After being stunned for a moment, everyone reacted and quickly asked, "How did he die?"

Especially Han Yu, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

What kind of thing is this? If I hand over these interrogation files, coupled with Zou Yuanbiao's death, what will become of me?

Maybe the hat of a cruel official will be put on your head. This is called disaster from the sky!

The Jinyiwei who came to report the news lay on the ground, his face mournful, and said quickly, "We don't know either. Zou Yuanbiao was fine this morning, eating and drinking. When we went over just now, we found him dead inside."

He almost cried when he said this.

In fact, in the Jinyiwei prison, the death of a few people is not a big deal. Not to mention the Jinyiwei prison, there are always people dying in prisons all over the country.

Death is not a big deal nowadays, but it is important to note who died and when.

If he had died a few days ago, the matter would have been much less serious. But how can we explain his death right now, during the trial?

"Go and take a look," Han Yu ordered hurriedly, and at the same time, he said to the clerk, "All files are sealed. No one is allowed to see them without my permission."

As he spoke, Han Yu turned to look at Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong standing aside, and said sternly, "You two, if your people dare to touch the files, you will bear the consequences."

Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong waved their hands hastily. It's already this late, they'd be foolish to touch the files.

Whoever touches the files is guilty. Who would make such a mistake at this time? If His Majesty knew about this, wouldn't he kill everyone?

I just said nothing and went to see the dead body.

The group hurried out of the hall and headed straight for the Jinyiwei prison.

When everyone arrived at the dark and cold imperial prison, nothing had been touched. Apparently, no one dared to intervene in this matter. All the officials were waiting for the arrival of these important people.

When they saw Han Yu and the other two arrive, everyone stepped aside.

Han Yu, Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong entered the imperial prison and came to the cell. The first thing they saw was Zou Yuanbiao lying there with his head tilted.

Zou Yuanbiao's face was a lifeless, sallow color, and it looked like he had been dead for a while.

Han Yu and the other two's faces turned dark instantly. This time they couldn't explain themselves clearly.

"Find out how he died." Wei Zhongxian flicked the whisk in his hand and said in a bad tone.

Han Yu and Luo Sigong naturally would not object.

Soon, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang people came and examined Zou Yuanbiao's body in batches. Finally, they came to a preliminary conclusion that Zou Yuanbiao did not die of poisoning or trauma.

"Lord Zou has no knife wounds on his body, no signs of cutting his veins, and no signs of biting his tongue. Judging from the current situation, he must have died of some sudden illness." The coroner from the East Factory said slowly.

"My Lords, Lord Zou is over 70 years old and has always been weak. He has been tossed around in the cell for days. I'm afraid he can't hold on any longer." The coroner said with some embarrassment and stood aside.

Luo Sigong glanced at the Jinyiwei and signaled him to speak too.

It was impossible to shirk responsibility at this point, so the Jinyiwei officer in charge of examining the body spoke up, "That's indeed the case. I suspect he died of illness. A cold could kill a man of his age, let alone in a cell like this."

Hearing this, Luo Sigong waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him directly.

This kind of subordinate should be dragged out and chopped off. What does it mean to be in a cell like this?

What's wrong with the Jinyiwei cell? I'm trying to push him out, but you're still holding him in your arms? Can't you just say he's having a relapse?

He's brainless! Who brought him here? We'll punish them all!

Wei Zhongxian and Luo Sigong both drove towards Han Yu, and the meaning was very clear: it was your turn to step forward.

Han Yu was very angry with the two people.

You guys think of me now. What were you thinking about just now? You think of me when you think of something like this. It's like you're standing on the same boat. Seeing the boat is about to sink, you can't wait to push me into the water!

Han Yu knew he couldn't avoid it, but being watched like that by these two made him uncomfortable. So he started by challenging Wei Zhongxian, "This man was previously in the East Factory prison. Didn't Eunuch Wei notice? That's not right, is it?"

Seeing that the blame was about to fall on his head, Wei Zhongxian subconsciously took a step back. I haven't said much all day, don't put the blame on me!

Wei Zhongxian simply waved his hand and said with a confident look, "When they were in my East Factory, they were fine, eating and sleeping well. My family is not the kind of people who abuse others. Every day, there are doctors who see them and treat their health. They are in very good health."

Luo Sigong quit, so he blames me? Your East Factory is inefficient. If you had closed this case earlier, how could this happen?

Now it involves our Jinyiwei. Who did we, the Jinyiwei, offend? I haven't been involved in anything from the beginning to now, and you want to put me in jail in the end? You wish!

Luo Sigong looked at Wei Zhongxian and said directly, "This has nothing to do with us, the Jinyiwei. After these people joined our Jinyiwei, we served them well every day. This kind of incident is a thing of the past."

Glancing at the two of them, Han Yu thought, "Let's just let you two fight each other." He was only here to investigate the case, so he certainly didn't hold much responsibility. However, he couldn't escape the blame either, especially since his files would be leaked. He would definitely be at the center of this controversy.
