The market was very lively. Yandong escaped the crowd and rode his horse to the city gate immediately.

After turning off the horse's back, he quickly walked towards the city gate, and found the guards on duty yesterday to inquire about the situation.

The handle here is very strict. The rules set by the new emperor after he took office will be added to two guards every afternoon. Every time, all those who enter or leave the city will be carefully questioned and inspected before they can be released.

"Master Yan!" One of the officials in charge, Jian Yandong walked towards the city gate and immediately straightened his back and walked towards this side.

"Yesterday afternoon" Yandong thought about it, "At this time, have you ever seen a man riding a girl out of the city gate?" Yandong once went to the temple to send clothes and saw Miss Li, so he described Li Wanyi's appearance to the guard.

The manager shook his head and said that he had never seen such a girl.

The two people's words were heard by another little guard beside the city gate. He ran over happily, smiling and flattering. He held a cup of warm tea that he brought from somewhere and handed it to Yandong.

"Sir~~ I've met you once, but I still remember there was a girl~"

Yandong looked down and saw that he had not taken the cup of tea. He walked sideways by the little guard, "This matter is related to the Qingguan Temple destruction case. If you dare to speak nonsense, the emperor will not spare you."

When the little guard heard the seriousness of this incident, he immediately looked down.

He silently put down the teacup and pursed his lips, thinking that he had let the murderer of the temple killing case go.

"Actually..." He hesitated and told the truth, "I saw the blood on the girl's body and asked them to dismount and check, but the man explained to me that the girl was her sister and vomited blood after suffering from a strange disease... I let it go as I saw that she was pitiful..."

When the little guard was talking, Yandong noticed the bulging clothes on his abdomen, and something was bulgingly stored there.

Holding his neck, Yandong took out a purse from his waist. The purse was filled with a large hanging of silver.

He held a heavy silver tuition in his left hand, "It seems that the new emperor has not only strict management after taking office, but also much better treatment for you."

"I'm not more nonsense than you." Yandong lost his temper, "Give you another last chance to tell the truth, otherwise you will know the consequences."

After the words were finished, the little guard immediately exuded the true feelings, "I said I'll say!... In fact, the man held a dagger in his long sleeves and pushed me. He told me that his knife would soon stop them and would be dead, but...but...."

"But, as long as you let it go, you will have a bag of silver." Yandong threw the wallet to the ground, his tone became more severe, "Do you know what the blame is for private bribery?!"

"Sir! I was wrong. This is my first offense. Please give me another chance, sir!"

Yandong gave the manager a look and asked someone to take the guard down.

"Sir Yan, it's a villain's lack of control..."

Yandong looked at the manager with his eyebrows, "It's true that you are too loose to them. You have to work for the country by eating imperial grain. Everyone has the key. If everyone is like this, how can the country still be prosperous and stable?"

The manager stood aside and listened quietly to Yandong's words, nodding frequently but did not dare to say a word.

Back at Tsinghua University, Gong Yandong reported the matter to Shen Muchen.

"Your Highness" Yandong looked at Shen Muchen's frowning look and comforted, "Since someone saw Miss Li besides the city gate, wouldn't it confirm that Miss Li is not dead yet? This is a good thing."

"Do you think this is a good thing?" Shen Muchen sighed and stood up, "Forget it, you go down."

After Yandong left, Shen Muchen slowly walked to the window and watched the afterglow outside and fell into silence.

Brother, Shen Muchen knew that Li Wanli had been an orphan since childhood and had no other brother, so all this was made up of lies.

However, Shen Muchen didn't know who the man was or how he looked. The man took Li Wan-hye out of the temple at that time. It was better to rescue him than to take him out. What was his intention to do this?

Although she was poor in the temple, she lived a good life. According to Shen Muchen's understanding, Li Wanwei had nothing to do every day. She basically stayed in the room all day and read until the evening. The people in Qingguan Temple would take turns to take care of her and would not let her do rough work.

She has nothing to do with the temple, as her home, as her host, as her father. In this way, she doesn't know how she should rely on in the future, and how she should go on without protection and blindness...

Just as Shen Muchen was thinking, Yandong took the eunuch next to Shen Zitian into the hall.

"Your Highness Chen, the emperor wants you to go to Zhuxing Palace for tea."

On the way to Zhuxing Palace, Shen Muchen was at first wondering why Zitian invited him to Zhuxing Palace, and he didn't understand until he heard Yandong's explanation.

Chu Qingyan came to the palace for a long time and missed her husband very much, so Chu Qingyan said something in Shen Zitian's ear and then Shen Zitian invited the Chu family into the palace, including Chu Qingyan's younger brother Chu Hongyang.

After stepping into the Zhuxing Palace, Shen Zitian was talking about something with Chu Shaodong.

"Mu Chen?"

Chu Qingyan stood beside Zitian and smiled. When she saw Shen Muchen's figure subconsciously, she immediately shouted. Her expression seemed very surprised. It seemed that she didn't know that Shen Muchen would come to participate.

She looked at Shen Muchen and suddenly recalled the situation last night and felt sad again.

After a pause, Chu Qingyan showed a standard polite smile and bowed to Shen Muchen, "Why is Your Highness Muchen coming?"

Shen Zitian said, "I want him to come." Shen Zitian made an action to signal Shen Muchen to sit down.

"Just just now, the father-in-law was still asking me about you. He said that when he saw me and Chen'er, he was only five years old. At that time, he was still tall at the time, but in a blink of an eye, he was already so tall."

Shen Muchen sat down and laughed with her, "Uncle Chu went abroad for several years, but he really didn't see her for a long time..."

After the two exchanged a few greetings, Shen Zitian continued to chat with Chu Shaodong.

In recent years, Chu Shaodong went abroad to do business, but also connected with the royal family to get enough batches of weapons and equipment. Using the merchants to introduce weapons through this channel is an attractive approach. Merchants transported special weapons into the capital in batches from various places, and finally gathered at one point to the arsenal for processing.

This is Shen Zitian's usual technique.

Shen Muchen thought, picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip.

Putting down the teacup, I looked up and saw the face of the Chu family's wife. It was blue and purple and it looked very ugly.

Seeing that the two people around him were chatting happily, Shin Muchen leaned forward and whispered, "Madam, you have a bad face, are you okay?"
