1477. Chapter 1477 The flower thief commits the crime
After attending Dongfang Xu's conferment ceremony, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month, and envoys from various countries had left one after another.
The envoys from the Aotian Kingdom were probably the first to leave because they had not reached the goal of peace with the Yuan Kingdom.
And the annual New Year's Eve of the Yuan Dynasty is coming soon, which is a day for families to reunite.
Of course, not all countries celebrate New Year's Eve. On this continent, only the Yuan and Luo countries have this custom.
However, Baili Wushang and Yun Jingchu could not go back, so they sent letters back a month ago in advance to explain to Emperor Luo and Empress Luo that they would stay in the Yuan Kingdom to celebrate the New Year.
However, just the day before New Year's Eve, it suddenly broke out that twenty-seven incidents of flower-picking thieves had occurred in the capital in the past three days, and the capital was abuzz.
Originally, in the Yuan Dynasty, if a woman's innocence was tarnished, she would usually cover it up if she could. She would not report it to the official, let alone spread it.
However, the reason why this incident came out is because one of the victim women was an only daughter in the family. Her parents doted on her very much, and she also had a fiancé who loved each other. After the incident, the woman felt sorry for her fiancé, so she hanged herself.
.
Her parents who doted on her and her fiancé who loved her were distraught. In order to avenge the victim and punish the murderer, they reported it to the police.
Because it was the day before New Year's Eve, Jing Zhaoyi's Yamen was closed, so the victim's family insisted on beating the drum for two hours before summoning Jing Zhaoyi. By this time, almost half of the people in the capital had been alarmed.
Therefore, when Jing Zhaoyi was tried in court, many people knew the whole story, and they spread the word to others.
As a result, other victims and their families also plucked up the courage to submit petitions.
In one afternoon, Jing Zhaoyi received twenty-seven petitions. Moreover, the victims described very similar situations. They were knocked unconscious in the middle of the night, taken to a place, and were violated when they woke up.
He found himself abandoned in the wilderness. Unfortunately, the victim did not see the true face of the flower picker.
When Jing Zhaoyi saw it, this was extraordinary. Twenty-seven flower-picking incidents occurred in three days. These were reported to the official. It cannot be ruled out that there are many more that have not been reported to the official.
Jing Zhaoyi immediately filed a case, began an investigation, and stepped up patrols on the streets at night.
However, that night, thirteen more flower-picking incidents occurred.
Among them, many women were discovered by patrolling government officials.
It was at this time that Yun Jingchu learned about this matter.
For such a big matter, it is impossible not to mention Dark Night's information.
"...Now, Jingzhaoyi Wang Qian has requested the support of the Beijing Guards to continue to strengthen the pursuit of murderers and patrols." Dao reported to Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingchu put down the documents in his hands and frowned in thought.
Over the years, she has not heard of any powerful flower-picking thieves emerging in the world. The famous flower-picking thief back then was subdued by her in the middle of the night, and she has not heard of any more popular flower-picking thieves appearing since then.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, a more powerful flower picker than the one who came in the middle of the night appeared.
The knife stood quietly in front of Yun Jingchu, waiting for Yun Jingchu's decision.
Originally, this kind of thing had no direct interest relationship with them, so they could just ignore it. However, Dao knew that Yun Jingchu hated men who abused women the most, and the incident happened right next to them, so he came here seriously.
