Chapter 21 The Origin of the Case
Mu Shen pushed back to Yun Mohan's side with a light push.
At the same time, he also imposed the responsibility on him.
The key to breaking the deadlock is on him. Whether he wants to or does not want to, he has to go this trip.
Otherwise, after returning to the capital, his Majesty asked about this matter, he would not be able to explain it.
I don’t know if it was threatened or because I felt relieved after getting the affirmative answer. After thinking for a moment, Yun Mohan responded: “Okay, then we will meet at the door early tomorrow morning and go together.”
"His Highness Xie Yu is considerate." He bowed respectfully to Yun Mohan, and Mu Shen stepped back.
After his figure disappeared, Yun Mohan turned his eyes to Cen Yuwei again: "Now, the actions of King Han have fulfilled your wishes. What are your plans next? It should be more than just following him aimlessly to investigate the case, right?"
"Of course not." Before he continued his previous search, Cen Yuwei silently skipped the matter and told him about tomorrow's plan. "Tomorrow, you should first recall the clues you found in Fuyuan Temple, and then... let's take Chu Qingzhu to a place to take a look."
“Where?”
"Li Village." Cen Yuwei pointed her fingertips and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember the cause of this case and where you went to Fuyuan Temple?"
"What you mean is...even if we don't get anything in Fuyuan Temple, we may be able to rediscover clues in Li Village?" Yun Mohan suddenly realized.
Regarding the case, he had learned about it from the mouths of the few people around him.
The case of Chengping County is strictly speaking not a major case. To put it bluntly, this is actually a case of local officials greedy for official repairs.
However, the situation in the case developed tortuously and included Zhang Wanmin's book, which was presented to the current sage.
At first, an ordinary villager in Li Village brought a letter from Wanmin to Beijing to sue the officials of Chengping County for corrupt officials. Not only did they sue them for bribery and randomly recruiting people to serve, but they also sued them for not paying wages after serving the villagers.
This matter involves a large number of people, and Kyoto officials dare not neglect them.
After learning about the whole story with the villagers who reported the case, he arranged for someone to rest in the inn for a while, and at the same time, he sent officials to investigate.
But this investigation found new problems.
The local area is prosperous, and the people in the village are all at peace. After asking questions, no one admits that there is a story about the book of the people.
This ending was unexpected by Kyoto officials. After staying for a few days, they didn't find anything abnormal, so they returned to Beijing with full of doubts.
Logically speaking, when things come to this point, it should be the problem of the reporter.
Kyoto officials all suspected that he had filed a false case for personal grudges or other interests, so they arrested the person from the inn and interrogated him.
But when they arrived at the inn, they found that the reporter who had temporarily lived in the inn had hanged himself in the inn. At the time of his death, he left a letter of regret.
The letter in the letter was roughly because he had a personal grudge with the officials of Chengping County and wanted to take revenge on them, so he forged the Wanmin Book and reported the case to Beijing.
However, he did not expect that the high officials in the capital would attach so much importance to this matter, so he sent someone to investigate. He was extremely uneasy and was afraid that the truth would be revealed and he went to jail for life, so he simply hanged himself to apologize.
