The honor guard entered the city, and before they had gone far, a woman in her thirties suddenly ran to the middle of the road, knelt on the ground, and blocked the way.

Seeing this, a burly tiger team led a swift step forward and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?"

Do you know who's in the way? ”

"Yes...... Your Majesty......" said the woman in a trembling voice.

"Knowing that it is His Majesty's honor guard, he dares to block it, and the crime is one more degree!"

As he spoke, the Tiger Ben team waved his hand forward and shouted, "Take it!" ”

"The women of the people have been wronged to repay the Son of Heaven! The women have a grievance...... "The two tiger soldiers grabbed the woman's arm and forcibly lifted her from the ground.

The woman's mouth was not idle, and she cried out again and again.

The guard of honor stopped suddenly, Liu Xiu in the car didn't know what was going on, and when he heard the commotion ahead, he lifted the curtain of the car window a little and said, "Zhang Kun!" ”

"The slave is here!"

Zhang Kun, who was in front of the carriage, came to the front at a trot and bowed down.

"What's going on up ahead?"

"Your Majesty, there seems to be a woman in front of you...... Blocking the road and shouting grievances. ”

Zhang Kun was also very far away, and he didn't see what was going on too clearly.

"Woman?

Shouting grievances? ”

Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Bring her over, I'll ask her personally!" ”

Before the woman was brought over by the tiger ben, Jingzhao Yin Zhang Chang came first, and when he approached the carriage, he bowed his hand and said, "Wechen greets Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu lifted the curtain of the carriage, got out of the carriage, glanced at Zhang Chang meaningfully, and said: "In Chang'an, someone actually shouted grievances in front of my honor guard!" ”

If you dare to stop the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, there must be a major grievance, and the people of Chang'an have grievances, as Jing Zhaoyin, they naturally have an unshirkable responsibility.

Zhang Chang's face was ugly, he bowed down, and did not answer.

It didn't take long for the two Tiger Ben soldiers to carry the woman over.

The woman's clothes were shabby, her hair was disheveled, and her face was dirty, and it was not clear what she looked like.

At this time, she cried so much that she cried a handful of snot and tears, and shouted injustice again and again.

Even if she didn't know Liu Xiu, she also knew the crown dress, and when she saw Liu Xiu standing next to the carriage, the woman cried and knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the people are wronged, Your Majesty wants to be the master of the people's women......" Zhang Chang frowned, bowed to Liu Xiu again, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter will be investigated by Weichen!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Chang and then at the woman, and always felt that this matter did not seem to be simple.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

After the people shouted grievances, Liu Xiu did not go back to the palace, sat back in the carriage, and went to Jingzhao Mansion.

When he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Xiu sat in the middle, Hua Feiyan sat beside him, and as for Jingzhao Yin and Zhang Chang, he could only sit below.

Soon, the woman walked into the lobby under the escort of the two tiger bens, and when she entered, she knelt on the ground with a puff, bowed forward, and cried: "Your Majesty, the women of the people have grievances!" ”

Liu Xiu said in a calm tone: "If you have any grievances, tell me in detail." ”

The woman sobbed for a while, and said in a trembling voice, "Please let your majesty release the little girl!" ”

"Huh?"

Her words stunned Liu Xiu.

He looked dazed, and turned his head to look at Hua Feiyan, who was also a monk of Zhang's second brother, and he was confused.

Zhang Chang on the side said in a deep voice: "Bold woman, in front of the Son of Heaven, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense, come and expel this bold woman from Jingzhao Mansion immediately!" ”

"Wait!"

Liu Xiu raised his hand and stopped the soldiers who were about to enter the lobby.

He looked at the woman and asked, "You say, I have taken your daughter?" ”

"Yes......" "When did I arrest your daughter?"

Liu Xiudu was almost angry.

The woman choked up and said, "Three days ago, the little girl disappeared at home! ”

Liu Xiu asked puzzledly, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

"In the past two months, more than a dozen women who have not left the cabinet have disappeared in Chang'an City."

Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes and asked word by word, "Do you think that these missing women are all related to me and were all taken away by me?" ”

The woman looked up, wiped the tears from her face, and whispered, "Yes...... It was raised by His Majesty and taken away by a tiger and leopard! ”

Liu Xiu was stunned when she heard this, and Hua Feiyan was also stunned, but soon, she reprimanded loudly: "What nonsense! ”

His Majesty brought back three fierce beasts to the palace, and later there was one more lion and became four fierce beasts, but these four fierce beasts were all locked up in Weiyang Palace, and it was impossible for them to sneak out, let alone take away those women.

"You have no mouth to cover and slander Your Majesty, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"

Zhang Chang was in a hurry, couldn't help but stand up, pointed at the woman, and said: "Li, I see that you are really in a hurry, and you actually slandered Your Majesty, come here, and quickly put the Li family in prison!" ”

Two soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion walked in, pulled Li up, and dragged him out.

Liu Xiu didn't stop this time, but looked at Zhang Chang, it seemed that Zhang Chang had already known about it.

After the woman was dragged away, Liu Xiu said quietly: "Zhang Jingzhao, let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

This is indeed a serial disappearance case, the missing are all young girls, from the first case, to now, more than two months.

In total, there are as many as sixteen missing girls.

In order to solve this serial disappearance case, Zhang Chang was very busy, but he couldn't find clues at all, and the clues found in the place where the crime was found couldn't be investigated at all, because it did involve Liu Xiu.

In these dozen or so disappearance cases, the scene of each case has the hair of wild beasts, some of which are black hair, and some of which are yellow hair, which is exactly the same as the black hair, big flower, and Ermao hair that Liu Xiu raised in Weiyang Palace.

If you follow this clue, then it is bound to be found on the Son of Heaven.

Recently, there have been such rumors in Chang'an City, saying that the tiger and leopard raised by His Majesty sneaked out of the palace and ran away.

Zhang Chang is Jing Zhaoyin after all, not a fool, he knows very well in his heart that this is impossible, His Majesty wants to feed a leopard and two tigers, it is too easy, as for starving leopards and tigers out of the palace to eat people?

If His Majesty is using leopards and tigers to go out of the palace to arrest girls, it would be even more nonsense, dignified son, what kind of woman do you want, do you still need to borrow these beasts to go out of the palace to arrest people?

But this rumor is intensifying, and in the end, the family members of the missing girl even really think that the disappearance of their daughter may be related to the Son of Heaven.

Now that things have come to this point, Zhang Chang can't hide it, so he can only tell Liu Xiu in detail about the truth of the matter.

After listening to Zhang Chang's story, Liu Xiu was furious and slapped the table slammed.

Zhang Chang's body was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt on his knees and kowtowed forward.

Liu Xiu asked: "When something like this happened in Chang'an, why didn't you report it earlier?" ”

Zhang Chang said in a trembling voice: "Back to Your Majesty, these rumors are all rumors to confuse the public, they are all nonsense, and they are ...... How can you defile Your Majesty's holy hearing? ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Hua Feiyan, and asked, "Does Feiyan know about this?" ”

Hua Feiyan shook his head slowly, indicating that he didn't know either.

First of all, the spread of this rumor is not wide, far from the point of making trouble in the city, and secondly, this rumor is unbelievable and ridiculous, and the people of Yunxi Pavilion did not take it too seriously, so they did not report it to Hua Feiyan.

Liu Xiu said quietly: "I have always regarded Yunxi Pavilion as my eyes and ears among the people, and now that such a big thing has happened in Chang'an, Yunxi Pavilion has no idea, which is too disappointing for me." ”

Liu Xiu has always praised Yunxi Pavilion, and this time he said such heavy words to Yunxi Pavilion, which made Hua Feiyan's face red, and he was really a little embarrassed.

She got up and said, "Your Majesty, Feiyan must investigate this matter clearly." ”

Liu Xiu also stood up and said, "Within three days, I want to know where those missing women are, and who kidnapped them?"

What is the real purpose of the thief? ”

As he spoke, he stepped out.

When he passed by Zhang Chang, he stopped and said, "Don't detain that Li family, let her go!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Chang really didn't want to detain her, the reason why he was in a hurry to let the Li family take her away was actually to protect her in a different direction.

is also a parent, and he knows very well how anxious his child is to disappear, how anxious he is as a parent, and Li's mood, he can fully empathize, but the object of Li's attack is the Son of Heaven, can Li afford to provoke it?

If you say the wrong thing in front of the Son of Heaven, your family may face ruin.

It is impossible for Hei Mao, Da Hua, Ermao and even the lion sent by Gui Shuang to sneak out of Weiyang Palace, for this, Liu Xiu can be 100% sure, and Hua Feiyan can also be 100% sure.

After Liu Xiu left, Hua Feiyan continued to stay in Jingzhao Mansion and talked with Zhang Chang in detail.

She needed to know the whole case in its entirety.

Zhang Chang didn't have any concealment in front of Hua Feiyan, took out the files one by one, put them in a big way, and explained to Hua Feiyan in detail.

The thieves were cunning, and no useful clues were found at the scene, the only clue was the remaining beast hair.

This even made Zhang Changdu think for a while that there were really beasts mixed in Chang'an City, but after investigation, nothing was found.

After listening to his story, Hua Feiyan frowned, feeling that this case was unusual.

She muttered: "Sixteen women, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, the place where they are hidden, it must not be a small place, Zhang Jingzhao, you have searched the entire Chang'an City?" ”

Zhang Chang smiled bitterly and said: "Flower beauty, it's really not a secret, Weichen has even checked the Qinglou, in Chang'an City, except for the palace, all the places have been checked, but ...... But still nothing! ”

That's magical! Hua Feiyan said to herself: "Where can the thieves hide those women? ”

As she spoke, her eyes flashed, and she asked, "Zhang Jingzhao, the palace hasn't been checked yet, has it?" ”

Zhang Chang's body trembled, the palace?

Is that where he can look?

Even if he is not afraid of death and dares to risk his life, he can't enter the palace! As if seeing what he was thinking, Hua Feiyan said: "Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, and Jianzhang Palace are all searched by me."

If there is no whereabouts of them in these palaces...... Zhang Chang answered: "Then Weichen can be sure that the missing woman is definitely not in Chang'an City." ”

Hua Feiyan asked, "During this time, Zhang Jingzhao didn't check the people who went out of the city?" ”

Zhang Chang smiled bitterly and said, "How could Weichen not investigate?

But all those who go out of the city, Weichen has checked them one by one. ”

Hua Feiyan asked curiously: "There is no one who has not been checked?" ”

Zhang Chang was about to pat his chest to pack the ticket, but a flash flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Of course, there are also people who have not been investigated, such as the King of Taiyuan, the Great Sima, the General Jianwei, the General Huya, etc., these ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, Weichen, Weichen really dare not investigate. ”

Hua Feiyan nodded, for these imperial relatives and ministers of the DPRK and the central government, not to mention that he didn't dare to check on a single Jing Zhaoyin, in the whole world, I'm afraid that except for Your Majesty, no one dares to check them.

She said with a straight face: "Zhang Jingzhao, you give me a list of people who have not been investigated, and I want it now." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Wechen writes now! ”

Zhang Chang, as Chang'an's parent official, is also eager to solve the case, and now that Hua Meiren is intervening in this case, of course he is fully cooperating.

He asked people to take pens, ink, and bamboo slips, and wrote down a long list of them.

Hua Feiyan waited patiently, and after half an hour, Zhang Chang finished the list.

He read it from beginning to end, thought about it carefully, and confirmed that there was nothing missing, so he respectfully handed it over to Hua Feiyan.
