Chapter 1503 The same person?
He Yi thought for a moment and said, "In my humble opinion, Shao Ren was simply blinded by greed. He conspired with Feng Qianyan to commit such an absurd act, and he deserved the punishment. But Han Guangqi—there's something very wrong."
“…”
"Even his death was problematic."
"oh."
Zhu Feng didn't seem surprised by his answer. He put down the pen and paper in his hand, looked at He Yi and said, "Why, you don't think this person committed suicide out of remorse or fear of punishment?"
"good."
"Why?"
"If a person truly felt remorse, he would not have escaped capture; if he had escaped capture, he would have died only out of fear, not out of remorse and suicide."
“…”
"I have read the file sent by the Ministry of Justice. It contains a suicide note from this man, filled with words of remorse. These are definitely not the emotions of someone who deliberately evaded capture."
"So..." Zhu Feng said, "He just fears his crime, not repents."
"That's what I think."
“…”
"Moreover, Liu Yueze, the head of the Ministry of Justice, also mentioned this in the case file."
Zhu Feng nodded.
He Yi looked up at him again and said softly, "The Emperor just mentioned that Han Guangqi was simply afraid of his crime, not repenting, but he didn't say he committed suicide. Could it be that... the Emperor also believes that his 'death' is questionable?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just looked at him.
It can be considered as a default.
He Yi said, "I wonder what the emperor thinks about this matter."
Zhu Feng said, "The Queen said earlier that this person had escaped the imperial court. Obviously, they must have received the news long ago. Since they had made arrangements in advance, they must have also made plans for their escape route or hiding place."
"good."
"But this person hanged himself in a forest south of the city."
“…”
"If I remember correctly, that place is deserted. Han Guangqi fled there. Could it be that he had already prepared to die?"
“…”
"If you want to die, why bother running away?"
“…”
"So, he should be going to that place to meet someone and arrange his escape route. If I'm not mistaken, there must be someone behind this person."
He Yi's breath slowly grew heavier.
In fact, that's what he thought the moment he saw the files from the Ministry of Justice.
As for Zhu Feng, he hadn't even read the files yet, but he was able to make such a judgment based on just a few words the Queen said to him. It was really shocking.
It seems that this incident has a much smaller impact on him than the previous incident at the Grand Altar.
He Yi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Feng waved his hand calmly. "As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, stop imitating them and saying such useless things in front of me. I want to ask you, you said before that you would send a few people to the secondary school of that Xia Nongsheng to find out where he went and what he did after taking the palace examination. Have you got any news yet?"
He Yi shook his head: "Not yet."
Zhu Feng frowned: "Why not yet?"
He Yi said, "This person wasn't originally part of the Ministry of Personnel's staff, so it's difficult to investigate his situation. Furthermore, he seems to be intentionally concealing information, so many things are difficult to investigate."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned and remained silent.
He Yi looked at him and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you suddenly asking about this person? Are you worried that the mastermind behind this Xia Nongsheng might be the same person behind Han Guangqi?"
