Chapter 565: Rice buckets are not good at handling cases

The Grand Court of Justice indeed took over the serial murder case.

On the second night after taking over the case, a basin after basin of chicken blood was splashed at the home of a certain censor.

Imagine waking up at dawn, opening the door, and seeing a courtyard full of fresh blood; it was no different from a horror movie, scaring several maids and servants into fainting on the spot. The censor himself was even more furious to the point of being ferocious.

If they can splash blood today, they can come to kill tomorrow.

This case alarmed the palace, and the Grand Court of Justice was specially ordered to investigate.

The Grand Court of Justice was very angry.

This is a provocation, a naked provocation, and it must not be tolerated.

Therefore, the Grand Court of Justice requested an imperial decree from the palace: martial law!

The time is from every evening until six or seven o'clock the next morning. Anyone without a yamen order, whether good or cheap, will be arrested.

"Absurd!"

Mu Qingshan, as a scholar, was very angry about this martial law order. Scholars often go to the brothels to listen to music together and hang out until midnight before going home.

Recently, he had money, and this hobby was picked up again. He was just planning to invite three or five friends to go to the brothel to drink when he encountered the martial law order, and he was so angry that he cursed in front of Chen Guanlou.

"The Grand Court of Justice has no ability to investigate the case, but they are good at rectifying people. If they can't find out, they should just say so; they are so shameless as to enter the palace and request a martial law order. It's absurd to the extreme. What's even more absurd is that the Emperor actually agreed. Sir, what do you think of this?"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyelids, "What else can I think? Of course, I'll sit and watch. A bunch of waste, delaying this official from drinking."

Once the martial law order is issued, the brothels will definitely take the opportunity to close down to avoid provoking official trouble. Only the top-level brothels will operate as usual.

Chen Guanlou doesn't like going to the top-level brothels; he dislikes the heavy official air inside. Walking in, there is an official every three steps and a noble son every five steps. He is a small person, and it's tiring to stay inside. He likes to go to mid-to-high-end brothels; the quality of the girls is not inferior to the highest-end ones, and the key is that the official air is not heavy, but the wealth air is very heavy.

He just likes wealth air.

The more wealth air, the better.

"The student is as angry as you, sir. The Grand Court of Justice is a bunch of waste, delaying everyone's proper business. If this case fell into the hands of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice would definitely not handle it like this."

"That's for sure. The Ministry of Justice is a professional institution; it can investigate cases in the officialdom and can also investigate cases among the people. The Grand Court of Justice is different; it has always only investigated cases in the officialdom. This time, taking over the serial murder case, it will definitely make a mess and lose face."

"Sir doesn't think highly of the Grand Court of Justice investigating the case."

"A bunch of official masters, investigating a fart of a case. They have been high above for too long and have already forgotten what the folk and rivers and lakes are really like. Don't think that because they are close, they can see the fireworks of the human world by stepping out of the yamen. In fact, that is an uncrossable chasm."

Chen Guanlou has no hope for the Grand Court of Justice investigating the case. This serial murder case has too few common points and needs to be peeled and cocooned; it requires both sufficient patience and excellent comprehension. Relying solely on conventional and rigid investigation methods is fine for dealing with ordinary people, but it is probably not enough for serial cases.

In fact, he is more interested in the censor's home being splashed with chicken blood.

Who is it, being so disgusting? And it happened on the second day after the Grand Court of Justice took over the serial case.

"Sigh, for the next few days, I can only behave myself. If I want to drink, I can only go home and drink."

Chen Guanlou sighed.

He drank wine at home for two days, which was tasteless, and decisively returned to the Heavenly Prison.

It's still this place in the Heavenly Prison that is good, with many people and liveliness.

As a result, it was terrible; the prison cells of the Heavenly Prison were almost full.

"What's going on?"

"Did you forget, my lord?" Xiao Jin asked cautiously: "Martial law is outside; during martial law, everyone, good or cheap, will be arrested. In the past two days, the prison cells everywhere have been full of people, and they have to be released after confirming their identities one by one. The major prison cells in the capital are all full of people, and they can't be locked, so they temporarily borrowed our Heavenly Prison's territory to lock people up. The small one sent someone to report to you, my lord, at the first time, and you said that being convenient to others is being convenient to oneself. So, the small one locked people in."

"Oh, I remember. I was drunk from drinking these two days and almost forgot about this."

The prison cells were almost full, so Chen Guanlou went down to the prison to patrol and see the situation. They were all ordinary people, and some were traveling merchants.

Anyone with a background or background was released on the spot and could not be locked into the prison cells.

The so-called yamen order is just a fart.

It's really creating evil!

Chen Guanlou became more and more dissatisfied with the Grand Court of Justice, making the whole capital restless by handling a case. The key is that, so far, it seems there has been no major progress.

He patrolled to the C-grade yamen.

Suddenly he made an "Eh" sound.

"Why is there a child?"

A child of about seven or eight years old, with a waxy yellow face, was huddled in the arms of a middle-aged man.

Lu Datou looked at it and hurriedly said: "Locked in last night; there was no time to ask about the specific situation. Hey, what's your name, where are you from? Where were you caught last night? Don't you know that you are not allowed to go out during martial law?"

The middle-aged man seemed a bit dazed, and after coming back to his senses, he shook his head slowly, "I just arrived in the capital and didn't know the capital was under martial law; I was caught at the entrance of Baoping Lane last night. My son and I are from Xizhou, and we came to the capital to find relatives and seek medical treatment. My surname is Shen, and my name is Buzhi. This is my son."

"You came to the capital to seek medical treatment for your son?" Chen Guanlou looked at the child in his arms.

Shen Buzhi nodded, "Exactly."

"Xizhou is very far; it must be thousands of miles away."

"There are four or five thousand miles."

"So far." Lu Datou sighed, looking at the lord and then at the child, how did they walk here? Lu Datou dared not imagine; if it were him, he was afraid he would die before reaching Xizhou.

"Xizhou is a barren land; I heard that many prisoners are exiled to Xizhou." Chen Guanlou said casually.

"Indeed." Shen Buzhi nodded, his face calm.

"Is Brother Shen a scholar?" Chen Guanlou asked particularly politely.

Shen Buzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I have read books for a few days."

"Seeking relatives and medical treatment, your child looks very ill. Did you find your relatives? Do you need help?"

"Thank you, my lord. The relatives... found them. Their family is also difficult." Shen Buzhi's tone was clearly filled with hesitation, disappointment, anger, and regret.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly; there is an inside story here.

But he didn't ask more, but asked about the child seeking medical treatment.

"Which physician are you looking for?"

"Physician Liao of the Taiyi Academy."

"Him! Give up. Physician Liao won't see a doctor for people without a background. However, you don't have to be disappointed. We have a medical official here, from a family of medicine, and his medical skills are only high and not low. If you don't object, I will ask the medical official to take a look at your child."

When Shen Buzhi was talking before, his head was always slightly lowered. Hearing that there was a doctor, he suddenly raised his head, "Really?"

"What good would it do me to lie to you? Someone, go and invite Physician Mu. Tell him it's time to show his extraordinary medical skills."

Running four or five thousand miles to the capital to seek medical treatment, the child must be very ill. It must be a famous doctor with superb medical skills to cure the disease. ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
