In the county office, Li Mingzhu frowned and asked, "In one month, there have been more than a dozen cases of missing women and girls near the capital?"
Liu Da nodded and said, "Since the first report was received more than a month ago, including today's two reports, there have been thirteen cases."
The law and order in Kyoto has always been good, and there are countless martial arts heroes among the people. There are very few major cases. After the previous cases of missing women, he didn't care too much about them. The case, his small capital order, will soon be overwhelmed.
The abduction and trafficking of women and children has been repeatedly prohibited by the imperial court, but there are some people who acted so boldly at the foot of the emperor in the capital. Li Mingzhu looked at the two sad-faced people in the hall and asked, "Have you found any clues now?"
Liu Dayou shook his head and said: "I have sent people to investigate and secretly visited many places, and even asked the police to stay on guard overnight, but the thief was extremely careful, never committing crimes in the same place, and he still found nothing..."
"What did Liu Yishou say?" Li Yi thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Has the case been submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
Liu Dayou shook his head again: "Liu Shilang is busy with official duties, and he still has a few big cases in his hands. I think that if it is not necessary, it is better not to trouble him."
Li Yi nodded, waved and said, "Go and get the files of these cases."
Liu Dayou was overjoyed when he heard the words. He had already experienced Lord Li's ability when he was in Qing'an Mansion. Seeing that the master beside him was still standing still, he kicked him and hurriedly said: "It's not too late. Bring those dossiers!"
Then he looked at Li Yi and Princess Zhang, and said, "Your Highness, Lord Li, please move to the back hall."
In the back hall of the county yamen, Li Mingzhu saw Li Yi flipping through the file but didn't say a word, and couldn't help asking, "Did you see anything?"
"Don't worry, you think I'm Baogong alive..." Li Yi opened the files, turned around and said, "Master Liu, please bring me a map of the vicinity of Kyoto."
County magistrate Liu is much more reliable in his work, and he doesn't have as many problems as the eldest princess. Without further ado, he quickly asked someone to bring out a detailed map.
"February 13th, Yangcun..." Li Yi looked back at County Magistrate Liu, and asked, "Where is Yangcun?"
County magistrate Liu casually pointed to a spot above, and Li Yi picked up a pen and drew a circle on that spot.
Li Yi opened another volume: "February 16th, Wei Village... Where is Wei Village?"
County Magistrate Liu pointed out, "Here."
He already understood Li Yi's meaning at this moment, even if he didn't know what he was going to do, he still took the initiative to mark the locations of all the missing women on the files.
Watching Li Yi start to connect the small circles marked with lines, a large network immediately appeared on the map, and after circled the place with the densest lines on the network, if County Magistrate Liu still doesn't understand that he is No matter what you do, you will not sit in the position of the capital order for such a long time and be so stable.
With a look of admiration on his face, he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your guidance!"
Li Yi put down his pen, waved his hand, pointed to the big circle drawn at the end, and said, "The key point is to send people to visit this place secretly, and be careful not to be discovered by others. If you find something, don't act rashly. These people have not been discovered for committing crimes many times, and they will not be idlers. When the time comes, the Secret Service Division will cooperate with you... "
Now that this matter has been encountered, he will do it smoothly. There is only so much he can do.
Walking out of the county government office, the eldest princess shook her head and said: "There is someone so bold under the emperor's feet. If they are far away from the capital, I don't know what the chaos will be like."
"Where there are people, there is evil, and the world is united... It's just an ideal. It is already amazing to make the world look peaceful and clean." Li Yi turned to look at him and said, "Girl, work hard..."
The expression on Li Mingzhu's face did not change significantly. When he sent her to the gate of the palace, he suddenly said: "Don't forget what the day after tomorrow is."
"What day is the day after tomorrow?"
Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. He, who had a psychological shadow about this, would still tremble a little when he heard similar words again.
The last time Miss Liu Er told him not to forget what day would be seven days later, but he racked his brains and couldn't remember, it wasn't Ruyi's birthday, her birthday, or Xiaohuan's birthday, and it wasn't the third anniversary of their acquaintance—he was frightened After taking a roundabout strategy all day long, he learned from Xiaohuan that it was his own birthday seven days later...
He has been very depressed about this. How can there be such a strange problem in the world
He tentatively asked: "We have known each other for two years, seven months and...how many days?"
Seeing the puzzled expression on her face, she immediately changed her words: "No, that's your birthday... No, your birthday just passed."
Seeing her frowning, a light flashed in Li Yi's mind, and he suddenly said: "I remembered, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is the first day of your menstruation... remember to drink plenty of water, rest more, don't get tired That's right, let's let go of the affairs of the government and leave it to the people below to do it..."
Li Mingzhu looked at him and said calmly, "The day after tomorrow is the first day of junior high school."
Li Yi thought for a while, and said with certainty: "Last month was also the first day of junior high school."
Li Mingzhu said calmly: "On the first day of the lunar new year, there will be morning court. Father specifically said that there will be morning court once a month. If you wake up an hour earlier, you won't die."
"ah?"
Li Yi just remembered that in the past few months, if the old emperor hadn't been so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, he would still go to court in person on the first day of every month.
"Oh, I know I'm going to court on the first day of the new year." Li Yi nodded, and when he turned around and walked back, he turned back and said, "However, you still have to remember to rest more..."
…
In the Qin family, in a room, the big man said apologetically, "Fifth Master, I'm sorry, I can't do that..."
The middle-aged man looked up at her and asked, "Why?"
The big man sighed, and said helplessly: "That girl was taken away by the yamen, I dare not stop the people in the yamen!"
The middle-aged man stood up and asked slowly, "Which Yamen?"
"It's the Jingzhao government office."
The big man said angrily: "You said that the people in the Jingzhao government office are too insignificant. The girl died of her sister a while ago and went to the office to file a complaint. She was arrested and locked up for two months. She was just released. Two hours later, she was arrested again, saying that she stole something from Mr. Fuyin, isn't that nonsense... Fifth Master, I'm sorry, I failed to protect her well... "
"Stole something from Mr. Fu Yin, and was caught again..." After muttering something, the middle-aged man sat down slowly, and after a long time, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault..."
The big man asked curiously: "Fifth Master, who is the girl you asked me to protect?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "She is a poor person..."
The big man nodded again and again: "It's quite pitiful, those officials, why don't they have any sympathy..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand casually: "Go down first."
The big man responded, retreated to the door, and closed the door.
The middle-aged man lowered his head, and after a long time, a smile appeared on his face, and he murmured: "Zeng Shichun, Zeng Shichun..."
