Because Cheng Jinxing was hiding far away, Gao Qiang and Madam Shen Er had already entered the inner room, and he could not hear their conversation at all.
Fortunately, I saw Ji Mingxuan and Zhang Chuan rushing over from a distance.
He hurried over and told Ji Mingxuan and Zhang Chuan about the situation.
Zhang Chuan jumped onto the roof without thinking, and without making any sound, he stuck to the tiles and heard the conversation in the inner room.
Cheng Jinxing was extremely envious.
What Gao Qiang said to Madam Shen Er in Young Master Shen San's room was enough to get them arrested.
Gao Qiang knew some kung fu, but he could only knock the yamen runners unconscious in one blow. Facing Zhang Chuan, who had real kung fu skills, he was completely unable to fight back.
After arresting the two men, Ji Mingxuan interrogated them. At first, they refused to confess.
But when Ji Mingxuan said that in the coroner's autopsy report, the two stab wounds on the body of the Second Young Master Shen were not fatal injuries at all. His fatal injury was suffocation by being strangled by someone. Now, there are already corpse spots on the body.
Mrs. Shen was panicked, and Ji Mingxuan calmly told her that if she didn't believe him, she could go to the yamen and see the fingerprints on Young Master Shen's neck.
Then Mrs. Shen Er began to question Gao Qiang.
In this way, everything came out.
For women of this era, men are as important as sons. When a woman is disappointed in a man or loses him, her son becomes even more important.
Although Second Madam Shen had an affair with Gao Qiang more than ten years ago, Second Young Master Shen was born after her ten months of pregnancy. Moreover, Second Young Master Shen was sweet-spoken, and Second Madam Shen had always liked this son very much.
Just like that, Gao Qiang, Mrs. Shen Er, and most of the servants in the Shen Mansion were all brought to court.
The entire trial process went very smoothly, and the people at the door were amazed.
Cheng Yue didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
Finally, Mrs. Shen Er and Gao Qiang were sentenced to beheading for jointly murdering Mrs. Shen and Master Shen Er, and Gao Qiang for killing Master Shen Er alone. The case was reported to the Ministry of Justice by Taoyuan County, and after the document from the Ministry of Justice came down, the execution would be carried out in the autumn.
All the servants in the Shen Mansion who were under Gao Qiang's orders and knew about and participated in this matter were sentenced to exile, and the sentence was to be executed the next day.
This verdict made the people of Taoyuan County applaud and their curses on Madam Shen Er and Gao Qiang were no less than the curses on Xue Hanyu yesterday.
They simply couldn't believe that there was such a cruel and ruthless person in their Taoyuan County. If beheading didn't require a document from the Ministry of Justice, they would have been eager to behead this shameless person immediately.
And when Ji Mingxuan was investigating this case, he found that even if Master Shen Er had not been killed, he would probably not be better off.
Because under the instigation of Gao Qiang and Mrs. Shen Er, Master Shen Er was actually involved in two major cases in Da Qi recently, trafficking in illegal salt and iron. Although he played only a small role in it, it was enough to make him end up like he is now, and maybe even implicate the Jiangnan Shen family.
The Shen family in Jiangnan is on good terms with the General's Mansion. Xue Hanyu's eldest cousin is also a good friend of Ji Mingxuan.
Therefore, for the sake of Xue Hanyu and his good friend, Ji Mingxuan was directly eliminated as a future trouble for the Shen family.
Ji Mingxuan closed down all the businesses of the Shen family. Of course, he did not touch the part that belonged to Old Lady Shen and Xue Hanyu, and all the crimes that did not belong to Second Master Shen were written onto Second Master Shen and Gao Qiang.
