Chapter 437 Setting 39 The Deathly Power Official Wants to Be a Good Man (15)

After waiting for two full months, the fifth prince Zhao Xun failed to receive the order to "supervise the country on behalf of the emperor", which completely chilled his heart.

The next day, the Royal Physician who surrendered to him quietly added a drop of colorless and odorless poison to the emperor's medicinal diet behind the back of his colleagues in the imperial hospital.

The blood guard, who came and went without a trace, reported the matter to the emperor before the palace man who delivered the medicinal food arrived.

The emperor almost vomited blood from anger.

He was wise throughout his life, and he was upright in educating the prince. He never thought that he would be treated cruelly by the prince.

On the second day, the emperor failed to go to court, which aroused discussions among the officials.

All civil and military officials who can stand in the main hall are discerning people, and the emperor's physical condition is no longer a secret.

"The fifth prince's ascension to the throne is probably a certainty." Yan Yun (sounds the same as the same cloud), the minister of Dali Temple who had a private friendship with Yuan Jin, said this in a low voice as he passed by his carriage.

Yuan Jin smiled and said nothing, with an enigmatic look.

Three days later, when the emperor went to court again, he ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to re-investigate the corruption case in Wanzhou.

The ink corruption case in Wanzhou was investigated by the imperial envoy Liu Yin earlier.

It was Wanzhou officials who colluded with each other to falsely report the disaster situation in order to receive disaster relief funds from the imperial court. They embezzled and embezzled as much as 300 million taels of relief money for public enrichment.

Because there were too many officials involved in the case, which had a huge impact on the officialdom in Wanzhou, the emperor deliberately showed mercy and ordered that only those who had embezzled more than 2 taels be sent to the capital for execution.

Even so, on the seventh day of March in the 46th year of Emperor Yong's reign, 70 officials were beheaded at the vegetable market in Beijing.

It took three days to clean the blood.

The crowd of onlookers stayed together for three days.

All the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall collectively kept silent thinking of the past, and the emperor's rebuke in the hall that day was still fresh in their minds.

"In the case of Wanzhou, the upper and lower colluded, invaded and stripped the people, and made thousands of millions. It is a strange and strange incident that has never been seen. All the criminals in the case belong to the law and cannot be loaned out. Dear dear friends, you must firmly remember today's The most important thing is to be an honest official and to benefit the people."

There was a result, and if the emperor made a thorough investigation again, he must have found the fish that had slipped through the net, and I don't know how many officials would have to be buried for this.

After the imperial court was over, Yuan Tanwang, the governor of Wanzhou who came to the capital to report on his duties, caught up with the fifth prince in a hurry.

"Enough, there are so many eyes and ears here, you don't want to live anymore." Zhao Xun shouted coldly, and walked away quickly.

Yuan Tanwang dug hard at the patches on his clothes with both hands, and watched him walk away with a dark face, his eyes filled with ups and downs.

In the palace gate, Yan Yun and Yuan Jin, who had witnessed the whole process, smiled and bid farewell.

That night, Yuan Tanwang disguised himself as a man in black and sneaked into the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Xun, who was admiring the moon in the courtyard, followed the footsteps on the roof, and made up his mind not to keep this person.

Yuan Tanwang didn't know that the fifth prince had murderous intentions towards him, so he knelt down and begged Zhao Xun after landing, "You must protect me."

"Yuan Tanwang, it's not that I won't help you now, it's that I can't protect myself." Zhao Xun clenched the jade ring on his right hand, his heart full of impatience.

The emperor's health was already on the verge of dying, but at this time, the thorough investigation of the Wanzhou corruption case seemed to be aimed at him.

No, he hid it so deeply.

There was not much communication with Yuan Tanwang in the court hall, so no one should suspect him.

What's more, the emperor now has only him as a prince, if he is destroyed, who will be the heir.

Did you find that little bastard?
The whereabouts of Qiuniang, who may prove the identity of the little bitch, are unknown, and the Qiu sisters who knew the inside story are dead...

He narrowed his eyes, thinking silently in his heart.

Seeing that Zhao Xun was unwilling to help him, Yuan Tanwang made a ruthless move.

"The Chen branch's house was searched that day, and all the real silver and jewelry were sent to your house. I recorded all these things. I went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and you didn't escape."

"You dare to threaten me." Zhao Xun slammed the jade wrench on his head.

Blood flowed from his forehead, Yuan Tanwang wiped it heavily, and said in a cold voice, "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

"Look at your quick temper. You have been doing things for me, so I won't protect you." Zhao Xun changed his attitude and handed him the usual sweat towel. "Wipe the blood on your head. I will protect you." Figured out a way."

After receiving the scarf, Yuan Tanwang turned from anger to joy and kowtowed to him one after another, "My life depends on you."

"Go back. Don't draw attention to yourself."

"Yes." Yuan Tanwang lowered his eyebrows in response and flew up to the eaves. He ducked back to his temporary residence in the capital.

The fourth watch had passed, and Yuan Tanwang, who was lying on the bed, still couldn't sleep.

Although Zhao Xun had promised to protect him, he felt like he was hanging on to something and didn't dare to let go at all.

"Come on, there are assassins." It was the butler's voice.

The sound of fighting with swords and swords sounded in the front yard, and he hurriedly opened the bed board and hid in it.

The door opened, and he dared not move.

"Master, please come out. All the assassins have been caught." The housekeeper came to the bed with a trembling body and knocked on the door panel skillfully.

Yuan Tanwang didn't realize he was there and hurriedly got out from under the small bed, only to see the most unexpected person.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ji, you..."

Yuan Jin glanced at him, and threw the coat on the shelf to him, "Master Yuan, you should get dressed before answering. You know who you offended. I will take care of those assassins for you." They were taken into custody. There were a few who were going to take poison immediately, and I sent someone to remove their jaws."

The candlelight was shining brightly, reflecting Yuan Tanwang's complexion which became even more gloomy.

Needless to say, those assassins must have been sent by the Fifth Prince Zhao Xun to kill people and silence them.

Zhao Xun was so terrific in doing things, but he was careless.

"This is the booklet that records the evidence of Mr. Yuan's greed for ink. Do you want to read it yourself, or I will read a few pages for you." Yuan Jin looked at him with a cold face, showing righteousness.

"I won't say anything." Yuan Tanwang pressed the tip of his tongue, and in the next second, his cheek was hit hard by a stone, his teeth were misaligned, and blood flowed from his mouth.

"Yuan Tanwang, your father was the governor of Jiangsu, and he was a clean and honest official all his life. Your grandfather, who served as the Daotai in Gansu Province, was also a gentleman. I always thought that your Yuan family was clean and upright, so I never doubted you. You..." The emperor Shaking his head, his eyes were full of disappointment.

Yuan Tanwang knelt down and kowtowed, already remorseful, and said with blood in his mouth: "I don't care about the grace of the saints, and I am ashamed of my ancestors."

"I don't want to implicate your grandparents, wife and children because of your mistakes. I will tell you honestly, and I will keep them safe."

"The guilty minister bows his thanks to the Holy Grace and must repay the favor truthfully." Yuan Tanwang, who had ensured that his wife and children would not be implicated, now just wanted to unseat the fifth prince, Zhao Xun, and suffer with him.

On the second day, Li Weiyi read Yuan Tanwang's confession in the court.

I thought that the fish that slipped through the net in the Wanzhou ink corruption case would be some small fish and shrimps, but I didn't expect the fifth prince Zhao Xun to be involved.

For a moment, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

And the "Major Corruption Case in Wanzhou" ended with Yuan Tanwang being beheaded and the fifth prince being demoted to common people.
