The palace!

When Emperor Jianshi learned that Nanshan Hou had died suddenly due to fear and panic, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Sun Daoning bowed slightly, thinking that the emperor would be very pleased when he reacted.

Unexpectedly, with a bang, Emperor Jianshi kicked over the eunuch who was serving on the side.

The eunuch rolled on the ground twice, knelt down immediately to plead guilty, and kept saying death penalty!

Sun Daoning was stunned!

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The eunuch Wang Defa hurriedly comforted Emperor Jianshi, "Your Majesty, don't get angry. The imperial physician said that your Majesty should nourish his energy and not be too happy or angry!"

Emperor Jianshi took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Is he really dead?"

Sun Daoning hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I personally examined the body, and the coroner was also present at the time. It is confirmed that he is dead. The roof of the Tianlao prison collapsed last night, and hundreds of prisoners needed to be transferred to prisons. The scene was in chaos. If we don't check it for a while, it will be too late when we find it. I am not good at taking care of it, please punish me!"

At this moment, he was completely unsure of the emperor's thoughts.

If it was to vent his anger, shouldn't he be happy that the person died? Why is he so angry?

If it wasn't to vent his anger, why did he arrest people? Why did he search the ancestral graves?

I can't figure it out!

Too many things I can't figure out!

Emperor Jianshi was furious, his face gloomy, "I gave him to you to look after, and you looked after him like this. Sun Daoning, how did Nanshan Hou die?"

"Your Majesty, every word I said is true, I dare not lie! Please understand! Another thing, Nanshan Hou is nothing special, no one is targeting him at all. He really scared himself to death. He was timid, and there was an accident in the prison. I don't know what he was thinking, and he was suffocated to death."

Sun Daoning argued vigorously. Resolutely prevent the emperor from blaming the Ministry of Justice for the death of Nanshan Hou.

If a person wants to die, no one can stop him!

"Waste! All of them are waste!"

Emperor Jianshi flicked his sleeves, swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground, and cursed.

Sun Daoning looked at Wang Defa secretly, hoping to get some useful hints.

But Wang Defa looked at him with his eyes and nose, and didn't respond to him at all, not even an eye contact.

When Emperor Jianshi had almost vented his anger, Wang Defa stepped forward and gently persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Nanshan Marquis has always been as timid as a mouse and can't stand being frightened. It's not surprising that he was frightened to death. Minister Sun and the Ministry of Justice were also in trouble. Please forgive them, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianshi snorted coldly and pointed at Sun Daoning's nose. He wanted to call him a fool. But then he thought that the Minister of Justice was an important official of the court, a role model for officials in the world. He should not be insulted easily! It might cause strong dissatisfaction among the court officials.

He swallowed the stupid words, "Have you found out why the Tianlao prison collapsed?"

"Your Majesty, preliminary investigations show that there are thieves who are so bold as to rob the prison."

"Jail rob! Jail rob again! How many jail robs happen in Tianlao throughout the year. It's just a waste! That guy, the one with the surname Chen, isn't he very capable, why does jail rob happen?"

"Your Majesty, yesterday was the fifteenth, Chen Guanlou was not on duty. The jail rob happened when he was not on duty. Please forgive me, there is only a thief who can't be on guard against thieves the day before. No one wants such a thing to happen."

"Humph!" Emperor Jianshi originally wanted to take action against the people in Tianlao. After learning that the person in charge of Tianlao was Chen Guanlou, he changed his mind. A ninth-rank warrior was willing to work hard for the court and worked diligently. He couldn't let him down. He couldn't let down the hearts of warriors all over the world.

He wanted Chen Guanlou to set an example and let all warriors know how the court treated warriors. I hope more warriors will join the army, fight for the court, and charge into battle.

"Investigate! Investigate hard! We must find out who is so bold as to dare to break into the prison in the capital on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Lawless! It is simply lawless. When did the public security in the capital become so chaotic? What are the Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi doing? The thieves have infiltrated the capital, didn't they find out? Order the two yamen to strictly check the people entering and leaving the capital, and make sure to find out the lawless elements hiding in the capital."

Wang Defa received the order and summoned the eunuch to pass the order.

Sun Daoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the emperor does not hold the Ministry of Justice responsible alone, everything will be fine. Pulling the Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi into the water is just what he wants.

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, should we continue to investigate the case of Nanshan Marquis's mansion? Will his family members continue to be detained or be relocated?"

Emperor Jianshi looked exhausted and pounded the table hard, "What are we still investigating? How can we investigate when the people are dead? Let them go, let them go!"

"As you command!"

Nanshan Marquis used his life to exchange for the safety of his family, and Chen Guanlou was right.

That is, the emperor's reaction is not right.

I can't figure it out!

...

Chen Guanlou hadn't waited for the Ministry of Justice to tell him how to deal with Nanshan Marquis's body and who to notify to collect the body. Instead, he waited for the eunuchs in the palace.

Chen Guanlou:...

Is he going to whip the corpse again?

He suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. The breakfast he had eaten early in the morning was rebelling in his stomach.

It took a lot of effort and difficulty to suppress the uncomfortable feeling.

"Greetings, eunuchs. What brings you to the prison?"

"We heard that Nanshan Hou died suddenly. The palace ordered us to come and take a look. You are Chen Yucheng, lead the way."

The three eunuchs and four palace guards were all strangers. I had never seen any of them before.

Chen Guanlou wanted to greet the other party and build some rapport, but the other party had a serious face.

There was no other way, so he led the way.

Secretly notify the jailer to call Doctor Mu and Old Zhang.

Since it was an autopsy, the coroner and the doctor must be present.

He personally led the group to the morgue.

He really didn't want to come to this place, but he had to.

It would be better if it wasn't for whipping the corpse.

Otherwise, he would definitely curse Emperor Jianshi to die a bad death, and give birth to a son without an asshole.

Among the three eunuchs, there was actually a master coroner. As soon as they entered the morgue, they started to examine the body.

Fortunately, Old Zhang and Doctor Mu arrived in time.

Let professionals communicate about professional matters.

Chen Guanlou stood outside the door and talked with several palace guards.

Guards were easier to talk to than eunuchs, after all, they were normal people, not abnormal.

After talking for a while, he didn't get any useful information. The guards knew too little and were not clear about the inside story. They just received an order to go to the prison. Only three eunuchs knew what to do.

Chen Guanlou was worried.

Sun Daoning's efficiency was very poor. He did not send anyone to inform him about the situation of entering the palace to meet the emperor, and why the palace suddenly sent people to the prison to check the body of Nanshan Marquis.

Could it be that there was something strange about the body of Nanshan Marquis.

"If he died of suffocation, why did the report say that he died suddenly due to panic and fear."

"Reporting to this eunuch, when Nanshan Marquis was found dead suddenly, his mouth and nose were tightly covered by the quilt, and his hands were hanging by his side. It is consistent with suicide. Because suicide is not nice, it was changed to death due to panic and fear."
