Chapter 400 Contacting That Person
Chen Yi thought about it and realized that he had directly upgraded himself to two levels. This was really courageous.

He thought it must be this person, and this person's abnormality must be related to the missing Shang Lanzhi.

"Did he say why?"

Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded and said affirmatively: "I said it, the late emperor wanted to know very much. How could he not say it, but he didn't make it clear. He just said that he wanted to find his benefactor, who was a woman. He refused to disclose anything else. And he said he had to find it by himself."

Chen Yi was a little strange and couldn't figure it out.

If Shang Lanzhi is really the daughter of this official, shouldn't he report it directly to the government as soon as his daughter disappears and help find someone?
How can you think of looking for it by yourself? This is too strange!
"He didn't specify who he was found or who he was? What happened next?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice recalled: "Later, I retired from the court. Although everyone was curious, the man's mouth was tight. When asked, he just said that it was inconvenient to disclose things. After all, they are all old men. , it’s over.”

"However, the first emperor recruited him into the palace later, and after he came out, he agreed to the request of the minister of the Ministry of Industry and dropped him to the Ministry of Punishment. This man was later brought down by the Ministry of Punishment. Now he has been promoted. He was promoted to doctor."

Just when Chen Yi was thinking about whether it was this person, he heard the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice continue to say: "Actually, when you said that the daughter raised in his hometown disappeared, I understood why he didn't directly say it back then!"

Chen Yi immediately looked at the Minister of Punishment with a curious look on his face.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice smiled and pointed at Chen Yi: "You can tell at a glance that you are still inexperienced and lacking in this aspect. Think about it, how important is a woman's reputation, how can it be publicized like this? And I guess This one owes something to his daughter."

When Minister of the Ministry of Justice said this, Chen Yihuang was enlightened.

Yes, how could he forget, this is not in modern times, in modern society, the first reaction of missing people is to call the police.

Of course, there are also some economically backward places where a woman will conceal her disappearance for fear of losing her reputation.

Therefore, in ancient times, women were even more harsh. Shang Lanzhi was raised in her hometown in the countryside and did not live with her parents, so she followed her father to the most prosperous place in the imperial capital.

This noble girl was already far behind, and with the innocent disappearance, who knew what would happen?
But it's a bit strange to investigate on my own. Why should I give up my future just because of this?

Directly downgrade yourself by two levels?
Chen Yi couldn't understand the thoughts of this official named Shang.

If he couldn't understand it, he put it aside, and Chen Yi asked again: "Where is this person now? Let's just go and check to see if it's all right? Please recommend it to adults."

Who knew that Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry waved his hand, shook his head and said: "This person is not in the imperial capital now, because a few days ago, didn't you uncover the case of murdering an official? Could there be another murderer? So he went out to investigate and review these cases, and there is no one yet. return."

Chen Yi was choked, and it had something to do with him, I said helplessly.

"Isn't this easy to handle? Didn't I bring back a booklet at the same time? It has the time of each crime committed by this hero of Heaven's Punishment. Compare this and filter it. You can also ask directly. The rest are naturally done by other people." .”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice nodded and said with a sigh.

"I know this too, but now Your Majesty hasn't said to deal with this matter. It won't be adjourned for a later trial, so we didn't dare to touch the things you brought back, and we just waited for His Majesty to speak."

Chen Yi touched his chin. This was a problem, but since he couldn't come back, it wasn't like there was no way to contact him.

Besides, Shang Lanzhi is still with the county magistrate, and it will take some time to get to the imperial capital.

"Your Excellency, I don't know if there is any way to contact the person. I will write a letter and ask directly. If it is not, it will not delay us to continue looking for other targets."

This time the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was very happy: "Okay, people can be contacted. I will use the letter transmission route of our Ministry of Criminal Affairs. After you write the letter, just send it to me directly. I will send someone to deliver it."

Chen Yi said gratefully: "Thank you very much, sir. I will serve you tea instead of wine and give you a toast."

After speaking, Chen Yi drank the tea directly.

Shangshu Xingbu also finished the tea in the cup.

"You are being too polite. Besides, this matter is not a trivial matter. Now that you know it, you can help if you can. After all, this person is also from our criminal department. You don't know, this person has basically been tortured in a bad way in the past few years. See It's pretty pathetic."

"By the way, do you have any thoughts about the Xuanluo Kingdom this time? This Xuanluo Kingdom is simply too irritating to be so arrogant. I don't know if you have a good plan?"

The Minister of Justice looked at Chen Yi with interest, and the Minister of Industry also joined in the fun.

"Yes, we can't compromise this time no matter what."

Chen Yi tapped the table with his hand, and said: "I haven't made up my mind yet, His Majesty has already expressed his attitude clearly, then we just need to let Xuanluo know that we are not afraid of going to war again, this is true We need to make a careful calculation."

"Okay, come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk about what you saw on the road."

……

When Chen Yi went back, it was already dark.

After meeting Uncle Cao and Fang Xuan, he went back to his study and started writing letters.

This letter was intended for the official named Shang from the Ministry of Justice. Chen Yi did not expect that he would accidentally find this very suitable person.

If he hadn't invited the Minister of Justice together, he might have missed it, and we don't know when it will be found out.

After writing it, Chen Yi planned to hand it over to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow morning.

As for how to deal with the envoys of Xuanluo Kingdom, Chen Yi naturally thought of other ways.

So the next day in the morning court, the empress asked Chen Yi how to solve it, and Chen Yi directly presented the memorial he wrote last night to the empress.

Chen Yi explained directly in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Xuanluo Kingdom is so arrogant this time because we think that our Dawu Kingdom is not strong enough, because we can win with the help of the troops of Daliao Kingdom. If this is the case, then we can show Xuanluo Kingdom Just let us know how strong our troops are."

The empress couldn't believe it: "Is it that simple?"

Chen Yi nodded affirmatively, and made progress.

"There is no need to launch another campaign, just conduct an exercise mission on the border."

This is the first time the empress and other ministers have heard of this statement.

"Exercise? What is that? How to do it?" The empress didn't know what it was, and looked at Chen Yi with a frown on her face.
