Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Tao Ran cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears. It took her a while to recover. She gave Ling Chuan a dark look and said, "Mr. Ling is really good at making women cry."

"Uh……"

Ling Chuan defended himself: "I was just telling a story, you are the one who is sentimental."

Tao Ran was embarrassed and annoyed: "You still say that."

"No, no." Ling Chuan quickly admitted defeat: "Then do you think the two stories I just told would be interesting if someone were to act them out?"

Tao Ran pondered for a while and nodded, saying, "These two stories are very exciting. Even if they are told in detail, they are fascinating. But when it comes to interpretation, Ran'er can't imagine what it will be like for the time being."

"Then you guys just give it a try." Ling Chuan said, "This shouldn't be more difficult than singing and dancing."

Tao Ran was a little confused. She didn't know whether it was difficult or not, but she quickly grasped the key point: "Then Master Ling must write these two stories completely."

"Ah?" Ling Chuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have dug a hole for himself, and quickly found an excuse to shirk: "I'm very busy. You see, I have to take care of Yunfuji and Liulitang, and now I'm in the Investigation Department. How can I have the time for this?"

"These two stories are so wonderful, and no one knows about them except Master Ling. I'll trouble Master Ling..." Tao Ran said as he stood up and came to Ling Chuan: "Ran'er also knows that Master Ling has worked hard, so why not let Ran'er comfort Master Ling..."

Ling Chuan jumped off the stool and said, "I'll write it. I can write it."

Tao Ran took a few steps towards Ling Chuan: "Mr. Ling is a very busy man, and Ran'er can't bear to let him work too hard..."

Ling Chuan was almost backing out of the pavilion at this moment: "It's not hard, not hard at all."

Seeing Ling Chuan had left the pavilion, Tao Ran sighed quietly and stepped back: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Ling."

Although Tao Ran had already left, Ling Chuan did not return to the pavilion. He just bowed and said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to visit you after I finish writing those two stories."

"Ran'er, please send the young master off..."

"No need, Miss Tao Ran, please stay."

Ling Chuan almost ran out of Lotus Garden, and when he saw Chu Yi waiting at the door, he patted his shoulder and said, "Go, go, go, go quickly."

Chu turned his head to the side and asked in confusion: "What happened? Is there an assassin?"

Ling Chuan had already walked several steps out: "There is no assassin, but it is more dangerous than an assassin."

Chuyi caught up with him: "What do you mean? Who is more dangerous than an assassin?"

Ling Chuan explained as he walked: “The assassin just wanted to kill me, but this man wanted to kill me.”

I was confused at first. What the hell is this talking about? They both threaten life. What's the difference?

……

The next day, Ling Chuan came to the Criminal Investigation Department and found that the rooms of several deputy supervisors were busy with people coming and going.

He then came to the signing room, which was the office of the operatives. Twelve operatives and more than a hundred operatives were resting here and handling some chores.

However, in this huge room, there were only two supervisors, Ling Chuan and Duan Xifeng, and their subordinates.

Because they had dinner together yesterday, the relationships had become more familiar, and when Ling Chuan arrived, everyone greeted him warmly.

Ling Chuan responded with a smile, then sat down next to Duan Xifeng: "What happened today? Why are those rooms so lively?"

Duan Xifeng curled his lips and said, "Some have caught the suspect, some have found clues, and they are all eager to make a contribution."

"Don't worry, we will be busy soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clerk sneaked in and placed a thick stack of files on the table: "These are the files that the two adults have carefully selected. Please do not leak the news."

Ling Chuan shook his sleeves and took the file into his arms. At the same time, he shook his hand and took out a piece of silver: "Let me thank the deputy supervisors."

The clerk took the silver and smiled: "Thank you, Lord Ling. My name is Xie. Please let me know if you have anything to say."

"Thank you for your help. Ling will take note of it."

The other party bowed and walked away quickly.

Ling Chuan looked around, then leaned down on the table with the file on his legs, and then kicked Duan Xifeng next to him: "Come and take a look, we still have to rely on you to investigate this case."

Then Duan Xifeng lay down next to Ling Chuan, took a file and read it carefully.

After a long time, they both stood up and stretched.

"Brother Duan, what do you think? Are these cases easy to investigate?"

Duan Xifeng frowned and said, "These are all old cases. Although there are some clues, it has been so long that it is hard to say whether it is easy to investigate."

He used his fingers to fiddle with the files: "Look, these files are all homicide cases. The most recent one was five years ago. How can we investigate such a case? There are also two robbery and murder cases. The most recent one was three years ago. On the way to Beijing, I encountered bandits. My money was robbed and several people were killed or injured. It was a chaotic time, so it is impossible to investigate this. There is also an adulterer..."

"Wait a minute." Ling Chuan raised his hand and said, "I suddenly thought of a question. We are the East Factory, we are in charge of intelligence, why do we have to investigate these old cases?"

Duan Xifeng was stunned for a moment: "You don't even know this? The Judicial Department is a newly established government office, so naturally it must make some achievements before it can report to the emperor and obtain greater authority."

Ling Chuan dusted off the files in his hand and said, "Achieve merit? Just rely on this? If these cases were easy to solve, they would have been solved long ago. Why do we have to wait until now?"

Duan Xifeng spread his hands and said, "What can we do? We have to proceed step by step."

"Well, pick a simpler case. We need to gain a foothold first, or else Wu will find fault with us and fire us."

Duan Xifeng nodded: "Then I'll take a closer look."

Ling Chuan nodded: "Then you take your time to look at it, I will go and talk to a few deputy supervisors."

Duan Xifeng asked, "This is not good. You should not make things difficult for the deputy supervisors."

Ling Chuan curled his lips in disdain: "Difficult? If it's difficult, then they shouldn't do it. I spent so much money and effort yesterday, and they won't even give me this little bit of face?"

"..."

Duan Xifeng was speechless. Ling Chuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The four deputy supervisors were divided into four departments, each of which had its own responsibilities, such as supervising the illegal behavior of officials, monitoring conspiracies or rebellions that might endanger the court, and investigating major cases.

But all we can do now is to investigate major cases, especially these old cases that have been pending for who knows how many years.

Ling Chuan entered the room where several deputy supervisors were holding court and bowed to them: "My lords, I have a case to report."

The four of them sat on each side, facing each other at four tables. When they saw Ling Chuan come in, they stopped what they were doing and exchanged glances.

"please say."

Ling Chuan said, "Some time ago, I was attacked by gangsters near Jilong Mountain. My followers risked their lives to save me and I was able to escape. Can our Criminal Investigation Department investigate this case?"
