Xie Xiuwen is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and although the functional offices of Jingzhao Mansion, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment each have their own important tasks, in summary, they are all related to punishment and prisons.
As the official secretary, Xie Xiuwen cannot have too much contact with these yamen, let alone interfere with the important affairs of these yamen, otherwise, he will be regarded as out of bounds by the Holy Emperor!
This is a taboo in officialdom!
Obviously, at this time, Xie Xiuwen was able to keep this in mind and did not get dizzy thinking about pursuing victory, but someone actually made a mistake in panic.
Not surprisingly, Lin Huzi died in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. The cause of death was poisoning.
But the strange thing is here.
After Lin Huzi was arrested, a special person had checked all the places on his body. Even his teeth were almost broken by him. It was finally determined that there was no place where the poison was hidden on his body. So, how did he get the poison?
Jingzhao and Yin went to the battlefield to report to the emperor. Although the prisoner was caught, he only went through one trial and didn't explain anything. He just disappeared. This was his fault anyway.
Emperor Jingwen read the dossier word by word, and said with gloomy eyes: "How was he poisoned? Is there any clue?"
Cold sweat broke out on Jing Zhaoyin's forehead. The report he handed over did not state that he was poisoned by others, but now that the Holy Sage insisted that he was killed, he had obviously noticed something.
"Back to the Holy Spirit, there are currently only two suspects, both of whom are jailers, but they have not been identified yet."
"In one day, I found out who the bastard could be with his hands so long!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also, I heard that Xie Yuan was with the imperial prisoner that day?"
"Back to the Holy Spirit, there was indeed Xie Yuan, and they were all in the farm under Xie Yuan's name at that time. Now those servants and ministers have been interrogated, and the confessions are inconsistent. Some people say that they don't know when Lin Huzi entered. Some people say they have never seen Zhuangzi. However, Wei Chen found out that in recent days, Zhuangzi’s expenses have obviously increased."
Emperor Jingwen became interested: "Oh?"
"According to one of the cooks at the farm, she makes chicken, fish and other kinds of meat every day, but the portions are not too large. In the past, it was for three people at most, but in recent days, it is only for four or five people."
Emperor Jingwen sneered, it was so obvious, the Xie family was so brave!
"What did Xie Yuan say?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Xie Yuan's throat was injured by Lin Huzi and he cannot speak for the time being. The minister came to the palace specifically to ask for instructions. Should Xie Yuan be released or locked up?"
Emperor Jingwen has never been a good-tempered master. This time, he could clearly feel that Xie Yuan was colluding with the traitors in the imperial court. How could he bear it?
"Putting people in jail does not require special treatment. This time you have locked them up. I want to see who else can put their hands in again this time."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingwen thought for a while and asked again: "Has Shangshu Xie ever been to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Back to the Holy Emperor, Mr. Xie has not been there, but he sends his servants over every day to inquire about the progress of the case, and he doesn't say anything else."
Emperor Jingwen nodded: "I have seen his protective temper. Fortunately, nothing happened to his precious daughter. Otherwise, Xie Qing would have gone crazy!"
Jing Zhaoyin quickly echoed: "What the Holy One said is that Mr. Xie is indeed very concerned about the progress of the case, but he himself has never gone to the Yamen, nor has he met with Wei Chen. In addition, Editor Cheng also sends people to inquire about the progress every day. , I heard that these days, you have to leave office early every day and go home, putting off all your social activities."
Emperor Jingwen chuckled, this Cheng Jingzhou is Xie Xiuwen again!
That's fine, you can use it with confidence.
Lin Huzi died, but Xie Yuan did not clear his suspicions, and instead implicated Xie Huaiyi.
A few days later, Jing Zhaoyin handed over the latest case again.
This time, Emperor Jingwen showed no mercy and directly dismissed Xie Yuan from his post. Not only that, but Xie Yuan's father was also demoted two ranks and was now only a sixth-grade petty official.
Xie Huaiyi's lineage has already failed to live up to expectations. Xie Huaiyi himself has almost withdrawn from the court and only holds a false position. He basically does not go to the usual court meetings and has no real power in his hands.
This time, Xie Huaiyi also had a deep understanding of what it means to leave someone with tea.
The Xie family on Anhe Street is no longer what it used to be. Even though the house still looks beautiful, in fact, there are already signs of decline.
Xie Yuan was dismissed from his post, which meant that none of Xie Huaiyi's grandchildren were available.
Although some of the other grandsons are still studying, they don’t know which year or month they have to wait to pass the exam.
Now that the Xie family is in dire straits, it is obviously unrealistic to expect them.
After Xie Huaiyi learned of the Holy Spirit's will, he vomited blood on the spot and was unconscious for two days before being revived.
So what if I wake up?
He can no longer get involved in matters in the court, and the future of his children and grandchildren is still tied to his old life. If he really dies, it will be a great loss for the descendants of the Xie family.
Therefore, the Xie family tried their best to give him the most expensive medicine, just to save his life first.
Even if the tea is cold, Xie Huaiyi has been running the court for many years, so he still has some connections.
After Xie Huaiyi woke up, he suddenly looked much older, his hair all turned white, and even his eyes became blurry.
Xie Yuan was crying and kneeling in front of the bed: "It's all because of my grandson's unfilial piety, and my grandfather has to worry about it."
"Get up." Xie Huaiyi managed to spit out three words. At this time, he obviously had not recovered yet.
The Xie family were not vegetarians either, and they quickly found out that Wang Ting was behind the whole incident.
Who is Wang Ting?
That's Mr. Zheng Ge's favorite disciple!
In the past few years, it was the person whom Mr. Zheng Ge had been vigorously challenging in the court. Some people even speculated whether Wang Ting would be recommended by Mr. Zheng Ge as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion in a few years.
Xie Huaiyi sighed heavily. He and Zheng Ge had not dealt with each other for a long time. Naturally, he knew that Wang Ting had accurately attacked the Xie family this time and was well prepared.
"This time, we can't let it go like this. Who does Wang Ting mean? He just relies on having a mentor. He dares to pinch our Xie family's pigtails, and we are not easy to bully. Wang Ting has another How can it be so clean?”
After Uncle Xie finished speaking, he asked for instructions: "Father, my son will let someone make arrangements right now. We must suppress that bastard Wang Ting so that he will never be able to stand up again!"
Xie Huaiyi didn't have much strength at this time. He knew very well that as long as he didn't die, there was still hope for the Xie family's future. At least, he had to buy some more time for his grandchildren.
