Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 217 Go find this person

"What happened today was an accident." Shen Muyin was calm, "But the Shen family definitely doesn't want to kill me this time, they just want to put me under house arrest."

The original intention of these words was to comfort Qin Chuyan, but to Qin Chuyan, they made him even more uneasy.

His bony hands pinched Shen Muyin's chin. Shen Muyin did not resist. Their eyes met in the air and neither of them dodged.

"So what are you hiding from me?" Qin Chuyan asked again.

Shen Muyin was quiet for a moment: "I'm waiting for an opportunity. When the opportunity is right, I will naturally speak."

Qin Chuyan just watched, but in the end he did not force Shen Muyin.

At least everything she did was well-reasoned and she was not someone Qin Chuyan could really control.

The more you pinch Shen Muyin, the deeper Shen Muyin may hide.

"Okay." Qin Chuyan nodded.

Then Qin Chuyan let go of Shen Muyin. He stood there for a long time, gave him instructions again, and then turned and left.

After Qin Chuyan left, Shen Muyin did not rest. Dong Jin had already walked quickly towards the Wenxiang Pavilion.

"Is there any news?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

After all, Xiaojiu has been released for two days, so he must find evidence as soon as possible. After all, Xiaojiu is not Shen Yan's man, and Shen Muyin is afraid that the truth will be revealed and bring trouble to Xiaojiu.

"Yes." Dong Jin took a sip of tea and said quickly, "It is indeed Shen Yan who is manipulating this matter. Xiao Jiu disguised himself as that dog slave and traveled among these salt dealers, and also got a lot of information. But these salt dealers don't know that this person's real identity is Shen Yan, so they say he is a big boss. So Shen Yan should have a second identity outside, which is probably related to the families that monopolize salt. It is hidden very deeply. Xiao Jiu only knows the truth of the matter, but can't have any evidence."

Dong Jin couldn't help cursing Shen Yan as he spoke. Shen Yan was indeed hiding too deeply and was extremely careful in doing things.

It can even be said that it is watertight. Even if we follow the clues like this, we can't find Shen Yan.

"Can those families find connections?" Shen Muyin asked calmly.

"There must be solid evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to catch them. The commotion we caused this time is just a scratch on their surface. They already had a countermeasure plan a long time ago." Dong Jin frowned.

This matter is more complicated and troublesome than they thought.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything and was very quiet. Dong Jin couldn't help but look at Shen Muyin anxiously. It took Shen Muyin a long time before he looked up at Dong Jin.

"Dong Jin, let Xiao Jiu go to the Cheng family to find this person to cooperate." Shen Muyin said quietly, "His name is Rong Sheng, and he is a small manager of the Cheng family. If you give this thing to him, he will understand."

Shen Muyin handed a jade pendant to Dong Jin, and then continued: "Ask Xiaojiu to tell Rong Sheng a message. As long as he does it, the Rong family's matter will be settled in no time."

Dong Jin was stunned for a moment: "Miss, how do you know someone from the Cheng family? Is this person reliable?"

After all, this matter affects the entire body. If you are not careful, countless people will be implicated.

The status of these salt merchants' families in Kyoto is also obvious. Even if the Qin family saw it, they would have to give them some face.

Otherwise, how could he have been so domineering for so many years?

"Reliable." Shen Muyin responded calmly, "He doesn't need to do much, just find evidence that these families colluded to transport salt out of Kyoto. After all, there are receipts for each family's transactions, as well as receipts from the contact person, he should be able to get them."

"I understand." Dong Jin responded.

Since Shen Muyin said he is reliable, then this person is reliable.

So soon, Dong Jin turned around and walked out of Wenxiang Pavilion. Shen Muyin stood by the window and watched Dong Jin leave quietly.

Rongsheng, it’s been a long time since we last met.

In the previous life, Shen Muyin had met Rong Sheng before he returned to the Shen Mansion.

Rong Sheng was seriously injured in the suburbs and was rescued by Shen Muyin. Otherwise, Rong Sheng would have died long ago.

At that time, Rong Sheng gave Shen Muyin a token and told her that if Shen Muyin had any problems, she could come to him. His life was saved by Shen Muyin and he would never refuse.

So Shen Muyin could only gamble.

Shen Muyin had her reasons for daring to gamble, of course, because while Rong Sheng was recovering from his injuries, she more or less learned from Rong Sheng that Rong Sheng was originally the young master of a wealthy family, but his family had fallen on hard times.

The person who caused the Rong family to fall from grace was none other than the Cheng family.

The Rong family also sold salt, but the Cheng family just took advantage of the situation and directly annexed the Rong family without leaving any room for them, causing Rong Sheng's parents to go crazy and commit suicide.

Isn't it that Rong Sheng went to the Cheng family to endure hardships and one day overthrow the Cheng family to avenge his parents? If so, why didn't Shen Muyin dare to gamble?

What's more, she believed that since she could be reborn, her luck must be good. Maybe she made the right bet this time?

Telling Dong Jin is to reassure Dong Jin. Otherwise, if this matter is brought to Qin Chuyan's attention, I'm afraid it will be a completely different situation.

After a long time, Shen Muyin let out a long sigh, and then she didn't say anything, but Shen Muyin didn't stay in the Wenxiang Pavilion for long, but left quietly.

Except for the people from Wenxiang Pavilion, no one else, Shen Muyin, went out.

Shen Muyin didn't go anywhere, but went to the ancestral hall, which was hung with white silk because it was during the wake period and Shen Rushuang would not be buried for another four days.

The servant was standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Shen Muyin, wearing a white dress, jumped lightly into the hall without disturbing anyone.

When Shen Muyin entered, Xiao Qiner appeared silently beside Shen Muyin and said in sign language: "Miss, you are here."

Shen Muyin lowered his head: "Are you ready?"

"Ready." Xiao Qiner said in sign language.

Shen Muyin nodded, and Xiao Qin'er did not hesitate and took Shen Muyin to the small room. Next to the small room was the mourning hall, and the windows here could clearly see the situation inside the mourning hall.

"You can see it from here and no one will find out. No one usually comes to this room." Xiao Qin'er signed quickly.

Shen Muyin nodded but didn't say anything. She stood quietly, looking at the mourning hall outside.

There is always a hint of eeriness in the mourning hall, and the ice coffin in the middle is even more creepy. Even the temperature here has inevitably dropped by a few degrees.

In addition, there were white silks hanging crisscrossing in the mourning hall, and anyone who walked into such a place would feel a little overwhelmed.

Not to mention those who have something to hide, such as Concubine Liu. She murdered Shen Rushuang, and now in front of Shen Rushuang's corpse, how could she be natural?

So Shen Muyin saw Concubine Liu curled up in the corner, trembling all over.
