You can't tell just by looking at the small size of the belly, but you need to examine it more deeply. Zhao didn't resist and let Shen Yuxi examine it.
After Shen Yu's examination, he determined that she had indeed given birth to a child, but Mrs. Qian refused to comply and even threatened her with death, saying that this was a huge humiliation to her.
Shen Yuyu laughed at this time and said sternly to Mrs. Qian: "Mrs. Qian, even if I don't test you, I have already come to a conclusion. Come out with me.'
A flash of panic flashed in Mrs. Qian's eyes, but she quickly calmed down, packed her clothes and came to the lobby.
"Mrs. Qian, I want to ask you something. Were you fatter before than you are now?" Shen Yuyu asked, looking at Mrs. Qian who was kneeling in the hall again.
"Yes." Mrs. Qian wanted to lie, but who didn't recognize her? Everyone knew that she was at least thirty or forty pounds heavier than she is now, but she lost weight later.
Shen Yue smiled after hearing this.
"Mrs. Qian, the patterns on your belly are obesity marks. They are not only on your belly, but also on your thighs and arms. So you have never been pregnant with a child at all. Your 'son' is clearly Zhao's." Shen Yu Yu touched Mrs. Qian's pelvis and found that the pelvis would change after giving birth. That's why Shen Yu Yu was so sure that Mrs. Qian had never given birth to a child.
After saying that, he stared sternly at Po Wen, who was testifying for Mrs. Qian, "Someone, drag down this Po Wen who gave false testimony and reward her with a slap in the face until she is beaten to death if she doesn't tell the truth."
Po Wen was so frightened that she was pushed down on the bench by the officer and was beaten twice before she was beaten all over.
She took a hundred taels of silver from the money clerk to give false evidence to Mrs. Qian, who had never given birth to a child.
After having a breakthrough, Shen Yuyu made another threat. Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian could not resist and revealed the truth.
Mr. Qian's family was rich but he was suffering from infertility. Many women were brought to the house, but none of them could bear "fruits", which made Mr. Qian very upset.
That day when he was out of the house to do some business, he saw Zhao's two-year-old son playing alone in front of the house. Seeing that he was well-behaved and cute, he was so lovable that he immediately couldn't move his feet.
He stepped forward and teased the child a few words. Seeing that there was no adult nearby to watch over him, he secretly picked him up in the carriage and took him back to his house.
He stole someone else's son and raised him in his house, claiming to the outside world that he was his wife's son.
Mrs. Qian was obese and rarely went out. Even when she went out, she had a big belly. No one could tell whether she was pregnant or not. So no one suspected her at first, until Mrs. Zhao recognized her son and started a lawsuit.
However, Mr. Qian was rich, so he used money to settle the matter and drove the Zhao family to death. It was indeed hateful.
Shen Yuyu immediately pronounced the verdict that Mr. Qian had committed a heinous act of stealing a child in broad daylight and was sentenced to five years in prison. He also compensated Zhao's family one thousand taels of silver and the child was immediately returned.
After hearing the verdict, Officer Qian and Mrs. Qian collapsed on the ground, while Ms. Zhao hugged the child and kowtowed to Shen Yu.
The child was back with her, and she was no longer stupid. She quickly returned home with the money awarded to her and thanked her deeply.
After handling this case, someone outside complained about injustice.
The person who complained was an old man with a face full of sorrow, saying that his son went to the city to sell vegetables some time ago and was wrongfully killed and imprisoned. He would be executed in three days.
"My son is an honest countryman. How can he have the guts to have an affair with a rich lady? He doesn't even have the guts to kill someone. Please, Princess, please investigate clearly."
"Old man, tell me slowly, what's going on?" Shen Yuyu lowered his voice.
The old man spoke tremblingly.
His son's name is Da Zhuang. He is in his early twenties and is an honest farmer plowing the fields.
Five days ago, I came to the city to sell vegetables. When I was leaving the city after selling the vegetables, I was caught by the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city.
I don’t know how the fake County Magistrate Lei tried, but he concluded that Da Zhuang had committed adultery with Mrs. Li, and he was scheduled to be executed in three days.
After all, the old man was not the person involved, and he could not explain many things clearly. He burst into tears and emphasized that his son must have been wronged.
Shen Yuyu had seen the fake Lei County Magistrate try the case before, so this case would naturally need to be retried.
So he sent someone to bring a stool to the old man and said kindly, "Master, I will try your son's case right now. You can just sit aside and listen."
After the old man sat down, Shen Yuyu sent someone to dig out the case file. This is what was written on the file.
The wife of Mr. Li, a rich man in the west of the city, had an affair with Da Zhuang and was caught by his aunt. Da Zhuang killed his aunt and tried to escape from the city. He was caught by the officers and soldiers at the city gate. The murder weapon was found in the load he carried. The Xiang Xiang Xiang given to him by Mrs. Li was found in his pocket. It can be said that the evidence is conclusive.
After reading the file, Shen Yuhu took Da Zhuang out of prison.
Da Zhuang was carried into the lobby with injuries all over his body and his legs were broken. It seemed that he had been tortured to extract a confession.
When the uncle saw his son being tortured like this, he burst into tears.
Shen Yuyu hurriedly asked Shadow to bring the medical kit, treated Da Zhuang's wounds first, then put a splint on his broken leg, and then began to examine the case amidst the praises of the onlookers.
First, I sent someone to call Young Master Li.
"Where is your wife? Why didn't you come with us?" Shen Yuyu looked at Mr. Li kneeling in the hall and looked at him carefully.
At first glance, Mr. Li looked like a rich playboy. Although he knelt down in the hall in awe of Princess Ye's majesty, he could tell that there was a bit of disdain in his bones.
When Shen Yuyu asked him something, he answered stiffly.
"I caught my wife on the spot having an affair with someone, and she has already sunk into the pond.'
Shen Yuyu was speechless after hearing this. This was the case in this dynasty. It was true that lynching could be used in the family. Ji Xun felt that this was very inappropriate. He petitioned many times in the hope of legislating against lynching, but was rejected. The old ministers in the court objected.
Therefore, Shen Yuyu was unable to refute Mr. Li's words and could only focus on the case.
This case is a bit troublesome. One of the parties involved is dead, and the murder weapon and tokens were found on the suspect Da Zhuang. It may take some time to find out these things.
After a moment of silence, he said: "This matter is complicated, so I will postpone Da Zhuang's execution date by one month until I, the princess, can investigate it thoroughly."
"No, no, no, don't, Princess." Hearing Shen Yuyu say that the case should be pushed back, Da Zhuang became anxious and spoke hurriedly with red eyes, "Princess, this case doesn't matter whether it's adultery with Mrs. Li's wife. Who is it, who is the murderer, it’s not me after all.”
"I, I am a useless person, how can I commit adultery with others?" After saying this, the tall and dignified seven-foot-tall man burst into tears, "I was gored by a mad cow when I was plowing the fields, and I have long since lost the ability to be a man~ ~"
"Go and check." Shen Yuyu immediately sent someone to bring a piece of cloth to surround Da Zhuang and check it on the spot.
After the official inspection, he was afraid that Mr. Li would not believe it, so he asked Mr. Li to go up and have a look.
Mr. Li had nothing to say after seeing it. Da Zhuang's body had been hit hard and he was indeed clean with the eunuch.
"Since it is an unjust case, let the person who was wronged be released first." Shen Yuyu ordered, "and compensate his father and son two hundred taels of silver, and send him to medical treatment."
The old man and Da Zhuang were beyond words to express their gratitude. They just kept kowtowing, and then the official sent them out.
After the unjustly sentenced Da Zhuang and his son left, Mr. Li refused to accept it and said, "Since Princess Ye is so decisive for the people, please help me find the real culprit and give me justice and give justice to my aunt who died in vain at home."
