In desperation, Xie Wen decided to interrogate the petty official alone.

is a cunning character, and it is naturally more difficult to talk about it.

Xie Wen had a headache before the interrogation, but he still had to bite the bullet and go in.

"Tell me honestly, you are not Prime Minister Zhou's person." As soon as he sat down, he was ready to go straight to the point.

The petty officer looked at him expressionlessly, as if he had not heard of his interrogation.

Xie Wen knew that he was a difficult master to deal with, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to play with Sun Zhao's set.

"There are some things that don't help, and if you want to get out of here unharmed, it's best to be honest. Otherwise, these little arms and legs may not be on you. ”

It sounds like a breezy language, mixed with a sense of threat.

The junior official sneered and said, "What do you think you can say with a pediatric trick?" ”

Xie Wen looked at his appearance of not being afraid of heaven and earth, clutching the soldering iron in his hand, and was angry.

"I heard that you are so skillful, even if it costs your three inches of incorruptible golden tongue, you don't want to escape from the palm of my hand." Xie Wen wanted to warn the other party to commit it obediently, but unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the little official suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, tilted his head, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You, don't think about it!"

What's going on?

It all happened so suddenly that no one on the spot reacted.

"Hurry up and see if he's still angry!" Xie Wen's eyes flashed with a touch of panic, who would have thought that his temper would be so strong.

"It's out of gas." The man shook his head again and again, his eyes complicated.

Xie Wen walked up to him in a few steps, roughly checked the cause of the person's death, and accidentally found that there was a residue of medicine between his teeth.

Obviously, the petty officer has undergone special training and is already comfortable with handling this kind of incident.

"Damn it!" Xie Wen didn't expect this to happen, and was so angry that he hit the wall with a fist.

It's only because he didn't check it well in advance that such an accident happened.

The petty official committed suicide, and this clue had to be stopped for the time being.

The next day, Xie Wenfeige sent a letter to Emperor An He to report the results of his investigation in a few days.

"Cloud City officials are corrupt and cause riots. If it is not stopped, I am afraid that the riots will become more and more intense, and it will not be able to end at that time, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Emperor An He lowered his head and pondered, and responded with dragons and phoenixes dancing on the paper: "Now that the dragons have no leader, an additional prefect will be sent over to take charge during this time." ”

When Xie Wen received the reply, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and always put an end to the matter.

At the behest of Emperor An He, he needed to seize the body of the petty official and the prefect and return to Beijing together.

"It's a chore." He whispered and watched as the petty official's body was placed in the prepared coffin.

The journey was peaceful, and as soon as Xie Wen returned to Beijing, Xie Shiyun and Shen Sijun took the bodies of the prefect and the petty official away.

"Well, you see, there's something strange about the discomfort here?" Xie Shiyun grabbed the junior official's arm, and there was an obvious mark on it at first glance.

"What is this mark? I hadn't noticed it before. Xie Wen was full of astonishment, surprised by the sudden discovery.

"It should be some kind of special mark, maybe it is a sign of the power under the 1 Zhou family."

Although there is no way to verify this matter, Shen Sijun still boldly guessed that this matter will most likely have nothing to do with the Zhou family.

After disposing of the body of the petty official, the prefect was then secretly imprisoned.

Recently, Xie Shiyun used the power of Shen Sijun and Luo Qiuheng in the capital to conduct an all-round investigation of the Zhou family.

After all, the emperor lived up to his wishes. Let her grab the little tail of the Zhou family logically.

"It's really thanks to you guys this time." Xie Shiyun looked at the heavy information placed in front of him, and thanked them with a smile.

The evidence of the Zhou family's purchase and official sale of officials, once reported to Emperor Anhe, will definitely set off a heated discussion in the DPRK and China.

"Help each other, as they should." Luo Qiuheng picked up the wine glass as a matter of course, and the two drank it together.

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Shiyun appeared in the court for the first time.

The civil and military officials talked a lot, and they didn't know what medicine to sell in the gourd.

Especially Prime Minister Zhou Cheng, there is a vague sense of bad premonition.

"Shiyun, why are you here?" Emperor An He was surprised by Xie Shiyun's appearance and hurriedly asked the reason.

"During this time, Shiyun inadvertently obtained an incredible piece of information, and wanted to share it with his father today." The corners of Xie Shiyun's mouth rose slightly, and her meaningful eyes drifted in the direction of the prime minister, intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone tacitly speculated that it must be something that could cause an uproar.

"Oh, what is it?" An He Di was immediately interested, and continued with her words.

Shiyun reported that the Zhou family bought, the official sold the official, was lawless, and ignored the imperial court. So far, already a repeat offender! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a thick stack of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Emperor An He by the eunuch.

The Zhou family buys and sells officials, and the civil and military officials under him have been turning a blind eye, and even several people are deeply implicated.

They didn't expect these things to be exposed by Xie Shiyun, so they were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into.

"Sell the official to buy, official, is this true?!" Emperor An He's brows furrowed, and his anger burned again.

Every year's exams, he attaches great importance to them. repeatedly told the person in charge to be careful to review, but he didn't expect that he would take advantage of loopholes under his nose.

It's just lawlessness!

He slapped the table angrily, and his sharp eyes fell on Prime Minister Zhou's face.

"Prime Minister Zhou, didn't you give me an explanation for this matter?"

Faced with the questioning, Zhou Chengxiang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly thought of a countermeasure to deal with it.

"If the prime minister has any doubts, he can bring the prefect up, and he can confront him when the time comes."

Xie Shiyun has now completely mastered the right to speak, and there is no room for even a little detour in the back fiefdom of Prime Minister Zhou.

In the face of human and material evidence, he was speechless, and could only bear the responsibility for this crime.

What's more, if Xie Yuan is implicated this time, there will be unpredictable consequences.

In order to prevent Xie Yuan from being held responsible, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he told his crimes with mixed truths and falsehoods.

Emperor An He's face was flushed with anger, this is the good courtier he has always trusted!

The Zhou family was heavily punished, and Concubine Shu soon got the news, and hurriedly rushed over to investigate the situation while Emperor An He was in the imperial study.

"This is the white fungus lotus seed porridge boiled by the concubine, the emperor may wish to taste it." She pretended to be nothing, trying to curry favor with Emperor An He.

However, she made a small calculation, and Emperor An He knew it well, and he had no intention of buying her account.

"You're here because it's morning."

Concubine Shu's face stiffened slightly, and then she knelt down and begged.

However, Emperor An He has made up his mind, no matter how much Concubine Shu begs, it is useless.
