Long Chen heard about the disappearance of a young woman in the capital, but he did not take it seriously.

Because in any world, beautiful women are easily targeted by attacks.

But in such a short time, more than a dozen people disappeared in succession, and it became known to everyone in the city, which would cause social panic.

"What does the Ministry of Justice say?"

Xiao E said, "I'm checking, and I heard that some ministers have made trouble with the emperor, and their daughters have also disappeared."

When something happened to the common people, the government could not help but shirk responsibility. The officials were different. They could directly complain to the empress.

"Let them check it out. You guys are not going out recently. People in the West Palace are more careful and walk around at night."

Long Chen was worried that someone would deliberately cause trouble, so he was not afraid, but these palace maids did not have the ability to protect themselves.

"knew."

The two of them stayed in the room for a while and then went out.

Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu came in from outside, their hair was a little wet.

"You guys took a secret bath and didn't take me."

Long Chen smelled the familiar body scent of the two.

Wu Chuchu said: "We just practiced martial arts and went to wash after practicing. You were in a daze here, so you didn't call you."

Dugu Jiali smiled and said, "Not bad this time."

The two sat back on the kang and felt a little bored. They were female generals. The Long family army was at Jade Buddha Pass. They had nothing to do and hang out with Long Chen every day.

"Sir, you said you were going to attack the Northern Barbarians, so should we retrain a cavalry?"

Dugu Jiali asked.

Long Chen said: "Yes, I was about to talk about this. You can contact Lao Wu, send some of the war horses from the Jade Buddha Pass back, and then draw some elite cavalrymen back."

Wu Chuchu put his long hair in front of her, slowly combed his rhinoceros horns, and said, "We will go to Nandaying to train soldiers at that time, and it will be too boring now."

Wu Chuchu looks like a beautiful woman at home, with black hair in front, and slender white legs sitting cross-legged...

Long Chen couldn't help but rush over, and Wu Chuchu was startled: "Didn't you talk about serious business? Why did you suddenly take action?"

Dugu Jiali giggled and said, "You are so tempting."

Long Chen held Wu Chuchu and smiled and said, "This can also be a serious matter."

Dugu Jiali hugged Long Chen from behind and smiled and said, "Chuchu, we sisters and two of us deal with him."

Three people rolled into a ball on the kang.

....

Fengming Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Several ministers stood in front, with sad and angry expressions and red eyes.

The empress looked serious, and Yingfeng was beside her, and she didn't say anything.

Di Wan'er walked in from outside and said, "Sir, the Second Princess and Shangshu Li have arrived."

Di Xingwan and Li Tianze entered the imperial study and said:

"My son pays homage to the queen of mother."

"I pay homage to the Lord."

The empress glanced at Li Tianze and asked, "How is the investigation of the flower-picking demon in the capital?"

These ministers were all missing daughters of their families, and their bodies were found in Quanhu. They came in to file a lawsuit with the emperor and asked the empress to investigate thoroughly.

Li Tianze said, "The coroner has just finished the autopsy, and the Ministry of Justice is still searching for clues."

Quanhu's body has been salvaged and sent to the mortal office of the Ministry of Justice, and the coroner has just been inspected.

The empress asked, "Are you any clue?"

Li Tianze replied: "A total of 19 corpses were salvaged from Quanhu this time. Some of these corpses were known missing women, some were unknown missing women, and there were 7 missing women reported to the officials who had not found their bodies. This case is probably more serious than we imagined."

There are more bodies caught in Quanhu than reported, and there are still no women who have reported the case, which means that more people died than known, and there are other places where the body is thrown.

After hearing this, the empress's eyebrows stood up and said angrily: "It's outrageous. How dare you commit such a big case in the capital! I ordered your Ministry of Justice to find the murderer and bring it to justice!"

Li Tianze bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

The empress turned to several ministers and said, "Several ministers, the Ministry of Justice is investigating thoroughly. You go back, I will personally inquire about this matter."

Several officials had no choice but to leave the imperial study room.

After the person left, the empress asked Li Tianze: "Are you sure you find it out?"

Li Tianze looked serious and said, "I will definitely solve the case!"

The empress nodded slightly: "Go, the case must be solved as soon as possible. Now the people in the capital are in panic and women dare not go out."

Li Tianze worshiped: "I received the order."

The empress said to Di Xingwan again: "You should assist Li Shangshu and solve the case as soon as possible, and there should be no new victims."

Di Xing said in the evening: "My son received the order."

The two left the imperial study room and returned to Nangong.

Di Xingwan said: "You go to the Ministry of Justice. This case is a test for you. If the case is solved, no one dares to say that you are not capable enough. The Minister of Justice will be yours."

Li Tianze bowed: "Yes."

After exiting the room, Li Tianze returned to his yard, a pretty palace maid came up and asked, "Sir, the emperor hasn't scolded him, right?"

Li Tianze shook his head and said, "The Lord asked me to solve the case as soon as possible."

The pretty palace maid comforted him: "The matter is due to human affairs, and the lord is not worse than Long Cheng'en, so he will definitely be able to solve the case."

Li Tianze nodded and took the two palace maids to the Ministry of Justice.

When we arrived at the Ministry of Justice, many people gathered at the door, some watched the fun and some families of the victims. Crying and noise were mixed together.

Li Tianze walked to the door, and the yamen runners separated the same road, and Li Tianze walked into the Ministry of Justice.

After entering the Houya, the Minister Wu Wenjing was discussing the case with Shen Tianhe, the doctor in the arresting department.

"grown ups."

Li Tianze came in and all the officials stood up to greet him.

Li Tianze waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down and talk.

"How is it, are you looking at me?"

Li Tianze's tone was gentle, not as disdainful as before.

Now that Li Tianze is trying to solve the case, he doesn’t know anything about it. If he wants to ask for it, his tone will naturally become soft.

Minister Wu Wenjing replied: "All women have been ruined, and there is a very strange place where all the blood of these women has been dried up."

Li Tianze's face suddenly changed and he asked, "The blood was drained? What does it mean?"

Shen Tianhe, the doctor of the arresting department, replied: "The murderer first took these women with Hehuan medicine, then abused them, and finally pierced the heart pulse and bleed."

The officials around him frowned when they heard this. This was too cruel and outrageous.

Li Tianze felt his scalp numb and asked, "Is there any clue about the murderer?"

Shen Tianhe shook his head and sighed: "The body was frozen under the ice for so long, and there was no clue on it."

Everyone was silent for a while and didn't speak.

Li Tianze slowly spoke: "The emperor just ordered me to solve the case as soon as possible. The ministers in the court and the people in the capital have begun to stir up trouble. If we do not solve the case quickly, we may be insecure."

The Minister Wu Wenjing's face looked ugly. He originally belonged to Jing Tianlie's gang, so the empress was particularly kind and did not pursue the investigation. If the case could not be solved, his position as Minister would probably be difficult to protect.

"Check it out, I will live here."

Li Tianze entered the Houya and lived there. Two pretty palace maids accompanied him. Di Xingwan sent something again.

....

Yanzhi Lane, Wangqing Pavilion.

He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng sat in the backyard, enjoying the snow and drinking together. A few red plum trees bloomed particularly brightly in the snow.

A beautiful and elegant girl poured wine for the two of them and said with a smile: "There are snow and plums, why don't you write a poem?"

A pot of rice wine was burning on the coal stove. He Wenbai poured a cup for Hu Zhiheng and said with a smile: "General Long's poem about plum blossoms is here, so we will not show off our ugly face."

The girl smiled and said, "Yes, the bright moon is in the sky, and the light of fireflies can be stopped."

She compared Long Chen to Haoyue, He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng to Fireflies, but the two were not angry.

"Yes, General Long is really a genius, both civil and military, and it's hard to produce one in five hundred years."

Hu Zhiheng drank a glass of hot rice wine, shook his head and exclaimed.

He Wenbai was about to agree, but the man at the table next to him said drunk: "What kind of genius, it is clearly a demonic lust!"
