Di Ying shook his head, "No, Wei Chen is a human being, not a god. I haven't guessed anything."
The old emperor laughed angrily.
He leaned back in the chair, intertwined his fingers, and said with a smile: "Okay, I guess you didn't guess it. Then take a look now and read the confessions of those people."
Di Ying still shook his head. "Your Majesty, you just have to see it with your own eyes. There is no need for me to see it."
Old Emperor: "You still think that I won't deal with them?"
Di Ying twitched the corners of her mouth, put on a fake smile, and didn't answer.
The old emperor closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let's see. This time, I won't forgive them easily. The Zhang brothers have already entered the Prison Department and are useless."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Upon hearing this, Di Ying immediately bowed and praised loudly. But his feet didn't move even an inch.
The old emperor: "..."
She glanced at Di Ying and decided not to argue with Yamoji. She said directly: "That person can't be moved yet. This case will be very involved. If we kill him, we will kill a lot of people."
"learn."
Di Ying twitched the corners of his lips again, then cupped his hands and said: "Then it's nothing to do with Wei Chen. Wei Chen didn't look at it and didn't know anything. Wei Chen still has to rush to Longyou Road, so I'll say goodbye to Your Majesty. I hope that His Majesty will be in good health and protect the long-term peace and stability of the country."
After saying that, he retreated.
The old emperor did not say anything to persuade him to stay.
Among the people who have been punished in this case so far, whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Zhang brothers, they can only be regarded as small fish and shrimps.
The old emperor couldn't move or wanted to move the big fish and shrimp that they really offered.
"If it moves, the foundation of the country will be shaken."
Di Ying, who sat back in the carriage after leaving the palace, sighed and said this when she heard Xie Jing asking about the outcome of the case.
Looking at Xie Jing's doubtful eyes, Di Ying moved her waist, picked up the tea cup, tasted it slowly, and spoke slowly.
"The Zhang brothers colluded with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Once they live in the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send all kinds of fakes and flowing water in.
After that, the Zhang brothers will fake an attack and smash all the fake things to pieces. The fragments were collected by their confidants and returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs then concentrated the fragments for destruction. On the books, everything is clean. The real object was smuggled out of the palace.
Some experts removed the traces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' seal from the outside of those objects. After that, those items will flow to the mansions of various officials.
No matter whether the officials accepted it, bought it themselves from pawnshops or other shops, or gave it to each other, they would be involved in this matter intentionally or unintentionally.
In short...it involves too much. "
"I see."
Xie Jing nodded and said, "The chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a supervisor above him. The supervisor is Wu Chengsi.
Wu Chengsi surrounded the Zhang brothers, and most of what the Zhang brothers had received and obtained since they were favored could not be turned into money.
They came up with such an idea of subverting one thing to another. "
"It's not just them,"
Di Ying couldn't drink any more tea, so he put down the tea cup and lay down.
"It's a big deal that items worth tens of millions of taels of silver are leaking out of the palace. The Zhang brothers will not only drag Wu Chengsi, but also other people who want to please them.
For example, Wu Qiongsi, Webster, Princess Taiping...etc.
Think about it, the governor far away in Jizhou has a few of them, but what about the officials of third rank and above in the capital? How many are there?
Those who focus on the position above and want to win over their own power will always be short of money.
How many honest officials are there in the court? Even if you are an upright official, you will be involved accidentally, okay? When someone celebrates a birthday and receives a gift, things start to happen.
Even if friends give gifts to each other? You'll get caught if you're not careful. Like Yi Yongsi.
Therefore, this time, I cannot blame His Majesty for not pursuing the matter.
If we really want to pursue it, the court will be empty and the foundation of the country will be unstable. "
"Then why did the murderer kill Tao Junfei?" Xie Jing couldn't bear to see the hurt look on his face, so he changed the subject.
Di Ying listened with a strange expression.
"When I mention this, I guess the murderer's intestines are filled with regret now. What was that thing that Tao Junfei threw all over the floor, right? People who don't understand antiques and ornaments can't tell the authenticity from the fake. But as long as the knowledgeable people, they will definitely Recognizable.
When people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs heard that Tao Junfei had dropped something, they were on guard and wanted to go in at any time to pick up the pieces.
They may also be happy that another person can help them throw away counterfeit goods.
Of course, Tao Junfei's appearance probably made the Zhang brothers feel the crisis..."
"So the murderer was arranged by the Zhang brothers?" Xie Jing blurted out.
"It must be the two of them, right? That's why Your Majesty asked me to read the confession. Because if Wu Chengsi and others were behind the murder, Your Majesty would not let me read it.
The Zhang brothers have been deposed by Your Majesty. Your Majesty is not afraid of me seeing it, but wants to use this to tell me: She has someone to deal with it, and she will deal with it ruthlessly.
What he wanted to tell me even more: I can no longer pursue the matter of fake antiques.
This was her reason and she wanted me to know it. "
Peng Liang interrupted at this time: "Tao Junfei's death, sir, how did you tell that he did not commit suicide? And how did you deduce all this?"
"It's very simple,"
Di Ying stretched.
"The wound on Tao Junfei's wrist looked like it came from the outside in. Whether it was the inclination, strength and depth of the knife mark, it looked like it was caused by a person committing suicide.
The murderer didn't even make the kind of stupid-from-inside mistakes that ordinary murderers make. Before the murder, the murderer remembered holding Tao Junfei's body from behind, stuffing the murder weapon into Tao Junfei's right hand, and then holding his right hand and slashing his left wrist.
Seriously creating the illusion of suicide.
But the murderer considered the knife marks, but did not consider that he would leave grip marks himself. Tao Junfei didn't know anyone's affairs at that time, right?
There was a little red mark on his sleeping point. Was it marked by the murderer? When the ignorant Tao Junfei was manipulated by the murderer, the murderer would inevitably grab his shoulders to sit behind him and let him lean on his chest, right?
In order to exert more force, he grabbed Tao Junfei's right hand and left wrist, which would naturally leave traces.
What about cutting with such force? How can it be done without using any force?
Coupled with Tao Junfei's excitement as he had just entered the palace, the possibility that he committed suicide was ruled out.
To sum up, we know that Tao Junfei committed suicide. Then, we need to find the murderer’s motive.
Tao Junfei was just an actor before and was sent to the palace after being selected by Wu Chengsi. After Wu Chengsi selected him, he would definitely train him in his residence for a few months. After all, it is His Majesty who I have to serve.
What chance did Tao Junfei have to offend someone? "
