This was a good explanation why someone from the Yin family cooperated.

Jiang Lin: "The second prince's plan is very wide, and his ambition is too big. He wants to win over all the civil and military officials of the dynasty."

Wei Yunzhao said: "Dig your own grave, that person will not allow it. "

With no other princes in the court to fight with him, the second prince thought he could do whatever he wanted.

"So, let's just add a fire to him and let him burn up." The fire on the Wei mansion didn't cause much damage, but it was not necessarily if the one that burned on was the second prince.

Jiang Lin raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.

"Hey, I heard that the quarry outside Shengjing is haunted."

"Haunted, how can it be haunted?"

"Is it the quarry that was struck by lightning not long ago?"

"Exactly, the lightning killed hundreds of people, I'm afraid they died unwillingly, and the vengeful spirits are causing trouble, so they come back and make trouble."

"That's impossible, isn't this lightning strike Heavens' intention? Heavens wants you to die and still want to cause trouble for grievances?"

"If it's really true Heavens' intention, then of course we can't complain, but what if it's not the case?

Soon there were rumors in Shengjing that the haunting of the quarry was caused by wronged spirits. If the grievances were not redressed, they might turn into ghosts and endanger the whole of Shengjing and even Dayue.

The rumors became more and more widespread, and many people even said that they heard someone shouting grievances in their ears when they were sleeping at night, causing panic for a while.

When the incident came to the court, the officials who went to investigate the scene swore that they were struck to death by lightning, and there was absolutely no grievance. Someone must have spread rumors with the intention of harming Dayue.

However, some people thought that it was unjustifiable that so many people were killed by a single lightning strike, and they demanded a re-investigation of the case, and pushed Dali temple out, thinking that this matter was of great importance and should be handed over to Dali temple for re- investigation.

This rumor was not just about being haunted, there was another problem. A lightning strike killed so many people, maybe it was a punishment from heaven, because the emperor was a foolish king.Those ants and insects were a warning before, but the emperor still didn't change himself, which angered the Heavens.

Emperor Changde would never admit that he was foolish, he would get angry when he was foolish before, let alone now that he was sober, he would rather believe that someone had tampered with the quarry.

Emperor Changde ordered the matter to be handed over to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation.

And Yin Ji, the high ranking official of Dali Temple, stood up and reported another matter, "Report to the emperor, Chen have something to show to the emperor."

Emperor Changde glanced at him, "Show it."

Yin Ji said: "

Chen recently received several petitions, suing the governor of Shengjing, Zhao Shichuan, for disregarding human life, not accepting the case, and ordering the government servants to beat people. "

Yin Ji took out the petitions, and Gan Yongfu came down to take it and presented it in front of Emperor Changde.

Emperor Changde flipped through the petitions, the handwriting of each petition was different, but the things they said were similar, they all went to the government office to report the case, but the government office refused to accept it and asked the government servants to beat them out.The reported cases were all missing family members, and they couldn't find them everywhere, so they went to the government office to report the cases.

After reading the petitions, Emperor Changde's face turned cold, "Announce to Zhao Shichuan."

Thesecond prince secretly yelled that it was not good, whether it was to re-investigate the quarry or Zhao Shichuan's unfavorable work would affect him, the second prince glared at Yin Ji meaning mind your own business.

Yin Ji stepped back and stood upright.

Emperor Changde was not happy, the civil and military officials of him didn't even dare to speak loudly, and the guilty person broke out in a cold sweat.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Shichuan finally arrived. He didn't receive any news on the way, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.After the bowing ceremony, Emperor Changde directly threw the petitions in front of him.

Zhao Shichuan picked it up and looked at it, and he was in a cold sweat. He didn't expect these unscrupulous people to sue him.

Zhao Shichuan hurriedly defended himself, "Your Majesty, these were all from troublesome people. I ordered people to check their homes and found that no one was missing, but these people kept saying that someone was missing, which seriously hindered me from handling the other cases. This was the reason why I had no choice but to let the government servants drove them away, please the emperor to investigate clearly."

Emperor Changde named Yin Ji, and Yin Ji stood up again, "Your Majesty, I also checked after receiving the petitions, and what these people said is true. Someone in their family is indeed missing, and I also saw with my own eyes a commoner who went to the government office to report the case was beaten out by the government servants. I remember the appearance of the government servants who beat the commoner, so I can call people who were beaten to confront those government servants in the court."

Yin Ji dared to say such a thing in front of the civil and military officials and even the emperor in the court hall. Naturally, no one doubted that what he said was false.

The ministers' gazes on Zhao Shichuan were either disappointed or proud, and there were many others who were looking forward to the show.

The second prince also gave Zhao Shichuan a hard look, calling him an idiot in his heart, it was useless to dare to act like this just after taking the position the Governor of Shengjing.

The second prince thought in his heart, even if he pretended to deal with the matter and procrastinated, it would be better than driving people away, such an idiot was really useless.

The second prince was about to stand up and take the initiative to participate in Zhao Shichuan, but Zhao Shichuan suddenly opened his mouth to defend himself, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, and I really ordered people to investigate. No one is missing from these families, and I have never ordered the government servants to beat people, please let the emperor to inspect."
