The matter of the little prince of Lufu being seduced by the vampire cat demon has not subsided, and another big incident has happened!

Zhou Dunyi, who is known as "Mr. Lianxi" by the world, suddenly disappeared in the capital with his young son. The children of the world's famous people can be kidnapped on the street in the capital, and even the emperor can't sit still, so he even issued two holy decrees, urging Kaifeng Mansion to make every effort to investigate, and transfer the two gods to arrest and handle the case together.

Shen Yu had no choice but to let Jian Shi put down the matter of the fierce fire oil first, and made every effort to track down the disappearance of Lord Zhou's young son. In fact, Jian Xian originally felt that the disappearance of the child was not unrelated to the matter of the fierce fire oil, and it was possible to investigate it at this time. Therefore, not only did he not complain, but immediately started to investigate the case, which made Shen Yu a little surprised.

Bai Tang and Jian Yan bumped their heads, sorted out the clues at hand, divided their work, and went to investigate the case separately.

☆☆☆

"Lord Qiyu, all the files of the missing children in the capital have been moved here. ”

"These files add up to more than a hundred children, and if you say no, they will be gone?!" Shen Yu slapped his palm on the table in the council hall, and with a bang, the file on the table jumped, and he asked, "You told me that so many officials were dispatched, why are there no clues at all?"

"The subordinates are not doing their jobs well, and I ask the adults to punish them. The two young Yin were disgraced and replied tremblingly.

Shen Yu had a sad face, he looked around at the group of people standing with their heads bowed in the council hall, and sighed. In fact, Kaifeng Mansion has been trying its best to investigate, and the officials in the mansion are also turning wheels, and they dare not be negligent for a moment. But because of the blood-sucking monster, the capital has long been in chaos, and even the prince and the uncle of Xiaoguo have personally come forward to inquire about the matter, and they want Kaifeng Mansion to spare no effort to investigate the case.

Shen Yu has ordered a night curfew in Kaifeng City, and the whole city is on alert. Increase the number of night patrols, and after dark, idle people are not allowed to move around at will.

"Bai Tang, can you track down the woman who broke into the Lu Mansion and committed murder?"

"My lord, I have found no trace of that woman. The gates were guarded everywhere, and the people who left the city were checked, and the portrait of the female thief was also posted all over the city, but ......," Bai Tang told the prefect, "but no people came to report it, not even a little news." ”

"It's stubborn. ”

"The people are convinced of the blood-sucking theory of the banshee incarnated by the cat ghost. The thing of sucking human blood is indeed appalling, although the subordinates said that they had fought with the woman, but whether it was the blood sucked by the woman, I am afraid that I dare not confirm it. Bai Tang glanced at Shen Yu, and then said, "According to the investigation of his subordinates, whether it is a cat ghost or a vampire banshee, most of the rumors outside are rumors, and there is no truth. ”

A young Yin stepped forward and said, "This matter is indeed as God said. At present, only Lu Gongzi's case has been confirmed, and the others are basically groundless. Many people are afraid to report the crime, or say that their family members are missing, or that their family members have died mysteriously, but after verification by their subordinates, none of them are related to the cat demon!"

Bai Tang thought for a moment and interjected, "There is one case that is worth investigating again!"

After speaking, he made a look, and a catcher behind him stepped forward to report: "It's the case of Li Xiucai's disappearance." The woman, Li, had previously reported to the official that the whereabouts of her father-in-law were unknown. It has been more than a month since the case was reported, and at that time Li said that Li Xiucai left home overnight and never returned, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. Who knew that a few days ago, the Li family came to change the case......"

Shen Yu asked, "What did she say?"

She said......" Na Zhu quickly hesitated, and said, "Her father-in-law used to be good with that Pei Yuniang, and that Pei Yuniang was a cat ghost, and she killed her father-in-law." ”

Before the words fell, someone suddenly said in a deep voice: "This is simply nonsense! Pei Yuniang is an embroidered building flower oran, how can she be a cat ghost? Moreover, someone testified that Pei Yuniang never left the embroidery building at all in the days when Xiucai disappeared!"

Bai Tang squinted at it, and it was the Lord of the Left Army Patrol who came out to speak. Bai Tang knew that he was at odds with Jian Yan, and heard that a while ago, the two had a dispute over the case of a missing child, and they almost started to fight.

Shen Yu sneered and said, "A group of Diao people! Do they think that if they push things on the matter of cat ghosts, they will be able to urge them to handle their old cases? It seems that they have forgotten the prestige of their own officials!

"Your Excellency ......" Judge Sun Tan stood up and reminded, "There are too many cases of false reporting, and it is unwarranted and labor-intensive, which really affects the investigation of cases and the efficiency of Kaifeng Prefecture's handling of cases; but at present, the people are panicked and impetuous, and it seems that they should be appeased! It is better to change the period of hard labor from one year to one quarter, so as to play a powerful role, and prevent the people from indiscriminately reporting false cases." How can you see it?"

Shen Yu was also angry just now, thinking that Sun Tan's words were reasonable, so he agreed to be punished with one season of hard labor.

Bai Tang cleared his throat and said, "My subordinates have sent someone to check, then Li Xiucai is indeed good friends with Pei Yuniang, and he spent a lot of money in the embroidery building, and almost lost his family's belongings!"

Pei Yuniang is the Oiran of the embroidery building, and many princes and nobles and rich sons have to line up to see her. Often, if you have money, you may not be able to see her. Who is this Li Xiucai? Why did he get into Pei Yuniang's eyes with a cloth dress? Bai Tang also had these questions in his heart.

"At the beginning, the Li family didn't report the matter of Li Xiucai and Pei Yuniang because of the loss of face. Bai Tang said, "Now, the cases of Lu Gongzi and Li Xiucai are involved in Pei Yuniang, although there are many people who can prove that Pei Yuniang has been in the embroidery building at the time of the crime, but so many people are involved in her, and her subordinates feel that they should be further investigated!"

Shen Yu nodded and said, "If it's time to check, go and check." ”

The Lord of the Left Army Patrol opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak, and silently retreated to the side.

The meeting hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the face of Master Yin with a bad face, and they were all silent.

Suddenly, Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "Now there are rumors in the capital, and there is a panic. Why does this official think that someone is deliberately spreading these rumors?!"

Several young Yin, judges, and magistrates looked at each other, wondering in their hearts who was spreading rumors?

Bai Tang nodded thoughtfully and said, "My subordinates feel the same way. When I fought the woman in black, I had a feeling that her martial arts were by no means the martial arts of the Central Plains! Moreover, the legend of this cat ghost has always been popular in the Hehuang region, why is it suddenly spreading in the capital now?"

Bai Tang raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates boldly speculate that this woman is very likely to be a secret agent of Western Xia!"

"Xixia secret agent?" Shen Yu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately frowned, "You mean the ghosts made by the Xixia people?"

Just as Shen Yu was groaning, a magistrate beside him suddenly said: "Lord Shenzhu can also afford the Tangut people! This is the capital, an extraordinary place, how can they have the ability to come all the way to make trouble? Don't say that the capital, I'm afraid it's in the border town, and the Tangut people can't get the slightest bargain if they want to do things, right?"

Bai Tang listened to him lightly, but he didn't pay attention to it. How could these magistrates know the situation of the Xixia people all day long? With a snort in his heart, he turned to Shen Yu and said, "My lord, do you think that the sudden disappearance of more than 100 children is a bit familiar?"

"Ah......" The pusher who spoke just now suddenly shouted, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to look at him, the pusher knew that he was speechless, and his face was suddenly red and white for a while, and his mouth was sobbing for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

"What are you doing?" Seeing his appearance, Shen Yu said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

The pusher glanced at Bai Tang and said timidly: "Xiaguan...... I'm afraid that the lower official is the same as Lord Shenzhu thinks......"

Shen Yu's face sank, and he shouted, "Speak quickly!"

The magistrate's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Do you remember that during the Renzong Dynasty, more than a hundred palace maids suddenly disappeared overnight? Later, it was found that they were all spies sent by Li Yuanhao of Western Xia!"

His words alerted everyone, and immediately led to a whisper.

Bai Tang nodded, turned his head to Shen Yu and said, "Actually, in addition to the disappearance of these children, the subordinates also found that there were also people in the rivers and lakes who suddenly disappeared! ”

"Children, people in the rivers and lakes, and secret agents of Western Xia......" Shen Yu's expression was solemn, and he thought for a while and said: "It seems that this matter is very important, I must report it to the Privy Council and Lord Han Qi!"

"My subordinates have already passed the anger with Lord Lan of the Imperial City Division and Lord Shi of the 'Pigeon Alliance' of the Jiyi Division, so please pay attention to this matter as well. In fact, Bai Tang also passed the news to his sister who was running an errand on the border of Western Xia. She's a secret agent, so she might find out.

Shen Yu nodded slightly, his brows furrowed, as if he was very satisfied with Bai Tang's swift action.

At this time, a servant ran up to the hall and whispered in Shen Yu's ear: "My lord, King Chang Chitose is waiting for you in the Plum Blossom Hall, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”

Shen Yu raised his head and glanced at the plaque on his head, on which there were four golden characters "Mirror hanging". Since he took office, Kaifeng Mansion has become very aggressive, and he has made many enemies for it. Recently, because of the cat ghost incident, the capital has been in an uproar, and many political enemies have impeached him, saying that he is not good for "governing the Beijing Division" and cannot maintain the law and order of the Beijing Division. If it weren't for King Chang's intercession for him, I'm afraid he would have been demoted and dismissed. Fortunately, Bai Tang found out some clues, and now he has an explanation.

"Go down, all of you. Shen Yu beckoned, "Baitang, you come with me." ”

Shen Yu and Bai Tang walked through the outer courtyard and walked towards the Plum Blossom Hall, which was close to the back door of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Hao, the king of Chang, sat in the hall at this time, he wore a golden silk phoenix wing bundle on his head, wearing a collared gold scattered flower silk silk gown, a gold belt buckle inlaid with precious stones around his waist, the left hung Hetian blue and white jade dragon pattern waist hanging, the right hanging pine crane bat three inlaid Dushan jade Ruyi waist hanging, dark cloud pattern brown makeup Luo pants, and the foot wore a snake shoe. I saw that he had dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, handsome appearance, chic demeanor, and the domineering spirit of the king of the dragon and the world was revealed between his eyebrows.

There was also a person standing next to the prince, dressed as a person from the rivers and lakes. Shen Yu walked a few steps, stepped forward and bowed and said, "The ministers know Kaifeng Mansion, and the Longtu Pavilion is a straight bachelor......"

"Wentong (Shen Yuzi), when did you become so verbose? Reporting so many official positions, is it implying that King Gu is going to promote you?" Although Zhao Hao had a smile on his face, the phoenix eyes and starry eyes swept lightly on Shen Yu's face, and Shen Yu only felt a tremble in his heart. The prince's deep eyes were like a bottomless abyss, giving people an invisible pressure.

"Recently, the disappearance of children in the capital has been lost," Shen Yu hurriedly said, "After the investigation by the Divine Arrest Division, there may be a conspiracy in it." The night before, Bai Tang fought the legendary cat ghost in Lu Mansion!"

"Oh?" Zhao Hao remained silent, but his gaze crossed Shen Yu and stared at Bai Tang behind him.

Bai Tang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Lord Qiqi, the villain disguised himself as Lu Gongzi in the Lu Mansion for three days, and finally waited for the 'cat ghost' to appear last night. It's just that it's not a ghost at all, it's a woman!" Speaking of this, Bai Tang noticed that the big man standing behind Zhao Hao suddenly raised his eyebrows. He continued, "It's a pity that despite my manpower, the woman was so fierce that I hurt her shoulder, but she still escaped. When I fought that woman, her martial arts were very strange, because I was born in the northwest, and I felt that her moves were very similar to the martial arts of Western Xia. The villain's poor arrangement caused the prisoner to escape, which is really embarrassing. ”

Shen Yu said: "The minister has just discussed with Bai Tang, and I think it is likely that the Western Xia spies are making trouble in Beijing. Since this matter involves an enemy country, the minister is ready to report it to the Privy Council and Lord Han Qi. Bai Tang had already informed Lord Lan Yuanzhen of the Imperial City Division and Lord Shi Zong of the Pigeon League of the Imperial City Division of the matter. When he mentioned the names of Lord Lan and Lord Shi, Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly regained his composure, and Shen Yu thought that he was dazzled.

"Lord Wang, there have been frequent strange things in the capital recently, and the ministers have failed to crack them in time, which has caused rumors to spread, and the people are panicked, which has alarmed the saints. Weichen is not doing things well, and he really has the trust of the prince!"

Zhao Hao leaned lightly on the back of the chair and said in a calm tone: "You are a person who does practical things, just do what you have to do." As for those discrediting words, you don't have to take them to heart, just do your errands wholeheartedly. ”

"Yes...... Weichen just felt that he couldn't do things well, and he had to defend the prince in the court, and he was very ashamed......"

"Okay," Zhao Hao waved his hand and said with a smile, "You just don't have your uncle Shen Kuo to please, and you're too restrained." But the king is very pleased that you have done all your best to care for the people's suffering. ”

"This king is here today to introduce you to someone!" After speaking, Zhao Hao turned around and pointed to the big man beside him, and said, "Baitang, you should be no stranger, right?"

The big man behind him stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "In Xia Hong Qili, I have seen Lord Shen and Lord Shenzhu. ”

He had been behind Zhao Hao just now, Shen Yu didn't look carefully, but now when he looked closer, he saw that he was burly and dignified. He is not very old, he is neither arrogant nor humble, and he is magnificent. Although it was a cloth cloth, because he came with the prince, Shen Yu also returned the half-salute.
