Shen Chu's summary left Liu Taiming momentarily unresponsive, but he quickly nodded, "Yes, that's what I meant. That man is a bit stupid, but it seems he's just not very smart, but he's very skilled. I have no idea when he approached me."
"The tone he used when threatening me and the longsword in his hand indicate that this isn't his first time doing something like this. Perhaps his mind isn't very sharp, which is why he's so full of loopholes. It's also possible that his master felt that if he sent someone with more profound ideas, I might not understand."
This sentence is self-deprecating. Liu Taiming was able to hold the position of censor, and he was still a commoner, so he must have read a lot of books. To be able to hold this position, it means that he must have achieved excellent results in the imperial examinations before, otherwise it would be impossible for him to sit in this position.
Those who say they don't understand are all fake, he just wants to show his sincerity.
After understanding the whole process of the incident, Shen Chu gave Liu Taiming a look, indicating that he should go inside and sit down to talk.
Liu Taiming had the same idea. After seeing Shen Chu's eyes, he immediately nodded, walked over here, and sat in his original seat.
Shen Chu sat in Shen Zhong's previous seat. There were still two people, and the topic was still the same, but the person asking the questions had changed to someone else.
Shen Chu sat down in his seat, his expression somewhat serious, and asked earnestly, "Besides asking you to report my father, did that person say anything else?"
In Liu Taiming's words, he omitted the part where the man said Shen Chu was the real murderer of his daughter.
But Shen Chu seemed to have known that he was hiding something. There was inquiry in his eyes as he stared at him, as if he had seen through him.
The person opposite him was clearly just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, but Liu Taiming felt an indescribable guilt as she stared at him.
He touched the tip of his nose, his vision becoming a little vague. "This? I don't think there's any need to say it."
As he said this, he didn't dare look at Shen Chu.
Hearing him say this, Shen Chu smiled, "Liu Yushi, just say it directly, I don't mind."
Since Shen Chu emphasized it so much, Liu Taiming naturally had no intention of hiding it any further.
He closed his eyes and made up his mind, then spoke out everything he had concealed without missing a word.
It was that person who told him that Shen Chu was the real murderer of his two daughters.
After repeating all these words, he explained as if to show his loyalty,
"I don't think so. This is just his one-sided statement. The fact that I'm here to have a friendly conversation with you proves that I absolutely don't think so. After all, he hasn't produced any evidence. Saying this is like throwing mud. I have clear judgment and naturally won't be misled by such words."
"The reason I came to the Shangshu Mansion is to know from you what exactly I should do now."
Liu Taiming spoke very quickly, fearing that he would be interrupted accidentally, arrested, and never be able to return home.
Perhaps Shen Chu saw through his thoughts, and the smile in her eyes became more obvious. She nodded, indicating that she understood what he meant.
"Of course I know that Censor Liu didn't mean that, and I can also clearly tell Censor Liu that your daughter's matter has nothing to do with me. This is a fact I can be sure of."
"But I can tell you one more thing. I saw your daughter's body with my own eyes. When she was dug out of the grave, she had been dead for less than a day. I can also tell you clearly that I went to Lingyin Mountain to dig the grave the day after I left the capital. In other words, your daughter died on the day I returned."
"Yes, the timeline can definitely be connected, but is there another possibility? That person killed your daughter on the day I returned and wanted to frame me. He knew my whereabouts from the beginning and chose your daughter because you, as the Censor, are responsible for supervising all officials."
"If the Shangshu Mansion had a grudge against you, you would likely ignore everyone's obstruction in the court and directly state your own demands, that is, you would want to report my father, something like that. This is also what the other party would most like to see happen, but they have never done so. Why is that?"
"Because I've been away from the capital for a while now, I can't find anyone to confront, so it's hard to take action. But when I came back, you immediately received this clear instruction. What does this mean? It means that the person in the dark knows my whereabouts perfectly well and has definitely sent someone to plant someone near me. But I can confirm that my friends are all right, so the most likely person is someone on the street, or maybe more than one person.
How many people in the entire court can possess such abilities? Your Excellency the Censor knows better than me that they are all important officials in the court. If you were to investigate thoroughly, you would not only offend my father, but also the person who was sent to monitor me. In other words, there are at least three groups of people who will end up in trouble: one on my side, one who killed your daughter, and one who was sent to sow discord between you."
Shen Chu's words were a bit confusing and Liu Taiming didn't quite understand them, but he was too embarrassed to ask Shen Chu to say it again. He could only nod thoughtfully, pretending that he had understood them, but in fact he didn't understand them at all.
"So the people who informed me about this incident are not the same people who hurt my daughter?"
Hearing this question, Shen Chu gave an affirmative answer, "In my opinion, that's the case."
Just as Liu Taiming was about to ask something else, he heard another voice, one that was filled with panic and confusion. It was her brother Shen Yi's voice, "Chu'er? Why are you here? What's the matter? Censor Liu must be here looking for Daddy. Let's not disturb Daddy from talking to him."
As he spoke, he walked over to Shen Chu and was about to pull Shen Chu away, but before he could actually move, Shen Chu took the initiative to break free from his hand and said calmly, "Brother, I know why Censor Liu came here. I hope you won't stop me, okay?"
Then, she looked at the shoe exposed at the door and said in a funny voice, "Daddy, I know it's you, come out."
