After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Shen Zhinian looked pale and sweaty.

How dare he confess so easily: "Master Pei, I don't know, I really don't know..."

Pei Xiren snorted coldly: "I don't know? Then can you explain why Su Zhen'er is in the Shen family?"

Shen Zhinian gritted his teeth and said, "Miao Miao was really picked up by me at the gate of the City God Temple..."

"Bullshit! You were the one who targeted that family personally. And Su Zhener looks like a fairy from heaven. How could you not recognize her?" Scarface spat at Shen Zhinian.

Butler Hu also said, "Master, I was suspicious as soon as the fifth young lady entered the mansion. It was you who said that the two of them only looked a little bit alike... If you didn't know what Su Zhen'er looked like, how could you say that the two of them looked like this?"

Shen Zhinian stared at Butler Hu angrily, but was speechless.

Pei Xiren slammed the gavel again: "Humph, it seems that I, the prefect, am too easy to fool! Come here, strip Shen Zhinian of his official uniform, drag him out and give him twenty heavy beatings!"

The two yamen runners agreed to come and drag Shen Zhinian away. Shen Zhinian kept shouting, "It's unfair, sir. Is the prefect trying to force a confession out of me?"

Shen Zhinian's cry for injustice immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the onlookers outside the hall.

"Mr. Shen, how dare you cry out for injustice? How could you be wronged? Both people in the court have said it clearly. How dare you cry out for injustice?"

"Sir, this kind of person deserves to be beaten. It is not unfair to beat him to death. He is just a stubborn person!"

"He wants to get away with a life. I think a beating is too easy for him. He should be made to experience all the punishments of the Beixin Dynasty!"

"They dare to cry out for injustice, is there any justice in the world..."

Amid the angry discussions of the crowd, Shen Zhinian was dragged away by the yamen runners and beaten with twenty boards, leaving his skin torn and flesh exposed.

Shen Zhinian still refused to give in.

If he were exiled, he would still have a chance to turn things around and live a good life.

But if I let go of the corpse, my life would be at risk...

Even though his mouth was bleeding, he was still struggling and insisted that he didn't know what happened to the corpse.

As for why Su Zhen'er was in the Shen family, he insisted that he was just an adopted beggar and didn't know she was Su Zhen'er...

Shen family.

Shen Zhinian was taken away inexplicably. Mrs. Du and the old lady stared at each other in the mansion, not understanding what had happened.

But it only took a moment for the old lady to come to a conclusion. She pointed at Mrs. Du and said:

"It must be because of you. Did you say something you shouldn't have said in front of the prefect? ​​That's why they took Zhinian away?"

Mrs. Du was so angry that she laughed: "I'm not that stupid. Even if I don't care about the life and death of you and your daughter, I still have to take care of my Daer and Yueer, right? If the master gets into trouble, what good will I have, and what good will my Daer and Yueer have?"

The old lady didn't believe it: "If you didn't say anything in front of the master, then how were you released?"

Mrs. Du straightened her chest and raised her head: "It's just a matter of spending hundreds of taels of silver. Is there no way for me to get out?"

The old lady was skeptical: "Did you really use the money to get out? Where did you get the money in prison?"

Mrs. Du lost her patience and said, "Where did I get the money? Can I tell you? Believe it or not, but I swear to God, I have never said anything bad about you in Jingzhao Prefecture."

He paused and glanced at the old lady: "I haven't even mentioned you, old lady! If I really want to mention something, shouldn't I mention you first?"

The old lady pursed her lips and was speechless.

What Du said is not without reason.

On the surface, he and Mrs. Du, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, get along peacefully, but in reality, there are undercurrents.

She can still sit peacefully in her mansion at this moment.

I'm afraid Mrs. Du really didn't say anything that she shouldn't have said.

Otherwise, the first person to suffer would be himself, not his son...

"So, Zhinian was taken away for something else?" The old lady was full of suspicion.

Mrs. Du was annoyed: "Of course it's for something else. Even if I did say something, they wouldn't just chain me up!"

The old lady nodded belatedly.

That's true.

Even if Mrs. Du told everything she knew, the government would have someone verify it first, right?

They came directly to lock people up, which shows that this is not a trivial matter.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid the evidence is still conclusive...

The old lady was even more panicked: "So, what should we do now? If something happens to Zhinian, we can't just sit and wait in the mansion. We have to find a way to save him!"

When it comes to saving lives, Du also agrees.

If something happened to Shen Zhinian, the entire Shen family would collapse.

We really should find a way to save him!

"Let's send someone to get some information first, and then we'll discuss it." Du said after thinking for a while.

The old lady nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, let's quickly send someone to find out what Zhinian has done wrong!"

When the person was taken away, someone should have been sent to investigate immediately.

I was so panicked that I only remembered it now.

But who should be sent?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were worried again.

The most capable servants in the mansion, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Cai who were beside the old lady, and Mrs. Zhang and Yang Laoliu who were beside Mrs. Du, all betrayed the Shen family.

The most responsible butler, Hu, has been away from home for several days.

Even Liuzi, the usually reliable servant, was nowhere to be seen.

There is not even a suitable person at hand.

The old lady looked around and her eyes fell on Yu'er beside her.

"Yu'er, go to the front yard and call a coachman to go with you to Jingzhao Prefecture and find out why the master was locked up."

At present, among the maids serving her closely, Yu'er is the smartest one.

Yu'er shuddered and lowered her head: "Madam, I dare not..."

At that time, she was terrified as she watched her master being locked up and taken away.

She had no problem serving the old lady in the mansion, but she would never dare to go to the government to get information...

The old lady was so angry that she kept groaning: "Hmph, you are useless, what's the point of keeping you?"

Mrs. Du also turned her head away angrily.

What kind of vision does this old lady have? What kind of person did she choose!

But she had just been released from prison, and there was no one around her at the moment...

"Forget it. I think the servant Wang Si who is guarding the door looks smart. Let's ask him to go." Mrs. Du said.

Although Wang Si is smart, he is not that smart.

When she returned home, Wang Si failed to recognize her.

But later, someone from Jingzhao Prefecture came, and Wang Si came to the backyard to report the news. He ran very fast and spoke clearly.

If you were to pick a general among the lame men, only Wang Si would be the one.

Mrs. Du told Yu'er to go to the gate and call Wang Si over.

As expected, Wang Si came quickly again, but when he heard that he was asked to go to the government to inquire about the news, Wang Si immediately looked bitter.

"Madam, you probably don't know yet, but there are so many people gathered at the gate of our house, we can't get out!"
