"They're either dead or they're all locked up in secrecy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Either way, the original intention of the perpetrators was not to use these women to blackmail their families, but these women were the targets of the perpetrators. ”

"Why?"

"This kind of mass disappearance case without obvious purpose actually clearly shows that the target of the perpetrators is only these unmarried girls who are famous and noble. ”

"How so?"

"Because if the perpetrator wants to kidnap family members to blackmail these powerful families and achieve certain goals, then his target cannot be just these women who stay at home all day and stay at home, but should be those famous sons who move around, because it is easier to achieve the purpose of blackmail. ”

Zhou Dunyu said: "It makes sense. As far as I know, most of these missing women rarely go out, and even when they do, they are heavily guarded, which is relatively more difficult to target. ”

"Then will they still be alive?" At this time, Empress Dowager Huayi suddenly asked in a trembling voice.

Duan Qianqiu was silent.

Yang Heng coughed and said to Duan Qianqiu: "Qianqiu, what did the Queen Mother ask you?"

Duan Qianqiu cried out in his heart: "How do I know!" But the emperor obviously wanted him to prevaricate the old man, so Duan Qianqiu carefully thought about the wording of the response, and said: "Before the body is found, they should all be safe and sound." If the perpetrators simply wanted their lives, it is estimated that they would have done it on the spot, and it would not have taken so many troubles. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, and she was a little more energetic, she leaned forward and said to Duan Qianqiu: "Since you are not dead, then you can help the mourning family find Xiaoyi and Xia He back, but okay? The mourning family's body is getting worse and worse, and it is easy to make mistakes. can make the mourning family sleep, the mourning family can't see her for so many days, miss her......"

The current queen mother is more like a verbose old man than a woman in the world. Even the words that are said are only some daily chatter.

However, Duan Qianqiu has a respect for the Queen Mother in his heart, Xia He is just a little palace maid who has not been in the palace for a long time, and the Queen Mother still has such affection for her, which shows that the deceit in the court for so many years has not wiped out the warm side of her human nature.

Duan Qianqiu bowed to the old man and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen should do his best." Retrieve both of them. ”

A smile appeared in Yang Heng's eyes, and he said, "Duan Qingjia, in this way, you are still sure that you can solve this case, right?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is not a person who likes to talk falsely, after Rong Chen studies the case, he will answer the emperor's question, okay?" Duan Qianqiu said.

"Good. Yang Heng said: "Come to someone and spread my will." With the immediate draft of the Zhongshu Province, Duan Qianqiu entered the Dali Temple on the same day, served as the secretary of the Dali Temple, led the three law divisions, the Southern Guards, the capital criminal arrest department, and the Qin Chajie scepter, and the general leader detected the case of the disappearance of the noble girl in Yehuang City. ”

Duan Qianqiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister of Dali Temple is in prison, and he needs to be familiar with the laws and punishments. How can you get the post of Dali Temple?"

Yang Heng said with a smile: "The chief officials of the Three Law Divisions have been in their positions for a long time, they don't want to make progress, and they are as lazy as goldfish in a tank, if they don't move their positions." How can they know to be vigilant. Duan Aiqing don't worry, there is a group of people who are familiar with the criminal law under you, Dali Siqing, to help you take care of it, I give you this power, but it is only conducive to you to investigate the case, and once the case is solved, you will be promoted to another place. It's not too late. ”

Duan Qianqiu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Yang Heng's words, and thought in his heart: "The Emperor of Dare to Love treats me as a shark to remind so many 'goldfish'!"

Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are collectively known as the "Three Law Divisions", which is the highest trial and sentencing organ in the world, and its highest official, Dali Temple, is the same as the six Shangshu, and the official residence is three products, and it is already a person with great power in the DPRK. Now that Duan Qianqiu is an outsider with no experience in criminal codes, he is in charge of this largest legal institution in the imperial court, which is indeed a little difficult to convince the public.

However, as soon as Yang Heng opened his golden mouth, any other reasons and obstacles were not important, and Duan Qianqiu was promoted to Dali Siqing that night. On the second day, Zhongshu Province issued an edict, the Ministry of Officials announced the promotion documents, and handled the handover procedures, Duan Qianqiu officially jumped from a general of the Yulin Army of the fourth rank to a senior official of the criminal code of the third grade.

This change was unexpected by most people, so within two days, Yang Heng's desk was full of admonitions, accusing the imperial court of this personnel appointment and dismissal, reckless child's play, regardless of the severity, and implored that the former Dali Temple official be reinstated.

Yang Heng ignored the performance of these officials, and did not send any of them, only issued a strict decree in the Zhongshu Province, and severely reprimanded the former Dali Temple Qing corpse vegetarian meal, conservative, and unenterprising bureaucratic habits, and scolded the two departments of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the legal and political yamen in Yehuang City in the will, and issued a strict order: If anyone dares to discuss the appointment and dismissal of the emperor's order, they will all be imprisoned.

Therefore, the opposition on the surface of the DPRK and China has subsided for a while, but the undercurrent below is still surging.

In the next few days, Duan Qianqiu called up the file of the disappearance case in the Dali Temple Office, and carefully checked it, hoping to see some clues in the existing information.

Unconsciously, this is another night of watching, when the light shines in through the window paper, it is already sunrise in the east, the sky is bright, Dali Temple duty staff to the new boss to prepare hot water and breakfast.

Duan Qianqiu washed his face indiscriminately, ate something, and with some questions after reading the file, he was ready to go to Ronghe Palace to ask the people around the Queen Mother to understand some of the situation of Xia He and Tang Xiaoyi.

He is now authorized by Yang Heng to enter and leave the palace freely.

After entering the palace, he walked on the palace road paved with white marble slabs and walked towards the Empress Dowager Ronghe Palace.

Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded in the distance behind me: "Lord Duan, please stay." ”

Duan Qianqiu turned his head when he heard the sound, but saw a group of palace ladies and eunuchs leading the way, and Zheng Bingrong walked towards him in the distance with a smile.

"Master Duan, where are you going?" Zheng Bingrong said with a smile on his face.

"I am going to the Queen Mother's bedroom to inquire about some things about the case. ”

Zheng Bingrong listened to it and said with a smile: "Alas, Lord Duan, sometimes I don't know whether to say that you are stupid or that you are stupid? Haha." At the end of her speech, she burst out laughing.

Duan Qianqiu smiled bitterly: "Is there a difference between the two things you said?" (To be continued.) )
