Comprehensive Wu Jianghu: I am Dali Temple Minister

Although Di Zhiyuan hadn't been in contact with Yang Qingyuan for a long time, he could also feel that Yang Qingyuan didn't have the slightest airs in his dealings with others. If it wasn't for official business, he didn't look like the Shangguan in charge of Dali Temple.

"Then I'll just say it straight!" Di Zhiyuan paused to organize his words.

"Brother Qingyuan, do you feel that the follow-up progress of this case is too smooth! Whether it is the collection of evidence or the collection of confessions, it is very smooth!"

Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but twitched his brows when he heard the sound of "brother Qingyuan", but what Di Zhiyuan said later made Yang Qingyuan fall into deep thought.

After a long silence, Yang Qingyuan said, "Brother Zhiyuan, let's interrogate Li Zhong first!"

Di Zhiyuan also knew that his intuition had no basis at all. Judging from the current evidence, the truth would come to light after Li Zhong confessed.

There is no need to waste time on such baseless feelings.

In Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.

Jing Zhaoyin Tong Jinyan let out a long breath.

Three days ago, someone at the Water Transport Wharf reported to the officials that there was an epidemic. Jingzhao Yintong said that he immediately dispatched Jingzhao Mansion's police officers, and personally ordered the medical centers in Kyoto to send people to the Water Transport Wharf for consultation.

But within three days, the number of people who got sick and died increased sharply, from 17 people on the first day to 89 people on the third day, the number doubled, and the epidemic seemed to be so severe that everyone who got sick died of it.

This Mr. Tong hasn't even slept well in the past two days. Such a domineering epidemic is hard to guard against. If he can't stop it in time, he, the governor of Jingzhao, has done his best.

It is not easy to be a parent officer in this place of God.

People with higher official titles than him, if they are arrested in this capital, they may be involved with the royal family if they are arrested casually.

Tong Jinyan has served as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion for three years, which can be regarded as impartial law enforcement, so there are not a few people offended by it. Now that this kind of thing happened, I don't know how many people want to see his jokes.

Just when Tong Jinyan was in a state of desperation, a memorial from Li Xunhuan reached the cabinet center, which immediately alarmed the cabinet chiefs, and the cabinet's strict orders came immediately.

Can such an epidemic be controlled in a short period of time?

Tong Jinyan has already seen his end at this moment, and it is probably the best ending to be demoted from the capital!One bad thing is to be dismissed from office and questioned. If there is another political enemy behind the scenes to fuel the flames, I am afraid that I will be exiled for three thousand miles.

Just when Master Yintong of Jingzhao Mansion was worried about his future, a figure rushed into the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

"My lord! My lord!"

The person who came was Liu Tong, the head arrester of Jingzhao Yin's house.

Looking at Liu Tong who was trotting all the way, with a lot of dust on his uniform, Tong Jin said that he was not angry.

The cabinet ministers are important ministers in the cabinet, and they can't afford to offend them; although Li Xunhuan, the supervisory censor, went to the cabinet, he was still doing business and did not impeach him.

But you, Liu Tong, don't take me seriously anymore. As the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, how dare you disregard your manners and dishevel your clothes in front of me, Jingzhao Yin? ! !

Don't vent your anger at this time... Don't reprimand at this time, just warn me, when will it be! !

"Liu Butou, what kind of words does this sound like! As a Butou of Jingzhao Mansion, he is disheveled, improperly dressed, flustered, how decent is he!? I have warned you a long time ago, pay attention to the image of etiquette, what do you represent? It is the face of the imperial court, not yourselves!!!”

Liu Tong was confused by this sudden reprimand, and was inexplicably aggrieved, "No! My lord! I have great news here! I came here to inform you!"

Tong Jinyan felt better after reprimanding Liu Tong, and his tone softened a little, "Even if it's good news, scholars should pay attention to their manners, Mount Tai collapses in front of their eyes and their expressions don't change..."

Liu Tong wanted to say that he was not a scholar, but who called him a Shangguan! ?

After chattering again, Tong Jinyan stopped, picked up a teacup on one side, "Tell me! What's the matter!?"

Liu Tong finally got the chance to speak, "My lord! As of today, no one has died of illness at the Water Transport Wharf, and the epidemic has not continued to spread. It has been confirmed by Imperial Physician Liu of the Imperial Hospital..."

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

Tong Jinyan didn't care about the hot tea that wet his clothes, "What did you say? No one died of the disease!! The epidemic is gone?"

"Yes!"

Tong Jinyan slapped the table, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?! Such a big matter is still taking time!? Do you know what is priority?!"

Then a sharp pain slowly spread from the palm, and then there was also a burning pain in the thigh.

Tong Jinyan could no longer maintain his composure, and there was a panic in the main hall of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion.

……

At this time, the sun had already set and the sky was dark.

Unsurprisingly, Dali Temple is working overtime again, and the Public Security Bureau is indeed the busiest department in all dynasties, bar none.

Ever since the Li Bailiang case was initiated, almost no one in Dali Temple had a good meal or a solid sleep.

But today, the staff members of Dali Temple feel that their efforts are rewarded.

Li Bailiang's case can basically be declared solved.

After an hour of interrogation, the perpetrator Li Zhong has already confessed.

The culprit, Li Zhong, was the adulterous son of the deceased Li Bailiang.

Born of Li Bailiang's adultery with a neighbor woman when he was young, his mother was divorced by her husband and was kicked out of the house. Li Zhong and his mother depended on each other for life.

Twenty years ago, Li Bailiang found him by chance, but he was not given the status of father and son, but only used him as the housekeeper of the mansion to teach and train him.

Although Li Zhong didn't study when he was young, he was willing to learn. He took over the affairs of Li's residence within three years and became the chief steward of Li's residence within five years.

Originally, Li Zhong thought that he was the future successor of the Li family, and he had been doing his best.

But after Mrs. Li married into the Li family, everything changed.

Li Bailiang is responsive to Mrs. Li's every request, and even hopes to have a child with Mrs. Li to inherit the family.

But Li Bainian was already very old, and he was already out of business, how could he give birth to a child?

Unexpectedly, Li Bailiang came up with the absurd plan of using other people's seeds to have children. Half a year ago, Li Bailiang chose three young, strong and well-looking people, and presented them to Mrs. Li, hoping to have a son.

And separated from Mrs. Li, so that it is convenient for her to act.

At this point, Steward Li had no more hope, and began to plot murder and blame.

First, he pretended to poison the tea based on Li Bailiang's confidantes, then stopped Mrs. Li from drinking it, and lied that Li Bailiang wanted to kill Mrs. Li with poison, but he couldn't bear it, so he stopped it.

Later, Mrs. Li had to join forces with Li Zhong in order to survive.

The two colluded with Li Afu, Li Wangcai, and Li Gensheng to murder Li Bailiang.

Later, Li Zhong borrowed the hand of his maid Cuizhu and pretended to be Mrs. Li, poisoned the three of them, Li Afu, and then murdered Mrs. Li, pretending to hang himself.

Unexpectedly, Li Afu was not dead, and Cuizhu confessed, which exposed his poisonous plan.
