The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for approving various laws and reviewing the criminal cases sent to the Ministry from various places. Unless it is a huge case or it is handled by order, it rarely intervenes in local cases.
Otherwise, since Jingguo is so big, they can be exhausted by only talking about the cases near the capital.
The death of the son of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is of course considered a major case, but it is only a major case, with limited influence, and it is not up to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to intervene.
What's more, his capital order hasn't arrived yet, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has already arrived—Magistrate Liu's eyes flickered, there must be some ulterior transaction involved.
However, if the Ministry of Punishment likes to intervene, just intervene. It just so happens that I can get out and avoid this trouble, which is considered a good thing.
"Have you asked me, how did Mr. Chen die?" No matter how he looked at the abnormal behavior of the Ministry of Justice, he didn't want to be contaminated. He didn't even plan to enter the door of the Chen family. When I was in the county government, I asked by the way.
The catcher immediately replied: "I have already checked the work. I died of poisoning. There was a spot on the corpse's arm that was blue and there was a small needle hole. I took out a very thin silver needle from it. What kind of poison is it?" I didn't remember, according to the author, that kind of poison is extremely rare, and a small amount can be fatal, but it will not die immediately. It takes four to five hours for the poison to develop, and the poison spreads throughout the body. The poisoned person will often feel sleepy and silent. dying in sleep."
"Isn't that easy?" County magistrate Liu shook his head and said, "Just push back the time of his death by four or five hours to see what he was doing at that time and who was around him. Is it easy to catch the murderer?"
He felt a little regretful at the moment, he should have acted faster just now, and if he had solved the case earlier, he would not have been preempted by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Catcher Zhao looked at County Magistrate Liu, scratched his head and said, "Master Liu, this case doesn't seem to be that simple. The servants of the Chen family only found out that Mr. Chen was dead in the morning, so he just fell asleep last night. He died at the next moment, or at dawn, who knows?"
County magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "The case I handle is more salty than you, so I don't have this point in my heart. Can you remind me? Just arrest everyone he had contact with yesterday? "
Zhao Butou cursed in his heart why eating so much salt didn't kill you, but an embarrassing smile appeared on his face, and he said, "My lord is wise!"
"Who did he contact all day yesterday?" Master Liu snorted coldly and asked.
The catcher said: "My lord, Mr. Chen didn't do anything yesterday. He went to the brothel early in the morning, and then met two friends, and then went to the brothel, and then..., it seems that he got a little bit drunk and molested with people. The conflict seems to have suffered a little, and then went to the brothel... "
"Molested a common girl and got into a conflict with someone?" County Magistrate Liu quickly grasped the point and asked, "Who is he molesting and where?"
"It's Yangliu Lane over there. That woman seems to be quite famous. What kind of 'Luoshui Goddess' is very famous in Beijing."
County magistrate Liu shook his head. From this point of view, this case is not too difficult. It is very likely that it is...
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly froze, he raised his head abruptly, looked at the arrester seriously and asked, "Who did you just talk about?"
"Luo, Goddess of Luoshui..., just now, when we came out just now, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already gone to arrest someone." Seeing that Master Liu's face was a bit wrong, the arrester stammered.
County Magistrate Liu's expression changed, and he immediately ordered: "Get your horse ready!"

Ruyi and Ruyi were not at home, Li Yi and Xiaohuan were too lazy to cook, so they moved the grill out, there was no sun today, the yard was cool, and they didn't ask others to help, just the master and servant, busy back and forth After half an hour, the meat and vegetables are skewered.
Then the little maid moved a small stool and sat next to him with her chin resting on her back, watching him barbecue.
Li Yi concentrated on flipping. After a while, Xiaohuan tugged at his arm and pointed in the direction of the door.
Li Yi looked up, and then sighed.
There are only two people in the entire capital who dare to do such a thing when a bad guest comes to the door without a gift.
"It's already October, and your Kunlun purple melon is so fresh?" Li Xuan asked with a surprised expression while eating grilled eggplant.
What is October, the eggplants in my house are so fresh all year round... what two people can eat is not enough for four people, so Li Yi asked Xiaohuan to get some more.
Li Xuan and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess came to talk about the business that the three companies are about to cooperate with. In fact, there is nothing to talk about. They just pay the money and wait for the dividends.
In terms of funds, Li Yi is actually not that short of money, but the three masters in Kyoto advance and retreat together, and earn money together. When he got into trouble, the three of them carried it together. As friends, I feel really sorry not to bring them in this kind of money-making matter.
The two of them really didn't understand things like doing business, and it didn't take long for them to get off topic.
As the future deans of the Academy of Sciences and the Women's Academy, until now, they have not had any ideas in their minds. How the academy should operate, what to learn and what to teach are all problems.
The last time I had a brief talk with Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you want to talk about these things in detail, you can’t explain them clearly in a while. This time, you just talked about them in more detail. No matter how specific things are, you need to go to them yourself Groping, decided.
"Master Li, it's not good!"
A slightly hasty voice suddenly sounded from the door. Li Yi glanced back and saw County Magistrate Liu striding in, and Lao Fang followed behind with a puzzled expression.
"Master Liu, what's the matter, talk slowly." Li Yi walked over to look at him and said without knowing what happened to make him so flustered as a capital commander.
County Magistrate Liu calmed down a little, and immediately said, "Master Li, Miss Zeng was taken away by the people from the Ministry of Punishment."
Li Yi glanced at County Magistrate Liu, and the next moment he strode out the door: "Talk while walking!"
After Liu County Magistrate said that sentence, Lao Fang hurried out to prepare the car. Li Xuan threw away the eggplant he was eating, and Li Mingzhu walked by. Go to Kyoto city.

…
In the small courtyard, Xiao Cui walked up to Zeng Zuimo with a worried expression on her face, and asked, "Miss, if that person surnamed Chen comes again, what should we do? Should we tell Mr. Li about this?"
"No need." Zeng Zuimo shook his head, even if the other party was the son of the member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, but this is the capital, he couldn't help being too presumptuous, if it wasn't for the strength of wine yesterday, he would not have dared to do such a thing.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Let me see if Mr. Li is here." Xiao Cui ran over excitedly.
He quickly opened the door and saw a few fierce and terrifying people dressed as officials standing there, his pretty face turned pale immediately, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You guys, who are you looking for?"
"Who is Zeng Zuimo?" The leading official asked in a cold voice.
"I am, I don't know what this official officer is looking for with a little girl?" Zeng Zuimo came out from the inside, looked at the people in front of him, his face showed a little vigilance.
The officer glanced at her, and said coldly: "Master Chen's son was killed last night, we suspect that you are related to this case, come with us."
"Chen, Mr. Chen..., is he dead?" Xiaocui's body trembled, and her face immediately turned pale.
Zeng Zuimo stood in place, and after being stunned for a moment, his face suddenly changed as if he had thought of something.
"Take it away!" the leading guard said coldly, and turned around to leave.
Yang Liuqing walked over from not far away, waved to the people behind him, glanced at Zeng Zuimo and Xiao Cui, looked at the officials and said, "If that's the case, take me away together."
