The paper fell, and everyone's eyes followed.
There are four pages in total, filled with dense black words.
Zhen was in a daze. She bent down to pick up the piece of paper closest to her and read the words on it carefully.
The further he looked down, Zhen's hands couldn't stop trembling, and his face turned a little pale.
Magistrate Liu leaned forward, his face full of gossip, looking at the three people below him, worried in his heart, for fear that he would miss something in the drama.
"How is it?" Shen Ji raised the corners of his lips, as if he was very satisfied with Zhen's reaction, "Is what is written above still clear?"
"The assassination was because Marquis Zhuo Wen's cousin was jealous of his talent and appearance, was dissatisfied that he was being suppressed in everything, and was greedy for the Marquis's property, so he attacked you."
"Yue Kui is your cousin's concubine. In order to hide him from his mistress, he was hidden in the ancestral hall. I didn't expect you to run into him. Take him home and treat him carefully."
Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of Zhuo Wenhou and his wife, Shen Ji felt a little happier, "When you said you wanted to raise a child from the ancestral hall, your cousin got the news and informed Yue Kui in time. Before you left, Yue Kui He used a lot of disgusting methods to prevent other clan members from going out, and he successfully ascended to the throne."
"After you bring him back to your house, his biological father will send a lot of people to search the place where I happened, for fear that I am still alive."
Shen Ji lowered his head and laughed, "If my adoptive parents hadn't taken me away to the capital for fear of the scandal, I would have become a dead soul long ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ji's eyes fell on those pieces of paper, and he whispered, "It clearly states how much silver Yue Kui transferred to his biological father. It wasn't until his biological father passed away that this amount of money was available." end."
"Yue Kui loves to smoke, and he is also a gambler. He often secretly mobilizes the treasury of Marquis Zhuo Wen to go out to eat, drink and have fun. He often buys murderers and kills. He is a frequent visitor to the Wanhua Club."
"No... this is impossible!" Zhen denied it flatly, her hands shaking so hard that her fingertips turned white from the force, and she covered her ears desperately, "Stop saying that, these are all lies!"
Shen Ji smiled mockingly and looked away.
"No wonder my daughter said that Yue Kui looks a little bit like you." Granny Yuan frowned and glanced at Marquis Zhuo Wen with some disgust, "Turns out we are cousins."
"But then again, he just followed his roots." Grandma Yuan snorted coldly, her eyes fell on Shen Ji's face, and her eyes became kind again, "How can such a bastard be half as talented as our Aji?"
"No..." There was no trace of blood on Marquis Zhuo Wen's face, and his figure was shaky.
He wanted to deny it, but the black and white words on the ground all showed his stupidity.
"No," Magistrate Liu suddenly came back to his senses and fixed his gaze on those pieces of paper, "Master Shen just said that Yue Kui hired someone to kill people. So these pieces of paper... aren't they evidence?"
As soon as the words fell, Ms. Zhen, who was still in a daze, suddenly regained her consciousness. She squatted down very quickly, picked up the paper on the ground, crumpled it into a ball, stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it with all her strength, and retched again. Several times.
Her operation shocked Granny Yuan and made Magistrate Liu stupid.
Only Shen Ji curled his lips as if mocking himself.
Granny Yuan was so angry that she laughed, and said without any mercy, "Zhen Yulan, you are really caring for a cousin."
There were tears in Zhen's eyes, and she couldn't help but cough a lot, "As long as...as long as I'm still here, don't...don't even think about bullying Kuier!"
Grandma Yuan rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk nonsense with her. She only said, "It's really crazy."
Magistrate Liu had no choice but to look at Shen Ji, "This..."
Shen Ji's face was calm and his tone was calm, "Don't worry, Magistrate Liu, now Yue Kui has disappeared, so I'm not in a hurry to convict him. I still have several identical pieces of evidence in my hand. If he comes back, he will definitely be unable to escape." Prison.”
"I see." Magistrate Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Master Shen is still careful."
"Some people..." Magistrate Liu moved his eyes slightly, looked at Zhuo Wenhou and his wife calmly, and said with a strange tone, "Mistaking fish eyes for pearls is a mistake that will last a lifetime."
Zhen's face turned pale. She could no longer listen to what others were saying. She just looked at Shen Ji and begged for mercy, "Chen Ji... No, Lord Shen! You can punish me however you want. I just ask you to let Kuier go." …”
Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly after coming back to his senses, and said warmly, "Originally... I can also have a good mother."
Mrs. Zhen paused, tears welling up in her eyes falling instantly. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Shen Ji turned his head and ignored the two of them. He smiled and said to the person above him, "Prefect Liu, these two people are violent to officials and regard the court's face as nothing. I have to ask you to deal with them impartially."
Magistrate Liu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen."
Shen Ji nodded, unwilling to stay any longer. He looked at Granny Yuan quietly and whispered, "Elder Princess, I will take you back."
"Okay." Granny Yuan stood up and raised her chin outside, "I'm tired of staying here too, let's go home."
Shen Ji supported her, and when he passed by Zhuo Wenhou and his wife, his eyebrows were still downcast and he didn't even look at them.
"Aji..."
Marquis Zhuo Wen's voice sounded from behind, and Shen Ji didn't stop, as if he didn't hear his call at all.
"Aji, we thought about accepting you!"
After hearing this, Shen Ji stopped in his tracks.
Zhuo Wenhou's eyes were red and his back was bent a little, "As long as you are willing to live in harmony with Kuier, your mother and I have never thought of making things difficult for you."
"Living in harmony?" Shen Ji chuckled, looking back with cold eyes, "Is he worthy?"
Zhuo Wenhou was stunned and speechless for a long time.
"I do long for family, but I also know in my heart that the relatives I seek are not like you."
Shen Ji's words were like knives, stabbing into Marquis Zhuo Wen's heart.
"I want you to truly understand how useless the adopted son you are holding in your hands is." Shen Ji curled his lips and spoke in a deep and powerful voice, "And I am the peak that he will never reach in his entire life."
"Master Hou, you have chosen the wrong person."
After saying this, Shen Ji stopped looking at them and turned to leave.
Granny Yuan turned her head and glanced at Zhuo Wenhou, who was frozen in place, and smiled coldly, in a medium voice, "A pair of idiots, so ridiculously stupid."

Yongcheng Hou Mansion
"Madam, there's news from the sideline!" Bai Ji held up the letter and ran into the courtyard happily, looking very excited.
Fang Xu, who was handling the accounts, raised his eyes in surprise when he heard this and murmured, "Finally there is news?"
Su Zi also came over and whispered, "After such a long time, I finally received a letter. The prince has been very moody these days. Changfan has been brushing the tribute bucket for eight days in a row."
Bai Ji nodded repeatedly and agreed in a low voice, "That's right. I don't dare to come forward when I see the prince, for fear of causing trouble."
Fang Xu opened the envelope, his eyes fell on the paper, and he glanced at ten lines. The further down he looked, the deeper the smile on his lips became, "Huixin won the battle and is about to return."
