After the little guy entered, the rockery closed, and a black shadow squatted on a tree not far away, and the moonlight shone on his cold face, it was Qin Zhou.

He fixed his eyes on the rockery, then jumped down from the tree and hid around the rockery.

He found the position of the little servant, and the next moment the rockery opened, and he flashed and walked in.

It was very dark in the dark passage, there was a long staircase down, it was very quiet inside, Qin Zhou went down in the dark, and after walking for a few minutes, he heard the sound of chains clattering to the ground.

His steps were much faster, not far away was a dark room, in which a dim light shone out, Qin Zhou got closer, and saw two intertwined shadows on the ground.

One of the shadows was chained to his throat, and the little man was about to strangle him.

Qin Zhou didn't hesitate, he stepped forward, the sword body was glowing with cold light, and with a "clang", the chain fell to the ground, and the little guy fell straight into a pool of blood.

Only then did Qin Zhou look at the person lying on the ground holding his throat, it was a scarred woman.

The blood on her clothes was dark red.

Qin Zhou didn't care about her, and looked around, this place was not so much a dark room, but a dark prison.

It was covered with all kinds of torture instruments, and the ground was dark red, which showed that many people had been tortured here.

His brother is not here.

Qin Zhou looked at the woman on the ground and squatted beside her: "Have you seen a beautiful little boy of twelve or thirteen years old here?" ”

Li Niang maintained the last trace of clarity, and her blood-stained hand grabbed the hem of his clothes: "I've seen ......"

Qin Zhou immediately grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Where is he?" ”

Li Niang was cold, her dry lips opened slightly: "Save me......"

When the words fell, he fell heavily to the ground.

Qin Zhou glanced at the woman, stretched out his hand and lifted the woman and landed firmly on his back.

After he left, the rockery closed again......

Shen Guogong's Mansion.

Shen Mingnan looked at the letter handed by Long Qian in the study, saying that Yin'er and Qiaogu would be in the capital in a few days, let him pick them up, and let him settle their residences.

Shen Mingnan frowned, is it a broken leg? Do you want him to pick it up? If he doesn't pick up people, he won't still come to the capital.

But thinking of Long Qian's words, he suppressed his impatience.

The next moment, Yu Qiqi came: "Master, then Jingzhao Mansion Yin didn't find anyone in Xuanping Hou Mansion." ”

Shen Mingnan raised his eyebrows: "It's quite deep." ”

Yu Qiqi's face was solemn: "I didn't find it this time, presumably Jingzhao Mansion Yin is not good at looking for it a second time." ”

"Really?" He looked at the cold moonlight outside the window: "Then give Zhou Cheng a few more opportunities to check." ”

The next day, Zhou Cheng walked to Jingzhao Mansion, and found that there were more than 20 people kneeling outside the mansion, all of them full of sadness, and when they saw Zhou Cheng coming, they all kowtowed to Zhou Cheng.

The leader was a woman, her forehead was broken, and her face was mixed with blood and dirt: "I beg Lord Qingtian to make decisions for my daughter, she was mutilated by Lu Churen five years ago." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng's face turned cold: "Five years ago? Why didn't you sue five years ago, but waited until now? Climbing and biting the powerful indiscriminately will be punished in a prison cell. ”

The woman wiped her tears: "It's not that the women don't tell me, but they threaten me, if I dare to publicize this matter, it will cost the lives of my family, how dare I compete with the dignitaries?" ”

"It's been five years, my daughter has been begging me to avenge her in my dreams every night, I hate my cowardice again and again, and I didn't even dare to avenge her, until yesterday I heard that the Kong family sued the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and it was he who gave the women courage, so the women didn't want to endure it anymore."

"It doesn't matter if he wants to kill or kill the women of the Marquis of Xuanping, I just want to avenge my daughter!"

"The women are willing to suffer from the 20th board, and they also want to sue his Lu family!"

After saying that, she kowtowed again.

Everyone in the back cried and asked him to call the shots, the children all disappeared a few years ago, the most recent was last year, and there were even immature boys among them.

Zhou Cheng stared at them, twenty-five people, so many people died in five years?

This is no longer a trivial matter, and if it is more serious, it is a serial crime, but this group of innocent and poor people dare to sue now.

Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice: "This matter will be reported to the emperor, and this official will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian."

Since the matter was accepted, Zhou Cheng did not hesitate, and immediately went to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

When Cheng Shengquan saw that it was Zhou Cheng, he thought that he had ordered him to go down and check what he had done, and he also had a headache, and he didn't want to move Shen Mingnan, he just hoped that he would bring better news.

"Announce him in."

Zhou Cheng hurriedly came in and bowed: "My Emperor Sheng'an." ”

"Flat, what did Zhou Aiqing find?"

"Yes, the emperor, yesterday the minister accepted the incident of a common man suing the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in Jingzhao Mansion."

"Oh?" Cheng Shengquan raised his eyebrows: "What are the people doing?" ”

Zhou Cheng said truthfully: "The people's daughter is gone, he said that it was the eldest prince Lu who robbed his daughter and took the person directly into the mansion of the Marquis of Xuanping." ”

"But yesterday Weichen took the token and searched the house, but he didn't find the people's daughter."

And then ...... Just this morning, twenty-five people suddenly knelt at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, all of whom accused Grand Master Lu of mutilating their children. ”

"According to them, the earliest was killed five years ago, and the most recent was last year, and the youngest of them was a boy, who was only 10 years old......

The more he listened, the darker Cheng Shengquan's face became, and finally the entire imperial study was filled with cold air: "You mean, in five years, Lu Churen killed twenty-five young boys and girls?" ”

Zhou Cheng's face remained unchanged: "It's not certain yet...... It's been so long, and even if there is evidence, it's almost destroyed. ”

"Poor! Strict inspection! Under the imperial land, he also dared to mutilate my people? Cheng Shengquan was furious: "I will let Jun Ze go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with you, and the two of you must find out this matter clearly." ”

Zhou Cheng said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

With the participation of Dali Siqing, even if he wants to lift the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the army may not dare to say anything.

……

Shen Guogong's Mansion

Shen Mingnan felt that Xianfu felt quite good at home, especially with Yan Yan by his side.

He would have been happier if he hadn't been around without these annoying people.

I saw Chi Wu, Ye Lanzhi, and He You, each of whom was carrying gifts in their hands to visit Zhao Huiwei, who was injured at home.

Chi Wu held Zhao Huiwei's hand tightly: "If only I hadn't hunted any rabbits that day, I would have been blamed for hurting you." ”

Zhao Huiwei patted her hand and said disapprovingly: "Okay, sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with you, it's that the enemy is hiding too deeply." ”

Chi Wu was very angry, she even hurt her beloved Ah Hui, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable.

She stood up suddenly: "You wait, I'll take revenge on you." ”

"I heard that more than 20 people went to complain about Lu Churen's bad behavior at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion today, and the emperor also ordered a strict investigation when he learned of this matter."

"It just so happens that Fu Junze was ordered to thoroughly investigate these murders, so I will go to him and urge him not to let Lu Churen go!"
