I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 220 The Emperor's Fury

From the mouth of the river, we went through the waterway for more than a mile, swayed slowly, and it took only a cup of tea. Overlooking the past, there were two unremarkable boats parked on the pier at the southern end of Prison Island, and there was also a blackbird parked on the beach at the mouth of the river. The pontoon was in reserve, and the boat was docked at the simple pier on Prison Island. Donghai lowered the rope and threw it to the guards on the shore. Under the surprised eyes of everyone on the shore, dozens of young and beautiful girls walked out of the painting boat. Donghai coughed a few times, Those talents restrained their presumptuous gazes and lowered their heads.

The prison is four stories high, and it looks very sinister from a distance. Outside the high wall, there is an open space of [-] steps between the prison gate and the Nantou pier. It is estimated that it is usually used as a playground for prisoners to relax. , Now the hour is empty, except for the dust blown up by the wind, there is nothing else.

The playground was divided into two halves, and the other half was separated by a simple wooden fence. A dozen wooden stakes were erected on the west side, and archery targets were attached. There are few simple weapons, which should be used by officers and soldiers for training. Many officers and soldiers are dressed in short and tight clothes, shooting arrows there.

It was almost evening, and the new moon was like a silver bud hook. A few dim yellow lanterns were lit on the eaves of the prison building. From a distance, it looked like a sleeping snake that would wake up and eat people at any moment.

Walking into the high wall and entering from the main entrance, there is a long main corridor, about a hundred steps, and there are two-storey wing buildings on both sides of the inside. Clothes for military service.

"Miss Lu, this way." Donghai guided her.

Although he already had the experience of facing the king of a country, in such an environment, Lu Xizhi still felt a little nervous.

"How did the emperor come? When did he come?"

Dong Hai frowned: "This subordinate also just received a secret report."

"East is punishing, stay back."

Just after turning the corner, a soldier with the appearance of an imperial guard stretched out his hand and stopped Dong Hai.

Dong Hai clasped his fists politely, and said softly, "Commander Wei."

"The master has an order, just invite Miss Lu to go in."

Lu Xizhi was taken aback for a moment, and at the same time as Dong Hai, he aimed at the room behind Commander Wei. The door was slightly opened, and a tall figure could be vaguely seen sitting on the side. Majesty, and majesty seems to have... a hint of hostility.

People can't help but feel hairy, of course Donghai dare not disobey: "The minister resigns."

The people inside waved their hands: "You stay outside, Lu Xizhi comes in, and the rest of you leave."

"..." Lu Xizhi thought in her heart that she was really afraid of something!

On this gloomy prison island, Qi Tianyin began to listen to Lu Xizhi's report on the latest situation of this serial murder case.

This explanation took nearly half an hour.

"Based on what you're saying, most of my nobles went to the Aria Tower and were captured?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find out after interrogation after someone proves it."

"I also have doubts, but the list you gave me is a little different." Qi Tianyin waved to her.

Seeing the emperor calling him, Lu Xizhi quickly bowed and took two steps forward, leaning slightly, as if he was listening attentively.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Emperor Taihe raised his bright eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Xizhi, and said with a smile: "This is a report from a secret agent... quite interesting..."

Lu Xizhi raised her eyes slightly, seeing the emperor handing over a note, she hesitated to accept it.

"If I say yes, then it's fine, just wait and see."

Lu Xizhi took it with both hands, unfolded it, and saw only a few words: "The prisoner has been captured."

She froze on the spot in shock, holding the note in a daze, unable to speak.

The reason why Lu Xizhi was shocked was not because someone was captured, but because...

Qin committed the word.

It shows that the emperor has known everything for a long time, that's why he granted the imperial approval.

In fact, what Qi Tianyin thought in his heart was that if he didn't get it again, he should be shocked. After all, the matter is of great importance. It has been more than half a month since Dongchang took action. With so much manpower and material resources, if he doesn't make a move again, I really think that he has been soft and used to it for so many years.

"Your majesty, this criminal..."

"You want to ask, is it Chang Renxin who was arrested?"

Lu Xizhi pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Qi Tianyin shook his head.

Oh, as expected.

"Daughter, dare you, will the emperor shield the crown prince or the Chang family? This case can't be settled, Fan Ming is at best a scapegoat." She ignored Qi Tianyin's face, and thought about what the whole Lu family received a few months ago. The grievances, those underage girls who died unjustly, and the tragic fate of so many innocent girls in the Aria Building, she fought it out!
Then he said: "If His Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter, then it is the country's luck. The minister has collected a lot of evidence here, including some gossip, and there is also a report at the border. The envoy came from the East Palace and was going to Bagan. He changed to a fast horse in Jingzhou on the way, and the servant girl checked the archives of the edict issued in the East Factory, and found that at this time, the palace did not issue an edict... That is to say, how could there be a palm print on an imperial edict that does not exist in the Lian Palace? That is fraudulent, using special identities... even suspected of human smuggling."

"Bold!" Qi Tianyin slapped the table with his palm, and the teacup fell down with a crisp sound of shattering.

Lu Xizhi knelt down on the ground, but did not stop talking. She said with a serious face: "Those girls are all under 15 years old, and the youngest is only ten years old. But those wicked people don't treat them as human beings, and they suffer so much." They were tortured inhumanely, and in the end they ended up dead without a whole body, beyond recognition. The real culprit who hurt them has been at large, and even enjoyed the glory and wealth. The courtiers were ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case. Now, the culprit has been identified, please The emperor ordered the arrest!"

"Good job, Lu Xizhi!" Qi Tianyin stood up, pointed at the little girl on the ground, looking furious.

The little girl's words were upright and awe-inspiring, especially the kind of righteousness, even he, the emperor, felt a little embarrassed when he heard it. Of course, the embarrassment was not for her, but because he did have difficulties and other people's feelings. plan.

How can it be so simple for the king of a country to govern the country? If only relying on this righteousness, how can he fight against those tiger-like enemies.

Dong Hai was running around in a hurry outside. He never expected that Miss Lu, who seemed gentle and gentle, would dare to say such harsh words to the emperor, and she even pointed her finger at His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Do you know what you are talking about? Do you mean that the prince is the murderer?! Let me order the arrest of Da Jin's prince? Do you have any real evidence?"

"My daughter has evidence!"
