The criminal department is divided into several bureaus. The arrest department is responsible for the security of the capital, and they are responsible for the affairs of the criminal department.
Shen Tianhe, the head of the arrest department, replied: "Many women have disappeared in the capital recently. We have received a total of 13 reports, all of which are young women..."
Before Shen Tianhe could finish speaking, Li Tianze interrupted him and said impatiently: "As a minister of the six departments, I don't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters. If there is a murder case, you can investigate it yourself."
Shen Tianhe was stunned and speechless, bowed awkwardly, and retreated angrily.
"Anything else?"
Li Tianze glanced around the hall, but no one said anything.
"Okay, that's it for today. You must perform your duties and not let down the expectations of the Holy One."
"Shilang Wu, when I am not at the Yamen, you have to get things done. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
Wu Wenjing immediately bowed and said: "I obey my orders! Don't worry, sir!"
After saying that, Li Tianze returned to Nangong with two pretty palace ladies.
Wu Wenjing looked at Li Tianze's leaving figure and said sarcastically in his heart: He wants to imitate Master Long, but he doesn't have the ability. Painting a tiger will not turn out to be a dog.
Returning to Nangong, Li Tianze entered Di Xingwan's room.
"Your Highness the Princess."
Li Tianze, with a magnetic and soft voice and a decent manner, slowly walked behind Emperor Xingwan.
"You have taken up the post at the Ministry of Criminal Justice? How does it feel?"
Emperor Xingwan was wearing mink velvet, and the female officer Shangguan Xue was helping her grind ink.
"The affairs of the Ministry of Punishment are complicated, and there are many laws in Dazhou. It will take time to master them."
Li Tianze said it very humbly.
Emperor Xingwan put down his writing brush, looked at the written words, and asked: "How does my handwriting compare with Long Chengen's?"
The news about Long Chen's calligraphy competition at the Literature Museum spread throughout the capital. Everyone knew that Long Chen was a master of calligraphy and created his own line of regular script.
Emperor Xingwan liked regular script very much and felt that regular script was strong and upright.
Li Tianze felt cold in his heart, but he praised: "Princess's calligraphy is better than Master Long's."
Di Xingwan smiled and said: "It's just bragging, how can I be better than him."
It was snowing outside and it was freezing cold. Di Xingwan said to Shangguan Xue: "Get ready, I want to take a hot bath."
Li Tianze's eyes shone brightly and he said, "I will serve the princess."
Emperor Xingwan immediately refused: "No, you should familiarize yourself with the law to resolve the case. I begged for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. Don't embarrass me."
Li Tianze bowed and said: "I obey!"
Shangguan Xue packed her clothes and Li Tianze sent the princess to the bathroom door.
"What happened to those three palace maids? Have you found out?"
Emperor Xingwan suddenly asked.
Li Tianze slowly replied: "We are still investigating, there is something fishy about this matter."
Emperor Xingwan frowned and said: "My Nangong people disappeared for no reason. You are the manager of Nangong and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. You must find out!"
Li Tianze bowed and said: "I obey!"
Emperor Xing went to take a bath at night. Li Tianze left the room angrily and returned to his courtyard. The pretty palace maid who accompanied him asked: "The princess refused again?"
Li Tianze's face was cold, and he nodded slightly and said: "The princess is still dissatisfied with me. I heard that Long Chengen served her, why can't I."
The pretty palace maid advised in a low voice: "My lord, please don't show it. Maybe after a long time, it will be fine."
Li Tianze nodded slightly and endured it for the time being.
Outside, two palace maids came in with smiles and said, "Master Tianze, we bought a parrot. It can talk and will be given to you here to relieve your boredom."
Tian Ze had a gentle face and said with a smile: "Ye Liu, Chun Bai, you two have a heart."
The personal maid stepped forward to take the bird cage and pulled Yeliu. Chunbai smiled and said, "Come on, let's go to the back room to play."
The three of them giggled and went into the back room to play with the parrot.
....
Ministry of Punishment.
The arresting officer, Shen Tianhe, hurried into the front hall, where a middle-aged official was pacing anxiously.
Seeing Shen Tianhe coming, the officials rushed to greet her, took Shen Tianhe's hand and said, "Master Shen, my daughter is missing. I have been looking for it all day and night. Please hurry up and send someone to help me find her!"
Shen Tianhe consoled him: "Master Liu, please be patient and tell me what's going on."
This middle-aged official is Liu De from the Department of Affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Master Shen, my daughter went out to buy some rouge yesterday, but she hasn't returned yet. I've searched all over the house, but there's no trace of her!"
Liu De was so anxious that he only had one daughter.
Shen Tianhe said with relief: "We will send people to search immediately, Mr. Liu is relieved..."
It was very abnormal for a girl who had not left the court to stay home all night, and Shen Tianhe had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Master Shen, please!"
Liu De was so anxious that he couldn't help it.
"Master Liu, please go back first. I will report to the Minister immediately."
After seeing off Liu De, Shen Tianhe entered the back office, found Wu Wenjing, and said, "Sir, more and more women are missing in the capital. What should we do now?"
Wu Wenjing is also very troubled. A total of 15 cases of missing women have been reported, but these people are not alive or dead, and the cases cannot be investigated.
"Let everyone go. With so many people missing, there will always be clues."
Wu Wenjing had no choice but to use the stupidest method.
Shen Tianhe had no choice but to do as he was told, and all the men of the arrest department were released to look for the person.
....
There is a lake south of the capital, and there is a spring in the center of the lake. Clear spring water gushes out all year round, which is called Quanhu.
The water source here is the best in the entire capital. In winter, the imperial court would send people to cut ice cubes from the center of the lake and store them in ice cellars until they could be used to cool down in the hot summer.
The person who is responsible for harvesting ice is called a Himo.
A group of ice farmers were cutting ice at Quan Lake. Square pieces of ice were cut out and carefully placed on the sled. The horses' hooves were wrapped in straw and they were slowly pulled toward the palace ice cellar.
An old man was directing from the side and said: "Don't use too much force when cutting the ice. If you use too much force, it will break. It must be just right..."
Bang!
A young man used too much force, and the iron rod pierced a piece of crystal clear ice and exploded.
The old man scolded: "What I said should be ignored! I told you not to use too much force!"
The young man said aggrievedly: "I just did what Master said, and it exploded on its own."
The old man was so angry that he yelled: "Fart! How could such good ice explode by itself!"
Himo next to him didn't dare to help. This old man was sent by the imperial court.
"Old man Xu, what do you think this is?"
A nearby ice house suddenly noticed something under the ice.
The young man picked up the iron pole and stabbed it a few times. The old man cursed again: "You are still stabbing, stabbing your mother..."
"Master, there are corpses under the ice!"
Old Man Xu hurriedly walked over, and sure enough there was a body under the ice. Judging from the clothes, it should be a woman.
"No, report it to the official quickly!"
Old Man Xu quickly sent someone to report to the Ministry of Punishment.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Long Chen was sitting in the room, still thinking about how to cure Bai Tingting's scar. This girl valued her body too much.
"Do I really care about their bodies?"
Long Chen asked himself.
Xiang Ning came in from outside, muttering to herself while walking with Xiao'e, with a rich expression on her face.
"What did you say?"
Long Chen asked.
Xiao'e gestured with excitement: "Sir, do you know about the flower-picking robbers in the capital? Many women suddenly disappeared in the capital, and they are all dead and alive."
Xiang Ning immediately took over and said: "I finally found it today. In Quan Lake, there are more than a dozen corpses. It is said that they were all ruined. It's very weird..."
Speaking of this, the two of them looked a little horrified.
