Chapter 215 Twelve Corpses
Ying Zhenxing's heart skipped a beat: "What does your lord mean... I'm afraid there will be a lot involved in this case?"

Chu Qing said: "I hope it's just my overthinking." But twelve lives in three years, I'm afraid it's not only that, there are twelve corpses just thrown away, since the other party's picture is a beautiful young woman, it must be in If the family is favored, it is impossible for the family members not to report the case, but after so many years, they have not heard anything, either, there is no case, or...someone suppressed it.

Ying Zhenxing's brows were also frowned, and Chu Qing continued: "Have someone check the Yinyue Tower. In addition to this brothel, the princess and Amon ran out to visit the Yinyue Tower disguised as a man that night." Afterwards, there was a quarrel with a person outside the building, and we tried to find that person."

Ying Zhenxing didn't ask anymore, now that time is running out and every second counts, perhaps Chu Qing's previous words made him feel the difficulty of this case, so Ying Zhenxing stopped talking and went to handle it immediately.

When Ying Zhenxing came back, Chu Qing had already examined all twelve corpses one by one.

"My lord, what can you see?"

Chu Qingzheng took off his gloves, washed his hands, spit out the ginger slices in his mouth, and frowned deeply: "Twelve corpses, judging from the degree of decay, the oldest corpse was three years ago, and the date is also As Liu San'er first saw, record that day, and then look at the degree of rot, the other party will shoot once every three months. According to this time point, check the young women who have accidents in these days, let the master After sorting out the books and handing them over to me quickly, and after sorting out the jewelry salvaged from the dry well, the families of these missing women were called to identify the corpses and confirm the details of the eleven corpses except Amon. Identity. Also, after confirming, find a painter to paint portraits of these eleven families, ask where the missing lady went before she disappeared, sort out a list, and quickly hand it to me."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, Ying Zhenxing wrote down one by one: "But my lord... this is not an easy task. I'm afraid it won't be done within three days." It has been three years since a corpse, and it is not certain whether some people will still live in the capital.

Chu Qing rubbed his brows: "Then as soon as possible. Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday. I will enter the palace to celebrate his birthday. I will send out all the servants who don't need to enter the palace. After I come back, I will count as one person if I find out. ?"

Ying Zhenxing also nodded solemnly: "Yes, this subordinate knows."

After Chu Qing finished giving her orders, she went back to her study, thinking about the twelve corpses in her mind, but her brows were deeply furrowed: Who is the murderer?Why do you want to catch so many beautiful little girls?What if it was really just to force these little girls? The capital said it was not small, but it was not big, so it was impossible that no traces had been exposed, but why hadn't there been any rumors in the past three years?
Is this really a coincidence?Or is she thinking wrong, these missing people are just ordinary people?Aren't they all pretty little girls?

Because Chu Qing provided a rough timeline, the yamen servants sent by Ying Zhenxing to check eliminated many families, but there were not many women who disappeared or were killed in the whole capital city with unknown whereabouts, so it was still a huge problem for them. In addition to the project and the need to find the family of the missing girl, everyone in the government office was busy. After working hard all night, they managed to sort out a general outline and screened out fifty people.

At present, it is necessary to find these fifty families, and then notify them one by one to come to identify the corpses.

At dawn the next day, Chu Qing rubbed her sore neck and looked at the people in the room: "Okay, that's it for now, leave a few people to notify someone one by one, if you can't find it, mark it first, Let those who can be found for the time being identify the corpse. The rest of the people go to rest and take turns to change. The case can't be solved in a day, and people can't do it when they are exhausted." Chu Qing's words made everyone shake their spirits, thinking that the adults They stayed up all night with them, adults were not tired, and they were not tired, but in the end, Ying Zhenxing drove them away directly, and the government office was empty for a while.

Chu Qing saw that it was almost time to go to court, so she stood up, almost fell because she had been sitting for too long, but was supported by Ying Zhenxing: "My lord, be careful."

Chu Qing quickly withdrew her hand: "Excuse me, it's almost time to go to court. I'm afraid the palace is a little busy today. I don't know when I will come back. You will also enter the palace during the dinner. If you have something to do on the way, just go Just come to the palace."

Ying Zhenxing looked at the blackness in her eyes, and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart: "My lord, you haven't slept all night, if not, then..."

Chu Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm entering the palace, and I will leave this place to you."

Ying Zhenxing saw that she rubbed her face, washed up a bit, changed her official robes and regained her energetic appearance. She still had that handsome face, like a green bamboo. Wherever she stood, it made people feel There is a feeling of a breeze blowing on the face, and I can't even look away.Chu Qing turned her head and was about to say hello and leave, when she saw Ying Zhenxing staring at her blankly, she couldn't help wiping her face: "What's wrong? But what's the problem?"

Ying Zhenxing withdrew his gaze calmly: "No, this subordinate remembered that Yipinzhai had brought some porridge, which hit a wooden barrel, so you can drink some when you are sitting in a sedan chair." How busy is Wanshou Festival? I know, he has participated in it a few times, but my lord probably hasn't. He kind of wants to leave this stall in the government office and follow your lord into the palace, help her deal with those things, and let her have a good rest.

But he couldn't say these words, he could only silently do what he could.

Chu Qing didn't expect the other party to be so careful: "Ying Yatou is really timely. I am a little hungry. With Ying Yatou's porridge, I can last until lunch." Chu Qing is not polite to him, waiting for this Now that the case is over, she decides to treat the people in the government office to a good meal, but she doesn't know if her salary for the fourth-rank punishment is enough to pay for a meal in the first-rank restaurant.

When Chu Qing arrived at the door, it happened that Yipinzhai delivered the porridge, and Chu Qing got into the soft sedan chair with the wooden bucket, but after staying up all night, she covered her lips and yawned, followed by the swaying soft sedan chair. , fell asleep, and when they got to the gate of Xuanwu, colleagues had already arrived one after another. Chu Qing woke up and saw that the time was almost the same, but it was not easy to eat porridge anymore. Fortunately, Ying Zhenxing was thoughtful, and he chose that A very thick wooden barrel, which has a slight insulation effect, but I don't know if it will be hot after the morning.

Chu Qing hurriedly followed her colleagues into the Jinluan Hall through the side door with the wooden barrel in hand, but before entering, she secretly placed the wooden barrel at the corner outside the hall, just in time to face the guard guarding the door, and grinned: "Eat breakfast, eat breakfast, Please be merciful, everyone."

The imperial guard didn't say anything to Shang Chuqing's bright smile, and waved his hand: "Master Yu, go in quickly."

Seeing that the other party didn't take it back, Chu Qing hurriedly entered the Jinluan Hall with his sleeves in his hands, breathed out a breath of white air, and stood up, because Li Tianxiao yelled at him for dozing off last time in front of all the civil and military officials, so Chu Qing persisted for a while. In the early morning, I wish I could blink my eyelids.

Fortunately, today is Longevity Day, Li Tianxiao was also busy reading, just asked a few questions, and then left.

Chu Qing was thinking about her porridge, and when the head of the imperial court yelled, "Report if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do", she turned around and followed her colleagues to the side door, but she couldn't help but covered her lips and yawned. Mr. Shi saw her tired face, and whispered: "I heard that the government office accepted another big case yesterday, in which twelve corpses were uncovered. You must have been busy all night, right?"

Chu Qing smiled and responded: "No, I have been busy all night, and I will be busy later."

The third-rank censor also smiled, knowing that she was Liu Guojiu's person, he didn't dare to show face: "Young people are good, old bones like us, staying up all night will kill us..."

Chu Qing was sleepy at first, and managed to finish dealing with Mr. Yushi. As a result, other colleagues probably heard that the case involved the princess of the southern country, and they all said a few words.While dealing with it, Chu Qing stared at the porridge in the corner, heartbroken, almost cold.After finally dismissing her colleagues, she had just picked up the porridge, and before she opened it to see if it was cold, she saw the head of the imperial court coming to her with a whisk, and said with a smile, "Master Yu?"

Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat, why does the emperor want to find her again?She didn't doze off this time: "Eunuch Liu, what's the matter?"

"The emperor has heard about the case of the princess of the Southern Kingdom, and wants to inquire further. Please, Mr. Yu, go with the miscellaneous family." The head of the imperial court has a good attitude. Chu Qing knew that the other party was Li Tianxiao's person, so she didn't dare to really say no. Go, but didn't you ask all the questions yesterday?She touched her stomach and could only follow.

After arriving at the imperial study room, after Chu Qing walked in, the manager closed the door and left. For a while, only Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao were left in the imperial study room.

Chu Qing hugged the porridge bucket, saw that Li Tianxiao was correcting a paper, did not dare to interrupt, just waited for a stick of incense, seeing that Li Tianxiao still ignored her, Chu Qing knew that the other party was very angry, and was afraid that she was still worried about what happened before It's awkward, I couldn't smell anything when the cold winter wind blew outside, now in the enclosed space, the earth dragon in the imperial study room was burning very vigorously again, and the ambergris in the incense burner in the corner didn't suppress the aroma of the porridge. Sneaking a peek at Li Tianxiao, seeing that he didn't notice him at all, he couldn't help holding the porridge bucket in front of him, his nose moved: it smells so good...

Sure enough, it is worthy of Yipinzhai's porridge, and after smelling the aroma, I am even more hungry.

When Chu Qing squinted her eyes and couldn't help but sucked twice, she raised her eyes and peeked at Li Tianxiao, just in time to meet Li Tianxiao's dark phoenix eyes, half-closed her eyes, staring thoughtfully at the porridge bucket in Chu Qing's arms : "Where did you get the money to buy Yipinzhai's porridge?"
