Some time ago, I finally found traces of one of the thieves, but he accidentally escaped with his superb martial arts.

After that, no matter how many investigations the Imperial Guards conducted, they never found any traces. It would be a fool's errand to catch him within this month, unless something happened during this period.

Moreover, it is almost impossible for the thieves who assassinated the prince and the thieves who killed Sima Zhong's son to be the same group. After all, there is nothing that can connect the prince and Sima Zhong's son together.

In other words, within this month, he will catch the thief who assassinated the prince and the thief who assassinated Sima An respectively.

Emperor Yongxing didn't know, and no matter what difficulties Lingle had, he turned his attention to Zhou Tan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and said: "Zhou Aiqing, this matter will also be handed over to your Ministry of Punishment for investigation. You must cooperate with me.

The guards will find out what happened!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhou Tan arched his hands.

......

Regarding the murder of Sima An, the Ministry of Punishment immediately launched an investigation.

Soon, Detective Zhou, the Minister of Punishment, discovered some clues: Zhao Ran and Han Wu, who usually followed Sima An, disappeared for unknown reasons.

His intuition from handling many cases in the Criminal Department for many years told him that there was a high probability that the disappearance of these two people was related to Sima An's death.

Therefore, based on this clue, Zhou Tan launched a series of investigations.

After unremitting efforts and not sparing any detail, Zhou Tan finally set his sights on a certain person.

Looking at the information placed in front of him, Zhou Tan murmured to himself: "Li Sanshui..."

Zhefu.

On this day, the bun-faced maid asked her maid Xiuhe to go to the market to buy the necessary items. When the two maids walked to the gate of Zhefu while chatting and laughing, they saw the housekeeper Xu Guanjia of Zhefu talking with several people.

The yamen servant was saying something by the gate.

The bun-faced maid and Xiu He looked at each other in confusion. Out of curiosity, the two little maids came over.

Among them, the maid with a bun face asked curiously towards Butler Xu: "Uncle Xu, what happened? Why would a county official come to our place?"

"Myolie, these officials are not from the county government, they are affiliated with the Ministry of Punishment."

Butler Xu first corrected the bun-faced maid's mistake, and then explained the purpose of these detectives: "These officials are here to see Mr. Li Sanshui."

"Ah? Are you here to see Mr. Li? Did Mr. Li commit something?"

When she heard that it was related to Li Miao, the bun-faced maid suddenly became nervous.

The yamen officer on the side explained: "Miss, Li Sanshui was involved in a murder case. Lord Shangshu asked me to come and take Li Sanshui back to the Criminal Department."

The reason why he is so polite is that this is Zhefu. If he were somewhere else, he would not explain so much to a maid and would just go and get someone.

"Homicide?"

The bun-faced maid covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief: "This is impossible. How could Mr. Li be related to the murder case?"

......

"Master Li! Master Li!"

Li Miao, who was cooking lunch in the small kitchen, suddenly heard the anxious voice of the bun-faced maid.

Li Miao couldn't help but was startled. She stopped what she was doing and walked out of the kitchen. She saw the steamed bun-faced maid leading the way. Behind her were Butler Xu, Zhe Xinyi's other personal maid Xiu He, and the other maid Xiu He.

There are several government officials.

Li Miao's pupils shrank slightly, and he had roughly realized something.

Then, he went up to meet the bun-faced maid and said confusedly: "Miss Xing'er, what is going on?"

The bun-faced maid said anxiously: "Master Li, these government officials said that you are involved in a murder case and they want to take you to the Criminal Department."

"What?"

Li Miao looked extremely surprised and said: "Why am I suddenly involved in a murder case for no reason? Did I make a mistake during this time?"

"Yes! Did I make a mistake?"

The bun-faced maid hurriedly agreed, then turned to talk to the Yamen servant: "Brother Yamen servant, look at Mr. Li who is so thin, even I may not be able to defeat him, and he cannot possibly kill someone."

Li Miao: "..."

I said, little maid, I know you are saying this for my own good, but with your strength you may not be as strong as a goose, are you sure you don’t think too highly of yourself or underestimate me?

"Cough cough cough..."

The catcher coughed a few times and said, "I don't know whether there was a mistake or not. This is a matter decided by Lord Shangshu. Li Sanshui, Li Sanshui, please come with me and don't put me in trouble."

Li Miao nodded slightly.

Such cooperation made the head catcher breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master Li..."

The bun-faced maid looked worried.

Seeing this, Li Miao comforted him: "Don't worry, there must be some misunderstanding between us. I just need to go to the Ministry of Justice and explain the matter clearly, and nothing will happen."

Lin Dai'er, who was hiding in the room, looked at Li Miao's back being taken away by several government officials through the small crack in the door. Her eyebrows could not help but frown. Before she could decide what action to take, it was...

She saw Li Miao secretly making a gesture to her from behind, which roughly meant: Don't worry, don't be impatient, I know what I'm doing.

Lin Daier curled her lips, this man is really self-righteous, who is worried about him?
