Chapter 154: Scared

According to Meng Zhen's explanation, the little beggars honestly and authentically said what they saw and heard.

The kidnapper who originally wanted to hide the one hundred taels of silver tickets gradually changed his face because of the testimony of the two, and Shen Qin's nurse in the crowd was even more panicked.

Her legs were weak and her feet were weak, and she sat directly in the crowd watching the excitement.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and then the people, who had been away from her for a long time, pointed at her and exclaimed, "Isn't this the woman mentioned by the two little beggars?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked over.

Shen Qin's nurse couldn't wait to find a seam to hide herself firmly.

"Not to mention, really. Look at the dress she was wearing, the hairpin she was wearing, and the mole on her neck, weren't they all exactly the same as those two little beggars had described? ”

Someone pointed to the panicked Shen Qin's nurse, and counted where she could resemble the suspects confessed by the two little beggars.

The movement here quickly spread to the yamen, and as soon as the county magistrate gave the order, a government official immediately "invited" Shen Qin's nurse into the county yamen.

"That's her. My lord, this is the woman we saw. The little beggar, who was born with six fingers, pointed at Shen Qin's nurse, and said to the county magistrate with an excited face.

The county magistrate was shocked, "Who is in the hall?" Don't report the name quickly. ”

Shen Qin's nurse trembled, but she didn't dare not answer when the county lord asked.

"Slave, slave Wang Sun, is a descendant of Shen Xiucai's family."

As soon as Wang Sun's words came out, the county magistrates, county officials, masters, officials, scribes, and onlookers outside the yamen suddenly looked confused.

Shen Xiucai? Who?

Meng Zhen completely blackened her face.

This woman is able to speak, not only raising Shen Feng's name and trying to make the county magistrate have some scruples, but also protects her real master well.

After thinking for a while, Meng Hao took out a small piece of broken silver and threw it to a beggar standing not far from her who was watching the excitement, "This little brother, please go to the pen and ink shop on Ding'an Street and tell the shopkeeper Tong of the pen and ink shop about the matter here." ”

The little beggar is also a person of the sixth son, he has met Meng Hao a few times before, and knows that she is a long-term customer of his boss, so he dare not slack off at all.

The little beggar pinched the silver horn and ran away quickly, while Meng Hao continued to pay attention to the results of the court trial in the county office.

At this time, Wang Sun's family had already said Shen Feng's name, and the county magistrate was about to send a servant to the Shen family to invite someone.

This means that Shen Feng has a reputation for showing talent, otherwise the county magistrate would not use such a polite word as "please".

The officials took the order and left, and the county commander continued to interrogate Wang Sun, "Who are you serving in front of the Shen family?" ”

Wang Sun's face turned white.

She originally thought that she could be vague, after all, if Shen Qin appeared here, then Shen Qin's reputation would be completely ruined.

In this way, she, who is a nurse, will naturally be unlucky.

And if she can keep Shen Qin, then Shen Qin will be for the sake of her loyalty, and secretly take care of her.

Now, Wang Sun's family no longer expects herself to be able to get out of the way, she only thinks about being able to keep herself now, and being able to let Shen Qin remember her favor.

Only in this way can she have the opportunity to leave the county government and the Shen family alive.

As for whether to climb Shen Feng or not, Wang Sun's family actually hesitated, but at the moment when the county commander spoke, her fear of death still prevailed over her fear of Mrs. Shen.

Of course, she didn't want to put this on Shen Feng's head, if she did this, not to mention Mrs. Shen, even Master Shen, who had always loved Shen Qin, would definitely not let her get out of the Shen family alive.

After all, no matter how favored her daughter is, she will never be more valuable to Master Shen than her son who can read.

What's more, she is only the nurse of Master Shen's daughter, not Master Shen's daughter herself.

"If you have a question, answer quickly!" Seeing that Wang Sun's family was silent for a long time, the official closest to her immediately shouted.

Wang Sun's family didn't dare to delay any longer, she was afraid that the official would be angry and give her a stick.

"If you go back and go back to your lordship, the slaves and maids and slaves will serve in the inner house."

Her words were vague, and the county magistrate frowned when he heard it, "Who is serving next to the inner house?" ”

Wang Sun's wanted to lie, but the county magistrate was not serious at this time, "Huh? With a sound, the threat in it made Wang Sun's subconsciously tell the truth.

"Slave maid, slave maid is the grandmother of our young lady."

Her voice was so small that the people outside the yamen couldn't hear it clearly.

Fortunately, the county magistrate did not force her to say it louder, which made Wang Sun somewhat relieved.

"Wang Sun, this official asks you, why did you instruct someone to kidnap and capture the little son of the Meng family?"

Wang Sun racked his brains to think of an excuse, "The slave maid, the slave maid and the eldest lady of the Meng family have some personal grudges, and the slave maid can't help that woman, so she wants to grab her younger brother and threaten her in a fit of anger, so that she knows how powerful the slave and maid are." ”

The magistrate was noncommittal, "Then where did you get the silver ticket for the kidnapper?" ”

Wang Sun's speech.

She had given the man a hundred taels of silver, and now how could she find a source for the money?

It can't be said that this silver is her own, if she has so much money, can she still be guilty of selling herself to the Shen family?

Wang Sun's mind quickly turned, "Hui, Lord Hui, this silver is, picked up by the slave maid." ”

She can't say that this silver is her own, nor can she say that this silver belongs to Shen Qin, and of course she can't say that this silver belongs to other people in the Shen family.

However, the magistrate is so easy to prevaricate?

He squinted his eyes, unable to make out his expression, "Oh? So you picked up a total of two hundred taels of silver? Where did you pick it up? When did you pick it up? Can there be witnesses? ”

Wang Sunshi stubbornly continued to lie, "Lord Hui, the slave maid was picked up in the back garden of the master's house, and it has been a while since I picked it up, and the slave and maid don't remember the specific day." At that time, there was only one slave and maid in the courtyard, and the slave and maid had no witnesses. ”

She didn't have time to find someone to collude with her, so she could only say as little key information as possible.

I have to say that Wang Sun's is actually a little smart.

"I don't remember the time, and I don't have any witnesses, and your testimony is quite suspicious." The magistrate's face was indifferent, but the words he said made Wang Sun's heart tremble for a while.

He reached out and took the shocking wood from the table to play with, "Since you don't want to tell the truth, then the official can only let you taste all kinds of torture tools in the county office." ”

Wang Sun's family was almost scared to death by the magistrate.

Although she has never been in prison or in court, she has been listening to dramas and listening to books with Shen Qin.

Therefore, Wang Sun's mind was full of the sentence "come, the big punishment is waiting" in the drama at this time.

She didn't want to be "served by a big punishment", she didn't want to become like those plays, dying, covered in mottled bloodstains, and she didn't want to die directly in the county government because she couldn't stand the punishment.
