As soon as the bell rang, the Meridian Gate opened wide, and hundreds of officials entered one after another. Ye Yun followed the ministers across the Jinshui Bridge and arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Not long after, Ye Yun heard a familiar drake voice: "Kneel down!"

Then, all the civil and military officials moved in unison, raised their robes, knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

Ye Yun mingled among the crowd, kneeling down and kowtowing as he did.

"Everyone loves you Pingsheng!" Yu Wenyong said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" all the officials said in unison.

After saying that, they all stood up and stood on the same spot, folding their hands in front of their chests and not squinting.

Yu Wenyong was sitting on the dragon throne, his deep eyes looking back and forth among the officials. Finally, he saw Ye Yun, who was wearing Dali Temple court clothes, nodding his head close to the palace door, and suddenly felt a little funny.

As if he was afraid that the officials would notice something strange about him, his eyes lingered on Ye Yun for a moment and then turned to other places. Yu Wenyong said: "Who among all the dear friends can tell me?"

"Returning to the Emperor, I have this report."

In a daze, Ye Yun seemed to see a figure moving in the front row, and then she heard Yu Wenyong say, "Deng Aiqing, please speak. As for the next thing... I can only ask Duke Zhou."

When she woke up from her drowsiness, she happened to catch up with the ministers retreating from the court to salute. After the ministers saluted, Ye Yun stood there and stretched his body. Just as he was about to walk out of the palace, he was called from behind: "

Princess, please be slow."

Ye Yun turned around and saw that it was Ji's father and son. He immediately smiled and said: "Master Ji, Ji Shaoqing, if you work under Master Ji in the future, you will inevitably cause trouble to me. Please don't mind me too much."

"The eldest princess is in serious condition. It is a great honor for me to have the eldest princess come to Dali Temple to help!" Ji Liang said.

"I am very pleased to be able to help you, sir."

"The eldest princess said so, so the old minister is not polite. There is indeed a difficult case that needs to be dealt with right now. The whole case has to wait until we return to Dali Temple. The old minister is going to talk to the eldest princess in detail." Speaking of the case, Ji Liang's face was filled with tears.

A touch of solemnity.

"Without further delay, we will head to Dali Temple immediately."

"Elder princess, please!" After saying this, the three of them rushed to Dali Temple.

Seeing Dali Temple again, Ye Yun's mood was inevitably a little complicated. After all, she spent her first night in the prison of Dali Temple.

At the entrance of Dali Temple, Ji Zizhen saw her staring at the plaque in a daze, and asked with some confusion: "What is the princess thinking?"

Ye Yun smiled and said: "Nothing, let's go."

As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw a hurried expression coming from the front of the temple: "Something happened to Mr. Ji!"

"Why are you so panicked?"

Si Zheng approached Ji Liang eagerly and whispered a few words in his ear. Ji Liang's expression changed drastically: "Where is it!"

"Just in the backyard."

"It's an urgent matter, Zizhen. You take the eldest princess to the council hall first. Princess, I will come back as soon as I can."

Ye Yun nodded and said: "Business matters are important, Master Ji can just go on your own."

The assembly hall is located in the east courtyard of Dali Temple. It is where Shaoqing handles official business on weekdays. There are two tables in the assembly hall, separated by partitions. Ye Yun saw many files and pens piled on the outer table, so he

Go straight inside.

The table inside is much neater than the one outside. There is a pen holder in the upper right corner, with four brushes of different thicknesses hanging on it. Next to it is an inkstone with a grinder tilted inside.

It is a vessel for holding ink.

Ye Yun walked around the table and sat on the chair, glanced at Ji Zizhen and said, "Please Ji Shaoqing, please bring over the files of the case that Lord Ji mentioned."

"Princess, wait a minute." After saying that, Ji Zizhen went to his desk, rolled up the top file, then walked inside and handed it to Ye Yun: "Princess, the details of this case are written in it.

The Jingzhao Prefecture should have been responsible, but due to the increasing number of missing persons within a month, the Jingzhao Prefecture still had no clue, so it was transferred to Dali Temple."

While Ji Zizhen was talking, Ye Yun had already opened the file and read it carefully. The file recorded that on June 25, the 26th year of Yong'an, a woman named Cui'e reported the case, claiming that her husband Li Er was on June 25.

She went out and never came back. She was worried about her husband's safety, so she went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime.

Ye Yun continued to flip through the pages. Unexpectedly, they were all missing persons report records. Counting from June 25th to today, which is the sixth day of August, in just over a month, the number of missing persons in the imperial capital has reached 78.

people, and all of them are men in their prime.

Ye Yun put down the file and couldn't help but feel surprised. She would have understood it better if the missing people were women, but it happened that they were all middle-aged men. It was really weird!

"After reporting the crime, did the government visit the person who reported the crime?" Ye Yun looked up at Ji Zizhen and asked.

"According to the Jingzhao Mansion, people were sent to visit on the day of the incident, but to no avail," Ji Zizhen said.

Hearing this, Ye Yun rolled up the file again and put it aside. He stood up and walked around and said, "Is there something wrong, Ji Shaoqing?"

"What are your orders, princess?"

"Accompany me to Liushifang."

If he remembered correctly, Liushifang was the residence of the first reporter. Did the eldest princess want to visit in person? Thinking of this, Ji Zi's expression changed. What her father said was to recommend people.

People should be judged based on the present and look at it from a long-term perspective. This eldest princess is indeed different from the past.

Thinking about it like this, Ji Zi really looked at Ye Yun with a touch of respect in his eyes: "I obey the order."

After coming out of Dali Temple, Ye Yun did not go directly to Liu Shifang but took Ji Zizhen to the clothing store.

Under Ji Zi's puzzled gaze, Ye Yun took out a silver coin and put it on the counter and said, "The store will bring out two sets of men's clothes."

When the shopkeeper saw that Ye Yun was generous and wearing official uniform, he immediately nodded and bowed and said: "Sir, wait a moment, I will go get it now."

Not long after, the shopkeeper came out with two sets of clothes, one white and one blue, with a confused look on his face: "Unfortunately, my lord, you are here. The only clothes left that fit your figure are this white one."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can wear it." Ye Yun took the white clothes and said, "Do you have any place to change it?"

"Yes, yes, sir, please come in." The shopkeeper took the two of them to the inner room. Unfortunately, only one person could enter at a time.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, wiped the sweat from his head and whispered: "The shop is simple, please forgive me, sir."

Ye Yun glanced at the shopkeeper and said: "The shopkeeper should go to work first."

"Yes, sir."

Before leaving, the shopkeeper handed the clothes in his hand to Ji Zizhen.

Glancing at the clothes in Ji Zizhen's hands, Ye Yun said, "Why don't you invite Ji Shaoqing first?"

"I don't dare to lower my rank. The princess invites you first!" Ji Zizhen said with her hand in hand.

Seeing this, Ye Yun didn't refuse, and immediately went inside. He came out a short time later, still holding the court uniform in his hand: "Ji Shaoqing, I'm waiting for you outside."

"yes."

Returning to the counter again, Ye Yun put the court clothes in his hands on the counter and took out one tael of silver and said: "Store, please pack it up with the young master's clothes and send them to Dali Temple. This tael of silver will be yours."

It’s expensive to run errands.”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle the matter well."

As he was talking, Ji Zizhen came out. Not to mention the shop owner's good taste, the clothes on Ji Zizhen had a bit of a jade tree in the wind.

Ye Yun nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."
