Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 131 How did he die?

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo returned to the mansion with a serious look on his face and sat in the hall to calm down his somewhat fluctuating mood.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo never expected that Cui Yongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and others were confiscated and exterminated by Dongchang. It was actually because of the death of Taishi Wen Zhong in the four northwest prefectures that Dongchang found out.

And it was also found on the Boling Cui family.

Now there's trouble.

If the Bolingcui family cannot resist the power of the imperial court and involves them all, then they will probably be suppressed by the decree from the palace just like the Bolingcui family.

"It's so damned."

"How could the people from Dongchang find out about the Bolingcui family?"

"The Bolingcui family are too careless."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo thought with a gloomy look on his face. He had already reminded Cui Yongyuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, that the Cui family must be cleaned up from head to tail.

What I'm afraid of is that someone in the palace will find out some clues.

But I didn't expect that something went wrong in the end, and someone in the palace found out about the Cui family.

However, these are no longer what Prime Minister Yuan Bo should consider now. What Prime Minister Yuan Bo should consider now is how to deal with the next situation.

If the Bolingcui family really involves them, what should they do?

This is the most important thing.

"master."

At this time, the housekeeper walked in with a hurried look.

When Prime Minister Yuan Bo saw the butler coming in, he immediately raised his head and looked at the butler; "How?"

"Is the matter done?" Prime Minister Yuan Bo asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, sir, the matter has been settled." The housekeeper nodded and said softly.

When Prime Minister Yuan Bo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It'll be fine once things are done.

Now that the current crisis has been resolved, the next thing to consider is the Bolingcui family.

"Where are the people?"

"No traces were left, there must have been some accident!"

Prime Minister Yuan Bo glanced at the housekeeper and asked again.

The housekeeper shook his head; "No, people have already taken care of it and left no trace. Even if Dongchang wanted to check, they wouldn't be able to find anything."

"That's good."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo then nodded with confidence and said to the housekeeper, "Immediately send a message back to the clan regarding the Boling Cui family's affairs, so that the clan can respond carefully."

The Boling Cui family was ordered to confiscate the family and exterminate the family. It was such a big deal that Prime Minister Yuan Bo had to inform the family immediately.

Let the clan be prepared for unexpected events.

As soon as Prime Minister Yuan Bo finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared in the hall.

"Sir, there is urgent news coming."

The black shadow said and handed a small note in his hand to Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

"Urgent news?"

When Prime Minister Yuan Bo heard this, he immediately took the small piece of paper from Heiying's hand, opened it and glanced at it.

There is only one sentence on the small note.

But with this short sentence, Prime Minister Yuan Bo lost his usual composure and stood up directly.

"The Boling Cui family has been destroyed by the Shenwuwei army led by Lu Bu."

What?

The Bolingcui family has been destroyed by Lu Bu and his army?

Seeing these words, Prime Minister Yuan Bo's expression changed, and he couldn't believe the content on the note.

The Boling Cui family had actually been destroyed by Lu Bu and his army of divine guards.

How can this be?

The man in the palace just issued the decree, how could the Bolingcui family be wiped out in one fell swoop?

For a moment, Prime Minister Yuan Bo seemed to have thought of something.

It seems that the person in the palace has already given a secret order to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu to lead the Shenwu Guard army to destroy the Boling Cui family.

This morning's meeting was just a formality.

What a good idea.

The person in the palace actually hid it from everyone.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo thought with an ugly expression.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo did not expect that the Boling Cui family would be destroyed by Lu Bu and the Shenwu Guard army.

It's really a bit shocking.

In any case, the Boling Cui family is one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although it is not as good as the Yuan family of Prime Minister Yuan Bo, it is still deeply rooted in the Great Zhou Dynasty and cannot be underestimated.

How could Lu Bu be killed so easily?

Prime Minister Yuan Bo's eyes flashed gloomily.

Now that the Bolingcui family has been destroyed by Lu Bu, did the Bolingcui family tell Lu Bu any news?

Or did Lu Bu pry out anything useful from the mouths of Bolingcui's family?

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Yuan Bo immediately said to the black shadow: "Let people go and investigate immediately. I want to know whether all the Bolingcui family members were killed by Lu Bu."

"Also, has anyone from the Bolingcui family said anything that shouldn't be said?"

"Everything needs to be investigated."

This is what Prime Minister Yuan Bo is most concerned about and worried about.

If the Bolingcui family told Lu Bu any news, or if Lu Bu opened the mouths of the Bolingcui family, it would be troublesome.

Hearing this, the black shadow immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

When the Prime Minister's Mansion received the news that the Boling Cui family had been annihilated by Lu Bu and his army, Zhou Chen also received it.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, looking at the message that Cao Zhengchun had just handed over in his hand, the corner of his mouth curled up.

Zhou Chen has always been worried about whether Lu Bu can successfully annihilate the nine Boling Cui clans!

After all, a first-class wealthy family like the Bolingcui family is not simple. It has a deep foundation and many private soldiers.

If something goes wrong, it could cause quite a chaos.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly for Lu Bu, so Zhou Chen could breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Chen put down the news in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Cao Zhengchun; "Lü Bu has already killed the Boling Cui family, but he has gained nothing."

"Where are you?"

"What was the outcome of the interrogation?"

"Can Cui Yongyuan give an explanation?"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked.

Cao Zhengchun said immediately, "I would like to report to the Emperor that Cui Yongyuan is very tight-lipped and has not spoken yet."

"However, under the torture of Dongchang, I probably won't be able to hold on for long."

"But the other people knew nothing about the Cui family's murder of the Grand Master. They only found out some other things about the Cui family through interrogation."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Cao Zhengchun took out an interrogation record and sent it to Zhou Chen.

No one could persevere under Dongchang's torture.

It's just a matter of time before you open your mouth.

It's just morning and evening.

Zhou Chen took the interrogation record from Cao Zhengchun's hand and glanced at it slightly, not showing much interest.

Now that the Boling Cui family has been wiped out by Lu Bu, it is no longer meaningful to interrogate these things from the Cui family.

At this time, a house guard came in, quietly came to Cao Zhengchun's side, and whispered something in Cao Zhengchun's ear.

After the chamberlain and factory guard finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun's face suddenly darkened.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Cao Zhengchun's strange changes did not escape Zhou Chen's perception.

Zhou Chen put down the interrogation record in his hand, glanced at Cao Zhengchun and asked.

"Your Majesty, the factory guards just came to report that Cui Yongyuan and the officials who were arrested are all dead."

"Died in Dongchang Prison."

Cao Zhengchun hesitated and said carefully.

"oh?"

"Are Cui Yongyuan and the officials who were arrested dead?"

"And they all died in the prison in Dongchang?"

When Zhou Chen heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment and felt a little surprised.

"How did you die?"

"Is the torture excessive, or did someone break into your Dongchang Prison?"

Zhou Chen frowned and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the torture should not be excessive."

"The factory guard doesn't know the specific situation."

Cao Zhengchun said bravely, feeling a little weak.

In the dignified Dongchang Prison, the felon incarcerated died, and the prison guard did not know the specific situation.

This is really unbelievable.

"The factory guard doesn't know either?"

Zhou Chen's brows furrowed even more tightly, he raised his eyes and looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "It's really not easy for someone to kill people without anyone noticing in your prison in Dongchang!"

"Go deal with it!"

"Let's see what's going on."

Zhou Chen said calmly to Cao Zhengchun.

If the torture was not excessive, then someone could only have killed Cui Yongyuan and those officials.

Someone could kill people in the prison of Dongchang without knowing it. Even the factory guards didn't know what was going on. This really surprised Zhou Chen.

The factory guards were all signed in by Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen would never doubt their loyalty.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun responded, turned around and left the Yangxin Hall with a gloomy look.

…

Dongchang.

In a cell.

Cao Zhengchun looked at the bruised corpse in front of him with a gloomy expression.

This corpse is none other than that of Cui Yongyuan, Minister of Industry.

Now, Cui Yongyuan is dead. The wounds all over his body show that Cui Yongyuan was tortured before his death.

On the surface, it looked like he was fatally injured, but in fact, the scars all over his body were not fatal.

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the scars on Cui Yongyuan's body and glanced at the factory guards behind him.

"Tell the Za family what's going on?"

"How can a person die if he is locked up in a prison?"

"These injuries are not fatal, but the person died. Can you tell me what happened?"

Cao Zhengchun said softly.

"Mr. Factory, we don't know what's going on."

"By the time we find out, the person will be dead."

A factory guard spoke up.

"Yes! Mr. Factory, no outsiders have entered except us."

Another factory guard spoke up.

"Trash, what you mean is that he died from excessive torture."

"Look at the injuries on his body. They are not fatal at all. Someone obviously killed him with his hands."

"You know nothing."

"bump."

Cao Zhengchun waved his hand, and several factory guards were swept away directly. They fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Mr. Factory, spare my life. Everything my subordinates said is true."

"There really are no outsiders entering, they are all people from the factory."

Several factory guards got up and spoke hurriedly.

They all know the temper of this factory owner, he can kill without blinking an eye.

If they explain clearly, their lives will have to stay in this cell today.

"Are you sure no outsiders have entered?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at several factory guards and asked.

"Sure."

"Mr. Factory, we are sure no outsiders have entered."

Several factory guards immediately affirmed that they had been stationed there all along and that no outsiders had entered except for people inside the factory.

If an outsider had entered, they wouldn't have known about it.

After hearing the words of several factory guards, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but frown.

No outsiders have entered?

How can this be?

With Cao Zhengchun's eyesight, he could naturally see that Cui Yongyuan's death was not due to excessive injuries.

It was obvious that someone had taken advantage of Cui Yongyuan's severe injuries and took the opportunity to kill Cui Yongyuan.

Although it was done very cleverly, it could not be hidden from Cao Zhengchun's eyes.

But Cao Zhengchun also believed that it was impossible for these factory guards to lie to him.

Besides, there are so many factory guards at the Dongchang station. If an outsider really enters, there is no way they wouldn’t know about it.

But now, all this cannot be explained at all!

Even if a strong man who is half a step above heaven enters the Dongchang station and kills more than ten people like Cui Yongyuan at the same time, it is impossible for him to avoid being discovered by the factory guards.

"Think about it carefully and see if there are any omissions."

Cao Zhengchun didn't believe that no outsiders had entered.

If no outsiders have entered, then only those within them have.

But this was even more impossible. These factory guards, like him, were loyal to the emperor and could not do such a thing.

Cao Zhengchun kept thinking in his heart.

I considered various possibilities, but in the end they were all ruled out by Cao Zhengchun.

When several factory guards heard Cao Zhengchun's words, they all thought about it carefully.

After a while.

One of the factory guards thought of something and immediately said to Cao Zhengchun, "Mr. Factory, I remembered that something was wrong with the three commanders yesterday. They seemed a little unfamiliar with the station after they returned."

"I even asked him why he didn't know the way when he went out!"

Another factory guard seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said, "Yes, it's the third commander. Yesterday, the third commander personally interrogated the prisoners, and his behavior was very strange. He didn't seem to know us colleagues."

As soon as the two factory guards said this, a light suddenly flashed in Cao Zhengchun's eyes.

I understand what's going on.

Someone, Li Daitao, sneaked into the Dongchang station!

No wonder the factory guards inside said that no outsiders had entered. It turned out that this was the problem.

"What a great trick!"

"You actually dare to act like a Tao Zong and let yourself run wild in my east factory. It's really good."

A fierce glint flashed in Cao Zhengchun's eyes, and he glanced coldly at the factory guards in front of him, "You are such trash. You can let Li Daitao sneak in without even knowing it."

"Why don't you hurry up and let the Zajia check it out."

"Let's see who dares to sneak into our east factory and kill people with such audacity."

Cao Zhengchun said gloomily.

His majestic Dongchang station, Dongchang's lair, actually let people sneak in quietly, damn it.

"Yes, Mr. Factory."

Several factory guards quickly took the order, stood up and left.

This was a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Otherwise, they were really afraid that Cao Zhengchun would kill them with one strike.

After several factory guards left, Cao Zhengchun snorted with a gloomy expression.

"snort."

"If you dare to come to the Zajia's East Factory and kill people from the Zajia, no matter who you are, the Zajia will definitely let you taste the torture of the Dongchang."

Cao Zhengchun muttered to himself, turned around and walked out of the cell.
