Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Shen Nankui was stunned for a moment.

"It turns out to be her..."

After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Although I have never met Miss Tao in person, from what I know of her, she is a patient and tolerant person, otherwise she would not have been bullied for so many years without resisting. It is impossible for her to kill someone. There must be a misunderstanding."

She looked at Cai Ling, "Mr. Cai, have you found out anything else?"

Cai Ling frowned slightly, "This case does have some weird aspects."

"Oh?"

"That Miss Tao, although she was accused of murder and thrown into death row, the government has not issued a sentence on her."

"No verdict?"

Shen Nankui's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "If there was no evidence, the government would not have put Miss Tao in jail. Murder is a serious crime, and according to the law, she should be sentenced to death. Now it's like this... Doesn't it mean that there are doubts in the case itself?"

So, the government did not immediately sentence Miss Tao?

Cai Ling nodded, "From this point of view, this is most likely the reason."

Shen Nankui asked again: "Then you must have found out clearly who Miss Tao killed, and who accused her of murder?"

Cai Ling said, "Tian Sheng's case, if it is not a false or serious case, is open to the public. This is not difficult to find out. According to people who know the situation, Miss Tao killed her uncle, and the person who reported the case to the government and arrested her was also the uncle's son."

"It's indeed a member of the Tao clan!"

Shen Nankui was not surprised to hear this answer.

As soon as Miss Tao was imprisoned, members of the Tao family came out to seize the workshop. If the matter had nothing to do with them, that would be weird.

However, she couldn’t understand how they accuse Miss Tao of murder.

Cai Ling poured her a cup of tea and said, "You are pregnant, don't get angry."

Then he gave Zhongshan a look.

Zhong Shan understood and told Shen Nankui the information they had gathered eloquently.

The uncle of the Tao family was in financial difficulty. Knowing that Miss Tao had made money by running a workshop in the town, he came to seek help, hoping that Miss Tao would help her family for the sake of their relationship. But Miss Tao was unwilling to do so and repeatedly drove the uncle out of the house. Once, seeing her disrespectful to her elders, he became angry and the two had a quarrel. Miss Tao was so angry that she accidentally beat the man to death.

After hearing this, Shen Nankui asked, "Are you sure that the news you heard was that someone was beaten to death by mistake, and not hacked to death, stabbed to death, or poisoned to death?"

Zhong Shan nodded, "It was an accidental killing. That's what the son of the deceased accused Miss Tao of. He can't be wrong."

Shen Nankui couldn't help but feel that it was a bit ridiculous, and sneered: "Miss Tao is a weak woman who doesn't know kung fu. How can she accidentally beat a grown man to death? Isn't this ridiculous?"

Zhong Shan was also a little confused, scratched his head and said: "But, when Miss Tao took action, many people in Yunxi Ancient Town witnessed it with their own eyes, so she can't deny it."

"Did everyone see that uncle die on the spot?"

"No, I heard that the uncle was carried back and died after lying in bed for two days."

He Hua also noticed something strange and frowned, "Since she didn't die at the time, how can the cause of death be attributed to Miss Tao?"

Zhong Shan said: "I also find it strange, but the man died. There was no other reason except that he was beaten by Miss Tao, so Miss Tao is naturally considered the culprit."

Shen Nankui was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "The truth of the matter may be that I should ask Miss Tao. I have to meet her."

The government office has not yet issued a verdict, which shows that there are indeed doubts in this case. Miss Tao is most likely innocent, and she has to find a way to rescue her.

Hearing this, Zhong Shan's expression darkened.

"Madam, the jailer who took my money could only help me confirm that the person on death row was undoubtedly Miss Tao. I also asked if I could visit her, but he said that prisoners on death row were not allowed to be visited, even if I gave him money..."

Cai Ling sighed inwardly. This was the reason why he did not tell her directly at the beginning. Although the case was full of doubts, it was still not an easy task to save Miss Tao.

Shen Nankui frowned and thought quickly in his mind.

"If the jailer can't do it, what about the prison warden? As long as you can be flexible, we will pay any amount."

Zhong Shan still shook his head, "I have inquired about it. If we were from Yongzhou, things might be easier to handle, but we are all from outside the province. If we rashly want to see a death row prisoner, there is no way to go."

Shen Nankui's heart sank and he was at a loss for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Cai Ling's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Above the prison warden, there are also the Tongzhi and the Zhizhou. Why don't we think of a solution from them?"

Hearing him say this, Shen Nankui's eyes lit up, "Mr. Cai, you..."

Cai Ling smiled faintly, "I've said before that Cai's name can play a role, but I don't know if it can help you this time."

But Shen Nankui was only happy for a moment, then he shook his head with a determined look.

"Mr. Cai, I can't let you break your own rule of not going near government offices because of me."

Hearing this, Cai Ling's expression softened a bit.

"Master Shen, the rules set by Cai will not be changed because of anyone, just like last time, I would rather die than accept the invitation from the Princess's Mansion. But this rule does not mean that I will never deal with anyone from an official family. For example, you are also a descendant of an official, but Cai regards you as an old friend. Because we are just friends, you have never used Cai's hand to seek any benefits or reputation."

"The current situation is the same. I will not try to please people in the government for anything, but this does not mean that my paintings cannot be circulated here, nor does it mean that the name Cai Ling cannot be used by you."

He never gave his paintings to officials, but many powerful people still collected his works.

Because after he gave something away, he would not interfere with how others dealt with the painting, so his paintings were circulated everywhere.

Shen Nankui immediately understood what he meant, "Mr. Cai, are you saying that you won't show up?"

Cai Ling nodded with a smile, "That's right, since we are old friends, it's normal for me to give you paintings as a gift. As for what you want to do with them, that's not my business."

A hint of joy appeared in Shen Nankui's eyes.

"If that's the case, it would be great!"

Cai Ling is famous in the Tiansheng Dynasty. If he can really use his paintings to get in touch with the officials in Yongzhou City, it will definitely be more beneficial than bribing a jailer, and it will also be of great help to Miss Tao's case!
