Chapter 122: Visitors from Jingzhao Prefecture

The people from Jingzhao Prefecture came very quickly. Jingzhao Prefecture was responsible for the security of the capital and the surrounding prefectures and counties. So during the New Year, when other officials were on vacation, they could only take turns on duty. Coincidentally, the person who came today was an acquaintance, Jingzhao Shaoyin Zhou Zhongan. Originally, such a matter did not require Jingzhao Shaoyin to go there in person, and the captain could just take someone there.

But because a servant of the He family reported the case today, and the Minister of Dali Temple was mentioned, the criminal Cao who took over the case heard that it was the He family of the Bachelor's Mansion, and the case was reported by the Minister of Dali Temple. He was afraid that it would be a big case. If you dare to delay, go and report it to Mr. Fu Yin immediately.

It happened that Zhou Zhongan was with the prefect at the time. When he heard that the matter was related to the Shen family, he hurriedly said that he would take people to go there.

While waiting for the arrival of Jingzhao Prefecture, Old Lady Shen went home first accompanied by Madam Shen, while Mother He stayed at Du's house with Du Yunru's mother. He Ying was worried about Du Yunru's condition, so Shen Xi accompanied her to Du's house to wait for the doctor's diagnosis. The rest of the people were waiting at He's house for the arrival of Jingzhao Prefecture, including Ma Jizong, who was being held down by Shen Su and kept crying.

"Miss Shen Si, what's going on?"

"Zhou Shaoyin, this man broke into a private residence and committed a crime, and even tried to escape."

When Ma Jizon saw the official coming, he wanted to open his mouth and cry out that he was beaten, taking the initiative. However, he saw that the official was obviously acquainted with this family, and he cried out in his heart, "God wants to kill me."

"I didn't break into someone's house. The Du family is my in-laws' family, so why can't I go there?! It was Du Yunru who hit the wall herself. I didn't do anything, sir. If she dies, you can't blame me."

His words made everyone present frown, especially the father and son of the He family. They were neighbors. When the girl from the Du family got married, they went to the wedding banquet. They never expected that she would marry such a thing.

Ma Jizon was not tall, and the way he struggled to defend himself looked like a sick chicken flapping its wings in disorder.

"Sir, this female thief just hit me! I'm going to report her to the authorities. If you're protecting me, I'll file a complaint!"

"Oh, you are so arrogant! You are the only one who is complaining!" Shen Yuan pretended to raise the whip again.

"Okay." Shen Yun suppressed his daughter's whip, pulled her behind him, and began to tell Zhou Zhongan what had happened.

"Our family came out of the He Mansion and were about to go home. Outside the door, we heard crying from the Du family next door. Then this man ran out of the house with a look of horror on his face. I thought that something was probably going to happen, so I let him Quanzi detained the person. Then the servants of the Du family came out and said that Miss Du had hit the wall.

As for what happened to the Du family before, you can ask Miss Du's mother and she will know. "

"She hit her head against the wall by herself, what does it have to do with me! And this bitch hit me with a whip! Don't think you are great just because you are an official! My cousin is the queen in the palace, just wait, I will make sure you don't even have a job as an official."

"Zhou Shaoyin, when my son arrested him, he was swearing at me. I was so anxious to protect my brother that I resorted to violence. Shen has already taught my daughter a lesson. Never resort to violence again."

"Bullshit! You guys are in the same group! I'm going to file a complaint!"

"Come here, this person slandered the court officials and obstructed public affairs. Take him back to Jingzhao Prefecture first."

Ma Jizon never expected that even though he had moved the empress out of the palace, this pretty boy still dared to arrest him.

"Why did you arrest me? Who do you think you are?!"

"You say that I am partial to my superiors. Isn't that slandering an official appointed by the imperial court? Take him away."

Zhou Zhongan waved his hand to signal his men to take the people away quickly. He was too lazy to waste time talking to such a person. Being the empress's cousin was nothing. His father was a duke or a doctor of history. It was no problem for him to report eight empresses in one breath. If necessary, he would even report the emperor!

"Thank you, Lord Shen, for telling me what happened. I will go to the Du family to question them now."

After Zhou Zhongan finished speaking, he was about to take his men to the Du family next door. Seeing this, Shen Yuan quietly followed behind him, thinking of going together to see how Du Yunru was doing.

Shen Yun saw it, but ignored her and let her go.

"Why don't you stay here today? It's getting late, so don't go back."

Shen Yun thought about it and agreed, "Okay." Although the case has not yet reached the stage of being submitted to the Dali Temple, he also wanted to see what was going on with the Du family.

"Miss Shen Si swings the whip so powerfully." Zhou Zhongan gave Shen Yuan a thumbs up.

"It was only two lashes. He got it easy."

Hearing that the official from Jingzhao Prefecture was coming to question her, He's mother waited in the main hall with Chen Wenyue, who was crying non-stop.

As soon as Shen Yuan entered the room, he asked, "Aunt, how is Sister Yunru?"

"The doctor said he was hit hard and he hasn't woken up yet. Fortunately, his life is not in danger, but he may be left with a scar."

"I still have some leftover scar removal ointment. I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Shen Yuan remembered that he still had some leftover ointment from the last time he was injured. It was all prescribed by the imperial physician in the palace and was very effective.

"Mrs. Du, can you tell me what happened today?"

Considering that her daughter had just been in trouble, Zhou Zhongan asked her questions gently. However, after several questions, Du's mother cried and said nothing useful. Even Mrs. He was angry. What was the point of crying at this time? She should quickly explain the matter and seek justice for her daughter.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Zhou Zhongan was about to go out and ask the servants in the mansion when he saw Shen Xi walk in.

"What a coincidence, Third Miss."

"Master Zhou." Shen Xi bowed, "Sister Yunru has woken up. She said she has something to say, but she is unable to move now. Please move aside, Master."

"Okay, no problem. Please lead the way, Miss San."

"Sister, sister Yunru is awake. I'll go back and tell my father and uncle first. Call them."

Shen Yuan thought that if Sister Yunru wanted to talk about the thing she "heard", she would be embarrassed to say it the more people there were. It would be useless for her to go there at this time, so she might as well go back first.

"Okay, it's getting dark now, so be careful when you go there."

"I know." Before leaving, Shen Yuan said to Zhou Zhongan, "Zhou Shaoyin, I'm going back first. If that jerk sues me for assault, come find me again. I'll go record his statement."

Zhou Zhongan couldn't help laughing, thinking that she was indeed the daughter of the Supreme Court Justice. "Don't worry, it was only two lashes. She was wearing so much in the middle of winter, how bad could it be? I can't sue her."

When Shen Yuan heard this, he said with regret: "What a pity."

That kind of jerk deserved no matter how many beatings he received. He was hiding his health problems, afraid that others would know, and dared not divorce and remarry, nor take a concubine, but told others that it was Sister Yunru who would not allow him to do so. He even disregarded human ethics and made Sister Yunru and his father...!! Shen Yuan was so angry that he almost died!

Shen Yuan had no place to tell this matter, not even to her father. She thought Sister Yunru wouldn't want anyone else to know about this.
