I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 547 Chaos
Public opinion is always guided by novelty.

It had only been a few days since Dou Bian was thrown into prison, but the popularity in Bianliang had dropped... because there was a new topic of discussion.

The military selection department of the Ministry of War, a new concubine, was a little anxious, and he had to get wind soon...

The clerk of the Privy Council likes to fish on the banks of the Bian River when he is resting. It is estimated that many fish in the Bian River were killed by him.The result was retribution, and today I was dragged into the Bian River by a big fish in the Bian River, and never came up again.

Yushitai supervises the censor, has a banquet with friends, and returns late at night.When he was approaching the gate of the mansion, he accidentally fell into the sewer. It was not deep, but he died after being dragged up.

……

It doesn't matter how many people die, people die every day.The problem is that in one day, seventeen officials actually died, and they all died in different ways. It was weird, and none of them died in a normal way.To use a more appropriate term...~ This is called dying.

At first the Zhengshitang didn't take it seriously, but all the yamen of the imperial court were reporting the dead, and they were all officials with some weight, which made the Zhengshitang pay attention.

"Officials, this matter is not trivial, it is not accidental. The old minister thinks that it should be thoroughly investigated! And the court should increase its troops to patrol the night and strictly check all the city gates!"

Fu Bi thought it was the Liaoxia people who were creating chaos... At this juncture, such means can indeed cause chaos in the court to a certain extent.

"I seconded the proposal! Officials, this matter has already been raging in the market, and the court must give an explanation. I suggest that Dali Temple, the Criminal Division, the Criminal Department, the Kaifeng Mansion, the Imperial City Division, and even the Privy Council work together to thoroughly investigate!"

Hmm... Listening to Han Qi's words, the Zhengshitang should not have suspected that the Imperial City Secretary...~Zhao Xi really wanted to point it out, and thought about the coquettish energy of the civil servants group, but held back.

Some people know...

"Sure! The imperial court quickly organized powerful investigators, must give the courtiers an explanation, and restore Bianliang to a bright future!"

What are the methods of criminal investigation in this era?It is nothing more than witnesses and physical evidence, and more is the cooperation of the foreman, and the reasoning of the criminal department.

Zhao Xi didn't think they could really restore the background of the case. If the Secretary of Huangcheng was really implicated, Wang Zhongzheng should step aside.

Wang Zhongzheng has followed him since he was a child, and some methods have been taught by him. Even later generations may not be able to reveal the truth, let alone today.

"Two more will be dealt with within two days, by hanging themselves, and the crime of surrendering to the enemy will be hung in front of the gate of his mansion!"

Thorough investigation?Let the wind turn.

Just before the end of the war, the imperial court needs to focus on the preparations for the negotiations with the Northern Liao Dynasty, because there is no need to involve the imperial court's energy for a few traitors who surrendered to the enemy and treason.

However, Zhao Xi had no choice but to pay attention to the requests from the ministers of the political affairs hall and the emotions of the courtiers.

Then, let the Imperial City Secretary mess up a bit, everyone should understand, right?

I don't know if the Zhengshitang is clear, but the investigators who have just been prepared are a little at a loss. I don't know whether to deal with the two newly deceased.

After all, it is relatively easy to collect evidence in a new crime location.But, that's treason!

"Whether the courtiers are traitors to the enemy, whether they are traitors or traitors, the imperial court has its own laws, and there should be a supervisor to investigate and deal with it! How can you let the ranger gang intervene? If this is the case, what is the use of the imperial court?"

Unexpectedly, it was the people from the Imperial City Division who were most active in handling the case of the newly deceased officials, which made the investigators somewhat relieved.

The Imperial City Division represents the officials, and the opinions of the Imperial City Division are the official opinions.

Therefore, everyone really devoted themselves to the investigation of the case...

The first measure passed by all was to let the Kaifeng government begin to clean up the city foxes and social mice in Bianliang.

How can that sentence be left to the Ranger Gang's influence, directing the direction of case investigation to the Ranger Gang.

That night, a ranger suddenly stormed the city gate and escaped...

The night patrol of Kaifeng Mansion is busy, the city guards of the new army are busy, the courtiers and workers are also passionate, and even the Zhengshitang has begun to get angry.

"Heroes use martial arts to violate the ban! The rebellion of the knight-errants in the Han and Tang Dynasties has the potential to revive! How unreasonable! You can send new soldiers to cooperate with the Kaifeng government to patrol the city!"

Han Qi is really a little annoyed, this is completely provoking the court.

Fu Bi was unusually calm...he was wondering.

Nothing happens by accident.At first, he tended to be from the Northern Liao Dynasty or the Xixia people, because the Liaoxia people would benefit from the chaos in Bianliang.

The development of the situation made him a little confused.He never believed that the ranger gang would be so rampant and dare to wantonly assassinate courtiers in the capital, they didn't have the guts.

"Gentlemen, Cao Taiwei asks to see you..."

The scribes came in to report, and although the princes were a little puzzled, they welcomed the head of the Cao family in.

The family of Wu Xun is very good at participating in political affairs, and rarely comes to Qinzheng Hall...

"Gentlemen, today "Cuju Express" has accepted an article, which is of great importance. I am a little uncertain whether it should be published or not. I hope you can give me some advice."

Taiwei Cao got straight to the point without any politeness, and directly handed a few pieces of paper to Fu Bi.

A few pieces of paper were passed around for all the ministers to read, but no one spoke.

It's been silent for a long time...

"Publish it..."

After Fu Bi said this, he seemed to be sucked out of breath, and sat down slowly.

I thought about suppressing it, but since the Cao family brought it, the officials will definitely know.

"Taiwei, the old man wants to know the source."

"Returning to the rich minister, the editor of the newspaper picked it up this morning, and it is at the gate of the "Cuju Express" office."

Not the headlines, but someone always saw it.On this day, "Cuju Express" was out of stock again, and it was printed again.

It turns out that all the courtiers who died had connections with the Liao people!

It turns out they are all damned!It's retribution!

"Cuju Express" published the resumes of those ministers who died recently.Zhending Mansion, Daizhou, Tang County, etc., all bordered the Beiliao.

Moreover, the article also published a story, the story of the Zhending Mansion in Hebei Province, which tells the story of the official who was in charge of Zhending, colluded with the Liao people, exploited and killed Zhending people...

At the same time, it lists in detail the process of how those who died had intimate contact with the Liao envoys since the war with the Northern Liao Dynasty.One after another, they all show one fact: they are traitors!
At the same time, the clerks and shopkeepers at the place where the courtiers came into contact with the Liao people also vividly described the facts they seemed to see.

Therefore, these families were also found by Bianliang people...

There is nothing to love in life, and it is difficult to move an inch. This is the situation of those courtiers and their families.The deceased had just been buried, but he could not arrange the funeral, because even his relatives and friends were afraid of being implicated, let alone the neighbors.

Fortunately, it was winter, otherwise the corpse would have stink...

Bianliang people showed unprecedented common hatred in this matter.Even those who sell shrouds have rejected the sales of these people.

As for the officials who are going to thoroughly investigate the case...what the hell!Let's go back to each house, don't say you can't find it out, so what if you find it out?Is it possible that the court will deal with it?

Don't make trouble for the court.
