The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 299 Causes of Death
"Master Liu, I heard that the Ci'an Bureau froze to death. What's going on? When you were collecting donations before, you said that the Ci'an Bureau was built to prevent people from being frozen to death. We donated money because of this. , but now that the Ci’an Bureau has come out with such things, I’m afraid we have to doubt your true intentions in building the Ci’an Bureau, right?”

The person speaking is a fat man, and looks like a rich fat man.

Liu Wei glanced at him and showed a sneer. The fat man couldn't help but shivered when he saw Liu Wei's sneer. All along, few people could see Liu Wei's sneer, and that sneer made him suddenly feel uneasy.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Fatty's heart jumped up, he didn't understand why Liu Wei wanted to ask him, he just wanted to express everyone's thoughts, he felt that Liu Wei was trying to threaten him.

He wanted to retreat, but after thinking about it, he felt that he would be weak if he retreated, so he puffed out his chest and said, "Ye Fei."

Liu Wei nodded, as if remembering him.

"The court set up the Ci'an Bureau to prevent people from freezing to death, but in many cases, who can guarantee many things? Ye Fei, right? You should be a rich man from the looks of your clothes. I don't know if you are so rich. Suddenly one day, he died inexplicably?"

"You... are you threatening me?"

Liu Wei smiled coldly: "I have no leisure to threaten you. I just want you to know that no matter how well-equipped the Ci'an Bureau is, people are born, old, sick, and dying. It's not that we won't let him die." not die."

Ye Fei looked at Liu Wei, and didn't know what to say for a while, but the people who came here to make troubles also changed their attitudes. They felt that what Liu Wei said was very reasonable, life and death are fate, could it be said that those people entered Won't the Ci'an Bureau die?
Just when everyone expressed their support for Liu Wei's point of view, another person stood up and said: "Master Liu is really eloquent. Although people have misfortunes and fortunes, we all heard that that person died of freezing. Since you are here If there were enough clothes, why would he still freeze to death? We suspect that the Civil Security Bureau did not give these people enough food and clothing as they said at the beginning, and it is not necessarily true that you may have embezzled the donations, do you think so? "

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what this person said was also reasonable. If the deceased died of other reasons, it would be reasonable, but now the whole capital is rumored that the person was frozen to death. Since the Ci'an Bureau has enough clothes, why not Can people freeze to death?

Everyone looked at Liu Wei, hoping that Liu Wei could give everyone a reasonable explanation.

Liu Wei was not in a hurry, looked at the person who stood up just now and said, "What's your name?"

"Is it important what my name is? We're just here to seek justice."

Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said coldly, "What's your name?"

The man froze for a moment, and shivered all over. He didn't know if it was because Liu Wei's words were too cold, or because the weather was too cold.

"Say."

Liu Wei glared at the man, seemingly unforgiving.

The man's hands trembled a little, he didn't realize that Liu Wei's aura was so strong, even he himself didn't believe that he would suddenly feel fear because of Liu Wei's eyes and words.

"Lu...Lu Wei."

Liu Wei nodded, then ignored Lu Wei, just looked at the crowd and said, "The dead didn't freeze to death."

The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

"Didn't you freeze to death?"

"But there are rumors in the capital that the man died of freezing?"

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head: "The name of the deceased was Sun Nu. He died around noon today. It was only an hour away from now. Don't you find it strange that the news spread throughout the capital in an hour?"

The people looked at each other, they didn't seem to understand the meaning of Liu Wei's words, and they seemed to hear something.

"Someone is manipulating this matter behind the scenes. The purpose may be to oppose the Ci'an Bureau. Otherwise, the news would not have spread so quickly."

When Liu Wei explained the matter clearly enough, everyone finally understood.

"Someone wants to frame the Ci'an Bureau, what is the intention of that person?"

"Yeah, doesn't it mean he can't get used to such kind deeds?"

When everyone was discussing, they cast their eyes on Ye Fei and Lu Wei, as if they were the ones who reported this matter, and they were also looking for this matter.

Ye Fei and Lu Wei were a little anxious. Although the weather was cold, sweat still flowed from their foreheads.

The wind in front of the Ci'an Bureau was very cold, and everyone talked a lot. After Ye Fei and Lu Wei looked at each other, Lu Wei suddenly sneered and said, "It's ridiculous, Mr. Liu is really good at telling stories. Didn't the grandson freeze to death?" How did he die? No matter how he died, you, the Ci’an Bureau, are responsible.”

Liu Wei smiled slightly: "He didn't freeze to death, but died of a sudden illness." Speaking of this, Liu Wei waved his hand slightly: "Come here, bring up Sun Nu's body."

The two guards took the order and quickly carried Sun Nu's body.

After the corpse was brought up, Liu Wei pointed to the corpse and said: "The frozen person's complexion is sallow, there is spittle in the mouth, his teeth are stiff, his body is stiff, his hands are clasped to his chest, and his clothes must be thin, but everyone, please look at this corpse, The deceased had quite a lot of clothes on his body when he died, and his hands were outstretched, as if he was struggling. This is not the performance of a person dying of freezing. The most important thing is that the deceased's face was purple and his muscles were not sunken. This is clearly a sudden death. symptom."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and said, "The dead did not freeze to death."

The people already understood what was going on at this time, so they turned their attention to Ye Fei and Lu Wei.

"Tell me, what do you two have in mind? Why do you say that Sun Nu died of freezing?"

"The two of you seem to be rich at first glance. How could you know the cause of Sun Nu's death in Ci'an Bureau?"

"What conspiracy do you two have?"

All the people were gearing up while questioning them, as if they were going to fight with them, and they were completely scared at this moment.

"I... I also heard people say it."

"Forgive me, this matter really has nothing to do with the two of us."

When the two of them said this, a commoner snorted coldly: "Nonsense, if you just heard people say it, why are you so excited, as if you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic?"

"Lord Liu, we suggest that the two of them be sent to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation."

At this time, Liu Wei had already grasped the initiative. He looked at Ye Fei and Lu Wei, and asked lightly: "Someone wants to frame the Ci'an Bureau and want to make the refugees of the Song Dynasty restless. The two are now taking the lead in opposing the Ci'an Bureau. I have to make people doubt your intentions."

The two suddenly knelt down to Liu Wei.

"Forgive me, Master Liu, please forgive me, this matter really has nothing to do with us..."

"We... we really only heard about it, and then we were angry because we donated a lot of money before, so we came to make trouble, my lord, please forgive me..."

Liu Wei shrugged: "It's not clear whether the matter is really as you said, so please bother you to go to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion for a few days."

After finishing speaking, after Liu Wei waved, several guards came and took the two of them away.

After returning to the mansion, Zhugepi hurried over: "My lord, I heard that the person from the Ci'an Bureau died suddenly?"

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head: "No, he died of poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Zhuge Pi was a little surprised. Since he died of poisoning, why did Liu Wei say that he died suddenly?
Zhuge Pi couldn't understand it, so he looked at Liu Wei and wondered what was going on.

"Whether it is death from freezing or poisoning, it is not a good thing for the Ci'an Bureau, but the poison that Sun Nu suffered is very strange, similar to the symptoms of sudden death. In order to ensure that the Ci'an Bureau will not be affected, I have to first Said it was a sudden death, and then look for an opportunity to find the person who poisoned him."

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Zhuge Pi understood.

"I don't know what the adults want to do?"

"I have ordered people to monitor the people who live in the same room with Sun Nu. I believe that the murderer must be among them, and they must have been instructed by others. Otherwise, the news could not have spread so quickly. Poison is really rare."

As Liu Wei said, he couldn't help sighing. He didn't understand who would dislike the Ci'an Bureau so much. The Ci'an Bureau was just a place provided by the imperial court for the homeless people in the capital, and it didn't cause any trouble. To whom?
Moreover, it is not a good thing for the people of the entire capital to lose these people begging on the street, isn't it?

That person was dissatisfied with the Ci'an Bureau, which is really incomprehensible. When Liu Wei thought this way, he suddenly frowned. He felt that it was not that person who was dissatisfied with the Ci'an Bureau, but he was probably dissatisfied with himself.

Did I offend anyone in the capital?
Liu Wei thought about it carefully, and felt that it was normal for him to offend others in the capital. First of all, it wasn't that Pan Mei hated him deeply, but his previous limelight was enough to be hated by many people.

Some people deal with the Ci'an Bureau to deal with themselves?
When Liu Wei realized this, he was very angry, because that person let an innocent person lose his life in order to deal with him. What is the difference between this behavior and human life?
Liu Wei held the teacup tightly, and he swore in his heart that he would never let the people behind him feel better.

And just when Liu Wei was thinking this way, a guard rushed to report that someone had come to the palace.

The eunuch came from the palace, his cheeks were very red when he entered the living room, obviously he left in a hurry and was blown by the wind.

"Master Liu, the Holy Majesty has declared you to enter the palace."

Liu Wei nodded, and said: "I don't know if my eunuch knows why the Holy Majesty declared me to enter the palace?"

"This matter, the old slave can't say well, but before the Holy Majesty announced you into the palace, Master Lu Duosun Lu met with the Holy Majesty first, and the two talked for a long time in the imperial study. The Emperor announced you into the palace, It should be for this."

Ludorson?There was a sneer at the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and then he nodded: "We will enter the palace right away, please, father-in-law."
