All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 14 So Weak
Shen Lingxi seemed to be frightened by this battle, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and her clear eyes filled with tears instantly, "What is the meaning of this, Mr. Fu Zun? The girl just couldn't understand the autopsy results made by you, so I would like to ask for your advice." Forget it, why did it become a rumor to confuse the public and obstruct the handling of the case when it came to the adults?"

Mother An is the only person in this mansion who has seen Shen Lingxi's true face.

Seeing her pretending to be this little white flower again, Mother An only felt chilly all over, and the soles of her feet felt cold.

She realized it later, maybe this girl has been planning all this since she was in the Jingsiyuan this morning.

Thinking of this possibility, mother an felt even more terrifying.

Subconsciously, she took a few steps back and hid herself in the crowd, for fear of being watched by Shen Lingxi.

When Manager Zhou heard the words "Shen Lingxi", he hurriedly sent someone to invite Shen Ji to the front yard. Seeing that the Yacha had moved his knife, he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over with a smile. She's just a little girl, why bother to use a knife..."

Zhao Zhifu wanted to cover up this matter wholeheartedly, so he couldn't care less about distinguishing the expressions of the people in the house.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created the problem.

He still didn't forget to show off in front of everyone in the Hou's mansion, "Guan Zhou didn't know anything about it. The marriage of the fourth girl in your mansion the day before yesterday was caused by this damn girl pretending to be a ghost. She dared to come here just a day later." If you don’t punish the government for provocations, how can I convince the public? Don’t worry, this time I will make this demon girl plead guilty, drag her out and hang her in the streets, as an example to everyone else, and then your government will be able to wash away the stigma.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shen Lingxi differently.

It turned out that the person who rescued the fourth girl from the tiger and wolf den in the Li family was actually the fifth girl!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... The girl was wronged, she really just asked for advice." Shen Lingxi's eyelashes were wet with tears, and the tears fell on the sharp blade, making her appear weak and deceitful.

She sobbed and begged, "Please, Lord Furen, for the sake of the daughter's father, please spare the daughter this time..."

"Shen Lingxi, do you know you're afraid now?" Zhifu Zhao sneered, "It's too late! You're just an orphan, don't say your father died long ago. Punish him for the crime of lax family management and incompetent discipline, and let him parade in the streets with you to show the public!"

"Lord Zhao is so majestic!" At this moment, an extremely displeased voice came to everyone's ears, "This Marquis really wants to see how you will get rid of this crime!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Xuan Pinghou Chen Ji, with a dark face, coming out from behind the crowd.

Zhao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and smiled obsequiously, "Your Majesty misunderstood, what I'm talking about is this witch who caused trouble..."

"Demon girl?" Shen Ji's face became even darker, and he walked straight to Shen Lingxi, looking at Zhao Cheng, his eyes were about to burst into flames, "I don't know when my own daughter, who is living outside, will become Zhao Cheng." You are a witch in the mouth of the lord! Now that I am here, is the lord going to arrest me and go to the government office, or to parade in the streets? If not, we will go to the palace to face the saint together and let the emperor judge, what do you think?"

"Dear, biological... daughter?" Zhao Cheng's legs were trembling.

Before he had time to react, he heard Shen Ji yell angrily, "Are you looking for death? Put down the knife yet!"

Shen Jinai was born as a military general, and was in charge of the commander of the Habayashi Army. Under the thunderous rage, he had a fierce aura, which made the servants hurriedly remove the saber from Shen Lingxi's neck, knelt down and dared not get up.

Zhao Cheng's legs went limp, and if it wasn't for the helper at the side to help him, he almost fell to the ground.

But Wu Zuo had just had an autopsy, his hands hadn't been washed, and there was still a faint smell of corpses. Zhao Cheng reacted, pushed him away, supported the tree trunk next to him, and retched loudly.

"Daddy save me..." Shen Lingxi grabbed Shen Ji's sleeve in a panic.

But Shen Ji frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, his expression was not as protective as his words.

Shen Lingxi didn't seem to notice it at all, her wet almond eyes were full of envy and dependence when she looked at Shen Ji.

It made Shen Ji feel that he seemed to be a hero who descended from the sky to rescue her from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Daughter really didn't do it on purpose." Shen Lingxi was about to cry, with a few traces of crying, "It was just an inadvertent guess, and I found out that my grandmother's illness was caused by resentment in the house. That's why I went out with my four nephews to find , Sure enough, there is a corpse hidden in the well."

"The death of this man is strange. If you don't understand his grievances, you may harm your grandmother's health. Just now, when my daughter saw him doing a hasty autopsy, she had no choice but to ask her. Unexpectedly, the magistrate actually regarded her as a witch... If it is true, Isn't it true that the palaces and Taoist temples in the capital city that can be used as water and land ashrams are full of evil people... The daughter is just a weak woman, so it's fine if she is falsely accused of being a demon girl, I'm afraid I will hurt my father and be teased in the court. It's my daughter's big sin..."

At the end, Shen Lingxi looked as if she felt extremely guilty towards Shen Ji, her tears were like beads with a broken string, crying so much that it was raining like pear blossoms, I felt pity for it.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion present was all moved.

Xin Dao said that although these five girls were born in the countryside, they were delicate and frail, but they were able to stand up at the critical moment without fear of power. Not only did they rescue the four girls, but they also thought of their ancestors.

Even Shen Ji's expression softened at this moment.

Taking Shen Lingxi back to the mansion was made possible by the old ancestor. He has always been very reluctant, and he never went to Wangxian Village to have a look.

This was the first time Shen Ji saw Shen Lingxi.

After all, it was his own flesh and blood. Seeing her tearful eyes, Shen Ji thought of his original wife, An Shi, who had passed away for many years.

He heard Xin'an's mother's words yesterday, and thought that this girl was arrogant and rebellious.

I didn't expect it to be so weak...

"This kind of thing, you should come and report it to your father, and you shouldn't make up your own mind... Isn't it a joke to make such a situation happen."

Shen Ji couldn't be more harsh on her, so he turned his head to Zhao Cheng and said, "Prefect Zhao, what should I say, should I parade the father and daughter in the street, or take them back to the government office?"

"Misunderstandings... misunderstandings... are all misunderstandings."

Taking advantage of his vomiting, Zhao Cheng had already recovered his senses, and said with a smile, "The daughter of your family is not the kind of evil spirit who pretends to be a ghost...Since the girl thinks that the autopsy is sloppy, and she has some quarrels with the lower officials, if not, the case will be handed over." What do you think of the review by Dali Temple, Lord Hou?"

Knowing that Shen Ji didn't want the case to become a big deal, he even threatened to hand over the case to Dali Temple.

Duo Tuo is an army against the general, and he wants to use this to beat Shen Ji and make him stop.

Shen Ji is a reckless man, although he has a good face, he will not let others ride on his head just because of this face.

Besides, just now Shen Lingxi has said in public that if the grievance of this corpse is not resolved, it will hinder the body of the ancestor.

How could Shen Ji let this case be closed sloppily.

"Prefect Zhao has self-knowledge, since you can't investigate this case, then leave it to Dali Temple to handle it, but what you said to my daughter just now, I will definitely report the truth to the Holy Majesty, please the Holy Majesty to decide for my father and daughter! "

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Cheng's face changed drastically.

Shen Lingxi covered her tearful eyes with a veil and bent her head.

No one in the capital knew that Shen Ji, Marquis of Xuan Ping, had blocked an arrow for the emperor when he was young. Although he was rude and reckless, he was the most trusted person of the emperor.

As long as he speaks in front of the emperor, even Zhao Cheng's concubine and niece will not be able to keep the black yarn on his head.

It's finally time for someone else to take the seat of the magistrate of the capital's yamen...
