Chapter 247 Quick and accurate! Head back and bite!
When Ye Chenfeng heard this, he frowned and asked extremely calmly, "Why wasn't it informed beforehand?"
"These are all cases that happened last night. The stewards of each village just sent people back to the palace to report. When the subordinates received the news, they wanted to come and report. General Liu came." Yun Zhong didn't need to think about it to know that there was something fishy here!
They are all here for the prince.
Mei Wen'er, who felt the same way, immediately asked, "Are all the tenants' bodies intact?"
"It's unknown at the moment, but after receiving the news, my subordinates immediately sent secret guards to the farms where the incident occurred. They will control the situation as soon as possible!" Yun Zhong reported.
"Okay, you ask them to hand over the bodies to the various government offices directly under them, and in the name of each yamen, send the bodies to Jingzhao Mansion. I will inform Jingzhao Yin and ask him to be prepared to collect the bodies." Mei Wen
Er arranged.
When Yun Zhong heard this, he took the order without even looking at the regent, "Yes! I will do it now."
"Wait!" Ye Chenfeng stopped the person and asked with a half-smile, "Have you forgotten whose subordinate you are?"
"Your Majesty..." Yun Zhong was honest, but a little scared!
"Don't scare him." Mei Wen'er patted the back of a certain regent's hand, "Is there anything else you want to give me?"
"Don't dare." Ye Chenfeng smiled and kicked Yun Zhong out. "Go away, just do what your empress ordered, and then drive that general away! I have no time to talk to him."
"Yes!" Yun Zhong quickly retreated to attend to errands.
Mrs. Xiang then asked, "Is it okay?"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, everything will be fine, but I have to ask you to look after Zhongli and my daughter for a few days."
"You're so polite! Just go and do whatever you want to do."
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" After Ye Chenfeng thanked her, he took Mei Wen'er out of the backyard.
"What does the prince want to do?" Mei Wen'er asked still unclearly.
Ye Chenfeng had already picked her up on his horse, "First go to the suburbs of Beijing to look at the bodies of the tenants, so as not to lose the clues."
Mei Wen'er didn't ask any more questions, and the couple quickly checked the bodies of the other eight tenants.
It was before the night curfew, and they had finished their work and rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. What they saw was Mei Xiang with a solemn face.
Ye Chenfeng immediately asked, "Something happened in the city?"
"There are rumors from all over the capital that the regent has killed too many people and is too violent! He has been entangled by countless evil spirits in the capital, trying to eat up my good fortune." Mei Xiang said solemnly.
Mei Wen'er was stunned for a moment, "Someone spread it on purpose?"
"Yes, Jingzhao Yin has imprisoned all those who spread the message, but these people all hanged themselves in Jingzhao Mansion Prison under mysterious circumstances."
This is what makes Mei Xiang dignified! Jing Zhaoyin is his student, and the prisoners are under strict supervision, but something like this happened.
Mei Xiang therefore said without any doubt: "Tomorrow morning, there will be ministers who will attack the prince."
"Ha." Ye Chenfeng sneered without fear at all, "Let them come! I want to see what kind of evil he wants to do this time."
"What happened this time is not simple! It's also too weird. Your Majesty, please don't underestimate the enemy." Mei Xiang reminded.
Mei Wen'er asked, "Are the bodies of these deceased all in Jingzhao Mansion?"
"Here, you want to go and see it?" Mei Xiang had already heard about his daughter's deeds from Jing Zhaoyin, "But what did you see?"
"Yes." Mei Wen'er nodded, "I found that these people have all been affected by the spell, and so far, I have smelled a very strange fragrance on them. I suspect that this fragrance is the key to the spell.
."
"Can you find the source of the incense?" Mei Xiang asked immediately.
"Not yet, but the prince has ordered people to investigate. Now I want to see if these rumor spreaders are in the same situation." Mei Wen'er explained.
Prime Minister Mei nodded, "Then go and have a look. Dad has already said hello to Jing Zhaoyin and won't stop you."
"Okay!" Mei Wen'er, accompanied by Ye Chenfeng, immediately went to Jingzhao Mansion again.
When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Mei was still waiting. The three of them immediately reviewed the whole incident and did not return to the Prince's Mansion.
The next day, Mei Wen'er, who had not slept all night, put on court clothes for Ye Chenfeng for the first time, and was very worried, "Your Majesty..."
"It's okay. You just wait at home. If necessary, I will order Guan Feng to pick you up. Don't believe a word of what others say. Do you understand?" Ye Chenfeng warned.
"Yes!" Mei Wen'er solemnly agreed, "I understand!"
"Okay." Ye Chenfeng hugged his young wife and placed a kiss on her forehead, "Remember! Don't believe anyone's message, and don't leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will make other arrangements."
"Yes." Mei Wen'er agreed again and hugged the man's narrow waist tightly.
Ye Chenfeng was not in a hurry to leave, and kept caressing his little wife's back with his long and broad hands.
When the boy in front of Mei Xiang came to urge him, Ye Chenfeng let go of the little woman in his arms and said, "Wait for me to return home."
After saying that, Ye Chenfeng turned around and left without looking back! He was casual but firm.
Mei Wen'er didn't chase her out, she did everything she could. Now she just waits for Yun Zhong to find out the source of the incense and identify the real culprit!
…
In the Ziji Palace, the emperor, who was wearing a crown and imperial uniform, looked down at the courtiers below him and listened to the eunuch in front of the palace singing: "If you have something to do, leave the court if there is nothing to do -"
"My lord, I have something to report!"
"My lord, something has happened!"
"..."
Several ministers, including Prime Minister Mei, spoke out at the same time.
Among them was Liu Wu, the great general of the Shenwu Army.
The emperor immediately said, "My dear friends, don't be anxious, come one by one."
When Liu Wu heard this, he immediately came out and said, "I have..."
"How outrageous!" Mei Xiang snapped solemnly, "I am the head of hundreds of officials, so what I report is a top priority! How dare you, a mere third-grade martial artist, rush to report the matter before me!?"
Liu Wu was stunned, "I..."
"Okay! Shut up and step back, Your Majesty! If you have anything you want, please inform me in advance."
Mei Xiang, who showed his majesty as the leader of officials for the first time, directly scolded Liu Wu.
This was also the first step of the countermeasures he and Ye Chenfeng discussed, but——
"Ha!" Zhao Yushi from the Yushitai sneered: "Mei Xiang has great official power! Your Majesty, I want to impeach Mei Chongwen for relying on his old age and neglecting his old age! The current government bullies the younger generation to have a late birth!"
"It's ridiculous! Isn't Prime Minister Mei too gentle on weekdays, so that you have all forgotten that Prime Minister Mei is the head of all officials! When going to court, if there is any court incident, Prime Minister Mei should be the first to report it! This is a courtesy!"
Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came out.
"You..." Zhao Yushi was about to retort.
However, Prime Minister Mei had already reported directly, "Your Majesty, yesterday! Thirty murder cases broke out in our capital city of Gyeongsang Province! Among them, nine were cases of tenants hanging themselves, and 21 were cases of traffickers hanging themselves in prison. They were bizarre and terrifying!
Fools have spread rumors in the capital that this is a sign of great misfortune! I was so frightened that I asked the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor to watch the stars all night and check the papers, but I found that the previous court was talking nonsense! They actually said that this was a sign of the emperor's unkindness!"
