Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 155 The Eighteen Female Corpse Case

The news that the new policy of the Tang Dynasty was implemented throughout the country spread.

Whether it is the overseas Dongying island country, or the stone country in the Western Regions, or Turkic, Shiwei and other countries.

They all followed Datang's New Deal.

There have also been sensational New Deal reforms.

old city.

Oh no!

After the New Deal.

The old city now has a new name.

This new name is - "Chubei City"

The Chu in "Chubei City" refers to Li Kuan's title, the Chu of King Chu.

"north"

It refers to the city's capital in the north of Chang'an City.

The former old city yamen was also demolished.

On the original location, the City Lord's Mansion of Chubei City was built.

"Drive by..."

A white horse stopped in Chubei City, five meters away from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

A man wearing a yellow dragon suit jumped off the horse.

Riding a white horse and wearing a yellow dragon suit is the symbol of the Dragon Department today.

He is the Dragon Guard of the Dragon Department.

The dragon guard had just jumped off his horse, and trotted to the gate.

Long Wei did not want to enter the city lord's mansion.

Instead, he shouted to a guard standing in the gate: "Excuse me, is His Royal Highness King Chu in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Lord Longwei, you came at a really bad time."

"His Royal Highness just took his pet cat out."

The guard knew that the Long Guard in front of him must have come to find their city lord under the emperor's order.

"Then do you know where Your Highness went?"

"Or, when will King Chu come back?"

"This one……"

The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know where His Highness has gone, let alone when His Highness will come back."

"Master Longwei, is there anything important?"

"You can tell the villain. After His Highness comes back, the villain will tell His Highness."

"Your Majesty, give the order."

"Let me come and summon the king of Chu to Beijing."

"This is the letter His Majesty asked me to deliver to the King of Chu, after His Majesty returns."

"Please also pass it on to His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"Master Longwei please rest assured, when His Highness returns, the villain will definitely be handed over to His Highness."

"Row!"

"Then I'll go back to the palace and return to my life."

Done.

This dragon guard jumped on the white horse again and left here.

It was less than a stick of incense before Long Wei left.

A horse-drawn carriage drove towards this side.

The coachman in charge of driving the carriage is a child.

It was also Xiao Feiliu.

There were two people and a cat sitting in the carriage.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, two meters away.

"Brother Kuan, we're home."

Xiao Feiliu laughed and jumped off the carriage.

Li Kuan and Li Yuanfang got out of the carriage.

"Your Highness, you are finally back."

The guard standing in the gate saw Li Kuan's figure.

He hurriedly left the gate.

When he came close to Li Kuan, he bowed slightly and saluted.

Then he handed a letter to Li Kuan.

"Your Highness, this was sent by a dragon guard just now."

"The Lord Longwei also said that His Majesty would like to invite His Highness to come to Beijing."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Kuan nodded and took the letter from the guard's hand.

Then he said: "This king knows."

"Go and park the carriage!"

Li Kuan ordered the guard to say this, and ignored the guard.

Go directly towards the gate.

Xiao Feiliu and Li Yuanfang followed closely behind and walked in.

"Yuan Fang, I'm hungry."

"Go and tell Ying'er to cook quickly."

"Then take the food to the side hall!"

"I'll go back to my room and take a rest first. After the meal is ready, you can wake me up again."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Kuan took the letter and returned to his room.

And the tiger-faced Elvis, who was hugged tightly by Li Yuanfang all the way, saw Li Kuan leave.

It also broke free from Li Yuanfang's arms, and then ran away in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Feiliu had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't relax, so he climbed over a wall and ran to play.

Li Kuan returned to his room.

Lying halfway on the bed, he opened the letter and read it.

The contents of the letter are divided into two parts.

The beginning of the letter says something about the New Deal.

For example, tell Li Kuan, who will be the Dragon King, Li Shimin has not yet decided on a candidate.

There is already a candidate for the position of Tiger King.

In fact, Li Kuan didn't need Li Shimin to tell Li Kuan, Li Kuan also knew that the position of Tiger King could only be held by Li Jing.

the letter reads.

The Dragon King of the Tiger Department was selected, and Li Jing was appointed.

And Li Jing's apprentice Hou Junchen became a tiger envoy.

Although the Dragon Department currently has no candidate for the Dragon King.

However, the Dragon Department represents the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so the Dragon Department still needs someone to manage it.

So I asked Xu An to temporarily manage the Dragon Department and take up the post of acting Dragon King.

When the Dragon Department has a Dragon King, Xu An will be appointed as the Dragon Envoy.

Li Shimin mentioned in his letter that he planned to let Li Kuan decide the candidate for the Dragon King of the Dragon Ministry.

As long as the candidate recommended by Li Kuan passes the test of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the important officials of the court.

Then Li Shimin let him be the Dragon King.

After reading this part.

for the next section.

What was written was the main reason why Li Kuan came to Beijing this time.

It turned out to be related to a murder case.

The victims of this murder were all women.

None were over 20 years old.

The youngest girl is only six years old.

In this homicide case, a total of eighteen women were killed.

Eighteen women were all bled, and the blood dried up to death.

This case.

It was discovered by people from the Ministry of Industry at the beginning.

That is, in the afternoon three days ago.

People from the Ministry of Industry.

I am exploring aqueducts on the wasteland in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.

Suddenly dug into the human finger.

People from the Ministry of Industry dug up a female body.

Digging work was subsequently called off.

The people from the Ministry of Industry reported the discovery of the woman's body to the Chang'an Criminal and Arrest Department.

The director of the Chang'an Criminal Investigation Department personally led people to the place where the female body was found.

Datang's New Deal has just been implemented.

And Wang Anda, the first director of Chang'an Criminal Apprehension Department, of course had to come to the scene of the murder in person.

At the beginning, Wang Anda thought it was just an ordinary murder case.

But what I didn't expect was when he arrived.

His men had dug up eighteen female corpses.

At that time, Wang Anda almost passed out.

I was the first director of the Criminal Apprehension Department, and I never thought that such a serious murder would happen in Chang'an City when I took office.

He knew it was such a big case.

Even if he wanted to hide it, it would be useless.

At most conceal the past two or three days.

In the world, there is no paper that is not afraid of fire.

Sooner or later, this paper will be burned.

So Wang Anda told this to his elder brother, who is now the lord of Chang'an City, Wang Qinian.

After Wang Qinian learned about this from his younger brother.

He entered the palace immediately and reported the matter to the present sage Li Shimin.

Wang Qinian's report shocked the entire court.

The Chang'an Criminal Arrest Division, the Criminal Department, and the Long Department jointly handled the case.

Thoroughly investigate this case of eighteen female corpses.

however.

Under the alliance of the three parties, no clues could be found.

At this time, someone in the court suggested that some matters should be investigated by a prince.

Many important officials in the court, represented by Changsun Wuji, suggested that King Li Kuan of Chu should investigate the case of eighteen female corpses.

And the secret supporter is Wei Wang Li Tai.

Since Li Tai killed Li Ke.

He has been secretly thinking of various ways to kill Li Kuan, the second brother.

Because currently in Datang, the prince who is qualified to compete with him for the crown prince will attract Li Kuan, the second elder brother.

however.

Just when he didn't know how to deal with Li Kuan.

God sent him such an opportunity.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who has been secretly supporting Li Zhi as the prince, of course cannot let go of this opportunity.

So Changsun Wuji and His Royal Highness Wu Wang reached some kind of shady agreement in private.

It was first proposed by Changsun Wuji above the court.

And then secretly supported by the people arranged by Li Tai.

As long as the two parties cooperate properly, the emperor is not afraid that they will not accept their suggestions.

then.

There is this letter.
