In Mrs. Yun's view, the old lady didn't like Shen Han.
But no matter what, Shen Han's surname is Shen after all.
With the word "Chen" in his name and living in the Shen Mansion, he is ultimately related to the Shen Family Marquis Mansion.
The old lady doesn't care about Shen Han, but she also cares about the Shen family's face.
In the high hall, Magistrate Xu is firmly in a high position, and he is not in a hurry to try the case.
Just waiting for the old lady of the Shen family to deliver the news.
After so many years in the court, to be able to sit in the position of magistrate, he naturally has his own wisdom.
Not long after, the boy ran back in a hurry.
"What did the old lady of the Shen family say?"
The others did not speak, but Magistrate Xu asked first.
"Back to the magistrate, the old lady of the Shen family said that people who make mistakes must be punished.
The Shen family's face is disgraced today, but the Shen family's children will earn back their lost face on the battlefield..."
After the boy said this, everyone understood.
This fifth young master of the Shen family has been completely given up by the Shen family.
Looking at the young man in the hall, Magistrate Xu even sympathized.
In this generation of the Shen family, there is a proud eldest son like Shen Ye, whose talent is even better than that of his grandfather when he was young.
With the existence of such a brother, the other children of the Shen family naturally look dim.
What's more, the person Shen Han is marrying is the person he likes as his arrogant elder brother.
In order to break off the engagement, the Shen family had to sacrifice him...
Magistrate Xu shook his head helplessly. In Shen Han's situation, it would be better to be born in a poor family.
After being tortured with ink, his future status will be like that of a pariah. I wonder if this young man still has the will to live...
Among the government offices, only Mrs. Yun was still pleading for Shen Han.
He begged Mrs. He and Mrs. Xie to forgive Shen Han.
"Sister Yun, Shen Han has ruined the family tradition of our Shen family, and his theft has brought shame to our whole family.
If no punishment is imposed, and if others follow suit, how can our Shen family bear the title of general? "
The two ladies still said that they had no choice but to do this for the sake of family tradition and the cultivation of the younger generations of the Shen family.
The younger members of the Shen family who followed had expressions of indifference.
Perhaps in their opinion, Shen Han really committed theft and was brought to this government office.
Outside the government office, the onlookers were talking quietly.
Most people spoke for Shen Han and felt that the two ladies were too harsh.
Someone also mentioned that Shen Han was picking up medicine residue in the medicine shop a few days ago, which showed how bad the fifth young master of the Shen family was living in the Shen family.
Taking that money must have been forced by life...
But what do ordinary people like them think of it?
"The fifth young master of the Shen family, the witnesses and physical evidence are here, do you have anything to say in defense?"
Magistrate Xu looked at Shen Han. If the young man encountered such a disaster, he might have already been in a state of confusion.
If the defense is weak, even if he, the prefect, wants to help, it will be of no use.
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Han.
After a long silence, it was finally his turn to speak.
If someone accuses you of eating jelly secretly, the stupidest way is to cut open your stomach and show it to outsiders.
In the face of slander, unless there is ironclad evidence, defending yourself is a very poor way to deal with it.
Shen Han had already thought of his words in his heart. Since you framed me, I'm sorry, but I will also frame you.
"Master Magistrate, this junior Shen Han lives alone in the vegetable garden on the east side of Shen Mansion. Although he lives a poor life, he will never engage in such frivolous things as stealing.
The whole thing was actually because someone wanted to teach me, a descendant of the Shen family, a lesson to shut up and make me dare not speak any more. "
As soon as Shen Han said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
This thing seems to be getting more interesting.
"Chen Han, what you mean by this is that someone has framed you?"
"If you tell me back to the magistrate, that is indeed the case."
Magistrate Xu frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Xie, the second wife of the Shen family, next to her.
"The person who came out to testify against you is the second wife of your Shen family. Are you sure you didn't say anything wrong?"
After the words fell, the young peers from the Shen family began to respond to Shen Han.
"What kind of status does the Second Madam have that would slander you?"
"You are so poor, what's the benefit of slandering you?"
In the hall, Shen Han pretended to be embarrassed.
"Returning to the magistrate, I, Shen Han, am an upright man, sit upright, and will never do anything to steal.
The reason why I was framed was because I accidentally encountered some dirty things that day..."
Speaking of this, Shen Han paused for a moment.
As expected, everyone around him was attracted by his words.
Although the dirty things are very dirty, the onlookers like to hear those dirty things the most~
"What happened?"
"Around the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, there was some draft in my house, so I thought of going to my house to pick up some unwanted boards and repair them.
When I went to the back garden, I saw a family...and..."
Shen Han spoke hesitantly, but the more he said it, the more fascinating it became.
Even Magistrate Xu was aroused curiosity.
"With what? I am here, so just answer truthfully."
"I hugged the second lady, and their hands were still...
What I'm going to say to the magistrate is related to the face of our Shen family, so I really can't say more..."
Shen Han's blank sentence directly gave everyone more imagination.
"Nonsense!
This lady is so clean and self-sufficient, how could she possibly do such dirty things!
I want to slap your mouth and tell you to talk nonsense! "
Mrs. Xie, the second wife, who was originally a witness, never thought that she would also experience this.
Magistrate Xu waved, and several detectives quickly went to stop Mrs. Xie.
Facing the noisy crowd, Jingtangmu slapped him directly.
Snapped!
"quiet!"
"Chen Han, please continue talking."
There was a trace of amusement on Magistrate Xu's face, and he had a different view of the young man in front of him.
Shen Han, who grew up in adversity, could not be knocked down so easily.
"After I came across this incident, I felt a little angry and asked the second lady and the servant to confess their mistakes to the old lady, otherwise I would expose them...
But instead they warned me that if I dared to speak out, they would crush me to ashes.
By falsely accusing me of stealing today, they are warning me to let me know their methods..."
The more Shen Han spoke, the more indignant and even a little passionate he became.
"But they thought wrong. For me, Shen Han, to suffer the humiliation of this ink torture is to trample on my dignity.
I would rather be broken than broken, I will never compromise! "
After these words were spoken, the onlookers outside the government office even clapped and applauded unconsciously.
The Shen family members were confused.
Mrs. Yun looked at Shen Han. She couldn't tell whether Shen Han's words were true or false. Anyway, it felt very true...
Just when everyone was confused, Shen Lei suddenly punched Shen Han in the crowd.
"For slandering my mother, you are seeking death!"
The strength of the fist burst out, whether it was just to vent his anger or for other reasons.
This punch was his full blow.
According to his prediction, Shen Han will definitely die!
Even if he was investigated afterwards, he could still say that he was excited when he heard Shen Han insulted his mother because of his filial piety.
