The shadow came quickly and was behind him in a moment. Li Tianze was so frightened that he screamed: "Help me!"
But there was no one around, and there was no one to rescue him. The shadow came behind him and hit his back with a palm. Li Tianze flew forward a few meters and fell to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and then he passed out.
The shadow fell and Li Tianze disappeared.
In the room, the parrot screamed: "Caught away, taken away..."
....
Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng quickly entered the imperial study. The empress put down the memorial and asked, "How?"
Yingfeng replied: "Li Tianze is fine."
The empress frowned slightly, looking a little disappointed, and said, "Is it okay?"
Yingfeng nodded and said, "Weichen checked very carefully. There is absolutely no problem."
Di Waner walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the second princess is here."
The empress gave Yingfeng a look, and Yingfeng stepped aside.
Emperor Xingwan walked in quickly, looking very anxious, and said: "Mother, Tianze was attacked in the palace. The assassin sneaked into the palace. He was seriously injured."
The empress pretended to be surprised, turned to Yingfeng and said, "What's going on?"
Yingfeng immediately bowed and said: "This humble minister is incompetent, let's investigate thoroughly immediately!"
The empress consoled her: "Don't worry, Yingfeng will go check it out right away."
Emperor Xingwan said again: "Queen Mother, the three missing maids in the Erchen Palace were found with Long Chengen. This..."
The empress' face changed slightly and she said, "I heard about it, what do you think?"
Di Xingwan thought for a moment and said, "I thought someone was framing me. Although Long Chengen doesn't pay much attention to it, he is definitely not a flower-picking devil."
Di Xingwan had competition with Di Luoxi, but she had no prejudice against Long Chen and liked him very much.
She didn't believe that Long Chen could kill someone, or in such a perverted way.
The empress nodded and said, "The people from the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate have gone, I will deal with it, don't worry."
Emperor Xing bowed in the evening and exited Fengming Palace.
"Are you avenging a private vendetta?"
The empress turned and asked Yingfeng.
Yingfeng looked embarrassed and replied: "Weichen wasn't sure if there was something wrong with Tianze, so... I took a little more serious action..."
If Li Tianze were present, he would definitely curse: He was so beaten that he vomited blood, and he said it was a little too serious...
Li Tianze and Long Chen were stealing the limelight. Yingfeng saw that Li Tianze was unhappy, so this attack was indeed aggravated on purpose.
Di Waner walked in again and said, "Your Majesty, Censor Bai is here."
The empress immediately said: "Pass!"
Soon, Bai Anning walked in with Wu Wenjing.
At this time, there was no minister in the Ministry of Punishment, and Wu Wenjing, the left minister, temporarily took the place of the Ministry of Punishment.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
The two of them bowed deeply.
The empress asked: "What happened?"
Bai Anning replied: "Back to the Holy Emperor, three female corpses were dug up in the West Palace during the day. They are definitely the three missing maids in the Second Princess's palace. The appearance of the victims is the same as the female corpses outside the palace. They are definitely the work of the flower-picking demon."
The empress' eyes were sharp and she said angrily: "What a thief, how dare you sneak into the palace and commit crimes!"
"Yingfeng, mobilize all the strength of the capital and fully cooperate with the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the search. We must catch the thief!"
Yingfeng bowed and said, "Wei Chen accepts the order!"
The case was reported, but neither Bai Anning nor Wu Wenjing had any intention of resigning.
The empress asked: "What else is there?"
Bai Anning lowered his head and looked back at Wu Wenjing, who lowered his head and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, there was another problem discovered during Wei Chen's autopsy."
Obviously, Bai Anning didn't want to talk about this.
The empress said: "Speak!"
Bai Anning whispered: "Palace Maid Ruyan is pregnant..."
Yingfeng exclaimed: "What! How is that possible!"
There is no man in the harem, and Ruyan has been in the palace for a long time, how could she be pregnant?
The empress' face suddenly changed, her eyes changing... Some were angry, some were disappointed, some were incomprehensible...
"Yushi Bai, did you make a mistake?"
Yingfeng didn't believe it.
Bai Anning replied: "Master Yingfeng, such a thing is sensational. If I am not 100% sure, how can I dare to talk nonsense?"
If a woman in the harem is pregnant, you really shouldn’t say such things, as it will bring disgrace to the empress.
"But there are no men in the harem, how can a palace maid get pregnant? It's ridiculous!"
Yingfeng was already a little angry.
The empress said coldly: "This matter is top secret, don't let any information leak out! Just stand down..."
Bai Anning and Wu Wenjing exited Fengming Palace.
After the people left, Yingfeng still didn't understand and said: "How is it possible? Did the Procuratorate make a mistake..."
The empress sighed slightly and said, "You should also step back..."
Yingfeng saw the empress looked sad and had no choice but to leave the royal study.
The empress was silent for a long time, stood up slowly, and sighed: "There are no men in the harem..."
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Feng He entered the room, holding a pile of documents in his hand and placing them on the desk.
"I got this from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Feng Helong's intelligence methods are first-class, and there are people from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who can handle it easily.
Long Chen went through each book carefully and compared the information of all the victims.
"Sir, there is another news that you will never expect."
Feng He pretends to be profound.
"If you fart, let it go!"
Long Chen didn't have time to play riddles, he wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible.
Feng He was a little disappointed, he wanted to show off.
"Ruyan is pregnant!"
"What?"
Long Chen was shocked.
"How is that possible?"
Long Chen didn't believe Feng He's news.
Seeing Long Chen's surprise, Feng He felt that he had done a great job. He chuckled and said, "That's absolutely true. The old man who did the autopsy has been locked up and no one is allowed to visit him! I guess Bai Anning has reported it to the Holy Spirit by now.
.”
Long Chen felt like shit, besides himself, there were other men in the harem? Did he make the palace maid's belly bigger?
"Li Tianze..."
"He is an eunuch, absolutely right. Yingfeng just checked him."
"How do you know?"
"Sir, after I learned that Ruyan was pregnant, I wanted to take action against Li Tianze to test whether he was a fake eunuch, but I met Yingfeng. She had just finished the examination according to the order, and Li Tianze was fine!"
Yingfeng and Feng He have worked together before. They are both spy commanders and often exchange news.
Of course, the most important thing is because of Long Chen, Feng He works for Long Chen, and Yingfeng likes Long Chen.
"That's weird...who could it be?"
Long Chen couldn't understand, who did it?
Feng He said: "I plan to join forces with Yingfeng to thoroughly investigate the eunuchs in the harem to see who has slipped through the net."
Long Chen secretly thought in his heart: Just don’t find out about me!
"Go ahead. This is a major mistake by the murderer. I guess this person is in the palace!"
Feng He immediately went out from the window and asked Yingfeng to discuss a thorough investigation.
The door of the room was pushed open, and Di Luoxi walked in and said angrily: "The literati in the capital have jointly submitted a letter to the Queen Mother, requesting that you be removed from office and investigated thoroughly."
"What's the use of these scholars? They only know how to make noises. They are a bunch of trash! Next time I will drag them all to the battlefield to see if they dare to make trouble!"
Long Chen put down the documents and said: "The matter is so big, it is understandable for scholars to come forward, there is no point in getting angry with them."
"In the past, the second princess was in charge of this matter, so I couldn't interfere with it. Now she doesn't care about it, so I just want to go check it out."
Li Tianze dismissed the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Di Xingwan had withdrawn, so it would be fine for Long Chen to intervene again.
Di Luoxi nodded and said, "You should have been asked to check earlier. That Li Tianze doesn't understand shit. What the hell!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "The princess has a lot of opinions about him. Are you trying to protect me?"
Di Luoxi said angrily: "I'm so angry. You're still joking. What can I do for you?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No need, I have someone in my hands."
If you need to hire people, Xichang is the most suitable, without Di Luoxi's help.
"Then I'm leaving, please check quickly."
Di Luoxi stood up and left, while Long Chen continued to analyze the documents.
The corpses found so far are all female, a total of 37 dead, aged between 16 and 18 years old, all of them young.
They all took Albizia Julibrissin before they died, were then wasted, and finally had their blood stolen from them.
"Is this a religious ceremony or a cultivation method?"
This method is too unusual, Long Chen has never seen it before.
For such matters, you should ask the master of the Cangwu Pavilion. She is in charge of the classics and should know the most.
After changing his clothes, Long Chen asked Xiang Ning to prepare some exquisite snacks, then asked Di Luoxi for a token, and then headed to the Hidden Martial Pavilion.
After arriving at the door and looking at the token, Long Chen went straight to the fifth floor.
The master of the pavilion is holding the stove by the window and watching the snow.
"This junior has seen the unparalleled beauty of the Pavilion Master."
The master of the pavilion is dressed in black fur and his hair is combed delicately. Although he is old, he has a certain charm.
The pavilion master turned around and saw Long Chen, and sneered coldly: "You still have time to come here and talk nonsense, but now the people in the capital are eager to cut you into pieces."
Long Chen put the snack box on the table and said with a smile: "That's why I came here to ask the Pavilion Master to save my life."
The Pavilion Master smiled slightly and said, "I'm not that capable."
Long Chen opened the food box, took out a few plates of exquisite snacks, and said with a smile: "These are the snacks from Yipinju. Please give it a try, Master."
The master of the pavilion did not refuse, took a piece, tasted it, and said, "If you want to ask anything, just tell me."
