Mi Kongqun is dead.
When palace officials discovered Mi Kongqun's body, it was already the afternoon of the second day after the incident.
Seeing the bloody body of Mi Kongqun, the chief internal officer Jiang Zhong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
And this news shocked the entire palace.
Mi Kongqun is no ordinary chamberlain. Apart from his status as a royal cabinet, he also possesses the peak cultivation level of Yae Mountain. His previous battles with the four young masters, and his subsequent ability to withstand Ling Xiao's drunken sword and survive without dying. , has long made the royal family fearful, but such a strong man died so silently, wouldn't it be frightening? Everyone is in danger, and with this heart, everyone will do their best, whether in public or private. Thorough investigation!
Yun Yang came to the home of Wu Lie, the Minister of Punishment, for the second time.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wu." Yun Yang checked carefully and said, "Now your son's body has fully recovered and he can live as long as an ordinary person."
Wu Lie was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
"However... My son has been weak for many years and has injured his essence. In addition, his innate talents are not very good... "
Yun Yang considered it carefully and said: "From now on, I can only pursue further studies in terms of literary and cultural attainments; I must not practice Xuan Qi, which will aggravate physical wear and tear..."
Wu Lie was extremely satisfied and said: "I understand, I understand, as long as my son can have a normal life span, this is already very good, excellent, such a great thing. I never dreamed that today would happen, how dare I There are no other extravagant wishes.”
He smiled and said: "Besides, as the saying goes, the poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. If you want to practice martial arts, you not only need talent, but also a lot of wealth. And our family... is almost impoverished. How can we support a mysterious cultivator?" With the growth of the child, the child can be a scholar with a clear conscience... This is a beautiful thing that I could not have dreamed of before, and I am already satisfied."
Yun Yang said: "Master Wu has a bright mind, and I am sincerely convinced."
Wu Lie said with gratitude: "It is Wu who should thank Master Feng Zun. Master Feng Zun's kindness to my Wu family is so great that I... I... really can't repay it."
Wu Lie was really grateful at this moment.
But with his character, he really couldn't say something like, "From now on, I will risk my life even if I am sent to do it."
Because... he will not use his power to make any promises!
This is the foundation of his life, the way he conducts himself in the world, and the principles of life that do not violate his original intention.
Yun Yang laughed and said, "Well done, my lord, Yutang's criminal law means well. You're welcome."
Wu Lie was so grateful that he couldn't speak. He just kept holding Yun Yang's hand and shaking it.
"But there is one thing, but I need some information from Mr. Wu." Yun Yang said.
"What is it?" Wu Lie said: "As long as Wu can do it, it does not violate the laws of the country, and Wu has no objection."
Yun Yang said: "That's it... How much does Mr. Wu know about Shen Yushi?"
When Wu Lie heard this, he immediately frowned.
Shen Yushi is the minister of the Ministry of Justice; he is the number one person in the Ministry of Justice under Wu Lie; but this person has always been very low-key in his behavior, just like a shadow. Although he does his best, he never shows up.
There are very few records about this man.
In fact, there is no difference at all in the Jiutian Order's records about Shen Yushi. If Mi Kongqun hadn't revealed it, it would have been difficult to connect this person with the Four Seasons Tower spies. Yun Yang actually had some doubts about this. .
You can't... Mi Kongqun just kill whoever he says is him, right? What if you kill the wrong good guy
Wu Lie pondered for a moment and said: "Shen Yushi... May I ask Lord Feng Zun why he asked about this person? Is there anything fishy about this person?"
Yun Yang said: "To be honest with Mr. Wu, I suspect that this person is related to the ambush and attack on our Tianxuan Cliff."
Wu Lie's expression was shaken and he said: "It turns out that Master Feng Zun is also suspicious of this person... Your Excellency really has good intentions."
"Yeah?" Yun Yang said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, Mr. Wu?"
Wu Lie shook his head bitterly: "Shen Yushi is cautious and low-key; he never does anything that shows off his merits, and he never takes credit for anything he does; even if he has merit in hand, he will give in when he can, so among his colleagues Among them, the reputation is excellent.”
"Among his colleagues, even if someone steps on him to get the position, he has no complaints. He sits in the same position and does not move for several years, and he is calm and gentle. He is not impatient or impatient. Occasionally, he is implicated by others and his official position is demoted, but he never complains. … This person, rather than being said to be a good old man without any temper, is better to be said to be a sage among people.”
Wu Lie said: "However, I have always suspected that there is a huge secret hidden in this person."
"How can I see it?"
Yun Yang asked. From Wu Lie's description, Yun Yang had already vaguely guessed where Wu Lie was suspicious, but further evidence was needed.
"I have been working in criminal law for so many years, and I know deeply that in this world, people will make mistakes and have weaknesses. But this Shen Yushi, Minister Shen, behaved too perfectly."
"He does not covet official position, does not covet wealth, does not covet fame, and does not covet doing things for the people..."
Wu Lie said: "He seems to be omnipotent... He is never willing to achieve results in anything he does. Even if he achieves results, he will try his best to push others to do so... He is not greedy for promotion and wealth... "
"I also thought that he might be a brilliant person who only knew how to benefit the people and did not seek fame or fortune. However, in certain things, I found that this was not the case."
"So sometimes I think, this man has been an official for so many years, not for fame and wealth, nor for the common people, so why on earth is he?"
Wu Lie said: "Is there really an official in this world who has no goals? And he is also a high official in the imperial court?"
Yun Yang pondered and said, "Your Excellency, have you ever investigated this person?"
"Yes." Wu Lie laughed miserably and said, "When Shen Yushi served as my deputy, I have always been cautious. How could I not check if there is anything wrong with my deputy? So... start checking."
"But after a month and a half of investigation, all the criminal department personnel sent out by me died violently without exception."
"And my wife was brutally murdered for no reason at that time."
There was strong anger and unwillingness in Wu Lie's eyes.
"But Shen Yushi is still my deputy and treats me with respect; if he is asked to do anything, he will still go all out... All the people who died have a reason for their death, either by coincidence, or by being killed by a strong man, or... anyway, any A person’s death has nothing to do with Master Shen!”
"But after my own careful investigation, I confirmed that the only thing these people have in common is the investigation of Shen Yushi."
"I reported this to the imperial court and asked the military commander to assist in the investigation..."
The muscles on Wu Lie's face twitched, and he said with deep hatred in his eyes: "But that very night, my son met with bad luck."
"There is still no evidence. But from that time on, for so many years, he has been under my nose. When I moved up a level, he followed suit. He has always been my deputy... "
Wu Lie flashed a strong look of helplessness: "I even made a mistake deliberately and asked for relegation. I wanted to go down and become a local magistrate to get rid of this person. However, he actually became my master after a few days. All the procedures were done." It’s all just and true, without any omissions…”
"When I couldn't stand it anymore, His Majesty the Emperor happened to be hiring someone, so I returned to serve in the Ministry of Punishment. However, only three days later, he was transferred back and served as my deputy... His Majesty was so generous that he promoted me to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but that heavy Yushi also became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment... "
"No trace of human manipulation can be found in any of the things. Based on my experience, this matter is really unbelievable. If I hadn't personally experienced everything and it was relayed by a third party, I would never letter… "
Wu Lie looked troubled and said: "I know it in my heart; the person who has always been in front of me and is respectful is the sworn enemy who harmed my wife and my son; and he is trampling on the laws of the empire wantonly. , a lawless murderer, but I can't do anything against him. I can't hide from him, I can't take him down, I can't check him, I can't even kill him..."
"I can only watch him in front of me day after day, dangling here and there..."
"Even if someone wanted to beat him up while drunk, he couldn't beat him... I have no power to restrain the chicken..."
Wu Lie sighed deeply: "I wonder if Master Feng Zun understands this feeling of mine?"
Yun Yang couldn't help but reach out and rub his face.
He was also speechless.
Hearing this, I felt a chill on my behalf for Wu Lie.
This Shen Yushi is really a weirdo, and he can actually be so vicious...
There really is no one left.
I harmed your wife and your son; then, I hang out in front of you every day; I follow you wherever you go, and I like to see you hate me to the core, but there is nothing you can do about me. …
Yun Yang made up his mind instantly.
I will kill this Shen Yushi!
In this world, there may be people who lie and kill people with a borrowed knife, but this person definitely cannot be Wu Lie!
Since Wu Lie said that this person has a problem, then this person must have a problem!
Regarding this, Yun Yang trusted Lord Wu Lie without any reservation!
For this reason, whether Shen Yushi is from the Four Seasons Building is no longer that important!
"It seems that this Shen Yushi really has a problem, and it's a big problem!" Yun Yang pondered.
Wu Lie said: "There is something wrong with this person for sure, but I don't have any evidence in my hand to prove this person, but what can I do against him? I believe that if we try to sanction this person, the other party will be able to come up with countless Evidence, witness, physical evidence, and time prove that we are wrong! And behind him, there are countless court officials who are willing to testify for him!"
Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, "Master Wu is a criminal lawyer, so it is understandable that he pays attention to evidence, but I... am not a person who practices criminal law!"
He looked at Wu Lie and chuckled: "I kill people, and there is no need for evidence!"
