His Highness, he wants to repay with marriage

Chapter 21 The Origin of the Case
With a light push from Mu Shen, he pushed back the decision-making power to distinguish the truth from the falsehood to Yun Mohan.

At the same time, the responsibility was imposed on him.

The focus of breaking the deadlock of the case is on him, whether he is willing or not, he has to make this trip.

Otherwise, if His Majesty inquired about this matter after returning to Beijing, he would have no way to explain it.

I don't know if it's because of being threatened or because I felt relieved after getting an affirmative answer. After a little thought, Yun Mohan agreed: "Okay, then let's meet at the door tomorrow morning and go together."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yu, for your understanding." After bowing respectfully to Yun Mohan, Mu Shen strode out.

After his figure disappeared, Yun Mohan turned his eyes to look at Cen Yuwei again: "Now, King Han's action has fulfilled your wish, what are your plans next? It should not just follow him aimlessly to investigate the case like this Bar?"

"Of course not." He didn't continue his previous search, and Cen Yuwei also silently skipped the matter, and talked to him about tomorrow's plan, "Tomorrow, first try to recall the clues you found in Fuyuan Temple, and then... Let's take Chu Qingzhu to another place to have a look."

"Where?"

"Li Village." Cen Yuwei tapped the table with her fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the cause of this case and where you went before you went to Fuyuan Temple?"

"You mean... even if we don't get anything in Fuyuan Temple, we might still find clues in Li Village?" Yun Mohan suddenly understood.

Regarding the case, he already knew a lot about it from the mouths of several people around him.

Strictly speaking, the Taiping County case was not a major case.To put it bluntly, this is actually a case of local officials corrupting ink, official roads, and repairing silver.

It's just that this case was presented to Jinsheng because of twists and turns and the inclusion of Zhang Wanmin's letter.

At first, it was an ordinary villager from Li Village who brought a letter of ten thousand people to Beijing to sue the officials of Taiping County for corruption of ink.They were not only accused of indiscriminate conscription for accepting bribes, but also accused of not paying their wages after the villagers served.

This matter involves a large number of people, and officials in Kyoto dare not neglect it.

After understanding the whole story with the villagers who reported the case, they arranged for people to rest temporarily in the post house, and at the same time, sent officials to investigate.

But this investigation revealed a new problem.

The local scene is prosperous, the officials are dedicated to their duties, and the people in the village are also peaceful.After asking around, no one admitted that there was such a thing as the Wanmin Book.

Such an ending was unexpected by the officials in Kyoto. After staying for a few days, they found nothing abnormal, so they returned to Beijing full of doubts.

It stands to reason that when the matter came to this point, it should be the problem of the reporter.

The officials in Kyoto suspected that he had reported a false case due to personal enmity or other interests, so they planned to arrest him from the post and interrogate him again.

But when they arrived at the post house, they found that the reporter from Li Village, who temporarily lived in the post house, had hanged himself in the post house.When he was dying, he also left a letter of repentance.

What is written in the letter is roughly that I had a personal grievance with the officials of Taiping County, and wanted to take revenge on them a little, so I forged the Wanmin Letter and reported it to Beijing.

However, he did not expect that the high officials in Beijing would take this matter so seriously, and even sent someone to investigate it.He was extremely disturbed, fearing that he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life after the truth was revealed, so he hanged himself to make amends.

All the conjectures seemed to be right, but at this time, things turned around again.
