When Le Zhengyu and Master Cao left the palace together to go to the Criminal Department, the waiter of the Criminal Department was standing in the lobby of the Criminal Department in casual clothes and watched his subordinates sort out official documents, and when he saw the princess and Cao Zheng walking in, Zhou Min stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Xia Guan has seen the princess, what a disappointment! And Lord Cao, why did you come to my criminal department? But what happened to Dali Temple that couldn't do the master's big thing? ”

Zhou Min looked at Le Zhengyu respectfully, and then greeted Cao Zheng with a smile, looking at a smiling tiger in Cao Zheng's eyes.

"Lord Zhou doesn't have to be polite, it's not a big deal, this princess and Lord Cao came today to ask Lord Zhou some old things." Le Zhengyu sat down towards the seat pointed by the maid, with a consistent smile on his face, signaling that the two adults did not need to be polite.

"Old things? I wonder what old thing the princess is talking about? The lower officials will definitely know everything. Zhou Min's face almost wrinkled with laughter, and he looked at Le Zhengyu and then at Cao Zheng with inquiring eyes, his face full of doubts.

Without waiting for Le Zhengyu to signal, Cao Zheng cleared his throat and said: "Lord Zhou, can you still remember that the unsolved case ten years ago was the homicide case that occurred in Yixian County before the Chu State came to commit it. ”

Zhou Min listened to Cao Zheng's words, with a look of reminiscence, he stared and thought for a while, and for a while his elbow was on the table, Cao Zheng looked at Zhou Min with expectant eyes, and after a while, Zhou Min spoke out violently.

"Oh! It's that case! I remember. ”

With Zhou Min's sudden jump, Le Zhengyu was still calm, but Cao Zheng, who was closest to Zhou Min, was affected by the tea splashed by the hot tea cup on the table that Zhou Min shook with excitement, if it weren't for the fact that the princess was still there, Cao Zheng would definitely stand up and reason with Zhou Min.

"I said can you not be so surprised, think about it and say remember, what is this!" Cao Zheng looked at Zhou Min with disdain.

Zhou Min ignored the face that Cao Zheng almost brought in front of him, his eyes almost burst out of Venus, and standing up to Le Zhengyu was a big gift.

"Princess, everyone knows that I Zhou Min has no other hobbies in this life, but I love to solve cases, I thought that no one could solve my heart in this life, but now I have met the princess, but the princess wants to reopen the case? The lower officials will do their best to help. ”

Zhou Min's words made Le Zhengyu and Cao Zheng, who were present, look surprised, but they only heard Zhou Min get up by himself, make a mysterious gesture at Le Zhengyu, and then said: "The princess doesn't know, the case was very strange back then, it was a time of turmoil, and it is said that there was a legend in Yixian County back then. ”

"What legend? How did I not know? Cao Zheng looked at Zhou Min with a surprised expression, as if Zhou Min deliberately lied to him.

"What legend is it that your Lord Cao naturally didn't know, you probably only thought about running for your life at that time, right?" Zhou Min looked at Cao Zheng with a mockery on his face, and by the way, he held back his eyes with his not too big eyes.

Cao Zheng was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, but Le Zhengyu, who was observing his words and watching quietly on the side, saw that Zhou Min, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Cao Zheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, were obviously a pair of masters who loved and killed each other and despised each other.

At that time, there was a folk legend that the chaotic Buddha descended into the world, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, which coincided with the continuation of the fireworks in the troubled times, which made the people who suffered all day long panic, and this legend became more true.

At that time, some women lost their underwear, and some women came to the yamen to report the case because they were afraid, saying that someone had entered their room, but the people who came were in a state of confusion and could not tell the reason for the incident.

The yamen did not collect conclusive evidence or matters related to the case for several days, so the case was later closed.

But just a few days later, all the women who had reported the case died, and the yamen also sent people to investigate.

A large number of displaced people poured into the Jiangnan area, Yixian County almost became an empty city, and the case files were also lost in the war, and everything could not be investigated. ”

Zhou Min's voice fell, and there was still a little bit of confusion in his tone, but Le Zhengyu listened to it.

"What's the legend?" Le Zhengyu asked.

"Oh! Legends... At the time of the opening of the Jimo Continent, one of the priests of the Five Continents was greedy for the paradise he had created, and he was greedy for a while, so that Ji did not return to heaven with other priests, and he stayed in the world for a long time, and regarded the world as his plaything.

The life span of the gods is extremely long, almost immortal, immortal, and indestructible, and for such a long time, the priests often visit the world, often haunting women's boudoirs, and taking pleasure in it.

There are also people who say that they saw the priest himself in their sleep at night, but when they describe it in detail, they are slurred and do not know what to do, and folk rumors say that the memory of the priest was erased by the priest at that time. ”

"But why do you say that this priest left in the world is a chaotic Buddha?"

Le Zhengyu looked at Zhou Min with a mysterious face and Cao Zheng with a curious face, Cao Zheng stared at Zhou Min with his mouth open, as if to say why Zhou Min knew so much, he had been with him all the time, but he didn't know it.

"Because it is said that the priest was blinded by filth in the human world, and gradually became demonized, and the priest remained in an environment that did not belong to him, and he had long forgotten who he used to be, and probably forgot his duty! Later, it was rumored that any bad thing would be associated with this chaotic Buddha anyway, who knows! It's just a legend, and the princess doesn't have to take it seriously. ”

As soon as Zhou Min's voice fell, Le Zhengyu didn't ask anymore, just nodded lightly, and Cao Zheng on the side looked at Zhou Min with suspicion.

"What is this? A mere legend that I heard from somewhere is so demagogic that the official doesn't believe in these messy things, and the priest doesn't believe it. ”

Cao Zheng is a stubborn temper, it can be said that he can be the Dali Siqing that Jimo Yu likes, and his temper is naturally extremely upright, and he is also unstoppable, and he poured out the annoyance in his heart.

"Oops! Look at you, it's your stubborn temper, you were such a stubborn temper in Yixian County in the early years, and later came to the capital, you are still like this, that is, why didn't I hand over the public responsibility to you back then, look at your temper, what is the strength of a myth and legend that doesn't matter! ”

Zhou Min bowed to Le Zhengyu, and glanced at Cao Zheng with a slight reprimand, his face full of embarrassment, as if he was afraid of conflicting Le Zhengyu.

Cao Zheng also felt that his words were heavier, but there was some conflict, and then he reached out and scratched his head, looked at Zhou Min and said, "Regarding that old case, is there really no case file left from that year?" ”

Zhou Min nodded and looked at Le Zhengyu: "Princess, I don't know why you suddenly brought up that case?" ”

"Because, recently, Tongguan Town seems to have a similar situation as it did back then." Le Zhengyu said lightly.

"Huh? Is the princess going to investigate the case herself? Zhou Min's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Le Zhengyu with great anticipation.

"I don't want to cause death or injury to others due to negligence, or if it is the same case as ten years ago, there must be a woman who will die in a few days, so I want to stop one or two in advance." Le Zhengyu said lightly.

After the three of them discussed it together, after some discussion, they decided to conduct a secret investigation of the case, and if it was the same as ten years ago, then they must first send someone to secretly protect several women who recently came to the government to report the case.

At this time, they are in the light, the murderer is in the dark, and if you are not careful, you will startle the snake, so in the afternoon of the same day, several officials of Dali Temple arrested the women who came to report the case on the street, and the women begged for mercy regardless of the arrest, but the people of Dali Temple were merciless, and they took people away.

After all, compared to life, what is the reputation of that moment? In order not to be discovered by people hiding in the shadows, Dali Temple arrested all the vendors who came out to sell flowers on the street or occupied public land on the street to buy and sell goods.

When he arrived at Dali Temple, Le Zhengyu walked out from behind the curtain, with a light smile on his face, and several girls in front of him also recognized the princess, and they begged for mercy, saying that they would never dare again.

Le Zhengyu opened his mouth and said: "You begged for mercy like this, do you know what mistakes you have made?" ”

The girls with tears in their eyes were all stunned, and this is how they felt wronged! They still went out to earn a few small bucks as usual, but who knew that the officers and soldiers suddenly arrested people everywhere and brought them into Dali Temple together, and there was really nowhere to say about grievances!

"You have not made a mistake, and I have asked you to come here to inquire specifically about the case you reported to the Yamen a few days ago."

As soon as Le Zhengyu's words fell, a woman with willow eyebrows raised her eyebrows said dissatisfiedly: "Then you should call us gently?" This is unreasonable, we haven't been out of the cabinet yet, how can we get married if it is spread out like this! ”

"This girl has commendable courage, and she must be very willing to cooperate with the government to handle the case, tell me what is your name?" Le Zhengyu looked at the girl and praised her.

The woman is still young, but she is also considered to be the oldest among these people, she listened to the praise, her simple face flashed with joy, and then she spoke: "The slave's name is Cuiqing, and she is also the person who came to report the case a few days ago. ”

Le Zhengyu looked at the other girls, and selected a few, and when everyone was full of doubts, Le Zhengyu said: "I didn't really arrest you today, and you didn't make any mistakes, but there are some things to tell you in private." ”

"All of you are the ones who lost your underwear that night, and most of you say that you saw someone approaching your bedroom in the middle of the night, and some even felt that the person had walked into your side, this case is very strange, so as not to startle the snake, we decided to do this...."

Le Zhengyu told the plan in front of a few people who were selected, and several people were obviously a little scared, but when Le Zhengyu told them about the stakes, several people gradually began to muster up their courage, and some people also asked a few questions about their own safety.

When sending a group of people out of the house, Cao Zheng at the door personally announced to everyone that in the future, once Tongguan Town found that it was openly occupying the street to do business, all of them would be punished according to the law, so that those people would be acquitted because they did not know it in advance, and they would not be an example.

This small turmoil calmed down in Cao Zheng's resolution, and Cao Zheng even said that the government issued an announcement yesterday, and finally found the notice of the announcement in the home of an old woman, who said that she was illiterate and lacked wood at home, so she tore up the fire early in the morning.

After figuring out what happened, Cao Zheng finally sent someone to chop some firewood for the old woman, telling the old woman not to tear up the official announcement at will in the future, and the matter came to an end.
