The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"I guess you're awake, so I need to use something first."

Yun Niang pushed open the door of Li Yi's study and placed the stewed chicken soup on the table nearby.

"I've made you tired again." Li Yi got up and walked over.

Yun Niang smiled and said, "This little girl can't compare to your boss's hard work day and night."

Yun Niang filled the soup and served it to Li Yi.

"The eye sockets are deep." Looking at Li Yi, Yun Niang touched it with her fingers, feeling distressed.

Since the day when the Confucian Temple collapsed, every time she got up at night, she would come over and take a look. The lights in Li Yi's room had never been extinguished.

In the past few days, he probably didn't sleep for three hours.

It's almost dawn, so I'll take a nap.

Li Yi finished the soup in a few mouthfuls and sat down on the couch with Yun Niang.

"I heard that in the past two days, the threshold of our house will be broken through."

"You come back late at night. If they can't ask for you, they can only come to me." Yun Niang sighed.

This fraud case can be said to be the most widely implicated since the founding of Chu State.

First, it was the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and then everyone was held responsible. Those who were on the list because of their connections were all sent to prison.

Anyone who is even remotely suspected of this case will inevitably end up in the Criminal Department, Dongwei, or Duchasi.

In such a large-scale arrest, it is difficult to count the number of relatives.

Li Yi is now in charge of the Criminal Department. If they want to fish him out, they have to find Yun Niang.

Seeing their desperate and sobbing looks, Yun Niang felt sad.

Although there are innocent people in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the number of people who accept bribes and operate from them is definitely not that many.

If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it, but if you do evil by yourself, you will not be able to live!

People always have to bear the consequences of what they do.

Not to mention that Li Yi didn't have that much power, even if he did, Yun Niang would never let him cover up and deceive.

"I'll ask someone to close the door tomorrow so that they won't disturb you."

"If they want to get people through me, if they can, they will dig out Marshal Su and Mrs. Su."

This kind of major case attracted the attention of the whole country, and the emperor did not dare to protect anyone. He had several lives to cut off.

This group of people are now seeking medical treatment indiscriminately.

Just stay at home and wait for the news.

Those who participate can't run, and those who don't participate can't even jump.

It's so conspicuous. If you have some kind of understanding, do you think the emperor will give you a special clarification? No, it was wiped out with a knife.

It saves trouble and there will be no doubts.

Maybe they all praise the emperor for being great.

This is an unjust death. The resentment pouring out from the hearts of scholars in Chu State will definitely scold you for hundreds of years.

After stroking Yun Niang's hair, Li Yi put his hand on his head.

"Madam, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the butcher's knife will fall again, and the emperor will inevitably use thunderous means to appease people's hearts."

"Some people really deserve to be killed, but some are just implicated and not involved."

"I don't want them to die innocently in my hands."

"Only if it is proven that they have nothing to do with this case, the knife hanging on their necks will not fall."

"I have moved the people to the suburbs. There may be a few of them who are not quite innocent, but it doesn't matter. I will find them one by one. At dawn tomorrow, I will enter the palace before the imperial edict is issued."

The more Li Yi talked, the lower his voice became. When Yun Niang turned around to look, he was already asleep.

Maintaining this posture, Yun Niang did not move. Once she woke up, Li Yi would definitely not sleep again.

Let him rest for a while.

After only a quarter of an hour, Li Yi woke up, turned his head to look at the sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's still some time before dawn." Yun Niang put her hand on Li Yi's forehead, massaged him, and said softly.

"I will check the people involved in the case again. Then, wait at the palace gate to avoid any delays."

"Go back and have a rest, I won't see you off." Li Yi lowered his head and kissed Yun Niang on her forehead, and took a coat to put on Yun Niang, "It's cold outside, don't worry about me all the time. When you finish all these things, Let’s go swim in the lake and relax.”

Yun Niang nodded lightly, put away the soup bowl, looked back at Li Yi, and left with very light steps.

After arranging the writing bags on the desk one by one, Li Yichang took out a long breath. As soon as the butcher knife fell, the heads rolled.

He respects life, so he will try his best to free innocent people, but for those who are really involved, forgive him for not loving enough.

In the carriage, Li Yi rubbed his forehead. In the past few days, everyone's thoughts were on investigating the people involved in the scientific examination fraud case, but they had ignored the murderer who poisoned Wai Lang, a member of the etiquette department.

After carefully reviewing the series of things that happened after Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, was poisoned and died, Li Yi tried to lock in a scope.

After the fraud case is revealed, who will benefit the most?

If it was done by the left prime minister, then there is no doubt that the right prime minister will benefit the most.

On the contrary, the leftist prime minister will benefit the most.

But it is not ruled out that some people are seeking positions for themselves.

We have to let the Imperial Guard investigate secretly.

As soon as the palace door opened, Li Yi asked Xiang Wuwei to pass a message inside and wait for the emperor to summon him.

It was obvious that the emperor had not slept well in the past two days. After waiting for less than half an hour, Li Yi was taken in.

"Your Majesty, these are the people who have been identified and are indeed involved in the scientific examination fraud case." Li Yi held the book in his hand, and a eunuch immediately came over and presented it to the emperor.

After opening it and taking a look, the emperor snorted, "It's enough to eat the emperor's salary and not worry about the emperor. How dare they! One by one, I have nothing to do with it!"

"If you pass the decree, all the people will be cut in half, their property will be confiscated, and no one from the three clans will be allowed to serve in official positions." The emperor said coldly.

Li Yi lowered his eyes and waited for the emperor to vent his anger before bowing and retreating.

I don’t know when this massacre will stop.

A small batch today, a large batch tomorrow, radish with puree, endless.

Except for Jian'an, this is also true in other places.

There are rows of people, and houses can be built.

"Uncle, I want you to go there."

At the gate of the palace, the people around Sheng's father saw Li Yi coming out and greeted him.

If my father-in-law is looking for him, he must go there.

Today, Sheng's father took a break and Li Yi went directly to the Sheng Mansion.

"father in law."

As soon as he entered the study, Li Yi smiled and saluted.

"Stop being rigid and sit down." Father Sheng put down his pen and asked Li Yi to sit down.

"I didn't expect that the emperor would hand over this major case to you for review."

"Jian'er, the water is very deep here, and you haven't reached in yet."

"Once the black hand behind it is involved, you won't be able to bear it."

"I didn't even look at the old guy who was the Minister of Punishment, he shrank."

"Father-in-law knows who is behind all this?" Li Yi asked in surprise, his heart twitching. He was a member of the household department, so he wouldn't be involved in this matter!

Damn it, what the hell are you going to do!

Li Yi's heartbeat accelerated.

"It's just those few. Otherwise, they would have been exposed from the beginning, and how could they have been covered up until now."

"That's it." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and sent his father-in-law to be chopped in half. This was so righteous, he couldn't bear it!
