Chapter 338: The Big Case

According to Lin Huiru's meaning, Xu Ziqiao went to the door, and the official only said that he was seriously ill and avoided it, maybe he was very weak at the moment.

In this case, Lin Huiru helped Xu Ziqiao clean up a lot of accounts, coincidentally, these people are mixed, there are people from all His Highnesses, and even some old ministers.

After some searching, Xu Ziqiao also found that these people had joined forces to open a brothel, exclusively for their own entertainment, which was not visible on the surface, but behind the scenes, it was a place for them to have fun.

And after this restaurant, there are still some poppy seedlings.

And digging down the poppy, there are more than a dozen female corpses, so this matter is very involved.

Qianyuan was furious because of this, and gave Xu Ziqiao a higher authority to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Lin Huiru looked at the collected information, rubbed his chin and analyzed with Xu Ziqiao all night, "Since you have planted such a thing as a poppy, you should think about the consequences if it is discovered, how can you bury the body under it like this?"

"You mean, they didn't grow this poppy?" Xu Ziqiao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and his thoughts were a little messy.

"No, in that case, the corpse must have been buried first, and the corpse is easy to stink, which is why a heather is planted on the ground, it should be to cover up the smell of the corpse." Lin Huiru frowned, now opium poppy is also contraband, how can the seeds be mixed in it at will.

Xu Ziqiao nodded, these corpses were not even completely decomposed, thinking back to the tragic situation under that piece of land, he suddenly remembered another question.

The location of the poppy root is in the belly of the female corpse.

"Why are the women here so obedient, they should all know that it is easy to kill people here, I suspect that it is this group of people who control these women with poppies, so that they do not know whether they are alive or dead." Xu Ziqiao's eyes lit up.

This also reminded Lin Huiru, "It is indeed possible, the roots of some poppies have grown to the bones, and the poppies are not plants that like carrion, so it seems that it is very likely that the poppies have not been digested and have grown from the soil." ”

In order to get rid of the opium poppy, it was usually pulled out along with the roots, and the area had to be repeatedly inspected for two years, and this time some of them grew directly to the bones, which was simply strange.

"Tomorrow I will interrogate the officials there again, if this is the case, it will be a big matter." The seriousness of this matter is enough for the officials involved to raid their homes.

Originally, planting opium poppies was a capital offense, and even used this to control women's prostitution/prostitution, Qianyuan was extremely disgusted with this kind of thing, so there were very few brothels in this dynasty.

Because the evidence was conclusive, the people in the Qinglou were quickly recruited, and the list was handed over, and even the jade seal was broken, seeing that there were still old ministers he had trusted for many years, how could he not be angry.

After the officials involved confiscated their property, they were not allowed to enter Beijing forever for three generations, and the officials involved were exiled to Ningguta, and those whose families reached the age of 14 were sent into slavery, and their young sons were reduced to concubines.

This matter can be talked about by the people of the capital, and Xu Ziqiao has been praised for a long time.

Another piece of paper arrived at the house, Xu Ziqiao was directly named the prime minister of Yipin to assist the government, and took away a lot of Mu Xiang's rights, originally Mu Xiang still wanted to be uneven, but after Qianyuan only mentioned that he taught his daughter no way, Mu Xiang didn't squeak.

In the words of Qianyuan, how can the world be peaceful if the family is not peaceful?

Accepting the bright yellow, Zhou Youde smiled happily, which means that he will be able to save a lot of trouble in the future, "I hope that Lord Xu will continue to assist Your Majesty with your heart in the future, and share more worries for Your Majesty." ”

Xu Ziqiao shook his head, "Follow the instructions of Father-in-law Zhou." ”

"The Sprinkle family won't bother you, there will be a reward for entering the palace tomorrow, and the Sprinkle family has to go back to the palace to serve the emperor first, so they will leave first." Zhou Youde swept away with the dust, leaving Xu Ziqiao to look at the bright yellow with mixed tastes.

Lin Huiru suddenly hugged Xu Ziqiao, "My husband has become a prime minister, but I want to celebrate tonight." ”

"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, madam." The auspicious words of all the subordinates came out, and Lin Huiru was also happy, and sent a lot of red envelopes one by one.

"I like what you want to eat." Xu Ziqiao took Lin Huiru back to the room, thinking about it, the power of the prime minister was so great that it was enough for Lin Huiru to walk sideways in the capital.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Mu Xiang's lungs are about to explode, the study was smashed by himself, and none of the antiques worth a thousand taels are complete.

"Your Majesty! You're unfair! Lao Chen has been doing cattle and horses for so many years, and finally got to this position! It's also decentralized, and now it's not as good as a waiter!"

From afar, Mu Shenyu could hear her father crying, she clenched her fists resentfully, this good thing has just come to her, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has just declined!?

"Sinking fish? What are you doing here?" Mu Tiancheng passed by here and saw his sister here, so he came to ask.

Mu Shenyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and saluted, "Big brother, I saw that my father was in a bad mood, so I originally cooked some medicinal food to soothe his mood, but now..."

"When my father encounters this kind of thing, he must be in a bad mood, so don't go over to scold, it just so happens that I am also a little unhappy, so it is better to be a favor and give me this soup." Mu Tiancheng opened the soup cup and sniffed it, sprayed incense into the pen, and hooked his gluttony straight to his heart.

Mu Shenyu nodded, "I don't know why the eldest brother is bothered?"

"It's not that Xu Ziqiao, I collapsed so many people a few days ago, and now I even stretched out my hand to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is strict, and the errand assigned by my father is not easy to do, so I was scolded all the time." Mu Tiancheng said, and sat down angrily.

Mu Tiancheng is now an inspector of the Sanpin Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is also thanks to his father's exhaustion of connections that he gave him this position when he was so young.

"Big brother, don't be angry, the new official will be free for a few days when he takes office with three fires, as the saying goes, it won't take long for the grasshoppers to jump after the autumn, he has offended so many people, and he will have a few days of good fruit to eat in the future?" Mu Shenyu's eyes rolled, and he began to hold Mu Tian again.

But in her heart, she looks down on this waste brother, Xu Ziqiao is so young and relies on herself to rise to prominence, but her brother can only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, that is, the relationship is good, fortunately this time it was not found out, and they were not implicated.

Hearing this sister help him scold Xu Ziqiao together, Mu Tiancheng felt a lot more comfortable, compared to Mu Yirou, who would only sneer at him, Mu Shenyu was much cuter, considerate and understanding.

Unlike his stupid sister, who was actually found out for poisoning, and played suicide tricks to make himself like a waste, which really disgraced the face of their big house.
