Chapter 339 Chapter 338 Murder
When all the people in Nanyang Prefecture were arrested, Prefect Fang realized that An Xin had long guessed that if he was forced into a corner, he would choose to take risks or fight to the death.
From the people sent to investigate Prefect Fang after arriving in Nanyang Prefecture, it was learned that he had kept a mistress outside without telling his wife, and that the mistress had given birth to a son for him.
An Xin had someone steal the golden lock that was specially made by Magistrate Fang for his concubine, just to buy time when Magistrate Fang became desperate.
As for taking a child as a hostage, An Xin felt that he was not that cruel.
When Prefect Fang found out that he had been fooled by An Xin and had not taken action, he regretted it deeply. If he had been able to set the house on fire earlier to burn An Xin, Li Ziyu and others to death, he might have had a chance of survival. Now it was all over.
Finished dealing with the epidemic situation in Nanyang Prefecture.
An Xin was also preparing to bring people to escort Prefect Fang and a group of corrupt officials back to Beijing for trial. As for whether the person behind them could be found out, that was the business of the emperor, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.
Li Ziyu stood outside the city gate and watched the slowly disappearing team, his eyes unable to hide his loneliness, because he still had things to do and could not return to Beijing with them.
When turning around and getting into the carriage, the personal attendant Mo Yan was still looking at his master, and could see a hint of reluctance hidden in his cold and indifferent eyes.
He turned his head to look in the direction where An Xin and the others left, pursed his lips, then jumped forward and told the coachman to return to the city.
An Xin and her companions had a difficult journey back to Beijing. Her assassins, seeing that they could not kill An Xin, began to rob and kill Prefect Fang and other Nanyang officials, hoping to silence them.
The officials in Nanyang who had been staring at An Xin with sinister eyes and cursing him every day, also became quails in the repeated robberies and killings.
I'm afraid that Magistrate Fang knows better than anyone who wants to kill him to silence him.
He thought that An Xin would interrogate him in advance and make him reveal the person behind it so that he could take credit in front of the emperor.
Prefect Fang had a deep look in his eyes. He had even thought of the conditions for negotiating with An Xin.
An Xin saw what Prefect Fang was thinking and just gave him a look that said, "You're overthinking it."
"..." It's impossible for me to take credit for it even if I am beaten to death.
The higher the official position, the closer one is to the emperor. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. She would only do that because she has nothing better to do.
In the capital city, the majestic imperial palace, the glazed tiles sparkle in the sun.
An Xin walked into the imperial study without any obstruction, without caring about his relatives, and handed over the task of providing disaster relief and epidemic relief to Emperor Sheng An.
Emperor Sheng'an was very satisfied with An Xin's relief of the disaster victims. He also led the three imperial concubines and several skilled doctors in Nanyang to develop a plague prescription to end the epidemic in Nanyang.
In particular, she and Li Ziyu, the governor he sent, worked together to eradicate the long-standing corrupt officialdom in Nanyang. Emperor Sheng An expressed his intention to reward those who had made contributions this time.
The Tongzhi of Nanyang was promoted on the spot to become the new prefect of Nanyang.
From the families of several doctors who cooperate in researching plague formulas, one person can be picked out. If he passes the assessment, he will have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Medical Service and become a high-ranking imperial physician from a folk doctor.
Although there may not be a chance to treat the emperor, it is still a leap in social status, and at least one can become a guest of high-ranking officials.
The families that children and grandchildren marry into are no longer just chosen from among the common people.
The three imperial doctors who went to Nanyang Prefecture were also commended, but Imperial Doctor Tang took the blame for An Xin and invented a mouth mask to prevent epidemics, which caught the eye of Emperor Sheng An. Later, he had the opportunity to come before the emperor and treat him.
Even though this was only an insignificant treatment compared to the other two imperial doctors, he could occasionally show up in front of the emperor, and no one in the court or the harem dared to underestimate him anymore.
Other chest people also have different rewards.
And seeing that Emperor Sheng An still wanted to take advantage of her and promote her to a higher position, without wanting to give her any real money, An Xin narrowed her eyes and looked at Emperor Sheng An and expressed her feelings directly.
If the old emperor dared to give her a fake position to fool himself, An Xin would quit his job.
Emperor Sheng An glanced at this woman who only loved yellow and white things, had great ability to do things, but didn't want to be promoted, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
It seemed that the reward he gave this time was not to her liking. He was afraid that this girl would really turn against him. Emperor Sheng An finally took out some good things from his private treasury reluctantly and gave them to this money-grubber.
However, when some people saw that An Xin escorted all the corrupt officials from Nanyang to Beijing alive, they became upset.
An Xin returned to the palace to complete a task, and his three-day vacation had not yet ended.
I heard that most of the officials who I had brought back to the capital safely and handed over to the Ministry of Justice committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Especially since Magistrate Fang was hanged with his belt two meters above the ground, anyone could see how involuntary his death was, and it was obvious that the person who hung him did not give him a choice.
The remaining officials in Nanyang Prefecture who ignored the threats and coercion from the secretive people, did not care about the lives of their families, and were afraid of death, knew relatively limited inside information.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
During the morning court session, Emperor Sheng An was furious and almost dismissed the Minister of Justice from his post and sent him home to eat his own food.
However, he had been an official for many years and was deeply rooted in the court. In the end, Sheng An did not really kick him out of the position of Minister of Justice because many officials pleaded for him.
But after all, the incident happened within his jurisdiction, and the Minister of Justice cannot escape blame for this matter. He has to stay in office to investigate. If he makes the same mistake again, he may lose his position.
An Xin did not deny this matter. No matter what, those people died in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter.
On the other hand, Xiao Wenrou learned that an imperial physician in the court came up with the idea of using a mouth mask to prevent cross-infection when dealing with the plague in Nanyang, and she became doubtful.
The people who were sent out to investigate came back to report that nothing strange had happened to the imperial physician Tang or his family.
Although Xiao Wenrou felt something unusual, she didn't find any substantial evidence, so she could only let the matter go.
Even when he saw the adjutant sent by Prime Minister Xiao on the boat that time, he failed to kill An Xin after acting rashly. Xiao Wenrou immediately exchanged systems with the person she thought he was.
She used her accumulated luck points to exchange for a pistol, then hid in the dark and shot An Xin, whom she had long disliked.
Because it was her first time using a gun, her shooting was not accurate, and Jiang Xuan suddenly appeared to block the bullet for An Xin, which made Xiao Wenrou feel very angry.
And those families who went with her to Nanyu to participate in the Cuju competition, after Emperor Sheng An's unfair rewards, secretly regretted that they did not go to An Xin to sign up.
This made them miss out on the preferential treatment that could have been given to them when their family was ennobled.
My dear, you are never the one who is wrong. Many of those people's families blame Xiao Wenrou for the mistake.
This made Xiao Wenrou feel aggrieved and she even wished An Xin would die.
