Chen Yue'an didn't know why, so he sat on the stool and didn't get up.

"Qianning, what are you doing in the dining room? Are you hungry? ”

Shen Sitang's momentum that he had just held up collapsed suddenly, Brother Chen was really cute sometimes, she seriously doubted whether he had solved the case in the Inspectorate!

"Shen... Miss Shen is hungry? Steward Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old slave... The old slave ordered the dining room to bring food over, how dare he drive Miss Shen to make a trip herself. ”

Chen Yue'an narrowed his eyes, as if he finally realized that something was wrong.

"Stop!" He took the case and called Steward Liu, who was about to go out to explain to the servants.

Steward Liu trembled, stopped in place and did not dare to move.

Chen Yue'an strode forward, and saw that Steward Liu's forehead was covered with dense sweat, and he avoided his eyes with a weak heart.

"Someone, watch him!"

"Yes!"

The two officials stepped forward and twisted Steward Liu's hands behind his back, Steward Liu shouted in pain for a while, and the officials scolded him angrily to be honest.

Chen Yue'an led a group of people to break into the side courtyard, but was blocked by the guards of Prince Gong's mansion on the way, and the people in the inspectorate were all fierce and vicious, and directly knocked them to the ground.

The two masters beside Prince Gong were not there, and they didn't pay attention to the guards of the palace at all, but with Chen Yue'an here, even if those two masters appeared, it would be useless.

They broke all the way to the door of the dining room, but were blocked by two heaven-level martial artists.

Chen Yue'an squinted his eyes and sneered: "There are actually two heaven-level martial artists arranged in the dining room, but this imperial history wants to go in and see what unsightly things are hidden inside!" ”

The two martial artists knew that they were not Chen Yue'an's opponents, and said in a deep voice: "This is the dining room of Prince Gong's mansion, how can you be presumptuous, if you are allowed to enter, the prince and princess will have problems eating, how can the inspectorate afford it!" ”

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Chen Yue'an was impatient, and directly kicked the two to the ground, and the two fell to the dining room holding their chests.

The cooks and servants in the dining room stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

Chen Yue'an took Shen Sitang into the dining room and looked at the two martial artists condescendingly: "The Inspectorate is handling the case, how can you allow you to obstruct it, and then dare to be presumptuous, don't blame this imperial history for abolishing you!" ”

Shen Sitang couldn't wait to applaud, I have to say that although Chen Yue'an is lazy to do things, he is really neat when he does things.

"Qianning, what do you want to check?"

Shen Sitang suddenly heard an extremely gentle voice, she raised her eyes and followed the sound, only to see Chen Yue'an looking at her with bright eyes.

At this time, Chen Yue'an was like a loyal dog who stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail at her, he didn't mean to slander and humiliate him, he purely felt that Brother Chen was cute and loving.

Shen Sitang pointed to the stove: "I suspect that the roster was recently transcribed, the original roster is very likely to be burned, Steward Liu said that the leather is wrapped in silver sheets, and the roster can be burned clean, but the silver sheets cannot." ”

Chen Yue'an understood, and immediately ordered someone to check in the stove.

A moment later, the official reported to them: "There is no silver piece in the imperial history. ”

Shen Sitang was not surprised: "It's normal if not, no matter how small the silver piece is, it is still silver, maybe it was secretly hidden by the people in the dining room, search their bodies, and if they can't find it, they will search their residence." ”

Chen Yue'an waved his hand, and the people in the dining room were quickly surrounded, and the officials of the inspectorate searched one by one, and really found two pieces of silver the size of the cover of the roster from the arms of one person.

The clerk handed the silver piece to Chen Yue'an, and Chen Yue'an pinched the two pieces of silver in his hand and laughed.

"Qianning, it's really yours, how do you know that they will definitely take the roster to the dining room and burn it?"

Shen Sitang smiled confidently: "The roster is such a thing, it is always unsafe to throw it away, it is necessary to destroy it, it is the safest to get it to the dining room, it can not only burn it cleanly, but also cover up the smell of leather burning, but they ignore the silver pieces in the roster, if the iron one is afraid that they have already thrown it away, but it is silver, it is always worth something, how can no one be greedy for ink?" ”

Chen Yue'an's eyes lit up, and he gave Shen Sitang a thumbs up: "Awesome, Qianning!" ”

Shen Sitang grinned very much.

The reason why the people in Prince Gong's Mansion wanted to burn the roster was obviously because there was an extra person in the original roster, and that person was very likely to be an important clue to the killing of the county lord of Poria, that is to say, Prince Gong had long known that the murderer was not her!

Shen Sitang and Chen Yue'an walked out with the silver piece, and she said in a low voice: "Nine times out of ten, the people who disappeared from the roster are dead, Brother Chen, I need you to send someone to keep an eye on every move of the palace, and we have to find out the identity of the other party before they smuggle the corpse." ”

"Smuggling corpses?" Chen Yue'an's eyes widened: "You mean, the body of the person who disappeared is still in Prince Gong's Mansion!" ”

"Hmm." Shen Sitang nodded: "That person must have died not long ago, otherwise the roster would have been changed a long time ago, there is no need to wait until now, if the county lord of Poria kills someone, the best place to hide the corpse is Prince Gong's mansion, and it is easy to go wrong when it is transported out." ”

"You think they're going to risk taking the body away?"

"Definitely!" Shen Sitang said firmly: "Not necessarily before, but now that we have discovered the fact that the roster has been transcribed, Prince Gong will not sit idly by. And..."

Shen Sitang suddenly paused when he said this, and Chen Yue'an asked urgently: "And what?" ”

"You said that Deputy Envoy Hu and Deputy Envoy Zeng didn't find anything at the gate of the city, which means that the person who killed the county lord of Poria has not left the capital, and it is very likely that he also wants the corpse."

Chen Yue'an nodded in agreement, and then clenched his fists: "It is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, but now we want to help that evil girl catch the murderer, what a wreck!" ”

Shen Sitang's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything.

The two walked out of the gate of Prince Gong's mansion one after the other, followed by several officials, and the team was mighty.

Chen Yue'an put his hands behind his head and looked at her leisurely: "Are you hungry?" Shall we go to Huamanlou for dinner? ”

Shen Sitang said: "Brother Chen, why do you think about going to Huamanlou every day?" The food in the Inspectorate is also quite delicious, for the sake of your precarious fortune, let's go back and eat, right? ”

"Afraid of what? Anyway, I've been fined for a year, and it's all for nothing. ”

Shen Sitang shook her head and smiled, and suddenly swept a slightly familiar figure in her afterglow, she looked at it fixedly, but there were only ordinary people left over there.

"What's wrong, Qianning?" Chen Yue'an saw her stop and turned his head to look over.

"Huh? Nothing, let's go. Shen Sitang retracted his gaze and followed casually.

Chen Yue'an glanced in the direction she was looking, and then complained to her about how unpalatable the food in the Inspectorate was.

Shen Sitang smiled and listened to his complaints, and accosted him from time to time, but his mind was on the figure he saw inadvertently.

What she saw was not an acquaintance, but the clothes he was wearing.

It was a rare garment in the capital, because there were only temples in the capital, no Taoist temples, and the person was wearing the same young Taoist priest she had seen at the gate of Jingyuan Temple a few days ago... The gown!
