There are still three urgent documents in the hall that need to be dealt with. Liu Xu put down Mo Feng and began to do things.

Now that you have decided to be the envoy of this criminal department, you must be worthy of your own words.

At this point, he did not dare to slack off.

It wasn't until noon that Liu Xu finished handling the matter.

Before lunch, a holy decree came out of the palace, and the entire imperial city began to boil.

The decree was issued under heaven, and every official and every ministry was announced.

At this moment, Liu Xu also has one in his hand.

"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Ming said. The right minister and the left are virtuous, fornicating with the Turks, taking bribes and corruption. Assassinating the princess, harboring criminals, and deliberately plotting rebellion is an unpardonable crime. According to the law of Anguo, the nine clans should be killed and the world should be announced. I was heartbroken, but I remembered his old merits, assisted the emperor, and the two dynasties were prime ministers. Therefore, he pardoned the death of his eldest son and reduced him to the rank of commoner and sent him to the frontier, and pardoned the death of his eldest daughter and reduced him to slavery and served as an official prostitute. The remaining 235 people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are scheduled to be beheaded outside the noon gate at noon tomorrow to show the public!

After reading the notice, Liu Xu's heart trembled. Although I knew that this would be the result, I felt a little abrupt when I heard it now.

The great Prime Minister's Mansion, just like this, once copied and killed, the nine clans were killed, which is lamentable.

However, Liu Xu, the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't ask, but at least Zuo Qin could live.

This was a surprise to him.

But after thinking about it, it became clear that this act was obviously Emperor Ming's efforts to win people's hearts.

Because nine times out of ten, the conspiracy is false.

Hundreds of officials are not stupid, who can't see that this incident is deliberately framed?

But the governor and the left minister were too powerful, and the Ming emperor had to hide and avoid their edge.

However, in any case, as the king of a country, the heirs of his subordinates cannot be kept, so will it not chill the hearts of the loyalists?

Therefore, the death of the firstborn son and the eldest daughter is pardoned for the sake of the living.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu unconsciously became melancholy.

I can't say why, but I'm a little sad after all.

In fact, in the real sense, he hates Zuo Xian.

Before the disaster of the Three Palaces, he was only the first minister, but for the sake of power, he reversed black and white, and he would take revenge.

Part of the great enmity of the 192 people of the Mei clan is to be counted on his head.

So Liu Xu is sad, not because of him.

Speaking of Mo Feng, Liu Xu left the criminal mansion and was about to go out.

It's noon, and there are still some people in the bazaar, but it's no longer complicated.

Liu Xu took a step forward and walked on foot.

Looking at the houses where the people lived, looking at the streets where the people walked, and looking at the comfortable life of the people, Liu Xu suddenly felt that everything was still the work of people's hearts and fate.

Just like the Mei family in the past, or the Zuo family today.

I think I can change an era, but in fact, I can't change anything.

Even if the world is really in turmoil, even if the ten kings really rebel, even if the country really changes course, so what? After the war, the houses will still be rebuilt, the dilapidated streets will still be renovated, and the people will still be at peace after the change.

Everything is nothing more than the hearts of the people, everything is nothing more than ambitions, everything is nothing more than wanting to control the destiny of the peoples.

However, in fact, there are groups of wives and concubines of those who have won the country, but the blood of the descendants is like a river.

Brothers who fight together can't be brothers! Like-minded friends can't be friends! A woman who loves and loves her heart can't win people's hearts!

Just like Mei Fengyun and Yang Zhao back then.

Nowadays, Zuo Xianmanfu is all abandoned.

Liu Xu stood on the Huai'an Bridge, watching the spring water flowing, his eyes were plain.

The next day, at noon.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was full of 235 people, and they were beheaded for public display.

Liu Xu put down the copywriting in his hand and came over.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, an order was given, and the long knife sprayed wine. The first person to hit the ground was Zuo Xian.

He was famous for his wisdom in the Ming Dynasty, and he took the phase with his wisdom, and he was also ruined and discredited because of his wisdom, and he was beheaded by the whole family.

He was followed by his wife and concubines.

At that time, the human head was like a gourd, rolling and falling.

Blood spurted out from the severed head, and the entire noon gate beheading platform seemed to be drenched in blood, flowing a bright red color.

There was even more blood in the air, making people vomit when they smelled it. There were many onlookers, most of whom were ordinary people.

Many people who were weak and couldn't help but be curious began to vomit on the spot.

For a while, the scene was chaotic, and the howls and sorrows continued.

There were a lot of Praetorian Guards in this dispatch, and the situation was brought under control for a moment, and the beheadings continued.

A head falls, it is a life, and the scene is too bloody.

Plagiarism on this scale only happens once in decades.

From Mei's family, to Pang Long, and then to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no time that he was not framed.

Liu Xu's heart was a little chilled.

This imperial court, this world, began to shake in his heart.

He can't be as firm as before, you Li Min, you Sheji, and you the common people.

He read tens of thousands of books, and the man's heart that he realized changed for the first time.

Because his power is also lost.

What he can do best is to bless the people around him, Liu Xu thought.

After a moment, he departed, his gaze calm and without pity. He sympathizes with Zuo Qin, but he will not sympathize with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

After returning to the Criminal Department for lunch, Liu Xu began to work on copywriting.

Although Dongcheng is located at the foot of the imperial court, it is not peaceful.

Especially in recent days, there have been homicides.

Liu Xu decided that since he was the envoy of this subordinate order department, he would have a good time to rectify.

Even if it takes a lot of effort, it will not hesitate.

He entrusted the copywriting work to Mo Yu to deal with, and mentioned that Mo Feng took Ye Yu and three catchers, and a group of five people went to the place of death.

The person who reported the crime was an outsider.

A wealthy merchant in Kyoto, Lin Ye, the helmsman of the largest cloth company in the East City.

About half an hour later, Liu Xu and the others crossed the four main blocks and came to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Mansion is located in the most prosperous Shanghai Port Street in the East City, covering a huge area, and the two lions in front of the door are mighty.

Looking up, the high-walled courtyard, the red paint of the Zhu door, and the door is extremely high.

In front of the main entrance, there is a private courtyard guard, which is quite spiritual.

Liu Xu fell on his waist and made a jade plaque, and followed quickly with a knife behind him, and the guards naturally knew that it was someone from the government.

Stepping over the Aoki door, Liu Xu and the five people entered under the leadership of the hospital guards.

The forest mansion is vast, and it is prosperous, with rockery jade ponds, garden grass beds, and many of them. And the carving is very exquisite.

After a while, the lord of the mansion came to meet him.

Liu Xu's eyes were slightly startled, he thought that the person who came should be an old man, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was quite young, and he would definitely not be more than forty years old.

"In Xia Lin Ye, I saw Lord Situ. The man, dressed in a black robe and tall and broad, came in response to the call and made a salute.

At this moment, his face was a little excited, but he didn't expect Liu Xu to come in person.

"Excuse me!" Liu Xu waved his hand.

"Outside the forester, take us to the scene of the crime. Ye Yu said.

"Yes, Lady Mei, please come with me. Lin Ye clenched his fists.

All the way forward, Liu Xu did not ask, and only looked at random visits.

About a stick of incense time, pass the main hall, the more splendid garden, to the back house.

The back house is quiet, the flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is pleasant.

Along the cobblestone road, passing two pavilions, a woman's boudoir appears in view.

At this time, Liu Xu raised his head, looked around, and saw that there were no less than dozens of hospital guards.

Then he didn't hesitate, stepped into the boudoir, and Ye Yu followed.

At this time, Liu Xu turned around and said to the catcher: "The three of you are guarding outside the building." ”

"Yes!" the three of them clenched their fists.

Lin Ye walked in front, looking back at the moment, his eyes were a little grateful.

Liu Xu didn't speak, stepped lightly on the wooden ladder and went upstairs.

Crunch.

There was a knock on the boudoir door, and there was a loud noise, and the three entered.

The interior is very spacious, with tables, chairs, beaded curtains, and dressers, all of which are delicate.

And it's quite regular.

"Have you cleaned?" asked Liu Xu.

"I didn't clean it down. Lin Ye shook his head.

Hey?...

As soon as he said this, Liu Xu and Ye Yu were a little puzzled, because the room was too regular.

"I wonder where Miss Lin's body is? Liu Xu asked again.

"This..."Lin Ye's face was uncertain, and he was a little embarrassed.

Seeing the dozens of guards downstairs, Liu Xu had already guessed, but at this moment, seeing Lin Ye's embarrassed posture, he became more and more sure in his heart.

Ye Yu naturally saw through it at a glance, so he said calmly: "This murder case is not difficult to solve, but if the forester is not so swallowed and concealed, then our subordinate order division will also have no way." ”

"You just have to rest assured, at all times, the reputation of Miss Lin and the Lin Mansion must be in our consideration. Liu Xu said with a solemn face.

As soon as he said this, the black-robed man relented.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly moistened, and the strength that had been piled up in his heart for the past two days began to soften.

The death of his beloved daughter, unclothed, covered with sword wounds, and death in the boudoir, is a miracle for a father to be able to stand here and speak calmly at this moment.

You must know that the deceased is his most beloved young daughter, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable.

"Master Mei, please call the shots for Lin!" Lin Ye suddenly knelt on the ground.

Liu Xu bent his knees, helped the person up, and said: "I have already guessed about Miss Lin's matter, you just have to tell the truth, don't take care of anything else." ”

The man got up, his vicissitudes of life were a little cloudy, and his face was gloomy.

After a while, he spoke: "The little girl loves ancient books and knows etiquette very well, and rarely goes out of this back house. A few days ago, it was rumored that the lord came to this Dongcheng to be an official, and the little girl was instigated by the maid to see the dragon slaying boy, so she secretly went out of the house with the maid yesterday. I knew it at the time, but I didn't stop it. Until evening, when they turned around, they did not notice anything unusual. But who knows, when the maid opened the door this morning, she found that the little girl had died tragically in bed..."

Speaking of this, the man could no longer hold himself, and tears were rolling down.

Liu Xu also felt helpless, this incident was still caused by him, so he comforted: "I hope the foresters will mourn outside!"

Lin Ye waved his hand.

After a moment of relaxation, Ye Yufang asked, "I wonder if Miss Lin has been violated?"

With this sentence, Lin Ye's face became even more sour, and he only nodded.

Liu Xu stopped talking, took a step at this moment, and lifted the bead curtain. It can be seen that the boudoir bed is messy, and a large pool of blood stains is shocking.

Although the body is not in front of him, he can fully imagine the tragedy of the girl's death.

Liu Xu raised his head and looked around.

The loft is quite enclosed, with only one door and one window.

The door has a hidden bolt that cannot be easily opened, so there is only one possibility.

Yesterday night, the killer crossed the window.

However, Miss Lin is quite knowledgeable about etiquette and etiquette, and she rarely goes out of this backhouse, so it is obviously impossible to have hatred with people and lead the villains to kill.

So in an instant, Liu Xu thought of a lot, and at the same time had his own guess in his heart.

Therefore, he turned around and said to Ye Yu: "Let's go back." Let the arrester quickly ask the deacon to come over, investigate the copywriting on the spot, and file it early. As for the work, you don't have to come over. ”

Ye Yu clenched his fists.

"Outside the forester, please rest assured, Mei will definitely do her best to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so as to comfort Miss Lin's soul in the sky. ”

"Master Shemei. ”
