Chapter 352: Iron Pillar's Test



Tiezhu walked out of the door with heavy steps, as if afraid that others couldn't hear him.

Zhou Yi looked at the door, then looked at the three documents spread out on the desk of a subordinate.

Do you want to watch it or not?

If I don't watch it, I will feel uneasy and guilty.

But if you look at it, wouldn’t that be exactly what someone wants?

Zhou Yi was very depressed. It turned out that this was how it felt to be treated as a fool inferior to him by a fool.

He admitted that as a warrior, he was not knowledgeable enough and his mind was not flexible enough, but he really didn't want to become the same kind as Tiezhu.

Never mind, I'd better just watch it! Otherwise, it would be a shame for him to waste so much time worrying about it.

Zhou Yi looked at the door, and after making sure there was no one around, he quickly moved to the iron pillar table.

He wanted to see how serious the case was that would trouble Tiezhu to use such poor acting skills.

Zhou Yi took a closer look and was stunned for a moment.

Oh my God, is it too late to look away now and pretend I haven’t seen it?

As it turned out, when he had this idea, there was no turning back.

The bleak cold wind blew from behind, and Zhou Yi resisted the urge to look back.

But someone obviously didn't have the skill of "seeing through but not saying it out loud".

A window in the corner was pushed open, and Tiezhu stuck his head in through the window, saying in surprise, "Hey, Master Zhou! You're watching too? Wait for me, let's discuss this together, I'll be in right away."

Zhou Yi had a look of despair on his face. He wanted to say, "Don't come in. Go down to the yamen and report to your brothers Han and Su!"

Who are these people?

Is the trick old or not?

It’s old, but it works.

Are you angry? That's really mean.

Tiezhu's surprised voice came from far away and finally rang in Zhou Yi's ears.

"Master Zhou, you said that the Luo family is in such a miserable state! To say that the whole family is in ruins is not an exaggeration."

"And what about the Minister of War, Ning Yuanchen? Doesn't anyone care about his family affairs?"

"And how come the house of the Junior Secretary of the Enma Temple, who has been repeatedly impeached recently, collapsed so suddenly?"

Zhou Yi didn't want to answer any of these questions. Their investigation was really comprehensive.

Except for the suburban horse farms and the Imperial Stables, all of them were connected by them.

Zhou Yi had a vague premonition that if they continued like this, the investigation progress of these three people would definitely surpass them and remain far ahead.

"Master Zhou, please say something! Isn't Luo Ying pitiful?"

Zhou Yi wanted to say, "Please have some pity on me! I'm almost out of a job."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yi suddenly realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "You just mentioned Luo Ying, where did you know this name?"

Tiezhu pointed to the file on the table, thinking that he knew it from it.

Zhou Yi grabbed the file and read it quickly.

Luo Qinghuan's case was classified as an accidental death, so the Dali Temple did not accept the case, but only kept a file on file.

The file only contains basic information such as Luo Qinghuan's official position, birth and death years, cause of death, manner of death, location of the crime, and the person who reported the case.

And the record of Luo Wanqing jumping into the river.

The file mentioned the conclusion that one of the father and daughter was dead and the other was insane, but the names of Mrs. Luo and Luo Ying were only mentioned briefly.

"Why do you feel pity for Luo Ying? Have you met him?"

Tiezhu thought to himself that he didn't even know whether Luo Ying was a man or a woman, so how could he have ever seen her in person?

Han Zeyu asked him to mention Luo Ying's name when he had the chance to see how Zhou Yi would react.

Tiezhu thought it was a small matter and tested it out, but Zhou Yi's reaction was so big.

Woo woo woo, master, you have hurt me again. I will not support you in your old age from now on.

Tiezhu only dared to shout a few words in his heart, and didn't dare to say a word in front of someone.

Zhou Yi pursued the matter relentlessly and was determined to get to the bottom of it, and there was no way to stop him.

Tiezhu really didn't know, but when he was asked urgently, an idea suddenly came to his mind and he decided to just go for it.

"You can ask my young master, or even Brother Han. What's the point of bullying an honest person? I want to tell General Tie that you're suppressing your subordinates."

Zhouyi...

He was not afraid of telling General Tie, but he didn't dare to ask Han Zeyu.

Should I ask Su Shien?

Forget it, it’s his grandson who owes the money, so he should keep a low profile!

The frustrated Zhou Yi hurried to the palace to see the emperor and reported to him everything about Han Zeyu instructing Tiezhu to investigate Luo Qinghuan and others.

"He mentioned Luo Ying's name during the conversation, but I checked the files and found no mention of Luo Ying's situation. Luo Ying has been missing for over a month, and I have been unable to locate him."

Zhou Yi's expression was hard to describe. In this matter, they were indeed useless.

Because they were worried about alerting the suspects, they were very cautious during the investigation, which made it very inefficient.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Do you think Luo Ying is also in Han Zeyu's hands?"

Are you there too?

Zhou Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he realized that His Majesty meant that Luo Ying's situation was the same as Ao Ye's.

Could it be that Han Zeyu instructed Tiezhu to leak the information in order to make them pay to redeem the person?

If it were someone else, they would definitely not do such a thing, but if it was that living bandit who loved money like his life...

The king and his minister looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

It’s not a pleasant feeling to be short of money!

Otherwise, it must be said that His Majesty the Emperor is wise and brave, and acts decisively, and came up with a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Luo Qinghuan’s death is closely related to that chain of interests.

Before, when Han Zeyu participated in the competition, the old man from the Pang family deliberately gave him a low score to disgust others. I believe he also hated this person in his heart.

It would be better to do a favor and deal with Pang Yungui first.

The most important thing is that Han Zeyu’s debt was deducted from Pang Yungui’s illegal income.

Confiscating his house not only enriched the national treasury but also paid off the debts. It can only be said that Pang Yungui's death was not unjust.

The emperor's investigation results showed that Luo Qinghuan's death was related to Ma Zheng's corruption case.

But in fact, his death was caused by Ning Yuanchen, but there is no conflict. It can be regarded as an unexpected convergence.

His Majesty the Emperor has ordered Pang Yungui, Shaoqing of the Yuanmasi Temple, to enter the palace.

At that time, Censor Ding, who had been waiting in the palace before him, had already submitted the fourth memorial in person, firmly impeaching the Shaoqing of Yuanma Temple for corruption and abuse of power.

Although the crime of corruption and abuse of power is serious, it is a panacea excuse for impeaching officials. No official can withstand investigation.

Especially for those in high-ranking officials, the higher they are, the more they fear being investigated. If they receive too many tributes, they may make mistakes somewhere.

The emperor's mind is as clear as a mirror. When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It all depends on whether he wants to investigate you.
