Great Lawyer

Chapter 698 Death by Poisoning ([-])

On July 11th of the [-]th year of Shuntian, Ren Yanhui, the second assistant of the court, was punished for several crimes and sentenced to execution, and all his property was confiscated.

On the same day, when he retired from the court, he was presided over by the chief officer of the third division, and entered the office to search the house.

Thirty-six thousand taels of cash and 6000 taels of gold were seized. The total number of banknotes at various bank accounts was 6000 million taels, and the value of each treasure and plaything was 7608 million taels. There are eleven rooms in each size, and the land deeds for good land are hard to calculate...

Zhao Yu flipped through the account books, and said to Xue: "In the past, I also knew that he would not be clean, but I never thought that this unclean is so unclean."

"It seems that in the future I will be poor and suffer, and I will confiscate two of them. Once the house is raided, I will be able to fill the treasury once and make a fortune."

Xue Yin didn't dare to answer, he stood aside and didn't speak.

"Xue Jian," Zhao Yu asked helplessly, leaning back on the chair wearily, "Do you think I'm a good emperor?"

Xue Yin said: "Yes! You are a good emperor."

"Then why do they still treat me like this?" Zhao Yu said, "I think I didn't treat them badly, and I'm not as domineering and arbitrary as my ancestors. No matter how big or small, I always discuss it. They have a reason, and I have given enough face, but Why did it end up like this?"

"Is it because I'm easy to bully?"

Xue Yin replied: "My lord, it's their business to distinguish between good and bad, traitors and loyal people. It has nothing to do with you. Even if the ancestors of the ancestors are alive, there are treacherous villains."

"What you said makes sense. It's their treachery, not my fault." After saying that, he laughed again, "They all think that I should have killed Ren Yanhui earlier."

"It's not that I'm reluctant, but that no one is more useful than him."

Xue Yin understood, and passed tea to Zhao Yu, "They don't understand your difficulties, and it's not your fault if you don't blame them."

Ren Yanhui's usefulness is that he will listen to Zhao Yu's words unconditionally, he will not distinguish the pros and cons of persuading Zhao Yu to make a decision, as long as it is Zhao Yu's hints and words, he will handle them meticulously.

For example, in the past two years, Huizhou merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture made a fuss, protesting that the salt market was too chaotic, and the price increase suppressed the market, forcing them to have nowhere to go.Lu Zhangzhi meant to re-promulgate the regulations and thoroughly rectify them.But Zhao Yu didn't think so. He felt that the re-promulgation would take too much time and energy. The most important thing right now was to settle the matter, and then promulgate the regulations later to slowly rectify them.

But more than half of the people in the court agreed, and they praised Lu Zhangzhi's method well.

He also knew it was good, but it was too slow, and he didn't want to listen to Lu Zhangzhi.

Therefore, Zhao Yu hinted at Ren Yanhui.At present, Ren Yanhui came out to oppose, and gave examples of one, two, and three, and led his party members to quarrel with Lu Zhangzhi in the early court.

In the end, the two methods were put on hold, but Ren Yanhui wrote to the Yangzhou Salt Inspector in private, and with lightning speed, he caught several troublemakers who took the lead in making trouble, and beat them violently, and those troublemakers were dying to hang in one breath.

The result of killing chickens to warn monkeys is that the situation is instantly suppressed.

Afterwards, Lu Zhangzhi questioned Ren Yanhui.Ren Yanhui did not deny it, and took a step back with a good attitude, agreeing to Lu Zhangzhi's re-promulgation of the regulations.

Zhao Yu was really reluctant to part with Ren Yanhui like this.

It's not that they can't find it, but it's that they have to work hard to cultivate, adapt to each other's minds, and have to be alert to each other.

"Forget it," Zhao Yu said with a wry smile, "That's already the case, if I stay here, I'm putting the cart before the horse."

Xue should be.

"Candidates for the cabinet," Zhao Yu asked, "Do you think the Wang Pavilion always needs to be handed over?"

Xue Yin understood that Zhao Yu was just talking to himself, not really asking him.

"Mr. Lu Ge handed in two candidates, let Mr. Ma Ge hand over the second assistant, the position of the latter will remain the same, and Qian Yu will be added." Zhao Yu said: "Lu Zhangzhi is good, but he is too upright!"

No matter what Lu Zhangzhi does, he will consider the overall situation.No one in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty was more loyal than Lu Zhangzhi.

But the problem is, if everything about Lu Zhang is right.

Lu Zhangzhi was right, no matter what he considered, he should listen to Lu Zhangzhi, but he kept listening, who would know his lord after a long time?

You can listen, but not all the time, it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

"Otherwise," Xue Yin pointed cautiously at another member of the cabinet, "Old Liu Ge?"

Zhao Yu raised his brows slightly, Xue Kan hurriedly knelt down and said, "This servant deserves to die."

"Get up," Zhao Yu said, "You are also rare!"

Xue Ya wiped the sweat from his brow, stood up with weak knees, and stood aside with his hands down, not daring to speak any more.

Zhao Yu was hesitant, wanting Qian Yu to come in, but he didn't want to block his retreat all at once.

"I forgot one thing. King Gui and King Ning went to suppress the bandits?"

Xue Yin replied, "Let's leave at dawn today."

"Didn't you ask Meng Jiao to accompany you, didn't you lead the troops?" Zhao Yu asked.

Xue Yin shook his head, "Dudu Meng didn't go, and the group of them went there with bare hands."

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly, but said nothing.

In the afternoon, Qian Yu went to Lu Zhangzhi's house. The two were in the study. Qian Yu said, "My lord, is it too early to recommend the next official to join the cabinet?"

"Try what the Holy One wants," Lu Zhangzhi said, "according to the seniority, there are not many people like you. Now it depends on the attitude of the Holy Majesty towards us."

Ren Yanhui is gone, even if Zhao Yu has no complaints against them, he will not be happy for a while.

But how much depends on who Zhao Yu agrees to enter the cabinet this time.

"The lower officials feel that the possibility is relatively small." Qian Yu said.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded, but it didn't matter, "Since ancient times, loyal words are hard to hear, and it is difficult to be a loyal minister!"

"Don't be discouraged, the current situation is getting better and better, you should be happy." Qian Yu said.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded, but he had a vague feeling that things would not be as simple as they thought, but it was hard for him to predict what would happen.

We can only take one step at a time and deal with it step by step.

"Wang Ye and Mr. Du left the city?" Qian Yu asked.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded, "Ren Yanhui is going to be sentenced today, the three princes probably want to go out to avoid it. It's good to avoid it, so as not to involve the princes again."

"Yes!"

Lu Zhangzhi said again: "Ren Yanhui is still there, tell the people in the prison to watch over him strictly."

"Yes!"

Qian Yu didn't stay for long, so he said goodbye and went home.

Lu Zhangzhi returned to the inner courtyard, Xiao Luobo will live here tonight, the family is busy remaking the bed and changing bedding for Lu Nianzong, the family had a lively dinner at night, Lu Zhangzhi and Lu Nianzong were sitting opposite each other While playing chess, Little Carrot was watching the battle, and Mrs. Lu was busy looking at the fabrics brought from Jiangnan cloth shop. She wanted to customize a wedding dress for Du Jiuyan, but she was not satisfied with the few choices she chose.

……

In the prison of Dali Temple, Ren Yanhui was dozing against the wall, when suddenly footsteps came in unhurriedly, he opened his eyes vigilantly, glanced at the other party, and closed them again.

The man carried the kettle and poured water one by one. Some people woke up and drank the water and went to sleep.

The person carrying the kettle came to Wu Wenjun's room, poured a bowl and put it on the ground, then went to Ren Yanhui's side, poured a bowl, then turned and left without looking back.

Ren Yanhui didn't want to drink at first, but after dark today, there was no water in the cell.

So seeing the water now, he got up and drank it.Wu Wenjun on the opposite side was also holding water. The two looked at each other, then turned their gazes contemptuously, and drank water.

After drinking a bowl of water, Ren Yanhui fell to his knees as soon as he returned to the bunk. He supported his stomach and turned to look at Wu Wenjun.

"Come on!" Wu Wenjun also covered his belly on the ground and screamed outside.

Immediately someone came in.

Ren Yanhui was so painful that his head was covered in cold sweat and he couldn't speak. He fell to the ground and could hear the sound of stumbling footsteps from far to near. He looked three or five steps away, and Wu Wenjun also looked at him with distorted eyes.

He suddenly wanted to laugh, they were best friends but they turned against each other in the end, after the turn against each other, they thought they would die forever, but they didn't expect that they would die in one day.

Wu Wenjun also laughed, pointing at him from afar through the railing, and lost his voice in pain, after a while his hands fell to the ground without making a sound, leaving only his distorted and pale face.

"Ridiculous," Ren Yanhui thought it was ridiculous. Before today, he would never have imagined that one day he would die without knowing whose hands he would die.

He is not willing!

Ren Yanhui spat out a mouthful of blood, opened his eyes wide, and swallowed his breath.

Busy and unaware that the night was getting dark, Xiao Luobo fell asleep on Lu Nianzong's lap, Lu Zhangzhi played the chess and said, "It's too late, take him back to sleep."

"Yeah, yum!" Lu Nianzong hugged the little radish, "Father, you should also rest earlier."

Lu Zhangzhi sent the two of them out, and just returned to the room to sit down, when his Chang Sui hurried in and said, "Master, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhangzhi put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and immediately thought of Ren Yanhui.

Chang Sui whispered: "A quarter of an hour ago, Ren Yanhui and Wu Wenjun died in prison."

"How did he die?" Lu Zhangzhi stood up, and Chang Sui replied, "As the arsenic was mixed in the water, the two of them drank the water and bled to death on the spot."

Lu Zhangzhi sat back down with a sullen face.

Chang Sui then replied, "Lord Qian has just arrived at the Yamen. He detained all the people on duty tonight and is interrogating them carefully. He has not reported to the superior yet, but he is indeed dead. It is impossible to hide it."

"Where is the answer?" Elder Lu Ge asked.

"Tuta is fine."

Lu Zhangzhi and Chang Sui ordered, "Tell Mr. Qian to get a similar medicine and feed it to Tu Da, so as not to kill anyone, control the dosage."

"Yes!"

Chang Sui led the order to go to Dali Temple. Qian Yu got the order and quickly ordered someone to do it. He fed Tuta with medicine and quickly detoxified him. Although Tuta fell into a coma, his life was not in danger.

At daybreak, Qian Yu sent someone to report back to the palace. Zhao Yu was about to sit down to eat after washing up. When he heard Xue Press's story, he put down his spoon in a daze, and said in a very cold tone: "Ren Yanhui and Wu Wenjun Are they all dead?"

"Yes! He was poisoned and died." Xue Pressed.

Zhao Yu sneered, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Old Lu Ge has no confidence in me. As soon as he entered the prison, he couldn't wait to kill him immediately."

"I'm afraid I'll go back on my word and promote Ren Yanhui again?"

Xue Yin refilled the tea, paused before adding: "In the Dali Temple report, there is also Tu Da who was poisoned together."

"Tuta?" Zhao Yu was taken aback, "You said Tuda was also poisoned?"

Xue nodded.

Did he misunderstand that Ren Yanhui was not killed by Lu Zhangzhi?After all, if Lu Zhangzhi wants to kill Ren Yanhui, it is impossible to kill Tu Da together.

Anyone else?

Zhao Yu frowned, thoughtfully.
