Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Meng Zhixing said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Wang Jixun lived here for a long time before he came here, and he was supplied by a special person, and he also used fetuses to refine elixir."

"□□?" Defang is very familiar with this place

"Yes, □□, I heard that Wang Jixun had a close relationship with the former prefect Zhang Mingfeng, and I suspect that the former prefect is also related to this matter."

"Zhang Mingfeng!" Defang was furious when she heard this name. At that time, Defang was ordered to build a military town, but Zhang Mingfeng was almost killed by Zhang Mingfeng, and this person was beaten to death by Defang with a golden mace on the Golden Palace.

"My lord, back then Zhang Mingfeng died under his golden mace, and his crimes were also found out by the lord, but I wonder if the lord found out anything about Wang Jixun?"

"That's not true. If there had been such a clue at that time, the king would have dealt with it long ago."

"Yes, but the lower official is just looking at it now, and there is no actual evidence. Moreover, although he has no official position, he is also a relative of the state. The previous emperor pardoned his crimes. I am afraid that even if the lower official finds evidence, there is nothing he can do."

"Your Majesty Meng, don't worry about this. If there is any evidence to prove such a horrific thing, this king will definitely tell His Majesty, and he will be punished no matter what."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Suddenly Defang thought of something "□□... Zhang Mingfeng..."

"Did your lord think of anything?" Meng Zhixing asked

"When I investigated Zhang Mingfeng in private, there was one thing that I always thought was very strange, and I couldn't understand it. Now that I think about it, it may be related to this matter."

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"The king remembers that Zhang Mingfeng had several private houses at that time, and a large number of account books, tributes and silver were found out, but there was only one house, which was very strange. A pregnant woman ran out before and took the king there. Everyone in the nursing home wanted to kill the king. The king remembered that the main room in the house was tightly sealed, and there was a big furnace in the middle. Something was burning, and the smell was extremely strange. A pregnant woman was found in the side room. Wang took two women to question Zhang Mingfeng, but they didn't find anything out, and later, because of other cases, this matter was not investigated further."

Meng Zhixing thought for a while, "I heard the description of the prince, but it is possible, so I need to send someone to investigate now."

"No, wouldn't it be difficult to explain if Lord Meng sent someone to investigate the old case at this time?"

"Then how to obtain evidence in this case?" Meng Zhixing was very helpless

"Master Meng, don't worry. The prefect Li Xuewen, the school lieutenant Li Xuezheng, and the household administrator Li Xuedao were all rescued by this king. I will send someone to send a letter to the past. I will also draw the picture of the house at that time. I believe it will be soon. there will be results"

Meng Zhixing was very happy, "Then I will thank you, Lord Lao!"

"Well, but I have to go back to Beijing to return to my order first. When there is a result of this matter, I will report to His Majesty immediately."

"Yes, I will obey the prince's order in everything."

On the second day, Defang repaired a letter, which made people rush to Beijing, and he returned to the capital. Li Xuewen, the magistrate of Wuhan, received Defang's letter and immediately launched an investigation. Sure enough, the burned bones were found, and the bones of many women were dug out from the courtyard. The person who made the elixir was searched and captured. Li Xuewen wrote down the situation in detail and sent them back to the capital urgently.

After Defang got the report, he immediately went to the palace to see him. At this time, Taizong was reviewing the memorial in Chongzheng Hall.
