The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

In the barren grassland outside the city, Zhao Hong hurried over after receiving the report. Seeing the scattered corpses, Zhao Hong frowned, and he always had something bad in his heart.

After a while, officers and soldiers came forward: "My lord, I have checked everything. These people are already dead. They all have wounds caused by sharp weapons. They should be caused by the sword next to them. There is nothing from the men in black. I found some useful information on the body, but there is a corpse dressed differently from these men in black, and the fabric looks luxurious, but the face is ruined, so I am afraid it cannot be recognized.”

As soon as Zhao Hong heard this, he immediately asked the officers and soldiers to take him there.

When he got to the depths of the grass, Zhao Hongcai saw the person lying on his back on the grass, the blood under his body stained the large area of ​​the grass red, the clothes were brocade, and he was wearing a jade pendant around his waist, he looked like a rich man indeed.

The man's face was covered by a white cloth.

Zhao Hong was about to uncover it, but the officers and soldiers hurriedly stopped him: "My lord!"

Zhao Hong paused and looked over suspiciously.

The officers and soldiers hesitated and said: "This face has been damaged too badly. Just now, two brothers couldn't bear to look at it and went to the side to ease it. Why don't you...don't look at it? Let's look for it from other places. For clues, find out if there is anyone missing recently, and let the family members come to claim it. Even if the face is returned, the family members will definitely be able to recognize the clothes and body features."

Before the officers and soldiers finished speaking, Zhao Hong had already lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

The moment he saw that face, Zhao Hongrao gasped as he was mentally prepared.

I saw the wounds all over the face, the flesh and blood turned out, revealing the white bones, and the rolled out flesh and blood were red and white, which was the color of the mixture of muscle fibers and blood.

Because it has been here for a while, there are even ants and bugs crawling on the rolled up flesh and blood.

Zhao Hong only glanced at it, then quickly covered it with a white cloth, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief with his other hand, held back so as not to spit it out, and looked up at the officers and soldiers.

"What about Wu Zuo? Ask Wu Zuo if there is a way to sew up the wound on this man's face."

"Wu Zuo has come to see it just now, and it can be stitched up, but this baby is troublesome, my lord, let's ask the family members to come and claim it."

Zhao Hong was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "If you have time, let's sew it up, and the family members will feel better when they see it..."

"Yes."

Zhao Hong stood up and looked around. It seemed that these black-clothed men were all targeting this man, and this man was also powerful. Although he was seriously injured and died, these black-clothed men also died here.

He was about to leave when he suddenly guessed something under his feet, Zhao Hong looked down in doubt.

All I could see was a bronze square sign scattered on the blood-stained grass.

Zhao Hong picked it up, wiped it with the handkerchief in his hand, and then looked at it backwards. It was just this one glance, and Zhao Hong's expression changed drastically!

He subconsciously held the token tightly, turned around and looked at the unrecognizable corpse, his face was pale, his whole body trembling and crumbling.

The officers and soldiers noticed something was wrong, and hurried over to support Zhao Hong: "My lord! What's wrong?"

"Quick! Quick!"

Zhao Hong's voice was trembling: "Find a carriage and bring this corpse into the carriage properly, and return to the city!"

"But my lord, we haven't found out what's going on yet, just moving the corpse around like this..."

"Do as I say!"

Zhao Hong no longer dared to think about it anymore, he was at a loss in fear.

Seeing a group of officers and soldiers coming to lift up the corpse and carefully place it on the carriage, Zhao Hong got on his horse tremblingly and followed them back to the city.

Along the way, Zhao Hong's mind was chaotic.

He still held the token tightly in his hand.

How should he be?

Back in the capital, Zhao Hong didn't even enter the Yamen of the Jingzhao Mansion, and sent him directly to the Ministry of Punishment with the token.

When the Ministry of Punishment saw the token that Zhao Hong carefully handed over, he couldn't help but change his face, and looked at Zhao Hong in shock.

Zhao Hong struggled to choose his words: "The lower official received the report and went outside the city. The token is next to the corpse. It seems that it was left here. The lower official is not sure if it belongs to the corpse. I couldn't confirm the identity of the corpse, and I was afraid of being abrupt during the autopsy, so...all of them were sent to the Ministry of Punishment."

If that unrecognizable person is really the emperor who has been missing for such a long time, this matter is too terrible.

The emperor who disappeared in Linchuan died in the outskirts of the capital, still in such a cruel way.

The torrents in the court were raging, and he, a small Jingzhao government official, had no ability to resist these things at all.

The official of the Ministry of Punishment was holding the token with trembling hands, and was about to go out to check, when someone came to report: "My lord, someone from the Liu family has arrived."

"The Liu family?"

Zhao Hong and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice glanced at each other, and went outside one after the other.

As soon as he left the door, he saw Liu Shu coming in with his long entourage.

After entering the room together and sitting down, Liu Shucai said, "I heard that a murder case occurred outside the city, but the Jingzhao Mansion sent it directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Is this case serious?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice smiled and said, "Are you very interested in this case?
"No, I just happened to hear about it and passed by the Ministry of Punishment, so I came here to ask."

"It turned out to be like this..." Minister of Criminal Affairs said: "It's just that now that the case has been sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, we should consider the case as the most important thing. Before the case is solved, it's hard to say anything."

The meaning of this refusal is obvious.

He obviously didn't want to say anything more.

Liu Shu also understood that the people in the criminal department had nothing to do with their Liu family, and if something happened to them, they might not look at the Liu family's face.

But she didn't expect that at this time, the Ministry of Justice's mouth is still so hard.

His eyes swept over Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and Zhao Hong, and he stood up with a good voice: "This is also a matter of course. It is inconvenient for me to stay here, so I will leave first."

Coming out of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Hua took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Patriarch, I have checked before Zhao Hong went, and all the dead are ours, and I have erased all the traces on them. The unrecognizable corpse does look like the emperor, but...the emperor has guards around him, but there are none in the corpse."

"not a single one?"

"No."

After receiving Zhaohua's affirmative answer, Liu Shu frowned unconsciously.

but……

"I heard that Fu Yao went to Linchuan?"

"Yes, son, don't you know about this?"

"That's right." Liu Shu snorted and said, "Li Mi has always been conceited. He dared to take a few guards with him for such a big matter as going to Linchuan. In addition, there is another Fu Yao in Linchuan. Li Mi Most likely he came back alone, leaving everyone around him to protect Fu Yao."
