553: The Evil of the Trickster (Part 2)【Monthly Pass】
The common people of Ruyao are so familiar with the name Shen Tang! After all, she is on the hot search list every now and then. It is hard to imagine whether she has heard of it. It is either "Shen Jun led a lone army to attack Shiwu Capital" or "Shen Jun" "Cut off 100,000 and 30,000 heads", which means "Shen Jun Qianglong slashed his sword to kill the local snake", or "Shen Jun loved the people like a son and provided free medical clinics for the people of the county with his own money"...
As for the establishment of schools, because it only involves the interests of a small group of people, it does not attract much attention.
They were familiar with each other, but when asked to tell them what kind of person their governor was, none of them could tell.
Because Shen Tang is not as active outside as Fu Gu was at that time.
This was the first time that she had appeared in a more formal public place. The people who heard the news were full of curiosity and wanted to see what the head of a county looked like. Facts have proved that she is good-looking. Can take advantage of three points.
Shen Tang has such a beautiful face.
The young scribe's eyes lit up again.
Qishan, who was standing in the crowd, quickly covered his mouth with his hands and threatened in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, be careful about your words and actions!"
Qishan knew very well what kind of temper this guy had.
His love for beauties was comparable to that of Kang Shi. The difference between the two was that Kang Shi liked secret coquettishness, while this guy was keen on open coquettishness.
Otherwise, there would not be such a scribe's way.
"Why are you so nervous?"
The young scholar suspected that the other party wanted to cover himself to death.
Qishan emphasized with a dark face.
"That's my lord!"
The young scribe struggled to tear him apart, straightened his hair crown with both hands, and said angrily: "I know it is your master, a living person weighing more than a hundred pounds, can I still take her away?" Even if he had this idea, there was nothing he could do. Nor does the way of the scribes support it.
Praying for good, hehehe.
At this time, Shen Tang's voice reached their ears.
"Who is here?"
"What's the complaint?"
"What's the grievance?"
Shen Tang asked three times, because her appearance was not majestic and cold, and she did not deliberately show off her power, so the old woman underneath her slightly adapted to the solemn atmosphere, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and encouraged herself: "The old woman lives in Huangxi City, west of the city. Pi Xiang, this is the old woman’s son, daughter-in-law and grandson. They sued the neighbor Widow Zhuo for failing to seduce my son and actually poisoned her little grandson... I beg Mr. Shen to punish this slut severely and bring justice to the old woman’s family... But my grandson is The lifeblood of the family!”
As he spoke, he raised his hands to wipe away tears.
After the drumming, a clerk came over to find out the truth.
These words of hers were compiled with the help of the clerk, so as not to waste time by talking nonsense in the hall, failing to convey what she meant.
After crying, she pointed at Ning Yan again: "And this one..."
The clerk hinted at Ning Yan's identity.
The old woman reluctantly swallowed the "bitch" on the tip of her tongue. Gu Chi, who had nothing to do and came over to record the confession, raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his eyes slightly to hide his displeasure. The old woman continued: "...this Ning The dean does not distinguish between right and wrong, and wants to accuse us unjustly!"
Shen Tang turned his gaze to Ning Yan.
Ning Yan saluted and said, "That's absolutely not the case."
Shen Tang said: "You say."
Ning Yan also knows something about this matter.
The student next to her is quite withdrawn because of his foreign ancestry. Ning Yan adheres to the teaching philosophy of a banquet teacher and does not have any prejudice against any student and treats them equally. This student is young but has a resolute and resolute mind.
Just right for Ning Yan's taste.
This morning, Ning Yan found that the students were in a different mood.
After class, I even asked myself for help.
It turns out that Widow Zhuo has been feuding with the old woman's family for a long time. The old woman either yells at her, or she chats with a group of elderly neighbors, spreading stories about Widow Zhuo's past to pass the time, and forcibly accuses Widow Zhuo, who is still cheerful and optimistic. The torture made her withdrawn and taciturn. Now she is making baseless accusations, falsely accusing Widow Zhuo of harming the old woman's newborn grandson.
He also threatened to make Widow Zhuo's life worth his own. When the female student received help, she was so panicked that she had no choice but to rely on Ning Yan.
Ning Yan is not a person who helps her relatives but not others.
She learns more about so-called "baby poisoning."
Ning Yan: "My lord, you will know this as soon as you see this baby."
Shen Tang asked someone to lift up the swaddled baby in the little woman's arms and lift up the covering cloth. The swaddled baby was sleeping soundly. Judging by its size, it seemed that it was less than a month old. However, its skin was abnormally turmeric, and it had a deformed oral and maxillofacial cleft lip, that is, It's a harelip.
She said: "The jaundice is a bit severe. Let the child drink more water and hold it in the sun every day when the sun is not bright. If it still doesn't work, go to the hospital to see Dr. Dong. Although he is not good at it Pediatric, but better than nothing."
Shen Tang's tone was extremely bland.
It seems like this child's upper lip defect is common.
But then again——
"I looked at this child, but I still don't know where it was killed... Isn't this child fine? It's just that the jaundice is severe..." This was not man-made, Shen Tang was a little confused.
Do you think she is idle when she complains about such a thing?
When the old woman heard this, she burst into tears. She ignored the clerk's instructions not to make noise in the court, and even frightened the infant child into crying.
Shen Tang could only hug and coax him.
When that didn't work, Wenqi sound insulation was used.
Ning Yan saw that her lord's expression was natural and did not seem to be fake, so she reminded: "My lord, look at this child's face..."
Shen Tang lowered his head and looked at the child: "Oh, you said cleft lip? But cleft lip has half a coin to do with murder?"
Now it was not only the old woman who was crying, but also the young woman who was the mother of the child. Only the adult male of this family was still with a blank face, like an outsider throughout the whole process, watching the people whispering. Ning Yan did not expect this: "Old woman What this family meant was that Widow Zhuo failed to seduce the men of the family, so they gave the old woman a knife while her daughter-in-law was alone at home..."
Shen Tang was shocked: "Did Widow Zhuo stab someone with a knife?"
Look at the crying little woman.
Said: "Xuan Ren is here to examine the injury?"
The problem comes again——
What does it have to do with an infant?
Ning Yan: "..."
She reacted quickly, thinking that her lord was still young and probably didn't understand these women's taboos, so she explained: "What the old woman's family means is that the knife given by Widow Zhuo caused the upper lip defect of this grandson's family, so he belongs to the family. Kill."
Shen Tang: "..."
Shen Tang: "???"
Shen Tang: "!!!"
She lowered her head to look at the swaddled baby. The timid Widow Zhuo finally couldn't help it and cried: "Mr. Shen, this woman has been wronged."
The knife was given as a gift, but everything happened for a reason!
Apparently both families went to the blacksmith shop to order knives.
Widow Zhuo usually had a good relationship with this little woman. When she saw that she was about to give birth and was unable to go out, she helped her get a knife at her request. It was fine at first, but she didn't know that she had given birth a while ago, and the family had to rely on it. She poisoned children.
He maliciously gave the young woman a knife, which caused the upper lip of the male heir in her belly to be cut and damaged. The old woman and her family wanted to kill her.
But the little woman refused to admit it.
He also said——
"Xiaomin received the knife that day and really felt a pain in his stomach. I didn't know it at the time. I didn't know until I gave birth to the child... It must have been a murderous attack at that time..." The young woman was not as courageous as her mother-in-law, so she mustered up her courage. The defense was not loud.
Seeing the people in the hall crying together, Shen Tang was still confused: "This, what kind of murder is this?"
