Chapter 71 Judgment
At night, the Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Qi, who was previously sent to Zhejiang to investigate the damage to the dam, was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, telling Jiajing the ins and outs of the incident.

"Your Majesty, that's about it."

"Okay, you have done a good job on this matter, go down and rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Qi then bowed and left.

After Zhu Qi left, Jiajing looked at the letter on the table that recorded the inside story of the destruction of the embankment and flooded the fields, and couldn't help sneering: "It's a good one to destroy the embankment and flood the fields, and it's a good one to plan! Yan Song, Xu Jie, you really are my friends!" Lord of the humerus."

Jiajing then calmed down a little, and called softly: "Lu Fang, go and let someone pass on my oral order, so that Hu Zongxian will return to Beijing to report on his duties immediately after receiving the confession, without delay! He will know what to do."

"Yes, this servant will do it now." Lu Fang replied lightly.

……

Today is the day when Hu Zongxian tried the case of the demolition of the embankment, but the strange thing is that the venue of the trial was set at the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang Province, and except for Hu Zongxian and the subordinate staff who recorded the statement, no one else was allowed to approach.

"Is that all? What else does Li Xuanyi have to explain?"

"Report...Report to the governor, all I know is on this."

Li Xuan replied feebly that at this time he had no good flesh on his body. Since the dam was destroyed, he had been arrested and thrown into prison. In order to make him speak, the jailers had exhausted all their punishments on him.

And after the jailer's torture, followed by Jin Yiwei's torture, it can be called a miracle that Li Xuan was able to hold on until now.

"Well, take him down, and bring me Yang Jinshui." Hu Zongxian took the statement from the subordinate staff at the side, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor!" Hearing this, the yamen servant quickly took Li Xuanguan back to his cell. The only thing waiting for him was death, and this was what he had been looking forward to these days.

"Report to the governor, bring the prisoner Yang Jinshui here!"

"Go down." Hu Zongxian nodded and said.

After the jailer went down, Hu Zongxian looked up and down at the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau, and did not speak for a long time.

Yang Jinshui's treatment was much higher than Li Xuan's, perhaps because his godfather was Lu Fang, Yang Jinshui was not severely tortured, but was a little emaciated due to being imprisoned for too long.

"Does your lord governor have anything to say to you?" Yang Jinshui asked softly seeing that Hu Zongxian had been silent for a long time.

"This trial was ordered by His Majesty, and for this reason, I was given the right to kill first and play later." Hu Zongxian said, picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip, and said nothing more.

"Well, I understand. Thank you, Governor, for your suggestion." Yang Jinshui's eyes flashed dimly, and after a long silence, he opened his mouth.

With Yang Jinshui's intelligence, he naturally received the message from Hu Zongxian, and this matter is over!In other words, this case cannot be investigated any further if it is found here. If the investigation continues, countless high-ranking officials will be involved, even those elders are no exception!
"Yang Jinshui, do you have anything to explain?" Hu Zongxian put down the tea cup in his hand and asked.

"Hmph, who are you, dare to ask me, I am the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor, let me tell you, you release me quickly! Otherwise, I will let the Jade Emperor send a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to overthrow your yamen, Did you hear that? You old bastard!" When Yang Jinshui raised his head again, his face was full of madness, he was talking nonsense, and he was still rolling on the ground.

"I killed you, I killed you, ahhh!"

Yang Jinshui said, ignoring the shackles on his body, and rushed towards Hu Zongxian's position.

But soon, he was pushed to the ground by the yamen servants on the side. Those yamen servants couldn't help saying that they picked up the killing stick in their hands and beat him severely. Soon, Yang Jinshui was beaten to death, and blood oozed from the wound.

"Let go of me, I'm going to kill you! I'm the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor..."

Even though he was pushed down to the ground, Yang Jinshui was still struggling non-stop. While tears were streaming down his face, a foul smell came from him.

"Ah, he's incontinent!"

"Record it, the prisoner Yang Jinshui couldn't stand the interrogation, he's gone mad!" Hu Zongxian stood up from his chair, and said to the little official who was in charge of recording.

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this, the little official quickly recorded what Hu Zongxian said on paper.

"Take him out and let the people see, that's the end." Hu Zongxian turned his back and ordered in a deep voice.

"Hahaha, you little devils, I have sent Yama of the Ten Temples, Black and White Impermanence to take you in, when the time comes, I will put you on a cannon, put you in an oil pan, cut off all your hands and feet, and let you have no peace forever! Hahaha……"

After Hu Zongxian gave the order to go down, some yamen servants took action and escorted Yang Jinshui from the yamen of the governor's mansion to show the public.

"Hahaha, none of you can escape, you all have to die, woo woo woo..."

In this way, the crazy Yang Jinshui was watched by many people on the way back to the prison, and gradually spread throughout the city of Hangzhou.

"Hey, have you heard? I heard that the Governor-General tried the case and frightened the culprit of the damage to the embankment!"

"I heard that the eunuch seems to be the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau. If you want me to tell you, tsk tsk..."

"Okay, I've been displeased with these eunuchs for a long time..."

……

In Shen Yishi's mansion, Zheng Michang, He Maocai and others gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Yang Jinshui is crazy! What should we do? Did he explain everything?"

"Impossible, I think he is pretending to be crazy."

"Hmph, what's impossible? Governor Hu didn't allow me to wait to enter the case before. I think it's probably because he found some key evidence!"

"Will this implicate us?"

"It's better to write a letter to the elders first, report the situation, and then think about the countermeasures."

"Yes, yes, good idea, first write to Ge Lao and the others!"

……

At the same time, the people on Qingliu's side also learned about the fact that Yang Jinshui was insane from various channels. At the same time, they were afraid that Hu Zongxian would really ask something from him, so they hurriedly wrote letters to report the situation here.

Zhejiang Governor's Mansion, in the study.

After Hu Zongxian finished sorting out the confession of the interrogation, the voice of staff Xu Wei came from outside: "My lord, the father-in-law from the palace is waiting outside, saying that he has brought an oral order from His Majesty."

"Well, I'll go right away." After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he put the confession in an envelope and carried it with him.

I saw a white-faced and beardless father-in-law standing outside the Zhezhi Governor's Mansion, and this person was the one who was responsible for carrying the letter to Hu Zongxian.

"His Majesty's oral order, the governor of Zhejiang Province and the governor of Zhejiang Province, Hu Zongxian, will return to Beijing to report on his duties immediately after obtaining the exact confession. There must be no mistakes, I respect you!"

"My minister Hu Zongxian thanked His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Governor Hu, accept the order."

"Yes."

"Father-in-law, can you allow some more time, before I have to explain all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion clearly."

After receiving the order, Hu Zongxian bowed his hands to his father-in-law and asked softly.

"As soon as possible, this is His Majesty's oral order, so don't delay!" After listening to Hu Zongxian's request, the father-in-law frowned displeasedly and said.

"Please don't worry, Eunuch, there won't be much time wasted."

"That's good."

If everyone was half-believed before, now the emperor personally sent someone to send an oral order, and asked Hu Zongxian to return to Beijing to report on his duties with the confession, which shattered the last fantasy in their hearts. What did Hu Zongxian really find out!
