Chapter 110 Identity Revealed
Chapter 110 Identity Revealed
Shen Wen's injury naturally alarmed Ji Ziyin and Chu Yanqiu. A group of hosts sat in the corridor of the small study to discuss the cause and what happened. Shen Yifeng carefully understood the whole story and was ashamed of his brother's despicable behavior. He bowed to Ji Ziyin and said, "Brother Ziyin, I am ashamed. I have been living in the border for a long time, but I didn't expect my tenth brother to develop such a bad habit. I am really ashamed! But this matter is not entirely my brother's fault. First, my brother was drunk at the time and didn't know the identity of your wife at all. Second, Madam Liu really shouldn't be there. That place can be regarded as an outer courtyard. You also know that my brother was invited to pay respects to the princess and the concubine, and passed by here. In addition, your servants were too cruel. After this serious injury, my brother became disabled and can't get married!"
When the Marquis heard this, he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Bring that servant here!"
Chu Yanqiu smiled calmly and said, "Two murders happened in Yixiang Tower a few days ago. Have you heard about it, Lord Shen? One of the murderers was a servant of the Shi family. Lord Shen, did you know that this person has confessed a lot of good things before he was formally interrogated? One by one, he can expose the sky. He also confessed to murdering the magistrate of Yicheng. Speaking of which, the magistrate deserves to die. It is said that a gold mine was discovered in Yicheng by the magistrate. The magistrate actually conspired with others to dig it without telling the court. The identities of those who conspired with him are all amazing! Lord Shen, do you think there is a bold and greedy young man in your family?"
Shen Yifeng was suspicious but calm on his face, "You can't just make this statement based on suspicion. Sir Chu needs to come up with solid evidence before you can bring this up."
As he was speaking, Chi He came back and said to Chu Yanqiu, "Sir, the Third Young Master is here."
Then Ji Zichu came over with a booklet in his hand.
He walked directly to Lord Shen and showed him the booklet. He said, "Lord Shen, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The emperor has specially ordered me to participate in the review of this case. This booklet records all the people involved in the case. Please look at this page..."
Ji Zichu deliberately turned the booklet to the place where Shen Yifeng wanted to see it, and there clearly lay the name of someone from his Shen family.
Shen Yifeng closed the booklet suddenly, took a few breaths, and then said calmly: "So! Then how does Lord Chu want to deal with the servant who injured my tenth brother?"
Chu Yanqiu smiled and said, "To be honest, the person who beat me up was not a servant, but a girl from my room."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.
Chu Yanqiu continued, "So I want to ask, how many times has your brother bullied women like this? Otherwise, I will investigate for Lord Shen, maybe there will be unexpected surprises waiting for you! Lord Shen, why don't you think about why the maid in my room didn't kick him anywhere else, but chose to kick him there? It shows that your brother's behavior at that time was so dirty that it forced my maid to hurt someone in a hurry."
Shen Yifeng was very angry when he heard this, but he also knew the character of his tenth brother. At home, he robbed all the women who served him. He also heard about his behavior of bullying men and women outside. Thinking of this, he really couldn't let Chu Yanqiu keep an eye on him. If he really found out, his brother would be doomed.
Chu Yanqiu asked someone to call Shen Wen over.
After Shen Wen arrived, she threw herself on Chu Yanqiu, sat on the man's thighs, and hugged his neck and said coquettishly: "Husband! Didn't I make it clear? It was the Tenth Master Shen who committed a heinous crime. I am getting rid of him for the people. Besides, kicking away his tools is also for his own good. Now he will never commit crimes again."
Chu Yanqiu touched her face with a smile and said, "Then how do you think we can solve this problem?"
Shen Wen put one hand around his neck and the other hand touched his chin and said, "He should be treated and compensated!"
Master Ji looked at Shen Wen's seductive behavior and pointed at her with his face flushed with anger.
Chu Yanqiu's fingers touched Shen Wen's face, then he pinched her chin and said through gritted teeth: "I told you not to run around and not to cause trouble, but you just didn't listen! Hmm? Do you know which powerful person you messed with? Even if I can protect you now, you won't live for more than two days, you know?"
Master Ji couldn't bear it any longer and scolded, "Chu Yanqiu! You are also a third-rank official. Can't you tell the difference between the pros and cons? Do you still want to protect her now? I think you are too lustful." He pointed at Shen Wen and said, "Come here! Tie her up and hand her over to Master Shen for punishment."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen hugged Chu Yanqiu's neck and refused to let go, saying to Chu Yanqiu, "I don't want to go! You said you would protect me, you can't give up on me."
Shen Yifeng said, "My brother's injury is too serious. I have given in on this matter. If you don't hand over this servant, it would be too unreasonable! Aren't you afraid that your Qingming Festival as a third-rank minister of the Dali Temple will be ruined?"
Chu Yanqiu put Shen Wen to sit beside him and said, "I am the person who enforces the law in Zhen's criminal case. All those who enforce the law must be upright. A wise man does not do things that are not his business, and an honest man does not do things that are not his own. Lord Shen, if you really feel wronged, you can go to the Dali Temple to sue me. How about Chu accompany you to the end?"
Shen Yifeng admired this man very much. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'd like to hear how Lord Chu plans to resolve this matter?"
Chu Yanqiu leaned over and touched Shen Wen's hair, saying, "I will pay for the medical expenses. I will pay whatever compensation your family wants. As for the punishment, if your family members make mistakes, they will be punished in your home. As for my family members..."
Having said that, he lifted up Shen Wen's chin and squeezed it hard. He continued, "As for my family, if you break any of the family rules, we will naturally deal with it according to the family rules." After saying that, he shook his hand heavily, causing Shen Wen to stagger and throw her to the ground.
Master Ji understood what he heard and immediately ordered the housekeeper to have someone hold Shen Wen's arms. He said viciously, "Go and ask the family law to beat him right here! Beat him with a stick! If a servant injures someone and causes disability, he will be beaten with fifty sticks and then sent to the farm to be imprisoned for life."
Soon after he finished speaking, several servants came over with ropes, benches and thick long boards. Under the guidance of the butler, they rushed forward, lifted Shen Wen onto the bench, and tied him up tightly.
Shen Wen was still looking at everyone with a playful smile. She said to Chu Yanqiu, "Hey! Are you serious? I tell you, I can be beaten to death easily! I can't bleed. Even if I don't die, I will cause you to bleed heavily. You can't just ignore me!"
Chu Yanqiu had a cold face and didn't even look at her.
Shen Wen realized that he was not just going through the motions. She said seriously, "Chu Yanqiu, you bastard! Do you really want to beat me? If you ask your uncle's people to beat me, will I still be alive? Don't you know that there are ways to beat someone with a stick? Do you really want me to die?"
Chu Yanqiu still ignored her and drank his tea.
Master Ji pointed at the servant holding the stick and said sternly, "Beat him! Beat him hard. Make sure you beat him fifty times, not one less."
Just as the servant lifted the board high, a servant from a distance came running to Master Ji and said, "My Lord, Princess Rui and Concubine Shen want to see you. They said they have something important to tell you. They are already here. Tell your Lord to retreat and not to bother with anyone else. The princess said... tell me!"
The servant quietly leaned over to the Marquis's ear and whispered, "Please ask the eldest son to hand over the seventeenth son of her family, Shen Wen, who is hiding her, today!"
When Master Ji heard this, he looked at the servant's face in disbelief, then suddenly looked at Shen Wen, pointed at her with a trembling finger and said "You? You...you" several times. He couldn't breathe and almost fainted.
Ji Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, but his father came to his senses, looked carefully and saw that it was him, and slapped Ji Ziyan in the face, making Ji Ziyan inexplicably angry, but he couldn't do anything to his father.
At this time, the butler saw from afar that the princess and the concubine were already visible, and he quickly reminded Master Ji.
Master Ji had no choice but to ask his servants to untie Shen Wen.
After being released, Shen Wen touched her arms and legs, which were red from being strangled, with a distressed look on her face. She stood in front of Chu Yanqiu and said unhappily, "You bastard! You are so cold-blooded and heartless! Even if it means injuring a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own, are you willing to do that?"
The Tenth Young Master Shen Haofeng, who was originally receiving treatment in the house, was unexpectedly carried out and walked straight to the corridor. His face was pale and he looked the same as before, and he howled to his third brother.
Shen Yifeng hurried over to comfort her.
Shen Haofeng cried for a few times, wiped his tears and said to his third brother: "Third brother! I am so miserable! The Ji family wants to make me have no descendants! Third brother, you can't forgive the bastard who kicked off my descendants, I want him to pay with his life."
Master Ji was tough this time. He snorted and said, "It's better to pay with your life! His name is Shen Wen, you can take him away and kill him as you like."
When Shen Haofeng heard the name Shen Wen, he blinked in disbelief.
But a handsome and lively young man walked up to him with a smile, pointed at his nose and said to him: "Yes! It's me! I kicked off your penis! Look carefully!"
Shen Haofeng compared the appearance of the person in front of him with the person he saw in Yixiang Tower in his memory. He was so frightened that he suddenly seemed to have lost his mind. He jumped up and babbled nonsense: "It's not my fault... It's not my fault... You were so depressed that you wanted to jump off the building. Don't come to me... Don't bother me..."
He shivered and huddled behind Shen Yifeng's chair, humming with his head down!
