"I must obey the sacred edicts, rectify the ministry, and eliminate the bad habits of mediocre officials. If it does not look fresh in three months, please ask the emperor to behead me." Lu Daqi expressed his sincere attitude.

"I will definitely send all my censors out. Not only the Ministry of Justice, but also other departments should strengthen supervision to rectify the moral discipline." Huang Zongxi immediately expressed his opinion.

"The Censorate will not do the affairs of the Ministry of Supervision for the time being. Leave a three-month period for each department to conduct self-inspection and correction. If you move again after three months, if there is still a problem, the chief official will be as simple as a salary fine. If you cannot do anything, you will be moved to me." Zhu Youlang said to Huang Zongxi.

"Yes, I follow the order." Huang Zongxi replied.

"Your Majesty, how to investigate this case next? I respectfully listen to the emperor's decree." Lu Daqi asked with courage.

"Hong Zulie!" Zhu Youlang ignored Lu Daqi and called Hong Zulie.

"I'm here." Hong Zulie's heart trembled and he quickly replied.

"Do you have nothing to say?" Zhu Youlang asked lightly.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I have not arranged it well and I have not strictly supervised my subordinates, which led to Bi Kexing committing suicide. I have nothing to say and I am willing to be punished." Hong Zulie was frightened by Zhu Youlang's cold voice. He was not afraid of the emperor's anger. Just like he scolded Lu Shangshu just now, it would make people feel relieved. Such a plain and cold voice made people feel that the pressure was even heavier. He heard the emperor call his name directly, and he suddenly felt inexplicably frightened. He didn't know what the emperor meant, so he had to bite the bullet and confess his guilt of dereliction of duty.

"So, are you negligent? I just don't know whether your negligence is an unintentional mistake or intentional one?"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am indeed an unintentional mistake. How dare I do it intentionally?" Hong Zulie was shocked and kowtowed repeatedly to defend himself.

"Hmph! God has the virtue of living, but it is difficult to save those who will die. Well, if you don't tell the truth, then I won't ask, please take care of yourself." Zhu Youlang said lightly.

Although his tone was plain, the disgust was very strong, and everyone in the hall could feel it.

Lu Daqi looked at the emperor in shock: "Your Majesty, I do not understand the holy intention. Hong Zulie has always been loyal, upright, neither greedy nor corrupt, and I rely on it as an indispensable arm to help."

"Yanruo, what you see is just appearance. You may not know yet. Recently, there have been three more shops under his name. I don't know how much money he has collected. However, the three wealthy families of Chen, Jiang and Wen will not be less than 10,000 taels. Are I right? Hong Zulie?" Zhu Youlang said.

"Your Majesty, I..." When Hong Zulie heard this, he knew that the truth was revealed and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"You and Taichong take over this case, the chief trialist, Gu Aiqing, and Ma Jixiang's deputy trial. All the criminals are taken over by the Jinyiwei. Your prison is airtight, and you are all in the air, and you are working together, and it is already a mess. Hong Zulie, Zhou Zhongxing, Zhou Sanpi is temporarily imprisoned and will be punished after the case is revealed."

"I will obey the order!"

...

The reason why Ma Jixiang was involved was that after Chen Jitai returned to Guangzhou, he handed over the situation of the case to Ma Jixiang. The emperor agreed to let him be responsible for military affairs and civil affairs, but he would not participate.

It was also a loss to Ma Jixiang. This guy had too many bad ideas. He arranged a lot of people outside, but he also asked his own people to pretend to be a prisoner and went to prison. The prison was opposite Bi Kexing and Chen Zhengtai's prison.

Therefore, every move in the prison could not escape Ma Jixiang's surveillance.

...

The people's vision is bright, and the people's wisdom cannot be underestimated. Now, the Guangning case was held for the last time, and the private discussions of the people surrounding the lobby of the Ministry of Justice were very scented to be an underground detective.

"Hey, I said, how did Bi Kexing die?"

"Tsk, don't you know this? I know too much, I'll just silence me if I'm killed."

"You know? Do you understand so well, do you know who killed it?"

"Who killed? Whoever has the advantage is who killed it. Look, as soon as the dog official dies, the Chen family, Jiang family, and Wen family all blame him for the crime, and they say that the county magistrate instructed them to do it. In this way, they become accomplices, should they be punished for death, and spend some money, and they can get out in prison in less than a few years. Is it better to have a big fish and a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine?"

"What you mean is that the murderer is among the three families of Chen, Jiang and Wen? Then why do I think it is impossible? Look, if you want to bring the poison in and let the dog official drink it voluntarily, how many joints can the prison be opened? The three families are just local bullies in the county, and can do such a big thing?"

"Oh, there is someone else who says that?"

"Yes, I think that Bi Kexing is so bold, there must be someone behind him, who is more important than him. He is greedy for so much money, so how can he not respect Shangguan? He is going to have an accident, are the dog officials above him not anxious? He is afraid of being bitten out, right?"

"Yes, what you said makes sense."

"What should I do if I am afraid of being bitten? There is only one way to make him a dead person. Think about it, Bi Kexing, the dog official, was designated to be unable to live. He was caught by the emperor and the old man. Can he still survive? Since he cannot live, why didn't he die early? As long as he dies, how many people have to be saved, right? Besides, if he dies, his family wealth will be saved and he will not be confiscated. Moreover, he will die to protect others. These people will definitely think of his goodness and will take care of his son in the future. Leaving such a relationship, why not die?"

"Hey! Don't say it, your statement is really reasonable. If I want me, I will die. If I don't do it well, this is really a matter arranged behind the scenes of someone in the court. Hey, who did you say that as long as you die, your family will be saved?"

"I didn't hear anyone say that it was my own thoughts. Think about it, everyone is dead, who is the one who is an official has the nerve to attack his private money? Do you understand the protection of the official? He is so cruel to other officials. If he is going to make trouble in the future, other officials will be so cruel to him! So it is not so reasonable to stay in the front line of people and meet each other in the future."

"Hey, I said, you are a good official scripture. If I hadn't known your background, just like you, who would have thought that you were just a manure picker?"

"Does it make sense to pick or not, do you just say it's reasonable?"

"It makes sense. But don't forget that the emperor is so smart, and he will ignore it?"

"Emperor? I guess the emperor must know the twists and turns here, so it depends on whether he really cares about it."

"Of course I really care about it, why not?"

"If you don't say you can't be an official, are you the one who drives a donkey cart? Isn't your brain like a donkey?"

"What's wrong?"

"The emperor is afraid he wants to cover the cover too..."

"Nonsense! I don't believe it, how could the emperor cover up?"
