Dayan first waste material

Chapter 45

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

"Qian Ning, what are you doing in the dining room? Are you hungry?"

Shen Sitang's aura that had just been propped up suddenly collapsed. Brother Chen is really a bit cute sometimes, and she seriously doubts whether he has ever solved a case in the Inspector's Office!

"Shen... is Miss Shen hungry?" Steward Liu hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a flattering smile, "Old slave... this old slave ordered the dining room to bring food here, how dare you ask Miss Shen to go there in person."

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

"Stop!" He slapped the table and called to Guanshi Liu who was about to go out to explain to his servant.

Guanshi Liu trembled all over, and stopped in place, not daring to move.

Chen Yue'an strode forward, seeing that Liu Guanshi's forehead was covered with sweat, he avoided his eyes with guilt.

"Come on, watch him!"

"Yes!"

Two officials stepped forward and twisted Guanshi Liu's hands behind his back. Guanshi cried out in pain for a while, and the officials scolded him for being honest.

Chen Yue'an led a group of people into the side courtyard, but was stopped by the guards of Prince Gong's Mansion on the way. The inspector's office were all vicious, and directly knocked them down to the ground.

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

They rushed all the way to the door of the dining room, but were blocked by two heavenly warriors.

Chen Yue'an squinted his eyes and sneered: "There are two heaven-level warriors arranged in the mere dining room. I want to go in and see what is hidden inside!"

The two warriors knew that they were not Chen Yuean's opponents, so they said in a deep voice: "This is the important dining room of Prince Gong's residence, how can you be so presumptuous, if you let you in, the prince and concubine have problems with eating, how can the Inspectorate take care of it?" !"

"There's so much nonsense!" Chen Yue'an was impatient, and kicked the two of them to the ground, and they fell into the dining room clutching their chests.

The cooks and servants in the dining room stopped their work and looked at them.

Chen Yue'an took Shen Sitang into the dining room, and looked down at the two warriors: "How can the Inspector's Office wait to obstruct you, and dare to act presumptuously? Don't blame the censor for abolishing you!"

Shen Sitang wanted to clap his hands and applaud. I have to say that although Chen Yue'an is lazy, he is really crisp and neat when doing things.

"Qian Ning, what do you want to investigate?"

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

At this time, Chen Yue'an was like a loyal dog sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail at her. He didn't intend to slander or humiliate him, but just thought Brother Chen was cute.

Shen Sitang pointed to the stove: "I suspect that the register was transcribed recently, and the original register was most likely burned. Manager Liu said that the leather was wrapped in silver sheets, and the register could be burnt clean, but the silver sheets cannot."

Chen Yuean understood, and immediately ordered someone to check in the stove.

After a while, the official reported to them: "Report to the left censor, there is no silver piece."

Shen Sitang was not surprised: "It's normal if there is no silver. No matter how small the silver pieces are, they are still silver. Maybe they were secretly hidden by the people in the dining room. Search their bodies, and if they can't find them, go to their residences."

With a wave of Chen Yue'an's hand, the people in the dining room were quickly surrounded. The officials of the Inspectorate searched one by one, and they found two pieces of silver the size of the book cover from one person's arms.

The official handed the silver piece to Chen Yuean, and Chen Yuean laughed while holding the two pieces of silver in his hand.

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

Shen Sitang smiled confidently: "It's always safe to throw something like a roster. If it needs to be destroyed, it's safest to take it to the dining room. It can be burned cleanly, and it can also cover up the smell of burning leather. It’s just that they ignored the silver pieces in the roster, if they were iron pieces, they would have thrown them away long ago, but they are silver pieces, which are of some value anyway, so why is no one greedy for ink?”

With bright eyes, Chen Yue'an gave Shen Sitang a thumbs up: "It's amazing, Qian Ning!"

Shen Sitang grinned very helpfully.

The reason why the people in Prince Gong's mansion wanted to burn the roster was obviously that there was an extra person in the original roster, and that person was most likely an important clue to Princess Fuling's murder. That is to say, Prince Gong already knew that the murderer was not her!
Shen Sitang and Chen Yuean walked out with the silver piece, she whispered: "Nine out of ten people who disappeared on the roster are already dead, brother Chen, I need you to send someone to watch every move of the palace, we have to watch them Find out the identity of the other party before smuggling the corpse."

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

"En." Shen Sitang nodded: "That person must have died not long ago, otherwise the roster would have been changed long ago, there is no need to wait until now, if Princess Fuling killed someone, the best place to hide the body is Prince Gong government, it is easy to go wrong when it is shipped out.”

"You think they'll risk taking the body away?"

"Of course!" 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. Why? And..."

When Shen Sitang said this, he suddenly stopped, and Chen Yuean asked anxiously, "And what?"

"You said that Deputy Envoy Hu and Deputy Envoy Zeng found nothing at the gate of the city, which means that the person who killed Princess Fuling hasn't left the capital yet, and he most likely wants the body too."

Chen Yue'an nodded in agreement, and then clenched his fists: "It's only natural to kill and pay for life, but now we want to help that wicked girl catch the murderer, what a fool!"

Shen Sitang's eyes flashed, but he didn't say much.

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 Yuean put his hands behind his head and looked at her leisurely: "Are you hungry? Let's go to Huamanlou for dinner?"

Shen Sitang smiled: "Brother Chen, why do you want to go to Huamanlou every day? The meals at the Inspector's Office are also delicious. For your precarious salary, let's go back and eat?"

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, I have already been fined a year's salary, and it's all for nothing now."

Shen Sitang shook her head and laughed, suddenly she saw a slightly familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, she looked over intently, but there were only ordinary people in twos and threes left over there.

"What's the matter Qian Ning?" Seeing her stop, Chen Yuean turned her head to look over.

"Ah? It's nothing, let's go." Shen Sitang withdrew his gaze and followed as if nothing had happened.

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

Shen Sitang listened to his complaints with a smile, and argued with him from time to time, but her mind was on the figure she accidentally saw.

What she saw was not an acquaintance, what she was familiar with was the clothes he was wearing.

Those were clothes that were rarely seen in the capital city, because there were only temples in the capital city, but no Taoist temples, and the man was wearing the same Taoist uniform worn by the young Taoist priest she had seen at the gate of Jingyuan Temple a few days ago!
