The body was discovered by Kong Hongxu's wife.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she looked at her husband's body and couldn't say a word for a long time. The maid next to her went out to call someone.
Six or seven nursing staff ran in in a panic. They were all frightened when they saw Kong Hongxu hanging on the beam.
The Holy Duke was in a good mood last night, but he couldn't think of committing suicide in the blink of an eye.
When the nurse wanted to put down Kong Hongxu's body, he was stopped by Mrs. Li.
"No, you can't let it go. Report it to the official first. My husband can't commit suicide."
After hearing this, a nurse turned around and wanted to go out and report to the official.
But he was stopped by Mr. Li: "Don't say it so clearly, just say that there is a murder case in Yan Shenggong's Mansion..."
Protecting the hospital, he hurried out.
Then Li said to the other nursing homes: "Close the backyard. No one in the backyard can go to the front. If anyone dares to gossip at this time, he will be beaten to death..."
"Yes, ma'am."
Then the six doors leading from the backyard to the front yard of the Confucius Mansion were sealed, preventing anyone from leaving, let alone entering.
At this time, with the help of the maid, Mrs. Li arrived in front of the stage and saw the suicide note at a glance. The content on it made her feel the atmosphere of conspiracy.
As an official, she certainly knew what kind of uproar would happen if this kind of suicide note to impeach Xu Youzhen and criticize the new policies of the imperial court was made public during this period.
At that moment, she collected the suicide note herself.
Then he looked at the maid beside him.
"You guys, you haven't seen anything. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to save your life even if you have nine lives."
The maid hurriedly responded.
Not only did Li send someone to report it to the official, he also sent someone to specifically notify his second brother.
Li Jie arrived faster than the government officials.
He looked at Kong Hongxu's hanging body, and then at his sister who was crying in tears. He was also in a state of confusion.
How did that happen.
If Kong Hongxu wasn't complacent last night, how could he be in suspense in the middle of the night?
There must be something wrong with this.
It was impossible for the imperial court to kill Duke Yanshenggong with such behind-the-scenes tactics...
Things have gone horribly wrong.
After a brief panic, Li Jie regained some consciousness and went to his sister's side to comfort her softly.
And Li just cried.
Li Jie thought that when he was leaving yesterday, Kong Hongxu was writing furiously on the desk, writing a memorial for His Majesty the Emperor.
At that moment, he asked: "Little sister, when I left last night, Duke Yan was writing a memorial to comply with the new tax system for Your Majesty. It will be written soon. Where are you now?"
After hearing Li Jie's words, Mrs. Li was obviously stunned: "What kind of memorial? There is none..."
Li also knew that everything had been negotiated yesterday, and Kong Hongxu wrote a memorial of agreement, but now the memorial of agreement has turned into resistance. However, since Li Jie said that when he left last night, her husband had almost finished writing, so he should still be in the room. After Li thought for a moment, she suddenly thought of something, and she walked to the bookshelf.
Li Jie followed his sister to the bookshelf.
"Behind this bookshelf is a dark room. In the past, the gifts of the imperial palace were stored in it. I think that if my husband had really written the memorial, he would have placed it in this room."
"Then open it quickly and look for it."
"No, I have already reported it to the officials. If I open it now and the officials come, what should I do? There are not only the gifts of the Ming Emperor in this secret compartment, but also those who are violent. If those officials see it, Now, it’s a crime.”
After listening to this, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little more contempt for Duke Yansheng's Mansion in his heart. He turned his head and glanced at his brother-in-law who was still hanging on the beam, and sighed softly: "Little sister, after the matter is over, no matter it is No matter how valuable it is, everything given by Bao Yuan has been destroyed."
Mr. Li nodded.
As for the suicide note, Li didn't even give it to her brother.
Because she was not sure whether her father, Li Jie, would make a fuss about this suicide note.
Her husband died, but she still had a son.
But whether his son can successfully inherit the position of Yan Shenggong still depends on the court...
In fact, the Li family was really in chaos at this time.
She just read the content, but didn't look at the handwriting.
Although the handwriting is an imitation, it is only similar in spirit. As long as people discern it carefully, they can judge whether it is written by Kong Hongxu's hand.
But it’s not wrong that Li hid the suicide note. She was just trying to protect herself, because people don’t care about the truth about some things...
There was a murder case in Duke Yansheng's mansion.
This alarmed the magistrate of Qufu and Tongpan. After receiving the news, they immediately brought their people here, lest for a long time, Duke Yansheng would be unhappy.
The prefect of Qufu is named Li Shaoxun. He has been a Jinshi for thirteen years and has been the prefect of Qufu for eight years. During this period, the most important task is to connect with Duke Yan and then welcome the angels from the capital.
The political significance of Qufu makes Li Shaoxun, the prefect of Qufu, have a higher status than the chief envoy of a province, because he has to receive and send officials from the capital every year. His accumulation of contacts is very terrifying. Most officials They all look familiar.
Xu Youzhen came to Qufu, but Yan Shenggong was missing. The most anxious person was Li Shaoxun.
But when Li Shaoxun took his wife with him and the government officials saw the person hanging on the beam, they discovered that the dead person turned out to be Mr. Yan Shenggong.
This made Li Shaoxun extremely confused.
When I talk to Mrs. Li now, my words are always inconsistent.
As for the experienced man, after seeing the corpse, he immediately concluded that it was a person who was hung after death.
Because Kong Hongxu's feet were facing everyone and did not hang down.
After a person dies, his blood stops flowing and his body becomes stiff. Then when he is hung up, his feet are flat.
Of course, Wu Zuo didn't care what the person's identity was. After reading it, he came to Li Shaoxun's side and whispered that the deceased was killed.
When he stated his judgment points, Li Jie standing aside breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't understand this kind of thing.
He also knew that it was impossible for his brother-in-law to have the determination to live in ruins rather than live in ruins.
What he was afraid of was that Jin Yiwei was responsible for Kong Hongxu's death.
Because Jin Yiwei represents the emperor.
They killed Kong Hongxu, which represented the emperor's attitude.
But now after listening to Wu Zuo's words, Jin Yiwei's suspicion was suddenly eliminated.
Because the people of Jinyiwei play with these things every day, if they take action, it is impossible to leave such a large amount of evidence to discredit His Majesty the Emperor. Even if Menda is arrogant, he does not dare to do such a thing on his own initiative.
If Jin Yiwei hadn't done it, it would have been done by the Kong family themselves.
In this investigation, there is no need to hide it like this...
