Yuan Yao walked into the room waving his fan, and first looked around the room.The furnishings in Wang Feiran's house are elegant, and if you look closely, they are all common items, not like some officials.Yuan Yao once saw the house of a junior official of the seventh rank, and the luxury inside made him speechless. Even his crown prince's East Palace couldn't match the extravagance of this junior official's house.Wang Feiran, it seems that he wants to leave for a longer time.

"I heard that people often go missing when you come to Beijing?" Yuan Yao asked.Wang Feiran looked serious, and replied: "Yes. When I come here, family members of senior officials in Beijing often go missing."

Missing again, last time in Yanzhou, this time unexpectedly arrived in the capital.Yuan Yao was worried, but didn't show it on his face, and asked, "Have you ever found it?"

Wang Feiran sighed, and said, "No, even the clothes of the dead body? They were never found, as if those people just disappeared out of thin air?"

Is this the case again? But Yanzhou could still find the corpse at that time. This capital is different from Yanzhou? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, few people dare to talk about the Dragon King.

Nowadays, there is no way to check it? Ah.Yuan Yao could only choose to check the case file.On the second day, Yuan Yao followed Wang Feiran to the Archives Department.

Wang Feiran smiled and introduced Yuan Yao to his colleagues: "This is my nephew. He just came from his hometown yesterday. He has a stubborn personality since he was a child. He was spoiled by my younger brother. Doesn't this make you want to be with me? Are you looking at the file?"

His colleague, Mr. Li, was always serious, and said: "Isn't everyone able to read this file? Master Wang brought his nephew to read the file. Sir, you should think about it."

Yuan Yao laughed, took out a jade pendant from his bosom with a smile, and showed Master Li a look. Although Master Li still frowned, he didn't say anything else.

The dossiers of the Archives Department were vast, and Yuan Yao and Wang Feiran only looked at the outermost ones.Open the book, and it says: On September [-]th, Liang An, the third daughter of Yin Liang Huashu of Jingzhao Mansion, disappeared from her home.Open another book: On September [-]th, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was the first child, and the daughter Wen Xian disappeared in front of the powder shop.Opening in a row? Several files, all the same.The missing ones are all the concubines, sons and daughters of high officials in the court. Those who are favored or not are not valued.Rao is also a great provocation to the capital.

Yuan Yao opened another dossier, first opened it? Yuan Yao exclaimed, this dossier was pressed at the bottom of the stack, and the pages were yellowed, obviously it was time.The dossier records the massacre of the Xuan family in the capital. There were 31 members of the Xuan family, and only Xuan Zhiyuan, his wife, and their two children were removed from the servants. However, only Xuan Zhiyuan, his wife, and their daughter were found in the subsequent work. , the young master of the Xuan family disappeared.

Xuan Zhiyuan had amazed the capital 30 years ago, and now the Holy Majesty has introduced him as a confidant.He is like a firework? He is amazed in an instant and disappears in an instant.Yuan Yao subconsciously felt that there was definitely something hidden about the Xuan family's massacre.Secretly suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yuan Yao continued to search the file.

It was already the second day when the two of them got out of the files. Although the culprits did not commit many crimes, only a dozen or so, the people who wrote the files were too slack, as if they didn’t have enough paper? Only a few notes were recorded in one case , Yuan Yao and the two of them peeled off the cocoon and pondered it according to the sentence. It was a day and a night.The two left the gate of the archives department, looked at each other's dark eyes, and looked at each other speechlessly.Yuan Yao and Wang Feiran went back to the mansion, took away Wang Feiran's lord, and went to talk with Zhou Gong. Wang Feiran was not married yet, so after the two fell asleep, the mansion was very clean.

When Yuan Yao got well enough to regain his energy, he mysteriously touched the study room and grabbed Wang Feiran who was laying on the floor from the warm quilt. Looking at Wang Feiran who was so angry that he dared not speak, he felt good. laugh.

He squatted next to Wang Feiran, watching Wang Feiran hurriedly put on clothes: "Master Wang, it's time for us to handle the case."

Wang Feiran has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone say such heartbreaking words with such a sunny smile on his face. You must know that he reversed the interpersonal relationship of the missing victim overnight because of this uncle. Not long after playing, he was picked up by this old man again.Hey, the one who gave the salary? It's the uncle, who made this father his immediate boss.No matter how reluctant Wang Feiran was, he still had to afford it. He accompanied the prince to investigate the case.

Yuan Yao fumbled on him and took out a file. Wang Feiran's eyes widened and his heart beat faster.This dossier needs to be taken out in official documents. Why did this person take it out so clearly.Yuan Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, no?"

How dare Wang Feiran say no, this is the old man, no matter how dissatisfied he can only hold back, hey, it's just a pain for his old bones, and he still has to clean up the mess for this ancestor.

The dossier in Yuan Yao's hand belonged to the missing son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. I heard that the son was recognized not long ago, okay? He was kidnapped in a few days, which sounds pitiful.This person has a simple network. Compared with the other officials in the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites is not so high, so it is not so complicated to check.

Li Juming, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was notoriously poor. His house was so far away from the palace that it was not 01:30. Yuan Yao and his wife took a carriage to a nearby alley and got off and walked over.When the carriage passed Mr. Xu's house, Yuan Yao had mixed feelings. After Xu Cen left, Mrs. Xu fell ill. He has been recuperating at home these days.

Li Juming is good? The beauty of wine and wine, all the monthly salary is given to Qinlou and Chuguan. Even Yuan Yao has heard of his romantic reputation.I heard that the unlucky guy who recognized and was tied up not long ago was a windfall of Mr. Li.Romance?Although Yuan Yao is the crown prince, he has been in and out all year round, and not many people remember his appearance.Therefore, it is very convenient for Yuan Yao to come out to investigate the case.

Yuan Yao did not know where to find a set of government servant's clothes and put it on his body, a long sword was pinned to his waist, and a waist card was hung, which is somewhat interesting.

Wang Feiran wanted to knock on the door but was stopped by Yuan Yao, who said softly, "I'll come."

Who knew that the gate of Li's Mansion was ajar, and Yuan Yao opened it with a creak as soon as he pushed it.

The furnishings in Li's mansion are completely different from the other mansions Yuan Yao has seen. If you have to find a word to describe the depression there, the weeds on the walls are growing well, and the flowers in the courtyard are wilting and unique. It is the scenery of the wilderness.If it wasn't for the small path among the weeds, Yuan Yao would have suspected that the house had been abandoned for a long time.

Along the path, Yuan Yao and the two came to the outside of the bedroom.Is the bedroom door locked? Yuan Yao knocked on the door, and there was a rustling sound from inside. It took a long time for the door to open. A middle-aged man poked his head out from inside.The man inside the door was disheveled, his middle coat was loose, and the gown on his shoulders was tilted to one side, and it was about to fall. : "Who is it?"

Yuan Yao took a step forward to grab the crack of the door, and showed him the waist card from the crack of the door. When the man saw the waist card, he suddenly became sober, and hurriedly wanted to close the door, but Yuan Yao took a step ahead of him, and firmly held the door with both hands. hold the door open the door?Yuan Yao laughed: "Hey, Mr. Li, there is no way to treat guests like you. This guest doesn't even have a sip of tea? You didn't drink it. Are you seeing off the guest?"

Li Juming had no choice but to step back and ask the two of them to come in. The gauze curtain on the bed was half-covered and half-covered, revealing a female silhouette.

Wang Feiran bowed his hands to Li Juming, and said: "Dali Temple handles the case, please take care of Master Li." Li Juming looked at the waist card and sighed in his heart, sighing that he was not lucky? He did something wrong, where did he provoke it? Oh, these two big Buddhas.

Li Juming poured a cup of tea for each of them. The color of the tea soup was cloudy, and it was not a good thing at first glance? Tea leaves.Yuan Yao joked: "I don't know that Mr. Li is so poor."

Li Juming blushed and smiled.After thinking about it, I know, beauties, fine wine, which one doesn't cost money?Li Juming's salary, after deducting these expenses, the rest can be used by the family to eat and drink.This is why the Li family has no servants.

After exchanging pleasantries, it's time to talk about business.Yuan Yao put the badge on the table, and cut straight to the point: "I heard that something happened to Mr. Li's family recently?"

Li Juming was obsequious, and seemed to have some unspeakable secrets.Yuan Yao picked up the waist card and put it in his hand, and "accidentally" dropped it on the table. The waist card made a sound when it touched the table. Li Juming trembled three times in fright, and hurriedly said: "You Don't, I say it's not enough! Hey, this is all? It's a family ugliness, a family ugliness! My son who didn't live up to expectations, just came back a few days and fell into old problems. His mother doesn't know how to teach him? The one who raised him, little I have become addicted to stealing because of my age, and I still don’t know the rabbit in the fence outside. After a few days after I got home, I started to take the money out of the house. Hey, I have no choice but to give him money to send him away? Let's go. Who knew that this little bastard was so lacking in heart that he could make every inch of his way. Last time he came to ask for money again. I couldn't do anything about him when I was old, so I found two helpers to drive him away. Who knew, this little bastard Even these two people were defeated, and they were beaten to death with random sticks. I was afraid that something might happen, and it just so happens that family members of officials often disappear. Okay? Get out of this prison."

"Hey, confused!" Wang Feiran sighed, picked up the cup on the table and knocked it off the table, the water in the cup spilled out, a muffled sound startled Li Juming.

Yuan Yao picked up the badge on the table, turned and left.Wang Feiran glared at Li Siming, turned around and followed, and only after leaving the gate of Li's house did he ask in a low voice: "Your Highness, how is this matter?"

Yuan Yao was pinning the badge back to his waist, and said: "Don't care about the truth of what he said, and arrest him first, this man can kill his own parents and children with a cane, the method is astounding, and this murder is comparable to Reporting a false report to an official is heavy and punishing multiple crimes, and his official position cannot save him. He is willing to admit the crime himself, presumably there is a deeper secret that we don't want us to know. Detain him first."

When Li Siming saw the two of them again, he would be in prison.Li Siming leaned on the railing of the prison door and looked at Wang Feiran outside the door, saying: "My lord, I am innocent, I am not the one who hit this person, why did you arrest me!"

Wang Feiran looked at him coldly, and said: "Are you really stupid or fake? You are the master? The culprit, if you don't arrest, who will you arrest?"

Yuan Yao squatted outside the cell door, and looked at Li Juming at the same level: "Tell me, where is your son buried?"

Li Juming leaned forward and whispered an address in Yuan Yao's ear.Then he said: "My lord, do you want to return my innocence? Well, I was really wronged."

Yuan Yao turned and left, Wang Feiran spat at Li Juming, and followed.
