Chapter 16: An Unseen Way of Interrogation

Shen Sitang came to the tea room of Tianji Hall angrily, Mu Huaichuan, He Xinyuan and He Zhao were all there, seeing her like this, the three of them were confused.

Mu Huaichuan frowned: "The Inspectorate has found the clues you want as quickly as possible, who are you showing this face to?" ”

Shen Sitang sat on the futon angrily, poured a cup of tea and poured it down, and then explained: "I'm not targeting you. ”

He Xinyuan subconsciously continued: "Then who are you targeting?" ”

"It's not that old yet..."

Before the six characters were spoken, they were forcibly stopped by Shen Sitang, this is not the rule of law society she has lived in, if she dares to be disrespectful to the prince, her head will fall to the ground in minutes!

He Xinyuan and He Zhao, you look at me, I look at you, and the two looked at Mu Huaichuan together.

Mu Huaichuan was still frowning, but he didn't continue to ask, but pushed the file on the tea case in front of her: "This is what you want." ”

Shen Sitang restrained his emotions and picked up the file.

"Oiran was sold to Yichun Courtyard at the age of six or seven, and as for where she was abducted and trafficked, the person who sold her has long been unable to find her, and there is no way to verify."

Shen Sitang listened to Mu Huaichuan's explanation while flipping through the file, the inspectorate's investigation was very detailed, from being sold to Yichun Courtyard in a daze, to when she became an Oiran and when she started to pick up customers.

"Li Guichuan?" Shen Sitang saw the new figure, raised his eyes and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"Qinglan, the concubine of the third prince, used to be the maid of the Li Mansion, and this Li Guichuan was in the silk business, and often traveled from south to north." Saying that, Mu Huaichuan lowered his voice: "Li Guichuan has a big shop in southern Xinjiang. ”

Shen Sitang chuckled in his heart, Southern Xinjiang made good use of Gu poison, and Mu Huaichuan's meaning was self-evident.

Continuing to flip through the dossier, Shen Sitang saw something similar to a land deed, and she was surprised: "Yichun Courtyard is Li Guichuan's property?" ”

"That's right, and the lady of Yichun Courtyard used to be Li Guichuan's outer room."

Shen Sitang's eyebrows furrowed, all the evidence pointed to Li Guichuan, but she didn't understand it a little.

"Why did Li Guichuan do this?"

"You roll back."

Shen Sitang flipped through the file according to his words, and it turned out that Li Guichuan's seven-year-old daughter died under the horse six years ago, and the person riding the horse was the third prince.

When the third prince had just learned to ride a horse, he failed to control the horse, resulting in the tragic death of Li Guichuan's daughter under the horse's hooves.

Li Guichuan lost his beloved daughter and wanted to seek justice for his daughter, but the third prince was noble, and he finally got a box of gold as compensation.

It can be seen that Li Guichuan is indeed motivated, but what happened six years ago, even if Li Guichuan began to plan to assassinate the third prince at that time, why did Qinglan take medicine for more than ten years?

Shen Sitang told Mu Huaichuan and others about his doubts.

Mu Huaichuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a problem?" ”

"How can it be!" Shen Sitang frowned: "Qinglan is just a maid of the Li Mansion, even if the Li Mansion is not doing a legitimate business, it can't control a maid, right?" If Qinglan has only been poisoned for six years, then everything makes sense, but she has been poisoned for ten years, don't you think there is a big problem here? ”

Mu Huaichuan disagreed: "Maybe Li Guichuan is suspicious by nature and fed poison to everyone in his house?" ”

Shen Sitang took a deep breath and said, "You have to check it to know." ”

——

Mu Huaichuan led a team of people to surround the Li Mansion, Li Guichuan was not in the mansion, Mu Huaichuan asked He Xinyuan to take the housekeeper of the Li Mansion to the shop to arrest him, and soon everyone was gathered in the front yard of the Li Mansion.

Everyone in the Li Mansion was in danger, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Right Imperial History, this is the roster of the Li Mansion." An official handed the roster to Mu Huaichuan, and after Mu Huaichuan took a cursory look at it, he handed it to Shen Sitang on the side.

Shen Sitang took it and looked at it carefully.

There are a total of 163 servants in Li Guichuan's mansion, and a total of 47 family members, including one wife, 14 concubines, and the rest are heirs, which means that Li Guichuan has 32 children.

"It's really alive."

Mu Huaichuan looked at the pile of young masters' daughters standing in the front row, and couldn't help but tease.

Shen Sitang had the same emotion in her heart, but what she was thinking about was, thirty-two children, does Li Guichuan really love every child? Will he block his glory and wealth for the sake of one of the children?

"Right Yushi, Li Guichuan brought it back."

He Xinyuan detained Li Guichuan, who had a fat head and big ears, and walked in, Li Guichuan seemed to have expected today's situation, there was no panic and anxiety in his eyes, only anger and unwillingness.

Mu Huaichuan stood in front of Li Guichuan with his hands behind his back: "Li Guichuan, you are so bold, you dare to murder the third prince!" ”

Li Guichuan snorted: "What are these words, my lord?" The grass people don't understand. ”

"Don't admit it? Anyway. Mu Huaichuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly ordered in a deep voice: "Take him back and interrogate him strictly!" ”

"Yes!" He Xinyuan received the order and escorted Li Guichuan back with a few officials.

The more Shen Sitang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, she raised her eyes and glanced around, and then said to Mu Huaichuan: "I want to ask, help me arrange three rooms, and mark room No. 1, room No. 2 and room No. 3 respectively." ”

Mu Huaichuan frowned: "What do you want to ask?" I asked the torture hall to ask. ”

"No, I'm going to ask in person."

Mu Huaichuan hesitated for a moment, prepared three rooms according to what she said, and marked them.

Shen Sitang stood in front of the Li family and said loudly: "All of you line up in front of Room No. 1, come in one by one, I will ask you questions, you had better answer truthfully, if someone has a different answer, I can only let that person enter the torture hall of the Inspectorate, understand?" ”

The people of the Li Mansion were already frightened, and they dared to refute it, so they responded one after another, and then lined up in front of Room No. 1.

He Zhao came to Mu Huaichuan's side and hissed: "Boss, what does she want to do?" ”

Mu Huaichuan was silent, Shen Sitang was like an outlier, always able to do something unexpected.

"Right Imperial History." Shen Sitang walked to the door of room No. 1, turned around and beckoned to Mu Huaichuan: "You come over and help me make a record." ”

Mu Huaichuan's fists tightened, and Shen Sitang, who was bold, instructed him to do things again!

He Zhao subconsciously looked at his own leader, and when he saw him gritting his teeth and passing towards Shen Sitang, he sighed twice and sighed: "The leader is so cute when he is obedient." ”

——

The first person to enter room No. 1 was Li Guichuan's wife, and Shen Sitang only asked her three questions.

Shen Sitang asked, "Is Li Guichuan good to you?" ”

Mrs. Li replied: "If you go back to your lordship, he is very good to the people's women?" ”

Shen Sitang asked again: "Is he good to the children?" ”

Mrs. Li paused slightly: "Also... It's pretty good, too. ”

Shen Sitang asked again: "Do you know that Li Guichuan poisoned your slave and needs to take the antidote regularly to survive?" ”

Mrs. Li's face changed, and she was obviously flustered: "This... The women didn't know about it. ”

Shen Sitang didn't ask any more questions, and said lightly: "Take her to room No. 2 to take care of her." ”

Mu Huaichuan didn't ask much, and ordered the officials guarding the door to take Mrs. Li down.

The second person to enter room No. 1 was one of Li Guichuan's daughters, who looked to be eight or nine years old.

Shen Sitang also asked her three questions.

"Is your father always at home?"

The little girl shook her head: "Daddy is busy with business and is not often at home. ”

"Is your father nice to you?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought about it, and replied: "Daddy didn't beat and scold me, that's good, isn't it?" ”

"Let me ask you again, did your father talk to you a lot, and hug you a lot?"

The question was obviously much simpler, and the little girl shook her head without much thought: "I rarely speak, I have never hugged." ”

Shen Sitang nodded and said to Mu Huaichuan, "Take her to room three." ”
