Mu Yuan could clearly feel that Li Huaiyun's smile was quite fake and embarrassing. "Your expression is too fake. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Li Huaiyun was a little angry when he saw this, and immediately put away his smile, "This joke is very funny, don't tell it next time!"
Mu Yuan didn't react for a moment. As soon as he said thank you for the compliment, he realized that what this guy said was ironic.
She turned her head away in disgust and let out a small curse sound from her mouth!
Li Huaiyun looked at Yan Zheng, "Okay! Get to the point quickly! Tell us what you know!"
Yan Zheng said, "This man named Wei Shunkai was a young minister of Dali Temple more than 20 years ago. He served before me and I was his subordinate. He was known as the Iron Judge. He was upright and prayed for the people. He once served During the investigation of the human trafficking case, I caught the mastermind behind the scenes, followed the clues, and found the person behind the scenes who was an official in the imperial court, the third grade!"
"After several days of investigation, he discovered that there is actually someone behind this official, and this person's identity is very special. He should be a relative of the emperor or something like that!"
"At this time, an ordinary person would have only investigated this point, but Wei Shunkai thought it was impossible. If he let that person go, it would be a blow to Zhou's reputation.
So, he secretly pursued it, and just when he was about to find out the identity of the person! "
"The emperor directly ordered Wei Shunkai to investigate the prince's case. He had no choice but to put the matter aside and pursue the prince's case."
"Just when the prince's case was coming to an end, he took the time to continue investigating the case, and soon there was follow-up progress."
"However, at this moment, the emperor announced that the human trafficking case he was pursuing was directly tried by the Ministry of Punishment, and the official was sentenced to death, and the case was finally announced to be closed."
"At this moment, Wei Shunkai also made new discoveries while investigating the prince's case. However, at this moment, he also knew that the case was announced to be closed. He was quite shocked by this and insisted on going to the emperor to argue. He could not be so hasty. Close that case.”
"The emperor is annoyed by him! With the other party's argumentative attitude, the case has to be sealed temporarily."
"And Wei Shunkai's series of actions have offended many people, but he never cares about it. The danger is constantly approaching him."
"Finally, on a dark and windy night for a month, a fire suddenly broke out in Wei Shunkai's house. A family of more than thirty people were burned to death, and they were all turned into charred corpses."
Yan Zheng sighed regretfully, "Actually, Zheng Qing reminded him at that time, and after finding out about the official, he told him to stop here!"
"However, this person refused to listen and said that such bad behavior must be severely punished. Otherwise, more people will be involved in this matter, and by then, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be in chaos."
"So, he insists on bringing the mastermind behind the scenes to justice! However, the official position is too small, and the identity of the other party is unusual!"
Yan Zheng looked around cautiously, but there was no other condition except for the corpses lying there, covered with white cloth. He leaned forward and whispered, "I also know some of the details, you must want to know. "
"Elaborate!" Li Huaiyun's voice was also very soft.
Yan Zheng pressed his hands on the table, and then whispered, "After the fire burned out, we inspected the scene and found that several doors in Wei Shunkai's mansion were completely locked from the outside. The walls are covered with a layer of straw mixed with some oil."
"This resulted in the fire being unable to spread until it burned out."
"In other words, someone has been targeting this person for a long time!"
Yan Zheng sighed, "Yes! More than thirty people were burned alive in the house. No one can accept such a bad case."
"The person who died was the young minister of Dali Temple. We cannot intervene in this case in the future. The Ministry of Punishment will be fully responsible for handling it."
Li Huaiyun obviously knew, and the Ministry of Punishment must have been angry. He asked, "This case is obviously to kill people and silence them. As long as we investigate more, it should be easy to catch the murderer."
"Did the Criminal Department catch the culprit who set the fire?"
"No!"
"Didn't you say at the beginning that you had investigated the scene? It's impossible that the Criminal Department found nothing, right?"
A look of helplessness appeared on Yan Zheng's face, "This is exactly what we were wondering about. We obviously found some clues at that time, but the people from the Ministry of Punishment insisted that the fire burned out all the clues, which means that the murderer also Can’t find it!”
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, "There is such a thing, so the Punishment Department is just following orders?"
"That's probably what it means!"
Mu Yuan crossed his arms in front of him and sighed, "He is indeed a foolish king. In order to remove suspicion, he chose this method to cover up."
Li Huaiyun tapped on the table, "Who did Wei Shunkai find out? I don't know the identity. This is really a headache!"
"I just wish I couldn't resurrect that guy, otherwise, we would have known the truth behind it."
"We thought about it too!" Yan Zheng said helplessly, "But it's impossible. Everyone was burned to charcoal!"
Li Huaiyun's mind changed and he asked, "Are you sure that Wei Shunkai has been burned to death? Didn't it mean he was burned to charcoal? Can this be identified?"
"This is not a simple matter. We found two corpses from the house where he lived, one male and one female. The jewelry the woman was wearing also confirmed that she was his wife. This should always prove that the other corpse It’s Wei Shunkai! It can’t be another man, right?”
From what Li Huaiyun knew, the man in black robe was most likely Wei Shunkai. How did he escape? Who was that body?
He still couldn't figure it out.
Yan Zheng lamented again, "The intervention of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has caused all the evidence in this case to disappear. Therefore, this case has become an unsolved case and no one is looking for the truth anymore."
"If that's the case, then I guess that person should go to the emperor. It was with the emperor's help that they escaped."
"Then as you said, this man Wei Shunkai was dragged away to investigate the cause of the prince's death!"
Li Huaiyun frowned, "You know, what else did he find? I heard from other people that they seemed to have discovered something about the Haunted Soul Grass."
Speaking of this matter, Yan Zheng felt more and more nervous. After all, this matter was an absolute secret. If he hadn't heard someone talk about it occasionally, he would have been prepared to hide the secret in his heart and never tell anyone about it for the rest of his life.
"Have you heard about that too?"
"I happened to hear someone talk about it, but I don't know the specific situation." Li Huaiyun looked at Yan Zheng, hoping to learn some secret things from his mouth.
"That is a very poisonous plant. It is said that it is one of the materials used to refine the poison. The medical sage uses this method to dispel the soul-binding silk poison in the prince's body!"
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan looked at each other.
"You're saying that the prince was poisoned by soul-tangled silk. Who poisoned him?"
Yan Zheng shook his head, "I don't know, I don't even know when he was poisoned! In the eyes of outsiders, the Medical Sage wants to poison the prince, but to people who know a little bit about medicine, the Medical Sage is saving people, but... Whether he can be saved or not is another matter!"
"If that's the case, then why do you say that the Medical Saint killed the prince? Is it really just that the Emperor couldn't accept this fact, so he put the blame on the Medical Saint?"
"If this is the case, then why should Wei Shunping be taught to investigate the prince's case?"
Li Huaiyun thought this was quite reasonable and patted his head, "You are right! Then what did he find when he investigated the case?"
"This is also what we want to know. Only in this case, he is very tight-lipped about it and rarely talks about the details with others."
Yan Zheng thought for a while, "The only time he mentioned that there was something wrong with this prince's life experience!"
"Life experience? Are you trying to say that this prince is not the crown prince?"
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense. This is a serious crime of talking about beheading," Mu Yuan reminded, "Don't spit out anything."
Her words made Li Huaiyun and Yan Zheng feel a little scared, fearing that they would come out from nowhere and take them away.
Li Huaiyun covered his chin and pondered for a long time, "Did we overlook a key point?"
"Oh! What's the key?" Yan Zheng asked quickly.
"About the issue of life experience, is it known to the Medical Saint?"
Li Huaiyun pointed out the problems of the entire case, and it all seemed quite reasonable.
Yan Zheng exclaimed in his heart that this man's thinking was quick and he could actually think of this problem. This also explains why the medical saint was imprisoned. It was not that he killed the prince, but that he discovered something and was framed. For this According to the situation, someone must want to confuse the situation, harm the medical saint, and keep the secret forever.
When Yan Zheng thought about this, his mental state became a little tense. He knew a lot of things at this time. The more he knew, the shorter his life would be.
Not only should we take precautions, but we should also get together at any time and speak out.
"That...!" Li Huaiyun shouted softly to Yan Zheng, "Do you think what I said is right? If both of them say that, then the identity of this prince is indeed doubtful."
The look on Yan Zheng's face was a bit ugly. Originally he just wanted to know more about the case, but as a result, a bigger case was involved, and this case was shocking. It was neither an investigation nor an investigation, "Your guess is fine. The question is whether we have the ability to investigate the case.”
Li Huaiyun looked serious, "You are right to worry! If we continue to investigate like this, this will be a scandal of the royal family."
"Who do you think is most likely?"
Yan Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Only one person can be so powerful and capable of reaching the sky with his hands and eyes!"
He lowered his voice, "It seems like the mastermind behind this is probably King Lin!"
"No wonder you didn't catch the murderer. It should be said that you didn't dare to take action at all, right?"
Yan Zheng could only nod helplessly. After all, he was a relative of the emperor and had a large number of troops. He had been fighting abroad for so many years. The only person the court could talk to was the emperor. "
"How can such a person be shaken by a small Dali Temple?"
"Wei Shunping is the best example. I'm afraid we have no choice but to place our hope in the Emperor!"
"As for that Hunjun, what do you have to look forward to!" Mu Yuan said disdainfully, "He can't even manage his own harem!"
"You are going too far. The current emperor is quite capable!"
Li Huaiyun said, "It's just that I'm different now that I'm older!"
