At the beginning, the empress will be the queen and eat soft rice to open the blind box

After breakfast, after dismissing the yawning maid to rest, Yue Zhi led Xiaodezi Xie Tang and several guards, and swaggered out of the imperial city.

A large circle of people surrounded the gate of the Criminal Department.

In the middle of the crowd, an old woman in ragged clothes was kneeling.

The chicken-skinned and white-haired old woman cried while hugging a policeman's thigh,

"Ximen arrests the head, my old man has been missing for more than a month. So far, no one is alive or dead. Please show mercy and help this old woman!"

The one who was hugged by the old woman's thigh was Ximen Ruoshui, the head arrester of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Ximen Butou looked helpless, "Grandma Wang, let me go first, and speak up if you have something to say."

"My lord, you are a good official, please help the old lady, I kowtow to you."

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head with a "bang bang".

Ximen Ruoshui quickly grabbed the old woman, and said with a troubled expression, "Grandma Wang, the case of Wang Laoshi's disappearance should be handed over to the head arrester of Shuntian Mansion, and I can't do it for me."

The old woman, Grandma Wang, had snot and tears on her face mixed with the blood flowing from her forehead. She looked miserable, and she just cried and begged.

Yue Zhi originally planned to go to the criminal department to close the case, but found a large circle of people around the door, and walked over curiously.

He tiptoed and looked inside for a long time, but he didn't understand what was going on.

A fool who looked like a little gangster squeezed out from the crowd, "It's boring, so it turned out that the old lady of the Wang family came to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to make trouble again."

Yue Zhi rolled his eyes, walked over and stopped him, "Brother, please!"

The little gangster was taken aback. The person blocking the way in front of him was dressed luxuriously, and there were several guards with swords behind him. He looked rich or expensive, but he didn't dare to offend him.

"Ah... well, wake up, young master, what's the use of blocking the villain's way?"

Xiao Dezi let out a "puchi" laugh, "What's so expensive? Are you trying to say what's so expensive?"

The little gangster blushed and said angrily, "Why, is there a difference? It's just that the order is reversed."

Yue Zhi glared at Xiao Dezi, laughed and said, "No, no, it's all the same!"

The little gangster felt much more comfortable, and looked sideways at Xiao Dezi from the corner of his eyes, "You see, the young master said there is no difference."

Xiao Dezi was stared at by Yue Zhi, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

The little gangster felt that he had the upper hand, and he felt a little complacent, "My lord, I don't know if you stopped me, what's the matter?"

This time I won't drag the text, and if I drag it wrong, I will be laughed at by that brat.

"Oh, brother, I don't know what happened here, why are there so many people watching the fun?"

"My lord, if you ask me, you are asking the right person. The old woman's husband's family name is Wang, and the villagers call her Granny Wang. The official's surname is Ximen, and she is the arresting head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Yue Zhi nodded, "I know the head arrester Ximen, you can continue talking!"

The bastard-looking man secretly said, this young master actually knows the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, fortunately I didn't offend him.

"The husband of Granny Wang, named Wang Laoshi, went to cut firewood outside the city early in the morning a month ago, and never came back, so Granny Wang reported to the official."

Yue Zhi asked strangely, "Shouldn't this kind of matter be under the control of Shun Tian Fu?"

The little gangster sneered, "These days, Shengdou Xiaomin can't even enter the gate of Shuntian. The government is just perfunctory in such cases of disappearance."

I didn't realize that you are still a cynical youth from another world.

Just as Yue Zhi was about to ask again, a group of people walked out of the yamen of the Criminal Department, and someone shouted loudly, "It's gone, what are you doing around the entrance of the Criminal Department, do you want to be punished?"

As soon as the onlookers saw that the official came out, they scattered in all directions, standing on the corner of the street and watching from a distance, not daring to gather around the gate of the Ministry of Justice anymore.

The little gangster that Yue Zhi stopped was also scared, and hurried out among the crowd.

The mother-in-law shrank and hid in the corner of the wall, not daring to cry out again.

Ximen Ruoshui let out a long breath, and said to the tall and thin middle-aged leader, "Deputy arrester Jin, is there any official business?"

Deputy Catcher Jin had no expression on his face, "Captain Ximen, the newly-appointed servant sent me to call Hong Xiucai's wife."

Ximen Ruoshui wondered, "Could it be that Minister Xiao wants to retry Hong Xiucai's case?"

The Deputy Catcher Jin obviously didn't want to say more, he let out a "hmm" and led the people away quickly.

Ximen Ruoshui turned around and said to the old woman, "Grandma Wang, don't worry, if there is any news about your husband Wang Laoshi, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible."

Granny Wang fell to her knees and thanked her a thousand times.

Yue Zhi was about to step into the gate of the Ministry of Justice, when someone behind him shouted loudly, "Yue Zhi, Yue Zhi, is that Yue Zhi? I'm Xiao Moyi!"

A slender green-clothed girl jumped down from a small sedan chair behind her, threw herself to Yue Zhi's side, and hugged his arm. It was the majestic Xiao Moyi.

"Ahem, it's Mo Yi. I'm your sister's husband. You should call me brother-in-law. It's not proper to call me by my first name."

Xiao Moyi hugged his arm tightly, "I'm going to call you Yue Zhi, how about it? Yue Zhi Yue Zhi Yue Zhi."

Well, you're big and you win.

Yue Zhi pulled his arm hard, but he didn't pull it out.

Damn, Xiao Moyi, have you eaten powerful feed? How could it be so big?

Since the hijacking incident, this sister-in-law's attitude towards Yue Zhi has obviously changed.

"Yue Zhi, are you also here to close the case? My uncle said it was just a formality."

Feeling Xiao Moyi's enthusiasm, he had to put on a serious face, "Then let's go in together!"

The yamen guard at the gate looked very winking, and didn't dare to stop them, and let a few people in directly.

He found the scribe in the punishment room and explained his intention.

Without further ado, the clerk took out a case file on the murder of Li Rulong, a resident of the imperial capital, and pointed to the blank space, "You two, just sign here and go!"

At the end of the case file, it was written that after investigation, Li Rulong was killed by the spirit beast of Changfeng Forest in revenge.

It really was a formality.

After completing the formalities and walking out of the gate of the Ministry of Justice, Xiao Moyi said coyly, "Yue Zhi, I treat you to dinner, thank you for saving me the day before yesterday, I don't know if you will reward me or not?"

"Of course it's a face. I like to be invited to dinner. Where shall we eat?"

"Qingfeng Building!"

The backyard of Qingfeng Building, Su Qianyue's boudoir.

The tall woman, Lu Erniang, stood with her black-clothed elder brother with their hands down.

Su Qianyue, who was sitting at the table, was about to cry, "Second Sister Lu, Fourth Brother She, is there still no news about Xiyue?"

Lu Erniang and She Si looked at each other, shook their heads together, and She Si said, "Miss, the subordinate is incompetent, and the young master still hasn't been found."

Su Qianyue's eyes were a little blank, "Where did Xiyue go?"

Lu Erniang clasped her fists and saluted, "Girl, the fourth child and I have been searching for the remaining minions of the Changfeng three monsters in the imperial capital these days, interrogating more than a dozen people in a row, and they all said that the little master did not fall into the hands of the witch."

She Si nodded, "Girl, according to the clues I got, the person who bought the little master that day seems to be someone from the imperial city."

"Imperial City?"
