Chapter 35: One Leaf Cannot See Mount Tai

Chapter 35 A leaf can’t see Mount Tai

"If you have something to say, say it. I don't want to hear any nonsense!" Shen Luo scolded the woman when she saw her squirming and timidity.

How can you find the strength to talk such nonsense when you have been wronged?

Liu Yinyin immediately replied: "Sir, the women of the common people have been going to various government offices these days to complain about their grievances, but they were kicked out of the lobby before they could speak. The women of the common people could only scream loudly."

After finishing her words, Liu Yinyin looked at Shen Luo and begged: "A civilian woman has something to hide and cannot speak. Can you please speak to a civilian woman alone?"

"Sir, your safety is the most important thing. You must not meet the prisoner alone." The taciturn Gao Lian was always vigilant and immediately spoke to stop him.

Your safety is more important than anything else, and you must never let anyone with evil intentions get close to you.

"It doesn't matter, this is Beizhen Prefecture, she can't make much trouble," Shen Luo said.

After saying that, Shen Luo walked into the inner hall: "Follow me."

Liu Yinyin quickly followed. When she arrived at the inner hall, Liu Yinyin carefully checked that no one was around and slowly opened her belt...

"What are you doing?" Shen Luo was frightened and panicked for the first time.

How can a woman take off her clothes without even saying hello when meeting her?

"Sir, please don't get me wrong." Liu Yinyin cried and pulled down her clothes: "Sir, you have experienced hundreds of battles. You should be able to tell how old these scars are on civilian women and what they are caused by."

Shen Luo came to the woman, looked at her for a moment, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Liu Yinyin's body was covered with whip marks, numerous bruises, and there were traces of knots on her neck.

Even if Liu Yinyin didn't speak, she had already guessed what kind of weapons these scars came from.

Liu Yinyin cried: "My husband is not a human being, he is a beast."

"Fang Chaozong is a liar. He persuaded my parents to marry me and embezzled my family property."

As she said this, Liu Yinyin burst into tears, "But he was idle and addicted to gambling. It didn't take long for him to lose all his money."

"He has no ability and can accomplish nothing in anything he does, but he has a bright mind and quickly comes up with new ideas."

Liu Yinyin was afraid that Shen Luo would be bored with her, so she continued in one breath: "He left his hometown and took me to wander around. Everywhere he went, he started to inquire about local wealthy businessmen, chatted with people, and became betrothed. Then he deliberately abused me and was seen."

"Then he directed and staged a "girl-catching scene" to falsely accuse me of having an affair with an outsider, and threatened others to hand over their property to avoid being stigmatized."

"At first he was just showing off, but then it gradually turned into reality."

She carefully pulled up her clothes and whispered: "Sir, Master Yi and I really just met by chance. He is a good man. He just saw me being whipped by Fang Chaozong and couldn't bear it, so he tried to persuade me. He has never treated me like this. Out of necessity, he just wanted to save me."

"I don't know what went wrong. Fang Chaozong seemed to be crazy and wanted to kill Mr. Yi. In the end, he slandered Mr. Yi and me and killed him in public, regardless of his own face."

Liu Yinyin knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily and begged: "Sir, Mr. Yi is unjust. He just wants to help me get rid of Fang Chaozong so that I can reconcile with him."

"Sir, the real person causing trouble has always been Fang Chaozong."

"Pap." The tears fell on the floor, making a crisp sound.

Liu Yinyin raised her eyes and looked at Shen Luo, crying: "Sir, I really have no choice but to redress my grievances. My lord, please save me, please restore Mr. Yi's innocence."

Shen Luo looked at the woman whose eyes were red from crying, and said, "Except for the one named Yi, does Fang Chaozong have any other life-related lawsuits on his hands? How many people have you harmed together in these years?"

"Sir?" Liu Yinyin cried like rain, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you want me to compile a summary of what happened over the years?"

"I will give you half a day to record every detail of the relationship between you and Fang Chaozong, the process of framed others, as well as the property obtained, the names and addresses of the victims, in detail, into a book." After leaving a sentence, Shen Shen Luo turned and left.

Liu Yinyin held up her tattered sleeves and wiped away her tears, then hurriedly got up and ran out of the inner room. She mustered up the courage to run to the lobby and begged: "Sir, I beg you, please lend me some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. I want to write down what happened."

"Okay, come with me." Jin Xiaochun replied, turned around and took him to the vacant study.

Jin Xiaochun stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit down and write. Liu Yinyin immediately thanked her, then sat down, picked up the brush and began to narrate her past.

After Jin Xiaochun brought Liu Yinyin to the study, he did not leave, but stood by quietly.

This is the Beizhen Prefecture. Except for Mr. Situ, who can move freely, anyone else who enters must be monitored for 12 hours to prevent the other party from having evil intentions.

Liu Yinyin felt slightly uncomfortable because there was someone beside her, but she still did not slow down her writing speed.

Shen Luo walked into the lobby to deal with the case files. Xin Zhuiyue supported her sore legs and stepped into the door, plopped down and knelt down: "Sir, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Shen Luo glanced at Xin Zhuiyue, who was kneeling in front of her, and said, "Do you know why I want to punish you?"

Xin Zhuiyue lowered her head and said obediently to herself: "I shouldn't have made a conclusion without checking. My words were even disrespectful."

Shen Luo ignored Xin Zhuiyue and read through the mountains of cases at hand (cases reported by various government agencies).

Until Jin Xiaochun presented the evidence written by Liu Yinyin to Shen Luo, Xin Zhuiyue was still kneeling in the lobby.

Liu Yinyin looked at the empty hall and stood trembling outside the door. For some reason, she was afraid of Shen Luo and the Beizhen Prefecture Secretary from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Luo said to Jin Xiaochun: "Give Deputy Situ the past cases mentioned by Liu Yinyin and ask her to kneel down and read them to me."

Xin Zhuiyue took the case file from Jin Xiaochun's hand and read aloud: "In the 19th year of Qingli, a civilian woman Liu Yinyin met Fang Chaozong and got married on June 15th of the same year."

As Xin Zhuiyue read, her heart filled with anger. She stood up angrily and cursed sternly: "I'm so crazy. How could there be such a disgusting man in this world? He would frame his wife for having an affair with someone just for money. His wife is used as a pawn, even..."

"Who allowed you to get up?" Shen Luo looked at Xin Zhuiyue who suddenly stood up. His amber eyes were as deep as the abyss, hiding a depth and silence that no one else could see through.

Xin Zhuiyue held the case file in his hand, knelt down again, and then defended in a low voice: "I was just angry for a moment and forgot about it. I didn't mean it."

Shen Luo glanced at the reflection next to the door and whispered: "You are always so impulsive. Do you believe whatever others say?"

Xin Zhuiyue lowered her head in shame.

Shen Luo put down the case file in his hand, walked to Xin Zhuiyue, took the case file from her hand, and whispered: "A blinded eye cannot see Mount Tai. How many times have I warned you not to be fooled by the people or things in front of you."
