Fu Yin took the contract and read it carefully. He looked at the master and said to the other person next to him: "Send Shen Taoyi."
Shen Huaiyuan was angry in the study because of today's rumors, and Butler Li hurriedly came to report that some officers and soldiers wanted to see him.
"What's the reason?" Shen Taoyi's heart skipped a beat.
Butler Li broke out in cold sweat and said tremblingly: "Okay, I seem to suspect that you have harmed the eldest lady."
"Bang-" Shen Huaiyuan fell down on the Taishi chair.
How is it possible? He has obviously dealt with that person, why is he still exposed?
But he quickly calmed down and said to Butler Li: "Quick, go call Madam."
Now that the matter has come to this, he must not be imprisoned. It seems... that is the only way to go. Shen Huaiyuan quickly made a decision in his heart.
Shen Huaiyuan and Lu Jiuniang came together, and they bowed respectfully to the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion.
Although the Daqing Dynasty did not have scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants, after all, the rank of official was overwhelming, not to mention that he was just a businessman, and many of his paths depended on official connections, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"Shen Taoyi, your niece is suing you for poisoning her. Is this true?"
Wearing a black gauze hat, the governor was so majestic that Lu Jiuniang was so frightened that she immediately trembled and turned pale.
Looking at Lu Jiuniang, Shen Shenyan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Shen Huaiyuan looked frightened: "The common people are scared. The common people have always treated Ayan as if they were their own daughters. How could they harm her?"
After saying this, he was afraid that the governor would not believe him, so he emphasized: "To facilitate Ayan's leaving the mansion, today I specially asked Ayan to move into my late brother's yard."
Shen Shenyan smiled sarcastically, she was really good at changing concepts. It was obviously her initiative to move, as if it was a generous gift from him.
The governor snorted coldly and asked the master to give the contract to Shen Huaiyuan: "Shen Taoyi, look at what this is? You don't recognize the official seal of your Shen mansion, right?"
Shen Huaiyuan's back stiffened. Didn't Zhao Quan swallow this thing?
Shen Huaiyuan held it and looked at it for a long time with dark eyes. He didn't expect that boy to dare to trick him. If he had known this, he should have disemboweled him.
Shen Huaiyuan took two deep breaths, regained his composure, and looked at the governor: "Sir, official seals can also be forged. Is this piece of paper enough to convict ordinary people?"
Then he looked at Shen Shenyan with a sad look on his face: "Ayan, my uncle thought you were a smart kid, but he never thought that you would be deceived by bad people."
Shen Shenyan sneered and met Shen Huaiyuan's gaze: "My uncle said that this chapter is fake, but I don't know if he has discovered it. The stroke in the word 'Shen' in this chapter is a bit thicker than the ordinary stroke. This It’s the traces of my playful boldness when I played with this chapter as a child.”
Fu Yin was surprised to hear these words and didn't know what to say. He had long heard that although Shen Lianyu was romantic back then, he hurt his only daughter to the core. But he didn't know that Shen Shenyan could even play with the official seal of Shen Fu at will. , the rumors are indeed true.
Shen Huaiyuan hurriedly took it out and looked at it, and found that it was really thick.
Shen Shenyan clasped his fists slightly and faced the governor: "If the governor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Shen's mansion now to get the official seal. Then we will know the truth of what the citizen girl said."
Shen Huaiyuan secretly winked at Lu Jiuniang. Lu Jiuniang gritted her teeth and knelt down with a "plop".
"No need to go get it, it is indeed the official seal of the Shen family."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Lu Jiuniang calmed down and continued: "Although it is the official seal of the Shen family, this matter was not done by the master, but I stole the seal, and the poison was planted by someone I sent."
After saying this, Lu Jiuniang's face was already dripping with sweat, and her hands were lying on the ground trembling.
Shen Huaiyuan was heartbroken and pointed at Lu Jiuniang with trembling hands: "Madam, you..."
Halfway through his words, he glanced at his wide sleeves and turned his body to the other side, as if he was disappointed.
Shen Shenyan was not too surprised by this result. She had guessed it from the moment Lu Jiuniang followed him.
It's just that she is still shameless. A grown man actually let a woman take the blame for him, ha!
Lu Jiuniang usually seemed domineering, but after all, her mother's family had no power, so naturally she would do whatever Shen Huaiyuan said.
"Mr. Lu, is what you said true?" Fu Yin looked at Lu Jiuniang with hawk-like eyes, "According to what Zhao Jin said, he saw with his own eyes that Shen Taoyi met Sun Quan in person."
Shen Huaiyuan looked at Sun Quan and immediately understood that there was a mistake.
But regarding this matter, he had already thought of a countermeasure.
Lu Jiuniang knelt on the ground and confessed honestly: "I sent someone to deal with Sun Quan. The man's figure is exactly the same as the master. It is reasonable for Sun Jin to be wrong."
After saying that, he looked at Sun Jin and asked: "When did you see that man meeting Sun Quan."
Sun Jin swallowed his saliva, and he did not dare to lie to Fu Yin: "The date is Xu Shi."
After hearing this, Shen Huaiyuan immediately said: "It was already getting late in Xu, so it is possible that I was wrong."
After hearing this, Shen Shenyan slowly walked towards Lu Jiuniang, squatted down in front of her, and looked at her with a faint smile on his lips, which made people tremble in their hearts.
"If you dare to ask my aunt, where is the person who handed over to Sun Quan that day?"
"After I asked him to do it for me, I gave him a sum of money and let him go." As if she had finished a draft, Lu Jiuniang picked up the words almost as soon as Shen Siyue finished speaking.
"Do you know where he is going?" Fu Yin asked from above.
Lu Jiuniang shook her head: "I don't know."
That's a mystery.
"Come here, put this man in prison and wait for his fate." The governor made a decision.
Shen Shenyan looked at Fu Yin and narrowed his eyes.
Ha! Waiting and waiting? I'm afraid it's a delaying strategy.
Everyone knows that there are still some unexplainable aspects, but a case has been concluded like this.
Just as Luocao was about to step forward, Shen Shenyan stopped him and shook his head at her.
"Master Fu Yin," Shen Shenyan took a step forward, "A civilian girl dares to ask, how should you deal with this person?"
As the head of the Shen family, Shen Huaiyuan should have received a lot of benefits from him on weekdays. If the head of the family's wife was dealt with, he would naturally have less money.
Although Lu Jiuniang was from a bad background, she was Shen Huaiyuan's wife after all. If Lu Jiuniang was accused of buying and selling murder, Shen Huaiyuan's face would be lost.
The governor was dumbfounded by Shen Siyan's words and didn't know how to respond.
"This matter needs to be discussed before making a decision." The master next to him reacted quickly and said to Shen Shenyan.
Shen Shenyan glanced at the master and sneered: "A civilian girl has a suggestion, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Fu Yin was already a little impatient and rubbed his eyebrows: "Tell me."
Shen Shenyan glanced at Lu Jiuniang, then at Shen Huaiyuan, and said: "If the prison sentence is reduced, we can beat her thirty times in public to warn everyone of wanting to achieve their goals through improper means. This will also improve the situation." The deterrent power of Jingzhao Mansion."
"Shen" is the traditional Chinese character for "Shen"~
