Du Changshi only said that the third prince wanted to inquire about something, so he tricked Master Lan into coming to the prince's residence.
This is Du Changshi's selfish intention. After all, Chief Lan is named Lan and lives not far from Lan Gong's Mansion and Lan Hou's Mansion. If a fuss breaks out, firstly, the situation will be aggravated, and secondly, Chief Lan must be a human trafficker in this matter.
The core figure in the incident must be firmly controlled in order to get to the bottom of it. And only by getting to the bottom of it can His Highness, who has lost power in the court, return to the center of the court.
As for the bad relationship between the Third Highness and the East Palace, it is not considered by Du Changshi at all. Du Changshi is a few years older than Mu Anzhi, and he is only twenty-five this year. Young people do not have so much consideration when doing things, they just do what they say.
Done!
As soon as Lan Sizhong arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he was immediately detained and supervised. The two attendants he brought were also supervised. Something was wrong with him as governor, and he was already unable to fly.
After Du Changshi captured Lan Sizhong, he returned to Mu An, who was delighted and said, "Okay, it's quite neat."
Du Changshi asked, "Your Highness, do you want to be interrogated?"
"Why don't we invite him to breakfast if we don't want to put him on trial? The trial will begin immediately!"
"He's the head of the Internal Affairs Department. It's nothing to worry about. What we did last night should be reported back to the Queen Mother."
"The princess has entered the palace." Mu Anzhi patted the armrest lightly and stood up, "Let's go to interrogate Lan Sizhong."
Du Changshi followed Mu Anzhi, "Can the empress explain such a big thing clearly?"
"What's so unclear about such a trivial matter?"
As soon as Lan Sizhong entered the prince's mansion, Hua Changshi, holding his beautiful beard, immediately went to Lan's house with the housekeepers and called Butler Lan. He only said that Master Lan had something to do and asked him to follow his orders. These were the ladies from last night.
The money they get from the confessions they make will be handed over to the head of the Lan family.
This is where Chief Lan is smarter than those hateful women in the Salesian Bureau. He does not intervene in the matter personally, but has someone in the middle, that is, he has a scapegoat standing in front of him.
Mr. Chen and his deputy Mr. Chen, together with the strong servants of the palace guards, raided the lair of the group of human traffickers last night and arrested a housekeeper in the Imperial Palace this morning!
This is also the reason why Mu Anzhi could only let Li Yuhua enter the palace. He had to stay in the palace and arrest dozens of people with or without official positions. Only Du Changshi and Hua Changshi could not withstand it.
Du Hua and Chen Li were both busy trying the case, and they didn't have enough manpower. Su Jishan, who was originally in charge of lectures, was asked to carry out the Liangping Ceremony of the Ceremony Office, and the two men of the Fengsi Temple.
, the two chief and deputy envoys in charge of the treasury, as well as three high-ranking female officials, Grandma Sun and Sushuang Suxue, were called to help interrogate the confession.
Grandma Sun and Sushuang Suxue asked the victims' children from Salesian Bureau, Juzicang and Infant Bureau for their testimonies. The rest were others, including those who checked accounts, some who asked questions, and some who exhumed corpses.
If you don’t judge, you don’t know how evil a person can be!
Li Yuhua was not idle in the palace either. This matter involved a lot. Empress Dowager Lan invited Emperor Mu Xuan to come over. Emperor Mu Xuan was a little surprised, "I didn't hear about this matter last night."
Li Yuhua said, "If you make a big show of things, you are afraid of making a fuss. The third brother originally wanted to make a surprise inspection to see if the Salesian Bureau and other places were the same as they appeared. Unexpectedly, he encountered a case of buying and selling children. At that time, he also quietly arrested the people."
"Why didn't An Zhi enter the palace?"
"Third brother is holding the line in the mansion. Last night, the traffickers' lair was raided. The saleswoman from the Salesian Bureau recruited Manager Lan, but Manager Lan alone couldn't do this. The Imperial Palace was involved. This must be a secret.
The sale of vines. I guess they started arresting people after I came out. They have to arrest people. Otherwise, when the news gets out, they run away and connect with each other, and it will be difficult to handle." Li Yuhua said, "Just the two elders
Shi couldn't hold it down, and the third brother couldn't get out. He saw that I was still capable of doing things, so he asked me to go into the palace to report to the emperor's grandmother and father."
Emperor Mu Xuan was full of anger towards the imperial capital, and there was such a crazy thing happening under his nose! But he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Yuhua speak. What does "I am still capable of doing things" mean? This boast sounded fresh, and Emperor Mu Xuan's mood
He softened a little and said, "The officialdom is like this house. If it is not swept for a day, it will accumulate dust. Did An Zhi say anything when he sent you to the palace?"
"Just let me tell the imperial grandmother what happened last night."
Emperor Mu Xuan looked at this bean sprout-like daughter-in-law, and guessed that the third child just asked her to deliver a message. Emperor Mu Xuan discussed with Empress Dowager Lan, "This must not be a case that lasts for one or two years. It's a shame that the crown prince was just appointed yesterday. I will award it to you."
Thirty-three decrees to appease and comfort the people are like this."
Emperor Mu Xuan turned to Li Yuhua in confusion, "Why don't you check it usually, but why did you check it last night?"
"Yesterday was the big day for the establishment of the heir apparent. Father, we have been there a long time ago. The food in the kitchen is very mediocre. The food in the kitchen is all pure brown rice. The mother-in-law in charge eats the same as the children in the courtyard.
Although the food was more frugal, I tasted it OK. But it was full of flaws, the clothes were made of coarse cloth, and the skin and flesh on the head, face, and neck were all tender. When we went there, there were two pots of cheap food in the room.
, but there is still a faint and extremely fragrant aroma. The third brother said that it is the aroma of ambergris, which lasts for a long time. It is the best spice, and one ounce of gold cannot buy one ounce of incense. They were prepared for it, so they had to suddenly
Check. Everyone knew that the third brother would definitely come to the palace to congratulate the ceremony, so they inevitably relaxed their vigilance, so they set it for yesterday, but they did not expect to encounter such a big event." Li Yuhua said, "Not only was there the sale of children yesterday,
, when we went to the kitchen, the brown rice had been replaced by moldy and insect-infested rice noodles, which shows that even the brown rice is fake."
"Strict investigation is necessary!" Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Since this matter involves the Cienhui, we should investigate it together with the Shen and Punishment Department."
Li Yuhua stared at Emperor Mu Xuan with piercing eyes. What about her third brother? It's not okay to hand over the mission to others like this! Emperor Mu Xuan took a breath and said, "Let An Zhi take charge of the mission and tell him
, let him check it out for me!"
"Yes!" Li Yuhua agreed loudly and assured Emperor Mu Xuan, "Father, just don't worry, leave this matter to the third brother and half of it will be done!"
Emperor Mu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. It was the first time he saw his daughter-in-law who had such confidence in his son!
Li Yuhua received Emperor Mu Xuan's instructions and said, "Grandmother, Emperor, father, I will go back now and pass on father's oral instructions to the third brother, so that he can handle the case with peace of mind."
Queen Mother Lan said warmly, "Go."
Li Yuhua bowed out respectfully, and suddenly he saw her swishing out of Ci'en Palace through the window like a little whirlwind. Emperor Mu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "This third daughter-in-law——"
"how?"
Emperor Mu Xuan looked back at his mother and said, "You are very energetic."
Emperor Mu Xuan's chamberlain went to the Criminal Division to convey the order. Li Yuhua took the car back to his residence. Hearing that Mu Anzhi was at the trial court, he went directly to find him.
The guard at the door had seen the prince and concubine riding a white horse into the group of gangsters last night. He didn't stop her. He bowed and led Li Yuhua the way. Listening to the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling inside, Li Yuhua didn't show any fear and just challenged her.
He raised his eyebrows and followed the guard inside to find Mu Anzhi.
Chief Lan knelt on the ground and refused to admit it, arguing bitterly, "It's really the official's lack of strict control that led to this disaster. I swear on my life that if this matter has anything to do with the official, I will be struck by a thunderbolt from heaven."
"
"Why are you here?" When Mu Anzhi saw Li Yuhua coming in from outside, he immediately stood up and waved outside, "If you have anything to do, send someone to look for me. This is not a place for girls. Go out and say something."
"I'm here to deliver a message to you, Third Brother." Li Yuhua was actually quite happy. After all, he got a job for Third Brother. But when he went to the trial court and saw these guys who were full of evil, and when he thought about this case, all the joy in his heart disappeared.
Li Yuhua said sternly, "My father has ordered that you, Third Brother, will be in charge of the trial of this case, and the Department of Punishment will assist you."
Master Lan's kneeling straight body seemed to have been hit by an invisible punch. He was shaken violently and almost fell down. Du Changshi, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He looked at the prince and concubine and saw the prince and concubine continuing, "Father also said
, let Third Brother investigate this case thoroughly!"
"I understand." Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua's hand and walked out. He waited until he was out of the trial room and the sun outside was shining warmly on his body before he said, "If anything happens, just ask someone to find me. This is a place for interrogating prisoners. The atmosphere is filthy."
Seriously, don’t smoke you.”
"What should I do?"
Mu Anzhi also didn't expect that Li Yuhua would handle this matter so neatly when he came to the palace. Looking into her clean eyes, Mu Anzhi handed over another important matter to Li Yuhua, "Salesian Bureau, Juzicang, Infant Bureau"
All the wives have been arrested. Now the people from our government are over there. There must be regulations in these places to recruit people again. How about you take charge of recruiting people?"
"Sure." Li Yuhua has rich experience in recruiting people. Her pupils trembled slightly in the sun, obviously thinking. Li Yuhua quickly said, "It's easy. You can get money every month. There are many people willing to do this."
Mission. The children's confessions can also be used as evidence. Do you want to send someone to record them?"
"Chang Shisi really can't spare anyone, so I sent Grandma Sun and the others over there."
"I'll make arrangements. I think people from Dali Temple will also go there. Don't let them scare those children."
"It's noon now, let's eat first and then do errands."
"Third brother, come with me."
"I'll go in and give instructions to keep these people under guard."
The head of the Department of Precaution and Punishment came in person to listen to the Hou's instructions.
The Chief of Shenxing is used to adjudicating cases and is well-informed, so he will not be like Aunt Sun and others. Aunt Sun is a fifth-rank female official in the palace, a confidant of Empress Dowager Lan, a person who is usually very elegant, and listens to the children.
Talking about the tragic events, I would get angry and curse, and sometimes burst into tears, and I couldn't hold it any longer.
I originally thought it was just the Salesian Bureau, Juzicang, and Baby Home, but it turned out that Anjifang and Leazeyuan were also involved. These children were all falsely claimed to be dead after being sold. Death requires a death document issued by the pharmacy.
Yes, Anjifang is taking this job. As for Luozeyuan, he is responsible for funeral matters and earns a fortune in funeral money.
In addition, a co-author and a fellow intellectual from the Imperial Capital Prefecture were involved.
As for the confessions extracted, they are even more outrageous.
"The first-class children are five or six-year-old children with little memory and their appearance can be adjusted. We can keep them for ourselves and get a high price in the future. The second-class children are slightly inferior in appearance. They know some cooking skills and can handle accounts."
There is a certain price. It depends on their respective lives."
"The disobedient ones will be buried, and the obedient ones will be left."
"The majority of the money we receive goes to the superiors. What we get is just hard-earned money."
"These things were not started by us, they have happened a long time ago."
