That day, Zhao Zhixian was in the backyard looking over the documents when he heard someone report a complaint. Zhao Zhixian tidied up his clothes and went to the front of the hall to see Huang Wen. Huang Wen accused Shen Lian and his own sister of incest and adultery, and now his sister is pregnant, Shen Lian as a deceit, to marry his sister to his brother.
When Zhao Zhixian heard this, he knew it was nonsense. However, he couldn't stand Huang Wen, who was a local staff member and also known as the North Bar County's Huang Dancheng. Thus, he could only patiently call over Shen Yin for questioning.
Shen Lian was honest and honest, and did not have any ulterior motives. Thus, she obediently went. But this Huang Wen was sharp-tongued, spitting lotus flowers from his mouth. After an intense debate between the two sides, Shen Lian was still not a match for this Huang Wen, so he could only call his sister over to confront her.
At this moment, both sides had already fallen out with each other. Zhao Zhixian also knew that the two of them were both wealthy families in this county and that he could not afford to offend either of them.
When Shen Yin called his sister, Aunt Shen Xiu, who heard the whole story, pointed at Huang Wen and scolded him. Usually, Shen Xiu Niu was a bookworm, but today she was truly angered.
Later, Zhao Zhixian saw that he could not make up his mind, so he called the local midwife to help him check his body. Later, the midwife did not know why, but after the examination, she said that Shen Xiu was no longer a virgin and that she was pregnant.
When Luo Lingwei heard this, she sent someone over to call for the midwife. The midwife was trembling as she kneeled down, not daring to speak a word.
"I ask you, why did you slander Shen Xiu Nu's innocence and say that she was pregnant?" Luo Lingwei asked loudly.
The midwife was so frightened by this sound that she trembled and stammered, "Go back …" "Esteemed wangfei, this Shen Xiu really is pregnant. I …"
"You're still not going to tell the truth, are you? Fine, fine, fine. If you want something from me, I won't admit it! Someone, take it down and fight back twenty! " Luo Lingwei saw that the midwife really didn't want to cry, and even now she was still lying, so she angrily pulled her down and beat her to a pulp.
At this moment, miserable screams could be heard from the back hall one after another. The midwife and the coroner were both being held together until they were hit by a plank.
After a while, some people dragged the granny who had been beaten until she moaned, and Luo Lingwei continued to ask questions.
"I'll ask you again, why did you slander Shen Xiu?" Luo Lingwei pointed at the midwife and asked.
"Aiyo, you beat me to death. "Empress, if you are so kind, I will admit it!" I admit it! " At this time, the midwife bared her teeth and cried out in pain, "I examined Miss Shen's body that day because I wanted to earn some money. However, I didn't expect the Shen family to be so unenlightened that they didn't give me any benefits. As soon as I became angry, I immediately said that she was pregnant. I didn't expect that Miss Shen would be so righteous as to commit suicide on the spot. "
After the midwife finished speaking, everyone present understood. So the culprit was this midwife! At this time, Zhao Zhixian fiercely stared at the midwife, thinking that his originally great future had been ruined by her. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he actually went forward to bite the midwife's neck. The midwife's back was already covered in blood from the beating. Now that she was bitten by Zhao Zhixian and her age was so high, she immediately became agitated and died on the spot.
Luo Lingwei looked at Zhao Zhixian, who had already gone insane. She helplessly shook her head, thinking to herself that he was definitely dead. There was no need to torture him anymore, it was better to let him quickly explain his crimes.
Zhao Zhixian saw that Luo Lingwei did not blame him, and understood what she was thinking. Thus, he kowtowed and continued to talk about the matter.
The midwife wanted benefits but the Shen family didn't give them, so she slandered Shen Xiu for being pregnant. Shen Xiu's personality was tough, so naturally, she couldn't accept this humiliation. She took out a pair of scissors that she had sneakily taken away when she was at home. She stuck it into her heart and died on the spot.
At this time, Huang Wen and the rest were also dumbfounded. Huang Wen originally wanted to extort some money from the Shen family by extorting them, but he didn't expect that this matter would lead to a person's death. Shen Lian was also dumbfounded. This little sister had watched him grow up. Although she was his little sister, in terms of emotions, she wasn't much different from his daughter. But now, because of the rumors, she couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Shen Lian started crying on the spot.
He pointed at Huang Wen, Zhao Zhixian, and the others and shouted: "All of you treat human life as grass and insult my family. Just you wait, I will report this to my superior at the yamen!"
Saying that, Shen Lian left. It was because Shen Lian was too naïve. He forgot to ask Zhao Zhixian to fill in his sister's corpse first and to get the proof of his actual body. He just left the corpse in the hall and left.
After Shen Lian left, Zhao Zhixian went mad with anger. At this moment, he no longer cared whether Huang Wen was the richest person in the Northern Reaches, or what, he was directly sent flying.
Zhao Zhixian was furious. He had been unlucky enough to encounter such an unexpected calamity.
This Huang Wen also knew that he was in the wrong. Moreover, now that he had caused such a commotion, if he pretended to be deaf and mute, then from now on, Zhao Zhixian would no longer be able to sleep peacefully while working as a parent in Beihang County.
Thinking of this, that night, he secretly invited the Grand Master of Zhao Zhixian. After he told the Grand Master about his matter, he offered him three thousand silvers. The Grand Master thought for a moment, then agreed to help him think of a solution.
Later on, Huang Wen found out what the Grand Master's so-called method was. That night, the Grand Master took the silver to the study in Zhixian to discuss some matters with him.
"Master, look. This is what Emissary Huang asked me to bring. A total of three thousand silver taels. Previously, we agreed to split it equally, but I have already kept my one thousand and five hundred silver taels. This is yours. " The Grand Master chuckled as he said to Zhao Zhixian.
Zhao Zhixian looked at the silver taels, but when he thought of the dead bodies in the court during the day, his heart grew restless.
"Take it back, it's not messy enough." Zhao Zhixian pushed the pile of silver toward the Grand Master.
"Master, why do you have to go against this silver?" The Grand Master did not keep the money, but smiled and said, "What you are worried about is that this Shen Xiu Nu died in the court and cannot be dealt with. This lowly one has a foolproof plan. I will see if you dare to do it."
Zhao Zhixian looked at the Grand Master, then at the pile of snowflakes and silver on the ground. In the end, he still couldn't resist the temptation of real money.
"Tell me, what is your 'one hundred percent chance' plan?" Zhao Zhixian was playing with the silver in his hand. After looking at the quality of the silver, he asked the Grand Master.
"It's simple, we only need to find a pregnant woman and match her corpse with Shen Xiu Xiu!" As the Grand Master spoke, his eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness.
