Chapter 812 814【What you deserve】
Meng Qinghe followed Mr. Li into the palace to get the silver. As soon as he entered the palace, he was overwhelmed by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Hey, what is this for, what is this for?" He panicked.
"Meng Qinghe, you are so courageous to sell fake medicinal materials to the palace!" At this time, the official of the Ministry of Punishment walked out, "Now that the evidence is solid, do you still dare to deny it?"
"I'm wronged, I'm wronged, my lord, all my medicines are good medicines, if you don't believe me, ask Mr. Xilailexi." Meng Qinghe denied it.
"Meng Qinghe, don't worry, I'm right here." Xiang Nan came out and said, "My lord, 90% of the medicinal materials Meng Qinghe sent are fake.
Pig skin is used as bird’s nest, platycodon is used as ginseng, pig’s gall is used as bear’s gall, and yellow ox horn is used as rhinoceros horn... I have checked it clearly and there is absolutely no falsehood. "
"Meng Qinghe, what else do you have to say?" The official of the Ministry of Punishment stared at Meng Qinghe coldly and said.
"Xi Lai Le, you are cheating on me!" At this point, Meng Qingha still didn't understand that Xiang Nan had set him up, and immediately cursed in anger.
"Meng Qinghe, you bullied the market in Cangzhou, manufactured and sold counterfeit goods, and killed countless people. Today is the day when you have such retribution." Xiang Nan said coldly, "I only hate that it was too late to deceive you."
"Xi Lai Le, you will die!" Meng Qinghe continued to curse.
"Meng Qinghe, you have killed so many people. If there is retribution in the world, you will be the first one to get retribution." Xiang Nan scolded unceremoniously, "My lord, as far as I know, Meng Qinghe has consulted with a famous doctor in the capital many times. There is also Goulian. You have to do a good job of judging and catch a few more big fish."
"Don't worry, if it falls into the hands of our Ministry of Criminal Justice, we can even interrogate how old he is without wetting the bed." The official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice sneered.
Meng Qing couldn't help being shocked when he heard it together.
Although he has never been to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he also knows that it is a place where killing does not pay for life, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "My lord, spare your life, spare your life!"
"Take him away!" The Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Punishment waved his hand without being too lazy.
This case was ordered by Prince Jing. He must handle it beautifully and make it a solid case.
Immediately, the yamen servants dragged Meng Qinghe out like a dead dog.
…
When Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong came to Prince Jing's mansion, they didn't go to report, but hid in the dark, waiting for Meng Qinghe to send them a message.
When the time comes, they will go in again. At that time, the medicinal materials had already been stored in the warehouse, and the money had been distributed to Xiang Nan, so the evidence was conclusive. At that time, they won't be afraid of Xiang Nan's sophistry as soon as they agree.
While waiting, he saw Meng Qinghe being dragged out of the palace by the yamen servants.
Meng Qinghe's servant, Lian Sheng, was terrified to death when he saw this. Before he could run away, he was caught by the yamen servants beating the rabbits.
The two master and servant were tied together with ropes, and they were taken to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.
"..." Wang Tianhe and Lu Zhong were shocked when they saw this scene.
"This... this... what's going on?" Wang Tianhe asked in surprise.
Today was supposed to be the end of Xiang Nan, why was Meng Qing caught in rebellion? !
"My lord, don't worry, I'll follow up now and see what's going on." Lu Zhong said immediately.
"Well, go quickly." Wang Tianhe nodded.
Lu Zhong went immediately.
…
"My lord, I understand everything. It turns out that Xi Laile pretended to cooperate with Meng Qinghe, pretended to accept bribes, and let him take the bait. He thought it was a trick, so he sold a large number of fake medicines to the Wangfu.
But in fact, Xi Laile had already made a plan with the prince, and arranged for the officials of the Criminal Department to set up an ambush. As soon as Meng Qinghe's fake medicine entered the palace, he was immediately arrested on the spot.
So, with all the witnesses and material evidence, he couldn't even run away. "Lu Zhonghui reported.
"Meng Qinghe is an idiot! I can't even tell whether Xi Laile is sincerely cooperating with him or just trying to deal with it. It's all over now, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. It's hard for me to get him." Wang Tianhe broke his mouth when he heard that. scolded.
Originally, he wanted to use Meng Qinghe to take care of Xiang Nan, but he didn't want him to fall instead. It's really useless.
"My lord, it's still a troublesome matter. People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice heard that Meng Qinghe had close contacts with famous doctors in the capital and sold fake medicines together. They are preparing to interrogate him." Lu Zhong said again.
Wang Tianhe was shocked when he heard this.
The famous doctor in Beijing who hooked up with Meng Qinghe was him. During these years, when he was in charge of the imperial pharmacy, he often bought medicines from Meng Qinghe. Bellflowers are sold at the price of ginseng, fish eyes are sold at the price of pearls, potatoes are sold at the price of gastrodia elata...the royal pharmacy's annual expenses of hundreds of thousands of taels are divided up by them in this way.
If this matter is found out, he may have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if he is Lafayette's favorite minister, Lafayette will definitely not tolerate him.
At that time, beheading will be light. Maybe you have to copy the family and exterminate the family, and copy and kill with full marks. At that time, catastrophe will be imminent.
"We must not let him confess me." Wang Tianhe said immediately.
"Then I will try to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and warn him." Lu Zhong nodded immediately.
"Idiot! Why are you warning me? Under the three trees, there is nothing you can ask for. How long can he be tough." Wang Tianhe scolded immediately when he heard it.
"Then what do you mean..." Lu Zhong hurriedly asked for instructions.
"Kill him, once and for all." Wang Tianhe said coldly.
"This..." Lu Zhong couldn't bear it for a moment.
Although Meng Qinghe is a bastard, he has always been very filial to them, giving them money a lot. It's a bit unreasonable to kill him just like that.
"What is this! At this time, of course self-protection is the most important thing. Otherwise, let him confess us, it will be a disaster of family robbery." Wang Tianhe glared at him and said.
Lu Zhong nodded immediately.
…
That night, Meng Qinghe and his servant Lian Sheng died of a sudden illness in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, bleeding to death from the seven orifices. The death was extremely miserable.
Prince Jing was furious when he heard the news.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to this counterfeit drug dealer at first, and the reason why he wanted to deal with him was that he was entrusted by Xiang Nan to help him casually.
For a big man like him, cleaning up Meng Qinghe is no different from crushing an ant to death.
But unexpectedly, Meng Qinghe, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, died of a sudden illness without even staying one night.
Moreover, if it is said that he died suddenly alone, that would be unavoidable. Maybe he had some hidden disease, and it suddenly broke out. However, even his servant died together, which is too coincidental.
It is impossible for both master and servant to have hidden diseases. It's obvious that someone killed someone to silence them.
Immediately, Prince Jing submitted a booklet and asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Punishment. Get to the bottom of this.
But in the end, the matter was left alone.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling the corruption of the imperial court. Such an obvious case, but there is no result to be found out, and no one is responsible, it is really lawless.
However, the fate of Meng Qinghe and Lian Sheng, the master and servant who have done a lot of evil, has made him angry.
