Shen Tao didn't expect Fu Jingene to come, but he still didn't have expectations: "Fu Jieyuan is not familiar with life here, and he can't help much when he comes." ”

When Lu Degen heard this, he said, "Uncle, you are wrong. My uncle has a wide range of friends, not only with the son of the envoy's family, but also with the nephew of the Governor Madame Liu. ”

Shen Tao's spirit was shocked: "Are you true? ”

Lu Degen smiled and said, "Uncle, how dare I lie to you about such a big thing?" ”

"Young master, most of the students of Baitan Academy are the children of the official eunuch family. My uncle studied in it and made many friends, several of whom were like brothers. ”

Fu Jingene understands the importance of networking. However, he knew that catching up was not a business, so when he first entered the academy, he was not busy making friends but devoted himself to his studies. It wasn't until he entered Class A and passed the exam that he began to socialize, and at this time many people were willing to make friends with him.

Of course, these news were deliberately revealed by Jiang Fangfei to Lu Degende.

Shen Tao smiled bitterly. The children of these eunuchs are full of arrogance, and they don't bother to deal with them if they want to climb to other people's houses on weekdays, but Qingshu's fiancé can call these people brothers. This gap is really not ordinarily large.

It was also at this time that Shen Tao finally understood Shen Shaozhou's good intentions in moving to Pingzhou.

Lu Degen said: "Uncle, let's go back quickly, my uncle said that he wants you to explain this case in detail." ”

When he saw Fu Jingene, Shen Tao understood why he had to speak so highly of Fu Jingene. has not yet reached the weak crown, and there is a terrifying momentum on his body.

Shen Tao was very moved and said: "Jing Ene, the eldest master is coming, and I feel like you." ”

Even if you can't help, people who come from afar should sincerely thank you. Not to mention that Fu Jingene still knows so many people and can help his father.

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "I'm all for Qingshu." Brother Shen, let's not talk about it, you tell me about this case. ”

I have just learned from the descendants of the Shen family that Shen Shaozhou's case has not yet been closed. Therefore, he has been kept in prison.

Shen Tao said everything he knew: "I did an autopsy and said that my mother was broken on the head with a heavy object and bled to death. The people of the Lu family bit it to death, saying that my mother was beaten to death by my father. ”

Fu Jingene already knew this from Lu Degen, "What did your father say when you passed the hall?" ”

Shen Tao said: "My father said that my mother committed suicide by hitting the wall, so her forehead was shattered. ”

"Then why did your mother commit suicide by hitting the wall?"

Shen Tao couldn't speak.

Fu Jingene said: "If you want me to help you, you should tell me everything you know. ”

Even if he wants to go to Lord Zhuo, he should first understand the whole case, otherwise he will see what Lord Zhuo will say.

Shen Tao blushed and said: "My father said that my mother had an affair with someone and was discovered by him, and under his angry scolding, my mother committed suicide by hitting the wall in shame." ”

Fu Jingene said: "Fourteen years ago, you were already six years old, and a six-year-old child should have remembered. Whether your mother has an affair with someone, you should know. ”

Shen Tao shook his head uncomfortably: "I don't know, I don't know anything, I really thought that my mother died of a sudden illness." ”

Fu Jingene asked: "When you pass through the court, is there any other evidence besides the testimony?" ”

"There is also the testimony of the Lu family. The old lady of the Lu family said that my father often beat my mother, and he was injured all over his body. That time, it must have been my father's heavy shot, which killed my mother. ”

"The old lady of the Lu family is your grandmother."

Shen Tao said hatefully: "I don't have such a foreigner. After the Lu family sued my father to the Yamen, I cut off relations with them. ”

"Are there any other witnesses, such as the personal maid and mother-in-law who serve your mother closely?"

Shen Tao shook his head and said, "No." After my mother died, my mother-in-law and maid were sold by my father. ”

"Where did it go?"

Shen Tao smiled bitterly: "My father hates these people and sold them to Nanyang and other places. ”

"What about the physical evidence?"

Shen Tao said: "There is no physical evidence, only the testimony of the people and the testimony of the Lu family. ”

"What Mrs. Lu and the Lu family said cannot be used as testimony." Fu Jingene said: "As for the testimony of the puppet, this is not a problem. When someone breaks his head with a foreign object and he breaks his head, the wound presented by the two is different. Experienced work can be seen. ”

"I estimate that the case has not been closed by Governor Meng, also because of insufficient evidence."

Shen Tao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "You mean, as long as the testimony of the confession is overturned, my father can clear his grievances and go home." ”

Fu Jingene said: "The premise is that your mother did commit suicide by hitting the wall, not being beaten to death by your father." ”

Shen Tao shook his head and said, "No, I believe my father." ”

Fu Jingene said: "You still go and make some connections, let me see Uncle Shen." ”

He never fights battles that he is not sure of. Only when Shen Shaozhou personally said that Lu committed suicide could he go to ask Zhuo for help.

Shen Tao hurriedly said, "I'll arrange it." ”

After saying that, he hurried out with his personal entourage, and Gai Chun stayed.

Fu Jingene asked him: "There is no conclusive evidence in this case to prove that Uncle Shen can't be convicted of killing his wife at all, normally speaking, the government should release him." ”

Gai Chun smiled bitterly: "Twenty days ago, according to what our master said, Governor Meng sent two catchers to Nanyang to find Lu's personal maids. ”

Sending someone to Nanyang to find a certificate, it will take two months for this round trip to go smoothly. The food and travel expenses along the way are a lot of money, and the government does not have this expense.

Moreover, Meng Zijie is not a big man. He went to such great lengths to find a few maids, unless it was for greater benefit.

Thinking of this, Fu Jingene asked directly: "Did you send money to Governor Meng?" ”

Gai Chun nodded and said, "Yes, from the time my master was locked up until now, we have sent 100,000 taels of silver to Governor Meng's mansion." ”

Fu Jingene understood, and immediately laughed: "Governor Meng's Mansion is treating your Shen family as a fat sheep." ”

There is an old saying that the prefect of the broken family is the county order, and Meng Zijie's move is clearly to squeeze more money.

Gai Chun said: "The master is in prison, if we don't send money, the master will suffer." ”

Fu Jingene smiled, he would not let Shen Shaozhou come out in exchange for such a generous amount of money. If you close it for a month, you will get an extra hundred thousand taels of silver. Locked up for three or five months, it is three and a half million taels of silver, so much money is used to make a point, and finding the right way is enough for him to move up two levels.
