Chapter 224: Suicide in fear of sin
After Jun Qianchen made an agreement with him, he immediately led someone to investigate the case.
He believed his instincts, Mo Yufeng must have been framed in this case, and the person who framed him was most likely the eldest prince and his henchmen.
Mo Yufeng is a student of Cheng Yifan, and the eldest prince has always been at odds with them, but now that he suddenly made a move, he must have been prepared.
Jun Qianchen knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to find out the truth, he was afraid that it would not be so easy......
When he was investigating the case, he had been secretly sending people to keep an eye on the eldest prince's every move, and Jun Qianchen was worried that he would do something in private.
However, the eldest prince has always stayed in the county government to rest and did not make any moves.
This incident made Jun Qianchen a little puzzled, with the character of the eldest prince, how could he wait so calmly?
Jun Qianchen was worried that he would have a follow-up move, so he didn't dare to relax.
It's a pity that he still ignored one point, when he sent people to keep an eye on the eldest prince, the eldest prince's people were also monitoring him.
His actions had already been told to him by the confidants of the eldest prince......
Two days later, Jun Qianchen had just found a little eyebrow, and suddenly received news from his subordinates.
"Master, Mo Yufeng committed suicide in fear of crime in prison, and before he died, he had already put his handprint on the confession!" When his subordinates reported the matter to Jun Qianchen, he immediately rushed back to the county office.
"What the hell is going on?" When Jun Qianchen rushed back to the prison, he only saw Mo Yufeng's body.
"As you can see, he knew he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide by hitting the wall in prison!" At this time, the eldest prince was also present.
"This case is not closed, how could he suddenly commit suicide?" Jun Qianchen stared at him sharply.
"How do I know?" The eldest prince shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not a roundworm in his stomach!" ”
"Mo Yufeng is upright, he will never give up his life before the truth comes out, the royal brother has been in the county government for the past two days, I don't know if you have seen him in private?" Jun Qianchen suspected that this matter was done by the eldest prince.
Earlier, he wanted to torture Mo Yufeng to force him to confess, but under his own resistance, his plan did not succeed.
Jun Qianchen was sure that nine times out of ten he did not commit suicide.
Even if he voluntarily gave up his life, he must have been forced.
Mo Yufeng is a person who never gives up easily, and this matter must be boring......
"Your Highness the Seventh, everyone is already dead, and there will be no results if you continue to pursue it!" Lord Wang sighed.
In fact, this matter was also his negligence, I thought that people would be fine in prison, who would have thought that he would commit suicide?
Now, Jun Qianchen and the eldest prince quarreled over this matter, and he was in a dilemma.
After all, both of them were people he couldn't afford to offend.
"So, Lord Wang means that Mo Yufeng's case is over like this?" Jun Qianchen looked at him with a mocking look in his eyes.
This matter will become like this, it has something to do with him, Jun Qianchen didn't give him a good face at all.
"The evidence of Mo Yufeng's crime of looting the people's fat and people's ointment is conclusive, he committed suicide in fear of crime!" Lord Wang and the eldest prince had personally investigated the matter, and he was more inclined to the eldest prince's approach.
He didn't know Mo Yufeng, and he didn't have any affection for him, so he only looked at the evidence.
"Even if he's dead, I'll find out about it!" If Mo Yufeng is innocent, he must return the other party's innocence.
Even if he couldn't see it anymore, Jun Qianchen didn't want to chill the officials loyal to the Great Qi Dynasty.
"Your Highness the Seventh, the emperor has instructed that after this matter is settled, you must immediately set off to return to Qidu!" Lord Wang frowned.
He didn't care about Mo Yufeng's life and death, and he didn't care whether he was wronged or innocent.
However, before leaving, the emperor had instructed that Jun Qianchen must be escorted back to Qidu safe and sound.
How much the emperor prefers Jun Qianchen, the Manchu Dynasty knows it.
Jun Qianchen didn't want to go back at this time, he wanted to stay and carefully investigate this matter.
Although the person is dead, Jun Qianchen still wants him to leave with peace of mind.
However, he didn't expect that the eldest prince would send a letter to the emperor about the closure of the case in advance.
He had already guessed that Mo Yufeng had died like this, and Jun Qianchen would definitely not go back with them.
After all, he is different from all of them, the eldest prince always only looks at the results when he does things, but Jun Qianchen wants to make everything clear.
In order to prevent things from changing, the eldest prince made arrangements in advance......
"Seventh brother, the birthday of the Queen Mother and her old man is coming, let's leave as soon as possible!" Seeing that he had not let go, and wanted to continue to investigate Mo Yufeng's suicide, he was a little impatient.
In the final analysis, Mo Yufeng's suicide has something to do with him, and he must not let Jun Qianchen pursue it any further.
Now, his reputation in the court is higher than that of Jun Qianchen, as long as he can maintain his good reputation until the emperor is appointed as the crown prince, the position of the prince is in his pocket.
Even if the emperor favors Jun Qianchen, there are so many civil and military ministers above the court, he can't do things according to his own will.
Everyone thinks that being an emperor can do whatever he wants, but in fact, he is not.
They also have a lot of helplessness, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related, and the emperor will carry so many women into the harem in order to balance the power of the court.
The eldest prince grew up under the training of his mother and uncle since he was a child, and the struggle for the throne has become an obsession for him......
When Jun Qianchen heard him mention the Queen Mother's birthday, he couldn't help frowning.
The queen mother is their grandmother, and with such an important event as a birthday, they must rush back in time as a grandson.
Although he was unwilling, he couldn't continue to stay in Qiongzhou for the sake of Mo Yufeng's case.
In the evening of the same day, Jun Qianchen received a message from the emperor.
Although the emperor didn't spend much time with him, he knew his son very well.
Jun Qianchen has always liked to get to the bottom of things, Mo Yufeng died in prison, and there were still scars on his body, he definitely wanted to find out the cause of the other party's death.
However, the emperor didn't think so in his heart, now that the person is dead, it is not easy to find out the whole thing.
Now, the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, if Jun Qianchen does not come back on time, it is likely that several other princes will be charged with unfilial piety.
The battle for the throne has become more and more intense, and the emperor has turned a blind eye to their behavior.
However, whenever it comes to the interests of the people, the safety and face of the royal family, he will stop it.
The emperor didn't know what the princes thought they were doing, but unfortunately Jiang was still old and spicy.
The emperor just wanted Jun Qianchen to understand the cruelty of the royal family, so that he could voluntarily become the prince.
The family affection of the royal family has always been precious, and in order to be able to obtain supreme rights, there are too many things of fathers and sons killing each other......
After Jun Qianchen received the emperor's letter, he could only helplessly obey his arrangement, pack up his things and return to Qidu with the eldest prince.
However, before leaving, Jun Qianchen deliberately left a few people in Qiongzhou and asked them to continue to investigate Mo Yufeng's case.
He has his own insistence, and if things can't be thoroughly investigated, he can't be at ease.
After all, he promised Mo Yufeng at the time that he would never let people frame the court officials at will, but unfortunately he still broke his promise.
Although this matter is not his doing, it is closely related to him, if he can send someone to the prison to protect Mo Yufeng at all times, maybe he will not die.
People can't be resurrected after death, and he can't do anything else, but he still owes Mo Yufeng a truth.
Jun Qianchen is a person who remembers his promises, and since he has promised, he will definitely do it and will never regret it......
At this time, Jun Qianchen didn't know that when the eldest prince left Qiongzhou, he also secretly left a few people.
He had already guessed that Jun Qianchen was unwilling to let things get like this, and he would definitely find someone to continue the investigation.
Therefore, he deliberately left a few henchmen and secretly stared at Jun Qianchen's people......
In this way, no matter what Jun Qianchen's people did, he would be able to know.
Ten days later, they returned to Qidu, during which they traveled day and night on the road in order to return as soon as possible, with little rest.
Lord Wang is not a military attaché, and his physical foundation is not as good as Jun Qianchen and the eldest prince, and he is tired enough along the way.
However, after returning to Qidu, he did not immediately go back to the palace to wash, but went directly to the palace to report to the emperor.
The emperor was anxious to see Jun Qianchen, and after seeing him, he let him go back.
Although he trusted Lord Wang, he believed in Jun Qianchen even more.
"Qianyu reported that Mo Yufeng committed suicide in prison, but you have not yet investigated the matter, what is going on?" Jun Qianchen wanted to go to see Bai Linxia first, but he didn't return to the mansion before he received an edict from the emperor.
In desperation, Jun Qianchen could only hurriedly go back to his Chenyang Palace to change his clothes, and then went directly to the imperial study.
When he heard the emperor's questioning, he told him everything.
"Erchen thinks this matter is still strange!" Jun Qianchen has never hidden his true thoughts in front of the emperor.
The eldest prince scoffed at Jun Qianchen's words in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
After all, in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and if he was in a hurry to refute, it would only make people feel weak.
He is a person who is very good at weighing the pros and cons, the emperor is his biological father, and he is also the shrewd and virtuous monarch of the Great Qi Dynasty.
On weekdays, they are intrigued, and the emperor will not stop them, but once they cross the line, the emperor will quietly cut off their minions.
Before, Jun Qianchen secretly dealt with many of his secret guards, so that his plan was stillborn, and the emperor not only knew, but also punished several officials under him.
The emperor was warning him that he should not take action against his younger brother's wife, except for the eldest prince, only Zhou Siren knew.
Jun Qianyu has always been a little afraid of the emperor in his heart......
Therefore, when the emperor was talking to Jun Qianchen, he had been standing silently beside him, trying his best to shrink his sense of existence.
The emperor found out from his words that he seemed to care about Mo Yufeng's case, so he directly sent the eldest prince away and talked to him alone.
"I feel that he died unjustly, so I feel uncomfortable?" After there were no outsiders in the imperial study, the emperor glanced at him and said.
"I don't want a good official who is loyal to the court and worthy of the people to be wronged!" Jun Qianchen confessed.
He has lived in the people since he was a child, and he knows very well what it means to be a good official to the people.
It's a pity that although the Great Qi Dynasty is strong, there are corrupt officials everywhere in the court.
At the beginning, when they were in Lushui Town, they encountered a Lan County Order, but although he was greedy for money, he was not completely a dumb official.
Therefore, Jun Qianchen spared his life......
