Chapter 935: Imperial Doctor Liang committed suicide
When Imperial Doctor Liang went back, he didn’t go around. He went straight back to his house.
The two people who followed Imperial Doctor Liang met in the alley outside Liang’s mansion: “He seems to have found us.”
“Someone handed him a letter when he was in the teahouse. I’ll keep staring at him here. You go back to the palace and report to the prince.”
After Imperial Doctor Liang returned to the mansion, he never came out again. Everything was normal in the Liang Family Mansion. There were no abnormalities.
But who knows, the next day morning, the Liang Family Mansion suddenly became chaotic.
Imperial Doctor Liang committed suicide, leaving only a letter.
When Bai Zhi received the news, she was also taken aback: “Suicide?” She raised an eyebrow and swept her eyes to Dongfang Mu, who was eating at the same table.
Dongfang Mu nodded his head: “I originally wanted to dig out some clues from him, but now his line is broken.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “How can a person like Imperial Doctor Liang commit suicide? There are certain problems in this case.”
Dongfang Mu said: “Imperial Doctor Liang naturally will not commit suicide. There are many suspicious points about his death, but the people in the Yamen have already settled the case, and even the corpse is going to be cremated immediately.”
Bai Zhi was astonished in shock: “They will cremate the body without properly investigating the case? He is an imperial doctor, how could they end this matter quickly without understanding the case?”
Dongfang Mu sighed, put down the bowl in his hand, looked at the table full of food, but he no longer has the appetite.
“The minister of punishment gave the emperor a plea for a strict investigation of the case, but the emperor ignored him. However, he approved the plea of the Yamen to close the case and cremated the body of Imperial Doctor Liang immediately.”
Bai Zhi put her bowl on the table with a ‘pop’ and raised her voice: “What is wrong with the emperor? How could he close the case so hastily? Isn’t this helping the tyrant?”
Dongfang Mu said: “The emperor has no intention of helping the tyrant, but he is dedicated to protecting his son. He knows in his heart that this matter has something to do with Chu Feng. If he wants to help his son, what else could he do?”
“No wonder Chu Feng is so arrogant and domineering. It all because of his father. Let’s wait and see, how he will deal with Chu Feng once everything becomes a mess.”
Dongfang Mu said: “Let’s wait and see? I’m afraid you will see it soon.”
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow: “What does Grandfather mean?”
Dongfang Mu sighed and said, “Do you think the matter of Jin Country is over? That Prince of Jin is very dissatisfied with our Chu Kingdom. Before returning home this time, he discussed with the emperor to send 5000 soldiers to escort him back. The emperor agreed. However, that same day, the empress dowager fell ill. The emperor asked the minister of rites to take over the matter. But who knows what happened to the minister of rites, he wrote the 500 soldiers instead of 5000. The emperor was worried about the empress dowager’s illness so he didn’t reread the decree and simply stamped it with the imperial seal. Therefore, the number of the soldiers who sent the prince and the princess back to the Jin Country is only 500.”
Bai Zhi doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Such a mistake can also happen? Only 500 soldiers escorted back the prince and princess. If they encounter tough bandits on the road, what can these 500 soldiers do to fight back? If the other countries deliberately attack, whatever happened to the brother and sister, the Chu Country will pay a big price.”
“Who said no? I also persuaded the emperor to increase the troops by 5000, but the emperor wanted to save his face. He refused to increase the troops. Well, everything is done, I don’t know where the prince and princess of the Jin Kingdom are now.” Dongfang Mu Tao.
The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. So she said: “But how could the minister of rites make such a low-level mistake? I think there is something strange about this matter.”
