Chapter 332 Death of Yang Lingyu

The next day, a major event happened in the capital.

Yang Lingyu, who murdered the Song family, a drug dealer in Huizhou, hanged himself in the prison of the Ministry of Justice and left a blood confession before his death. The general meaning was that he was obsessed with his mind and made a big mistake. He was ashamed of the cultivation of His Majesty and his family, and was willing to die to atone for his crime.

The blood letter was written on the prison uniform torn off his body.

Hanging also uses cloth strips.

The Ministry of Justice has not been able to find any other clues in its previous investigations.

No one knew that a jailer had been here before, and after doing all these things, he wiped out all traces.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

As soon as Lord Yang woke up, he heard about Yang Lingyu's affairs and was shocked.

The confidant said, "Master, the Ministry of Justice sent a message this morning saying that it has been confirmed. The coroner has gone to see the man and he did die of suffocation. There was no trace of another person at the scene."

"Nonsense, impossible!"

The officials sent by the Ministry of Justice to investigate Huizhou have not returned yet, so the news that the governor committed suicide by taking poison has not yet been reported to the capital. Yang Ge Lao had previously talked to Yang Lingyu and said that he would find a way to get him off the hook. Therefore, he firmly believed that Yang Lingyu would not commit suicide out of fear of punishment.

There must be something hidden in this! Yang Ge Lao hurriedly put on his court clothes and said, "I want to go to the palace to see the emperor."

"Master, think twice!"

The attendant quickly chased after him and stopped him, "You are under house arrest. Leaving the Yang Mansion rashly is equivalent to disobeying the order."

When Yang Ge Lao was about to step out of the Yang Mansion, he paused, his face struggling and twisted, and it took him a long while to regain his composure. He turned around and walked back, "Go back to the study and grind ink for me. I need to write a memorial."

So, Lord Yang hurriedly wrote a memorial.

The content was nothing more than a cry for injustice, stating that Yang Lingyu was innocent and would certainly not commit suicide out of fear of punishment, and begging Emperor Chengdi of the Ming Dynasty to investigate the matter.

Lord Yang can submit a memorial without leaving his house.

The memorial was soon passed to Emperor Mingcheng. He only flipped through it and then threw it to the Minister of Justice, "Take a look. This is written by Yang Zhengkai."

The Minister of Justice flipped through the memorial and read it. "I had the same idea before and went to check the scene myself. At that time, the cell where Yang Lingyu was was locked, and there was no trace of anyone else except him."

"But what Yang Zhengkai said was murder?"

"Lord Yang may not be able to accept the reality for the time being." The Minister of Justice behaved dignifiedly and was full of righteousness. "Not only did I see the scene, but according to the traces, Yang Lingyu tore open his prison uniform, bit his finger, left a suicide note, and then hanged himself in front of the prison door."

All signs indicate.

Yang Lingyu did hang herself.

The Minister of Justice said again: "I don't suspect homicide. There are traces of Yang Lingyu tying the knot on the hanging cloth. He bit one of his fingers and the blood was stained on the cloth. There are his blood fingerprints, there is no doubt about it."

If it was really murder.

The murderer was too clever.

Anyone who came here to solve the case would find out that Yang Lingyu committed suicide.

Emperor Mingcheng suddenly curled his lips and sneered, "I just received a message that the person you sent to Huizhou to investigate committed suicide by taking poison before he even arrived at the place. He left a suicide note confessing his guilt. Don't you think it's funny? The same case, two people involved in the case also committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

This made the Minister of Justice's scalp tingle.

In the same case, two officials committed suicide one after another. The most ridiculous thing is that they both admitted their guilt. Who was the mastermind? Emperor Ming Cheng knew something else. "The Yang family is quite capable. They even dared to kill the governor. Tsk, that guy deserves to die. He abused his power and accepted bribes, but it is not the Yang family's turn to take the blame."

His sudden remark startled the Minister of Justice, and he immediately lowered his head meekly and said nothing.

The Ministry of Justice sent people to investigate openly.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to conduct a secret investigation.

It is said that a nobleman in the capital wanted the Song family's pharmacopoeia, but the Song family refused. Not long after, something went wrong. There was a force behind the scenes that was tyrannical and indifferent to the law. Anyone who went to inquire about the Song family would be killed.

Thirty-seven people died and nine were injured or disabled.

As the prefect of Huizhou, Yang Lingyu not only did not report it but also covered up for the other party. How dare he say that he was not in cahoots with them?

What Emperor Ming Cheng cared about first was not human life, but the existence of such an unknown force that acted blatantly under the name of nobles in the capital. The fact that Yang Lingyu protected the other party showed that, if this force was not from the Yang family, it was in collusion with the Yang family.

Think about the forces targeting the Yuan family? Emperor Mingcheng suddenly ordered: "Send a message to the commander of the Jinyiwei!"

A eunuch stepped forward and was ordered to leave.

The Minister of Justice shuddered.

Your Majesty is about to make another big move! An hour later.

Almost all the Jinyiwei in the capital were mobilized to surround the Yang Mansion and the Liu Family. The Jinyiwei broke into the house directly and drove the masters and servants of the mansions together.

Then start the search and frisk.

Without even having the chance to react, Lord Yang was driven to the front courtyard.

When he saw the Jinyiwei coming to his house, he searched without saying a word.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lord Yang knew that the Yang family was doomed.

Liu Bingzheng was on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau. When the Embroidered Uniform Guards showed up, they arrested him and threw him into jail. Without even giving any explanation, they went to search Liu's house.

The main search location was Liu Bingzheng's study.

All the medical books were taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. There was a mechanism in Liu Bingzheng's study, and they found a secret room where a large number of medical books were stored.

"Take them all away!"

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard picked up one of the books and started flipping through it.

Turn to the last side.

There was a spot on it that had been smeared with ink.

Pick up another one, and it’s the same in the same position. The other books are all similar.

Needless to say, the ink is meant to cover up something.

As far as he knew, the Song family's collection of books would have the Song family's seal on the back. He picked up a medical book and threw it to one of his companions, "Take it and find someone to find a way to see what the ink is covering up."

"Yes, sir."

The man hurried away with the medical book.

…

Yuan Mansion.

A servant hurried to report to Minister Yuan.

Minister Yuan has been extremely busy these days, and almost all of his clansmen are locked up in the yamen's jail. Their families come to the door every day, crying and asking for help.

He is not in a position to show up, nor does he want to.

So he asked the women in his family to entertain them.

Didn't Yuan Shangshu want to save him? Yes, he did! But he was under house arrest and couldn't leave the house.

There was no response to the secret report submitted, and Minister Yuan almost thought that Emperor Mingcheng was going to protect the Yang family. He was almost in despair and had already prepared himself to die.

A sudden turn of events today? ! "The Royal Guards have been dispatched? Is this true?"

A look of surprise suddenly broke out on Minister Yuan's haggard face. When he heard the affirmative answer from the reporter, he laughed out loud and cried, "Yang family! Yang Zhengkai, you old bastard, you have come to this day! Hahahaha..."
