Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 172
Hidden in the crowd to see the Dali Temple busy, the official was coerced by the crowd to the gate.

Unexpectedly, the people in Chang'an City are becoming more and more serious.

They can't advance or retreat now.

Inadvertently, I saw Mingjing Yushi not far away, who was poking his head in the crowd. If he found them leaving, would he think that they didn't care about the lives of the people, and a casual complaint would be enough for them to drink a pot.

Today, the sage does not go to court, and only a few ministers are recruited to discuss matters.

These censors are really annoying, the sages are resting, and they are still jumping in front of them all the time, for fear that they will not be able to find out their faults. Is it easy for them?

There are several main streets in Chang'an City, and there is an extra food stall. They are not allowed to eat, but they have to think about arranging the other party in another alley, so they are placed on the main street. All tastes.

Food, clothing, utility, and cost are sold in the city.

Which one does not require them to investigate and visit secretly, and then submit it layer by layer, and it is up to the Shangguan to decide.

They happened to be wandering around, oh no, they visited Anhua Gate, and heard that there are more monsters there recently, more beautiful ones, ahem, a lot of vicious ones, they also want to do their part for the people of Chang'an City.

As a result, just in time, Dali Siqing returned to the city with more than ten bones.

It happened to be a time to see that the clothes of Si Qing, who was so clean that day, were disheveled.

Don't mention the small appearance, anyway, they dare not recognize it.

The people in Chang'an City were far more knowledgeable and daring than people in other places. They surrounded them fearlessly, trying to guess where the bones came from, how they were killed, and why they were killed.

But what they don't know is that the sum of their thoughts is not as shocking as what is written in the file of Dali Temple.

There are some evil deeds that only you dare not think about, and no one else dares to do.

The bad guy put on a blank face, carried sixteen corpses, walked through the streets, and returned to the yamen.

Dao Yi walked with them, and under her guidance, the corpses were neatly arranged in the autopsy room.

Taking the identity of the corpse, Chen Yizhi checked the information of his family one by one. If someone was in Chang'an, he had to visit the door with the bad person, notify the family to claim the corpse, and then inform his relatives of the details of the case.

After Wang Xuanzhi arrived at Dali Temple, he followed Qian Xiaoyang, who had been waiting early, back to the palace to freshen up carefully, and then smoked his whole body with grapefruit leaves, mugwort leaves, etc. To the imperial city.

When the sage received the request from the Minister of Dali Temple to ask for an audience, he was nodding his gray head, listening to the quarrel of the elders with great satisfaction. When fighting abroad, the barbarians did not dare to invade, and the Great Sunday gradually became peaceful.

I am so relieved.

The saint's good mood was wiped out with the arrival of Wang Xuanzhi.

Several elders, arguing endlessly for people and money, were all shocked and speechless because of what he said.

"Your Majesty, the sixteen murdered women are now parked in the autopsy room of Dali Temple, waiting for their family members to come to their door. The culprit who killed them was a monster, and our Daoist has already killed them on the spot."

The saint's face was gloomy. Although this incident happened in the previous dynasty, so many people were killed, no one could be happy, especially one of them, he had heard the name before, and he was from the same family. How could he remember wrong.

He once thought about letting the second child in the family marry that woman. Unfortunately, the other party has already made a marriage agreement. The man is a son of the Lu family in Shandong. statement.

"Wang Aiqing, the relatives of the victim, you must comfort them." He glanced at the old men who were next to the old gods, and he clicked on one of them, "It happens that Lu Shangshu is also there, you can discuss with him."

The saint remembers that Dali Temple is investigating cases, and it is especially short of money recently.

Ordinary cases are fine, and there is never a time when it is related to monsters that do not cost money.

Lu Shangshu of the household department subconsciously held his pockets tightly, fearing that everyone present would rush up and hold him in the Liangyi Hall, strip off all valuables on his body, and go home naked, which would be too impolite.

Lu Shangshu's defensive eyes made the other old men roll their eyes, as if they were rare, if they really want to grab it, they can't be in the Hall of Liangyi, they are not brats, they can do it After all, he was also the elder of the two dynasties, so he had to be prudent.

"Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed later. Xuan Zhi ordered me to report something important." Lu Shangshu held the hand of the money bag loosely and tightly, 'his' money was temporarily saved, but there was still room for it. Discuss later.

Wang Xuanzhi didn't pay attention to his complicated thoughts, anyway, if he went to get it later, he could always grind out the money.

Seeing his distressed face, the sage gave Zhang De a wink, and the latter understood, "My lords have had a hard time discussing matters, why don't you follow this old slave to the side hall to have some tea and snacks," Lu Shangshu and others followed him knowingly gone.

Zhang De brought people to the side hall, and after making arrangements, Fu came back to guard the gate of Liangyi Hall.He knew very well that even though Emperor Xuan was young, what he did was all practical things, and those who didn't care much would just talk about it.

"Your Majesty, when I investigated the Dukang case, I made another discovery."

"Ok?"

Wang Xuanzhi glanced at the gate of Liangyi Hall, and saw a familiar figure, and then he continued, "Du Kang is a monster, ignorant of the world, he kidnaps people without a trace, and ordinary people can't track it. Originally, but he was able to get what he was waiting for silently, there must be something strange in it.”

"This monster has been committing crimes since the previous dynasty. If there is an omission, it is an official of the previous dynasty. What is the strange thing Wang Aiqing said?" The saint pointed out the loopholes in his words.

Wang Xuanzhi shook his head, "Returning to Your Majesty, that's not the case."

"At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the population, fields, etc. of various places will be re-registered. However, Dukang's Huilan Yuan, according to the records of the subordinates, has bypassed the inspection several times. Who is helping it behind this, or Talk about the monsters in Chang'an City."

The saint pondered, "I will leave this matter to you to investigate. Da Zhou must never repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty."

Wang Xuanzhi held the long wat and bowed, "Saint, I have another important matter to report. The corpses not brought back from Pu County, the case of Huilan Court, and the case of exterminating the gate of Yonghe Square in the previous dynasty are all related to a group of black people who have seen their heads and tails. It's about the clothes."

"According to the evidence in the files of Dali Temple, the belts they wear around their waists all have a pattern like this." The pattern Wang Xuanzhi had drawn in advance was presented, and the moment the saint took it, his complexion changed drastically. He was startled and angry, " Thorough investigation!"
