Soon, no one was allowed to go to the study in the general's mansion. When the court officials were confused, they heard that the emperor was planning to build a larger library for everyone, where they could enter and read all kinds of rare books for a small amount of money.

For a time, people from all walks of life were shouting "Long live the emperor".

Taking advantage of this atmosphere of joy among the emperor and his ministers, Shen Li came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It was already late at night, and the old prime minister was still writing furiously at his desk, pondering many matters in the library.

Shen Li stayed quietly in the space, looked for a while, sighed, and jumped down from the roof.

The old prime minister was startled by Shen Li's sudden appearance.

"You... Miss Shen? You, how could you..."

He suddenly remembered what his daughter had said and knew that Shen Li was a capable person. He just stared at Shen Li in a daze, unable to speak for a while.

"Don't worry, old Prime Minister. I have no ill intentions in coming here, but I have something I want to discuss with you."

The old prime minister had calmed down by then and quickly extended his hand to signal, "Miss Shen, please take a seat. If you have anything to say, feel free to speak."

Shen Li didn't say anything too polite. He nodded and sat down, glancing at the old prime minister opposite him.

With gray hair and wrinkles all over his face, he looks like a shriveled old man, but he gives people a sense of majesty.

She sighed.

"Old Prime Minister, you said you were a good man. Whether it was towards the court or the people, you were fair and just, and you were honest and upright. How could such a good man like you have such a vicious daughter?"

When the old prime minister heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Ever since he asked his daughter and son-in-law to apologize to Shen Li last time, he had not asked about their affairs. Everything had been calm for such a long time, and he thought his daughter had listened to him and knew that making trouble would not end well, so she had calmed down.

But from what Shen Li said, what trouble has her daughter caused again?

The old prime minister's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

Since Shen Li came to her house, the trouble her daughter got into must be serious.

"Miss Shen, where did you get this from? Please enlighten me. I am all ears."

"It's not like I can give you any advice," Shen Li said calmly, "You know how Ding Lan died, right?"

The old prime minister was shocked.

Of course he knew.

She was the girl who was shopping with Shen Li's face on her head. She was mistaken for Shen Li by the killer and shot to death on the street.

The killer's target was obviously Shen Li. Someone wanted Shen Li dead, but they had the wrong target.

Oh my God, could this have something to do with my daughter?

The old prime minister's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"I know Miss Ding Landing. Why does Miss Shen ask this?"

"Her killer was hired by your daughter."

Shen Li's words startled the old prime minister so much that he jumped up from his chair.

"Miss Shen, this matter is very serious. If you don't have sufficient evidence, you can't say anything."

Shen Li snorted and laughed twice, "You want evidence? Okay, I'll give you evidence."

After saying that, he took out a thick letter from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the table in front of the old prime minister.

The old prime minister hurriedly picked up the letter, opened it and was stunned.

The letter spelled out everything from how Little Zhao approached Big Zhao, asking for help finding someone to kill Shen Li. It also described what Big Zhao said to her daughter Wen Wanying during their discussion. Then, after the killing, Little Zhao and Big Zhao got drunk and cursed Shen Li for being a short-lived person. Then, after Shen Li safely returned to the capital, the two realized they had killed the wrong person and blamed each other. Then, a few days ago, Little Zhao sent a letter to Big Zhao, discussing how to have someone who sabotaged Shen Li stationed along the canal to inquire about the large ship.

The whole thing was written clearly from beginning to end, even the letter from Little Zhao to Big Zhao was in the envelope, and everything was thrown in front of the old prime minister.

For a moment, the old prime minister was speechless.

How can he, as a father, have the nerve to defend his daughter when she does something so immoral that she kills someone?

He didn't even ask whether it was true. Holding the letter in his hand, he was trembling a little, with his head down and no words for a long time.

"Old Prime Minister, don't you have anything to say to me?" Shen Li said, "Don't you want evidence? If this letter doesn't count, I have other evidence."

The old prime minister felt a sharp pain in his heart. He sat down on the chair, holding his heart, and felt dizzy.

Shen Li said slowly, "In fact, from the beginning I suspected that Ding Lan's murder was related to your daughter, but everything requires evidence, so I kept silent. I didn't expect them to think I had no clues. They found out that my people were asking the boatmen on the canal. In order to eliminate the last loophole, they sent people to threaten the boatmen not to say anything. Haha, old Prime Minister, you are so wise, but you actually gave birth to these two idiots. If it weren't for their actions, I really wouldn't be able to follow the clues and find evidence."

Shen Li's tone was more murderous than teasing.

Just as she said, she had been suspicious of Xiao Zhao from the very beginning.

However, the clues when Ding Lan was murdered were not obvious. If we waited until she came back to investigate, it would be too late and there would be no way to trace her.

She deliberately spread the words of the recovered old boatman on the canal, and then spread the news that people from the General's Mansion had been investigating the canal, and that they had recently found more and more clues...

The murderer must have panicked when he heard that so many people saw the ship passing by.

Her guess turned out to be correct. She asked the ancient trees and ancient woods to keep a close eye on Little Zhao. Little Zhao finally lost her patience and wrote a letter and asked Mother Li to deliver it to Big Zhao.

When Da Zhao was reading the letter, a fire suddenly broke out outside. Da Zhao threw the letter into the charcoal fire and hurried out. The letter was snatched out by the ancient tree.

This time, even the person behind the scenes was exposed.

"Old Prime Minister, I've heard from my grandfather and uncle about your character. They both admire you immensely. That's why I've let your daughter off the hook after she repeatedly tried to trick me. After all, no one was killed, and I have your favor, right?"

"But this time it won't work. This time they've crossed my bottom line and killed someone. I won't let them off. I came here to tell you this, not because I'm afraid you'll know. It was me, Shen Li, who did them all. I dare to say this to their faces, and I have the confidence to kill anyone in front of them."

"Old Prime Minister, hatred has already formed. It's your daughters who brought this upon themselves. As an old father, you've tried to persuade them earnestly. You said so much and did so much, but they listened, yet they turned a deaf ear to it. Do you know why?"

"That's because, in their eyes, your loving kindness isn't love for them, but rather a bargaining chip they can use to continue their evil deeds. They don't cherish your hard work, but instead use it as a barrier to commit evil. Old Prime Minister, your daughters are nearing death, and I've come here to tell you frankly that whatever happens to them next is solely the work of me, Shen Li. Whether you're planning to avenge them or something, just come at me. I, Shen Li, will be with you to the end."
