There are many treasures in this country

Princess Nan'an died strangely.

This incident was like a spark that ignited a firecracker, and immediately caused an uproar in the court.

The ministers' memorials flew to Huan Ye's desk like snowflakes, asking the emperor to detain Shen Yan immediately to show that he had no intention of protecting him.Otherwise, the discord between the two countries has already occurred, and now people are taking advantage of it. I am afraid that the border will not be peaceful, and war will start.

When Yan Jun found Shen Yan angrily, he was busy at home making funeral arrangements.Entering Shen's residence from the main entrance, the whole road is white, plain curtains are hung in front of the porch and behind the house, funeral ceremonies are placed in the left room and the right room.

Eleven is proficient in Qinggong, and was urged by the housekeeper to fly up and down to pull banners.When Yan Jun entered the door, he was almost kicked out by him who was on the ground.

"My lord!" Eleven rushed forward, "Get up quickly, my lord, didn't you fall?"

Yan Jun didn't care to talk to him too much, he patted the soil and asked, "Where's Shen Yan?"

"The general is inside." Eleven Yao pointed to the inner courtyard, "Hey—the envoy of Nan'an Kingdom is also there!"

Yan Jun walked in hastily, and saw Shen Yan scratching his ears and arguing with a few people. He didn't know what he was talking about, his ears were flushed, and the Nan'an envoy was also full of anger.

"You came just in time!" Seeing a savior, Shen Yan rushed up and pulled him for help: "Tell them quickly, I can't make sense. They insisted that I killed the princess. My mind was flooded, so I made her do it well." very!"

Yan Jun rolled his eyes at him, turned back and cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the noble envoy, Yan Jun, the censor of the left capital. How can I not know how you feel? But just being in a hurry will not make things happen. You should come in for tea first, everyone. Speak calmly. If you have any doubts, let’s explain them one by one; Okay? If we just keep arguing like this, I’m afraid there will never be a conclusion.” At this point, he asked with a slight smile, “Aren’t you trying to reason?”

When those few people heard the words, they knew that although the lord in Yunhe's white robe in front of him spoke sincerely and had a kind attitude, he was much more powerful than General Shen, who had cold brows and sharp tongues, and he didn't need a knife to kill.

"My lord's words are very reasonable." A short and beautiful man said: "You and us go in and talk!"

Shen Yan hurriedly led them in and sat down, ordered someone to bring tea, pointed to the back of the house and said: "The princess's body has been taken away by the people of Dali Temple, and now it is waiting for Wu Zuo to examine it. The conscience of heaven and earth, since she came, we But she was treated with rich clothes and fine food, gold slaves and silver servants, without any neglect. Now that the cause of death has not been found out, how can you be sure that it is my fault?"

Just then the envoy sneered: "The general also said that conscience, your conscience is broken, the princess died here, you have to pay for your life!" .

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing at these few words, looked up and saw Yan Jun's gloomy face, coughed to cover it up, and continued: "The matter has not been found out, if it is really Shen's fault, I will immediately plead guilty, and I will not shirk, I will kill you." Cut it, take it as you please!"

Yan Jun also said: "Our emperor of the Celestial Dynasty attaches great importance to this matter, and has issued an order to have a detailed investigation by the yamen. We must not cover up and condone it. We must find out the reason and give your country an explanation, so as not to hurt the peace between the two countries. The matter has already happened, no matter how urgent it is, it will take a while, wait for the result to come out and then discuss it? Your envoy can rest assured that our Lord Qing Wei of Dali Temple will inform you of the progress of this matter in real time, and will never hide it. Your envoy today It is human nature to come to General Shen to speak out, and we understand it very well. The general and I will not go out and talk nonsense about today's affairs. We fold our arms in our sleeves, so as not to be criticized for not being ignorant of the rules and hurting you. The prestige of your country!"

Shen Yan echoed repeatedly, swearing to the sky that there would be no rumors about it.

Hearing this, those few people thought that the matter has not yet been clarified, and it is convenient for them to come to ask for an explanation. went.

Yan Jun sent them away, but when he came back, he changed his description, suddenly picked up Shen Yan's skirt, and asked sternly: "Tell me, did you kill the princess?"

"Are you sick?" Shen Yan shook off his hand: "No injustice, no enmity, why should I kill her?"

Yan Jun sneered, and said, "You don't have to pretend to be with me, you can't hide this from me! Can't you see it when you look at me? Let me tell you, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the secret will be revealed sooner or later. Tell me now that you can still think of a way, if you wait until Dali Temple finds out, it will be too late!"

Shen Yan's temples twitched, his face was like gold paper with anger: "Okay, okay, I killed them all! I'll go and kill those gangsters now, and I'll be clean when I pay for my life!" Then he went out run.

"Come back!" Yan Jun hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't be angry, I'm just testing you. This matter is too involved, I'm afraid that you can't stand the marriage offer, go astray, or say something ambiguous , the people below will misunderstand and help you, it’s not that they really don’t trust you.”

"It's just..." he said again, "I know you so well and I'm still suspicious, let alone other people? There are too many books to read you in the past few days."

There are several large boxes of memorials stored in Yushitai alone for the impeachment of Shen Yan, if most of them hadn't been suppressed, they would have flown to the palace at this moment.If so, those who were sent to the emperor's case still couldn't see it.

Xiao Suo happened to be the official who handled this kind of memorial, and any matter of impeachment had to be reported to the Yushitai for review before it could be submitted to the imperial court - after all, not everyone has the right to specialize in memorials.

The censor has no right to reject the memorial, nor has the right to withhold it. No matter how to deal with it, it must be handed over to the emperor for review before making a decision.But there is a loophole in this, and that is the time limit - the papers handed in after the incident is over are useless, and Shi Yushi can drown them directly, even if they hand them in early in the morning, they can deliberately withhold them and delay them until after the incident Re-approval will be useless at that time.

This is the reason why the so-called Hades is easy to see and little ghosts are hard to deal with.

The supervision department suddenly poured in so many papers, everyone was so busy that they complained a lot, and they only hoped that someone would come to help them, so that they would have time to relax.

Xiao Suo has never done anything wrong in his life, but he can't care about it now.He volunteered to take over all the memorials.Everyone knew that he was diligent and easy-going, so they didn't care and were happy to be lazy.

In the past two days, he didn't close his eyes for a moment. He lit the lamp and boiled oil in the yamen, carefully read the memorials one by one, and if there was a word that was unfavorable to Shen Yan, he quietly left it and sealed it into a box for storage.Those who speak to the point and have no major hindrance, he will stamp the seal of Yushitai, and prepare to send it to the Secretary of General Administration, and then present it to the imperial court.

This matter is easy to say, but it is really exhausting.Xiao Suo is timid and timid, to do such a deceitful thing, it is enough to suffer with fear.Fortunately, Shen Yan was safe at the moment, so he felt a little comforted.

However, Yushitai's side was suppressed, and something happened at Dali Temple.According to the results of Wu's autopsy, Princess Nan'an died of poisoning.

The envoy of Nan'an was also there at the time, and when he heard the result, he was furious and made a fuss in Honglu Temple for several days, insisting on the emperor's explanation.

Shen Yan is really baffled, he didn't lie, since Princess Nan'an came to visit, although he hasn't touched her, but he spent everything on food and clothing, originally he wanted to make up for the sin of delaying other people's life.

Poisoning is simply a fantasy.

But Dali Temple Minister Wei Lan has no grievances or enmities with him, and he still has quite a relationship on weekdays, and this matter is not his business, so he should not harm himself.And Wu Zuo has nothing to do with him, and he shouldn't do harm unless someone instigates him.

Could it be that someone wanted to put himself to death, so he poisoned the princess to frame her?

It's just that since the princess got married, she has been at home every day, living in seclusion, and has never had contact with outsiders.Her diet has also been tasted by servants in the mansion, and there is no possibility of problems.

Her death was strange, and the poison was even more strange.

In the afternoon, people from Dali Temple arrested all the maids and servants who were serving the princess.The general's mansion was overcast, and everyone was anxious and uneasy.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe.

Shen San'er was always alert, seeing that everyone had no idea, she said to Shen Yan: "My lord, I think this poison is really weird. Let's find a trusted doctor and find out what's going on with this poison. It's better than being caught blind."

"You're right," Shen Yan said worriedly, "it's time to figure it out, don't let people fool you. Go seal a bag of silver, go out and find a doctor with excellent medical skills, don't be stingy. It can't be an imperial doctor, it must be someone in the Jianghu who has nothing to do with this matter."

Shen San'er was about to respond, but suddenly heard Eleven say: "Master, there is a good candidate for this subordinate."

"Who is it?" Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Eleven said: "Master, do you still remember that when we were in Zhuoyang, we hired a doctor for Xiao... the doctor Ji Zi Yang Ji who came last? Although this man is not good-looking, he comes from a family of medicine, and his medical skills are very superb. He is quite knowledgeable in heresy, and his mind is right. He often holds free clinics. It is only because he is withdrawn and out of date, so his reputation is not high. Now we invite him here, isn't it just right?"

"Yes, yes." Shen Yan frowned, "It's just that Zhuoyang is far to the south, even if you go fast, it will take six days to go back and forth, and it will be too late when he comes."

Eleven giggled and said, "Don't worry about that. Ji Ziyang is now in the suburbs of Beijing. Before my master asked me to find out about Ouyang Xu, I happened to see Ji Ziyang in Anle County where he was sent down. He probably traveled Once there, it should still be there.”

Shen Yan was overjoyed, and ordered him to invite him overnight, and couldn't wait for a moment.

On Eleventh, the horse whipped the whip, and in the early morning of the next day, he quietly brought Ji Ziyang into the mansion through the back corner door, ordered someone to take him to freshen up, and went back to Shen Yan by himself: "Master, I have already brought it, now I am going to take a bath in the back."

"Bath?" Shen Yan had just woken up and was dressing up, "Why is it so troublesome to see me?"

Eleven approached and said: "I don't know, but when my subordinates were looking for him, he was sent to prison because he failed to save others. He was bailed out after asking someone to take care of the money. Now that he is unkempt, he really needs to be washed."

While speaking, Ji Ziyang was brought up.He still remembered Shen Yan, kowtowed to see him, and thanked him for saving his life.Shen Yan knew that he had been hungry for a long time, so he hurriedly ordered people to pass on the meal.

Ji Ziyang repeatedly refused, but he couldn't resist, so he had a meal with Shen Yan, and after listening to him explain the matter roughly, he said: "The grassroots will repay the general's life-saving kindness with all his heart. Other things can't be done, this is a matter of medical ethics , but can do a little bit of effort. The general only needs to let the grass people examine the princess's body, and it will not be difficult to find out what the poison is."

Shen Yan was in a dilemma: "I'm afraid the body won't be seen, Dali Temple has already sealed it up. I want you to find out how the poison got in, so I can follow the vine and catch the poisoner. This matter is so strange, the servants have tasted the princess's diet before she was alive, but somehow she got poisoned!"

Ji Ziyang said: "The general does not know something. It is not only the entrance that can poison people. There are also many strange poisons. Touching and sniffing can also harm people."

Suddenly, Shen Yan hurriedly ordered Eleven to take people to seal up all the things that Princess Nan'an touched, and said: "The servants who take care of her and the cooks who cook for her have all been arrested by Dali Temple. Now this is the only thing left, Mr. Ji please check it as soon as possible. I'm afraid that someone will come, and even this will be taken away as evidence."

Ji Ziyang took the order and immediately went to the house to check.

Shen Yan followed behind him, saw him touch left, smell right, checked carefully, even poured out the ashes in the incense burner, and found nothing wrong after all.

Eleven sighed: "Perhaps it was poisoned by servants, we don't know if we didn't see it."

Shen San'er's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said to Shen Yan: "Master, I just remembered something."

"What?" Shen Yan didn't care.

Shen San'er didn't answer, ran to the small study and brought a very simple wooden box, said: "Mr. Ji, check this to see if there is any problem?"

Ji Ziyang opened it and saw that it was a wedding candle for Longfeng. One of the wicks was burnt black, obviously burnt, but the other one was intact.

"General," he said with a slight sniff, frowning, "the smell of aconite on the wick must be very poisonous!"

Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat, and the blood on his face faded instantly—the pair of red candles was a wedding gift from Xiao Suo.
