Happy Little Scholar

Zeng Zijian saw Li Jianren again not as early as he expected.

Because Li Jianren is missing.

As a well-known dandy in Kyoto, it was nothing to stay out all night. It was common for him to hang out in a brothel at night, have fun all night long, and then go back at noon or afternoon the next day.

Especially after Li Jianren broke his leg and almost died, he completely gave up on himself and stayed away from home for several days, which was not unusual.

The Li family seemed to have completely given up on him and began to support another direct descendant who was not highly valued in the Li family before.

However, including Zeng Zijian, several dandies understood that Li Jianren did not go to find flowers and willows last night. More than a dozen killers dealt with two weak women, which should have been easy to capture. However, until noon the next day, not only did those people not have any According to the news, even Li Jianren has lost his trace, and things are a little unusual.

"Something's not right."

"Is something wrong with him?"

"What could happen to so many people? Can those two women kill all those people silently?"

…

In a certain restaurant, several dudes looked uncertain. Zeng Zijian said solemnly: "Go to Li's house!"

In the lobby of the county government office, Magistrate Liu's face didn't look good either.

Someone reported the case early in the morning. Last night, they were surrounded and killed by a group of people who suddenly appeared in a certain alley. Those people even used bows and arrows. Four of them were injured and are still lying in the hospital. With.

Kyoto is at the feet of the Emperor, and security is naturally the best in Panorama. Although some crimes cannot be avoided, this is the first time that such interceptions and killings have occurred since he took office.

More importantly, the case also involved two important people, which he had to treat with care.

"Have you found anything?" Magistrate Liu stood up and asked when he saw a police officer coming in from outside.

The detective raised his hands and said, "Sir, we are already tracking the blood stains left at the scene. I think we will have results soon."

Magistrate Liu frowned. This case was strange. According to the men, they could hardly hold on last night. A group of people suddenly appeared and rescued them. They were in a hurry to receive treatment. When my companions came back later, they discovered that the group of criminals and the reinforcements had disappeared at the same time.

What's even more bizarre is that they don't know who saved them...

Two gangs of people suddenly appeared and disappeared again. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange case after many years as an official.

A police officer came up and said, "Sir, a servant from Shilang Li's family came to report that their young master is missing."

"Which Minister Li?" Magistrate Liu raised his head and asked.

The catcher replied: "Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry."

"How long have you been missing?"

"Six hours."

Magistrate Liu waved his hand and said, "Let them go to all the brothels in Kyoto to search. If they still can't find anyone after thirty-six hours, they can report the case."

This group of dandies in Kyoto, missing for six hours is nothing. There was once a dandy among the dandies who stayed in a certain brothel for seven days and seven nights. The record he set has not been broken yet. Magistrate Liu said impatiently, Another detective said: "Let's go see how their investigation is going."

He took several police officers with him. As soon as he walked out of the county government office, a police officer hurried over in front of him. He looked up and saw Magistrate Liu and said with a pale face: "Sir, something big has happened!"

Magistrate Liu saw the frightened expression on his face, his heart skipped a beat, and his heart gradually sank.

…

…

"Sir, it's right in front."

Led by the police officer, Magistrate Liu led a group of police officers through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived in front of a house deep in the streets.

The detective turned pale, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Sir, we followed the traces all the way and finally found this place."

Magistrate Liu looked at him and asked, "Are those murderers here?"

"They're all inside." The catcher nodded and said.

Magistrate Liu nodded with satisfaction. He was increasingly satisfied with the recent work of these agents in the county government.

"The fifteen murderers, without exception, all had their bodies separated. One of them was stabbed through the heart by a sword. It seems to be Li Jianren, the son of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry." The policeman added.

"Who are you talking about?" Magistrate Liu turned around suddenly, looking at him in shock and asked.

The detective said with a pale face: "Sir, before you go in, you must be mentally prepared."

Magistrate Liu's expression changed drastically. He turned around and strode in. Several government officials followed quickly.

"vomit!"

The next moment, there was a burst of neat sounds in the courtyard.

Not long after, Magistrate Liu walked out of the courtyard with the support of two officers, holding on to the wall to stand firm.

"You guys stay here, protect the scene..." Forcing himself to forget the Shura field-like scene in the courtyard, he waved his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Right away, report to the Criminal Department immediately!"

Sixteen people died, and fifteen people were beheaded directly. Judging from their clothes, it should be the man who said that he was undoubtedly the one who attacked them last night.

However, what he didn't expect was that these people who were supposed to be villains died one by one at this moment. Although the pool of blood in the hospital had solidified, the pungent smell and cruel scenes still impacted all his senses.

More importantly, among the dead, there is also the son of Li Shilang, the Minister of Works.

The last time the son of the Minister of Rites was poisoned, His Majesty was furious and almost turned the whole capital upside down. This time, even the son of the Minister of Works was killed, and more than ten lives were involved. This is the most serious case that has happened in Kyoto in recent years!

What's more, the son of the Minister of Works, with a group of assassins, surrounded and killed two women. This is another major case involved.

You know, including the last time the son of the Minister of Rites was killed and the blame was put on Miss Zeng, the last night attack by the assassins, but there is still no conclusion...

No matter how you think about it, this matter is not something he can participate in.

It can be predicted that this time in the court, I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm.

I sent the yamen runners to report everywhere. When I walked back to the county government office, my feet were still a little weak. Just as I sat down on the chair, someone suddenly came to report that Li Shilang, the Minister of Works, was visiting.

The Minister of Works was only half a level higher than him. As the magistrate of the capital, he did not need to be too humble. However, at this moment, his expression was quite tangled, because he did not know how to tell the magistrate of the capital.

The yamen runner had just been sent out by him and should not have arrived at the Li family yet. In other words, the magistrate of Li should not know that his son and he were in two different worlds.

"Sir Liu." The middle-aged man came over and bowed to him.

Magistrate Liu had a complicated expression and replied, "Sir Li."

"My son did not return all night last night. I am really worried that something happened to him. I am afraid I will have to trouble Sir Liu this time."

The middle-aged man looked at the magistrate of the capital, who was not very familiar with him. At this moment, he had learned about the incident from Zeng Zijian and others, and his heart was lifted. Naturally, he would not regard his son's absence all night as a brothel.

After learning that Sir Liu did not take this matter seriously, he hurried over immediately.

County Magistrate Liu sighed and said, "To be honest with you, Lord Li, we have found your son."

"Where is he?" The middle-aged man showed joy on his face.
