Chapter 2

The Yan Dynasty set up a grievance drum in the capital, which was placed at the gate of the Inspectorate.

Inspectorate: A non-traditional yamen directly under the emperor, with the right to investigate all officials and dignitaries except the emperor.

The governor has an order, the drum beats three times, and he is promoted to handle the case!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ascension!"

As soon as Shen Sitang finished beating the grievance drum, she heard the officials shouting in unison, and then she was caught in by two officials.

It's not an exaggeration at all, the two tall and burly officials supported her from left to right and lifted her up, and she flew into the air.

"Who is in the hall!"

Shen Sitang was thrown on the ground mercilessly, she rubbed her sore buttocks, knelt down on the spot, and then slowly raised her eyes.

Sitting in the hall was a man with a silver crown, a brocade robe, and a handsome face.

Shen Sitang couldn't help being surprised, so young?
Mu Huaichuan in the hall was even more surprised than her. He hadn't seen her face before, but now he recognized her. The eldest daughter of Shen Mingyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and the only daughter of the late General Chaoyang: Shen Sitang!

An accident happened to the third prince under Shen Mingyi's nose. The emperor was furious and wanted Shen Mingyi's family to be buried with him. If the governor hadn't brought out the highly decorated General Chaoyang, Shen Mingyi's family would have been sent to the frontier even if they didn't die. How dare she be in this place? Time to beat the drums and complain?
But how could Shen Mingyi's daughter be so beautiful, much more beautiful than in the portrait.

Her eyebrows are picturesque, and her gaze shines brightly. Although the sapphire-colored skirt doesn't seem to fit her body well, it also complements her skin like fat and graceful.

The clothes on Shen Sitang's body belonged to Shen Lezhi, it was a little short for her, she didn't dislike it, she couldn't be asked to run around in the street in her underwear.

"Shen Sitang, a civil daughter, my father Shen Mingyi was originally the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He was convicted and imprisoned for the case of the third prince. My father has always been conscientious and dedicated to everything. There must be something hidden about the death of the third prince. My lord, please investigate clearly and return my father's innocence!"

Mu Huaichuan in the hall shook his head regretfully, the duke's good intentions might be in vain.

The third prince had passed away, and although the emperor appointed the Inspectorate to find out the truth, Shen Mingyi was charged with lax supervision no matter what, and death was inevitable.

Now that his daughter is beating the drum to complain, the matter cannot be hidden from the emperor, and it has been heard by the emperor. Isn't Shen Sitang questioning the emperor's indiscriminate killing of innocents?

"In the case of the third prince, the guilty minister Shen Mingyi neglected his duties, and as a result the third prince was killed in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How could he be wronged!"

Shen Sitang met Mu Huaichuan's gaze: "Your Excellency, you are very careful! My father has always been careful, and he is by no means a negligent person. What's more, the cause of the third prince's death has not yet been ascertained. How can we know whether he was murdered or caused by other reasons?" ?”

Mu Huaichuan leaned forward, staring at Shen Sitang with fiery eyes.

"How do you know that the cause of the third prince's death has not yet been found out?"

Shen Sitang's eyes flickered: "Minister...guess."

Before Mu Huaichuan could react, Shen Sitang hit the iron while the iron was hot, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Minnv is willing to take the crime and do meritorious service for my father, as long as you give Minnv three hours, Minnv will be able to find out the cause of the third prince's death."

Three hours?

After hearing this, Mu Huaichuan only wanted to say four words to Shen Sitang: speak boldly!

He stared at Shen Sitang coldly: "Do you know the fate of talking nonsense?"

Shen Sitang looked him straight in the eyes: "If the daughter-in-law cannot find out the cause of the third prince's death within three hours, the daughter-in-law and my father will be escorted to the execution ground to be buried with the third prince!"

It was rumored that the daughter of General Chaoyang in exchange for his life was the number one waste in the Yan Dynasty, but Shen Sitang in the hall was so courageous that he threatened to find out the cause of the third prince's death within three hours.

He wanted to see if she was really capable, or if she really hated her life.

Mu Huaichuan was silent for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "Shen Sitang, come with me."

Shen Sitang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Many officials and soldiers in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay. They knew what this sentence meant.

Shen Sitang clasped his hands together: "Thank you, my lord!"

Immediately, she followed Mu Huaichuan through the outer hall with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and entered the inner court of the inspector's office.

"The right censor."

"The right censor."

"The right censor."

Three groups of people saluted and greeted the young man walking in front, respecting him as the right censor, Shen Sitang looked at the back of his head in disbelief.

This kid turned out to be the right censor of the Inspectorate?One of the second in command of the Inspectorate?

The background is a bit big!

Shen Sitang moved his eyes down and looked at his thigh, uh... can't see it.

"Do you want a dossier, or do you want to see relevant people?" You Yushi, who was walking in front, asked indifferently without looking back.

Shen Sitang raised his eyes to look at the back of his head, and replied in the same dull way: "The daughter of the people wants to open the coffin and dissect the body."

The back of her head suddenly changed into a face, and she was worried that he would throw her head out with such a speed of turning her head.

The eyes of the two collided, and Shen Sitang blinked, looking innocent and innocent.

Mu Huaichuan gritted her teeth fiercely. She only said that she could find out the cause of the third prince's death within three hours, but she didn't say it was done in this way. Now that he took her into the inner court in front of many officials, it was equivalent to a promise. she.

Shen Sitang seemed to have no idea how outrageous things he said!
Mu Huaichuan regretted it quite a bit. If he had known that she was looking for death, he would just beat her to death in court, so why should she be implicated.

How dare she?Open the coffin and dissect the corpse?That is the body of the Third Prince!How could she be humiliated!
-

Through the long corridors and numerous checkpoints, Mu Huaichuan led her to a secluded independent small courtyard.

"You wait here."

After Mu Huaichuan finished speaking in a bad tone, he pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard and stepped in.

Shen Sitang stopped and instinctively glanced in.

The yard was full of flowers and plants, as well as vegetables and fruits, and she was surprised by everything she saw.

Where is the Inspectorate?Tie Weld's mouth had to be opened obediently even here, but anyone caught in would have to peel off their skin even if they were not dead, which can be called a purgatory on earth.

Such an elegant small courtyard is at odds with the prestige of the Inspectorate.

Mu Huaichuan closed the wooden door of the small courtyard, and gave her a warning glance.

Shen Sitang withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and waited quietly.

Mu Huaichuan walked around the small vegetable garden and walked along the cobbled path to the backyard, which was another scene.

The entrance is a clear lake with lotus flowers blooming by the lake. There is a wooden plank road on the lake. At the end of the wooden plank road is an octagonal pavilion. In the octagonal pavilion, two figures are playing chess. There is a fishing platform outside the octagonal pavilion.

Mu Huaichuan stopped outside the octagonal pavilion, bowed his hands silently, not daring to disturb the two who were playing chess.

After a while, he heard a thick and steady voice: "What's the matter?"

Mu Huaichuan replied respectfully: "To the governor, Shen Sitang, the daughter of Shen Mingyi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, beat the grievance drum, and wanted to find out the truth on behalf of her father, and make meritorious deeds."

The Yan Dynasty did have the law of exempting from punishment for the crime and meritorious deeds of the father.

"Oh?"

Mu Huaichuan added: "Governor, Shen Sitang threatened that within three hours, the cause of the third prince's death will be found out."

The Dugong became interested, and there was a little ambiguous smile in his thick and steady voice: "The Inspectorate stayed up all night and tried everything but failed to find any clues. She really only needs three hours?"

Mu Huaichuan didn't dare to hide it: "Shen Sitang said that if he can't find out, he will be guilty of the same crime as his father, and he is willing to go to the execution ground to be buried with the third prince."

The Dugong asked indifferently: "How does she plan to investigate?"

Mu Huaichuan sweated on his forehead, and said bravely, "She's going to open the coffin and dissect the body!"

Duke Du's movements obviously paused, and he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Mu Huaichuan couldn't hide his surprise. The Dugong didn't even bestow her death, but asked the sixth prince's opinion?He couldn't help but look at the incomparably luxurious man sitting across from Duke Du.

I saw that person making a move without hesitation, and then hooked the corner of his mouth: "Yes."
