Chapter 19: Who wouldn't slander?
Chapter 19 Who can't slander?
In Mrs. Yun's opinion, the old matriarch doesn't like Shen Han.
But no matter what, Shen Han's surname is Shen after all.
With the word Shen in her name, living in the Shen Mansion, after all, it is related to the Shen Family Hou Mansion.
The old matriarch doesn't care about Shen Han, but also cares about the face of the Shen family.
In the high hall, the prefect Xu is firmly in the high position, and he is not in a hurry to hear the case.
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 on 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?"
Others did not speak, but Xu Zhifu asked first.
"Returning to the magistrate, the old lady of the Shen family said that people who make mistakes must be punished.
The Shen family has lost face today, but the children of the Shen family will earn back the lost face on the battlefield.”
After the boy said this, everyone understood.
The fifth young master of the Shen family has been completely abandoned by the Shen family.
Looking at the young man in the hall, Xu Zhifu even felt a little sympathetic.
In the Shen family's generation, there is such a proud eldest son as Shen Ye, who is even more talented than his grandfather when he was young.
With the existence of such a brother, the other Shen family's children are naturally lacklustre.
What's more, the object of Shen Han's gift of marriage is the person he likes like his arrogant brother that day.
In order to rescind the engagement, the Shen family sacrificed him unavoidably
Prefect Xu shook his head helplessly, in a situation like Shen Han's, it would be better to be born in a poor family.
Being tortured by black ink, his future status will be like that of a pariah. I don’t know if this young man still has the will to live.
Among the government offices, only Mrs. Yun is still pleading for Shen Han.
pleaded with Mrs. He and Mrs. Xie, begging them to forgive Shen Han.
"Sister Yun, Shen Han has spoiled our Shen family's family style, and the theft has shamed our whole family.
If no punishment is imposed, if others follow suit, how can our Shen family live up to the name of this general! "
The two ladies still spoke the truth, anyway, it was for the sake of the family tradition and the cultivation of the descendants of the Shen family, so they had no choice but to do so.
The descendants of the Shen family who followed had a look of indifference.
Perhaps in their view, it was Shen Han who really committed theft and was brought to this mansion.
Outside the government office, the onlookers were talking in low voices.
Most people are speaking for Shen Han, thinking that the two ladies are too harsh.
Someone also mentioned that Shen Han picked up medicine dregs in the pharmacy a few days ago, which is enough to see how bad the Fifth Young Master of the Shen family is in the Shen family.
Taking those money must be forced by life.
It's just what the common people think, and what's the use.
"Fifth young master of the Shen family, there are witnesses and evidence, what do you have to defend?"
Xu Zhifu looked at Shen Han, the young man was probably in a mess when he encountered such a disaster.
If the defense is weak, even if he, the magistrate, wants to help, it will be useless.
All eyes fell on Shen Han.
After a long silence, it was finally his turn to speak.
Someone slanders you for stealing jelly, the most stupid way is to cut open your stomach for outsiders to see.
In the face of slander, if there is no iron-like evidence, defending yourself is a very poor way to deal with it.
Shen Han has already thought up his words in his heart, since you have framed me, then I'm sorry, I will also frame you.
"Master Zhifu, the younger generation Shen Han lives alone in the vegetable garden on the east side of the Shen residence. Although he lives a poor life, he will never do something as simple as stealing.
The whole thing was actually because someone wanted to teach me, a descendant of the Shen family, a lesson, to shut me up, and to make me dare not speak any more. "
When Shen Han said this, everyone was stunned.
This matter seems to be getting more and more interesting.
"Shen Han, what do you mean by your words, is someone framed you?"
"Returning to the prefect, it is true."
Prefect Xu frowned slightly, and looked at Mrs. Xie, the second wife of the Shen family.
"The one 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 younger peers on the Shen family's side spoke back to Shen Han.
"What is the status of the second lady, who will come to slander you?"
"That's right, so poor, what's the benefit of slandering you?"
In the hall, Shen Han pretended to be a little embarrassed.
"Returning to the magistrate, I, Shen Han, behave uprightly and sit upright, and I will never do anything like stealing.
The reason why I was framed was because I accidentally ran into some nasty things that day.”
Having said this, Shen Han paused for a moment.
As expected, everyone around me was attracted by my words.
Dirty things are very dirty, but the onlookers like to hear those dirty things the most~
"What's the matter?"
"About the seventh day of the lunar new year, there was some air leakage in my house, so I thought about going to the mansion to pick up some unwanted wooden boards and repair some.
Walking to the back garden, I saw a family of Ding and..."
Shen Han speaks hesitantly, but the more he speaks like this, the more fascinating he is.
Even prefect Xu was aroused curiosity.
"And what? The prefect is here, so you can answer truthfully."
"I hugged the second lady together, and the hands of the two are still there.
Returning to the magistrate, it is related to the face of our Shen family, so I really can’t say more.”
Shen Han left this sentence blank, which directly gave everyone more imagination.
"Nonsense!
Mrs. Ben keeps herself clean, how could she do such nasty things!
Madam Ben will slap your mouth and tell you to talk nonsense! "
Madam Xie, the second wife who was originally a witness, never thought that this would happen to her.
Prefect Xu beckoned, and several police officers rushed to stop Mrs. Xie.
Facing the noisy crowd, he slapped the gavel directly.
Snapped!
"Silence!"
"Shen Han, just keep talking."
Prefect Xu had a hint of amusement on his face, and had a different view of the young man in front of him.
Shen Han, who grew up in adversity, is not so easily knocked down.
"After I ran into this incident, I felt a little angry and asked the second wife and the servant to confess their mistakes in front of the old lady, otherwise I would expose them
But instead they warned that if I dared to speak out, they would crush me to ashes.
To frame me for stealing today is to warn me and let me know their methods..."
The more Shen Han said, the more he was filled with righteous indignation, even a little passionate.
"But they were wrong, asking me to suffer the humiliation of the ink punishment is to trample on my dignity.
I would rather break the jade than make it whole, I will never compromise! "
After the words fell, the onlookers outside the government office even unconsciously clapped their hands.
The Shen family was in a daze.
Ms. Yun looked at Shen Han, she couldn't figure out whether Shen Han's words were true or not, but it felt very true anyway.
When everyone was in a daze, Shen Lei punched Shen Han in the crowd.
"Slander my mother, you court death!"
The punch burst out, I don't know if it was just to vent his anger, or there were other reasons.
This punch was his full blow.
According to the prediction in his heart, Shen Han will undoubtedly die!
Even if he pursued it afterwards, he could still say that he was excited for a while when he heard Shen Han insulting his mother because of his filial piety.
