The fifth day passed, and the dawn in the sky was not yet visible, and the slap of the Ministry of Justice was knocked on the door. A skinny man came, crying and shouting, as if he was named by the King of Hell. He had no way to ask for help from the Ministry of Justice.

This is even more important. Even if Situ Cheng is lazy, he has to get up early to prepare for court. He is stretching to prepare for changing clothes.

Then an urgent case was captured in the Shangshu Mansion...

Qixue Village is also a famous gambling house in Lizhou. Although most of the people gathered in it are mobs, they are usually not a person who is full of evil. Such a heavy and evil incident happened silently outside the capital, which was shocking enough.

It really set a good start for this year...

The fire almost destroyed all traces here, and people were burned beyond recognition. The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is no survivor here.

Situ Cheng has been the Minister of Justice for so many years and has done a good job. In the past two years, he has been so bad that he has been home. What he has smashed into his hands are actually scary cases, and it is still impossible to investigate. The previous things that are gods and ghosts can still be thrown out, but this time the arson case is really solid.

Seeing the coroner of the Ministry of Justice carrying a series of single-board white cloths, Situ Cheng's soul was almost gone. He stood under a willow tree that was unfortunately affected by the fire, and counted the number of corpses he had returned.

The location of Qixue Village is very coincidental. There is not even a ghost within a radius of ten miles, and there is no one in the house. The thief is sitting in this deep mountains and forests, pretending to be elegant but is full of smoke and smoky to attract those gamblers, and by the way, they take in those lonely passers-by who are shameless and swaying into the capital - so messy that it is almost a mess around the mud.

Yi Chenzhao heard Jun Han talk about this last night, so he rode his horse with Li Ying early in the morning. He was arranged with shocking white corpse cloth on a flat and dry grassland through Xu Chang. He glanced far away and realized the importance of this case.

"Brother Cheng!" Yi Chenzhe called him from a distance, and at the same time he had turned over and dismounted, tied the reins to the tree beside him and ran over.

Situ Cheng waved listlessly at Yi Chen and Li Ying.

Lord Shangshu was standing under the willow tree in front of the charred building. Although such spectacular corpses were already arranged on the flat ground behind him, the coroner of the Ministry of Justice was still busy running around with his mouth and nose covered, and his harvest continued, and they were all terrifying human bodies that were eroded unrecognizable by the flames.

At first glance, this looked like a fire caused by a mistake, but no one escaped. The villa is very big and it will take some time to completely burn it out. This period may not be enough to completely escape such a vast crowd, but at least it should be able to struggle a part of it.

Moreover, Situ Cheng was impressed by the first sight in the room - although the fire destroyed most of the traces, none of the people inside were running away or struggling. In the ruins of the broken beams, most of them were sitting safely.

Situ Cheng frowned and looked at the state of the entire building. "This building should not have been burned for a long time. Its general appearance is still there, but the things inside were destroyed."

"Sir, there is a discovery inside!" Suddenly a coroner shouted at Situ Cheng outside. If these terrifying human bodies are still there, they should not be called "discovery".

Hearing this, Situ Cheng was shocked, but he became more energetic. He raised his legs and passed by. Yi Chen chased him naturally followed him. He wanted Li Ying to stay outside, but he didn't expect that this girl was not afraid of the many dead people, and she didn't even feel disgusted at all. Before Yi Chen chased and spoke, she had already stepped into the ruined building first.

After the "discovery" in front of the building, there were many intact houses in the huge and difficult-to-burn courtyard of Qixue Village that had not been eroded by fire.

The parts burned by the fire have been basically cleaned up. At the order of Situ Cheng, everyone quickly began to search the houses, but none of them survived.

The people who died in these wing rooms were spared from the erosion of the fire, which also made Situ Cheng feel relieved.

This time, Lord Shangshu personally put on fine silk gloves and went in to check the situation, and Yi Chen Zhui also followed him in.

Situ Cheng checked the condition of the corpse in a rough manner. There was no blood on his body. There should be no obvious external injuries, but there was only a thin and shallow cut mark on his neck, but there was no blood.

After a brief check, Situ Cheng frowned and took off his gloves, "Move them all back."

"yes!"

——

In just half a day, the story of the snow village outside the city spread throughout the capital. When His Majesty learned about this, he hurriedly summoned all the six ministers, the prime minister and the marshal into the palace.

In fact, Your Majesty doesn’t know what the other five ministers are for this matter, except for the Minister of Justice and the two civil and military pillars who are capable of being "guardians".

Maybe it's easy to discuss if there are too many people...

"There are a total of 378 people in the village, and the fire damage is less than 60%. The dead who have not been eaten by the fire are suspected to have died of blood." Situ Cheng briefly summarized the current situation.

It's only half a day, and the clues have not been collected enough, so this is the only thing that can be reported.

The five ministers looked at each other for a while, and all remained silent.

The Prime Minister frowned and said nothing after hearing this. Jun Han glanced at the helpless and entangled look of the little emperor, and said, "Did they all die with blood?"

"Those who have never been burned by fire have died of blood, and the deceased who have been eroded by fire cannot determine the specific cause of death."

"Aren't it burned to death by fire?" the emperor said suspiciously.

"The deceased has a relaxed form and has not escaped. It is very likely that he had died long before the fire."

"Where is the wound of the dead?"

"There are three-inch thin mouths on the neck, there is no blood on the scene, and there is no inside the body."

This sounds creepy.

The civil officials present were all in a state of gasping for breath, but they all looked at the marshal at the same time.

Jun Han really didn't want to see those two pairs of eyes asking for help - why did he, a martial artist who fought for the court, always take on such a brain-burning and exhausting job?

"What do the marshal think about this matter?" even the emperor asked.

Jun Han had no choice but to answer: "There are indeed many evil techniques that require blood cues in the world, which are difficult to summarize. Moreover, this matter has not been investigated in depth, and more clues are needed."

The emperor thought about it after hearing this, and looked at the Prime Minister with a very confused and clueless look.

"As the Marshal said, there is no clue yet, so you should not make a conclusion."

As expected, the only words of the Prime Minister in the court can make His Majesty feel at ease the most.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and then said, "It is important to find out this matter within two months."

“…”

Everyone present looked at each other again. The Prime Minister's face darkened for a moment. Jun Han could only secretly sarcastically in his heart. It was hard for the Prime Minister to teach so hard that he didn't even know how to write the five words "hazard will not be achieved."

The rebellion of King Beiyan was a devastating blow to His Majesty. Although the fundamental reason was that the little emperor himself was too simple, the bloody books written by King Beiyan who was killed in prison afterwards were really too much.

To put it bluntly, the uncle and nephew are born at the wrong time, and the other is gentle and kind. When they meet, the latter can only be said to be lucky.

Jun Han drifted a little, but immediately withdrew his thoughts without hesitation.

"This matter may be related to evil magic and magic. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for the Ministry of Justice alone. The court originally lacked a department dedicated to dealing with monsters and ghosts. You might as well take this opportunity to add another order."

After struggling for so long, I actually forgot about this matter. I have long said that it is time to add a yamen specializing in dealing with evil spirits.

After hearing Jun Han's suggestion, His Majesty seemed to suddenly remember this. He immediately glanced at the ministers and asked, "Why are you guys who can take on this position?"

I'm afraid that only Yi Chenzhui, who was raised by the Marshal himself, had this qualification.

"I believe that Mr. Yi of the General's Mansion can take on this position." The Prime Minister openly offered Jun Han's precious son to him. His Majesty seemed to be happy when he heard Yi Chen's pursuit.

After all, it was Yi Chen who chased him out of the dead end, so it would be strange if he didn't like it.

When His Majesty heard this, he looked at Jun Han again in a blink of an eye, "What do you think of the marshal?"

In fact, Jun Han was still muttering in his heart - that kid hadn't been trained seriously yet, so he was a little anxious to start the ducks on the shelves now.

But when things were told, how could they be slow, so the marshal still responded without any hesitation: "But follow your Majesty's arrangement."

The young emperor was somewhat rigorous when he asked the Prime Minister for advice. Although he decided to push Yi Chen up immediately, he still asked the Minister of Personnel in a formal manner.

After being a background for a long time, the Minister of Personnel finally found some meaning of existence and bowed: "The process of opening an yamen to enthrone an official is complicated, but the case is urgent now. Your Majesty can first assign Yi Chen to pursue the guest official position and allow him to assist the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case. After the case is understood, then he will become an official based on his merits."

"Since my dear words."

In this way, Feng Yichen's imperial edict was sent to the general's mansion on the same day. Without any warning, he suddenly smashed it, and even asked Yichen to panic.

The father-in-law who was delivering the order left, and the marshal came back leisurely from the palace. The timing was good, and he happened to avoid the trouble of greeting him in front.

The imperial edict ordered Yi Chen to pursue the Auspicious Minister of Justice to investigate the case, but he was really at a loss.

As soon as Jun Han returned to his house, he happened to meet Uncle He and asked him to call Yi Chen and Liying into the study. He calmly changed his court uniform. When he arrived in front of the door, he suddenly remembered that a guy who was worthy of beating had taken his nest with two little quails, so he turned temporarily and got into Lianyin's room.

He pushed the door and entered the room silently, which shocked Lianyin. The white wolf cunned to borrow the convenience of occupying the magpie's nest for granted, and naturally regarded Lianyin's room as his own.
