Chapter 48
Going to the capital is at the feet of the emperor.

To become the magistrate of Shangjing City, one must not only have ability, but also be loyal enough to the emperor.

At least, Emperor Taifeng believed that the magistrate of the upper capital whom he had handpicked was absolutely loyal to him.

But now, the prefect is dead!

"Are you sure it was suicide?"

Emperor Taifeng did not think that the magistrate would choose to commit suicide.

But the news that came was indeed that the magistrate of Shangjing City committed suicide and left a memorial before his death.

"Bring it up!"

Emperor Taifeng wanted to see what kind of memorial would be left behind by his hand-picked prefect after his own death.

The memorial is very long, enough to contain tens of thousands of words.

Emperor Taifeng looked very slowly, the more he looked, the tighter his frown became.

In the end, Gao Zhen could feel Emperor Taifeng's anger rising.

"Damn!"

"Infidelity!"

"I want to destroy the other three clans!"

After reading the memorial, Emperor Taifeng slammed the memorial to the ground.

Gao Zhen stood by and didn't say a word.

The current him is a wood carving and stone sculpture. If the emperor doesn't call him, he will never intervene without authorization.

After a long time, Emperor Taifeng looked at Gao Zhen, and said slowly: "Gao Zhen, you go, pass on my order, order the Ministry of Punishment to join the Procuratorate, and investigate this case thoroughly for me!"

"My ministers, you can't die without knowing it!"

"According to the order!"

Obtaining Emperor Taifeng's will, Gao Zhen left Qianji Hall quickly.

The magistrate of Shangjing committed suicide?

Who believes?

Emperor Taifeng was indeed angry, but after being angry, he realized that something was wrong.

If this person really wanted to commit suicide, why did he leave such a long memorial?
Loyal to the country?

Emperor Taifeng never believed it.

He wasn't so stupefied that he needed a senior official from the third rank to use his life to wake him up.

Therefore, there is definitely a problem with this suicide case.

Someone killed his loyal minister!
……

Changlehou Mansion.

Rong Chan also heard the news from Bi He.

When she heard that the magistrate of Shangjing committed suicide and hanged himself in the lobby of the magistrate's yamen, she was really a little dazed.

In his previous life, the magistrate of Shangjing City had always been a prosperous official. It took only a few years to enter the cabinet and became a cabinet minister that Emperor Taifeng relied heavily on.

But this life has just begun, and this person committed suicide!
Anyway, Rong Chan didn't believe it.

"Miss, do you think this magistrate is stupid?"

"Why can't he think about it?"

"I heard that he wrote a Wanyan Memorial before he died!"

Bi He sat next to Rong Chan, resting her chin on her hands, with a thoughtful expression.

"Bihe, can you tell me where you heard about this?"

Rong Chan was suddenly curious.

This girl Bihe is very well informed.

"Listen to people!"

Bi He chuckled, "I go to the kitchen every day and chat with the people there, they know a lot."

"Miss, did I do something wrong again?"

"Not at all!"

"I found out that you can change your name to Baodao in the future!"

"What, it's so ugly!"

Bi He curled her lips, "Don't ask me, maidservant!"

"Miss, I heard that the emperor is very angry. He thinks someone killed the magistrate of Shangjing, so let's make a thorough investigation!"

"Do you think Madam will be involved?"

"Who knows!"

Rong Chan really didn't know how to answer this question.

"However, I guess, there is a high probability that it will be involved!"

"This case may implicate many people!"

Having been the champion Mrs. Hou for 20 years, Rong Chan still understands certain things very well.

Sometimes the truth doesn't matter.

What matters is what the emperor wants.

Of course, sometimes, if the emperor doesn't want what he wants, he will definitely get what he wants.
