Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

Chapter 782 23 Events in the Capital

The capital, the imperial palace.

As soon as Lu Yi entered the palace, he saw paintings all over the floor, and they were all landscape paintings.

But that pen...

It seems to be his daughter-in-law's style.

"Your Majesty is really interested, and you still have time to enjoy the paintings here." Lu Yi said, "Didn't you call me back to say that you have something urgent to discuss?"

"An important event happened in the capital recently." Fan Yuanxi said lightly, "You are so well informed, you should have heard of it, right?"

"I heard that babies have been missing for several days in a row, sometimes seven or eight in one night, and at least three, so far the number has accumulated to forty." Lu Yi said, "This is Dali Temple, As for the Department of Dark Law, even the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you just leave it to them to handle."

"I entrusted this case to Lord Lu." Fan Yuanxi said, "But this case is so weird, and Lord Lu is your son Lu, so I have to let you come back to sit in charge."

"I believe in Shaoyu's ability. No matter how vicious the black hands in the dark are, my son can handle it. Rather than calling me back to watch over this difficult case for him, it is better to let me go to Tongyang City to watch Look at my daughter-in-law who is being used thoroughly." When mentioning this matter, Lu Yi's eyes were not kind.

"It's hard work for those who are capable. Mrs. Lu is such a strange woman. It's too humiliating for you to trap her in the back house to be an ordinary woman. As the king of a country, I don't hesitate to give a city to you for the sake of the people of the world. As the minister's wife, Prime Minister Lu should be able to understand my good intentions."

"It's not your daughter-in-law who suffers, so of course you don't feel sorry for her." Lu Yi said.

Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Fan Yuanxi's face was not very good-looking.

Lu Yi looked at him: "I just heard that the empress had a miscarriage when I returned to the capital, so you haven't found out who is doing it?"

"You don't need to check, I guessed it." Fan Yuanxi said coldly, "King Xuan doesn't really think that all my pets are vegetarians, does he?"

His son can't live, and that son of King Xuan can't live either.

"It's been rumored that you did too many vicious things in the past few years, and now the retribution is on your own flesh and blood. Some people say that the reason why those babies disappeared is because you, the emperor, made the world intolerable, and it was a punishment for you." Lu Yi said, "It seems that the disappearance of the baby is a big conspiracy against you. If it continues to disappear, there will be more rumors to confuse people."

"So, I am in a hurry to call you back because I want you to help supervise this case. I believe in Mr. Xiao Lu's ability, but with you here, I feel more at ease."

"Okay, I see."

Lu Yi turned to leave, saw the landscape paintings on the ground, and said, "Is this my wife's painting?"

"This is the future Tongyang City." Fan Yuanxi looked at the paintings in front of him with admiring eyes. "There are fifty copies in total. Collect them all and put them together, which is what Tongyang City will look like in the future. You know that if you buy this set of paintings, How much silver did I spend?"

Having said that, Fan Yuanxi gritted his teeth angrily.

He wrote to Mu Siyu, asking her to send a complete picture of the future development of Tongyang City, but she opened her mouth like a lion.But fortunately, the people under him had winks and put together this series.

"The emperor is willing to spend this silver, which means it is worth the price."

Lu Yi took another look at the appearance of Tongyang City.

Fan Yuanxi's saying is correct, his wife is such a strange woman, she must not stay in the back house to waste time.There are so many people who need her in this world, and her existence is a gift from God.

Those dark, dirty, and insidious things are all left to him to deal with, and Madam just needs to be a little sun, warming herself and illuminating others.

Lu Yi went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and heard that Lu Shaoyu was interrogating the people who reported the clues.He didn't go to the interrogation hall to hear the trial, but waited for him to come back in the study.

An hour later, Lu Shaoyu came out of the interrogation hall.

"Master Xiao Lu, Master Lu is waiting for you in the study."

"My father is back?" Lu Shaoyu was surprised, "When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"

"I heard that he just came back." Yijian said beside him, "Originally, Xiangye Lu was going to Tongyang City, and the emperor was anxious to call him back. Eight horses ran to death along the way. exhausted."

"It should be because of this case." Lu Shaoyu understood, "Otherwise, my father should go to accompany my mother instead of rushing back to the capital."

Pushing the door open with a sword, after Lu Shaoyu entered, he closed the door again.

Lu Yi was looking at the record book of the case.

His eyes were black and blue, which reminded Lu Shaoyu of what Yi Jian said.

Yijian said that eight horses ran to death.Since even horses can't stand it, let alone Lu Yi, an ordinary person.If he hadn't insisted on exercising, he might have fallen one step ahead of the horse.

"Father is back, why don't you take a rest first?" Lu Shaoyu poured some tea, "I can take care of it myself here, and Daddy should take good care of himself."

"Let's talk about the baby case first!" Lu Yi said, "From your booklet, I have learned that among the missing babies, the oldest is only eight months old, and the youngest is just three days old."

"Yes."

"These babies are located in various places in the capital, some are inside the city, some are outside the city. They all have the same smell in the homes of the missing babies, should it be caused by smoke?"

"I have sent people to investigate the scene, and it is indeed the smell of smoke. But so far, I haven't found out what kind of smoke it is. The doctors are also experimenting, but they can't find any clues." Lu Shaoyu said, "Some of the families of the missing babies are ordinary people, some are rich, and there are several official families. Not to mention the common people and rich families. There are so many servants in the official family, and they will be stolen. But a watchman said I accidentally saw a woman walking on the street with a child in her arms. Since the new emperor came to the throne, there has been no curfew in our capital, so he didn't take it seriously."

"The watchman saw a suspicious person, so follow this clue and investigate."

"The watchman didn't see her clearly, but he could vaguely see that she was a woman in her early forties, tall and strong. I asked the artist to draw a portrait based on his description."

Lu Yi looked at the portrait Lu Shaoyu handed over: "This is a man."

Lu Shaoyu took a closer look, and in the portrait drawn based on the watchman's description, the man was wearing a turban covering half of his face, holding a child in a hurry.

"The watchman didn't see it clearly, he only described a rough height and shape, which may be wrong with what he saw. This will only be known when the murderer is caught. Another servant found a suspicious person. It's just that the person Holding a burden, she disguised herself as an old lady in the mansion, but something happened later, and that servant finally confessed the matter."
