Chapter 1804 Fighting against the Gao Captured Tiger
Long Chen had heard about the disappearance of the young lady from the capital, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Because in any world, beautiful women are easy targets.
But in such a short period of time, more than a dozen people disappeared one after another, and the incident became known throughout the city, which would cause social panic.
"What did the Ministry of Justice say?"
Xiao'e said: "I'm investigating. I heard that some ministers went to see the Holy One and their daughters were also missing."
When something happens to the common people, the government has no choice but to push the blame. Unlike officials, they can directly complain to the empress.
"Let them check. You guys should go out less recently. Everyone in the West Palace should be careful and don't move around at night."
Long Chen was worried that someone was deliberately causing trouble, but he was not afraid, but these maids had no ability to protect themselves.
"knew."
The two stayed in the room for a while and then went out.
Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu came in from outside, their hair a little wet.
"You secretly took a shower without me."
Long Chen smelled the familiar body scent of the two of them.
Wu Chuchu said: "We just practiced martial arts and went to take a shower after practice. You were in a daze here, so I didn't call you."
Dugu Jiali smiled and said, "It's not bad this time."
The two of them sat back on the kang, feeling a little bored. They were female generals, and the Long Family Army was at Jade Buddha Pass. They had nothing to do, so they hung out with Long Chen every day.
"Sir, you said you want to take action against the Northern Barbarians, do we need to train a new cavalry?"
Dugu Jiali asked.
Long Chen said: "Yes, I was just about to say this. Contact Lao Wu and send back some of the horses from Jade Buddha Pass, and also bring back some elite cavalry."
Wu Chuchu gathered her long hair in front of her body, combed it slowly with a rhinoceros comb, and said: "We will go to Nanda Camp to train troops. It's too boring now."
The way Wu Chuchu combs her hair looks like a beautiful housewife, with her black hair in front and her slender white legs sitting cross-legged...
Long Chen couldn't help but pounce on him. Wu Chuchu was startled: "Aren't you talking about business? Why did you do it so suddenly?"
Dugu Jiali giggled and said, "You are so tempting like this."
Long Chen held Wu Chuchu down and said with a smile: "This way we can talk about business."
Dugu Jiali hugged Long Chen from behind and said with a smile: "Chu Chu, we two sisters will take care of him."
The three people rolled into a ball on the kang.

Fengming Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Several ministers stood in front, looking sad and angry, with red eyes.
The empress looked serious, and Yingfeng beside her looked gloomy and didn't speak.
Di Waner walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the second princess and Li Shangshu have arrived."
Emperor Xingwan and Li Tianze entered the imperial study and bowed:
"My son, I pay homage to my mother."
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
The empress glanced at Li Tianze and asked: "How is the investigation of the devil picking flowers in the capital?"
These ministers all had daughters at home who disappeared and their bodies were found in Quanhu Lake. They came together to file a complaint and asked the empress to conduct a thorough investigation.
Li Tianze bowed: "The autopsy has just been completed, and the Criminal Department is still searching for clues."
Quanhu's body has been retrieved and sent to the Department of Punishment's autopsy room, and the inspection has just been completed.
The empress asked: "Do you have any clues?"
Li Tianze replied: "A total of 19 bodies have been recovered from Quanhu this time. Some of these bodies are known missing women, some are unknown missing women, and there are 7 missing women who have been reported to the police but their bodies have not yet been found. This time
The case may be more serious than we imagined."
More corpses were recovered from Quanhu Lake than were reported, and the woman who had reported the crime was still not found. This shows that more people died than known, and there were other places where the bodies were dumped.
After hearing this, the empress raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "How dare you commit such a big case in the capital? I order your punishment department to find the murderer and bring him to justice!"
Li Tianze bowed and said, "I obey your order!"
The empress turned to several ministers and said: "Dear dear sirs, the Ministry of Punishment is doing its best to investigate thoroughly. You should go back. I will personally investigate this matter."
Several officials had no choice but to withdraw from the imperial study.
After the people left, the empress asked Li Tianze: "Are you sure of finding out?"
Li Tianze looked serious and said, "Wei Chen will definitely solve the case!"
The empress nodded slightly: "Go ahead, we must solve the case as soon as possible. Now people in the capital are in panic, and women don't dare to go out."
Li Tianze bowed and said, "Wei ministers accept the decree."
The empress said to Emperor Xingwan again: "Assist Li Shangshu and solve the case as soon as possible. There must be no new victims."
Emperor Xing paid his respects in the evening and said: "My son, I accept the decree."
The two of them exited the imperial study and returned to Nangong.
Di Xingwan said: "You go to the Ministry of Punishment. This case is a test for you. If you solve the case, no one will dare to say that you are not capable enough. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment will be yours."
Li Tianze bowed: "Yes."
After exiting the room, Li Tianze returned to his courtyard. A pretty palace maid came up to him and asked, "Sir, did the Holy One not reprimand me?"
Li Tianze shook his head and said, "Your Majesty asked me to solve the case as soon as possible."
The pretty palace maid consoled her: "It all depends on human effort. Your Excellency is no worse than Long Chengen, so you will definitely be able to solve the case."
Li Tianze nodded and took the two maids to the Criminal Department.
When we arrived at the Criminal Department, a lot of people gathered at the door, including spectators and family members of the victims, and there was a mixture of crying and noise.
Li Tianze walked to the door, the Yamen servants parted ways, and Li Tianze walked into the Criminal Department.
After entering the Houya, the minister Wu Wenjing was discussing the situation with Shen Tianhe, the arresting officer.
"grown ups."
When Li Tianze came in, all the officials stood up to greet him.
Li Tianze waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.
"How's it going? Do you have any clues?"
Li Tianze's tone was gentle, not as disdainful and overbearing as before.
Now it was time to solve the case, and Li Tianze didn't understand anything, so he asked them for help, so his tone naturally softened.
The minister Wu Wenjing replied: "All the women have been raped, and there is a very strange thing. The blood of these women has been drained."
Li Tianze's expression suddenly changed and he asked, "The blood has been drained? What do you mean?"
The arresting officer, Shen Tianhe, replied: "The murderer first gave these women the drug Albizia Julibrissin, then tortured them, and finally pierced their heart veins and bled them."
The surrounding officials frowned after hearing this. This approach was so cruel and outrageous.
Li Tianze felt his scalp numb and asked, "Are there any clues about the murderer?"
Shen Tianhe shook his head and sighed: "The body has been frozen under the ice for so long, and there are no clues on it."
Everyone was silent for a while and didn't speak.
Li Tianze spoke slowly: "The Holy Lord has just ordered me to solve the case as soon as possible. The ministers of the DPRK and the people in the capital have begun to commotion. If the case is not solved as soon as possible, we may all be in trouble."
The look on Wu Wenjing's face was very ugly. He originally belonged to Jing Tianlie's group, but the empress was extraordinarily merciful and did not pursue the case. If this case cannot be solved, his position as minister may not be guaranteed.
"Check it, I will stay here."
Li Tianze went to stay in the back office, accompanied by two pretty palace maids, and Emperor Xingwan sent something over.
....
Rouge Lane, Wangqing Pavilion.
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were sitting in the backyard poetry forest enjoying the snow and drinking. A few red plum trees were blooming particularly beautifully in the snow.
An elegant and beautiful girl poured wine for the two of them and said with a smile: "There is snow and plum blossoms. Why don't you two gentlemen compose a poem?"
A pot of rice wine was burning on the coal stove. He Wenbai poured a glass for Hu Zhiheng and said with a smile: "General Long's poem about plum blossoms is here, we won't show off our ugliness anymore."
The girl smiled and said: "Yes, the bright moon is in the sky, and the light of fireflies can stop."
She compared Long Chen to the bright moon, and He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng to fireflies, but they were not angry.
"Yes, General Long is truly a genius. He is both civil and military. It is rare to see one in five hundred years."
Hu Zhiheng drank a cup of hot rice wine, shook his head and praised.
He Wenbai was about to agree, but the man at the table next to him said drunkenly: "What a genius? He is clearly a devil!"
