The next morning, Monalo came, looking hurried, and said, "Prime Minister, something happened." ”

"What?" Not long after Yu Wentai got up, it was time to enjoy the leisurely morning light, when he was suddenly disturbed and his mood was very unpleasant.

"Recently, someone reported to the River Department that the Shichio River in the city was blocked. Because the Nanao River is connected to the Miyagi River, the River Department thought that it was caused by the accumulation of silt and garbage in the river, so it immediately sent people down to the river to clean it up, and the corpse was cleaned up. ”

"If there is a murder, let Dali Temple investigate, do you need to report to Lonely?"

"The river department immediately reported to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple immediately sent people to hire a few river workers to go down to the river to fish, this fishing is terrible, and seven corpses were fished out, and they were all young female corpses!"

There was a vicious incident in Chang'an City. Yuwentai raised his eyes.

"Have you checked the missing persons? The deceased are all young women, have you checked the music fang in the area of Bahe? Recently, have any courtiers in Chang'an frequently bought maidservants at home? Do these have to be lonely to remind Dali Temple? Does Lone even have to take care of the prison now?! Yu Wentai frowned, very displeased.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Monaro said cautiously: "Dali Temple has already investigated, and each corpse has a large number of scars caused by beatings, and the deceased have all died from his homicide, some have been strangled to death, and some have been beaten to death. They were not killed at the same time, but they were all killed in the last year. Moreover, the corpses were stripped of their coats, and Dali Temple deduced that their coats should reveal their identities or where they came from, so they were taken away by the murderer. So, these victims should be from the same place. ”

Since Dali Temple has already checked so much, just continue to investigate, but why do you have to report to Yuwentai here? Yu Wentai asked: "Is it that Dali Temple has found some eyebrows, but the case behind it is very complicated, and even Dali Temple Qing can't start?" ”

Monalou paused and said, "I wouldn't have found the source so quickly, but when I did the autopsy, I found half a waist tag on a corpse, and the condition was still relatively new. As he spoke, he handed over a rubbing.

Yu Wentai recognized at a glance that it was the waist card used by the palace maids in the palace city when they entered and exited the palace gates, and the names of each palace were engraved on them, and they could not be borrowed from each other. And on this rubbing, it is the word "Yongji". The bottom half of the pole is truncated, but it is still legible.

Yu Wentai's eyes narrowed, and his eyes sank. This half of the waist card clearly points to the Yongji Palace.

And Yongji Hall is the residence of Princess Gaoping.

This case actually involved Princess Gaoping, no wonder the people in Dali Temple didn't dare to investigate.

It was as if in the deep darkness he suddenly spotted a faint light.

When Emperor Wei Ming formulated the "Wei Law", he formulated the Eight Deliberations System on the basis of the "Zhou Li: Eight Pi" to reduce the punishment for the crimes of privileged figures. This first discussion is the "discussion of relatives", which refers to the relatives of the emperor and the country.

However, in the "Twenty-four Articles" just implemented by Yuwentai, Dali Temple formulated the "Ten Articles" (1) for serious crimes at the beginning of the "Wei Law". That is, if you commit these ten serious crimes, even within the scope of the Eight Deliberations, you cannot be exempted. And one of these ten is "unreasonable", that is, committing murder.

Yuwentai suddenly smiled: "Qingshan, this matter, let's help Dali Temple check it." ”

At noon, Yu Wentai appeared at the door of the princess's mansion.

When Princess Gaoping saw him suddenly arrive, she was overjoyed and welcomed him in, pulling him as she walked and asked, "Why is Lang Jun free to come over today?" ”

Yuwentai smiled shallowly: "It's okay today, I thought that the princess hadn't been here since she opened the mansion, so I passed by today, so I came in to have a look." ”

Yongxing smiled charmingly: "I don't know if Lang Jun likes it or not." I'm afraid you'll not like it. ”

Yuwentai looked around, the grass and trees were lush, and the pavilions were gorgeous, and it was simply the entire Yongji Hall that was moved over. He nodded, "Very good." ”

Today's Yuwentai is very different from the past, not only did he take the initiative to come, but he also seemed to be in a particularly good mood. Yongxing wondered if he had figured it out or stood with the royal family.

Throughout the afternoon, Yu Wentai patiently accompanied Yongxing in the princess's mansion, secretly observing every maid in her mansion.

Each of the maids was young, but each of them had a slight and even a little trembling that did not match their age at all. This attitude is diametrically opposed to the little maids who giggle all day long in Yuwen Taipu Garden.

One or two of the little maids were obviously sparser than the other maids, like newcomers.

The more difficult it is for the master to serve, the more the subordinate will be walking on thin ice. Yu Wentai already understood three points in his heart.

"Why is Lang Jun always stunned today?" Yongxing looked at him with a grin.

Yu Wentai suddenly came back to his senses: "I suddenly wanted to do something in the court, so I was distracted." ”

Yongxing frowned slightly: "Since Lang Jun is here, can't he talk to Yongxing wholeheartedly?" ”

Yuwentai was patient: "It's Yuwentai who is rude." Princess, no wonder. ”

Yongxing looked at the new little maid that Fang Cai Yu Wentai was watching, and said with a sour smile: "I see that Lang Jun has been watching Qin Meng, is it because of her?" If Lang Jun likes her, after we get married, I will give her to you. ”

The little maid opposite knelt down with a puff, nodded her forehead to the ground, and pleaded with a crying voice: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

Yongxing snorted with a smile: "Yuwen Lang is willing to want you to be your life, don't you dare anything?" ”

Yu Wentai hurriedly said, "The princess misunderstood, I wasn't looking at her." He was worried that when he went out, this maid named Qin Meng would be poisoned by her, and added: "Yuwentai made up his mind in his early years to stay with only one woman until he was old, and never took a concubine." ”

Yongxing smiled sweetly, reached out and picked up a yellow apricot from the fruit bowl on the small table next to him and handed it to Yuwentai, and said in a coquettish voice: "Yongxing really didn't see the wrong person. Then Yuwenlang would like to peel an apricot with me? ”

Yu Wentai looked at her delicate and peerless face, reached out and took the apricots between her fingers, and thought to himself, it is often said in the book that femme fatales have a living one in front of them.

After he returned, he ordered someone to get back the personnel records of the Yongji Hall for nearly a year. Sure enough, there was a note in the record that seven palace maids were released from the palace, and each time a new person was added as usual shortly after.

Seeing the personnel records, Yu Wentai's heart became heavy. It seems that the seven palace maids all died in the Yongji Palace. Seven Lives...... How could a royal princess with a peerless appearance commit such a murderous crime!

Thinking that this woman would soon become his wife, Rao was Yuwentai, who had experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield and calmly advanced and retreated in the court, and also felt a chill on his back.

Yu Wentai closed the personnel records and fell into deep thought.
