Shen Nianyi received news from several places, one is that the fire scene of Huafeng's outer house has been almost cleaned up, after such a fire that has been drenched with fire oil, the details that can basically become evidence have been burned, and the huge dark room under it has been turned over, and there are indeed a lot of bones stored in it, and now it is burned.

Tang Churou also went to see it once, shook her head and came back, picked up a piece of bone, and it turned into charcoal ash at her fingertips, no matter how great her ability was, she didn't have the ability to continue to investigate.

Shen Nian asked, how many skeletons there were, Tang Churou counted them very carefully, and the broken ones were all pieced together, about sixteen corpses, basically men, he knew it in his heart, and asked Qiu Cheng to find the list of major and serious cases handled by the Criminal Department in the past few years, and put them on the book to check them one by one.

"Your Excellency suspects that these people all died in that outer mansion in the end?" Qiu Cheng asked in a low voice, "If that's the case, it can't be said, anyway, it's all death, what's the difference between dying in the criminal department and dying in lynching, even if you want to ask for a confession, the criminal department also has too many methods." ”

"There are a lot of methods used by the Criminal Department to extort confessions, but some people may not have only one secret, and there are always a lot of rules in the Criminal Department, Hua Feng can't get too many clues he wants in front of everyone, if there is a place that can make it easier for him to exert his fists...... "Mrs. Hua said that since three years ago, every time Hua Feng came back, he had to take a bath first, definitely not to wash the smell of rouge pollen stained on Chun Niang's body, but for fear that the smell of blood and even rotting corpses would make people suspicious.

Shen Nian squinted, after this Hua was sealed, the fox's tail was revealed, and it was really well hidden, but who was the person who killed him, the way Fan Jiming came from, the forces behind him, were pinched halfway at all, and he couldn't go up or down, why was the flaw that was deliberately exposed!

"My lord, news of this matter has reached the palace, and the emperor has not spoken for the time being, but Qin Zhengqing has heard about it, thinking that our side knows about it and does not report it." Qiu Cheng had already laid a lot of eyeliner when Shen Nian said that he wanted to monitor Qin Siran, not to mention that Luo Nan and Luo Bei were by Qin Siran's side, and it was difficult not to know.

"What does it mean to know and not report?" Shen Nianyi laughed instead of being angry, at this time, he didn't have the heart to engage in internal strife, if Qin Siran still had that mind to press step by step, he would definitely restrain it with one move, so that he would not dare to talk nonsense from now on.

"It's strange to say, in the past, Qin Zhengqing had already made a questioning face, and he was able to endure it until this moment without making a sound." Qiu Cheng continued, "It is not easy for his character to stand still. ”

"The emperor doesn't care, what qualifications does he have." Shen Nianyi's words were already very polite, Qiu Cheng raised his head and glanced at it silently, and then quickly lowered his head, "Is there a clue in the palace?" ”

"There is nothing unusual about the queen mother's body, the palace maid in charge of the meal said that the queen mother has been eating very lightly recently, and she has not invited a doctor for a whole month, and there will definitely be no serious illness, the emperor's words, it is impossible to hide the disease, so it is impossible, the harem concubines do not have this ability." Qiu Cheng felt that the Dali Temple was about to be empty, and all the people who could be sent out went out, except for the mirror flowers and water moon who only listened to Shen Nianyi's dispatch, even Yu Ze was so busy that he didn't see anyone day and night.

"And three princes."

"The sixth prince Yin has been locked up in the circle by the emperor, before the accident, his health is also very good, the second prince Yinrong, since the emperor said that the blue eyes have been added, the palace sings and dances every day, people come and go, it is really lively, in this case, it is not easy to cover up the physical condition, I am afraid it is not easy, last night the second prince was drunk, and the house was dispersed, as for the third prince Yinfeng, he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and the imperial doctor is too diligent in his house, but he can't hide it."

"If it's not, there is still that person, and we can't find out in the palace." Shen Nianyi took a deep breath and said, "Or we were wrong at the beginning. ”

"My lord, this matter is full of suspicions, and Xiao Ling's words may not be taken seriously."

"His words are absolutely good, the problem is that he doesn't know that what he hears is a deliberate revelation from the place." Shen Nianyi said in a low voice, "Continue to investigate, since the horse's feet are exposed, there will definitely be a next time, wait for the opportunity." Having said that, Shen Nianyi also knew very well that there was really not much time to spare.

They are working hard to investigate, but the other party has been chasing the first step to wipe away the traces left behind, hating and hating is often only a millimeter, and paying more manpower and material resources for this, just like a cat teasing a mouse, deliberately.

Shen Nianyi slowly clenched his fists, he had to wait until he gave a fatal blow to be able to completely conquer it, it was very good, it was very good, it would always come, and he would never retreat and give up because of this setback.

"My lord, after Ah Yang was taken away, the emperor did not order him to be executed, and the crimes he committed would not be dealt with secretly." Qiu Cheng did everything in detail, and he said clearly in one breath, "Therefore, there should be no Huo Yongyang's body in Huafeng's secret room." ”

"In other words, he is still not dead."

"Yes, the decision made by the emperor is impossible for others to refute, maybe the emperor thinks it is still useful to keep him."

"Okay, you go out first, I'll check all these files sent by the Criminal Department once and find a common place." Shen Nianyi recently checked the old accounts, and his eyes were a little unbearable, so he didn't have to worry about anything else, but his eyes, don't go wrong at a critical time.

The light in the room was bright, he opened the window, let the breeze blow in, slept well last night, today's state is much better, almost ten lines at a glance, it took two hours to read it all, there are doubts, take it out and put it aside, count, there are seventeen pieces, the number is about the same as those scorched corpses found, it seems that Hua Feng is firmly sitting in the position of the servant of the criminal department, and he has not wasted the power in his hand at all, and he can use it, and it is not leaky.

Seventeen cases, all have a common direction, Shen Nianyi's heart suddenly brightened, how to say, detectives can't blindly go around outside to find the murderer, some things have been written in black and white, and there will be results if you follow the vine, and the criminals in the seventeen cases are inseparable from Yiyantang, the biggest hidden danger organization in the imperial court.

According to the evidence he has obtained, Yiyantang has existed for nearly ten years, at the beginning, the scale was not large, how could the imperial court have to put it in the eyes of the small troublemakers, I didn't expect the power to expand so quickly, the people in the rivers and lakes have affairs in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court has always turned a blind eye to them.

It's just that in the past three years, Yiyantang has been involved in the policy of the Celestial Empire and neighboring countries to set the country and secure the country, and in the several counterattack conspiracy of Shuntian and Xishu, there are traces of Yiyantang's hands and feet, and in addition, the ambition of frequent infiltration into the imperial court, the emperor has regarded it as the first confidant a year ago, and issued a decree, but all cases involving Yiyantang must be treated as an important case, so the confirmed person will not be disposed of by Dali Temple or even the Criminal Department, and must be personally examined by the emperor.

If it is found out that Hua Feng is also the eyeliner laid by Yiyantang in the court, it is really enough to make the court in an uproar, whether he is already a master of Yiyantang, or has he been bought by other means, changed his position, and has become a meticulous work, and the red pill case of Confucianism has dragged many people to the bottom of the mud pit, so far, it is still impossible to count.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he shoulders the responsibility, and before the emperor's approval, he has already extinguished all the black market transactions of red pills, at least he will not expand the scope again, and it will take at least three or five years to set up such a net.

In fact, in private, he trusted him more, Qin Siran came back after half a year outside, one thing is indeed not wrong, Dali Temple is different from the past, and his identity and status are more stable and unshakable, which is also the reason why Qin Siran ran to the palace again and again, secretly wanted to put on small shoes for him, and he had no time to deal with it.

A Zhengqing who can only do things with his mouth, and a young secretary who is immersed in practice, the emperor has a pair of eyes in his eyes, and others don't understand, since he has gained such trust, why not simply promote Shen Nianyi and sit in the position of Zhengqing, isn't it the people's desire to do things more handily.

Shen Nianyi lowered his head and chuckled, this is the king's policy, the more he knows that the talent that can be reused, the more he has to find ways to suppress it with a useless person, as the old saying goes, it is a capital crime to cover the lord sooner or later, General Ning was born and died at the border to guard the territory, and the emperor still wants to choose a prince to be the supervisor.

The principle is the same, it just depends on whether everyone understands it in their hearts.

How could Ningxia Sheng be such a smart person not to understand that he just couldn't swallow this turbidity.

Shen Nianyi put away the case files of the Criminal Department, Hua Feng is doing things for Yiyantang, it is already an understandable fact, this result is reported to the emperor, what will be the result of Mrs. Hua and her two children, he wants to force himself not to think about it so much, He Qihu's family is also related to treason, Wen Wu'er is still living well in the palace, there are palace people who take care of An, he went to see it once, the child didn't feel the slightest danger in the palace at all, but when he left, he asked in a low voice, When will Sister Sun be able to visit him?

He touched Wu'er's hair, but did not answer, since he can't be sure, don't give the child too much hope, he is just able to see this side, and the future is far away.

Shen Nian started grinding, and wrote down all the cases of Huafeng's outer house and the closure of the case that had been acting for Yiyantang for many years, trying to avoid the existence of Chunniang's mother and daughter and Mrs. Hua's mother and son, and writing the murderer who committed the murder and arson in the end more eye-catching, when he put down the pen, he smiled bitterly, when the emperor saw this closure, would he sentence him to be incompetent in chasing the murderer, and unable to catch the important people of Yiyantang, anyway, I am afraid that this batch will not be able to hide.
