Chapter 72: Criminal Department

Jiang Yunyu also had to act in the same way, her legs had just bent down when she was stopped, and the hot heat from her waist was almost spreading all over her body through her skin.

"The people's girls are terrified...... Jiang Yunyu grabbed her clothes and said honestly.

What she was afraid of was not what would happen to Xie Qinglin, but because this day seemed to come a little early, and she was not ready to face it, but when was it ready? Jiang Yunyu didn't know either.

At this moment, she felt that all the people and things around her had disappeared, and she only heard Xie Qinglin whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't hide it from you." ”

How can he be blamed for this? Jiang Yunyu felt that she was still too soft-hearted, and after being reborn, she seemed to be able to forgive everything.

Jiang Yunyu knew from the beginning that this kind of deception was more like a performance, and the actors and spectators all pretended not to know. What's more, in the past two years or so, Xie Qinglin has revealed a lot of information intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Qinglin believed that Jiang Yunyu was shrewd enough to discover the truth by himself from the various clues he revealed.

His hand had not yet been lowered from the soft waist, and he cautiously asked, "Do you blame me?" ”

"Don't dare."

As soon as he heard these two words, Xie Qinglin was like being struck by lightning, and his whole body stiffened. If one looked closely, one could see that his other hand was trembling slightly.

But no one on the scene had the courage to do so.

Moreover, Jiang Yunyu had already told Lan Ting to turn around, and at this time he was bored and squatting on the ground staring at an ant.

He didn't want to see the man named Xie Qinglin.

"But—I have one more question." Jiang Yunyu dragged out her voice and said calmly: "The folk girl is from a humble background and has no long things, I don't know if she can still win the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Xie Qinglin was angry and laughing, his mood experienced a huge ups and downs, he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand, encircled Jiang Yunyu's whole person in his arms, and said close to her ear: "Do you not believe me, or can you not trust yourself?" ”

Wrapped in this hot and humid breath, Jiang Yunyu's ears were visibly red to the naked eye.

"If you are willing, I will ask my father to make you a concubine today!" A gentleman promises to weigh more than a thousand gold.

With his promise, Jiang Yunyu felt that she could let go of anything, whether it was the grievances and obsessions in the previous life, or the complicated affairs in this life, she didn't care about anything.

As long as this person can always be consistent with her, this love will not change, and this heart will not change.

She gently broke free, held him with her own hand, carefully felt the lines of her palm, and showed a natural and shallow smile: "Of course I do, but why rush now, the years are long, and the rest of my life is lucky." ”

The spring breeze passed again, and everything rejuvenated, and they heard the sound of flowers blooming.

Because the Criminal Department often deals with Xing criminals, the officials inside it are more or less contaminated with some gloomy atmosphere, and because there are often legends of "cool officials" and "capital punishment", the outside world even rumors that every green brick in the yamen of the Criminal Department is stained with human blood.

Unless there is something important to go, no one wants to set foot here.

The yamen of the criminal department sits west and faces east, and there is a plaque hanging high on the gatehouse, with a navy blue background, written in two golden characters: "Criminal Department." On the pillars on both sides are written sub-couplets, which probably say that those who are officials should be selfless with an iron face, respect the heavens, and love the people. Jiang Yunyu didn't have time to take a closer look, so she followed Xie Qing and walked in.

Along the way, all the big and small officials saluted to His Royal Highness the Prince, and she stood behind and felt that she really couldn't stand it, and she was a little uncomfortable.

Just after noon, Yangguan sprinkled gently, and as far as Jiang Yunyu's eyes could see, there was a bright spot everywhere, which had nothing to do with the word "gloomy", but it was not as terrifying as people said.

Because of this, it has always been inaccessible, and today I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming here in person, and some officials were full of uncontrollable curiosity, wishing that a pair of eyes could grow in the back of their heads, and they always paid attention to the Prince's movements.

Who wouldn't want to show their face in front of the country's future monarch?

Despite this, the work of the Criminal Department was still running in an orderly manner and did not cause much commotion.

Xie Qinglin obviously didn't want to give them a chance, so he went straight to the Arrest Department without squinting all the way.

A flexible official had already informed Zhao Yan that the prince was coming, so when Zhao Yan saw it with his own eyes, he didn't panic much, but he still showed a flattered look, and welcomed people in with fear.

"I didn't know that His Highness was coming, and the ministers were terrified."

Xie Qinglin was too lazy to waste his words with him, and asked directly and lightly, "Do you have a clue?" ”

"Your Highness." Zhao Yan glanced at the woman who came in with the prince in surprise, after all, he had never heard of the prince being familiar with anyone's young lady, and this one knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, but his face was very raw, he couldn't help but guess what the identity of this person was, but as soon as his eyes swept over, he felt a sharp gaze shoot over, he retracted his gaze and began to get down to business.

"There were eleven criminals in all, and in addition to the six who died in the street for some reason, five others were here. But they gave a happy account, and told everything they knew. ”

Xie Qinglin's pupils shrank and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said the 1510 confessions of the prisoner: "Your Highness, they said that they were assigned by someone, and they got people together for a person called the fifth master to choose, and they could get a lot of money, and the fifth master would pick some of the children they kidnapped and take them away, as for the rest ......"

All of them listened to him quietly with bated breath, and when they saw that he had sold a pass, they all stared at him eagerly.

Jiang Yunyu had a bad premonition, and the next thing would definitely not be something to be happy about.

Zhao Yan seemed to be a little unbearable, closed his eyes and said: "Injured and disabled, make them beg along the street, and when they die, they will be buried in the ground, and the girls will be sold to inferior brothels." ”

Zhao Yan is also a person with sons and daughters, and when he heard those descriptions, he even wanted to kill these people on the spot, which was simply a brute.

A normal person with a conscience is afraid that he will be unbearable when he hears it, how can they do it? He suddenly felt that the six people who died unexpectedly had only received the retribution they deserved, and such a person who had lost his conscience was not wronged by Ling Chi!

Hearing this, Jiang Yunyu's heart tightened, and the young children begging on the roadside inexplicably appeared in her mind, all of them were tortured to the point that they were not human, and there were girls in the inferior brothels...... She couldn't help but think: Lan Qian, does she know what she is going to face, what does she think, so that she will be willing to stay there, obviously she can have a chance to escape.

Why? Why are you so stupid?

In my previous life, I was already guilty of letting you die in vain, so are you going to torture me this time......

Jiang Yunyu was in a trance, feeling that everything around her body had become blurred.

Suddenly, she felt a slight movement on her side, and when she turned her head, it turned out to be Lan Ting on her side trembling slightly, her teeth clenched, and her face turned pale.

What's wrong with him?!

Jiang Yunyu shouted in panic: "Lan Ting! Hurriedly reached out to press his shoulder, because Lan Ting looked like he might be unstable and fall down at any time.

Xie Qinglin, Zhao Yan, and the guards with knives on the side all looked at her, Jiang Yunyu felt that it was inappropriate, this was an official occasion, fortunately, Xie Qinglin helped her out of the siege in time: "What's wrong?" If you're not feeling well, go find a place to rest for a while. Without looking back, he instructed Zhao Yan: "Send someone to take them to a cleaner place." ”

He also noticed the abnormality of Lan Ting's strange child, could it be ......

He had a vague and bold guess.

Zhao Yan, the prince's order, dared not to obey, so he beckoned a small official and asked him to bring the guests over.

After Jiang Yunyu and Lan Ting left, Zhao Yan continued to report to Xie Qinglin respectfully.

After saying some specific details, he asked tentatively: "Your Highness asked me to go through the old case before, could it be that I had expected such a thing to happen?" ”

Xie Qinglin was noncommittal, his face expressionless.

"Your Highness is really like a god." Zhao Yan complimented.

This was the first thing Jiang Yunyu mentioned, Xie Qinglin ignored his praise, as if impatient, "Make it clear." ”

"According to your order, my subordinates looked through the files on the disappearance of children in recent years and found that there was something strange in them."

"The vast majority of them have become unsolved."

"Even if some of them have obvious clues and the truth can be followed, they can't go on inexplicably, and their subordinates don't know why."

He pondered it and said cautiously: "My subordinates think ...... It seems that someone deliberately does not want these things to be exposed......"

It's simply disregard for the king's law and lawlessness.

Maybe we can use this incident as a breakthrough to dig out the previous things.

"I'll ask for myself."

"Your Highness thinks twice."

"Big ...... Spare your life,"

He thought for a while: "Yes...... There is such a person......"

"We don't know where she went."

When Jiang Yunyu heard this, her heart that had been hanging on her calmed down, Lan Qian's girl was used to being smart, and the only person who went out to chase her was the corpse, so presumably she should be safe and sound now......

Who killed him?

What is the relationship between Lan Qian and that person? Will the two of them be in the same place now?

Jiang Yunyu broke his clenched hand and found that the palm of his hand had been pinched by himself, and he didn't know it at all.

She felt a dull pain in her palms and a pain in her heart.

Despite the efforts of all parties to stop it, the construction of Bangyue Tower still started as scheduled.

The Taoist elders deduced the good days and auspicious days calculated by the five elements of the eight trigrams, and sacrificed to the land god and the Luban immortal master.

The emperor even came to the scene to supervise the craftsmen

The sleeves leaned on him weakly and bonelessly, smiling charmingly.

In his previous life, since Xie Qinglin went on a killing spree in Lizhou, the emperor had already complained about him.

The Chen family's plan succeeded, and the effect was unexpectedly good, so they didn't move other crooked thoughts, such as this kind of asking people to enter the palace to try to frame Xie Qinglin.
