-clad masked man groaned and agreed.
Zhao Huaigu only agreed after seeing the black-clothed masked man groaning, relieved his heart, and asked him, "What do you want me to cooperate?" ”
Hearing Zhao Huaigu's words, the black-clothed masked man took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Zhao Huaigu and said, "This is the crane top red, see the blood sealing the throat, you should understand what it means, right?" ”
When Zhao Huaigu heard the words of the black-clothed masked man, he smiled miserably, and said regretfully: "Hedinghong, I have already thought that you were sent by them!" I'm afraid that the officials will know about them, and they will actually buy me to poison their political enemies. ”
"No more nonsense, time is running out, you hit the road!" The black-clad masked man said impatiently.
"Heaven is clear, retribution!" Zhao Huaigu thought about the things he had done over the years, thought of the lives that died in his hands, and then thought about the current fate, he couldn't help but sigh miserably, and after speaking, he drank the crane top red in his hand.
With Zhao Huaigu drinking the crane top red, the black-clothed masked man took back the bottle, shook his head and glanced at Zhao Huaigu, and left quietly.
……
After two days of hard work, Zhao Zhen's sleep tonight was particularly sweet, but he was still interrupted by Wang Su.
Zhao Zhen, who was disturbed in his sleep, was very unhappy, and when he saw the evidence that Zhao Huaigu had poisoned the court officials presented by Wang Su, he was immediately furious, and ordered the chamberlain to press Zhao Huaigu over immediately.
"Qiqi official family, the big thing is not good, Zhao Huaigu committed suicide by taking poison." The chamberlain who went to deliver the decree got the news of Zhao Huaigu's suicide, ran back in a hurry, and said to the official Zhao Zhen.
"What? Suicide by taking poison at this time? Zhao Zhen was shocked, and immediately thought of the consequences of Zhao Huaigu committing suicide by taking poison, and those who bought Zhao Huaigu to poison him would get away with it.
It doesn't matter if he's dead, anyway, it's just to wash away Zhao Lei's grievances, as for those people, it's just an unexpected gain, and it doesn't matter. Wang Sucai doesn't care about Zhao Huaigu's life or death, he only cares about whether Zhao Lei can return to officialdom.
"Bastard! I actually want to die to shirk responsibility, I won't let him go, someone came and copied Zhao Huaigu's family to me. The official Zhao Zhen said angrily.
As the chamberlain was ordered to announce the decree, Wang Su next to him knew that Zhao Huaigu's retribution had finally come.
