Chapter 141
Ye Yingying: "I know."

Ye Yao: "Can I live in the second sister's yard forever?"

Ye Yingying was surprised, but she didn't refuse. Looking at those hopeful eyes, she couldn't refuse either:

"You can stay as long as you want."

With a satisfactory answer, he closed his eyes.

Ye Yingying sat for a long time, and when she saw that he was fast asleep, she got up and went to the next door.

After she left, Ye Yao, who was supposed to be asleep, opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

The clarity in the eyes faded and turned dark.

The second sister didn't ask, but he knew that she would definitely investigate the murderer.

He saw it, but he couldn't say it.

Because that person is not something the current second sister can handle.
-
At that time, white mist enveloped the entire imperial city.

In the Forbidden City, smoky, like a fairyland.

Above the Golden Luan Hall, Xia Feng sat firmly on the dragon chair, and after listening to the plausible accusation from the Minister of War below, he looked at the military officers:
"Zhou Dong, what do you have to say?"

Zhou Dong came out and said respectfully:
"My Majesty, the cause of death of Ma Shangshu's son Ma Yuanming has been found out, and the real culprit is being investigated right now. It is not a cover-up as Ma Shangshu said."

"What's the real culprit to be investigated!" Ma Nan stepped out of the civil service team, with a stern look on his face, "We have all the evidence, and Princess Xiangrui is the real culprit!"

Qian Chengzhi came out and saluted the emperor respectfully: "I report to the emperor that what Ma Shangshu said is pure slander.

"When Ma Yuanming died, my daughter was in the mansion, how can I get to a place like Guqulou to kill your son Ma Shangshu?
"Furthermore, to kill a person requires a motive.

"My little girl has never met Ma Yuanming, let alone has any entanglements, so why would she do such a thing?
"Zhou Shoubei has never had any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases in his hands. He said that the case was not caused by the young girl, but that the real culprit was someone else.

"If he finds out the real murderer, he will give the little girl justice and comfort Ma Yuanming's spirit in heaven. This will be a good thing for everyone.

"I don't know why Ma Shangshu is in such a hurry to finalize the case?"

Xia Feng: "I believe in Zhou Dong's ability. Since this case is suspicious, then you should investigate it carefully."

Ma Nan expressed dissatisfaction with this statement: "Your Majesty, the current Zhou Dong is not the upright Zhou Dong he used to be, he is clearly covering up!"

"Ma Shangshu must be held accountable for saying such things in front of the emperor and all civil and military officials.

"I, Zhou Dong, walk upright and sit upright, how can I be wiped out by just one or two slanderous words of yours!"

Zhou Dong had a candid expression on his face.

Ma Nan asked: "That day in front of the prime minister's mansion, there were all the witnesses and material evidence, all pointing to Princess Xiangrui, why didn't you arrest him?"

Zhou Dong: "The testimony Ma Shangshu mentioned did not personally witness Princess Xiangrui killing someone.

"The physical evidence is only a dagger, and it does not mean that it belongs to the princess.

"Even if someone saw the princess appearing at that time, and he was very close to Ma Yuanming.

"This only shows that she is suspected, but does not prove that she is the murderer.

"I would like to ask the officials present, in this case, can we arrest people directly?"

Ma Nan looked angry: "You are sophistry!"

Zhou Dong: "I have been an official for many years, and I only know that people can be arrested pending trial when the evidence is solid.

"And the suspect, Princess Xiangrui, is already under the care of the officials. Once there is conclusive evidence that she did it, she can be directly arrested."

Ma Nan: "You are the one who investigates. Even if you find evidence, will you show it?"

Zhou Dong: "Of course it will."

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear. Yesterday Zhou Shoubei led people to surround the Guqu Tower. Is this an order from your Majesty?"

The head of the Shen family, Shen Tianlei, suddenly asked.

"Oh?" Xia Feng looked surprised, "There is such a thing?

"Zhou Dong, why is this?"

Zhou Dong looked solemn:

"If you go back to the emperor, the reason why I will do this is because Guqulou is the first place where the Ma Yuanming case took place, and everyone in it is suspected, and I want to investigate it carefully.

"Secondly, someone reported that in recent years, many children between the ages of eight and 12 have disappeared for no reason, and the last one was the young master of the Ye Mansion.

"His jade pendant fell at the side entrance of Guqu Building.

"Weichen felt that the successive incidents were all related to this Guqulou, so he took the initiative to bring people around here."

"Patriarch Ye, is there such a thing?" Xia Feng looked at Ye Hong.

Ye Hong frowned slightly: "It's true that my son hasn't come home for a few days, I always thought it was because I was fond of playing and missed the outside world.

"The second daughter, Ye Yingying, once made a fuss about sending someone to look for it. She must have reported the case to the guard, right?"

Zhou Dong: "It is indeed Miss Ye Er who found Weichen and said that her brother disappeared in Guqulou."

"Looking at Zhou Shoubei's appearance, the real culprit who killed my son has been found out?

"Or have these missing children you mentioned been found?"

Ma Nan showed a mocking expression.

Zhou Dong ignored his attitude, looked at Xia Feng who was sitting on the dragon chair and said:

"Your Majesty, the matter about the missing child is indeed true.

"Weichen's people found the switch leading to the underground secret room at the side door of Guqu Building.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that this secret room is an underground palace, it is extremely luxuriously built.

"A total of 51 children were found here, including the young master of the Ye Mansion and the homeless young master of the General Protector's Mansion.

"When Wei Chen found them, these children had different injuries on their bodies, but their faces were intact.

"These children have one thing in common, that is, they all have good looks.

"At present, the identity of each child has been verified and sent back to their respective homes."

What he said was that his own people had found the switch of the secret room, which could be regarded as taking the hatred on himself and protecting Ye Yingying.

Hearing such news, Xia Feng was furious: "Under the Son of Heaven, such a thing happened! Let me investigate!"

Zhou Dong: "My minister obeys the order!"

"This is a major matter, so it's not appropriate to let only one guard investigate it?" Shen Tianlei said with narrowed eyes.

"Zhou Dong's ability is obvious to all. Patriarch Shen thinks he is not suitable, so who is suitable?"

Ao Nai, the admiral of the Nine Gates, suddenly made a sound.

Zhou Dong: "Your Majesty, I have another discovery."

Xia Feng: "Speak!"

Zhou Dong: "After a thorough investigation overnight, we have locked down a suspect. It is Shen Yanzhi, the young master of the Shen residence."

"Nonsense!" Shen Tianlei yelled and interrupted him, "My son has been recuperating at home and has never been out!"

Zhou Dong: "Patriarch Shen, be safe and don't be impatient.

"After investigation, most of the people in Guqulou know that Shen Yanzhi is a frequent visitor to the building.

"But every time I went there, I was alone, but I didn't ask anyone to accompany me.

"This makes Wei Chen feel very strange.

"It is widely rumored that the young master of the Shen family loves beauty and has molested many girls from good families.

"When you come to such a place, you make such an unusual move. Why?"
