I am the king of the dead

But with such a prestige, he will naturally be impeached.

"Is Yuniang pregnant?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought of Yuniang who had accompanied Li Xian through the most difficult years.

"Well, I gave birth to a son and named him Li Jie." Xing'an said with a smile: "Two days ago, Li Xian wanted to designate Yuniang as his successor and give Yuniang a title. A prostitute as the successor?"

Li Xian's original wife, Mrs. Huang, died early, and Li Xian gave Yuniang the title of his second wife.

Zhu Qiyu asked in a daze: "This Yuniang is only called Yuniang, what's her last name?"

Xing'an hesitated and said: "The surname is Liu. I have someone check it out. This Yuniang's father is Liu Erdao. In the eighth year of Xuande, Wang Jinghong led the fleet to Sumatra. He was one of the officers and soldiers who went south to the West. out to sea."

"When I came back, it was the ninth year of Xuande, and the tenth year of Xuande. The first emperor was in charge of the guests. Liu Erdao's pension was left alone. In the end, this jade lady was sold to support the family."

"This Yuniang also has a mother. After Yuniang followed Li Xian, this mother came to the door and was kicked out by Yuniang. Yuniang refused to admit it."

After Zhu Qiyu finished listening, he frowned and asked, "You already know?"

"Yes." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "Is Li Xian still being laughed at? Being my eagle dog, I got a whole lot of infamy in Nanya, and got a woman from the world of fireworks to be my stepmother. She is still an unfilial woman."

"Yes." Xing'an replied again.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "That's why the Ministry of Rites discusses Li Xian's family affairs?"

Xing'an nodded and said: "Yes, but Li Xian still wants Yuniang to be his successor, even if he doesn't order it."

The life wife is a kind of favor that Ming Dynasty gave to the wives of officials of the Ming Dynasty. For example, officials of the first rank and second rank are called wives.

The wives and step-wives of Ming officials must be registered in the register, so that they can be ordered in the future.

Although Li Xian is not well-known, but the family members are prosperous, if they are not guaranteed, they will be prosperous in the future, and at that time, they will have to be ordered.

Zhu Qiyu said with a strange expression: "Li Xian doesn't care about his reputation."

Both Liu Yuniang and Chen Wanniang were born in the world of fireworks. Although they are both civilians and not cheap, their backgrounds are not good after all.

Li Xian made this Yuniang his successor, so he really didn't want any reputation.

Xing'an said with a strange expression: "Well, Your Majesty, Li Xian said that he has no reputation, but Zhou Ji, the magistrate of Anqing Prefecture, is willing to marry his daughter to Li Xian."

Zhou Ji's marriage to his daughter at this time is basically for the title of stepwife.

Anqing Mansion is one of the fourteen prefectures in South Zhili, and it is managed by Fengyang Province after division.

Xing'an continued: "Zhou Ji has always had a good reputation. At that time, the Nanya rebels rebelled, and the hungry people looted the landlord's grain depot in Anqing Mansion."

"It was Zhou Ji who saved those people. Li Xian used the grain from Nanya to return the landlord and the grain depot was looted. That was the end of the matter. It was also at that time that the two of them had this karma."

"Zhou Ji was not dismissed by His Majesty because of his meritorious service in protecting the people."

Only then did Zhu Qiyu understand the relationship, but he had a little impression of Zhou Ji. At this time, Zhou Ji came out to marry his daughter to save Li Xian from the siege.

"What did Li Xian say?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

Xing'an said: "Li Xian still wants to make Yuniang his successor."

Zhu Qiyu said with emotion: "This Li Xian still really has a little reputation, don't you want it?"

Xing'an nodded and said, "No, he can't either."

Zhu Qi thought for a while and said: "Since you have a child, let's take some money."

Chapter 4 and Eight

Xing'an immediately understood the meaning of His Majesty's move to give the members money.

Li Xian survived because of himself. Li Xian, as the biggest fish in Nanya, was able to survive and continue to dominate Nanya, which was something that most courtiers did not expect.

Li Xian placed himself very clearly, he is a person who understands life, but the person who contacted him was Yuniang. At that time in Nanya, Li Xian had only Yuniang by his side, which can prove that his heart is for the court.

Lu Zhong hurried in, holding a memorial in his hand, undecided.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

"It's a decisive case." Lu Zhong put down the memorial, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there was a murder case in Guangningbo Street a few days ago."

Guangningbo Street is named after Guangningbo Liu Rong, and the current Guangningbo Liu An is the third son of Guangningbo.

Liu An also went to see Zhu Qizhen in Datong Mansion. Zhu Qizhen gave Uncle Guangning an imperial edict. Liu An had no choice but to go to Beijing to plead guilty. There are military exploits in the battle.

Now, together with Sun Tong, he is stationed in the Hetao area.

During Zhu Di's tour in Yongle, he never delegated the power of death penalty, which was repeated three times and was one of the emperor's core powers.

Without the emperor's approval, no condemned prisoner would have been executed.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorial, read it for a long time, and inquired about some details.

It is a very simple murder case. It is also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty that Jin Yiwei investigates and handles the capital murder case, and the Shuntian government office will assist in handling it.

That is, one person died in Guangping Bo Street.

A very ordinary neighbor homicide.

There is a proverb circulating in the capital of the Ming Dynasty: "The east city is expensive, the west city is rich, Xuanwu is poor, and the culture is poor."

That is to say, most of the powerful live in Dongcheng, the rich mostly live in Xicheng, the poor live in Xuanwu, and small businessmen live in Chongwen.

Those who can live in Xicheng are wealthy families.

Mrs. Hao died and was killed by Zhang Fugui, who was used to stealing.

Mrs. Hao's son is very competitive, traveling all over the world and earning a lot of family property, but his grandson Hao Ren is not up to the mark. Hao Ren eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles.

But Mrs. Hao doted on her grandson very much and let him have fun.

Hao Ren's life of pleasure can be described as extravagant. In the inclined alley of Taibai Building, he raised seventeen prostitutes, and he left a reputation of Seventeen Langs in the capital.

But in this period of life full of five poisons, Hao Ren's corruption did not bring any disaster to the Hao family.

Instead, the Hao family's business grew bigger and bigger.

According to Jin Yiwei's estimate, Hao Ren could raise 170 houses, not to mention seventeen, and it would not be a problem to raise them for 1000 years.

If Hao Ren continued to live like this without any scruples, it would just end up as an ordinary second-generation extravagant squandering his family property.

Mrs. Hao is still alive, the entire Hao family's business is moving normally, and Hao Ren's five poisons are all in good condition, which will not affect the wealth of the Hao family.

Just Hao Ren's little money for pleasure is not enough for Mrs. Hao to make a lot of money by going to the store.

Hao Ren finally defeated the Hao family's huge family business.

Because Hao Ren was persuaded by some brokers and compradors to start investing!

Hao Ren didn't want to be a person who wasted his days waiting to die.

He wants to inherit his father's mantle and trade from north to south.

But these investments have invariably failed.

The first investment was orthodox 14 years ago. Hao Ren invested in reselling firearms, arrow feathers and other things outside the Great Wall. Hao Ren was not very courageous, and the things he made were ambiguous military supplies, such as strangely shaped iron pots, a large amount of salt and so on.

Undoubtedly, after the Tumu Fortress incident, martial law was imposed at the border of Daming. In this failed attempt to buy and sell, all the goods were confiscated by Tiqi, but because there were no goods that could be punished, there was no real reselling of goods outside the Great Wall. , Hao Ren escaped a catastrophe.

Hao Ren was stable for a while, and soon the bastard checked out, couldn't hold back anymore, and started the second investment.

Baiyin was sent to Shanxi like flowing water, and he was going to hook up with Qu's family, Yin Yanyin!

Hao Ren spent about 12 taels of money, and his family was turned upside down.

Hao Ren's investment this time was cheated.

To be precise, his money did not flow into Qu's family, otherwise Hao Ren would have been the victim of the executioner at this time.

Specifically, Hao Ren's investment in Qu's family was cheated.

His family's business is run by his family. Does his family value the 12 taels of silver?

The economic comprador just lied to Hao Ren.

Grandma Hao grounded Hao Ren immediately.

Hao Ren's third investment was the Zhenwu Emperor's Forgiveness Charity Talisman, which was to sell indulgences in the name of Zhenwu Emperor in Jining and Hetao areas. Fish, just catch them all in one go.

Hao Ren's investment can be said to have lost all his money. His indulgence coupons, he spent a lot of money to go to Zhenwu Mountain in Xiangyang to buy a real talisman. Yu Shaobao fished, but he caught a lot of big fish.

But Hao Ren's talisman is actually real. The talisman of Zhenwu Temple in Zhenwu Mountain, Xiangyang, was supervised by King Zhu Zhanqian at that time. When Zhu Zhanqian was handling the case, 1 people didn't believe it. The talisman failed?

But that is true.

In the end, Zhu Zhan was helpless. Hao Ren was indeed a good person, and in the end he just speculated and fined him.

Hao Ren's investment failed three times in a row, causing disasters for his family, and the Hao family on Guangningbo Street in Xicheng was defeated just like that.

When the family was rich, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling were not a problem, and even the gambling venue was owned by the Hao family.

But after the family was dilapidated, Hao Ren's habits were hard to change, and the family became even more dilapidated.

Mrs. Hao died because she was used to stealing Zhang Fugui. Seeing Mrs. Hao's family was unlucky, she decided to give Mrs. Hao a jade pendant.

When Zhang Fugui was stealing, Mrs. Hao found out. Zhang Fugui fled after failing to steal. He pushed Mrs. Hao to the ground.

Mrs. Hao was old and died. Hao Ren reported to the police. Jin Yiwei heard about the murder and searched all over the city immediately. They caught Zhang Fugui who didn't know that he had killed someone.

Zhang Fugui killed people, and according to the system, he died with death.

Zhu Qiyu read the entire case file, this Zhang Fugui is a habitual offender, even Jin Yiwei has his criminal record.

Being able to leave a record in Jinyiwei is obviously a habitual thief, this time he stole to the dilapidated Hao's house.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lu Zhong's expression and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Lu Zhong frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this matter. It is the core of the murder case, that jade pendant."

"Zhang Fugui pleaded guilty. He indeed pushed Mrs. Hao. After the inspection by Wu Zuo, it was true that he hit her head and died."

"But Zhang Fugui did not admit that he stole the jade pendant, and the jade pendant was found by the minister."

Lu Zhong took out the jade pendant's box, opened it and placed it on the table, it had fallen into two pieces.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it for a long time, and it was indeed a good thing, worth at least a hundred taels of silver. He closed the box and asked, "What are you doubting?"

Lu Zhong always felt a little strange, and said in a low voice: "I have no evidence."

Zhang Fugui stole, Mrs. Hao found out, Zhang Fugui ran away, Mrs. Hao fell, Zhang Fugui was arrested, Zhang Fugui pleaded guilty, but Zhang Fugui refused to admit that he had stolen the jade pendant.

The jade pendant is also broken now.

The case is clearly suspicious.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "The physical evidence, documentary evidence, and personal evidence are all there. Let's finish the review by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple first, and Tiqi will continue to investigate and make up."

This is also the usual practice. Jin Yiwei has already done enough. Could it be that Lu Zhong tortured Hao Ren because of his suspicion?

Zhu Qiyu followed the usual practice and sent the case of Tiqi Chabu to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for review.

Lang Keqian, the number one scholar in the second year of Jingtai, was working in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Ke Qian is a member of the military. This is the first time he has received a case in the criminal department. He sorted it out very carefully, found suspicious points in the case, and continued to investigate.

Soon, the case made new progress.

The owner of a pawn shop was interrogated because the jade pendant worth a hundred taels was discarded by the owner and Hao Ren took it out for pawning.

But Jin Yiwei was investigating the case all over the city, and the boss lost the jade pendant as soon as he was afraid.

Afterwards, Ke Qian made a secret visit and discovered a new doubt, that is, the neighbors often heard that Mrs. Hao reprimanded Hao Ren for quarreling after the Hao family was ruined.

On the day of the murder, there were also quarrels.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple quickly found out the other part of the case, that is, after Zhang Fugui pushed Mrs. Hao down, Mrs. Hao did not die. It was Hao Ren who wanted to gamble, but had no money to gamble, and quarreled with Mrs. Hao.

When the quarrel became fierce, Hao Ren pushed Mrs. Hao, and Mrs. Hao died.

This case, after the second investigation, finally came to light.

Zhu Qiyu originally had this matter come to this point, that is, the Jinyiwei Yamen, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Dali Temple worked together to repay the unjust case and the truth came to light. The new champion Ke Qian proved that he is not a dead book reader.

When we got here, everyone was happy.

However, this case quickly caused an uproar in the court, and the memorial to the impeachment of Jin Yiwei Commander Lu Zhong flew into the cabinet like snowflakes.

Lu Zhong is a very professional Jin Yiwei. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has dealt with countless major and important cases, and has never missed one.

Cases of Confucian Mansion, Qu Family, and Jiangnan went all the way.
