After noon, Pei Jing reported the statistics to Qin Jin with a solemn face.

"In addition to the sixty-nine women who were not killed, the number of bodies exhumed from the yard has increased to fifty-one......"

"Anything else you haven't dug up?"

From Pei Jing's tone, Qin Jin could tell that the excavation work should not be over yet.

Pei Jing nodded gloomily.

"The house slaves of the Feng Mansion pointed out that Feng Ang has been so evil for nearly ten years, but I am afraid that there are already a lot of bones underground!"

Jingzhao Yin Wang Shou entered the palace to face the saint, and he has not returned yet. He couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, Colliers was the closest person to today, even if his sons and daughters were very inferior. If Gao Lishi strives for the Son of Heaven and bypasses the bloodline of this junior of the Feng family, the Son of Heaven may not be moved.

"The last general has strictly ordered the news to be blocked, and the nearby mansions have also been emptied, just waiting for the Son of Heaven to be judged!"

He was reminding Qin Jin that the current situation was still under control, and if the Son of Heaven really intended to spare Feng Ang's life, as long as the news crisis spread, it would be very easy to deal with.

However, Qin Jin said: "Do you think it is still possible for the Son ......of Heaven to let Feng Ang go?

This is the list that the maid has just asked and compiled, which records in detail the surname, family and place of origin of each victim woman. Pei Jing took it, and after only a few glances, he couldn't help but jump suddenly in his temples.

There is the family of Princess Changshan, the family of the Duke of Xunguo, and the names of a group of princes and nobles.

However, after Yang Xingben came forward to join in the fun and take a few looks, he also sighed and said: "Feng Ang has quirks, not only likes women from good families, but also all of them are from noble backgrounds!"

Yang Xingben's words gave Qin Jin a wake-up call, maybe this was Feng Ang's criterion for selecting the target prey. From a medical point of view in later generations, Feng Ang was likely to be a person with serious mental illness, but now in the Tang Dynasty, if these evil things he did were exposed in broad daylight, he might be regarded as a devil who escaped from hell!

The air was filled with bursts of rancid stench, this was not the first time for Qin Jin, he had also experienced this kind of battle in the great battle of Xin'an. However, compared with the thousands of corpses, it was the dozens of corpses excavated in this courtyard that made him even more shocked.

Qin Jin looked at the sky a little impatiently, he was now used to judging the time by observing the position of the sun. Now that it is almost time, there is no news from Jingzhao Yin Wangshou. He was also secretly worried, not knowing what the attitude of the Son of Heaven was.

……

After sending away Jingzhao Yin Wangshou, Li Longji's anger seemed to gradually stabilize, and for some reason he let out a long sigh. Perhaps because of his age, many times he had to repeatedly entangle many decisions in personal friendship, which was rarely seen in his prime.

"General, come and see!"

For Li Longji, the Gaolishi in front of him is both a slave and a friend, and he has been together for fifty years until now, so that he can no longer distinguish the boundary between the two.

He gave Gao Lishi the supreme glory and the power above ten thousand people under one person, and even the powerful prime ministers such as Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong were inferior to Gao Lishi in front of Gao Lishi.

Li Longji not only called Gao Lishi a general, but even his crown prince Li Heng had to respectfully call Gao Lishi "brother" when he saw Gao Lishi, and the rest of the princes and princesses had to call him "Weng", and the concubines and other generations even called him "Ye".

With such a great prestige as a eunuch, two thousand years ago, I am afraid that only Zhao Gao of the Qin period can compare. However, in Li Longji's eyes, the two are not the same.

He knew very well that Feng Ang was the only bloodline in the three Colliers brothers, and if he was dealt with according to the law, he was only afraid of ......

At the moment when Li Longji was born, Gao Lishi knelt on the ground and cried: "Although Da Lang is the nephew of the old slave, but the Tang Dynasty has its own law, such a sensational evil thing, if you open up to him, it will damage the majesty of the saint." The old slave begs the saint not to tolerate this brute!"

After that, Gao Lishi couldn't speak, and lay on the ground and couldn't cry.

The old slave's sad voice made Li Longji's heart feel compassionate, and his previous anger faded a lot.

"Hurry up, get up, what is this doing? I didn't say that I would definitely deal with it severely!"

Although Li Longji said it very vaguely, it was already tantamount to telling Gao Lishi that this case must be investigated, but Feng Ang may not be sentenced to death. Unexpectedly, Gao Lishi was so steep that he suppressed his crying, and hurriedly dissuaded: "The saint must not tolerate that beast, with Jing Zhaoyin's performance, most of the victimized women are from the noble relatives in the city, if the treatment is not fair, it will inevitably affect people's hearts!"

This sentence was serious and long-hearted, which made Li Longji suddenly wake up, and now it is different from the past. If An Lushan had not rebelled, this kind of murder might have been forced to continue. But now it is a difficult situation at home and abroad, and it is necessary for the court to work together, and if people are dissatisfied because of this, the consequences will be difficult to predict.

Thinking of this, Li Longji made up his mind to thoroughly investigate the case. He picked up the imperial pen on the desk, and wrote an edict between the dragon and the snake.

"Quickly send people to pass on Wang Shou!"

Gao Lishi wiped away his tears, took the edict that the Son of Heaven had just written, and staggered out of the palace.

……

The news that Wang Shou brought back made everyone very indignant, because although the Son of Heaven expressed his anger, his attitude was extremely ambiguous, and he did not seem to have made a decision. And Wang Shou, after last night's excitement, seems to have relapsed and become timid and cowardly.

"The Son of Heaven seems to be deliberately covering up, and Zhonglang will have to control the proportions, and he must not leak out these terrifying things!"

Before Wang Shou's words were finished, Pei Jing, who had always been cautious in his words and deeds, couldn't help but scold anymore.

"Bird! If such an evil is tolerated, is there any heavenly reason?"

One sentence frightened Wang Shou so much that he hurriedly whispered: "General Pei is cautious, cautious ......"

Qin Jin's face was cold, and the heart in his chest became more and more cold, Li Longji was so old and faint that he couldn't see the great impact of this case on people's hearts? Unless he also killed the sixty-nine innocent women who had been rescued, in the past ten years, countless families in Chang'an City who had gone missing would have a grudge against the Li Tang Dynasty, which was in danger and was in danger.

"Send an order, send people to the prefectures according to the list to inform, let them come and collect people!"

Pei Jing went as promised. Wang Shou panicked, "Why is Zhonglang reckless? The sage has not yet issued an edict, if so, if it is, if it is ......"

Qin Jin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then sneered: "Now that the matter is over, does the envoy still think that there is a way back?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses all over the ground and said angrily: "Open your eyes wide, see what these are? Behind each corpse there is a soul, and we hold the official weapon of the state in our hands, if we don't avenge the grievances for them, aren't we afraid that in the middle of the night, the unjust ghosts will ask for their lives?"

Qin Jin's words made Wang Shou tremble, and he didn't know where to start with a large section of exhortation prepared in his stomach.

"Whether you approve it or not, Qin is ready to investigate this case to the end......"

If Li Longji really wanted to be confused and listen to Gao Lishi's slander, Qin Jin would force him to comply. As for that Gao Lishi, he is not afraid of offending this person, there are many people who have offended in Chang'an for a few months, Yang Guozhong is the first to bear the brunt, even Gao Xianzhi has a lot of complaints about him, what does it matter if there is one more Gao Lishi now? After all, there are more lice and he is not afraid of biting.

Qin Jin summoned his subordinates one after another, and explained them one by one, and Wang Shou, who looked straight at him, was shocked.

"Zhong, Zhonglang General, three, think twice before acting......"

However, after half an hour's effort, a large number of carriages and horses suddenly gathered outside the main workshop. If you don't know the details, you will think that it is a hunting tour of the noble relatives in the city. But this is a place where the common people live, so what are they doing here?

"Labor, a certain is the ...... of the Xunguo Mansion"

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe seemed to be unable to speak.

The Shenwu Army sent a forbidden army to guard it outside the Wubenfang, and only the families on the list were allowed to enter.

Lu Qi was in charge of the reception, raised his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he didn't know him, so he further interrogated in order to confirm his identity:

"Honoring the first name?"

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy and a little embarrassed. After all, the daughter of the family suffered such a tragedy, and she also lost the face of the clan, if it weren't for the love of flesh and blood, I was afraid that she would be ignored for life, just as she died!

Lu Qi also realized that his attitude was too harsh, so he ordered the forbidden army behind him to lead the middle-aged man to the workshop to lead people.

A large car also slowly drove into the main workshop.

"The edict of the Son of Heaven, where is Jingzhao Yin Wangshou?"

Wang Shou was in the door, and when he heard this, he suddenly ran out as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Jing Zhao Yin Wang Shou is here!"

The eunuch who passed the edict did not raise his eyelids, and unfolded the edict and read: "Feng An's case is appalling, the ten evils are unforgivable, and it is not enough to reassure the people if it is not thoroughly investigated, so I immediately ordered Jingzhao Yin Wang Shou and Shenwu Army Zhonglang General Qin Jin to thoroughly investigate this case!"

When the eunuch read out the edict, Wang Shou was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and he couldn't imagine that the kung fu emperor had already made a decision in less than an hour. His bet is right, as long as the scenery of this big case is clearly investigated, Jing Zhaoyin's position will be secured.

In fact, this case was not very difficult in the first place, the facts are clear, the evidence is there, as long as the power game behind it is settled, everything is just a matter of procedure. And this edict of the Son of Heaven does not show that Gao Lishi behind Feng Ang does not seem to have been able to deceive the Son of Heaven.

Until nightfall, when the lantern was held, there were only thirteen families who went to the Wubenfang to claim the missing daughter, and the remaining fifty-six hard-working women were either no one cared about at home, or their families did not admit that there was such a person at all, and said that she would be dead long ago!
