Dayan first waste material

Chapter 23 His Royal Highness the Prince
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, Shen Cao couldn't care less about counting the money rewarded by Emperor Yongqing, and stepped forward excitedly.

"Have you made a breakthrough? Have you been promoted to the prefecture level?"

Shen Sitang nodded: "I was promoted last night."

"Didn't you last night..."

Shen Cao covered her mouth in the middle of her words. Last night they waited until late at night and Shen Sitang didn't wake up. They didn't know when they would go back to the room. Anyway, it must be very late, that is to say, she started practicing in the middle of the night at most. Yes, just... broke through?
Shen Mingyi's eyes were red, he patted Shen Sitang's arm and nodded continuously: "Good boy, father knew that you would become a blockbuster, you are her child!"

It was obvious who she was referring to. After Shen Mingyi finished speaking, he realized that Shen Cao was beside him, and looked at her apologetically.

Shen Cao raised her hand and wiped her eyes indiscriminately, and said with a weeping smile: "Today is really a good day, sir, take out the good wine at home during lunch, how about we have a good celebration?"

Shen Mingyi held her hand in the palm of his hand and patted it: "Okay, listen to Madam."

Shen Cao turned her head to look at Shen Lezhi: "Go and order the dining room to make more good dishes for lunch."

Shen Lezhi blessed her body and responded: "My daughter will go now."

Mrs. Shen Cao is really happy. Shen Sitang has studied hard for many years and has been stagnant at the entry level and has been unable to be promoted. Therefore, the world laughs and calls her the number one waste material in the Yan Dynasty. Although she is a stepwife, Shen Sitang is not her own. Tang was raised by her, she was looked down upon by others, and her face was dull.

Shen Sitang's hair was sticky and uncomfortable, Shen Cao ordered someone to prepare hot water for her, she took a comfortable bath and went to the front hall.

Shen Cao and Shen Lezhi sat in the front hall drinking tea and chatting, while Shen Xueyi was playing in the front yard, accompanied by several servants.

"Sister." Shen Lezhi has always been well-behaved. When he saw her, he stood up to greet her, and only sat back in his seat after she was seated.

Shen Cao took a sip of tea, and said to Shen Sitang: "I have put all your majesty's rewards into the treasury for you. If you want to use them, just tell me. I will have someone give you the brocade that was rewarded by His Majesty the Sixth Highness before." One person has two bodies, and I, your father and Xueyi have one body."

Shen Sitang replied: "Didn't Your Majesty reward you with another twenty bolts of silk and satin? You and your father will make a few more suits. Xueyi is growing his body, so it's enough to wear it."

Mrs. Shen Cao had her plan, and said: "Your Majesty will reward you by the end of the year and make a few thick ones, and the rest will make a few thin ones in the spring of next year. There are plenty of clothes at home, and they are enough to wear."

Hearing this, Shen Sitang stopped talking, turned around and saw Shen Xueyi who was playing carefree in the front yard, and casually mentioned: "Should Xueyi go to school?"

Shen Cao was stunned, as if she didn't expect Shen Sitang to care about her younger brother's studies.

Shen Lezhi covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, it's time for Xueyi to go to school, so that he won't have to keep his mouth shut."

Mrs. Shen Cao hummed: "Then I'll ask your father to ask if Yunwu Academy will accept people this year. If not, we will have to wait until next year."

The three chatted casually until Shen Mingyi came back for dinner.

Shen Mingyi took off his official hat, pinched his brows and said: "Madam, the celebration of Qian Ning's promotion to prefecture level may have to be postponed until dinner."

Shen Cao asked again: "Did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal. The real culprit who murdered the third prince will be executed at the Meridian Gate today at [-]:[-] noon. His Majesty ordered me to supervise and execute him."

Shen Sitang frowned: "Father, can I go?"

"What are you doing?" Shen Mingyi looked at her.

"Go and watch the sentence. Anyway, I found him out."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Sitang shook his head: "Not afraid."

Shen Mingyi thought so too, his daughter knows how to dissect an autopsy, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

"That's all right, you can go with me after lunch."

Knowing that Shen Mingyi had official duties, Shen Cao immediately ordered the maid to serve the food, and the father and daughter went out after eating.

Meridian Gate.

The people in the capital like to join in the fun, and when they learned that someone was going to be beheaded for public display today, they gathered at the Meridian Gate with the officials escorting the prisoner, pointing at Li Guichuan on the execution platform and chirping.

Li Guichuan was the real culprit who murdered the third prince, because he wanted revenge, and Qinglan used to be a member of Yichunyuan, so Emperor Yongqing ordered not to publicize this matter, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the royal family.

The people in the capital only know that this person is the murderer who murdered the third prince, but they don't know why or how.

Shen Sitang hides in the crowd, she is not interested in watching others be beheaded, the reason why she came to the Meridian Gate to watch the execution is to verify one thing.

At [-]:[-] noon, Shen Mingyi threw out the token and said loudly: "Execution!"

As soon as the words fell, the flesh-and-blood executioner raised his sword high and swung it down again. Li Guichuan's blood spattered on the spot, and his head fell to the ground.

There were many frightened screams in the crowd, but Shen Sitang stared intently at the blood stains on the execution platform, and his hands hanging on both sides tightened abruptly.

Fuchsia!
Li Guichuan's blood was also cherry red, her guess was right!

Be it Qinglan or Li Guichuan, they are just pawns manipulated by others.

Shen Sitang had been wondering before, why was Qing Lan the only person in Li's mansion who was given poison?

Even though Li Guichuan gave an explanation when he pleaded guilty, she still felt something was wrong. Li Guichuan's reasons were too far-fetched. Qinglan was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was only eight or nine years old ten years ago. How could Li Guichuan know that she had to use such a method? In order to make Qinglan submit obediently?Maybe she was happy for the sake of glory and wealth?

He didn't have to do that, did he?

So Li Guichuan is not necessarily the murderer. Assuming there is someone behind him, why did Li Guichuan sacrifice a daughter to set up this situation?
He had to do this, he would die if he didn't!
Shen Sitang boldly guessed that Li Guichuan was also poisoned!

When he was in the Procuratorate, Shen Sitang wanted to go to the torture hall to see Li Guichuan, just to see what color his blood was, but Chen Yuean couldn't help but dragged her away, and Emperor Yongqing also believed that Li Guichuan was the murderer.

She is not stupid, she knows that this case should come to an end, and the consequences of further investigation are not something she can bear, nor the Shen family can bear.

But she was not feeling well. After Shen Sitang verified her conjecture, she clearly understood that this case is not over yet with her!

Shen Mingyi handled his official duties and called Shen Sitang over.

"I still have something to do in the Ministry of Punishment for my father, so you go back first."

Shen Sitang thought of something and said, "Father, I still have something to do."

Shen Mingyi looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter with you?"

The case is over, isn't it?
"The Sixth Highness asked me to go to Zhulu Racecourse to learn how to ride a horse in Weishi. I have to go, or I will be late."

Shen Mingyi rang the alarm: "It's His Highness the Sixth Highness again!"

"Father, I won't tell you anymore, let's go."

Shen Sitang ran away after finishing speaking, Shen Mingyi's outstretched hand was hanging in the air, and finally heaved a heavy sigh.

-

The racecourse at Zhulu was extremely quiet today, the racecourse was to be used for the Junting Banquet, and the idlers had already been ordered not to enter.

Only when Shen Sitang arrived at the Zhulu Racecourse did she realize that the person who will teach her how to ride a horse today is not the horse trainer in the racecourse, but Jun Tingyan himself!
Tang Yihui, the personal bodyguard of the Junting Banquet, made a gesture of invitation to Shen Sitang: "Miss Shen, His Highness is waiting for you, go in quickly."

Shen Sitang felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He smiled at Tang Yihui and moved step by step with heavy steps.

Before she could move into the racecourse, Tang Yihui suddenly heard a loud voice: "Please refer to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
