Chapter 189 Fighting
When she saw Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan standing on the roof, she felt her legs go limp, and she would have collapsed to the ground if she hadn't been escorted by officials.

Soon, Wang Shangshu and Jing Zhaoyi yawned and came to the scene.

Wang Shangshu asked Xiang Yingyi: "Where is Prince Shen?"

Yingyi looked up at Shen Changyan on the roof and replied: "Master Shangshu, my master is here."

Wang Shangshu looked at Shen Changyan in surprise and asked in confusion: "Shen Shizi, why did you run to the roof? Could it be that you wanted to see the stars closer?"

Shen Changyan jumped off the roof and said with a smile, "I wouldn't go to the roof to watch the stars here."

Wang Shangshu smiled awkwardly: "What happened here, Prince Shen, please tell me in detail from the beginning."

Shen Changyan knew that he wanted to delay time and wait for reinforcements to come to rescue the proprietress of Yuelai Teahouse.

Tonight, Bai Zhi brought him to make a surprise attack, even he didn't know about it in advance, let alone others.

Apart from Baizhi, the only one who knows is Yingyi.

Therefore, Shen Changyan replied: "Master Shangshu, let's investigate the case first. I will tell you in detail later."

Then, without waiting for Wang Shangshu's response, he ordered Yingyi: "Search all the rooms in Yuelai Tea House immediately, don't miss any corner."

Wang Shangshu still refused to give up and asked: "Shen Shizi, you have to tell me what happened, right? Otherwise, I am so confused that I don't know how to cooperate with you."

Shen Changyan did not refuse this time, nodded, and said sternly: "Tonight, the proprietress used the honeysuckle flowers she kept privately to detoxify the poisoned tea customers, and asked someone to transfer them away from the back door, trying to get rid of the fire and clear the blame."

After hearing this, Wang Shangshu pondered for a while and raised his voice: "This must be investigated carefully. Why are there honeysuckle flowers in Yuelai Teahouse? Where are the tea guests going to move to? Come on, arrest the proprietress and her maid and send them to Beijing. Zhaoyi Mansion, I want to examine this carefully."

The entourage he brought promised to step forward and snatch the proprietress and Mei'er from Yingyi's hands.

Shen Changyan raised his hand to stop it: "Wait a minute."

Wang Shangshu asked puzzledly: "What questions does Shen Shizi have? Don't you want the case of Yiming Tea House to be solved sooner?"

"The proprietress and Mei Er are important witnesses and cannot be taken away for the time being. We must ensure their safety so that they will not be silenced." Shen Changyan explained his reason.

Wang Shangshu smiled indifferently and said, "Jingzhaoyi Mansion is the yamen of the capital, how could there be bad guys lurking?"

"What's going on with Shopkeeper Jiang and her buddies? They stayed in a safe place, didn't they get poisoned?"

Shen Changyan also retorted lightly, and Wang Shangshu was speechless.

"I can't say enough. Lord Shangshu once said that there are no bats in Jingzhaoyi Mansion, and the poisoning case has nothing to do with bats or Yuelai Teahouse, but what about now?"

Faced with Shen Changyan's questioning, Wang Shangshu lost his composure.

Those words were indeed what he had said before, but now that Shen Changyan was talking about them, it was clearly a slap in the face.

"There are no absolutes in everything..."

Before Wang Shangshu finished his counterattack, he suddenly realized that Bai Zhi had told him this sentence, so he shut up immediately.

Shen Changyan stopped paying attention to him, knowing in his heart that Wang Shangshu was pushed out this time to thoroughly investigate the Yiming Tea House poisoning case, which was clearly a cover-up.

"Enter the house and search." He ordered.

Yingyi took the official servant into Yuelai Tea House.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a fireball suddenly flew over from the direction of the front door.

The falling ball landed on the roof and instantly burst into flames.

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.

Everyone knew very well that someone had deliberately set fire to the Yuelai Teahouse. They would rather burn down the Yuelai Teahouse than let Yingyi and the others go in to search, so there must be something ghost inside the Yuelai Teahouse.

Bai Zhi pinched her fingers and recited a fire-extinguishing technique secretly, and the fire on the roof was extinguished instantly.

Shen Changyan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered his men to go to Qian Street to catch the arsonist.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, three fireballs flew out, landed in different positions, and instantly ignited a raging fire.

When Bai Zhi saw the intensity of the fire, she immediately concluded that the intensity of the fire was also enhanced by the Prosperous Fire Technique.

Otherwise there would be no way there would be such a big fire on the roof, which is covered with tiles after all.

She knew who made the move, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and then she used an ultimate spell given to her by her master in her previous life.

So she retreated to a secluded place, meditated on the ground, and performed a rain trick.

Immediately there was a downpour of rain in the sky.

But this heavy rain can only be seen, but not felt, but this heavy rain can extinguish the fire.

In this way, it became such a spectacle that the heavy rain extinguished the three fires, but no one was affected by the heavy rain.

At the same time as the fire was extinguished, there was a miserable howl from somewhere.

Bai Zhi smiled, a magic contest ended with her victory.

And the person who is defeated by her will get burned.

Even if the fire can be extinguished in time, the skin of the body will inevitably be burned, and there is no medicine to cure it, so it can only wait for it to heal slowly, so when the time comes, it will be easy to find this person.

The fire was extinguished, and Yingyi and the others rushed into Yuelai Teahouse again.

Wang Shangshu was obviously a little restless. His body was trembling slightly and he was pacing back and forth. He seemed to be anxiously waiting for the search situation in the room, but Bai Zhi understood that he was scared. So far, the master behind him was already Lost.

Bai Zhi decided to tease him, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Shangshu, do you think other than honeysuckle flowers, what else will be found in Yuelai Teahouse?"

"How do I know? What do they have to do with me?" Wang Shangshu's reaction was indeed a bit extreme and he spoke in a panic.

Bai Zhi wants this effect, so that he will have more flaws, she smiled slightly, and said casually: "Didn't Wang Shangshu confirm that the poisoning of tea customers has nothing to do with bats and Yuelai Teahouse? Presumably you and the owner of Yuelai Teahouse are also the same. I have a certain relationship, if I don’t know, it’s not justified. Could it be that the proprietress is just doing things for her own convenience, and has not made friends with you? I think that apart from the honeysuckle, there may be some important correspondence evidence and so on. This teahouse went from under the plate to its opening very quickly, even tougher than the Jiang shopkeeper supported by the imperial court."

There is a lot of information in these words. Although Bai Zhi didn't explain it thoroughly, she revealed a piece of information, that is your transaction. Don't think I don't know. Today is the time to settle with you. If you are sensible, you should play it by ear.

Wang Shangshu is not a fool, although his Shangshu has always been inconspicuous, just a kind and muddy existence.

This time he was handpicked to thoroughly investigate the poisoning case of Yiming Tea House, and he knew that he would never be able to remain neutral again.

But he didn't want to confess himself. After all, the person who had said harsh words to him was not someone he could offend.
