Chapter 2: Open the coffin and dissect the body

The Yan Dynasty set up a drum in the capital and placed it at the gate of the Inspectorate.

Inspectorate: A non-traditional yamen directly under the emperor with the power to investigate all officials and dignitaries except the emperor.

The governor has an order, the drum beats three times, and the case is handled in the court!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Ascension!"

As soon as Shen Sitang finished beating the drum of injustice, she heard the officials shouting in unison, and then she was caught in by two officials.

It's not an exaggeration, the two officials are tall and big, one on the left and one on the right, and she lifts her up, and she takes off.

"Who's in the hall!"

Shen Sitang was thrown to the ground without pity, she rubbed her sore buttocks, knelt on the spot, and then slowly raised her eyes.

There was a man sitting in the hall, with a silver crown and a brocade robe, and his eyebrows were clear.

Shen Sitang couldn't help but be surprised, so young?

Mu Huaichuan in the hall was even more surprised than her, he hadn't seen her face before, but he recognized her at this time, the eldest daughter of Shen Mingyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the only daughter of the late Chaoyang General: Shen Sitang!

The third prince had an accident under Shen Mingyi's nose, the emperor was furious, and he wanted Shen Mingyi's whole family to be buried together, if it weren't for the fact that the governor moved out of the Chaoyang general who had made great achievements, Shen Mingyi's family would have to end up in the frontier if he didn't die, how could she dare to beat the drum and voice her grievances at this time?

But Shen Mingyi's daughter, how can she be so good-looking, much better than the portrait.

The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, looking forward to the brilliance, although the blue jade skirt does not seem to fit, but it also sets off her skin like congealed fat, graceful and graceful.

The clothes on Shen Sitang's body are Shen Lezhi's, which is a little short for her, and she doesn't dislike it, so she can't be asked to run around the street in her underwear.

"Shen Sitang, the daughter of the people, Shen Mingyi, was originally the secretary of the criminal department, and was imprisoned for the case of the three princes, the father has always been conscientious and conscientious, and everything must be done proactively, the death of the three princes must have hidden secrets, and please also ask the adults to investigate and return the father's innocence!"

Mu Huaichuan in the hall shook his head regretfully, the kindness of the governor was afraid that it would be in vain.

The third prince has died, and although the emperor appointed the Inspectorate to find out the truth, Shen Mingyi is accused of lax care anyway, and the death penalty cannot be escaped.

Now that his daughter is beating the drum and crying out for grievances, this matter can't be hidden from the emperor, and it reaches the ears of the emperor, isn't Shen Sitang's move questioning the emperor's indiscriminate killing of innocents?

"In the case of the three princes, the criminal Shen Mingyi neglected his duties, so that the three princes were killed in the prison of the Criminal Department, how could he be wronged!"

Shen Sitang met Mu Huaichuan's gaze: "My lord, I know it!" My father has always been meticulous, and he is by no means a dereliction of duty, not to mention that the cause of the death of the third prince has not been ascertained so far, how do you know if he was killed by someone or for other reasons? ”

Mu Huaichuan leaned forward and stared at Shen Sitang with his eyes like a torch.

"How do you know that the cause of the death of the third prince has not yet been ascertained?"

Shen Sitang's eyes flashed: "Folk girl... Guess. ”

Without waiting for Mu Huaichuan to react, Shen Sitang struck while the iron was hot and arched his hand at him: "My lord, the people's daughter is willing to make meritorious contributions for her father's crimes, just give the people's daughter three hours, and the people's daughter will definitely be able to find out the cause of the death of the third prince." ”

Three hours?

When Mu Huaichuan heard this, he just wanted to say four words to Shen Sitang: Don't be ashamed!

He stared at Shen Sitang coldly: "Do you know the fate of opening the river?" ”

Shen Sitang looked him directly into the eyes: "Within three hours, if the people's daughter can't find out the cause of the death of the third prince, let the people's daughter and her father escort them to the execution ground together to bury the three princes!" ”

It is rumored that the daughter of General Chaoyang in exchange for his life is the first waste material of the Yan Dynasty, but Shen Sitang under the hall is so bold that he threatens to find out the cause of the death of the third prince within three hours.

He wanted to see if she was really capable, or if she really hated her life.

Mu Huaichuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly got up: "Shen Sitang, you come with me." ”

Shen Sitang's eyebrows were slightly raised.

Many officials in the hall looked at each other, and they knew what this sentence meant.

Shen Sitang bowed his hand: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Immediately, she lowered her eyebrows and followed Mu Huaichuan through the outer hall and into the inner courtyard of the Inspectorate.

"Right Imperial History."

"Right Imperial History."

"Right Imperial History."

Three groups of people saluted the young man who walked in front of him, respecting him as the right imperial history, and Shen Sitang looked at the back of his head in disbelief.

This kid turned out to be the right imperial history of the Inspectorate? One of the second-in-command of the Inspectorate?

It's a bit big!

Shen Sitang looked down and looked at his thighs, uh... Can't see.

"Do you want a dossier, or do you want to meet with the relevant people, etc.?" The right imperial history who walked in front did not look back, and asked in a weak voice.

Shen Sitang raised his eyes and looked at the back of his head, and replied with the same indifference: "The folk girl wants to open the coffin and dissect the corpse." ”

The back of her head suddenly changed to a face, and she was worried that he would throw her head out.

The eyes of the two collided, and Shen Sitang blinked, looking innocent and innocent.

Mu Huaichuan gritted her teeth fiercely, she only said that she could find out the cause of the death of the third prince within three hours, but she didn't say that it was in this way, and now he took her into the inner court in front of many officials, which is equivalent to promising her.

Shen Sitang didn't seem to know what a big rebellious thing he had said!

Mu Huaichuan regretted it a lot, he knew that she was here to find death, and he directly beat her to death in the court, so why should she be implicated.

How dare she? Open the coffin and dissect the body? That's the body of the Three Princes! How can she be humiliated!

——

After passing through the long corridor and many checkpoints, Mu Huaichuan took her around and around and came to a secluded independent courtyard.

"You're waiting here."

After Mu Huaichuan finished speaking in an unkind tone, he pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard and stepped in.

Shen Sitang stopped and instinctively glanced in.

The yard was full of flowers, plants, vegetables, melons and fruits, and what she saw surprised her.

What is the Inspectorate? The iron welded mouth has to be opened obediently when it comes here, but whoever is caught in will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die, which can be called purgatory on earth.

Such an elegant courtyard is incompatible with the prestige of the Inspectorate.

Mu Huaichuan closed the wooden door of the courtyard and glanced at her with warning.

Shen Sitang retracted his gaze and waited with his eyes down.

Mu Huaichuan bypassed the small vegetable garden and walked along the cobblestone path to the backyard, which was another scene.

It is a clear lake in sight, the lotus flowers are in full bloom on the lake, there is a wooden plank road built on the lake, at the end of the wooden plank road is an octagonal pavilion, there are two figures playing in the octagonal pavilion, and there is a fishing platform outside the octagonal pavilion.

Mu Huaichuan stopped outside the octagonal pavilion and bowed silently, not daring to disturb the two who were playing.

After a while, he heard a deep and calm voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Huaichuan replied respectfully: "Shen Sitang, the daughter of Shen Mingyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, beat the drum of grievances, wanting to find out the truth on behalf of her father and make meritorious contributions. ”

The Yan Dynasty did have a law of making meritorious contributions for his father's sins and not being punished.

"Oh?"

Mu Huaichuan added: "Duke, Shen Sitang threatened that within three hours, the cause of the death of the third prince will be ascertained. ”

The Governor was interested, and in his thick and calm voice, there was a slight smile of unknown meaning: "The inspectorate has stayed up all night, and she has tried her best to find no clues, she really only needs three hours?" ”

Mu Huaichuan didn't dare to hide it: "Shen Sitang said that if he couldn't find out, he would be guilty of the same crime as his father, and he was willing to go to the execution ground to bury the third prince." ”

The Duke asked indifferently: "How is she going to check?" ”

Mu Huaichuan was sweating on his forehead, and he said stubbornly: "She wants to open the coffin and dissect the corpse!" ”

The Duke's movements were obvious, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Mu Huaichuan couldn't hide his surprise that the Duke didn't give her to death, and asked the opinion of the six princes? He couldn't help but look at the man sitting opposite the Duke, with a peerless face.

I saw that the man fell without hesitation, and then the corner of his mouth hooked: "Accurate." ”
