Chapter 408: Happy Events and Funerals(1/2)

Xing'an immediately understood the meaning of His Majesty's action of giving money to the members.

Li Xian survived because of himself. Li Xian, as the biggest fish in the Nanya dynasty, could survive and continue to dominate Nanya, which was something that most of the courtiers did not expect.

Li Xian made his arrangements very clearly, and he was a very understanding person, but the person who contacted him was Yu Niang. At that time, in Nanya, Li Xian was the only girl beside him, who could prove that he was devoted to the imperial court.

Lu Zhong hurriedly walked in, holding a memorial in his hand, hesitant to decide.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

"This is a decisive case." Lu Zhong put down the memorial, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there was a murder case in Guangningbo Street a few days ago."

Guangningbo Street was named after Guangningbo Liu Rong, and the current Guangningbo Liu An is the third son of Guangningbo.

Liu An also went to see Zhu Qizhen in Datong Mansion. Zhu Qizhen gave Guang Ningbo an imperial edict to make him a marquis. Liu An had no choice but to go to Beijing to plead guilty. Yu Qian asked Liu An to perform meritorious service for his crime. Liu An defended the capital in Jining and Hetao.

There are military exploits in every battle.

Now, together with Sun Boring, they are stationed in the Hetao area.

When Zhu Di was on tour in Yongle, he never delegated the power of capital punishment. The trio of capital punishments was one of the core powers of the emperor.

Without the emperor's approval, no death row prisoner would have been executed.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorial, read it for a long time, and inquired about some details.

It is a very simple murder case. It is also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty that Jinyiwei investigates and handles the murder case in the capital. Shuntianfu Yamen will assist in handling it.

A person died on Guang Ping Bo Street.

A very ordinary neighbor murder case.

There is a proverb circulated in the capital of the Ming Dynasty: "The east city is expensive, the west city is rich, Xuanwu is poor, and Chongwen is ruined."

In other words, most powerful people live in Dongcheng, most rich people live in Xicheng, poor people live in Xuanwu, and small businessmen and hawkers live in Chongwen.

Those who can live in Xicheng are wealthy families.

Mrs. Hao died. She was killed by Zhang Fugui for her habit of stealing.

Mrs. Hao's son was very ambitious and traveled all over the country to earn a lot of money. However, his grandson Hao Ren was not as successful as he was. Hao Ren had everything he could eat, drink, whore, and gamble.

But Mrs. Hao doted on her grandson and allowed him to enjoy himself.

Hao Ren's hedonistic life can be described as extravagant. In the Xiangxiang of Taibai Tower, he raised a family of seventeen-room prostitutes, leaving behind the reputation of Seventeen Lang in the capital.

But in this life full of five evils, Hao Ren's corruption did not bring any disaster to the Hao family.

The Hao family's business is getting bigger and bigger.

According to Jin Yiwei's estimate, Hao Ren could support 170 houses, let alone 17 houses, and it would not be a problem to support him for a thousand years.

If Hao Ren continues to live such an unscrupulous life, he will just end up as an ordinary second-generation luxury person squandering his family property.

Mrs. Hao is still alive, the entire Hao family's business flow is normal, and Hao Ren's five poisons are all in control, which will not affect the Hao family's wealth.

Hao Ren's little money for pleasure was not enough for Mrs. Hao to earn more from a trip to buy goods.

Hao Ren finally lost the Hao family's huge family fortune.

Because Hao Ren started investing under the instigation of some brokers and compradors!

Hao Ren no longer wants to be a person who hangs around and waits for death.

He wanted to inherit his father's legacy and do business in the north and south.

But these investments failed without exception.

The first investment was in the 14th year of Zhengtong. He invested in reselling firearms, arrow feathers and other items outside the Great Wall. Hao Ren was not very courageous, so the items he made were all ambiguous military supplies, such as iron pots with strange shapes, a large amount of salt and other items.

There is no doubt that after the Tumubao Incident, Ming Dynasty's border gates immediately began to impose martial law. In this attempted reselling, all the goods were confiscated by Tiqi. However, because there was no criminal goods, no goods were actually resold outside the Great Wall.

, Hao Ren escaped.

Hao Ren felt stable for a while, and soon the bastard checked out. He couldn't hold it any longer and started his second investment.

The silver was sent to Shanxi like running water, and he and his family were ready to get together and print salt!

Hao Ren spent about 120,000 taels of money, and his family was turned upside down.

Hao Ren's investment this time was defrauded.

To be precise, his money did not flow into the Qu family, otherwise Hao Ren would have become the executioner's target.

Specifically, Hao Ren was deceived when he invested in the Qu family.

His family's business is run by his family. How much does his family value these 120,000 taels of silver?

The economic comprador just deceived Hao Ren.

Mrs. Hao immediately grounded Hao Ren.

Hao Ren's third investment was Emperor Zhenwu's forgiveness of sins, which was selling indulgences in the Jining and Hetao areas in the name of Emperor Zhenwu. Yu Shaobao was aware of this business at the beginning, and Yu Shaobao took advantage of it.

Just catch all the fish in one catch.

Hao Ren's investment was all in vain. As his indulgence, he spent a lot of money to buy real talismans from Zhenwu Mountain in Xiangyang. He fished in Shaobao, but he caught a lot of big fish.

But Hao Ren's talisman is actually real. The talisman of Zhenwu Temple in Zhenwu Mountain, Xiangyang. The person who was in charge of the country at that time was King Xiang Zhu Zhanchang. When Zhu Zhanchang was handling the case, 10,000 people didn't believe it. The talisman selling sin-absolution and good deeds could still be sold as genuine.

The magic talisman is not working?

But that's true.

In the end, Zhu Zhanzhen had no choice but to realize that Hao Ren was indeed a good man, so in the end he just dismissed the matter as speculation and fined him.

Hao Ren's three consecutive investment failures brought disaster to his family. The Hao family in Guangningbo Street, Xicheng, suffered such a failure.

When the family was wealthy, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling was not a problem. Even the gambling venue was the Hao family's own property.

But after the family became dilapidated, Hao Ren's habits were hard to change, and the family became even more dilapidated.

Mrs. Hao died, she was accustomed to stealing Zhang Fugui. Seeing the misfortune of Mrs. Hao's family, she decided to get a jade pendant from Mrs. Hao.

When Zhang Fugui was stealing, he was discovered by Mrs. Hao. When Zhang Fugui failed to steal, he ran away and pushed Mrs. Hao to the ground.

Mrs. Hao died in her old age. Hao Ren reported it to the police. When the Jin Yiwei heard about the murder, they immediately searched the city and caught Zhang Fugui who didn't know he had killed someone.

Zhang Fugui killed someone, and according to the rules, he would die in exchange for his life.

Zhu Qiyu read the entire case file and found out that Zhang Fugui was a habitual criminal, and even Jin Yiwei had a criminal record against him.

To be able to keep a record in Jinyiwei, he is obviously a habitual thief, and this time he stole into the dilapidated Hao family.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Lu Zhong's expression and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Lu Zhong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, there is a problem with this matter. It is the core of the murder case, the jade pendant."

"Zhang Fugui admitted his guilt. He indeed pushed Mrs. Hao. When I checked, it was confirmed that she hit her head and died."

"But Zhang Fugui did not admit that he had stolen the jade pendant, and the jade pendant was found by the minister."

Lu Zhong took out the box of the jade pendant, opened it and placed it on the table. It had fallen into two pieces.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it for a long time. It was indeed a good thing, worth at least a hundred taels of silver. He closed the box and asked, "What are you doubting?"

Lu Zhong felt a little strange and whispered: "I have no evidence."

Zhang Fugui stole, and Mrs. Hao discovered that Zhang Fugui ran away. Mrs. Hao fell, and Zhang Fugui was arrested. Zhang Fugui confessed, but Zhang Fugui refused to admit that he stole the jade pendant.

The jade pendant is also broken now.

There are obviously still doubts about this case.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "The physical evidence, documentary evidence, and witness evidence are all here. Let's finish the review by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple first, and Tiqi will continue to investigate."

This is also a common practice. Jin Yiwei has done enough. Did Lu Zhong torture Hao Ren because of his suspicion?

Zhu Qiyu followed the usual practice and sent the case investigated by Tiqi to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for review.

Ke Qian, the number one scholar in the second year of Jingtai's reign, was working in the Ministry of Punishment.

Ke Qian is a member of the military. This was the first time he received a case while working in the criminal department. He sorted it out carefully, discovered the suspicious points of the case, and continued to investigate.

Soon, there were new developments in the case.

A pawn shop owner was interrogated because the jade pendant worth a hundred taels was abandoned by the owner and was pawned by Hao Ren.

However, the Jinyi Guards were all over the city investigating the case, and the boss got scared and threw away the jade pendant.

Ke Qian then made a secret visit and discovered a new suspicion, that is, the neighbors often heard the quarrels between Hao Hao's wife scolding Hao Ren after the Hao family was ruined.

On the day of the murder, there were also quarrels.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple quickly found out another part of the case, that is, after Zhang Fugui pushed Mrs. Hao down, Mrs. Hao was not dead. It was Hao Ren who wanted to gamble but had no money, so he quarreled with Mrs. Hao.

When the quarrel got fierce, Hao Ren pushed Mrs. Hao, and Mrs. Hao died.

This case, after the second investigation, finally came to light.

When Zhu Qiyu's incident ended here, the Jinyiwei Yamen, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple worked together to clear up the unjust case, and Ke Qian, the new champion of science, proved that he was not a person who studied hard and studied hard.

Everyone was happy when they got here.

But this case soon caused an uproar in the court, and the memorial to impeach Lu Zhong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, flew into the cabinet like snowflakes.
