Chapter 014: So Weak
Shen Lingxi seemed to be frightened by this battle, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and his clear eyes were instantly filled with tears, "What does Lord Fuzun mean by this?" The people's daughter just didn't understand the results of the autopsy, so she just asked for advice, why did it become a demon to confuse the public and obstruct the case when it came to the mouths of adults? ”
Mother An is the only person in this mansion who has seen Shen Lingxi's true face.
Seeing her pretending to be this little white flower again, Mother An only felt cold all over, and the soles of her feet were cold.
She realized that maybe this girl had been planning all this since the beginning of the meditation courtyard this morning.
Thinking of this possibility, An's mother felt even more terrifying.
She subconsciously took a few steps back and hid herself in the crowd, for fear of being targeted by Shen Lingxi.
When Steward Zhou heard the words "Shen Lingxi", he hurriedly sent someone to the front yard to invite Shen Ji, and when he saw that Yacha had moved the knife, he hurriedly stepped forward and played the round with a smile, "Lord Fuzun is angry, I have something to say, but it's just a little girl, why bother with the knife......
Governor Zhao wanted to cover up this matter, so he couldn't care to distinguish the expressions of the people in this mansion.
If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who created the problem.
He didn't forget to sell a good thing in front of everyone in the Hou Mansion, "Steward Zhou doesn't know, the marriage of the four girls in your mansion the day before yesterday was a matter that this dead girl was pretending to be a ghost, and it was only a day later, she dared to come to the mansion to provoke, if she was not severely punished, how could the official serve the public?" You can rest assured, this time I will make this demon girl draw a confession and pull her out to parade in the streets to hang her head, so as to set an example, and then your mansion can also wash away the stigma. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shen Lingxi's gaze, and there were a few more differences.
It turned out that the person who rescued the fourth girl from the tiger and wolf den of the Li family was actually the fifth girl!
"Lord Fuzun, spare your life...... The people's girls are wronged, and the people's daughters are really just asking for advice. Shen Lingxi's tears were wet on his eyelashes, and his tears fell on the sharp blade, making him even more weak and bullied.
She cried and begged, "Please also ask Lord Fuzun to look at the face of the people's daughter's father and spare the people's daughter's ...... this time."
"Shen Lingxi, do you know you're scared at this time?" Governor Zhao sneered, "It's late!" You are just an orphan girl, don't say that your father died early, even if he can climb up from the ground at this moment, when the official sees him, he will be punished for the crime of lax governance and lack of discipline, and let him go to the street with you to show the public! ”
"Lord Zhao is so majestic!" At this moment, an extremely displeased voice came into everyone's ears, "Ben Hou really wants to see how you want to cure Ben Hou's sin!" ”
Everyone followed the sound and saw Shen Ji, Marquis of Xuanping, walking out of the back of the crowd with a dark and calm face.
Zhao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute and smiled flatteringly, "Master Hou misunderstood, the lower official said that this demon girl who is making trouble......"
"Enchantress?" Shen Ji's face turned even darker, and he walked straight to Shen Lingxi, looked at Zhao Cheng, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, "Ben Hou doesn't know when I, my own daughter who is outcast, will become the demon girl in Lord Zhao's mouth!" Now that I'm here, do you want to detain me to the government office, or do you want to parade through the streets? Otherwise, let's go into the palace together to face the saint and let the emperor comment on it, what do you think? ”
"Parent, parent...... Daughter? Zhao Cheng's legs trembled.
Before he could react, he heard Shen Ji shout angrily, "Looking for death?" Don't put the knife down yet! ”
Shen Ji was born as a military general, and led the errand of the commander of the Yulin Army, under the anger of the thunder, he had a fierce aura, and he was so shocked that the officials hurriedly withdrew the saber on Shen Lingxi's neck, and knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.
That Zhao Cheng's legs were weak, and if it weren't for the help of the servants on the side, he almost fell to the ground.
But he had just been examined, his hands had not been washed, and there was a faint smell of corpses, Zhao Cheng reacted, pushed him away, held the trunk next to him, and retched.
"Daddy, save me......" Shen Lingxi panicked and grabbed Shen Ji's sleeve.
But Shen Ji frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and his expression was not as protective as his words.
Shen Lingxi didn't seem to notice it at all, and his wet apricot eyes were full of admiration and dependence when he looked at Shen Ji.
made Shen Ji feel as if he was a hero who fell from the sky and rescued her from the sea of suffering.
"My daughter really didn't mean it." Shen Lingxi wanted to cry, with a hint of crying, "It's just that I inadvertently started a hexagram and found out that my grandmother's illness was all because of resentment in the house." Only then did he go out with his four nephews to look for it, and sure enough, he saw a corpse hidden in this well. ”
"This person died strangely, if you don't understand his grievances, I am afraid that my grandmother's health will be hindered. Shicai's daughter saw that she had a hasty autopsy, so she had to ask questions. Unexpectedly, the prefect actually regarded his daughter as a demon girl...... If this is the case, then the palaces and temples in the capital that can be used as water and land dojos are not full of evil people...... The daughter is just a weak woman, and it is okay to be falsely accused of being a demon girl, but I am afraid that I will be teased by my father and in the court, which is a great sin for my daughter......"
In the end, Shen Lingxi's expression seemed to be extremely guilty of Shen Ji, and his tears were like beads with broken threads, crying so much that it was called a pear blossom with rain, and I felt pity.
All the people in the Hou Mansion present were moved.
Although these five girls were born in the countryside and are delicate and frail, they can stand up without fear of power at a critical time, not only to rescue the four girls, but also to think about their ancestors, they are really merciful, intelligent and filial.
Even Shen Ji eased his expression at the moment.
Taking Shen Lingxi back to his home was facilitated by his ancestors, and he had always been very reluctant, and he had never gone to Wangxian Village to take a look.
This is the first time Shen Ji has seen Shen Lingxi.
In the end, it was her own blood and bones, seeing her teary-eyed appearance, Shen Ji remembered her original partner An's who had been dead for many years.
He listened to Mother An's words yesterday, and thought that this girl was an arrogant and disobedient person.
I didn't expect it to be so weak......
"This kind of thing, you should come and report it to your father, and you shouldn't make an assertion...... Wouldn't it be a joke to make such a situation? ”
Shen Ji didn't want to be harsh on her anymore, and turned his head to Zhao Cheng and said: "Governor Zhao, how do you say it, do you want to parade the father and daughter of Benhou in the streets, or arrest them back to the mansion?" ”
"Misunderstanding...... Misunderstand...... It's all a misunderstanding. ”
Zhao Cheng took advantage of the vomiting effort, he had already come to his senses, and said with a smile: "The daughter of your mansion is not the kind of demon who pretends to be a ghost...... Since the girl thinks that the autopsy is sloppy, and she has some suspicions with the lower officials, if she doesn't do this, she will hand it over to Dali Temple for review, what do you think? ”
He knew that Shen Ji didn't want the case to make a big deal, and he threatened to hand over the case to Dali Temple.
is a counter-general's army, and he wants to use this to beat Shen Ji and let him stop in moderation.
Shen Ji is a reckless man, although he has a good face, he will not let others ride on his head because of this face.
Moreover, Shen Lingxi had already said in public that if the grievances of this corpse were incomprehensible, it would be in the way of the ancestor's body.
How could Shen Ji let this case be sloppily closed again.
"Governor Zhao is self-aware, since you can't investigate this case, then hand it over to Dali Temple to handle it, but just now you said to Benhou's daughter, Benhou will truthfully report to the saint, please make the decision for my father and daughter!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Cheng's face changed greatly.
Shen Lingxi covered the teary-eyed eyes of the handkerchief and bent it.
No one in the capital knows that Shen Ji, Marquis of Xuanping, once blocked an arrow for the emperor when he was young, although he was rude and reckless, he was the person most trusted and relied on by the emperor.
As long as he speaks in front of the emperor, even if Zhao Cheng's niece and niece come forward, he can't keep the black veil on his head.
The prefect of the yamen in the capital should finally be replaced by another person......
