These days in Kyoto are extremely eventful, and incredible things always happen at the feet of the Emperor.
The disappearance of Bo Li Yi from Chang'an County had not yet completely ended. The death of the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry was like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, causing huge waves again.
People are talking about this a lot. This is not the first time something like this has happened.
Only a short time had passed since the son of Wairo, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, was poisoned, and another dandy with a higher status and a more famous reputation in Kyoto disappeared from everyone's sight forever.
This makes ordinary people feel very unsafe.
This is in Kyoto. Even the lives of the families of powerful officials cannot be guaranteed. Aren't ordinary people like them even more dangerous?
When you go out to buy groceries, you have to worry about whether someone will hack you to death. When you go to a restaurant to eat, you have to wonder whether someone will poison your food. When you go to a brothel to have fun, you have to worry about whether the prostitute will be in your last life
Stab a knife when you are having fun...
When people lose their sense of security, they will naturally become resentful.
There are a lot of complaints and worries in the streets and alleys, with hooks and tiles.
The next thing is left to the censor who is disguised and lurking in every corner.
In less than half a day, the Yushitai's pile of documents like snowflakes was piled on the emperor's desk.
In the court hall, all the officials were silent. Emperor Jing sat on the dragon throne and said nothing. The atmosphere was extremely depressed.
A censor came out and said: "Your Majesty, those thieves are so crazy. This case has had a great impact in Kyoto. If it is not eliminated in time, there will be unrest among the people."
"Yes, if this case is not investigated strictly, I'm afraid they will be even more outrageous in the future. How can the government have any face under the emperor's feet?"
Everyone knows that His Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, and only a few censors dared to speak at this time.
"Liu Yishou, who is responsible for this case, have you found out?" After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Jing's voice came slowly.
Liu Yishou, who was wearing official uniform, stood up from the crowd, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this case has just been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, and I have sent people to investigate it strictly."
"Strict investigation?" A voice came from behind Liu Yishou. Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry came out and said: "The criminal who killed my son was obviously related to those two women, but Liu Shilang turned a blind eye to those two people. This is Liu Shilang
Is that a strict investigation?"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry had just died of his son, which was extremely tragic. As soon as his words came out, Liu Yishou immediately became the focus of the palace.
"What two women, what's going on?" Emperor Jing asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, my son had some conflicts with two women last night. He stayed away all night and died unexpectedly this morning." The Minister of Industry said in a sad voice: "Servant Liu knew that those two women were the key to the case, but he ignored them.
They turned a blind eye, leaving me to doubt..."
After a moment of silence, the hall began to become a little noisy.
They have all heard of Liu Yishou. He is a master of solving crimes. He is a genius in investigating and interrogating cases. He is highly valued by His Majesty. In just over a year, he was promoted from a small detective to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
.
Everything he has today was given to him by His Majesty, and His Majesty can take these things back at any time.
If in such a serious case, Liu single-handedly protected someone who should not be protected, not only His Majesty, but also many courtiers present would not let him go.
After all, the son of Li Shilang from the Ministry of Industry has died. Who can guarantee that the next person to die will not be someone in their family?
"Is this happening?"
"The Minister of Criminal Affairs is shielding the suspect who killed the son of the Minister of Works?"
"This Liu Yishou is too bold. This case is so important that he, a minister of the Ministry of Justice, can get involved in it?"
…
…
The Minister of Punishment looked at Liu Yishou, with a hint of anxiety on his face, and said, "What is going on? Why don't you report it to your Majesty truthfully?"
The court was a little excited because of the words of the Minister of Industry. At this moment, another figure stood up and said: "I dare to ask Minister Li, I don't know that your son led more than ten killers to kill two weak women last night.
And why?”
As soon as these words came out, the uproar in the court became slightly smaller, and the expression of the Minister of Industry changed slightly.
The bodies of more than ten people were separated, and his son also died. This is the top priority of this case. As for the others, they are not that important.
No one paid close attention to the affairs of those two women. Compared with his son, those two women were so insignificant. They must die. No matter whether Jianren's death had anything to do with them or not, they all had to die!
When he turned to look at the person who made the noise, his expression changed again.
Zeng Shichun, Minister of Household Affairs Zeng Shichun.
The two of them belong to the same lineage of Shu kings, and they are both core figures. Although they are not close friends, they can be considered to have some friendship.
He wouldn't be surprised by whoever said that sentence just now, so why was it him?
"I only know that my son's body is now in the Li family, but nothing has happened to the two women related to the case. I just want to seek justice for my dead child." Minister of Industry.
He lowered his head and said something, looked around, and saw several figures standing out in the court hall.
"What interception?" Emperor Jing asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am about to report this matter to Your Majesty."
Liu Yi cupped his hands and said: "Last night at about 12:00, Li Jianren, the son of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, led more than ten killers to kill two women in a dark alley in Kyoto. Four of the guards protecting the two women
Injured, they were later rescued by a group of mysterious people. When they returned to the scene, those mysterious people, Mr. Li Shilang and the fifteen killers were all missing..."
"It wasn't until this morning that we discovered the bodies of 16 people, including Li Jianren, somewhere in Kyoto."
Emperor Jing frowned. The son of the Minister of Works was killed, and the son of the Minister of Works besieged and killed a woman in Kyoto and was later killed. These are two different characteristics.
"Those two girls, one of them is named Zeng Zuimo." Liu Yishou said.
"Zeng Zuimo?" A trace of doubt appeared on Emperor Jing's face, as if he had heard this name somewhere before.
Liu Yishou explained: "This Miss Zeng is the one who was framed and killed Mr. Chen."
As soon as Liu Yishou said this, the courtiers were stunned.
Last time, the son of a minister of etiquette, Wai Lang, was poisoned and framed for a woman. The case has not yet been concluded, but what is certain is that the person behind the scenes is directly targeting the woman named Zeng.
It's just that last time, because of County Uncle Li's protection, Liu Yishou quickly solved the case, and the man's treacherous plan did not succeed.
But this time, not long after Uncle Li disappeared, someone jumped out so eagerly...
The things behind this are somewhat intriguing.
If we think more deeply, is it possible that County Uncle Li’s disappearance is also...
This is what His Majesty is most concerned about these days. No matter who is involved in this matter, there will be no good results.
Everyone couldn't avoid it. Although Li Jianren died, he still caused a big trouble for his father.
Emperor Jing's face darkened and he asked: "Li Shilang, tell me, what did your son do last night?"
Li Shilang from the Ministry of Industry changed his expression, lowered his head and said, "I don't know..."
"is that you?"
Emperor Jing suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty..." Li Shilang from the Ministry of Industry raised his head with a confused expression.
"Uncle Li disappeared, was it you who did it?" Emperor Jing stood up and looked at him and asked.
Below, the middle-aged man's face was startled, and then he knelt down in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my head that I have nothing to do with the disappearance of Bo Li Yi in Chang'an County!"
"The son of the minister, I am going to kill two women with my killer. I have a group of good ministers!"
Emperor Jing said coldly: "Come here, take down Li Yuankai, the minister of the Ministry of Works. In addition, Dali Temple will cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the Chang'an County Bo, whether it has anything to do with him, and the mysterious force that appeared last night.
Haha, a mysterious force actually appeared under my nose... Let me investigate them all! Investigate them thoroughly!"
…
Today's morning court ended very late, and His Majesty got angry in the court hall - His Majesty got angry a lot these days, and was dismissed and relegated by officials almost every day. But this time, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who died of his son, not only did not get His Majesty's
sympathy, but also involved himself.
The fact that the dead Li Jianren led people to surround and kill two women would not have much impact on Li Shilang.
But this time, what Your Majesty wants to investigate is obviously not just this matter.
Today, all the officials who walked out of the court understood one thing.
