Chapter 349: Killing the Chicken in the Monkey King
Shi Chengzhi's face changed, and he was angry and resentful, but he was also afraid that his granddaughter would point him out. He quickly looked at Shi Linhui: "Hui'er, don't be afraid, everything has a grandfather."
As he spoke, his eyes warned Shi Linhui not to hand him over, because if she didn't hand him over, he would have a way to save her. If she handed him over, no one would be able to save her.
Shi Linhui naturally knew this, so she did not identify Shi Chengzhi, but she also did not want to plead guilty.
Shi Linhui rolled her eyes and suddenly pointed at the guards and said, "I didn't instruct them, they went to assassinate Princess Jin on their own."
The guard became anxious when he heard this: "Miss, you clearly ordered us to assassinate Princess Jin. Otherwise, why would we assassinate Princess Jin properly?"
Shi Linhui argued: "It's not me, I don't have it."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked up at Mr. Qian, who looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Miss Shi, now it's not one person who has identified you, but several people who have identified you as the princess who ordered them to assassinate Princess Jin. It's useless if you don't admit it."
."
After Master Qian finished speaking, he looked at Pei Lin and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Shi ordered someone to assassinate Princess Jin. How do you think this will turn out?"
Shi Linhui was desperate, and it was useless if she didn't admit it.
Shi Linhui quickly looked at Pei Lin and cried: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I made the mistake when I was confused. I just didn't want Princess Jin to ruin our family's affairs, so I did this.
It’s all for the good of the prince.”
Pei Linsheng was disgusted, and he ordered with cold eyes: "The Shi daughter who dares to harm my princess will be sent to the same county to serve five years of hard labor."
The criminals who committed crimes here in Youzhou, and those who were not worthy of beheading, basically went to places like Yunguan, Licheng and Tongjun to do hard labor.
As the eldest daughter of the Shi family, Shi Linhui had ever done the job of moving bricks and building walls. When she heard this, her body softened and she collapsed on the ground.
Shi Chengzhi's face was indescribably ugly. Jin King Pei Lin didn't give him any face at all.
Mr. Qian, the head of the hall, quickly ordered: "Send Miss Shi to the same county to do hard labor."
Soon a police officer came over and escorted Shi Linhui to the same county to do hard labor. Shi Linhui finally came to her senses and turned around to look at Shi Chengzhi for help.
"Grandpa, save me, save me."
Shi Chengzhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly comforted Shi Linhui: "Grandpa will find a way."
He could arrange for someone to kidnap his granddaughter halfway and send her to the capital.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Chengzhi finished speaking, Pei Lin's words rang out from behind: "Dongli, arrange for a few men to accompany the police to escort Miss Shi to serve in the same county."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dong Li ducked and followed him, but Shi Chengzhi couldn't bear the excitement anymore and turned around to look at Pei Lin behind him: "You?"
Before Shi Chengzhi could get angry, someone was beating the drum of injustice outside the government office. Mr. Qian glanced outside and said, "Come here, bring in the drummer of injustice."
"Yes, sir."
The head catcher ran out and brought in the drummers. There were two or three families.
As soon as these people came in, they knelt down and cried: "Sir, I beg you, sir, to make the decision for me. My daughter was killed by Shi Qi, the son of Mr. Shi. Oh my god, please make the decision for me?"
"
Shi Chengzhi quickly turned around and looked at the two or three families crying on the ground.
How dare they sue his youngest son?
Shi Chengzhi knew that his youngest son liked beauty and even raped civilian girls several times.
At first he severely punished his youngest son, but later his old wife was too lazy to take care of him because he was crying.
Since no one in Youzhou had a higher official position than him, he gradually became more relaxed. Fortunately, the families of the robbed women did not dare to cause trouble.
Shi Chengzhi gradually stopped taking this matter seriously. He didn't expect that these victims would dare to sue his son now.
Shi Chengzhi thought about it briefly and realized that the reason why these people dared to sue his son was clearly under Pei Lin's instigation.
Shi Chengzhi thought about this and broke into a cold sweat.
King Jin won't kill him now, right?
Mr. Qian, the head of the lobby, immediately ordered the policeman to bring Shi Qi to the government office to answer the question.
Shi Chengzhi raised his feet to leave, but Pei Lin spoke later: "Master Shi, are you going to let your son go privately?"
Shi Chengzhi turned around and looked at Pei Lin: "As an official of the imperial court, how could I do such a thing? The King of Jin thinks too much."
"In this case, it's better for you to stay. This matter involves your son. It's better for you not to wander around, lest the criminal escapes. People say that Master Shi let his son go without permission."
After hearing Pei Lin's words, Shi Chengzhi said angrily: "Your Majesty, there is no evidence yet to prove that my son raped a girl, so he is not a criminal yet."
"Oh, let's see if your son is the criminal?"
Shi Chengzhi knew that King Jin would not let him go.
I don't know why, Shi Chengzhi just felt scared, always feeling that the direction of this matter was getting worse and worse.
At this time, he regretted very much, regretting that he had not surrendered to the King of Jin immediately.
Now he came to show his attitude again, and King Jin made it clear that he would not accept it. On the contrary, he felt that King Jin was taking advantage of him. If he wanted to control Youzhou, he must frighten the officials from all over Youzhou. He would not become the one who killed the chicken to scare the monkeys in King Jin's hands.
Chicken bar.
The more Shi Chengzhi thought about it, the more this possibility became possible. His face turned indescribably pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The youngest son of the Shi family, Shi Qi, was quickly brought here. Mrs. Shi was very fond of this young son. When she saw her son being taken away, she immediately rushed to the government office with her people.
As soon as he entered the government office, he got angry and arrogant: "You are so brave, how dare you arrest my son. My son has committed something, and you want to arrest him."
Shi Chengzhi saw that it was already here and his old wife still couldn't recognize the current situation. He shouted angrily: "Shut up."
Mrs. Shi was stunned when Shi Chengzhi drank. The most important thing was that she had never seen her master look so ugly before. He seemed to be seriously ill. What happened to him?
Mrs. Shi rushed over and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Mr. Qian, who was the first person in the lobby, slapped the crowd. Mrs. Shi was so angry that she wanted to get angry. She turned around and saw the people in the hall, including King Jin and Princess Jin. Mrs. Shi was shocked for a moment.
Mr. Qian, the leader of the hall, looked at the victim below: "You are suing Shi Qi, the youngest son of the Shi family, for raping a common girl and killing your daughter. Do you have any evidence?"
The following three victims immediately gave witnesses who were present at the time.
Master Qian asked people to bring witnesses. These people were all found by people from the Jin Palace. The people from the Jin Palace promised them that if they testified against Shi Qi, each family would be given ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver is too important to a family, so all these witnesses came to testify.
The most important people in the Jin Palace have said that after today, Mr. Shi Jia Shi will no longer be the governor of Youzhou.
In this case, what did they have to fear? All these people came over to accuse Shi Qi of robbing the women.
