The inner court was having discussions about the new candidates that managed to pass the examination. It seemed this year they had quite a good harvest making the emperor pleased.
The more talented ones were about to be promoted. The issue about prime minister was solved two weeks later from the third prince incident.
The current prime minister was Chen Xiaohong eldest brother of the empress and maternal uncle of Pei Jin.
The positions for the few talented ones were finally decided with the main discussions people were hoping for the court to end but minister of justice came forward.
"Emperor it has come to our knowledge that a doctor was found dead on the shore of the docks yesterday. It seems that the body had decayed a lot from being in the water for too long.
The body was tied down by rocks but somehow it still surfaced above. After the examination the corpse was nearly 1 and half months old. And inside the clothes was his name jade with which we indentified the person.
The strange thing we found was this doctor went missing from the day when he visited song manor. It was seen by some street vendors that he entered the song manor with the personal attendant of Song hui.
After a week he disappeared. According to his wife after he left in the afternoon he didn't return. She also had placed a missing report. Even after through search he wasn't found.
Learning of his demise she had place suspicions on song manor. She mentioned that her husband had learned of secret of song manor and it is because of that her husband have been killed.
According to her Song hui went to become a monk was just a cover up to hide his illness. It seems that the doctor had diagonised song hui to be impotent by some drug.
We had sent our best officer to investigate the matter and he was able to confirm that indeed song hui has become an impotent as marquis song had another doctor called to verify it.
It is after that song hui left for the monastery. But when our officer went to the monastery he found that song hui had never been to the monastery. He was rather sent to their villa outside the capital an hour drive away.
To unveil the truth he went to the villa where not only he confirmed song hui's presence but also found several bodies of the maids thrown behind the villa forest.
He also have seen a beggar like man exit from the house. But before he could follow the man he could hear loud screams of women as if being tortured. Thus he has sent a letter for us to send guards to raid the villa as he fears that song hui is doing something inside the villa."
Everyone were shocked to learn that song hui was now an impotent and the entire song's had been lying about him becoming a monk. They peeked at the emperor who had a bad look, then at their new prime minister who had a strange face.
"What do you think beloved prime minister?" asks emperor.
"Emperor, this minister thinks that the matter is very strange and suspicious. We should indeed send people from investigation department along with guards to check on the matter.
As this includes an innocent life we must act quickly to give justice. The information we have points that Marquis song and song hui have some hidden secrets. Song hui's presence in that villa and everything else is very suspicious and secretive." replies Xiaohong.
Nodding his head emperor gives his orders "have the men sent immediately to raid the villa song hui currently resides in, also have marquis song under house arrest. Report immediately of the findings to Zhen. End of court"
