Chapter 17 Then Don't Let Her Check
Mu Huaichuan couldn't understand the significance of Shen Sitang's asking these questions at all.I don't even understand why Mrs. Li and the little girl are arranged in different rooms. What is she doing?
There were more than 200 people in Li's house, and Shen Sitang interrogated them one by one, from day to night, and from night to dawn.

The people from the Inspectorate were leaning or sitting in the yard, their eyelids raised and drowsy, but the people from the Li Mansion were very sober. Some of them were locked in Room [-], some were locked in Room [-], and their spirits were high. Under the circumstances, how can there be sleepiness.

The last person to enter Room [-] was the housekeeper of Li's residence. Shen Sitang stared at him sharply, and the housekeeper sat tremblingly across the long table.

The room was empty, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop at the moment, the housekeeper was nervous for no reason, and his mind was in a mess.

Shen Sitang stared at him for a while before asking: "How long have you been with Li Guichuan?"

The housekeeper stood outside all night, trembling all over at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Returning to your lord, this old slave grew up in Li's mansion and has been serving the master for more than 50 years."

Shen Sitang deliberately waited a while before asking him the second question: "Did Li Guichuan let you take poison?"

The housekeeper waved his hands again and again: "I didn't take the poison, how could the master let the old slave take the poison? No, no!"

Mu Huaichuan pinched his brows, they interrogated all night, and no one in the entire Li residence took poison, that is to say, only Qinglan was given poison.

It seems that Shen Sitang's previous suspicion was not unreasonable.

Mu Huaichuan exhaled a turbid breath, turned his head to look at Shen Sitang beside him, there was only half a day left, could she save herself from danger during this period?
Shen Sitang asked the third question: "There used to be a maid named Lan Lan in your mansion, who was expelled from the mansion four years ago, and later entered the Yichun Courtyard and became the maid who the oiran admired. Do you remember she?"

The housekeeper's eyes flickered, subconsciously straightened his waist, shook his head and said: "There is such a person, but where she went after she was expelled from the mansion, this old slave doesn't know."

"You're lying!" Shen Sitang suddenly jumped up, causing the old housekeeper to tremble in fright, and even Mu Huaichuan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly lost his doze, and became much more energetic.

Mu Huaichuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes fixed on the old butler opposite him.

Shen Sitang said angrily: "Yichun Courtyard is Li Guichuan's business. You have been serving him since childhood and you must not have known that Lan Lan was not driven out by you, but was purposely arranged by you to Yichun Courtyard."

The old butler's lips were trembling and he was speechless.

Mu Huaichuan ordered angrily: "Come here, take this old guy back and hand him over to the torture hall for strict interrogation!"

After his voice fell, no one came in.

Mu Huaichuan's face was ugly, he got up and opened the door, He Zhao, who was leaning on the door frame and dozing off, tilted his body and almost fell in.

With Mu Huaichuan's support, He Zhao rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Boss? Has the shift changed?"

Mu Huaichuan said with a sullen face, "What shift do you take? Take the housekeeper of Li's house back for interrogation, and the others..." He turned to look at Shen Sitang as he said, "What should I do with the others?"

Shen Sitang replied: "The people in the second room have more or less lied, take them back for retrial, and the people in the third room will take care of them."

Mu Huaichuan nodded, and glanced at He Zhao. He Zhao clasped his hands to express his understanding, and then hurriedly gathered the dispirited officials in the courtyard to get up and do things.

At this time, there were no people on the streets of the capital, but it was convenient for them, and the group returned to the Inspector's Office in a mighty manner.

Shen Sitang has no intention of going home to rest, there are still many doubts about the third prince's case that have not been solved.

"You Yushi, I need Li Guichuan's business account books." After speaking, Shen Sitang seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Is You Yushi going to take over? Then I will tell him when Brother Chen comes."

Mu Huaichuan frowned and looked at her: "Aren't you resting?"

Shen Sitang shook his head: "I don't have time."

Mu Huaichuan didn't say much anymore, leaving a sentence to wait in the tea room, then turned and went out.

Before the shift was over, Mu Huaichuan delivered the ledger to her.

Shen Sitang's face was a little pale, and her lips were a little chapped. She didn't care about these, thanked Mu Huaichuan, and took the account book to look through it.

"Qian Ning, Qian Ning..." Chen Yue'an arrived before anyone could hear the sound, and pushed open the door of the tea room. Seeing Mu Huaichuan raised his chin as a greeting, he immediately sat opposite Shen Sitang with an expression on his face. Distressed: "Qian Ning, you haven't slept all night again?"

Shen Sitang hummed and focused on the account book.

Mu Huaichuan said displeasedly: "Since you're here, I'll go back home to rest."

Chen Yue'an waved at him: "Let's go, remember to come early tomorrow, don't be greedy for my time."

Mu Huaichuan went out without saying a word, and Chen Yuean lay half on the tea table, begging for a reward as if saying to Shen Sitang: "Qian Ning, don't worry, He Zhao told me everything that happened yesterday, I have ordered someone to bring Jiaoniang to Yichun Courtyard for interrogation, and I will do my best to help you today."

Shen Sitang looked up at him, and said lightly, "Brother Chen, thank you in advance."

She has no energy and no confidence, Shen Sitang feels that she is still far from the truth, and does not think that he can find out the real culprit within the time specified by Emperor Yongqing.

Not long after, a Deputy Imperial Envoy knocked on the door and came in, and said to Chen Yue'an, "Boss, the lady from Yichun Courtyard has been brought back."

Chen Yue'an got up upon hearing the words, and introduced to Shen Sitang by the way: "Qian Ning, this is Hu Zhonglun, the Deputy Imperial Envoy under my name."

Shen Sitang turned to look at Hu Zhonglun, Hu Zhonglun smiled shyly at her: "Hi Miss Shen."

Hu Zhonglun was tall and burly, and blocked the door of the tea room like a mountain, but he smiled very honestly.

Infected by his smile, Shen Sitang also showed a smile: "Vice Envoy Hu is good."

Chen Yuean patted Hu Zhonglun's arm: "Let's go, let's go to the torture hall." He looked at Shen Sitang and said, "Qian Ning, today I will pry their mouths open, don't worry."

Shen Sitang nodded, and continued to look through the ledger after they left.

Li Guichuan seems to be an ordinary businessman, and the people he cooperates with are basically a certain cloth shop or some mansion. There are many famous families in the capital, so it is normal to buy high-quality silk and satin privately.

For two whole hours, Shen Sitang found nothing. At this moment, a line caught her attention.

Xu Wangda, head of the House of Internal Affairs, brought in two hundred bolts of high-quality silk and satin.

Ministry of Internal Affairs?palace!

Li Guichuan was able to get in touch with people in the palace. Is the two hundred pieces of silk and satin an ordinary business, or some kind of excuse to meet and discuss important matters!

Shen Sitang stood up suddenly, opened the door of the tea room and shouted to the officials in the Tianji Hall: "Give me the dossier of Xu Wangda, the head of the House of Internal Affairs!"

-

The Palace of the Sixth Prince.

The door of the study room was open, Tang Yihui stepped in hastily, cupped his hands towards Jun Tingyan and said, "Your Highness, Miss Shen has already found Xu Wangda, if you continue to investigate, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression was full of anxiety, and Zhou Zifu, who was standing beside Jun Tingyan, also changed his expression: "Your Highness, we can't let Miss Shen investigate any longer!"

Jun Tingyan was holding a piece of mutton fat warm jade in his hand, and he was carving with all his heart. A lifelike white dragon took shape under his carving knife.

He looked indifferent, and after he finished carving the stroke in his hand, he said calmly: "Then... don't let her look down."
