My country is dying

Chapter 137

"Who!" Suddenly Yun Gui shouted outside the door, followed by a burst of noise outside.

Mi Le only saw a figure passing by in front of the temple, and lowered his head to grab Taishou Zhu's body, but he saw his eyes closed tightly, motionless.

"died."

Hou Junli didn't know when he stepped forward and felt the pulse of Taishou Zhu.

Mi Le stared blankly at Taishou Zhu, who was slowly spilling blood from the corner of his mouth on the ground, and then looked at Hou Junli, who had a calm brow beside him, without saying a word.

Yungui quickly brought news that the assassin was caught, but he committed suicide by taking poison, and no identity information was found on the assassin.

In the ensuing interrogation, all the remaining officials confessed to the embezzlement and bribery, but each of them stated that all the embezzled silver was handed over to Prefect Zhu, and they did not know where it was used.

Regardless of the interrogation, the result was the same, and things fell into a stalemate for a while.

Mi Le looked at Hou Junli: "Who does the Regent think they are behind the scenes?"

Hou Junli met her clear gaze and smiled slightly: "The emperor has been thinking a lot these past two days, doesn't it mean that he already has the answer in his heart?"

Mi Le looked at him: "I am far less clear about the government than the Regent, so I dare not make a rash decision. I want to hear the opinion of the Regent. Who is the most likely person?"

Hou Junli lowered his eyes lightly: "The matter of the river embankment is a major matter brought up by the minister and is responsible for follow-up. From the route planning to the construction, it is all selected by the minister. Linzhou City is the main road for the construction of the river embankment. Linzhou City There are only two possibilities for official corruption.”

"Which two?"

Hou Junli met Mi Le's gaze, and curled his lips: "First, someone is obstructing and destroying the minister's plan, and second, the minister is guarding himself and stealing."

After he said this, his expression was calm, as if the suspect he mentioned was not himself.

Miller fell silent.

To this day, there must be a suspect behind the scenes. As for who it is, it seems like a big mystery. She has an intuition that the matter is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface!
Seeing that Mi Le was silent, Hou Junli said again: "I'm afraid the people behind the scenes will not be found out for a while, but the case of Linzhou City must have a result. Now that Zhu Taishou is dead, the emperor still has to Choose available people to take up the post, and in addition, the aftermath of Linzhou City must also be put on the agenda."

"The regent's words are reasonable, so according to the regent's opinion, how to deal with the affairs of Linzhou City now? Who is suitable to be the prefect of Linzhou in the court and deal with the aftermath?"

Hou Junli smiled, and looked down at the teacup in his hand again: "According to the law, this case of embezzlement and bribery of more than three million taels is a serious crime and should be dealt with severely, but this is just a trivial matter in front of the imperial power. After all, they What he committed was not just corruption and bribery, but also bribed killers to assassinate the emperor, such acts are equivalent to conspiracy, and he should punish the nine clans and make it known to the world."

When he said something, he said it in one go, and downplayed it lightly, but Mi Le's heart caused an uproar.

"Zu Jiu Clan..."

If it is said that a ninety-five supreme being who lives above the temple does not understand firewood, rice, oil, salt, five grains, and worldly affairs, then how can a modern person with a soul of the new century not understand the horror of the Zhujiu clan.

What kind of torture and cruelty is it if one person makes a mistake and the nine clans sit together. What's more, there are more than a dozen officials involved, that is to say, the nine clans with a dozen people are equivalent to thousands of people.

She can decide the life and death of thousands of people with a single order, and most of these people are innocent people. How can she make such a decision?

"If it is inconvenient for the emperor to handle it, this matter can be handed over to the humble minister." Hou Junli said lightly.
