Chapter 14: The Ten Vice-Governors
The night in the capital was bitterly cold, and Shen Sitang and Chen Yue'an walked all the way, and they were much more sober.
Shen Sitang was upset in her heart, she thought that the intoxication must have something to do with Qinglan's origin, so she only waited for four or five hours to see her, but she didn't expect that things were very different from what she thought.
From the moment he asked about Lan Lan, Shen Sitang stared firmly at the intoxicated reaction, for fear of missing a single thing, but... She behaved normally, without the slightest surprise or weakness.
The concubine and intoxication of the third prince have only known each other for four years, which means that she has only been in Yichun Courtyard for four years, is it possible that the clue is going to be broken here?
Qinglan's body she carefully examined, according to her judgment, Qinglan has been controlled by people for at least ten years, it is impossible to poison her from the drunkenness who has only known her for four years, unless the drunkenness is deceiving her.
If so, what about the motivation for intoxication? What kind of hatred can a Qinglou woman have with the three princes?
It seems that she is still thinking too shallowly, with Gu killing, at least ten years of planning, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be the mastermind.
So assuming that Zun Xin and Qinglan are just chess pieces on the chessboard, then who is the person behind them? Why did you murder the Three Princes?
Shen Sitang realized that this case was a hot potato.
Maybe no matter whether she can find out the truth or not, she will lose her head.
Thinking of this, Shen Sitang took a deep breath and became even more bored.
Chen Yue'an shook his head on the side, patted his face again, and then asked her with a big tongue: "Qianning, what did you find?" ”
Shen Sitang turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, good guy, this big brother, you finally remembered to get down to business?
"I found out that the concubine of the third prince was originally an obsessed maid of the Oiran, but there are too many mysteries here, let's go back to the Inspectorate first."
Chen Yuean tilted his head to look at her: "Go back to the Inspectorate?" Aren't you going home? ”
Shen Sitang glanced at him, and said angrily: "How can I be in the mood to go home, I want all the files of the Three Princes' case, including the clues you collected during the Three Princes' madness!" ”
That night, Shen Sitang stayed in the tea room of the Tianji Hall of the Inspectorate all night, and Chen Yue'an, who had drunk too much, slept on the floor of the tea room all night.
——
The sky was bright, Chen Yue'an rolled on the ground and slowly opened his eyes, he wiped the corners of his mouth, first looked around to determine his position, and then sat up slowly, looking at Shen Sitang who was still flipping through the file.
Chen Yue'an's head was a little swollen, and he slowed down for a while before he said inarticulately: "You haven't slept all night?" ”
Shen Sitang didn't answer him immediately, she was holding the file in one hand and the brush in the other, and she was concentrating on recording something.
Chen Yue'an didn't mind at all, yawned, pursed his bitter lips, got up and said, "I'll go wash up and come back soon." ”
This time, Shen Sitang nodded, which was in response to him.
When Chen Yue'an returned to the tea room again, he had already changed into a set of gorgeous clothes, and he was refreshed as if the decadent young man from before was not him at all.
Shen Sitang took a deep breath, finally put down the brush and file in her hand, and handed Chen Yue'an the results of her busy night.
Chen Yue'an took it and frowned.
Shen Sitang said with a tired face: "Oiran intoxicated me to tell me that Qinglan was picked up by her at the back gate of Yichun Courtyard four years ago, and I now have two guesses, one is that Qinglan was arranged at the back door and lurked in Yichun Courtyard to wait for the opportunity, but the corresponding question is, what time to wait?" Why did you choose Yee Chun Hospital? ”
Chen Yue'an nodded in agreement and asked, "Is there another possibility?" ”
"Maybe Intoxication and Qinglan are controlled by others, and the people behind them deliberately arranged it."
Chen Yue'an nodded again in agreement.
Shen Sitang continued: "So I need your inspectorate to secretly investigate the origin of the drunkenness, as well as the background of the Yichun Courtyard, I want the information of any relevant personnel, and it is best to give it to me today." ”
A day and a half has passed since the three-day deadline given to her by the emperor.
Chen Yue'an was about to respond, and suddenly seemed to think of something, for a reason: "Qianning, that's the case, we are about to change shifts, why don't you tell Mu Huaichuan about this?" He is on duty today. ”
Shen Sitang's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, what about helping me?" ”
"Help! I'm sure to help you! Chen Yue'an patted Shen Sitang on the shoulder: "I'll help you tomorrow." ”
Shen Sitang was really speechless, is refusing to work overtime the departmental culture of the Inspectorate?
Chen Yue'an stuffed the paper in his hand into Shen Sitang's arms, opened the door of the tea room and looked out: "Why hasn't he come yet?" Day by day, I know that I am greedy for my time, and I have really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes with a colleague like him! ”
Shen Sitang said in his heart: "At this moment, my mood is the same as Brother Chen. ’
"Hey, here." Chen Yue'an happily greeted him, and Shen Sitang also followed.
Mu Huaichuan was wearing a cyan brocade robe, a silver crown and a haircut, and his face with clear eyebrows was pleasing to the eye.
He was followed by two imperial historians, dressed in ink-colored uniforms, with swords and tokens representing the status of the deputy imperial envoys hanging from their waists.
The Inspectorate is led by the Governor of the Imperial History Fu Yun, which is under the left and right Imperial History, and then under the Deputy Imperial Envoy, the number of Deputy Imperial Envoys is not limited, as far as she knows, there are currently ten Deputy Imperial Historians of the Inspectorate, strange to say, she has not seen one in the past two days.
"Xinyuan, He Zhao, are you back? What about the others? ”
Standing behind Mu Huaichuan's left, the man with thick eyebrows and small eyes replied: "Zhong Lun and Shiting have returned to the house to rest, and the other governors have other arrangements, and the return date is uncertain." ”
Chen Yue'an sighed, and didn't mean to say a few words to them, and said bluntly: "Then I will go back to the house to rest." After speaking, he greeted Shen Sitang: "Qianning, I'll go first, Ming'er, I'll take you to eat the most delicious crystal elbow in the capital." ”
How? Have you arranged a decapitated meal for her in advance?
Shen Sitang complained in his heart, barely kept a smile on his face, waved goodbye to him: "Brother Chen, see you tomorrow." ”
Chen Yue'an slipped away quickly, just like the inspectorate had a punch-in mechanism.
Shen Sitang smiled a little embarrassedly at the three big men opposite.
Mu Huaichuan glanced at her with cold eyes, and then said to the two people on the side: "This is Shen Sitang, the daughter of Shen Mingyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department." Then he said to Shen Sitang: "This is He Xinyuan, this is He Zhao." ”
"He is good." After Shen Sitang greeted the man with thick eyebrows and small eyes, he said hello to the man who looked like Sven on the other side: "Hello Deputy Envoy He." ”
Their eyes twinkled with amazement, and it was clear that they had seen her portrait.
Mu Huaichuan didn't give them a chance to be polite to each other, and as soon as Shen Sitang finished speaking, he sneered and said: "I heard that you have read the file all night, I really don't know whether to say that it is better for you to spare your life or play with your life." ”
Why is this person so weird today? Did she offend him?
Shen Sitang didn't care about him, and directly handed him the paper in his hand: "Yes, I have compiled some clues, you can take a look." Then she repeated what she had said to Chen Yue'an to him before, and then smiled at him: "Right Yushi, if you have a clue, please send someone to Shen Mansion to inform me, I will go back and rest for a while, thank you for your hard work." ”
She bowed to them humbly and politely, and strode away.
Mu Huaichuan turned his head to stare at her back, his face was extremely ugly.
——
Shen Sitang yawned and returned to the Shen Mansion, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard Shen Cao's ghost crying wolf.
