"There is no need for the little woman to deceive the adult, this matter is indeed the little woman's doing, and it has nothing to do with Shen Yuyao. ”

Shen Yulin said, without the slightest emotion or fear on her face.

Seeing this, Li Yu glanced at Hua Zhen, and then asked in a cold voice, "That official asked you, where did the scorpion that poisoned Jiaoyue come from?"

"The little woman bought it from a wandering witch doctor, and the little woman just wanted to buy a poison, but she didn't expect that the witch doctor still had such poison in his hand, so she became angry. bought a scorpion with two hundred taels of silver, and then handed the scorpion to Mother Wu, and told Mother Wu that if someone finds out, say that this matter was done by Shen Yuyao, and it was Shen Yuyao who gave you something, so Mother Wu will say that this matter was done by Shen Yuyao. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu's brows furrowed even deeper: "Since that's the case, why do you want to confess?"

"Because this matter was discovered by my brother and father, I knew that I couldn't hide it, so I could only confess. Shen Yulin said and kowtowed: "This matter is all done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with others." Vera forced my sister to death, she was my twin sister, and I wanted to avenge her. ”

Shen Yulin said and looked at Hua Zhen, the naked hatred in her eyes was undisguised.

"If it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't have died, and I would have avenged my sister. It's just that I didn't expect that Hua Zhen is your life after all, even God is helping you, I spent such a big price and failed to take your life, but I only poisoned you a maid, I am unwilling!

Shen Yulin said, as if she was extremely depressed in her heart, she couldn't help it anymore, and she began to be hysterical even when she spoke.

Seeing this, Li Yu was busy patting the wood: "Quiet and quiet!"

Shen Yulin quieted down and looked down at the ground in front of her.

Li Yu immediately asked Mother Wu: "Wu, what is going on with this matter?

Hearing this, Mother Wu was already frightened at the moment, and knew that Shen Yulin was only afraid that she was coerced to come over to confess.

Thinking about his children, if he said the wrong thing at this moment, he was afraid that Shen Chongmao would not let go of his children.

immediately changed his words: "Back to my lord's words, this matter was indeed ordered by the fourth young lady to do it, and it was the fourth young lady who asked me to wronged the second young lady." Everything is ordered by the fourth lady, and please check it out to the adults. ”

"Okay, Wu, you just said that this matter was done by the second miss, and now you say that it is the fourth miss, in the end that sentence is true. ”

Hearing this, Mother Wu was so frightened that the whole person was stunned, and the whole person was trembling and couldn't speak.

Shen Yulin opened his mouth and said: "My lord, I have pleaded guilty to this matter, at first I thought that no one would find out about this matter, so Shen Yuyao, who made Mother Wu wronged, now that I can't hide it, I have nothing to hide, the words have been made very clear, why should my lord ask again." ”

"Yes, my lord, Yu Lin has made it clear that this matter has nothing to do with Yu Yao, it was all done by her alone. Please also return Yuyao's innocence, Yuyao is my daughter, I know her character best, she will never do this. Shen Chongmao saw that Li Yu didn't speak, and immediately followed.

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Shen Yulin's face, and she looked at Shen Chongmao: "Daddy's daughter, there has always been only the eldest sister and the second sister." ”

Shen Chongmao's body was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to look at Shen Yulin's eyes.

Listening to Shen Yulin's sneer, it was even worse.

Shen Yuyao immediately knelt on the ground: "My lord clearly investigated, this matter was not done by me, I have never seen this Mother Wu from beginning to end, I was wronged, please return my innocence!"

Listening to Shen Yuyao say this, Li Yu glanced at Hua Zhen, and the current situation was very clear.

Even if he knew in his heart that Shen Yulin was a substitute ghost who was pushed out, but now that Shen Yulin confessed, the witnesses also admitted that he couldn't deny all this.

Suddenly looked at Hua Zhen's eyes, a little more helpless.

Hua Zhen understood, and immediately looked at Li Yu and said respectfully: "My lord, since Shen Yulin has confessed, please give my maid justice." ”

Hearing this, Li Yu nodded, and immediately looked at Shen Yulin: "Bold Diao Min, you are so vicious, you want to murder the county lord of Qinghe, now that you have confessed, this official should behead the public according to the law of Dayan, and if someone comes, he will be pressed down and put in prison first." ”

Hearing this, Shen Chongmao and Shen Songqiao breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Yu convicted Shen Yulin and put her in prison, then Shen Yuyao could be regarded as exonerating.

So he immediately looked at the officials of the Criminal Department, hoping that they would quickly escort Shen Yulin down, so that there would be no more incidents.

It's just that the official just arrested Shen Yulin, but he heard Hua Zhen say suddenly: "Wait." ”

Li Yu couldn't help frowning slightly and looked at Hua Zhen: "Does the county lord have anything else to say?"

"Lord Li, although it was the servant girl next to the county lord who Shen Yulin poisoned, this handmaid is really a little aggrieved, these scorpions were originally used to murder Hua Zhen's life. But I didn't expect her to lose her life in order to protect Hua Zhen, and now she is just a servant girl, but she can't hide the fact that Shen Yulin wants to murder me. I am the emperor's own Qinghe county lord, although it is not a golden branch and jade leaf, but also a jade butterfly, murdering the county lord and other accomplices to murder court officials should be punished, it should be a big crime to punish the nine clans. Master Li, do you say that?" Hua Zhen said, looking at Shen Chongmao.

Immediately, he saw Shen Chongmao's expression shocked, and immediately looked at Hua Zhen: "Zhen'er, what nonsense are you talking about, what are you punishing the Nine Clans, you are not frightened and talking nonsense." ”

"Uncle, I didn't talk nonsense, but according to Dayan's laws, my uncle is the Duke of Jin in Dayan, and he has been an official for more than ten years, so he should be clearer about Dayan's laws than Zhen'er. How can you say that Zhen'er is talking nonsense?" Hua Zhen said, her face did not change.

Li Yu didn't know Hua Zhen's thoughts, and immediately said: "Indeed, if it is according to the laws of Dayan, the county lord is the emperor's own seal and is the jade butterfly. is also the niece of the queen's mother, she should be regarded as a relative of the emperor, Shen Yulin's murder of the county lord is equivalent to murdering the emperor's relatives, according to the laws of Dayan, it is indeed the nine clans of the Zhulian. ”

Seeing that Li Yu also listened to Hua Zhen's words, Shen Chongmao was even more anxious: "Lord Li, this matter is not as serious as Lord Li said, Yulin did plot to kill the county lord, but it is not a crime to the nine clans." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Hua Zhen, and there was a little more warning on his face: "Zhen'er, don't talk nonsense anymore, don't forget, if it is the Zhulian Nine Clans, the three clans of the father and the three clans of the mother, your mother is the Shen family." ”

"If Uncle wants to remind Hua Zhen of this, Zhen'er will thank Uncle Hao, and please don't worry about it. Hua Zhen said that she was blessed, and then looked at Shen Chongmao's eyes with a little more smile: "Uncle, don't forget, my mother is dead, as for my surname Hua, not Shen." It is the nine clans of Zhulian, and it should also be the father of the fourth cousin, the mother of the three clans, and the husband of the three clans, which really has nothing to do with me. ”

"You!" Shen Chongmao didn't expect Hua Zhen to say this, and he suddenly didn't know what to say, you had been angry for a long time: "Hua Zhen, you don't know what to do!"

"I don't know what's wrong?" Hua Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this: "Then please ask my uncle to tell me what is good?"

Shen Chongmao saw that Hua Zhen didn't eat hard, and suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, thinking about Shen Yuxin's words at the beginning, he had to put down his body and persuade softly: "Uncle Zhen'er knows that you are angry with your uncle, and your uncle also understands that you have suffered a lot of grievances these days, which is indeed my uncle's fault, my uncle failed to protect you well and failed to take good care of you." If you have any grievances against your uncle, just go back and say slowly, your uncle will definitely compensate you, this is the court of the Criminal Department, not the flower hall in our house, you don't want others to see the jokes, you say but. Now that you are the only one in the Hua family, don't let people think that your father and mother and Queen Renxiao failed to praise you and lost their face. ”

Hua Zhen saw that Shen Chongmao wanted to play the emotional card at this time, and the coldness in her heart was even worse.

She can come to the Criminal Department today, she has been prepared for a long time, Jiaoyue is dead, how can one Shen Yulin be enough.

Li Yu saw the two arguing in front of the lobby of the Criminal Department, and immediately said: "This matter is indeed not a trivial matter, because it is the county lord of Qinghe who is murdered, and the official cannot be broken, and I am also asked to stay in the criminal department first, and let me enter the palace to meet the emperor to see what this matter should do." ”

Hua Zhen blessed her body when she heard this: "Since this is the case, I will bother Master Li." ”

Li Yu nodded when he heard this, and ordered the officials to guard them, and he went out directly. ”

After watching Li Yu leave, Shen Chongmao reflected: "You don't want the Shen family to be punished by the Nine Clans at all! You want to push this matter in front of the emperor and ask the emperor to ask the Shen family for sinking!"

"It's not too late for my uncle to understand. The corners of Hua Zhen's mouth raised slightly when she heard this, and the smile in her eyes was even worse when she looked at Shen Chongmao.

"Hua Zhen, why did your mother give birth to such a vicious daughter as you!" Shen Chongmao said, suddenly furious.

He knew that if this matter was stabbed in front of the emperor, the emperor would definitely ask him for the blame, and even if it was not for the Zhulian Nine Clans, he would take away the title of his Shen family.

It took him almost twenty years to climb to the position of the Duke of Jin, and now because of a Hua Zhen, everything will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Shen Chongmao only felt tightness in his chest, and he could barely stand.

Seeing this, Shen Yuyao hurriedly stood up and helped Shen Chongmao: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Shen Chongmao waved his hand, but he was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the corners of Hua Zhen's mouth raised slightly: "What's the matter, my uncle can't stand this?"

"Compared to what Uncle suffered, do you know what Zhen'er has experienced? Uncle just lost his official position, lost his title, and Zhen'er almost lost his life. ”

Hearing this, Shen Chongmao's eyes were a little more hateful: "But you don't have anything now, you live a good life, why don't you let us go!"

"Listening to my uncle's words, it seems that my fault is not true, my cousin's failure to kill me has become my fault, and it has become my aggressiveness and refusal to let you go. Didn't I have to be poisoned by them, I'm right, so I can come to you for revenge?" Hua Zhen said as if she had only nine cold days left, and a chill was born from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing Shen Chongmao, he couldn't wait to kill her with his own hands.

Shen Chongmao wiped the corners of his mouth: "Hua Zhen, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, you will be retributed sooner or later." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen suddenly laughed, and tears of laughter flowed out, as if she had heard an extremely ridiculous word: "Uncle is right, the sky has eyes, whoever does what knows in his heart will be punished sooner or later." ”

After speaking, Hua Zhen looked at Shen Yulin, and there was a little more sympathy in her eyes: "You didn't even care about your life for the Shen family, it's really sad, in their eyes, you are just a chess piece." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yulin's body moved, but she looked at Hua Zhen but didn't speak.

"You should understand my mood now, after I escaped death in Luzhou and found out that all this was designed by the Shen family behind my back, it is just like your current mood. I don't want to fight for anything, I don't want to do anything to them, and I never want to be an enemy of the Shen family, they are the ones who have forced me to a dead end step by step!"

When Shen Yulin heard this, a wave of hatred surged in her eyes like a dead man.

If she said that she hated Hua Zhen, it was Hua Zhen who ruined everything she had calculated, so she didn't want Hua Zhen to stay in the world.

Then her hatred for Shen Chongmao and Shen Songqiao at the moment is the hatred that comes out of her bones.

They wanted to get rid of Hua Zhen for the sake of Shen Chongmao and the Shen family, but they pushed themselves out for the sake of Shen Yuyao, regardless of their own life and death.

Shen Yulin thought, and looked at Shen Chongmao with eyes full of hatred.

Shen Chongmao immediately said loudly: "Yulin, don't listen to her, she is provoking the relationship between our father and daughter, you don't want to fall for her scheme!"

Hearing this, a sneer rose at the corner of Shen Yulin's mouth, but it was a desperate smile: "Father-daughter relationship, are we still father and daughter?"

Shen Chongmao suddenly looked at the despair in Shen Yulin's eyes, not knowing how to answer.

For a while, the entire lobby of the Criminal Department fell silent.

By the time Li Yu came back, an hour had passed, and Shen Chongmao vomited blood because of his anger, and his face was very ugly at the moment.

Seeing Li Yu coming in with a cold face, he immediately looked very nervous: "Master Li?"

Hearing this, Li Yu just glanced at him and didn't speak, but walked in front of Hua Zhen: "Lord Qinghe, the emperor has summoned you to the palace." ”

Hua Zhen looked at Gonggong Cao, who came in behind Li Yu, and immediately blessed Gonggong Cao.

Gonggong Cao nodded, glanced at Shen Chongmao and the others, and said coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze? ”

Because not everyone can enter the forbidden place of the palace, sisters Shen Songqiao and Shen Yulin can only stay in the Criminal Department.

Li Yu accompanied Hua Zhen and Shen Chongmao into the palace.

The emperor originally played chess with Qin Guifei, but after listening to what Li Yu said, Long Yan was immediately furious.

Then he went back to the Lin De Temple.

When Hua Zhen arrived, she saw that the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the Lin De Palace, and Qin Guifei was beside her, and when she saw Hua Zhen coming in, she immediately winked at Hua Zhen.

Hua Zhen lowered her head and knelt on the ground, and tears fell, but she didn't complain, just knelt on the ground, and the tears fell down one by one.

The more she is like this, the more people feel that she has been greatly wronged.

Shen Chongmao looked at Hua Zhen and tears fell as soon as he entered the door, his heart was not good, he understood the emperor's thoughts best, if Hua Zhen knelt on the ground at this time and begged the emperor to give justice. The emperor may still think that she is too ignorant and bored with her in his heart.

But she shed tears without saying a word, she is a hard-hearted person, and she has to soften her heart at this moment.
