"The grass people meet the adults, the Shen people, and the county commanders." Mr. Zhou made a gesture.

"Li Wen, I didn't expect it, Manager Zhou is an undercover agent I arranged by your side." Shen Tingyu said.

"My lord, Mr. Zhou was originally the head of the adult's teahouse, even if he thought of it, the little one should be treated politely."

Sure enough, it was an old treacherous and cunning, and after listening to Li Wen's answer, Shen Tingyu thought so in his heart.

"Since he was your subordinate before, his confession will only be used as a reference." Yu Tong looked at Shen Tingyu and said.

"Yes." Then Shen Tingyu said to Mr. Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, if you have any evidence, just take it out." ”

"Back to my lord, the villain has a few letters from Li Wen to the salt farm, and I invite you to take a look." As he spoke, Chief Zhou handed over a few letters to the officials on the side.

The official then handed the letter to Shen Tingyu, who opened it and read the contents of the letter, and then handed it to Lord Yu.

"Li Wen, this is written in black and white, you still don't admit your guilt?"

"My lord, these letters must have been forged by the governor this week to frame the villain, my lord!" At this time, Li Wen was already sweating profusely with fright.

"Humph! You alone will do it, but the letter implicates several officials, can it be that Director Zhou and other officials also have a grudge? Shen Tingyu was very annoyed when he heard Li Wen's defense, and asked.

"This, I...... I ...... "Li Wen has been stumbling for a long time, but he can't say why."

"Li Wen, today I will let the truth be revealed, you can watch it!"

Syllable! "Bring a witness, Zhang Feng."

Li Wen glanced at Zhang Feng who came up and said, "My lord, this person is extremely unfamiliar, and the villain has never recognized him. ”

"Oh, Boss Li, you are really a noble person! Have you forgotten? I used to be your foreman. Zhang Feng said.

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I ever have you as a foreman?"

"Zhang Feng, let me ask you, on the fifth day of March this year, have you ever helped Li Wen carry the goods?" Shen Tingyu asked.

"Back to the adult, the villain remembers very clearly, that night, Li Wen's Song steward asked us to move the goods, and everyone was very reluctant to move that night, but then Song steward said that the salary would be increased by three times, and everyone was willing to go."

"Oh, so do you know what kind of cargo you're carrying?" Shen Tingyu asked.

"At that time, Steward Song said that it was some rice."

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, how can anyone transport rice at night?" At this time, Li Wen was obviously a little flustered.

"My lord, the small one was also strange at that time, but this Li Wen is doing a speculative business, so there are no more doubts." Zhang Feng said.

"Okay, you wait on the side."

Syllable! Shen Tingyu slapped the shocked wood and said, "Bring a witness, dock worker." ”

"Let me ask you, where were you on the night of the fifth day of the third month of March this year?" Shen Tingyu asked.

The dock worker said: "Back to my lord, a few of us went to the market that night, and when we returned to the shed, we saw that they were carrying goods, and it was still night, Li Wen did most of the speculative business, and the things carried were generally not bad, and a few of us discussed it, and prepared to secretly hide a few bags when moving, anyway, they always bullied us workers on weekdays, so they should take some benefits." We deliberately threw the goods in the water and let some workers salvage them, so as to divert the attention of others, but after a short time after the workers salvaged the goods, a strange thing happened. ”

"Oh, what's weird?"

"Back to my lord, when the workers salvaged the goods, they saw that the volume of those goods had been reduced by half or more! My lord, I'm not talking nonsense, the brothers who were there that night all knew that the sack of goods, which had not yet been opened, had disappeared so much. ”

Shen Tingyu looked at Li Wen and said word by word: "That's because the sack is full of salt!" Li Wen, now that the human and material evidence is there, and the truth is revealed, don't you still admit your guilt? ”

Li Wen already knew that he would not escape death at this time, but he thought: Hmph, even if I die, I will pull a cushion on my back!

So he said: "My lord, I admit that I sell illicit salt, but my report on Shen Wanchuan is not false at all, and I ask your lord to investigate." ”

"You...... You ......" Shen Tingyu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Li Wen had already admitted that he was guilty, but he just didn't admit to framing Shen Wanchuan, Yu Tong walked to Shen Tingyu's side at this time and muttered a few words in his ear.

What the? Wang Hong is still alive? That's great! Shen Tingyu was very surprised, then he looked at Li Wen and said, "Li Wen, do you still remember your old friend, Wang Hong?" ”

Syllable! Shen Tingyu slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Someone, send Wang Hong to come up and ask questions." ”

Hearing this, Li Wen's face was full of horror, and he sat on the ground, looking like the sky was falling.

An ugly-looking woman walked into the lobby, knelt on the ground, and said, "Wang Hong, a woman of the people, bow to your lords." ”

"Wang Hong? Are you Wang Hong? How did you end up like this? In fact, it was nothing more than Shen Tingyu being so surprised, because Wang Hong's appearance at this time was really ugly, I saw that her face was red and purple, and none of her skin was still yellow.

Wang Hong's eyes were red, staring at Li Wen deadly, as if she wanted to chew his bones and swallow his flesh raw, she pointed at Li Wen with her finger, gritted her teeth and said: "The people deserve it, and they have nothing to do with this dog thief!" When the thief learned that he had lost the ledger, he blamed me on my head, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, trying to poison the woman to death. ”

"And now, are you willing to tell the truth?"

Wang Hong talked about how she hated Shen Tingyu that day, and how she retaliated against him with Li Wen: "I have a younger sister who was extremely pampered when she was a child, and later she married a useless husband, so she could only go to the street to sell tofu by herself. My sister cried very sadly that day, she said that she was slandered for stealing meat, and that my two parents died early and were adopted by relatives to survive. When he was young, he was often slandered for stealing. ”

Wang Hong paused and continued: "Heh! What a ridiculous and hateful thing it is that the slandered person will never be able to raise his head from now on, and the slandered person will have a great reputation. ”

"I was a wife, I hated to marry the wrong person, so I had a good relationship outside, he was Li Wen, Li Wen was originally a speculative businessman, insidious and cunning, by doing some shady deeds to make a fortune, that morning after listening to my cry, he promised me, to be our sisters. Zhang Wen sent someone to investigate, and learned that the person who slandered my sister that day was Shen Tingyu, the son of Shen Wanchuan, a well-known wealthy businessman in the county, that is, your lord. ”

"However, Li Wen had no intention of helping at that time, so I asked him: 'I see you constantly being attentive on weekdays, why are you so cold today?' ”

Li Wen was embarrassed to admit that he was afraid of offending Shen Wanchuan, and only said that he was busy with business. So I provoked him: 'I have devoted myself to you in disregard of honor, and you have allowed my sisters to be humiliated, and I thought you were worthy of my life, but I did not think that I would not even help you in this little favor.' ’”
