Chapter 371 Death without Evidence

There was silence for a few breaths in the hall.

It seemed that everyone was shocked by Shan Shen's speech and did not react.

Until someone exclaimed in astonishment, like hot water dripping into a frying pan, there was a lot of chatter.

The disappearance of the East Palace guard was quite surprising, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and no one said that a guard would not become a victim.

But, collecting gambling debts? Robbery? Either way, it sounds like the guards are being unreasonable.

Is this what people in the East Palace and people around the prince should do?

Do not!

This is not what a serious person should do!

Some were surprised, some were shocked, some were puzzled, all kinds of eyes fell on Shan Shen, all curious about what evidence Shuntian Mansion had obtained to be able to speak like this.

There are also some officials who are bold, or they are relatives of the emperor and have extraordinary status, so they raise their heads and look at Li Shao.

Li Shao felt a chill running down his back and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It was clear that he was still questioning Shan Shen a moment ago, but within a few words, the situation turned around.

The Holy Master looked at Shan Shen seriously, then turned to look at Li Shao: "Is this happening?"

Li Shao couldn't help but swallowed.

He was caught off guard, but he also knew that he could not recognize it: "My son and I only know that he returned to his hometown, and no one else has heard about it."

But how did Shan Shen know?

The only people who knew about the events before and after Geng Baoyuan disappeared were Liu Xun, Qian Hu and Eunuch Hu.

That day, he was furious in the East Palace, but other palace residents retreated far away. Logically speaking, they only saw him kicking and cursing people, but they couldn't hear anything specific.

Liu Xun was exiled, Qian Hu was sent to hard labor, and Eunuch Hu was beheaded on trial...

More than half a year has passed. Where did Shuntian Mansion dig up the news?

Li Shao was extremely puzzled. He lowered his eyes and looked at the waist card, as if he was puzzled as to how this thing could appear.

After hearing Li Shao's answer, the Holy Emperor was noncommittal. After pondering for a while, he asked Shan Shen in a deep voice: "Or, or? When Aiqing investigates the case, does he use 'or' to decide the case?"

Long Yan was displeased.

Shan Shen complained repeatedly in his heart.

He didn't dare to raise his head to look at His Majesty, nor did he look at the faces of Ruan Shangshu and Shi Rui beside him. He braced himself and braced himself.

What are you afraid of?

He, Shan Shen, was the one who told the civil and military officials about the earth-shattering night in Chenmi Hutong in the Jinluan Palace and at the great court meeting!

Compared with the feat that day, what is today?

How can a person who has been on the Xingban list be afraid of a child test?

Shan Shen recounted the entire story, from digging out the cards, to searching through records to find out the confessions of Qian Hu and Liu Xun, to investigating gambling houses...

At the moment, all the evidence and clues are missing, but given some time, we will be able to find more clues.

After Shan Shen finished speaking, there were many soft conversations in the hall, which combined together made a buzzing sound.

The Holy Spirit asked: "Why didn't you repay it at that time?"

"Qian Hu and Liu Xun seemed to be at odds with each other, and they seemed to be at each other's throats, but they couldn't explain why." Shan Shen was prepared for these foreseeable problems, "Geng Baoyuan disappeared in Yuanyue, and was with Chen Mi Hutong The matter has nothing to do with it, so it was not reported because of these two points."

Li Shao frowned when he heard this. He was actually tricked by those two bastards!

Although Liu Xun never admitted it, he did give some "hints" to Geng Baoyuan and the others. Qian Hu did not have the guts to rob people, and Geng Baoyuan was nowhere to be seen. No matter how he disappeared, it actually had nothing to do with him, Li Shao, from the beginning to the end.

He didn't know anything about it beforehand, and he didn't even think about robbing other girls.

The fatal thing that happened behind his back, and you still bit him in the end, biting him in again?

Those first few kicks were really light!

"They were contradictory and talking nonsense. Master Shan didn't believe it at the time, but he believes it now?" Li Shao said angrily.

"I have found this treasure," Shan Shen asked, "Your Highness, where did Geng Baoyuan go?"

Li Shao glanced at his father beside him and repeated his previous remarks.

"You said he handed over the resignation?" Shan Shen asked. When Li Shao nodded, he added, "Since he handed over the resignation, the waist card should be taken back by the East Palace. How could he live outside the palace?"

Li Shao gritted his teeth. Although his mind was in a state of confusion, his thoughts were quick: "The people below are not careful in their work."

This reason was embarrassing, but his father had punished him earlier for not being strict in managing the East Palace, so Li Shao moved it out for use.

After all, for the same reason, the punishment will be the same.

"Geng Baoyuan disappeared on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but on the ninth day of the lunar month, all the gambling houses in the capital mentioned that the Geng family's father came to look for his son. The one accompanying him should be Qian Hu," Shan Shen looked at Li Shao and said "According to the neighbors of Geng's family, Qian Hu went to Geng's house to inquire about news when Geng Baoyuan didn't show up for his job. He went to Geng's house on the eighth and ninth day of the lunar month and accompanied him all night to look for someone.

If Geng Baoyuan had handed in his resignation letter before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Qian Hu should not have found someone because of his absence from work.

If he hadn't handed it over long ago, when did Geng Baoyuan, your highness, who suddenly disappeared, hand over the resignation letter to the East Palace? "

Li Shao's face turned red.

He looked at Shan Shen and the civil and military minister standing below, and felt his father's eyes on him beside him...

How to explain?

At that time, the image of waking up in Shuntian Mansion and being questioned by Shan Shen on that rainy dawn came into my mind, superimposed with the scene at this moment.

Not wonderful.

That time I was able to throw down my sleeves and leave from Shuntian Mansion, but now it is impossible to walk out of Jinluan Palace regardless of it.

Li Shao racked his brains, clasping his hands tightly on the armrests, his knuckles turned white: "Master Shan, are you questioning my lying?

Geng Baoyuan was indeed a guard of the East Palace, but that was all. I had no need to lie to protect him.

His resignation was handed to the then general manager, Eunuch Hu. I knew that he wanted to accompany my father back to his hometown to recuperate, so it was natural. I did not think that he might deceive me.

As for the hidden meaning, I really don’t know.

Since he is a gambler, it is not strange for him to be chased for debts, and it is not strange for him to be chased for debts. On the contrary, I am surprised that Mr. Shan would think that a gambler would not deliberately deceive me.

What he did outside the palace is his own business. The conflict between Qian Hu and Liu Xun is also their business. Mr. Shan wants to investigate the case and go to them. I can't find anything out.

My rule in the East Palace was not strict in the past. I admit this and I reflect on it, but I did not teach Geng Baoyuan how to gamble. He really did commit robbing, and it was not my instigation.

I will go back to the court later and give the people in the East Palace a good beating, so that they will never let such a mess happen again. "

A long story, finished in one breath.

Perhaps a little nervous, Li Shao's speaking speed gradually increased, but fortunately there was no slip of the tongue.

After he finished speaking, he briefly reviewed his words and nodded secretly in his mind, thinking that he had said it well.

He was indeed caught off guard.

He did hide something.

But the most fundamental thing is that he did not let Geng Baoyuan rob anyone, nor did he let Geng Baoyuan enter the gambling house.

Don't try to cover this kind of nonsense on his head.

He said that Geng Baoyuan handed over the dictionary, which means he handed it over. If Shan Shen didn't believe it, he would cut off his head and go underground to ask Eunuch Hu.

As for that bastard Geng Baoyuan...

Li Shao's teeth were itching, and he wanted to know where Geng Baoyuan was.

"But," Shan Shen said with a serious look, "Eunuch Hu is dead, and there is no evidence of his death. And according to Qian Hu, you have a strong preference for Liu Xun's mate, and the girl you want to rob is very similar to that mate... …”

Another bucket of hot water was poured into the oil pan, causing the entire hall to be stunned.

It turns out that there is such an inside story behind the robbery?

There is nothing so exciting in the storybook, right?

Li Shao was really dumbfounded. What on earth did those two bastards say in Shuntian Mansion?

Have all these details been explained?

And this Shan Shen really has bad intentions. He didn’t mention it in the previous narration. He had just dumped him, and Shan Shen just brought it up again?

Who knows how many more details Shan Shen has hidden!

Li Shao's face turned blue and white, his chest heaved, and he couldn't tell whether he was right or wrong.

What if he says something else and is blocked by Shan Shen again?

"What nonsense!" But he couldn't sit still and wait for death. "What nonsense! My majestic prince, what kind of girl do I like, and I need my subordinates to secretly kidnap her? Father, you can't believe it!"

The Holy Master had a gloomy face.

To be fair, he believed the previous things.

Geng Baoyuan's disappearance is a fact. No matter how hard Liu Xun and Qian Hu fight, they won't be able to "rob people" out of thin air. Most of those stupid things have happened. The only question is, how much is Shaoer involved?

Whether he was unaware of the incident from beginning to end, or whether he concealed it after the incident, or was the mastermind behind it, His Majesty still needs to discern.

As a father, the Holy Father did not want his son to be wronged; but just because he was a father, and precisely because he had thought of giving Shao'er a hard time, he lacked a legitimate reason.

Shao'er has been very peaceful in recent days. Although the dog came from Yongji Palace, he did not instigate him to make trouble. The reason has not come yet, and Shan Shen gave him a deeper reason...

If the treatment is not strict, it is too light.

But inciting and abetting the crime seems too serious.

This degree needs to be further grasped.

When Li Shao saw that the Holy Emperor was still silent, he became anxious and said to Shan Shen: "Master Shan, you can't rely on those rumors to convict me, right?"

In the middle of the hall, Shan Shen didn't seem surprised by Li Shao's reaction. Instead, he said: "Your Highness is absolutely right. The whole story needs to be investigated clearly. I hope your Highness will forgive me for a while. This case cannot be fully investigated before it is sealed."

Li Shao frowned.

Shan Shen obviously came prepared, how could he find out?

Besides, did Geng Baoyuan really disappear because of gambling?

He listened to what Qian Hu and Liu Xun said at the time, but he did not completely believe it. In Li Shao's opinion, Geng Baoyuan was more likely to have failed in the robbery and was killed.

Since he was killed, his waist card would not show up sooner or later, and now he was dug out by Shan Shen...

I'm afraid there are a lot of twists and turns here!

Li Shao didn't trust Shan Shen and wanted to change the yamen manager.

The Holy Emperor did not let him speak, and only said to Shan Shen: "Yes or no, let me check carefully."

Shan Shen was busy responding.

After such an incident happened, there was no need for others, neither minor nor serious, to report on this occasion. Eunuch Cao announced his "retreat from the court."

The Holy Spirit strode down the Jinluan Hall.

Li Shao followed Shan Shen down, and when he passed by Shan Shen, he pursed his lips and glanced at him.

Just be careful with your ears, watch your nose, and your nose watch your heart, just pretend you don't know.

After the honor guard left, Shan Shen was suddenly surrounded by Ruan Shangshu and Shi Rui.

"Master Shan, quietly, the ground is thundering!"

"Isn't this different from what we agreed? If you want to change your mind, you should at least talk to us!"

"You are so courageous. You are talking eloquently in the Jinluan Palace. Have you ever thought about us?"

Shan Shen rubbed his stiff face.

He was prepared for His Majesty's wrath, but in fact His Majesty was very restrained and much calmer than at Chen Mi Hutong.

And since he has passed the holy level, why would he care about what Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment say.

"My lords, don't worry," Shan Shen smiled politely, "I didn't say that the two of you knew about it as soon as you found out the cards. If the Holy One wants to blame you, you can't blame them. I One person does the work and one person is responsible.”

Ruan Shangshu:......

Shi Rui:......

Shan Shen added: "I thought about it carefully and reported it truthfully. However, the matter is serious and I really don't want to implicate you two. I also have good intentions."

The smile became more genuine. After smiling, Shan Shen cupped his hands and said, "We still need to investigate the case, so I'll take the first step."

After saying that, Shan Shen walked out of the Jinluan Palace and jogged down the trail.

The Qi may not be completely smooth, but it may be half smooth.

Lin Yue walked two steps behind and came out of the hall. He twirled his fingers and looked at Shan Shen's back as he quickly left.

No one from the Jin family entered the court.

Today in the Jinluan Palace, the only person who knew about Geng Baoyuan's kidnapping target was Lin Yu.

He knew that Geng Baoyuan almost succeeded. It was Yun Yan who caught up with the carriage, and Shen Chen arrived, subdued Geng Baoyuan and the handlebar, and settled the situation.

The Jin family decided to keep it secret at that time, which was considered a wise choice.

It is not easy to sue the prince. In the end, only Jin Shu and the Jin family will be harmed.

Everyone pretended to be peaceful and did not leak the news. Fa'an Temple only knew that they had helped Jin Shu, but they did not know the whereabouts of Geng Baoyuan.

Ordinarily, since Geng Baoyuan fell into the hands of Shen Chen, that is, Xu Jian, how could his waistband be dug up from the burial ground of other cases?

It was impossible for Xu Jian to make such a mistake.

That is to say, Xu Jian did it on purpose. He was using Geng Baoyuan's incident to give the Holy Emperor a reason.

This step was thoughtful yet subtle.

Moreover, based on Lin Yun's understanding of Lin Yunyan, he knew that his daughter would never let Jin Shu and the Jin family be involved in this matter, and Geng Baoyuan's disappearance would not be linked to the Jin family.

Without the most important part of "victim", if you want to be "justified", you are missing some weight.

Of course, this amount cannot be replenished.

The Holy Will is the final word, it just depends on how Shuntian Mansion adds to it and covers His Highness the Crown Prince's head.

On the other side, Li Shao stepped up and followed the Lord.

The father and son entered the imperial study room one after another.

Li Shao looked at his father's displeased expression and said hurriedly: "I really don't know about Geng Baoyuan's bad things. He gambled and robbed people, and I didn't know anything about it beforehand."

His prior naturally meant before Qian Hu told him.

The Holy Master sat down on the chair and said in a deep voice: "Shao'er, I told you last time that if your subordinates commit crimes, just because you don't know about them does not mean that you are not at fault. If you are not strict in your governance, you will not be able to employ people clearly. , it’s just wrong.”

Li Shao was speechless for a moment. He looked at his father and didn't say a word for a long time.
