The imperial palace in Jinling City was retained as the administrative seat of Jinling.
The yamen that originally belonged to the six departments were all divided into divisions, which served as the yamen that managed the hometown of Nanliang.
The original Criminal Department has now become the Prosecution Department, headed by Qi Wenhai.
Because Qi Wenhai got to know Long Chen, he joined the Criminal Department in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and became the arresting officer.
After Jinling was captured, Li Xiannan commanded the troops and Gongsun Ming was in charge of government affairs. Neither of them knew how to arrest and solve crimes, so thieves were rampant in Jinling City.
In desperation, Gongsun Ming wrote to the empress, requesting that an expert in investigating crimes be sent to Jinling City.
Qi Wenhai naturally became the best candidate.
Therefore, the empress issued an order to transfer Qi Wenhai to the Jinling City Apprehension Department as the head of the department, and at the same time, he served as the Minister of the Criminal Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In less than three years, Qi Wenhai was promoted from the head catcher of a county to the position of minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Outside the arrest department, Capt. Liu took several brothers back to the Yamen.
A young policeman entered the yamen, sat down on the edge of the flower pond, and rubbed his temples with both hands.
This young catcher followed Captain Liu to deal with Zhao Pu.
An older police officer passed by and said with a smile: "Heizi, did you go find your sweetheart again last night?"
The young detective's name was Xu Heizi, and everyone in the yamen called him Heizi.
He had a sweetheart outside the city, a young widow with a son.
The orphan and the widowed mother were pitiful, so Heizi fell in love with her.
The little widow has a male man to rely on, and the black man can live freely. Everyone knows that there is mutual consent.
"Old Li, I know that you have a good relationship with the lady from the brothel."
Heizi smiled, and the old catcher spat: "You little bastard, learn to talk back. Go and rest when you are tired. Don't hold on. Jinling City has been relatively peaceful recently."
Qi Wenhai's ability is not particularly strong, but he is fair and attentive. After taking office, the atmosphere in Jinling City has improved.
A city's public security is actually related to the habits of a city's police officers.
As long as the police officer's morale is good and he doesn't collude with the gangsters, the gangsters won't dare to mess around.
Whenever a place is chaotic and dark, there must be something wrong with the police in that place.
Even the policeman himself is a member of the underworld.
After Qi Wenhai took office, he arrested a lot of police officers who behaved badly, and several of them were beheaded in public. His habits immediately changed, and the security in the city improved accordingly.
"knew."
Heizi smiled, and the old catcher walked away laughing.
After slowly getting up and walking a few steps, Heizi still felt dizzy.
"Go back to your room and take a nap first."
Heizi walked towards the yamen dormitory, where several detectives were playing chess.
"No, eat his horse."
"Go to the car, go to the car."
"You two are a true gentleman watching chess without speaking. Shut up, you two."
Several people pointed at the chessboard and made loud noises.
Heizi found his bed, lay down on it, and fell asleep.
...
Lanzhi Hall.
The sky was slightly bright, the hall master Yinrou got up very early, lit a torch in the yard, and the workers started working early, preparing things. As soon as the city gate opened, all the carriages immediately set off for Rhinoceros City.
Ji Xianxian is working hard to restore the country, and all the resources of the Dragon Gang are on it.
"Where's Meier?"
Yinrou asked the people around her.
"It seems she hasn't gotten up yet. That's strange. Sister Meier is very early every day."
"I'll go take a look. Maybe I'm too tired and overslept."
A woman went downstairs and arrived at the door of Mei'er's room.
He reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
"Sister Mei'er, the hall master is looking for you? Are you awake?"
There was still no response from inside, and the woman continued to knock on the door.
"Sister Mei'er?"
When the woman saw that there was still no response from the room, she felt a little anxious.
With a slight push, the door opened automatically and was unlocked.
It was slightly bright outside and the room was not very bright. The woman came in and called softly: "Sister Mei'er?"
When she walked to the window, the woman smelled a fishy smell.
The woman was startled and immediately took out the fire stick and lit the oil lamp on the table.
With the help of an oil lamp, the woman saw a large pool of blood on the bed, and black hair mixed with blood on the pillow, which looked very scary.
"Someone is coming!"
The woman screamed in fright, turned around and rushed out of the room, shouting: "Someone is coming..."
Yinrou heard the sound upstairs and immediately jumped downstairs, yelling: "What are you shouting for!"
The woman trembled and said: "Sister Mei'er, sister Mei'er..."
Yinrou felt that something was wrong, so she rushed into the room and saw a large pool of blood on the bed. Meier's clothes were still there, and the mattress was soaked and dyed dark red.
Meier's hairpins and hair were lying on the pillow, and the bones were placed on the bed, which looked very scary.
Such a terrifying scene, no wonder the woman under his command was so frightened.
Other people in the hall entered the room one after another, and everyone was frightened when they saw such a terrifying scene.
"How could this happen? How could Meier do this?"
The others didn't know what was going on, but Yinrou knew very well that she was poisoned by the people in Nannan Zhao.
But why is it poisoned here?
Who brought it back?
"Everyone, get out! This matter must not be spread outside!"
Yinrou ordered the spectators to leave the room immediately.
Closing the door, Yinrou felt something was wrong.
Mei'er has never been to Xicheng, but she was poisoned by Zhao Ren. Where did this poison come from?
Are they from Rhinoceros City?
Opening the door, Yinrou said to a few people who were working carefully: "Burn Mei'er, the mattress, and everything in the room. Remember, don't touch her, and cover your face!"
Several people had just seen Mei'er's death, which was too miserable.
Yinrou ordered this, they knew they must have been poisoned, and the poison was contagious.
"clear."
If they had not died in the hall, they would have burned the house down.
The carriage was ready, and the leading man came over to ask if it could start.
Yinrou hesitated, if Meier's poison came from Rhinoceros City, then someone must have brought it, and this person was in the carriage.
"Are any of you feeling sick? Dizziness or something?"
Yinrou interrogated very seriously.
The man said doubtfully: "Dizziness? No, what's wrong?"
Yinrou thought for a while, and then said: "Someone among you must have been poisoned by poison. Meier died last night and died of poison."
The man's face suddenly changed with fright, and he said: "Coming from Rhinoceros City, there is no problem with our people. How is it possible?"
Yinrou shook her head and said: "It must be. It is impossible for Meier to be poisoned by herself. Only Zhao people have this poison."
The man thought about it carefully, but finally shook his head and said: "It's impossible. It's more than a month's journey from Rhinoceros City to Jinling. If you were poisoned, you would have been poisoned long ago. It's impossible to delay it until now."
Yinrou is right when she thinks about it. Although the time for the poison to attack varies, it will never lie dormant for a month.
So where did the poison in Mei'er come from?
"Could it be said that Zhaoren has infiltrated Jinling?"
Yinrou only has this hypothesis left, and can't think of other possibilities.
"Jinling City is the territory of King Wu, aren't Zhao people afraid of death?"
The man blurted out.
In the Central Plains, opposing Long Chen would lead to death, no matter who it was.
Yinrou frowned and thought for a long time...
Birds chirped from the rooftop, the sky was bright, the sounds of carriages and horses outside were noisy, and the city gate opened.
"Let's go!"
Yinrou decided to let the convoy go on the road so as not to delay the trip.
"yes!"
The man was also puzzled as to where Mei'er's poison came from, but there was a time limit for purchasing supplies and he couldn't miss the trip.
The carriage convoy drove out from Lanzhi Hall and slowly headed towards the south gate.
A bit of smoke rose from the open space in the backyard, and Meier's body and mattress were all burned.
