Chapter 249 Entering the palace before the imperial decree is issued
"I guess you didn't sleep, so use something first."
Yun Niang pushed open the door of Li Yi's study, and put the stewed chicken soup on the table beside her.
"It makes you tired again." Li Yi got up and walked over.
Yun Niang smiled, "This little girl's matter is not worth the day and night work of my boss."
Yunniang filled the soup and served it to Li Yi.
"The eye sockets are deep." Looking at Li Yi, Yunniang stroked her fingers up, feeling distressed.
Since the day when the Confucian Temple collapsed, every time she got up at night, she just came over to take a look. The lights in Li Yi's room had never been extinguished.
Adding up the past few days, he probably didn't sleep for three hours.
Often it is almost dawn, and I squint for a while.
Li Yi finished the soup in a few sips, and sat down on the couch with Yunniang.
"I heard that in the past two days, the threshold of our mansion will be broken through."
"You come back late at night, they can't ask you, so they can only come to me." Yun Niang sighed.
This fraud case can be said to be the most widely involved since the founding of Chu State.
At the beginning, it was the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and then it was held accountable everywhere. Those who were famous on the list by virtue of their connections were all sent to prison.
As long as there is any suspicion in this case, they can't escape, either into the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dongwei, or Duchasi.
With such a large-scale arrest, there are so many relatives that it is difficult to count.
Li Yi is now in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and they want to get someone out, so they have to go to Yunniang.
Seeing them crying in despair, Yunniang felt sad in her heart.
In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there will certainly be innocent people, but compared to those who accept bribes and operate from it, the number is definitely not many.
It is still forgivable for God to do evil, but one cannot live for self-inflicted evil!
People always have to bear the consequences of what they do.
Not to mention that Li Yi doesn't have that much power, even if he had, Yunniang would never let him cover up and deceive.
"I'll ask someone to close the gate tomorrow, so as not to disturb your peace."
"If they want to get people through me, if they have the ability, they will dig out Marshal Su and Mrs. Su."
This kind of big case attracted the attention of the whole country, and the emperor didn't dare to cover up anyone. He had a few lives to kill.
This group of people is going to the doctor indiscriminately now.
Just stay at home and wait for the news.
Those who participate, can't run, and those who don't participate, let alone jump.
The jumping is conspicuous, in case you have some kind of cognition, do you think the emperor will give you a special clarification?No, wipe it off with a knife.
Save trouble, and there will be no doubts.
Maybe they all praised the emperor for being awesome.
This dead one will be wronged, with the resentment gushing out from the hearts of scholars in Chu State, it will definitely scold you for hundreds of years.
After stroking Fu Yunniang's hair, Li Yi kowtowed to her head.
"My lady, if it's not tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the butcher's knife will fall again. The emperor will definitely use thunder to appease people's hearts."
"Some people really deserve to be killed, but some are just implicated, not involved."
"I don't want them to die innocently in my hands."
"Only if it is proved that they have nothing to do with this case, the knives hanging around their necks will not fall."
"I have already transferred people to the suburbs. There may be a few of them who are not so innocent, but it doesn't matter. I will find them one by one. At dawn tomorrow, I will enter the palace before the imperial decree comes down."
The more Li Yi talked, the lower his voice became, and when Yunniang looked back, he was already asleep.
Keeping this posture, Yunniang didn't move. Once she woke up, Li Yi would definitely not sleep again.
Let him rest for a only a quarter of an hour, Li Yi woke up, turned his head to look at the sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's still a while before dawn." Yun Niang put her hand on Li Yi's forehead, rubbed it for him, and said softly.
"I'll check the people involved in the case again. At that time, go to the gate of the palace and wait to avoid delays."
"Go back and rest, I won't see you off." Li Yi lowered his head and kissed Yunniang on the forehead, then took a shirt and put it on Yunniang, "It's cold outside, don't worry about me all the time, after all these things are done, Let's go for a swim in the lake and relax."
Yunniang nodded lightly, put away the soup bowls, glanced back at Li Yi, and left with very light steps.
After tidying up the paper bags on the table one by one, Li Yichang let out a sigh of relief, and when the butcher knife fell, heads rolled.
He respects life, so he will try his best to free innocent people, but for those who are really involved, forgive him for not loving enough.
In the carriage, Li Yi rubbed his forehead. In the past few days, everyone's thoughts were on investigating the personnel involved in the scientific examination fraud case, but they were throwing aside the murderer who poisoned the ceremonial member Wai Lang.
Taking a close look at the series of things that happened after the poisoning and death of the ceremonial member Wailang, Li Yi tried to lock in a scope.
After the fraud case broke out, who will benefit the most?
If the left minister did it, then the right minister would undoubtedly benefit the most.
On the contrary, the left phase benefits the most.
But it is not ruled out that some people are trying to find a place for themselves.
Let the forbidden army investigate secretly.
As soon as the palace gate opened, Li Yi asked Xiangwuwei to send a message inside, waiting for the emperor to summon him.
It could be seen that the emperor hadn't slept well in the past two days. After waiting for less than half an hour, Li Yi was brought in by someone.
"Your Majesty, this is the person who has been found out and indeed participated in the scientific examination fraud case." Li Yi held the booklet in his hand, and an eunuch immediately came to present it to the emperor.
After opening it and taking a look, the emperor snorted, "It's enough to eat the king's salary, and not worry about the king's worries, but they dare! They put me in nothing!"
"Pass down the decree, all of them will be cut in half, their property will be confiscated, and no one from the three clans will be allowed to be an official." The emperor said coldly.
Li Yi lowered his eyes, and when the emperor vented his anger, he bowed and retreated.
I don't know when the massacre will stop.
A small batch today, a large batch tomorrow, radish with mud, endless.
Except for Jian'an, it was the same in other places.
A row of people's heads can build a house.
"Uncle, Master asked you to go."
At the gate of the palace, relatives around Father Sheng saw Li Yi coming out, went up to him and said.
The father-in-law is looking for him, so he must go.
Today, when Father Sheng took a rest, Li Yi went directly to the Sheng Mansion.
"father in law."
As soon as he entered the study, Li Yi smiled and saluted.
"Don't stick to this, sit down." Father Sheng put down his pen and called Li Yi to sit down.
"I didn't expect the emperor to hand over this important case to you for review."
"Jian'er, the water here is very deep, and you haven't penetrated it yet."
"Once the black hand behind is involved, you won't be able to bear it."
"The old guy who didn't read the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment shrank."
"Father-in-law knows who is the mastermind of all this?" Li Yi asked in surprise, his heart twitched. He is a member of the household department, so he won't get involved in this matter!
Fuck, what the hell is going on! Li Yi's heart beat faster.
"It's just those few. Otherwise, they would have been exposed long ago, so how could they have covered it up until now?"
"So that's the case." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and sent his father-in-law to be cut in half. This is so righteous, he can't bear it!
