Great Lawyer

Chapter 579 Accidental Death ([-])

After the formalities of the Ministry of Officials' debriefing were completed, Qi Daiqing was leaving.

Du Jiuyan went to see him off at the gate of the city, and Qi Daiqing cupped his hands and said to her, "Being able to know Jiuyan before leaving is the luck of Qi's three lives. Jiuyan has a heart of heaven and earth and great ambitions, and he will surely achieve something in the future that will attract the attention of the world. Great cause for the benefit of future generations."

"Qi is incompetent and cannot help, but if Jiuyan needs it in the future, he will spare no effort."

Du Jiuyan saluted and said: "It is also Jiuyan's good fortune to know you. I wish you all the best in the future."

"To each other!" Qi Daiqing saluted to King Gui again, was supported by his servants into the carriage, and left the city.

Du Jiuyan waited until the carriage had gone far before returning to the government office.

When Wu Dianyin took office, he just got acquainted with the people in the whole yamen, and rushed back to look through the files. The lame man sat under him and helped him sort out the files. Du Jiuyan knocked on the door and went in. Wu Dianyin said: "My lord, Jiuyan."

"My lord, do you need our help?" Du Jiuyan sat down, and the clerk served tea.

Wu Dianyin wiped off his sweat, and said, "To be honest, the affairs of the Beijing government are indeed much more complicated than that of Baoqing's government."

"Just now I recognized a group of people, and five or six out of ten of them have backgrounds." Wu Dianyin said: "If something happens, I'm afraid these people are the flowers in the confession case. They can't be touched, so I won't talk about it." Work done."

Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "In the capital, it is said that you should be a person before you do things. But when you are in the government office, my lord, it seems that you are close to the court hall, but it is actually far away."

"In my humble opinion, you don't care about other things, just do things. Everything is laid out step by step and principles."

"As long as you have a bottom line of principle and do things well and rationally, someone will protect you."

Wu Dianyin thought about this, King Gui nodded and said, "Jiuyan is right. If you only think about making money and being a human being, then you will have nothing to lose."

"There are so many people with higher rank than you, and you won't be able to curry favor with them." King Gui said, "Be honest and do a good job in the government office. If you offend someone, someone will protect you."

Wu Dianyin thought for a while, and it should be, "Yes, yes. Then I will do things seriously, and I will not ask anything that has nothing to do with my job."

"That's right." King Gui said: "What's more, didn't you follow the relationship of Jiu Yan to enter Lu Ge's door? Who else do you have to be afraid of?"

"Qian Yu is in Dali Temple, so don't be afraid even if there is a deviation in his position, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are their people."

Wu Dianyin laughed, cupped his hands and said: "My lord is joking, how dare I make trouble for Mr. Qian, Mr. Ge Lao, I can't help, and I can't make trouble."

"Why are you nervous, even Mr. Qiu is not nervous." Du Jiuyan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Zhang's voice sounded at the door, "Oh, who is talking about this old man, no wonder he keeps sneezing and his ears are always red."

"My lord, you are very careless." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

Everyone bowed to each other, Qiu Zhang and Wu Dianyin said: "Knowing that Mr. Wu is taking office today, I'm here to congratulate you. From now on, we will both be officials in Beijing. We need to take care of each other."

"Master Qiu is too polite, I beg Mr. Qiu to take care of you."

A year ago, Qiu Zhang was the magistrate of Qipin County in Xinhua, and Wu Dianyin was his immediate superior.A year later, although Qiu Zhang was inferior to Wu Dianyin in official position, he is now a very popular household doctor.

In just one year, Qiu Zhang can be said to have flourished.

Therefore, Wu Dianyin did not lie when he said that Qiu Zhang would take care of him.

"Master Wu is being modest," Qiu Zhang said, "Mr. Qiu is old, and it's only been a few years, but you, Mr. Wu, are in your prime and have a bright future."

Wu Dianyin waved his hand, "Master Qiu, you are the right age. Luo Tong joined the cabinet at 65, and served as chief assistant at the age of 70. Compared with him, Mr. Qiu, you are still younger."

Du Jiuyan, King Gui, and the lame man sat down to eat snacks, listening to Wu Dianyin and Qiu Zhang boasting to each other.

Actually said a cup of tea time in a casual manner.

It is estimated that the mouth is a bit dry after talking too much, so the two of them took a break.

"I admire you two." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Scholars have different reactions."

Qiu Zhang pointed at Du Jiuyan, "After you have the support of the prince, you have become more and more uncontrollable. Watch out for the prince to deal with you."

Du Jiuyan stared, "Sir, did you eat a jar of honey today?"

After the congratulations, Wu Dianyin came to congratulate King Gui again.

"The old man is telling the truth." Qiu Zhang said and looked at King Gui, "My lord, are you right in what I said, I speak from the bottom of my heart."

King Gui was very praised, nodded his head and said: "You are right, this king highly affirms you."

"Thank you, my lord," Qiu Zhang said.

Du Jiuyan rolled his eyes unceremoniously at Qiu Zhang.

"My lord!" Gu Qingshan came in from the door, King Gui looked at him, "What's the matter?"

Gu Qingshan replied in a low voice: "King Anshan, he is dead!"

King Gui's face darkened slightly.

Everyone was startled, and they all looked surprised. Du Jiuyan asked, "How did you die?"

"People from the Tai Hospital went to the hospital and said that King Anshan was ill. The princess also proved that King Anshan had been suffering from dizziness and angina pectoris. He said that he had chest tightness when he woke up this morning. He thought he would be fine after a short rest, but he didn't expect to wait until noon for dinner. When it’s time to call him, he won’t be able to wake up.”

"So, when he died, no one was around?" King Gui asked.

Gu Qingshan nodded.

"I'll go and have a look." King Gui got up, looked at Du Jiuyan and the lame man, "Let's go together."

The lame man put down the file in his hand and stood up.

"How could King Anshan die suddenly at such a young age?" Qiu Zhang muttered, "My lord, do you want to take Wu Zuo with you?"

King Gui waved his hand, "Let's talk about it after I go to see it."

The three of King Gui went to the Clan Mansion. At the moment, there were people coming and going in the Clan Mansion, and everyone was a little flustered. When they arrived, they happened to meet Zhao Yu who was about to leave, and everyone went forward to salute.

"Mo Xi," Zhao Yu pointed to the inside with an ugly expression on his face, "You, go and see him off."

King Gui sized Zhao Yu up, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't be sad, he's going to die like this."

"Yeah." Zhao Yu nodded, "Zhen, I'm back."

As he said that, he took Xue Yin and his party and walked away quickly.

Du Jiuyan stopped and looked at Zhao Yu's back, raised his eyebrows, and said lamely, "What are you thinking?"

"The emperor is really kind." Du Jiuyan said in a low voice: "If I were any emperor, I wouldn't keep King Anshan until now, and I wouldn't show such sadness after King Anshan died. expression."

The lame man nodded, and said, "We grew up together since we were young, and there is more or less brotherhood."

He said, motioning Du Jiuyan to see King Gui.

King Gui was stepping into the room, and there was a sense of bleakness in his back. Du Jiuyan shrugged and followed King Gui into the door.

This is not the first time Princess Anshan has seen her. She has a plump figure and looks a bit bitter. She is crying at the moment, and her two sons are standing behind her, wiping away their tears.

The whole family has lost a lot of weight since they came to the clan's mansion from Anshan, which is quite different from the high-spirited feeling before.

King Anshan was lying on the bed, had already been buried, and was wearing a navy blue shroud. His once vivid face was now lifeless.

Du Jiuyan swept across his fingers, the nails were very light in color, without any signs of poisoning.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" King Gui asked Princess Anshan.

Princess Anshan stood up and replied: "...It is said that it was caused by angina pectoris. In the past, several princes in the ancestors also suffered from this in their middle age. This disease is, it is hereditary."

Du Jiuyan speculated that it might be a myocardial infarction.

As for whether it is genetic, she is not sure, but King Anshan did not have it at the age of 30 this year. It is really a pity that he died of this disease at a young age.

"Yeah." King Gui looked at King Anshan, and asked after a long time, "Just lying here?"

Princess Anshan replied: "Yes, yes!"

"Thank you sister-in-law." King Gui said lightly, nodded with Princess Anshan, turned around and left.

Princess Anshan covered her face with a handkerchief and began to cry.

Du Jiuyan nodded with her, and followed King Gui out.

"My condolences!" Du Jiuyan patted King Gui on the shoulder, "Although he left at a young age, I have to say that he is actually very lucky."

To die like this is actually better than being trapped in the clan's mansion for a lifetime and being pulled out by Zhao Yu to beheaded one day.

How long to live and how many days to live depends entirely on Zhao Yu's mood.

"There's nothing to be sad about. Just like you said, it's his blessing to die like this." King Gui said, "I just thought of something just now, and my heart was a little heavy."

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"Will you be buried according to the rituals of the feudal king?" the lame man asked.

King Gui shook his head, "I don't know. But according to my brother's personality, he is more or less inseparable." After he finished speaking, Xue Yin came with the people from the Ministry of Rites, and read the imperial decree to Princess Anshan. As expected, he entered the palace according to the specifications of the vassal king. burial.

Zhao Yu, how kind!Du Jiuyan sighed.

However, even though it was in accordance with the vassal king's specifications, King Anshan's death still didn't cause much commotion, only there was a commotion in the palace. Concubine Zhou must go to her son's funeral in person. The queen mother agreed and let her attend, but Concubine Zhou disappeared for half an hour during the praise ceremony.

No one knew where she had gone for half an hour.

In the evening, she went back as if nothing had happened, sat in the Yikun Palace, her hair turned gray overnight, and within a few days she became crazy and did not recognize anyone.

Du Jiuyan was very curious when he heard it, "My lord, you don't know where she went?"

"I didn't pay attention," King Gui wrote, raised his head and glanced at her, "Are you curious?"

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Things are still very weird, so I'm instinctively curious."

King Gui put down the pen, shook the words in his hand, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Du Jiuyan admired it for a while, and there were two words that he didn't recognize, "It's beautiful!"

When King Gui is doing something seriously, he will be surprisingly good, such as his words, "My lord, how did you change from a good boy to an ignorant dude, please tell me about your mental journey .”

"I've always been ignorant, and a good boy is just for my father to see." King Gui threw the words into balls and threw them into the bucket.

Du Jiuyan snorted, thinking of her typo last time, "My lord, how do you write a corpse?"

King Gui glanced at her and wrote something on the paper.

"So that's how it is." Du Jiuyan learned to write it again, and sighed: "My lord, do you think I really want to take a test for fame?"

King Gui said: "I can introduce you to a female gentleman who is quite knowledgeable."

"Forget it." Du Jiuyan wrote and drew on the paper, "I'd better continue to be uneducated. After all, inviting the teacher back will easily expose the fact that I am uneducated."

King Gui raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll teach you."

"You should continue to be ignorant." As she spoke, she dropped her pen and was about to speak when Xie Ying's voice sounded from outside the door, saying, "My lord, I made some soup and brought you some."

Du Jiuyan and King Gui looked at each other, their brows raised.
