After Tao Cheng finished asking all the questions, he asked Li Jing to stay in Tao's house for a while, and only let him go home after his face looked normal and his eyes were no longer red.
"Uncle, can you check if any death row prisoners in Linchuan prison have been replaced?" Shen Xihe waited until Li Jing left before saying to Tao Cheng.
“Yoyo, you are doubting…” Tao Cheng was shocked.
Shen Xihe nodded: "Anyone with humanity will have awe for the dead and will not dig up people's graves easily. Only extremely vicious people who do not believe in ghosts and gods, do not fear ghosts and gods, and have no compassion for the living and the dead can do such a cruel thing!"
Last time, Bian Xianyi found a death row prisoner to deal with her, and Shen Xihe knew that someone had replaced these unforgivable people to continue doing evil. However, after Cui Jinbai investigated, he found that this was a common method used by the nobles, and the case was so widespread that His Majesty could only get angry at the court meeting and then ordered Cui Jinbai to conduct a strict investigation without imposing severe punishment.
Otherwise, if one person is punished, everyone will be implicated, and if the people knew about this, I don’t know what to think.
If such a thing happens in Kyoto, let alone in other places
"Oh oh, if that's true, there will be turmoil in the government and the country." Tao Cheng was so scared that his face turned pale.
If there is a problem at the local level, and it is not just a problem at one place, it will implicate the local officials of the entire court. To replace the heinous death row prisoners from the prison, only people from the government can do it!
Once confirmed, no one from top to bottom can escape responsibility.
It's like he was the governor, maybe there was no such thing in Linchuan County, but it happened in the counties under Linchuan County, so he couldn't escape blame.
"The law does not punish the masses, isn't that what you are sure of?" Shen Xihe snorted coldly, "My uncle should first send someone to secretly investigate whether there are such dirty acts in the counties under Linchuan County."
"My uncle will send someone to investigate right away." Tao Cheng attached great importance to this matter.
Shen Xihe immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Xiao Huayong, telling him the seriousness of the matter. This was really no less serious than the Rouge Case, and was even worse in nature.
Another question is, why would someone amass so much money? What is the purpose of amassing money? It is worth pondering.
When Xiao Huayong received Shen Xihe's letter, his smile faded a little. He never thought that he was not an ordinary tomb robber.
"Inform Cui Jinbai about this matter." Xiao Huayong twisted the black chess piece on his fingertips, "Let the law secretly assist in the investigation."
Tian Yuan agreed and said, "Your Highness, the county lord will change his route and return to the capital via Liyang County and Henan Prefecture."
"Yeah." This was within his expectations. Shen Xihe was already worried about Bu Shulin, and now she was even more worried. She had the guards brought from the Northwest and sent by His Majesty with her. When facing the most vicious criminals, others would have to walk around her. She also had the imperial gold medal on her, so even when facing local officials, they would not dare to bump into her.
Even so, Xiao Huayong still hoped that she would have a smooth journey, so he sent people to clear the roadblocks first.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing..." Tian Yuan bowed his head and said, "Wang Zheng fainted in Xiangguo Temple and was carried back to the palace. The people all know that he was repenting for offending Your Highness. Since he was able to leave the palace, he has been praying for Your Highness at Xiangguo Temple every day, and to show his sincerity, he has not eaten or drunk..."
