From eunuch to emperor

Xu Ming immediately sent someone to report the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Li Tianze, Wu Wenjing, Shen Tianhe and his gang arrived soon.

"General Dragon."

Li Tianze first came to see Long Chen.

"The female corpse is at the bottom of the lake. Go and see it. If you need my cooperation, just tell me."

Long Chen said it very simply.

Li Tianze immediately asked Shen Tianhe to go down and dig up the corpse.

Soon, 7 female corpses were dug out from the bottom of the pond.

The silt soaked the corpse, showing some signs of swelling and decay.

Shen Tianhe immediately arranged for the servants to transport the woman's body back to the Ministry of Punishment for autopsy.

"General Long, we still need to check the entire mansion to see if there are any other corpses."

Li Tianze said he was very sorry, it would definitely not be good for Long Chen, but there was nothing he could do, this was a routine.

"It's okay, you just follow the rules."

Long Chen asked the people from the Ministry of Punishment to let go of their hands and feet to investigate.

Shen Tianhe searched Longshuai's mansion back and forth with the police from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but found no new female corpse.

Hundreds of craftsmen and peasants who worked witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.

"No other corpses have been found for the time being. I will go back to the Ministry of Punishments first, and I will leave."

Li Tianze bid farewell to Long Chen, took people back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for autopsy, and took away several civilian husbands as witnesses.

Xiang Ning said in a low voice: "Master, now they gossip more."

Long Chen said lightly: "Let's go, go back!"

Long Chen rode back to the palace, Xu Ming and Wang Yao returned to the Ministry of Industry.

...

The news that Long Shuai's mansion dug out the female body spread like wildfire, and the capital quickly spread. Everyone said that Long Chen was behind the scenes.

The voices of dissatisfaction among the people are getting louder, and even officials from the DPRK and China have begun to curse.

...

Qiuxing Palace.

When Long Chen woke up in the morning, he heard barking dogs.

Pushing the door open, she saw Xiao'e holding a sheep bone in her hand, which made the little black dog salivate.

"My lord, Long Shuai's mansion has been set on fire."

Qingyue walked over quickly and said.

Long Chen frowned slightly, and said: "Normal, the woman's body was dug up yesterday, and now the people in the capital are scolding me."

Qingyue said dissatisfied: "These people are mentally ill, how could it be you."

They knew who Long Chen was, they were in the palace these days and had no time to commit crimes.

Long Chen said with a smile: "They were also bewitched and deceived by others, so there is no need to talk about them, as long as the fire is extinguished."

"Today's court meeting, it's time for me to change my clothes and go to court."

Back in the room, Xiang Ning got up from the bed, and helped Long Chen get the court clothes and put them on.

After the preparations were completed, Long Chen left the Qiuxing Palace, and Emperor Luoxi came over and asked, "I heard that someone burned your Long Shuai's mansion?"

Qingyue just told Di Luoxi, and she was very angry.

"It's okay. When the case comes to light, the truth will naturally come to light."

Long Chen smiled and pulled Di Luoxi to the Daming Palace.

Walking to the entrance of the main hall, I happened to meet Di Xingwan and Li Tianze walking in together.

"Second Sister, when will you solve the case? Now everyone is saying that Xiaolonglong has a problem!"

Di Luoxi hurried to catch up with God Xingwan, and said very dissatisfied.

Di Xingwan was having a headache because of this matter, and Di Luoxi's questioning made her very irritable.

"Fourth sister, this is a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Justice, don't hold your hands too long."

Di Luoxi was furious and furious: "What do you mean my hands are too long, you eunuch is useless, after searching for so long, there is no clue at all!"

Li Tianze was very embarrassed by the scolding, so he had to laugh apologetically.

Long Chen grabbed Emperor Luoxi and persuaded him: "Princess, don't say a few words, everything is governed by the court."

Di Xingwan snorted coldly, and led Li Tianze into the court hall.

The court ministers took their positions one after another, and everyone greeted Long Chen politely, but their expressions were a little weird.

The empress came out from the inner court and sat on the phoenix chair, her expression was not very good.

"Li Shangshu, how is the investigation of the flower-picking demon going?"

The empress was in charge of the case.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Tianze.

Li Tianze came out and bowed: "Return to the Holy Lord, yesterday... 7 more female corpses were found in Longshuai Mansion yesterday. After autopsy, they were also killed by the flower-picking demon."

The Empress already knew the news, and asked, "Does the murderer have any clues?"

Li Tianze faltered and replied, "This minister is still doing his best to search..."

The ministers of the DPRK and China talked a lot, and were very dissatisfied with Li Tianze's efficiency in handling the case.

"Master Li, how long has it been? Women are missing every day, but you haven't made any progress."

"If this continues, the capital will be in chaos."

"It's just a flower picker. There are so many people in your criminal department, but you don't have any clues."

Everyone scolded Li Tianze so much that he couldn't lift his head.

The empress also lost patience, and said: "The impact of this case is too bad, it must be closed quickly, I ordered Long Cheng'en to take over the punishment department, and let him thoroughly investigate this matter."

Li Tianze sighed slightly, and said: "This humble minister leads the decree."

Di Xingwan saw that the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice he had fought for was gone, and he felt very unwilling, so he stepped out and said, "Mother, this case is difficult to investigate, and besides, Long Chengen is now one of the suspects, how can he be held responsible?"

Some court ministers agreed, some shook their heads, there were too many rumors, and Long Chen's identity was really embarrassing.

Di Luoxi was not happy, and said: "Second sister, talk nonsense outside, no matter how you talk nonsense, how could Long Chengen be the murderer."

Di Xingwan argued: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is inappropriate for Long Chengen to investigate the case, and the common people will definitely discuss it."

The empress knew that Di Xingwan was throwing a temper tantrum, but she was right, it was really inappropriate for Long Chen to be in charge of this case.

"That's how it is. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will take over and the Ministry of Punishment will assist."

Compared to Li Tianze, Bai Anning is more mature and has handled many cases, so maybe he can find out some clues.

Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: "This humble minister leads the decree."

Li Tianze paid homage: "Thank you, Saint, for your kindness."

Li Tianze's Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was temporarily preserved.

"Anything else?"

The empress glanced at the ministers.

At this time, Dong Wen, the admonishing doctor, came out and said: "Qi Zuo Sheng, my minister impeached Li Tianze, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and beat the court minister."

The empress frowned slightly, and asked, "Beating the minister? Who?"

Advising doctor Dong Wenbai said: "The day before yesterday, Li Tianze beat Liu De in the Criminal Department, and he is still in prison."

The empress looked at Li Tianze and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Li Tianze hurriedly replied: "Then Liu De broke into the Ministry of Criminal Justice, slandered General Long as a flower-picking devil, and my minister punished them a little, telling them not to talk nonsense."

The empress said angrily: "Then you can't beat the minister! Let him go quickly! You don't need to be the minister of the Ministry of punishment for the time being, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be in charge of the case."

Li Tianze bowed: "My humble minister...thank you."

Di Xingwan was full of disappointment, but he couldn't say anything.

After the court was over, the ministers went home separately.

When we got outside, Li Tianze and Di Xingwan walked behind, Long Chen turned around and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your righteous words, which caused you to lose your position as Minister."

Li Tianze smiled bitterly: "It's just a matter of duty, why bother..."

Before he finished speaking, Di Xingwan dragged Li Tianze to Li Nangong.

Di Luoxi snorted coldly: "Tch, ignore them."

The two returned to the West Palace, Gong Zheng and Su Yourong were waiting anxiously at the door.

"Princess, my lord, something has happened!"

Di Luoxi frowned and asked, "What can happen to us here?"

The management of the West Palace is very strict. Could it be that there are also palace ladies missing?

Su Yourong's brows were burning with anxiety, and said, "The princess comes with me!"
