The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 361 Violent Corpse
The great eunuch Yan Ruxian died and was hanged from the beam.

By the time the guards found out, his body was already stiff.

The news reached the emperor's ears during the morning court. After hearing this, the emperor slapped his palm on the dragon chair and said angrily:
"To die out of fear of sin is to die unjustly."

All civil and military officials were so frightened that they did not dare to speak, only a trace of suspicion arose in their hearts.

Yan Ruxian was detained in the palace. There must be eunuchs or guards keeping an eye on him. Why was he hanged?
Should the Chunwei fraud case be investigated further?

"His Majesty."

Lu Shi took a step forward, "Even though the person is dead, the crime still exists. What I want to present is the evidence of Yan Ruxian's adultery in the harem."

Emperor Yonghe's face turned livid.

The civil and military officials didn't even dare to breathe, and they all wished they had a hole in the ground to burrow into. This scene was so embarrassing.

"Lord Lu."

Emperor Yonghe said in a deep voice: "I don't need you to worry about my harem."

"If it were just a matter of His Majesty's harem, I would never dare to say a word."

Lu Shi said slowly: "But the harem is connected to the former dynasty. This woman has already put her hands into the affairs of our country, Great China. I hope your majesty will investigate!"

Emperor Yonghe's hand, which he placed on the dragon chair, had several veins popping out.

"Who is this woman?"

"Concubine Li."

Four words, everyone in the house was shocked.

Li Fei is the youngest daughter of Li Xing, the former Minister of Rites. It is said that she is very charming, otherwise the emperor would not have given her the word "Li".

Concubine Li had been in the palace for many years. Although she was not the most favored by the emperor and had not given birth to a son or a half, the emperor would always visit Concubine Li's palace for one or two days in a month.

It would be hard to believe that Yan Ruxian's contribution was not responsible for this.

Concubine Li's two brothers, Li Xing's two legitimate sons, were both officials in the south. Their official positions were not small, and they were both very successful.

It is said that Li Xing retired from old age and returned to his hometown early to make way for the career of his two sons.

Emperor Yonghe suddenly tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers, "Tell me, how did Concubine Li reach my front?"

"Empress Li, together with Li Xing and Li Xing's two legitimate sons, bought and sold officials!"

Lu Shi took out a stack of paper from his arms and said, "This is the evidence collected by me. Your Majesty, please take a look."

The chamberlain Qin Qi immediately ran to Lu Shi, took the stack of paper, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor didn't even look at it. He waved his hand vigorously and the paper fell to the floor.

Qin Qi didn't pick it up, nor did he pick it up. He only dared to lower his head, carefully raised his face, and paid attention to the expression on the emperor's face.

What other expression could there be on Emperor Yonghe's face?

There is only one anger.

One is an old slave who has served him for decades, and the other is his pillow. They are both his closest relatives!

Emperor Yonghe sneered: "Prince."

Prince Zhao Yanluo took a step forward, "Is your minister here?"

"Check, let me get to the bottom of it."

Emperor Yonghe's eyes were red, "No matter who is found, they will be severely punished."

Zhao Yanluo: "I obey the order."

"Master Feng."

"The minister is here."

"How many days will it take for Li Xing to be escorted to Beijing?"

"Up to five days."

"Publish my decree and you must enter the capital in three days."

Feng Changxiu looked up in shock and glanced at the emperor, "My lord, I obey the order."

"Your Majesty is a wise king!"

Lu Shi suddenly fell to his knees and leaned towards the emperor.

When all the officials saw this situation, they all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Yonghe sat upright and looked at Lu Shi with a slightly gloomy look. After a long while, he said: "Come here, help the old man up."

"His Majesty."

Before anyone could help him, Lu Shi had already straightened up, "I have one more thing to say."

Emperor Yonghe's lips curled up slightly: "Sir, please speak." "The crimes committed by the serious thief are not enough to make the common people angry. Now that he died out of fear of crime, I suggest that his body be hung on the city gate to be exposed to the sun for three days." The moon, firstly, comforts the students all over the world, and secondly, it also sounds the alarm to all civil and military officials."

All civil and military officials felt their livers tremble when they heard this, but Emperor Yonghe didn't even move his eyebrows, he just looked at Lu Shi deeply.

"Old Censor, this suggestion is very good. Come and tell me my will..."

……

"what?"

Li Buyan almost fell out of his mouth with a mouthful of shepherd's purse wontons. He quickly swallowed it whole and stretched his neck.

"Yan Ruxian is dead? How did he die?"

"Hang from the beam."

Zhu Qing: "The emperor ordered the corpses to be hung on the city gate to be exposed to the sun for three months. There will be a huge crowd at the city gate, and the third master has rushed to maintain order. Miss Yan, I am chasing the third master."

"Wait."

Yan Sanhe stopped him: "Don't say anything, let's go take a look."

Zhu Qing seemed to have expected it, "It's okay for the girl to go. The third master told Miss Li to follow her every step of the way. No one's life is as important as the girl's life."

"Cough cough cough..."

Yan Sanhe choked a mouthful of wonton soup into his throat and coughed violently.

……

The gate of the city was really crowded with people, even more lively than during a festival, forcing the troops of the five cities to have to send one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.

"Bah, you dog!"

"Dog eunuch, have a good death!"

"Which heroic man will take off his pants and let us see what ability this damn eunuch has to have three wives and four concubines?"

When the guards guarding the city gate heard this, they quickly glared and scolded: "Everyone, stand down."

"If you don't pick it up, I'll smash it."

"Smash him!"

"I'll smash you to death, you damn eunuch!"

Stones, mud, and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at the corpse...

Seeing this scene, Li Buyan shook his head and said, "What's the use of being a noble person and having three wives and four concubines during your lifetime? It's not like you have to die a good death."

Zhu Qing nodded, "It's been three months and it will be dry."

Yan Sanhe was a little confused.

It is said that the dead are the most important, but Yan Ruxian was also the number one eunuch in the dynasty. The emperor did not let him go to jail before, so why did he let him die on the street now?
"Who suggested hanging this body on the city wall?"

"It's the old censor."

Yan Sanhe turned around.

Xie Zhifei didn't know when he stood behind her with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a military officer's official robe, which made him very tall and majestic.

The man took a step forward, tilted his head toward her, and whispered, "Do you feel like I won't stop until you die?"

"Have!"

Murder is just a no-brainer.

No matter what Yan Ruxian is, he is still a person who once served the old emperor. If you don't look at the monk's face, you must look at the Buddha's face.

After three months of exposing corpses, the people were happy, but whether the emperor was happy or not, didn't Lu Shi think about it?

What good will it do him if he has lost his way?

After a night of heavy rain, the sky was exceptionally clear.

Yan Sanhe looked up and suddenly said: "I have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never seen whether the palace is square or round."

Xie Zhifei's scalp suddenly exploded, and his palms broke into cold sweat.

See what see?

The morning meeting had not yet ended, and it was obvious that they were waiting for Lu Shi.

Yan Sanhe turned around and looked at him quietly, "Can I go take a look, Third Master?"

The voice was low and soft, with just the right amount of tenderness. Xie Zhifei's heart swayed, making him a little overwhelmed.

"I just went to see it and didn't do anything."

Xie Zhifei: "..."
