Zhou Mi's face was clouded.

However, Chen Tian's expected "storm" did not break out immediately, but calmed down after a while.

Zhou Mi put the broken pen in his hand on the table, picked up a new brush, and continued to write as if nothing had happened.

Although Chen Tian is a well-thought-out old subordinate, and the relationship is far beyond that of ordinary superiors and subordinates, he does not dare to gag at this time at this time.

After finishing the writing, he pondered it in his hand for a moment, then looked at the previous writing next to him, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Alas, this old bastard of Xinyan really lied to me, what kind of writing and concentrating, practicing calligraphy and meditation...... Phew, Lao Tzu is just a big old man, pretending to be literary and artistic."

Chen Tian sighed in his heart when he heard this.

What should come is still coming......

"A bunch of waste, how did Lao Tzu explain to you, now is a critical period, if something like this happens, how can Lao Tzu explain to His Majesty......

The torrential rain lasted for a quarter of an hour.

As soon as the bearded man had "settled" the eldest grandson, he heard the sound of Zhou Mi in the low room, and he immediately shuddered.

"It's over, it's over, what's going on......

The bearded man, who was too frightened to be curious, hurried away from the low house.

Zhou Mi looked at Chen Tian in front of him, and he was so angry that he was short of words for a while.

"You...... Forget it, scolding you for being a waste of words......

Chen Tian raised his head at this time, and there was a trace of shame on his face.

"Boss, you're right. A dog like me doesn't deserve such a big fuss......

Chen Tian said with a smile on his face, and his shameless words also succeeded in making Zhou Mi laugh.

"You...... You, get out of here."

In the entire Dali Temple, Zhou Mi has no choice but to take the unscrupulous Chen Tian in front of him, and at the same time, Chen Tian is also the person who has been with Zhou Mi for the longest time and is most familiar with Zhou Mi.

Chen Tian knew that Zhou Mi's qi had disappeared at this time, so instead of going out, he sat down with a swagger.

"Boss, I haven't finished reporting to you yet, why did I drive people out."

Zhou Miyan's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he sat down on the main seat as if relieved.

"Not done yet? Forget it, just say it, I'll see if there's anything else to worry about......

Chen Tian immediately reported the three eldest grandsons who broke into the scene of the crime and the subsequent development.

Zhou pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You have done a good job, control the scene, whether you can *** or not, at least the initiative is still in our hands now......

Thinking of this, Zhou carefully habitually asked Chen Tian's opinion first.

"You've been there, tell me what you think."

Chen Tian took a deep breath, the reason why he came to the low house in a hurry to report to Zhou Mi was precisely because of his discovery at the scene of the crime......

Zhou Mi habitually picked up the teacup, ready to listen to Chen Tian's report while tasting tea, but Chen Tian's words made him almost drop the teacup out.

"Do you remember Tang Huai'an's case...... The scenes of the two cases are the same......

"What ......?"

When Chen Tian reported the death of a contestant before, Zhou Mi was just angry. The anger showed that the situation was controllable, and it just made Zhou Mi feel troublesome, and now Zhou Mi was a little panicked.

After all, the "Tang Huai'an case" involved too many big people back then, and there are many inside stories that are still unknown; At the same time, that case can also be regarded as a turning point in the lives of Zhou Mi and Liu Xinyan.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Mi was briefly at a loss when he heard the name "Tang Huai'an Case" again.

But years of experience in solving cases also brought him back to his senses in a few moments.

"The murderers in the Tang Huai'an case back then were Tang Huaide and the maid Lingyue, both of whom have been beheaded for public display. At that time, I personally supervised the beheading, and there is nothing strange about it."

"This official has been judging the case for many years, and I absolutely don't believe what kind of ghost revenge is called for life......

Chen Tian nodded and added, "The insiders involved in this case back then

Very few, but there are not a few who know the facts of the case."

Zhou Mi nodded in agreement, "You and I have come together, there must be a young person who wants to take this opportunity to stir up trouble in the imperial capital."

Although Chen Tian also thinks so, he feels that this case must not be simple, so he added: "I just don't know what unknown 'bureaus' will be involved behind this case......

Chen Tian didn't dare to say any more, and Zhou Mi also stared at him.

The two fell silent at the same time, and after a moment of thoughtfulness, they spoke, "Okay, don't get involved in this matter yet, I have other cases to hand over to you."

Chen Tian wanted to remind Zhou Mi again, but after thinking about it, Lord Zhou was already a Dali Siqing, and he was a big man in the court who could really be in charge, so he gave up.

Zhou Mi walked to the table, took out a file from the upper right corner of the table, and handed it to Chen Tian.

After Chen Tian took the file, he did not open the file directly, but looked at Zhou Mi with inquiring eyes.

Chen Tianben is a rough person, and he has the most headache for the file full of words, so he didn't open the file first but wanted to wait for a thorough introduction to the case first.

"How many times have I said that the scene of the crime must be investigated in person, and the case file must be seen in person......

"Forget it, I'm annoyed by that......

Chen Tian smiled embarrassedly, and understood in his heart that what Zhou Mi said was reasonable, so he pretended to open the file and prepared to read it.

"Okay, okay, you can take the file back and read it slowly, I'll tell you a brief first."

"Recently, there have been frequent cases of missing people in Kaicheng District, and the county government has been unable to deal with it, so they have turned to me for help......

Chen Tian's body stiffened visibly when he heard that it was a disappearance case, and when he heard that it was a missing case, he put the file in his hand on the table next to him.

Although Kaicheng District is nominally the fifth urban area of the imperial capital, it is actually a slum area, and it has never been truly recognized by the imperial capital.

Although there is also a county government in Kaicheng District, the officials and men of the county government all eat dry rice.

Chen Tian had lived in Kaicheng District for so long in his early years, and he understood how the government of those corpses and vegetarian meals oppressed the poor people in Kaicheng District......

"Missing persons? Heh, what kind of wind are the officials and men of the Kaicheng District and County Offices? Got a census? Otherwise, how would you know that someone in your district is missing?"

Chen Tian's words were marked with obvious sarcasm.

Missing persons? I'm afraid that the county government can't even figure out how many people there are in Kaicheng District.

Chen Tian's close relationship with Kaicheng District is clear, and he has also heard of what the Kaicheng District and County Government did in the early years, so he understands Chen Tian's prejudice at this time.

"Chen Tian, the current Kaicheng District and County Government are different......

"What's the difference? It's just that one leech is full and replaced with another."

Zhou Mi said, "Li Dong is now inspecting the county government in Kaicheng District, and it has been almost a year......

"Master Li in Kaicheng District? Is he crazy?"

Chen Tian felt a little incredible, Li Dong is now the head of the household department, and he actually went to Kaicheng District to inspect, and it has been almost a year?

Zhou Mi shook his head and said, "It's not that Li Dong is crazy, it's that he is crazy with Liu Xinyan......

Now Emperor Yaozong gradually ignores the government affairs, and the ordinary trivial matters in the court are basically managed by Liu Xinyan, who is ordered by Shang Shu, and the Dali Temple led by Zhou Mi is another party that Emperor Yaozong used to contain Liu Xinyan.

It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between Liu Xinyan and the three of them in the past has gradually come to an end, and now it has become a dead and old relationship.

Zhou Mi didn't understand what Liu Xinyan was crazy about, so he found an excuse to arrange Li Dong to inspect Kaicheng District, and what was even more outrageous was that Li Dong, who had never been afraid of trouble, actually "readily" agreed.

Chen Tian also understood that if there was no relationship with Li Dong, Zhou Mi would definitely not take care of the county government of Kaicheng District.

They can't be busy with the case in Dali Temple, so how can they have time to take care of such a "small case" as the disappearance of people.

With Li Dong, Chen Tian is willing to believe that the county government of Kaicheng District is not "playing ball."

But it is a bit "overkill" for him to investigate such a case as a missing person.

"There is already a large floating population in Kaicheng District, and it is common for the poor among them to travel hundreds of miles to the city to make a living, and some of them want to save trouble and live directly in other cities, and it is normal to come back after finishing their livelihood...... Is Master Li really sure that these people are missing? And not for some other reason?"

Zhou Mi naturally knew what Chen Tian said, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "This time, Li Dong went to Kaicheng District to inspect the area, and the first thing was to census the population...... I don't know if I don't know, in the past 10 years alone, the Kaicheng District has lost nearly 30,000 people......

"Thirty thousand?"

Chen Tian was also shocked that so many people had been lost from the imperial capital, and the imperial court had no idea about it.

At the same time, this also proves once again from the side that the imperial court does not attach importance to the Kaicheng District.

"Are these people missing? Or is it a normal migration?"

Zhou Mi nodded, and then said, "It is true that most of them are as you said before, some of them left the imperial capital to earn a living, and some of them died naturally......

Zhou Mi didn't elaborate, but Chen Tian knew that the normal death in his mouth must not only be birth, old age, sickness and death, but also a lot of freezing death, starvation, and even being beaten to death.

But this is the Kyushu Continent, and the lives of the poor are like mustard, not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in other places.

Zhou Mi continued, "But even with that, there are still a large number of people who have disappeared for no apparent reason."

It wasn't until this time that Chen really paid attention to it. He came from Kaicheng District, even if he never went back for some reason after so many years, but in his heart he still regarded it as his roots.

Chen Tian understands how hateful the poor people in Kaicheng District are, and they can do anything to survive, but he still regards these people as his compatriots, because he knows that they are just to live.

Isn't that the same with me many years ago......

"Chen Tian, I arranged for you to take over this case, on the one hand, because you are familiar with Kaicheng District, and on the other hand, because Li Dong is there, you can directly ask him for help if you have anything......

After saying this, Zhou Mi actually took a few steps closer to Chen Tian, and then lowered his voice a little and said, "This case may not be as simple as going missing......

Chen Tian's eyes froze, and when he looked at Zhou Mi again, he had already turned his back.

"Okay, you take the file back and study it carefully, and this case must find out a result."

Chen Tian still had some questions in his mind, but he knew that it was not a good time to ask.

After Chen Tian received the order, he prepared to leave.

"By the way, how many people did you bring back?"

Zhou Mi stopped Chen Tian.

"You mean the three of you? Oh, I've got the beard and them to start the trial, but don't get your hopes up, I don't think there are any useful clues."

"The trial has begun? On what floor?"

"First floor. Don't worry, I can't arrange this matter, how can I mess with you."

Chen Tian regained his unstingy appearance.

Zhou Mi shook his head helplessly, if Chen Tian could restrain this banditry, it would not be a small chaban.

"But ......"

Chen Tian thought of the Nameless Talisman Master and hesitated again to speak.

"Huh?"

"Forget it, it's nothing, I'll go back and read the file."
