Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 222 The corpse cannot be faked

Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan who had already walked away, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do I always see him?"

Bei Yao heard this and smiled faintly: "She has to go to the Prince's Mansion to report. This is the only way she can go."

"Hey, didn't Third Master care about him at all before? How come he knows more about him now than I do?"

After Shen Yichuan finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and changed his words: "I was wrong. Since he arrived in the capital, the Third Master has been paying attention to him. He first gave him a courtyard and a place to live, and then protected him in front of Song Tiancheng and saved his life. This friendship makes me a little jealous, right?"

Shen Yichuan spoke jokingly.

"Do we need to explain the friendship between you and me?" Bei Yao asked calmly, "Is there anything wrong with my treatment of you over the years?"

"But I treat you well. Everyone knows that the number one young master in the capital has only one close friend, the third prince?" Shen Yichuan asked back.

He slowly waved his fan and continued, "The eldest son of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the head of the Poetry Pavilion, what face did I not give you? The prince showed me kindness, but I ignored him."

"Yes, thank you, Master Shen. If it weren't for Master Shen, how could Beiyao be what it is today?"

Bei Yao echoed repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichuan immediately lost interest and turned to the matter at hand, "Third Master, who do you think is behind this farce? What is their intention?"

In his early years, the emperor was not an emperor and had only one concubine in his mansion.

That is the queen today.

Even after he ascended the throne, the emperor still took concubines according to the empress's wishes. Although there were many concubines in the harem, there were not many princes and princesses.

Now, in the royal family, the only one who is qualified to compete with the prince for the position of crown prince is the prince.

Shen Yichuan and Beiyao grew up together and are as close as brothers, so he knows Beiyao very well.

In the past, Beiyao would not fight or compete for the queen.

But it's different now.

Bei Yao's heart had changed since he decided to train the third young lady of the Song family.

Transfer Xie Xiaocheng back to the capital, and let Zhang Yue go to the whole country to fight the enemy.

Even now, refusing the marriage and leaving the palace was all Bei Yao's plan.

These plans are like stars, inconspicuous in the vast starry sky, but one day, they will become a galaxy and pave the way for Bei Yao to ascend the throne.

And he will do his best to help.

"You are a scholar, why do you think there is conspiracy in everything you see? Could it be that the owner of this store accidentally discovered these bodies? The bodies cannot be faked."

"It's true that corpses can't be faked. You can tell at a glance that some of these corpses have been dead for more than ten years, and some have been dead recently. But don't you find it strange? A man bought the Wei family's shop and started construction immediately after signing the contract. Ordinary people would just change their clothes before starting construction, but he arranged for people to dig the ground, and he dug three feet deep into the ground."

Shen Yichuan was a little thirsty after talking, so he drank a cup of tea and said, "Forget it. Did you hear that most of the dead were from Yueyuan Tower? Do you think that Lady Hua from Yueyuan Tower will cause a big commotion in the capital when she hears about this?"

"According to what you said, there is a master behind this case. Who could he be? The censor is the prince's man. The prince will naturally not shoot himself in the foot. As for me, if I knew about this, don't you think I would have exposed the Wei family long ago and let them kill so many people?"

Bei Yao leaned back in his chair, speaking in a casual tone and casually.

Shen Yichuan said: "So, we should know who is behind this matter."

"Do you know what the person behind this is doing? She is just letting the world see the true face of the Wei family. Speaking of which, if this matter is really arranged by someone, then he is really a rare righteous person who is not afraid of power. If there is a chance, I must get to know him."

Beiyao couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

Although he didn't know how Xu Yuan knew there were so many corpses under the brothel, he roughly understood what Xu Yuan wanted to do.

Shen Yichuan looked at Bei Yao in confusion: "Third Master, do you know who that person is?"

"I don't know, but I think I'll know soon."

Bei Yao stood up, patted the snow off his body and said, "I must have chosen a location for my palace. I also need to pick out some furniture today. Mr. Shen, do you want to come with me?"

Shen Yichuan shook his head and said, "I'm not a girl, how can I be good at choosing these? If it were you, you should marry a concubine early, and there would be women in the backyard who would take care of these for you."

"If it's so good to have a wife, why don't you get one?"

Bei Yao said, his tone lengthened a little, "Oh, I forgot, your marriage can only be decided by the Empress Dowager, not you. I advise you to try harder as soon as possible. I heard that family has set their sights on Xu Yuan, the new noble in the capital. If you delay, you will lose your beauty."

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Shen Yichuan said with a fake smile: "If the Third Master wants to get married, Ji Huai can also come to the palace now and ask the Queen Mother to grant you a marriage with the Third Miss of the Song Family. How about a double happiness?"

Bei Yao didn't answer, turned around and walked away, replying with a word from a distance.

"Mr. Shen, the weather is cold now, and the fan is no longer useful. Even if it is just to show off, others should smile when they see it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yichuan put away the fan in his hand and wanted to throw it over. The servant beside him hurriedly said, "Sir, that's the Third Prince!"

"I know, otherwise I would have flipped the table long ago." Shen Yichuan was very angry.

"That's right. I don't know what's wrong with the third prince these days. He likes to joke so much." The servant sighed.

When I met the Third Prince before, he was always serious.

Sometimes, even when you smile, you feel a chill down your spine.

But these two days are different, I don’t know what happened?

"Although he looks a bit annoying, it's better than being so lifeless before."

Shen Yichuan murmured, then stood up and said, "Alright, the government will come here, the Third Master has left, let's go back to the mansion."

"Yes." The servant responded.

The carriage had been surrounded outside. The servant followed Shen Yichuan and saw many people coming to inquire about the situation. He couldn't help but say, "This Third Master always makes things very lively. If he hadn't come early, today would be..."

Shen Yichuan stopped suddenly.

The servant was interrupted. He looked at Shen Yichuan who was motionless and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yichuan turned around and saw a hustle and bustle all around him, with endless noises. He was in the middle of it all and suddenly felt as if the world was spinning around him.

"She has to go to the Prince's Mansion to report. This is the only way she can go."

"If this matter was really arranged by someone, then he is indeed a rare righteous person who is not afraid of power. If there is a chance, I must get to know him."

"I also remembered that woman, that woman. She was the courtesan of Hua Hao Yue Yuan Tower. She was brought into the Wei Mansion three months ago! Could it be that the Wei family killed someone and buried her here on purpose?!"

"There are so many people, I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River, not to mention that the Wei family is big and powerful, and they are the imperial censors. They insist that we killed the people. What should I do?"

"The entire Dali Temple could become his accomplice. The first person to bear the brunt should be Wei Chenyi, who rose to the position of Imperial Censor after the Xu family was wiped out."

Wei family, Wei Chenyi.

Shen Yichuan's hand at his side suddenly clenched into a fist.

He said, "Let's not go back home yet, let's go to the Prince's Mansion."
