Chapter 664 Come, help Mrs. Tong take off the mask
Shen Tianshu's body stiffened slightly for a moment. She was actually not afraid of confronting Grandma Wang in court. After all, the wet nurse's death was not her fault.
What she is most worried about is her identity.
I thought that the case had already been tried in court and no one mentioned it, so it should be considered a fool. However, Qian Poxin still did not let this go.
In fact, Qian Poxin had always felt that something was not right before. After watching for a long time, he finally discovered that Mrs. Tong actually had a mask on her face when she got to the court.
So after he finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Zhonglei's expression.
I had always heard that Lord Shen Zhonglei was a capable minister and official. He was about to be able to become an official in the capital. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Li Zian halfway and was taken to Wuchang Prefecture to be the prefect.
Logically speaking, he should be a smart person, why didn’t he even notice this?
Could it be that he has been won over by Prince Rui’s Mansion a long time ago?
Shen Zhonglei was stunned when he heard Qian Poxin's words. Maybe he was like this from the beginning when he saw Lady Tong.
He doesn't feel dissatisfied with wearing a mask. After all, many people with real abilities have some quirks to one degree or another.
Wearing a mask does not hinder her ability to treat illnesses and save people. Once she is used to it, she has long become accustomed to it.
After hearing Qian Poxin point this out, Shen Zhonglei realized that he had never seen Lady Tong's true face after knowing her for so long.
Then he thought about whether to replace her or not. Even if Mrs. Tong was really willing to take off her mask at this time, he would not be able to confirm her identity. After all, no one should have seen her true face.
"Ahem!" Qian Poxin saw Shen Zhonglei sitting on the table with his head dazed. For a moment, he didn't know what his attitude was. He could only cough to attract the other person's attention, and then said aloud, "Master Shen must have the same idea as me, right? "
His question was rather sinister.
If you just ask "What do you think, Mr. Shen?", if Shen Zhonglei has different opinions, he can still express them tactfully.
But after being asked like this, if Shen Zhonglei raised any different opinions, it would be equivalent to openly opposing him.
Shen Zhonglei raised his hand to cover his mouth with some embarrassment and coughed, taking the opportunity to quickly organize words in his mind.
But before he could think of what to say, Fan Yuru spoke first: "It's inconvenient for Mrs. Tong to take off her mask, but I can guarantee her that there is absolutely no imposter. If Mr. Qian doesn't believe it, I can also use Rui The name of the Prince's Palace guarantees her."
Fan Yuru was standing next to Shen Tianshu, so he immediately noticed her sudden stiffness.
Although she quickly forced herself to relax, the hands covered by her sleeves still clenched and unclenched hard, and her breathing became faster than before, all of which showed how nervous she was at this time.
So when Fan Yuru spoke, he subconsciously took half a step forward to protect Shen Tianshu behind him.
When Qian Poxin saw Fan Yuru's action, his eyes lit up and he interpreted a different meaning.
Could it be that this so-called Lady Tong was just deliberately released by Prince Rui's Palace to attract attention?
If I can figure out the secret between Prince Rui's Mansion and Lady Tong during this trip, it will be a great success immediately.
Therefore, Qian Poxin would never give up just because Fan Yuru used Prince Rui's Mansion to put pressure on him.
On the contrary, the greater Fan Yuru's reaction was, the more excited he became, feeling that he was only one step away from the truth.
Although I don’t know what the truth behind it is, a great opportunity is already in front of me. There is no such store after this village.
He immediately began to slap his hat on him and said: "Mr. Fan, this is the court, not the flower hall of Prince Rui's mansion.
"Mrs. Tong is a commoner and wears a mask to go to court. She clearly does not take the two court officials, Mr. Shen and me, into consideration. She despises the court and the court. This cannot be revealed by anyone's guarantee."
As Qian Poxin spoke, he looked at Fan Yuru with a hypocritical smile and said, "Mr. Fan, let me say something that may not sound very nice. Qian is inspecting Huguang on the order of the emperor. How is the reputation of the prince's palace in the fiefdom and how is it doing? All within the scope of my responsibilities.
"Mr. Fan, in front of me, took advantage of the authority of the Prince's Palace and blatantly favored the defendant. This is not a good choice!"
Shen Tianshu couldn't watch Fan Yuru stand up to Qian Poxin for him, so he took a step forward and said: "Sir Qian, the reason women wear masks is because of their bodies, not because of contempt for the court, but because of your capacity.
"It is precisely because the people's daughter respects the two adults and respects the court, so even though the reason why Aunt Wang sued the people's daughter can be said to be extremely absurd, the people's daughter still came to respond.
"The women of the people believe that there are laws in the court and justice in the hall. As long as they act upright and sit upright, the two Qingtian lords will be able to make impartial decisions and give justice to the women of the people."
After Shen Tianshu's words, he turned from defense to offense and directly pointed the finger back at Qian Poxin.
But the more they kept their masks and refused to let go, the more confident Qian Poxin became, and he felt complacent about having grasped the key.
A whole turtle is nailed to a heron's leg - bite it but don't let it go.
I saw the corners of his lips rising uncontrollably, and he said in a smooth tone: "Ms. Tong, what you said is wrong. Whether it is governing the country or settling a case, you need to be organized to have rules.
"Mother Wang is telling you, you have to respond. This is the first step.
"In court, it is required to prove the identity of the plaintiff and defendant. This is the second step.
“Only after these two steps have been confirmed clearly can we clarify the facts and make a fair decision.
"Now the second step is stuck with you. Even if Mr. Shen and I are reincarnated by Bao Longtu, we still can't give you justice."
After saying this, Qian Poxin's expression suddenly changed, his face darkened, his face became stern, and he said sternly: "Come here, help Mrs. Tong take off the mask!"
"Yes!" Two strong men responded and strode straight towards Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu didn't expect that Qian Poxin would dare to attack forcefully. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back. His back soon hit the wall, and he had no way to retreat.
She couldn't help but glance at Shen Zhonglei.
In front of the governor and all the government officials, he discovered that the defendant in the hall was actually his daughter who was supposed to be keeping filial piety at home and worshiping Buddha and copying scriptures in the nunnery...
Shen Tianshu simply couldn't imagine how Shen Zhonglei would react after his mask was taken off.
Shen Zhonglei felt uncomfortable at her helpless look, but Qian Poxin had given the order to crush people to death at the official level, and there was really nothing he could do at this time.
Fan Yuru quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Tianshu. Facing two strong men who were more than half a head taller than him, he was extremely confused as to whether he should call the guards outside to come in.
If he really comes in and takes action, it will be equivalent to completely breaking up with Qian Poxin, and it will be difficult to end it later.
The two strong men didn't care about this at all.
One person came up and controlled Fan Yuru a few times.
Another person reached out to lift the mask off Shen Tianshu's face...
