Chapter 48: If you plan to be scolded in the palace, your wife will not seek death in prison (2)

"That's all, I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, so I just happened to ask about this."

After making plans, the emperor muttered to himself, "The emperor should have brought back some delicious food and drinks when she went out, so she might as well go and get some. When the time comes..."

The emperor was filled with curiosity by his wife's confusion, and was about to get up to find the emperor, when he hurriedly reported the news.

"Your Majesty, it was submitted by the Ministry of Punishment and Jingzhao Yamen."

Not intending to sit back and read it carefully, the emperor took the paper directly and saw it written on it: In the An Mu case of An family in Taiyuan, a prisoner committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime, leaving a blood letter.

This has not yet resolved the marriage between his ignorant son and a girl from the An family. The reversal of the case that year was met with resistance again, and the emperor felt more and more headaches.

The previous incident involving An Mu was hastily settled because An Mu committed suicide in prison to prove his innocence. This was because he felt sorry for a family like the pillars of the An family.

Now that my son wants to break off the engagement, he feels sorry for An's daughter... Apart from anything else, that girl from An's family is a good child, so she will definitely be sad.

The emperor didn't care about his son's private matters, and now he felt even more guilty.

"Come here, let's talk to the Queen Mother. I will go see the Queen Mother later." After thinking about it, the emperor put aside his curiosity and dealt with the important matters at hand.

"Ask all the officials handling the case to come to the palace, bring the evidence they have, the prisoners they have caught, and the relevant files, and bring them to the palace within an hour."

After rubbing his temples, the emperor felt a headache.

It is said that the person who died this time was the fortune teller, who committed suicide out of fear of crime. In fact, these officials copied the contents of the blood letters submitted, and most of them stated their crimes.

I am an orphan, but I am taught by immortals. I am wise, foolish, and have evil thoughts, but I will not give up. After three years of failure, I go out to seek life. I find a good man and serve my master. If I get a good son, everything will be prepared for me.

The fortune teller is not illiterate. He can read those scriptures and learn those magic techniques. How can he be stupid?

Fortune-telling is about poverty, and it is easy to fall into evil ways. He talks about money and promises fame and fortune. He wants to keep his integrity, so he kills his wife and harms his children. The father and brother are righteous and help the poor children. But it is difficult to eat, and one money can be used for three purposes? My wife is blinded by money.

If you don't want to cause trouble, your wife will be robbed. If you help others, you will offend the innocent. Over time, the house and furniture will be burned. If you are alone, what will ghosts and gods do? It's hard to live in the right way, and gold and silver will be in the wrong way. If you are like a walking corpse, what's the harm in walking?

The emperor could see the accusations contained in the bloody book. The court had heard about these things, but it could not be done in a day.

Just like how the third prince, Li Mu, has reported recently that there are people who deceive the world and use the name of ghosts and gods to do evil - the court does not ignore it, but it is so entangled that it is difficult to get rid of it.

Before those officials came to the palace, the emperor took the copied blood letter in his hand and continued reading:

If you have one gold and silver, you will not be afraid of shortening your life. If you have ten gold and silver, death will not matter. If you have one hundred gold and silver, you will not be afraid of five thunders. If you do not die for wealth, it is difficult to survive without wealth. If you know the right way, it is difficult to return. Three souls and seven souls

, death should be destroyed.

Then there was a story about how he, together with An Cheng, the third son of the An family, killed An Mu because of money, and then tried to get rid of An Che's family. Unfortunately, except for some magic tricks and rumors, there was no real evidence left, so the emperor still had to send him away.

The officials went to find it.

Looking at the sky outside the palace, the emperor was a little confused. Nowadays, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but there are still people who use ghosts and gods to persuade people to do good. Is there something wrong with the civil customs of the court, or...

What the emperor didn't expect was that the evil ways didn't matter whether you wanted good or evil, but the right way would never give you what you didn't deserve. Such a difference between good and evil made the evil ways look more effective and attract more believers.
