Abandoned daughter by a genius doctor: King Leng's favorite concubine

Chapter 2188 Mrs. Chen commits suicide

The case of Mr. Chen, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Qiu Renwei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, for buying and selling officials has come to an end. Both of them have been imprisoned in the sky prison. Naturally, this case needs to be thoroughly understood.

Originally this case was for the Crown Prince to investigate, but after Mr. Chen and Qiu Renwei were locked up yesterday, the emperor handed over their case to Mr. Yin Geng of Shuntian Mansion for handling.

Although I don't know the reason, who dares to guess what the emperor is thinking, and the emperor is strict with the crown prince, so he won't let him hold too much power, so everyone is not surprised.

"Your Majesty, my servant is here."

"Geng Aiqing, I asked you to interrogate Mr. Chen overnight, is there any progress?"

"Returning to the emperor, the list given by Lord Chen is exactly the same as the list you gave to the minister, there is no deviation, and the same is true for Lord Qiu, but Lord Qiu said that before him, Lord Chen cooperated with another person. Yes, that is Lord Qiu's seat, the previous Lord Wei."

"Master Wei?"

"Your Majesty, before Lord Qiu took office, Lord Wei always took his seat. Later, Lord Wei died unexpectedly, so Lord Qiu pushed for him."

"I remembered it. It seems that there was such a thing. There was a servant of the official department who was assassinated and killed, right?"

"Your Majesty, that's him."

"If I remember correctly, the case has never been found out."

"Yes, Weichen found out the clues of the year and asked Mr. Chen if he was related to this matter. Mr. Chen has admitted that Mr. Wei back then was also his accomplice, but because Mr. Wei was disobedient and wanted to They wanted more rewards, so in a fit of rage, Master Chen bought murder to kill!"

The emperor was out of breath: "He admitted that he did this?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"It's really daring. Not only betrayed the official, but also killed the official of the court. It is not an exaggeration for such a person to be killed a hundred times. According to the decree, these two people are morally corrupt and have committed heinous crimes. Three days later, they will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate to show the public. !"

"Your Majesty." Lord Geng hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say.

"Could it be that Geng Aiqing disapproves?"

"That's not the case, it's just that the emperor, Mr. Chen, is dead."

"Dead? What's going on, why didn't anyone tell me?"

"The emperor calm down, the thing is like this, I interrogated until dawn last night, because I had to go to court early, it is not good to bring the bad luck of the cell to the main hall, so I went home to take a bath and change clothes, I was about to go out, the prison Then send someone to tell Weichen that Mr. Chen committed suicide."

"Suicide?"

"Yes, Master Chen was brought back to his cell after being interrogated. He happened to see a nail on the wall, so he ran straight into it. The nail pierced his forehead and died on the spot!" After a pause, Master Geng He continued: "Your Majesty, I believe that the reason Mr. Chen committed suicide was because he received the news that Mrs. Chen committed suicide in the middle of the night last night."

"Madam Chen committed suicide too?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, no one knew about it at first. Last night, Mr. Chen refused to recruit anything at first. He insisted on asking Weichen to make sure his wife had arrived home safely. Weichen had no choice but to send someone to Chen's mansion to investigate. However, there was news that Mrs. Chen committed suicide by taking poison."

The emperor was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Forget it, for Mrs. Chen's sake, let the couple be buried. As for Qiu Renwei, execute according to my will!"

The officials knelt down and said: "The emperor is kind, the emperor is wise!"
