Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 541 Where is He?
Xiaowu ran back quickly.

Ye Chutang raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then lowered his eyes to take a look.

Red with a hint of black.

She quickly looked away, and when Xiaowu came over, she calmly hid the marks on her cuffs.

Xiaowu didn't notice anything unusual. He gestured at her and pointed behind her.

Ye Chutang turned around and noticed that Shen Yanchuan had forgotten the cloak here.

She let out a breath.

"Return it tomorrow."

……

Shen Yanchuan sped all the way and soon arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Fan Chengzhuo outside the gate, who had also rushed over after hearing the news.

Fan Chengzhuo frowned the moment he saw Shen Yanchuan.

"It's so late, why are you here, my lord?"

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows: "Master Fan, why are you here? I am the same reason."

Fan Chengzhuo didn't look very happy.

"It seems that it is not yet the prince's turn to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice, right?"

From the sound of it, it seems that they don't intend to let Shen Yanchuan take a step forward.

Shen Yanchuan put away his whip and spoke slowly, "Such a big thing has happened, Lord Fan must be very anxious. I just happened to hear about it and was worried. I thought it would be good if I could help Lord Fan relieve some of his worries. Why is Lord Fan resisting like this?"

Fan Chengzhuo snorted in his heart.

Just happened to hear that?

Even he, the Minister of Justice, had just received the news, but Shen Yanchuan actually arrived with him! It would be ridiculous to tell anyone about it!
In the past, Shen Yanchuan was somewhat restrained, but recently, for some reason, he started to act in a high-profile and flamboyant manner, and now he doesn’t even bother to act!

Fan Chengzhuo said sarcastically, "I dare not trouble you, Your Highness. This matter involves serious matters. I advise you not to get involved in it, so as not to cause trouble."

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something.

"If I remember correctly, those people were captured by my people. Now they are dead. I don't even have the right to ask a question?"

"this--"

Fan Chengzhuo was speechless for a moment.

Shen Yanchuan's tone was nonchalant, but his eyes were indifferent.

"If Lord Fan disagrees, I will go to His Majesty and ask for an order."

How dare Fan Chengzhuo agree?

Shen Yanchuan holds real power and is qualified to help His Majesty investigate the case.

Moreover, this matter is extremely serious. If it is delayed, Shen Yanchuan will report him later, then -

Fan Chengzhuo bowed reluctantly.

"Your Excellency, you are too polite. We are all serving His Majesty, so we should act according to our discretion. Your Excellency, please—"

Shen Yanchuan raised his thin lips slightly: "Thank you, Master Fan."

He dismounted from his horse, took a step forward with his long legs, and headed toward the gate of the Ministry of Justice.

Fan Chengzhuo walked with him and looked at him calmly.

"Where did you come from, Prince? You seemed to be in a hurry. Could it be that you went somewhere for a drink?"

The smell of alcohol had not yet dissipated and could be smelled once you got close.

Shen Yanchuan's eyebrows moved slightly.

Is Fan Chengzhuo trying to find out his whereabouts?

Before he could say anything, someone suddenly ran out in panic, shouting:
"Oh no! Oh no! There's a fire!"

Shen Yanchuan's heart sank, and he immediately stepped forward to grab the man and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the fire?"

The clerk looked panic-stricken and pointed tremblingly inside.

"Prison, big prison!"

Shen Yanchuan suddenly looked up and saw a red flame rising into the sky in front of him! It was the direction of the Ministry of Justice Prison!
Everyone panicked.

There are many prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Justice! Now there is a sudden fire, and if we are not careful, someone will die!

Shen Yanchuan was also worried about another extremely critical issue - the bodies of those Nanhu swordsmen were still inside!
It was burned before an autopsy was performed, so there is no way to find out anything!
Shen Yanchuan pushed him away and rushed inside!

Fan Chengzhuo immediately stopped him: "Sir! It's dangerous inside, don't go! If something happens to you, how can I bear the consequences!"

Shen Yanchuan stared at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"If you don't go and let this fire continue to burn, can you afford it?"

Fan Chengzhuo choked.

"I will send people to put out the fire immediately! We will try our best to rescue everyone. You are a noble person, so please don't put yourself in danger!"

Shen Yanchuan ignored him and went straight inside!

When we send people to put out a fire, we are saving living people. Who would care about the dead?
Especially - they are dead people who are secretly detained!
"Hey--"

Fan Chengzhuo shouted and wanted to chase after him, but when he saw the blazing flames, he stopped in his tracks.

The fire is about to burn my face!
Shen Yanchuan is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die with others!

Many officials from the Ministry of Justice came running over and looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this scene.

A man couldn't help but step forward and asked with a worried look on his face: "Sir, how did the prince of Dingbei get in? If anything happens to him, you and I will be in big trouble!"

What is Shen Yanchuan’s identity?
If something happens to him in the Ministry of Justice, none of the people present will be able to escape!
The eldest princess or Shen Youyan, which one is easier to get along with! ?
Fan Chengzhuo was very annoyed: "I have tried to dissuade him several times, but he didn't listen. What else can I do?!"

"Can……"

"If you're really that worried, why don't you chase after him?"

Fan Chengzhuo's words successfully choked back the other party's remaining words.

After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the crowd.

"You? You? Or you?"

The people he pointed at all lowered their heads, looking embarrassed.

They are not stupid. With the fire raging like this, wouldn't it be courting death if they followed in?
Who doesn’t want to be successful and wealthy, but the prerequisite is to have a good life!
If you die in there, what's the point of receiving great posthumous honors?
Fan Chengzhuo snorted coldly: "If you can't do it, then stop talking nonsense! What are you still standing there for? Put out the fire!"

"Yes Yes!"

Everyone quickly scattered and began to put out the fire with all their might.

But the fire started very suddenly and spread very quickly. Pouring pots of water on it was just a drop in the bucket.

Fan Chengzhuo took a step back and could even feel the scorching heat on his face.

The blazing fire shone into his eyes, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

……

Ye Mansion.

After Ye Chutang took Xiaowu to wash up, he thought about it and decided to go back and pick up the cloak that Shen Yanchuan left behind.

There seemed to be a slight chill in the air.

Those were the traces left by Shen Yanchuan as he ran all the way, holding the wooden box in his arms.

Ye Chutang made a move.

Shen Yanchuan's words echoed in her ears again.

"You know what I want."

this person……

Suddenly, there were several noisy noises coming from outside.

Ye Chutang came back to his senses, feeling a little surprised: It’s already so late, why are they arguing again?

She took a few steps toward the door: "What's going on outside?"

The little maid ran over and said, "Second Miss, there seems to be a big fire outside! Many people are running out to see!"

On fire?
"where?"

The little maid scratched her head and said, "I know this too, but I heard from others that it seems to be from the Ministry of Justice..."

Ye Chutang's heart sank suddenly!
