The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

A cold light flashed in Han Yue'er's eyes, but she did not continue to argue.

She had lost her patience to talk to this heartless man and only hoped that the truth would teach him a lesson.

As everyone was discussing, Sheng Junwei slowly raised her hand and shook her sleeves. "You are quite smart. You know that the truth will be revealed sooner or later, so you try to gain a chance of survival through public opinion. But... who told you that I have no evidence?"

Hei Bin's face changed suddenly. Even though he tried his best to hide it, the panic that surged from the bottom of his heart was still keenly captured by the people around him.

Sheng Junwei did not give him any chance to explain, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, there are witnesses. Do you think that you can escape everyone's memory by changing your appearance? Most of the victims of the flood were innocent people who did not have time to escape, and those who knew you well had already left this land before the flood..."

"It just so happens that one of your former classmates has been accepted as a closed disciple by a prominent figure in the capital due to his outstanding academic achievements. He now lives in the prosperous and bustling capital."

Sheng Junwei turned her eyes slightly and cast her gaze at Li Le beside her. "Now, please hold my token again and go to the depths of the Hanlin Academy to find the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Ma Decai. Tell him that the Ministry of Justice needs his assistance as a witness to an important matter."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then leaned close to Li Le's ear and whispered a few words, as if reminding him of some crucial details.

Li Le took the order and galloped back in less than a quarter of an hour, followed closely by a middle-aged man riding a horse.

When Hei Bin first saw the middle-aged man, his face was instantly filled with astonishment.

However, this shock did not last long. He quickly suppressed all his emotional fluctuations and put on a mask of confusion, trying to find a little respite in this sudden change.

The middle-aged man who arrived was none other than Ma Decai, the famous editor in the Hanlin Academy.

As far as he could remember, he had the honor of meeting Sheng Junwei at a palace banquet.

At this moment, he strode towards Sheng Junwei without hesitation, and saluted respectfully and rigorously: "I am Ma Decai, a humble official, and I would like to pay my respects to Doctor Sheng. I wonder what important matter you have summoned me to do today that requires my humble assistance?"

Sheng Junwei pointed lightly and directed the topic to Hei Bin who was standing beside her: "This Hei Bin should be from the same hometown as you. Do you have any impression of him?"

Ma Decai looked carefully at Hei Bin in front of him, with a hint of confusion in his eyes at first.

However, when his eyes met Heibin's unique three-white eyes, he seemed to be struck by an electric current, and suddenly he realized something.

"Sir, although I have not seen Hei Bin for more than ten years, my memory is inevitably vague. But I remember that Hei Bin was treated coldly since he was a child because of those three white eyes. The elders in the village often said that people with such strange eyes might harm the villagers when they grow up, so they didn't let us get close to him. Those three white eyes are like a brand, which makes me sure that this person is Hei Bin."

From the moment Ma Decai showed up, Hei Bin's expression became more and more flustered. He still tried to make a final excuse: "I don't even know you! There are so many people with three white eyes in this world. How can you determine that I am the murderer just by looking at me!"

As soon as his voice fell, an extremely angry shout suddenly rang out.

"Liu Wenwu, if you don't pay back the money you borrowed, even if you give birth to a son you won't have an asshole!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure pounced towards Hei Bin like an arrow.

Han Yue'er, who was standing aside, frowned. Instinctively, she wanted to kick the sudden figure away. But at the moment when she was about to act, she found that she was firmly bound by an invisible force. Her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she could not move at all!

Just as Han Yue'er was struggling with this mysterious force, another figure suddenly jumped out and rushed directly towards Hei Bin. With both hands, he rained down slaps on Hei Bin's face, cursing non-stop: "You bastard, do you still remember that you borrowed 100 taels of silver from me and said that you would pay me back double if you became the top scorer in the imperial examination? What happened? After so many years, you haven't even become a scholar, let alone the top scorer!"

"At that time, I was really bewitched and deceived by your eloquent words. I really thought you could pass the exam on the first try."

"Damn it! Return the money!"

"You won't return it? If you don't return it, I will never let you go!"

This series of events happened so quickly that the onlookers around did not wake up until they saw Hei Bin's face was red and swollen. They rushed forward to separate the two people who were wrestling with each other.

Hei Bin pointed at the man with a shaking finger, his whole body trembling with anger: "Where did you come from, you lunatic? I don't even know you!"

The man laughed coldly: "You owe me money, so you naturally want to pretend that you don't know me. But I have evidence in my hand, you can't deny it!"

As he spoke, he slowly pulled out a yellowed IOU from his lapel and stroked it lightly with his fingers, as if he was touching a dusty past.

"Look carefully, this piece of paper, every word on it is the promise you made with your own hands back then, and the village chief's name can be vaguely seen as a witness. Although the years have passed, the village chief and those familiar faces have turned into ghosts under the loess, but this IOU is like the ironclad evidence of history and cannot be questioned. If you still have the guts to try to escape, I will take this thing and go straight to the government to seek justice and expose your true face!"

Hei Bin's expression suddenly became uncertain, like the sky before a storm, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

He seemed to be struck by lightning, his thoughts were suddenly pulled back from the abyss of shock, and he gradually pieced together the fragments of his memory.

He recalled the scene when he first met Liu Wenwu. At that time, rumors had mentioned that Liujia Village had suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, countless lives were lost, and there was grief everywhere.

The distance between the capital and this remote village is so long, with mountains and rivers separating them for thousands of miles.

It doesn't seem ridiculous to say that in this disaster, there was a strong man who managed to escape and overcome numerous dangers to come here.

His mind raced, the wariness in his eyes quietly melted away, and a barely perceptible bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He forced his eyes to focus on the mottled marks on the edge of the IOU, using this weak movement to relieve the involuntary twitching of his cheek due to pain.

"Now that you mention it, I do remember that I borrowed the 100 taels of silver for emergency purposes. Please believe that once I am out of this predicament, I will repay you in full, not a cent less."

After he finished speaking, Tiezhu rushed to Li Le like a rabbit, his face full of flattery.

"Your Excellency is wise. We will follow your plan. He himself has confessed that it is definitely not Liu Wenwu."

After saying that, he glanced at Hei Bin with disdain, with a mocking gleam in his eyes.
