Chapter 583 The Prison of the Prisoner
"How did you die?" Liu Chengyou's expression changed slightly, his expression was unfriendly. He hated such unexpected and out-of-control things: "Wu Desi can't even look down on a prisoner?"

"The director of the prison reported that Wang Jingchong committed suicide in fear of crime for a while without checking it! The young man checked it out, and hanged himself with a hemp rope and hung it in the prison!" Zhang Dejun said.

"A person like Wang Jingchong would commit suicide in fear of crime? It's ridiculous!" Liu Chengyou only thought for a while, and then said with certainty: "He died within a day and night after being imprisoned. There must be hidden reasons. Go and find out for me. !"

"Yes!" After returning to the hall, before he could rest, Zhang Dejun left in a hurry, looking full of energy.

Leaning on the throne, Liu Chengyou closed his eyes and thought deeply, and he couldn't help sighing in his breath.However, since the person is dead, he doesn't have to be so entangled. When he thinks about it, his mind becomes clearer.

After winter, the chill between the heaven and the earth becomes more intense. The inside is lined with duck down and the outside is covered with mink fur. People are tightly wrapped up, but after walking for a while, they feel stuffy and sweaty.He tugged on his coat to let the cold wind blow in, which made him feel more comfortable.

Zhang Dejun hurried over, panting from running, calmed down a little, and then said: "Report to the official, the matter has been clarified!"

"Speak!" Liu Chengyou said directly.

"After a little investigation, it was Wang Xiong, the warden, who strangled Wang Jingchong to death at night, making it look like he committed suicide in fear of crime!"

"Wang Xiong? I have an impression!" Liu Chengyou frowned.

Zhang Dejun explained: "Wang Xiong was originally known as Wu Desi in Gyeonggi. After Shou Guogong resigned, because he refused to accept Wang Jingchong and confronted him repeatedly, which delayed his official affairs, he was demoted to a jailer. Later, he encountered a fight in the market and was beaten. One leg was broken, and it is said that Wang Jingchong was behind the scenes, and since then, Wang Xiong hated Wang Jingchong deeply! This time Wang Jingchong was imprisoned, and he was under his jurisdiction, and he was motivated to kill because of hatred!"

"Oh! It's a good show of revenge!" Hearing the narration, Liu Chengyou said, "What about Wang Xiong?"

"Before the little one went to prison, he committed suicide!" Zhang Dejun replied.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I put Wang Jingchong in the prison of Wude. I thought that he was in the yamen and had a lot of party followers, so he could be protected. I didn't think about it, but I hurt him and accelerated his death."

"It's also because he acts recklessly and arrogantly on weekdays, and offended too many people, which caused this disaster!" Zhang Dejun said in a consoling tone, since he was dead, he also boldly expressed his views.

Liu Chengyou nodded, and said lightly: "It's still a pity! It's a pity that the dignified public servant and the envoy of Wude died at the hands of the prison guards! Prisoners are so expensive!"

"Besides, there is one more thing." Zhang Dejun said with some hesitation.

Liu Chengyou only winked, and Zhang Dejun immediately reported: "Together with Wang Jingchong, one person died in prison. After investigation, it was found that this person was the former department of Wang Xianggong of the former third division. It was written that it was originally a frame-up, but it was not expected that Wang Xianggong died of illness, so let it go. His prison is opposite Wang Jingchong, and I think that his death should be silenced by the prison chief."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "I don't know how many things this Wang Jingchong has done behind my back!"

"Wang Jingchong seems to have two sons!" Liu Chengyou ordered: "Pass down the imperial edict, and use his eldest son to succeed him as a first-class marquis. Let his family collect his body!"

"Yes!"

No matter how sinful Wang Jingchong was before he was alive, the sky was angry and the people complained. Now that he is dead, Liu Chengyou is willing to criticize him no matter how harshly he is, and he wants to treat his heirs generously.This has nothing to do with "the dead are the greatest", but at this moment, Liu Chengyou didn't want to make any further disturbances because of Wang Jingchong's incident, which showed his attitude.

"In addition, it is said that the capital of the capital has come to see me!"

Wude's yamen belongs to, below the chief and deputy envoys, they are known to all Taoists. Among them, Gyeonggi Metropolis has the highest status and is resident in Tokyo, followed by house owners, relatives and investigators.

Li Shaoyou resigned, Wang Jingchong took the position, and he did not appoint a deputy envoy. Now Wang Jingchong has died again, so that only the people in the Wude Department who can take charge are known in the capital.

"Minister Zhou Can, please greet Your Majesty!" In the Chongzheng Palace, Zhou Can, who is well known in the capital, paid homage to Liu Chengyou.

A little apprehensive, but also a little excited, this was the first time for him to be in front of the imperial court and have such a close contact with the emperor. In the past, only the principal and deputy envoys had this qualification.Now, as far as he is concerned, it can be described as good luck.

Zhou Can was originally Wang Jingchong's confidant, quite scheming, and was relied on as a think tank, and was repeatedly promoted until he reached a high position known in the capital city.

Liu Chengyou sized him up, without any recklessness, as if he was a civil official, he looked a little thin and thin, with a long beard on his lips, which was very chic.He bowed down in front of the emperor respectfully, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.

"You know everything about the jailer!" Liu Chengyou said.

Hearing and asking, Zhou Can seemed to have been prepared, and replied: "I didn't expect that Wang Xiong's resentment towards Mr. Ren would be so deep. The ministers were negligent, and the fault was serious. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Right now in the Wude Department, I'm afraid people's hearts are fluctuating, and it will be even worse after Wang Jingchong's death!" Liu Chengyou ordered: "When you go back to the Si Ya, you should settle down the staff, so as to stabilize people's hearts, and everyone should return to their duties and manage their affairs!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, the cause of Wang Jingchong's death is strictly sealed by me. This is a matter of Wu Desi, and it will be resolved internally!" Liu Chengyou said in a deep voice.

Zhou Can reported: "The minister has ordered that all the officials and soldiers who know about this matter be controlled. After returning, they must be strictly instructed!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but cast a glance at this person. He responded well and had a flexible mind. Although this person is not well-known in history, it does not mean that he is incapable.Thinking about it, it is impossible to gain the trust of Wang Jingchong and climb to the position known as the capital city without any insight and means.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou said directly: "I heard that you are quite capable in handling affairs. Nowadays, the Department of Wude has changed, and I have promoted you to be the deputy envoy of Wude, and temporarily take charge of the office affairs!"

Before being called into the palace, Zhou Can had already realized that perhaps his chance had come, and he had some expectations in his heart.Therefore, hearing Liu Chengyou's words at this time, his expression was calm, but his tone was still a little excited: "Your Majesty trust me, I thank you!"

"After Li Shaoyou, there is Wang Jingchong. After Wang Jingchong, who can be the master of Wu Desi?" Liu Chengyou murmured softly, glanced at Zhang Dejun beside him, his face once again showed a deep thought.

"Mr. Bian, Zhongcheng, Wang Jingchong is dead!" In the Yushitai Office, a Taiyuan Yushi quickly walked in and reported to Bian Guixuan and Zhao Litong who were discussing with joy.

"What! How did you die?" Bian Guixuan and Zhao Li looked at each other with surprise.

"The news came out that Wang Jingchong died of a sudden illness at night, and the treatment was too late!" The Yushi said with a smile: "This thief has committed a lot of crimes, and he will be punished by heaven if he goes to prison and dies. It's so satisfying!"

"Wang Jingchong has always been in good health, without any disease or disaster. How could he suddenly die of illness? I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Bian Guixuan thought for a while and said.

Zhao Li also echoed: "Yes! However, now that Wang Jingchong is dead, what should I do? If I hand over the impeachment papers prepared earlier, it will be of little use to Your Majesty!"

Bian Guixuan thought for a while and said: "When Wang Jingchong dies, Wu Desi will inevitably lose his mind. This time, with Wang Jingchong as the leader, these minions have acted too much, and everyone in the court and the field hates him deeply. I will take this opportunity to speak, please Your Majesty's dismissal of Wu Desi, no matter how bad it is, should suppress his power and place him within the imperial court system."

"Bian Gong's words are very true!" Zhao Li immediately agreed with Bian Guiyun's words.

"However, His Majesty issued another edict to make Wang Jingchong's eldest son succeed him as Marquis, which seems to have the intention of ending this matter." Yu Shi said.

"No matter how much, as the censor, we are responsible for supervision and have the right to advise, just do our job well!" Bian Guizhen said: "This time, we must take the opportunity to persuade Your Majesty, Reorganize the Chao Gang!"

After Bian Guixuan left, Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Li had a strange look on his face, his expression became serious, and he sat in his seat, pretending to be in deep thought.

"Zhong Cheng, you seem to have doubts about this matter?" The censor didn't leave, and asked softly.

Zhao Li glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

The censor looked around, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Your official thinks that everything is too late. This time, because of the remonstrance of the ministers, His Majesty is already dissatisfied. Now that Wang Jingchong is dead, if you still hold on to this matter I am afraid that His Majesty will really be angry. Even though we uphold the righteousness, it is difficult to resist, the emperor is furious!

Wu Desi directly belongs to His Majesty, although he was reprimanded by the courtiers, he is the emperor's most powerful weapon.If Bian Gong wants to make a fuss about the existence of Wu Desi, it is His Majesty who will fight against it!Although His Majesty is the successor king, he is the master of pioneering. He has always been strong, and I'm afraid it will be unbearable!If it is added with playing, it will be unpredictable! "
