At the instigation of Chang Li and Tao Ziyun, the next day, Lord Cang asked the emperor to let the magistrate where the palace maids who died unjustly lead the officers and soldiers to search for the relatives and friends of those palace maids. In the part of the relatives and friends of the palace maid who died unjustly in the capital, Lord Cang personally led the troops to search.

Lord Cang also proposed to the emperor to temporarily seconded Chang Liao and Tao Ziyun to his command, so that he could do his best to find out the murderer of Fei Xiaowolf.

Lord Cang is so active in handling the case, and the emperor is very happy, and he is not overly demanding of Lord Cang, and he is kind to them one by one.

When Lord Cang set out to search, he took Tao Ziyun and Chang Li's two enthusiastic people with him.

Lord Cang sat in the official sedan chair, Tao Ziyun and Chang Lili rode a horse to follow the sedan chair, and a large number of officers and soldiers followed before and after the official sedan chair.

The officers and soldiers held the file with the home address of the unjustly killed palace maids, and according to the map, they brought out the relatives and friends of the palace maids who lived in the capital, and prepared to take them to the lobby of the criminal department for interrogation.

In this way, they brought out five or six relatives and friends of the palace maids, but there was no Yuan Luoying's father and mother among them. Tao Ziyun and Chang have known for a long time that Yuan Luoying's mother looks exactly the same as Yuan Luoying, and this situation is self-evident.

"Bring them all back to the Criminal Department!" Lord Cang gave an order, and the officers and soldiers took those who had been searched and returned to the Criminal Department.

"Lord Cang, is the search over?" asked Lord Cang unwillingly.

Cang Shangshu of the Criminal Department also felt helpless: "According to the report of the generals under my command, what can be found has been found." There is also a family member of a palace maid named Yuan Luoying, who originally moved to the capital to live, but we also searched it just now, and the building was empty, and we didn't find Yuan Luoying's father. We have done our best, first bring the relatives of these six palace maids to the criminal department, and then make other plans after the court!"

Chang Liao asked Tao Ziyun in disappointment: "Master Tao." What to do?"

Tao Ziyun said softly to Chang Li: "This is really troublesome, the person we want to find is still not found, but the relatives and friends of the palace maids are frightened, let's not panic first, follow them to the Criminal Department and then find a way." ”

Cang Shangshu has already urged the people to return to the Criminal Department.

Chang Li said to Tao Ziyun helplessly: "That's the only way, follow them to the Criminal Department to see the situation, and then discuss further actions with Lord Cang." ”

Tao Ziyun rode on the horse with Chang Li, and silently followed Lord Cang's team to the lobby of the Criminal Department.

The relatives and friends of those palace maids were all asked by the officials to kneel in the hall of the criminal department. Cang Shangshu sat in front of the public case and personally interrogated those people.

Originally. Folk girls are recruited into the palace, and if they get the title of the emperor and become the emperor's valued person, they will have the opportunity to return to their hometowns and relatives. Otherwise, if you just become an ordinary palace maid and have no chance to leave the palace, it will be life and death.

The relatives and friends of those palace maids, under the interrogation of Cang Shangshu, only learned that they entered the palace to be the relatives of the palace maids. They have left them, they are sad from their hearts, and there is a cry in the lobby!

Cang Shangshu slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "This official will ask you again." Who killed Lord Fei because your relatives who were palace maids died at the hands of Lord Fei Xiaowolf!"

"We just found out that our relatives who were palace maids died, where did we think of killing Lord Fei!"

"I just want to enter the palace, but I don't have that chance! How can I enter the palace to kill someone!?"

"It's your lord, you let me enter the palace to kill people. I don't have the ability to kill people!"

......

There was a shout of grievances in the hall, which made Cang Shangshu angry and annoyed, and slapped the shocked wood: "You don't pretend! If you didn't go in and kill, who else would have this reason to kill!"

The voices of the hall shouting injustice did not stop. Some people screamed and grabbed the ground, their heads hit the ground, and their foreheads were bleeding.

Seeing that Cang Shangshu was about to be even more furious, Tao Ziyun hurriedly dissuaded him and said, "Lord Cang, depending on the situation, these people didn't do it. After all, there are other relatives and friends of the palace maid who still have this kind of motive for killing. ”

"Lord Cang, it's our fault, we proposed to search for the relatives and friends of these palace maids, after your interrogation, it doesn't look like they did it at all!"

Lord Cang replied sternly: "If they didn't do it, they will be locked up in a prison, and when the real murderers are caught, they will be released, because at that time, the real murderers will prove that these people are really innocent." ”

The voices in the hall shouted louder and more miserable, saying that they still had various affairs at home, and that they could not live without them at home, and demanded that they be let go back.

Tao Ziyun said to Lord Cang seriously: "It stands to reason that the palace maids are also royal people, and they died in the palace, so they should take care of their relatives." If the relatives of those palace maids were locked up, not only did they not get the bereavement they deserved, but also delayed their own affairs, and even more wasted the resources of the criminal department, and the management of the prison cells and the provision of prison meals were also costly. ”

"It is not the official's business to compensate them, the official can ask the emperor to let the Ministry of Rites handle it. In order not to waste the resources of the Criminal Department, the official did not bother to lock them up. Lord Cang listened to Tao Ziyun's reasoning, considered the stakes, and reluctantly announced to the people under the Dao Hall: "You people, go back and pay attention to the list text, if there is any news of your sympathy, you come again!"

The relatives and friends of those palace maids were relieved and dispersed one after another.

Tao Ziyun said to Lord Cang: "We must strive for the benefits of the relatives of those palace maids, so that those people have a certain comfort in their hearts, and make them feel that the emperor's grace is vast." ”

Lord Cang said in frustration: "Okay, this search, the benefits have not been obtained, and the emperor has to be relieved of them, it is best to let them get the silver, so that they can be grateful to the official." ”

"That's natural, when the time comes, release the list and let all the relatives of the palace maids enter the palace to receive the pension silver, in that case, Yuan Luoying's father and mother may appear!" Tao Ziyun said to Lord Cang seriously.

Lord Cang's eyes lit up: "So, Lord Tao is suspicious of Yuan Luoying's father?"

Tao Ziyun reminded easily: "I don't say that, just ask them when the time comes, and you can find out the clues, whether they did it or not, you will know!"

"Okay, the palace will enter the palace immediately and report to the emperor!" said Lord Cang, and was about to enter the palace.

Tao Ziyun praised Lord Cang and said, "Haha, Lord Cang is still very careful about this matter!"

Lord Cang smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Tao is laughing, this official has no good impression of Lord Fei Xiaowolf, but the duty of this official is to do it as a last resort, and if you do it well, it is also a credit!"

Tao Ziyun sincerely admired and said: "Okay, Master Cang said it well, you don't have any emotional color for the subject, whether you like it or not, you will work hard to do what is within your duties......!
