Chapter 100 A Shocking Investigation

The lights in Zhao Prison were brightly lit, and the shouts were heard constantly, mixed into the wind, and could be heard from a distance. The screams were accompanied by the footsteps of Jin Yiwei, which made people shudder when they heard them.

There was still some distance from Zhao Prison, the sky was dark and clouds were rolling in, and it looked like it was going to rain again. Zhao was helpless and had to speed up, hoping to arrive before the rain fell.

After walking for a while, the fire of Zhao Prison was already in front of him, so Zhao quickly walked a few steps and walked into the gate of Zhao Prison.

"Master Zhao is here..."

The guard at the door came up to say hello. Zhao smiled and nodded slightly in response. He walked through the gate and saw Lu Wenyu standing in the open space looking at the sky downstairs.

"Fifth Master, why do you have such leisure?" Zhao bowed his hands and greeted Lu Wenyu with a smile.

"We're reviewing inside. I'm bored, so I came out to enjoy the wind and look at the moonlight. I didn't expect to see the moonlight, but I looked at the dark clouds all over." Lu Wenyu came to his senses after hearing the sound, and waved his hand back.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and Zhao and Lu Wenyu were no longer in the mood to catch wind, and walked to the cell one after another.

Jinyiwei spent a whole day arresting people, and the cell that was originally 70% to 80% empty was actually filled to the brim. The two approached the execution room, where two small flags were driving a servant to the cell. When they saw the two approaching, they stopped and bowed respectfully.

"Master Lu, Master Zhao, brothers are currently interrogating me. If you two adults don't go up to check the room, etc., the confession will be submitted soon."

Sensible! Lu Wenyu glanced at Zhao Jiu in surprise. He was quite happy that his subordinates knew how to handle things. So he waved his hand to signal Xiaoqi to continue working, and he walked in with Zhao.

In the execution room, Yu Jielin was sorting out the confession, his face so dark that he almost shed tears. He didn't know whether he should submit this confession. Just as he was thinking over and over again, Lu Wenyu led Zhao into the execution room and asked softly with a smile.

"Jie Lin, how's the interrogation going? Did you get anything out of the barbarian assassin's mouth?"

Yu Jielin, who was bowing his head at the desk, was startled when he heard Lu Wenyu's voice, stood up hurriedly, and shook his head helplessly.

"Fifth Master, you don't know if you don't investigate. Once you investigate, you will be shocked. This investigation found sixteen Hu assassins, and they are still being interrogated, but the others..."

Lu Wenyu came to the table, picked up the confession on the table, and looked at it by the light. Yu Jielin didn't bother him, made way for Lu Wenyu to sit down, and explained in a low voice.

"Fifth Master, these officials are not shielding, they are just embezzling and accepting bribes...whose ass is not clean? A small member of the Communist Party of China found 70,000 taels of silver in his home, and the others... only more Quite a few..."

Zhao, who was standing with his arms folded, became more and more surprised the more he listened, that was tens of thousands of taels of silver. I only got one thousand taels to kill a third-grade silver. For 70,000 taels, I had to kill seventy third-grade silver.

Damn it, I have become a poor man!

Lu Wenyu, who had just sat down and hadn't read the entire page of the confession, listened quietly, the expression on his face getting worse and worse. By the time Jie Lin finished speaking, his face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't even bother to read the confession anymore.

Lu Wenyu sighed helplessly. He had thought about the corruption of these Beijing officials, but he didn't dare to think about being so greedy. Seventy thousand taels of silver, even a fifth-grade Yuanwailang had never made so much money in his two lifetimes!

"Oh, it's not easy for the country. We have to raise these moths." Lu Wenyu sighed helplessly and slowly put down the thin confession in his hand. Things had accidentally developed to this point, and he had no good solution.

"Let's interrogate those barbarian assassins first, and let the corrupt ones go first." Lu Wenyu rubbed his eyes, his voice was soft and bitter.

"Okay, then I'll go over and keep an eye on it first." Now that he had knocked on the board, Yu Jielin no longer hesitated, bowed his hands and walked out.

Lu Wenyu and Zhao were the only ones left in the execution room, staring at each other with their own concerns and saying nothing. Lu Wenyu felt bitter in his heart. He really didn't want to cause more trouble in this troubled time. He just wanted to get over this hurdle and free up his hands to investigate again. Zhao on the other hand was full of envy. These people must be ruthless in making money. What kind of hard life had he lived in the past?

After thinking about it, Zhao also wanted to make progress, "Fifth Master, how about... you also get me a member of the Yuanwai Lang Dangdang? Don't get me wrong, I just want to show my ambition and realize my knowledge."

Lu Wenyu's mouth twitched. Do you want to make progress? Want to show your ambition? You kid is just jealous! I don't even want to expose your little thoughts.

"Stop making trouble. Who did you learn these words from? You're still making progress. Do you want me to take off this python robe and let you wear it?"

"The relationship is good, if..." Zhao subconsciously picked up on it. Seeing Lu Wenyu's expression change, he quickly shut up and stopped talking. He smiled before trying to make amends for himself.

"Although there is nothing wrong with Yuan Wai Lang, Jin Yiwei means more to me. Don't worry, Fifth Master, I'm just thinking about it, hehe."

Lu Wenyu looked much better after hearing Zhao Jiu's glib talk. He said lightly, "You are quite clever," and then continued to read the confession, ignoring Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu also wisely kept his mouth shut and stood aside as a mute.

The execution room became quiet for a while, with only the rustle of Lu Wenyu flipping papers and the constant shrill screams coming from outside, making the entire execution room atmosphere a little strange.

The two of them were quiet for a quarter of an hour, until Lu Wenyu finished reading the confession, raised his head, flexed his neck, and asked in a lack of interest, "Mu Zhi, in your opinion, are the Hu assassins in the capital clean?"

"How can we clean it up? It's just a deterrent. It's hard to clean it up!" Zhao said everything in his heart, his tone was neither happy nor sad. It was none of his business anyway, so he said it boldly.

"Yeah, it's difficult!" Lu Wenyu stood up helplessly and paced with his hands behind his back.

The two were silent when Yu Jielin pushed the door open and respectfully placed a stack of confessions on the table, saying respectfully, "Fifth Master, the assassins have been interrogated. There is nothing nutritious. They are almost the same as the assassins' confessions the day before yesterday. Do you want to... continue the interrogation?"

"Interrogation! Continue the interrogation!" Lu Wenyu turned around and said decisively, without even looking at the confessions on the table, but just tapping the table with his fingers.

Yu Jielin nodded, turned around and went out to tell his men. Lu Wenyu stared at the confessions on the table, without saying a word, with a heavy expression on his face.

After a while, Lu Wenyu seemed to remember something, and looked up and said to Zhao, "The young marquis has been detained for a day, so let him go tomorrow. The same goes for Nuanxiang Pavilion. There is no need to waste our time on these irrelevant people."

Lu Wenyu thought for a while, and then asked, "Is Wang Liqing awake?"

"He is dead. The assassin poisoned the knife. He died before dawn yesterday." Zhao answered truthfully.

Lu Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

"Poor man."

"You and Jie Lin keep an eye on it. Don't let the confessions of those officials leak out. I will bring the confessions to the palace to meet the emperor."
