Chapter 495: The man in Confucian robes was speechless!
The men desperately wanted someone to stand up and speak for them.
Some people were actually instigated to come out.
"Prince Regent, you keep saying that you want to open up a way for women to live. But according to what you said, women are now walking on the road to death. If what you said is true, getting married and having children is wrong, and it means walking on the road to death?"
The people standing next to the man quickly moved away from him.
Shen Lanxi looked at the student dressed in Confucian robes, but she was not angry. She said calmly, as if she was stating a fact, "Come closer and talk."
The scholar in Confucian robes who was named had a flash of fear in his eyes. He was really impulsive just now. What if Shen Lanxi took revenge on his family?
"Don't worry, you are innocent!" Shen Lanxi raised her voice.
The man in scholarly robes hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward with all his might.
Since there is no way to avoid it, you might as well give it a try. Who knows, you might be able to catch the eye of some minister.
Shen Lanxi: "You just misinterpreted what I meant. I believe everyone has this question, so I will take this opportunity to explain it to you clearly."
"Getting married and having children is a moral norm, but some people, even though they are born by women, look down on women and think that women are as lowly as mud. No one crawled out of a crack in the stone. If you only had a father and no mother, there would be a population born, and the country would have been destroyed long ago!"
Shen Lanxi chuckled: "It can be seen that women are just as important as men. Neither of them can be missing!"
The man in the Confucian robes continued, "What the Regent meant just now is that a woman will die after she gets married."
Shen Lanxi asked calmly: "What is the meaning of the existence of laws? Does it mean that there will be no bad people if there are laws?"
A man in Confucian robe at the pass.
Shen Lanxi continued: "Could it be that the law only applies to men and not women?"
The man in Confucian robes reached the pass again.
Wei Dongzhu: "Of course not. The law applies to both men and women, and to everyone. The law is a warning, and it also lets people know what the consequences will be if they break the law."
Shen Lanxi: "Well said. In the past, there have been occasional amendments to the laws that apply to men and women. But the marriage laws have never been amended, so many regulations are like chronic diseases that have not been treated in time and have become hidden dangers."
The man in the Confucian robe was obviously dissatisfied. Shen Lanxi's statement of the law was simply contempt for the law.
Shen Lanxi saw it all: "Just tell me what you have to say, I will forgive you today!"
The man in the Confucian robe was still hesitant, fearing that Shen Lanxi would retaliate later.
"Don't worry, I won't retaliate later. Of course, this is only for today and this matter. If you contradict me about other things today, I will still sentence you for the crime of contradicting me."
The man in the Confucian shirt raised his head and asked, "Really?"
Shen Lanxi: "This king likes people who are brave enough to speak out. You have great potential to be a censor."
The man in the Confucian robe was delighted and immediately asked, "How come the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty have become a chronic disease in your mouth?"
Shen Lanxi: "Let me ask you, will the rules for the students' scientific examinations change every year?"
The man in the Confucian robe raised his head proudly: "Of course."
"Why did it change?" Shen Lanxi said sharply.
Man in Confucian robes: "Of course it is to clear up the malpractices, to..." Even better.
The man's expression suddenly changed, and he realized that he was wrong.
Shen Lanxi chuckled: "Amending the law is naturally to correct the shortcomings, for the better."
There was a flash of annoyance in the eyes of the man in the Confucian robe.
Shen Lanxi: "Do you know the whole story of what happened to Madam Song today?"
The man in the Confucian robe shook his head: "I only heard the general idea, not the whole thing."
Shen Lanxi: "Well, I will tell you. The man in front of you is Tian Chunshan, and the one lying over here is Song Hehua, Madam Song."
Wei Dongzhu glanced at Tian Chunshan and saw that he wanted to speak, so he immediately ordered his men to tie up Tian Chunshan and gag him.
The woman who had an affair with him was so scared that she covered her mouth with one hand and her child's mouth with the other.
Shen Lanxi: "In order to seize the family property and Madam Song's position as the shopkeeper, Tian Chunshan asked his concubine to make a scene at the door a few days ago, creating the illusion that Madam Song was sick. In fact, he drugged Madam Song and locked her in the woodshed, intending to starve her to death."
The man in the scholar's robe changed his expression, pointed at Tian Chunshan and angrily shouted: "You evil villain, you are so shameless, so sinister and vicious, so shameless."
Shen Lanxi: "If I hadn't had the urge to go on a secret visit today to observe the people, I'm afraid the evil thief's evil plan would have succeeded in two days."
"When someone asks about it, this evil villain will use the mistress to ward off rumors, saying that the mistress made Madam Song sick, and then Madam Song was narrow-minded and became seriously ill and passed away. Then he will change his attitude, denounce the mistress, cut off all ties with her, and pretend to love his wife and family. After a few years, who will still remember Madam Song?"
"After a few years, this concubine changed her status and married Tian Chunshan with her child as a successor. Who would know?"
The man in the scholar's robe blushed, but he didn't know how to refute.
Shen Lanxi continued, "If this really happens, all the wealth that Madam Song has earned will be in the hands of the evildoers. Her children will be treated harshly by their stepmother, have to eat coarse food, and will be hastily arranged to marry and kicked out. In the end, all the wealth that Madam Song has earned will be given to her concubine. Are you satisfied with this result?"
Naturally dissatisfied!
Evildoers should be punished, how could these two adults get such a happy ending?
At once, everyone's anger was aroused.
At this time, all of Tian Chunshan's family members were also brought here.
"Son, what's the matter?"
"Let my son go."
“Let my father go.”
"Let my father go..."
Wei Dongzhu shouted angrily: "How dare you! You still don't kneel when you see the Regent?"
Tian Chunshan's mother shuddered, and then she saw Shen Lanxi, the only person sitting there.
Regent?
Tian Chunshan's mother was so frightened that she trembled violently.
Shen Lanxi: "When you came, you only saw Tian Chunshan who was being held captive and Madam Song who was unconscious here. You didn't see anything else. I feel so sorry for Madam Song and she is so hateful!" The last two words were for Madam Song's two children.
"Regent..." Tian Chunshan's mother knelt on the ground with a plop. She glanced at Madam Song and turned her head back in fear, not daring to look again.
Song Hehua is dead? Isn't she just dead? How did she attract the regent? Could it be...
When Tian Chunshan's mother turned around, she saw the concubine and her son kneeling on the ground. Her waist went limp and she felt as if all the bones and muscles had been pulled out of her.
Damn, why are they here too?
Shen Lanxi looked at Madam Song's children coldly: "Why don't you go forward and see if your mother is dead or not?"
The two people she named shrank back and retreated behind Tian Chunshan's mother.
"Mrs. Song has really raised you in vain."
The sound of footsteps came from far away, and the court officials who participated in the revision of the law arrived.
