Early the next morning, Shen Changze and Jiang Shu set off from Sangyanzhuang and went to Cen Hezhuang.

The distance between the two villages is only thirty miles, and they arrived before noon.

Unlike Sangyanzhuang, the Zhuang Guan of Cen Hezhuang is Shen's mother's distant nephew.

"Mrs. Hou has worked hard all the way, hurry up and go to the village to rest and eat." Zhao Dezhu, the head of the village, welcomed the two into the village with a smile on his face.

Xu received the news, and Zhao Dezhu was prepared.

Plenty of meals, clean houses, and unbroken books.

Jiang Shu understood that Shen's mother must have sent someone to report to Zhao Dezhu, but he couldn't find anything.

But she had already heard that Zhao Dezhu was lascivious and lustful, and he used the identity of Zhuang Tou and the name of the Hou Mansion to lewd his wife and daughter, and did countless evils.

Before entering the village, Jiang Shu ordered Huo Chong and Tan Yu to leave the team and quietly visit the villager.

"It's too hot, I'm tired, let's get here first." Jiang Shu put down the account book and got up.

Through the tulle screen, Zhao Dezhu stared at the shadow behind the screen, and his mind was full of reverie.

This screen was specially prepared by Zhao Dezhu, and the thin and visible figures are speculative.

Jiang Shu, who got up to leave, noticed a burning gaze, she looked back at the screen, and saw Zhao Dezhu peeping at the probe.

It's just a shame!

Jiang Shu frowned fiercely.

"What's wrong?" Shen Changze followed Jiang Shu's line of sight and frowned.

Zhao Dezhu was lustful, Jiang Shu told him. But he didn't expect Zhao Dezhu to be so bold that even his wife dared to covet it.

Shen Changze was annoyed, and he was about to have a seizure right away.

Jiang Shu stopped him.

After returning to the house, Shen Changze asked angrily, "Why did you stop me?"

Jiang Shu pursed his lips and said, "If I don't stop it, what is the Hou Ye going to do?"

"Naturally, Xingshi asked him to teach him a lesson."

No matter how distant a relative is, he dares to be disrespectful to his wife, and he can't tolerate it.

"On what charges do you teach?"

"It is disrespectful to covet the Lady of the Hou Mansion."

"Is there any evidence? How to convince people?"

Shen Changze was silent.

Just glanced through the screen, and it was not a certificate.

"Besides, how does Master Hou plan to teach a lesson?" Jiang Shu asked aggressively.

Dealing with an old pervert like Zhao Dezhu, reprimanding and scolding is not painful, and small punishments are insignificant, and it is impossible to curb his evil deeds at all.

If you want to deal with it, you have to deal with it thoroughly, so that he has no possibility of doing evil again.

In the evening, Huo Chong and Tan Yu returned.

"Master Hou, madam. This is the crime of Zhao Dezhu as described by the tenants of Zhuangshang. Huo Chong presented a stack of papers.

Shen Changze took it and looked at it carefully.

On the eighth day of June five years ago, Zhao Dezhu injured Father Wang, forcibly occupied Father Wang's fourteen-year-old daughter, and forcibly married him as a concubine.

Fourth, on the third day of February of the previous year, Zhao Dezhu insulted Li Meiniang, but Li Meiniang did not obey and was forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

On the fifth day of the lunar month of the fourth year before last, Zhao Dezhu forcibly accepted Chen Xiu'e as a concubine and was rejected, and had a conflict with Chen Xiu'e's fiancé Lin Lei......

On 16 April last year, Zhao Dezhu took advantage of Zhang's busy farming to sneak into Zhang's family and rape his pregnant wife, causing his fetus to be miscarried.

Shen Changze looked at them one by one, his face was as cold as ice, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out.

Huo Chong and Tan Yu stood quietly, their faces full of anger and hatred.

These charges were inquired by Huo Chong from door to door with Shen Changze's token, and Tan Yu recorded them word by word.

At first, Zhuang Min was very resistant, afraid that the Hou Mansion would protect Zhao Dezhu, but they were embarrassed and they didn't dare to tell the truth.

Huo Chong and Tan Yu struggled to persuade the villagers to open their mouths in disbelief.

"Does he still have the Heavenly Principle King Law in his eyes!" Shen Changze was furious.

Jiang Shu took it from his hand and read it carefully.

Looking at it, Jiang Shu's brows furrowed little by little, and in the end, his face was full of anger like Shen Changze.

"Why didn't they report to the officials, or to the Hou Mansion?" Shen Changze was puzzled.

Huo Chong said: "I have reported it." But Zhao Dezhu bought off the yacha, and there was insufficient evidence to make him surrender to the law. ”

"As for the Hou Mansion, Zhuang Hu said that there was no response after the report."

"Later, Zhao Dezhu ordered the thugs to be strictly guarded, not to let the villagers leave the village, and threatened their families."

"A mere head of a village is trying to cover the sky with one hand." Shen Changze paced back and forth angrily.

"They have reported to the Hou Mansion, do you know?" Shen Changze asked Jiang Shu.

In the past six years, the Hou Mansion has been run by Jiang Shu.

Facing Shen Changze's suspicious gaze, Jiang Shu said coldly: "I have heard about this matter, but that person was summoned by my mother at that time, and I have never seen it. ”

She vaguely remembered that it was the second year she married into the Hou Mansion, and although she was in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, some things were still handled by Shen's mother and not by her.

Shen Changze's questioning is really ridiculous.

"You mean, his mother is shielding him." Shen Changze was shocked and unbelievable.

"What does Master Hou think?" Jiang Shuxing looked at him with cold eyes.

Shen Changze opened his mouth and was speechless.

He suddenly remembered that when he left the house, Shen's mother had told him: Be lenient with your relatives, even if there is a mistake, you should deal with it appropriately.

A good one is generous, and a good one is discretionary. Shen Changze only understood what he meant at this time.

Seeing that Shen Changze was silent for a long time, Jiang Shu asked with a cold face, "What does Master Hou plan to do?"

Family rules and national laws, Zhao Dezhu committed all of them, and the offense was extremely serious.

No matter what the reason, there is no forgiveness for the crime.

But Zhao Dezhu is Shen's mother's distant nephew, will Shen Changze deal with it impartially?

Or will you continue to cover up like Shen's mother?

Shen Changze fought between heaven and man in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Severe punishment will not be granted." ”

If he commits such a serious crime in the army, he will be beheaded by military law.

Shen Changze hated Zhao Dezhu's behavior.

"Huo Chong, Tan Yu, you guys go again." Jiang Shu commanded.

"Yes." After hearing this, the two of them took the order and left.

"Let's go, Master Hou, let me see how you punish Zhao Dezhu severely." Jiang Shu got up and walked to the hall.

Shen Changze twisted his eyebrows and followed.

Approaching dinner time, Zhao Dezhu prepared a small wine and waited in the house to eat, and was a little inexplicable when he was summoned at once.

"Master Hou, madam, I don't know what to call the villain to come here?" Zhao Dezhu bowed and stood in front of the screen and asked.

He didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, and he was still peeking at Jiang Shu with thief eyebrows.

Seeing his actions, Shen Changze got up angrily and kicked over the tulle screen.

"The dog is so daring, he dares to covet Mrs. Houfu, are you dead when you are the marquis?"

Shen Changze suddenly shouted angrily, and the frightened Zhao Dezhu fell to the ground with his legs weak, his head lowered and he didn't dare to look at Jiang Shu who was seated.

"Master Hou is angry, the villain doesn't dare." Zhao Dezhu begged for mercy in fear.

Zhao Dezhu is Shen Muyuan's eight-pole son and nephew who can barely fight, and he has no kinship with the Hou Mansion, so he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of Shen Changze.

Jiang Shu looked at it coldly.

Zhao Dezhu, who was kneeling on the ground, was about thirty years old, with a fat head and big ears and a shiny face, and at a glance, he knew that he had not scavenged and exploited the villagers.

"You don't dare, why don't you dare? Ben Hou sees that you are very bold! Shen Changze angrily threw Zhao Dezhu's accusations in front of him.

Zhao Dezhu sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good, so he trembled and picked up the paper on the ground to check.

After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, he kowtowed in a panic and shouted: "Master Hou Ming investigated, the villain was wronged." ”
