Chapter 403 The Truth
Shen Li was not so crazy as to push his wife into the room on the day when his father-in-law got a son. (Although he wanted to)
He just pushed Zhou Qing against the wall in a deserted place, put his palm on the back of Zhou Qing's head, hugged him in his arms, kissed him thoroughly, and said a few words that made people's ears redden and their hearts beat fast before letting him go.
It was not that he had a guilty conscience and let him go on his own initiative, but Li Yi had been waiting for half an incense stick ten meters away.
Shen He's mother confessed.
Shen Li strode out of Zhou Mansion and rode straight to Shadow.
The old lady had been tortured in Shadow's cell for many days at her old age. During these days, Shadow used all kinds of means, but the old lady was always like a heartless iron man, not saying a word.
"Why did she suddenly figure it out?"
Getting off the horse, Shen Li strode towards the cell.
Li Yi followed on one side, "She met Kou Rong."
Shen Li paused as he stepped forward, and turned to look at Li Yi in surprise.
Li Yi immediately pursed his lips.
At that time, King Ning rebelled and colluded with Miaojiang Saint Kou Rong. After Kou Rong was captured by Zhou Qing in Qinghe County, Shen Li escorted her directly to Kyoto and locked her up in the shadow.
Kou Rong's identity was so complicated that Shen Li was amazed.
She was the Miaojiang Saint, who was good at using Gu and was revered as a god by the Miaojiang people.
The Miaojiang Saints had never married in the past, in order to maintain the innocence of the Saints.
However, Kou Rong was Shi Yuexin's biological mother.
When King Ning rebelled, Kou Rong was an important figure in the King Ning Party. The painting in Qinghe Academy, the predecessor of Huaishan Academy in Qinghe County, contained more than just the vastness of the smoke and waves, and more than just the distribution map of the imperial city.
Shen Li later asked the emperor about the picture, and the emperor said that it was something that the old Rongyang Marquis's father brought back from the battlefield.
Zhou Huaishan himself didn't know about this.
But Kou Rong knew.
And now, Shen He's mother, who had refused to give up, suddenly confessed because she met Kou Rong!
This.
Shen Li took a deep breath and waited for Li Yi's explanation.
Li Yi licked his lips, "It was the two brothers who were guarding Kou Rong. They mentioned the old lady of the Shen family during a casual chat. Kou Rong heard it and said she had a way to make her confess.
The two brothers did not dare to make a decision and immediately reported it to Deputy Commander Gao.
Deputy Commander Gao was going to report it, but you went to Wang Guogong's mansion to pick up Wang Jin at that time. Kou Rong said it was not a big deal. As long as the old lady saw her, she would definitely confess.
Deputy Commander Gao asked her to walk around the old lady's cell.
When the old lady saw Kou Rong, she rushed over like crazy and wanted to beat people, but later... later she confessed."
Shen Li listened, and his heart was filled with shock.
Kou Rong just walked around and made people confess?
As they were talking, Deputy Commander Gao Li came over from not far away. He glanced at Li Yi, saluted Shen Li with his fists, and then said, "You know?"
Shen Li took a deep breath, "All confessed?"
Gao Li nodded and handed over the file in his hand, "She doesn't know much, but it can be regarded as a breakthrough."
Shen Li took the file and glanced at it, "I'm going into the palace now, you go to talk to Kou Rong."
Gao Li nodded, "Before you came, I had been talking to her. Her affairs are a bit complicated. Forget it, wait for you to come back and tell me in detail. It's not something I want to hear right away."
Shen Li pinched his eyebrows, "Go on, don't leave her alone before I come back."
Gao Li looked at Shen Li in confusion, and then understood, "Don't worry, I know."
Shen Li said, "What about the old lady?"
"She's in the cell after taking the tranquilizing soup. Don't worry, she won't wake up before dark."
Shen Li didn't say much, and took the file and went straight to the palace.
Imperial study room
The emperor carefully read the file handed over by Shen Li, his face was livid with uncontrollable anger.
The old lady explained everything clearly in the file.
On the day when the incident happened in Rongyang Marquis's Mansion, an old maid in the palace found her and promised that as long as she cooperated, she would guarantee that Shen He would work in the position of Dali Temple until old age.
At that time, Shen He had been the Dali Temple for less than a year, and his official position was extremely unstable.
Of course, if she did not cooperate, the other party would reveal the ugly things Shen He had done.
Bisexuality, marriage fraud.
Before Shen He married Huang Chen, he had been secretly involved with the son of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.
Shen He was born in a poor family. He was able to have money to study and to smooth the official network, all thanks to the continuous financial support from the son of the wealthy businessman.
He spent a lot of money for so many years.
The reason why people were willing to support him was for that sincere love.
However, Shen He was appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple, but he turned his back on him and drowned the son of a wealthy businessman who came to him.
At that time, Zhou Qing came to ask for the dowry, and the portrait he pulled out was the portrait of the son of the wealthy businessman.
Shen Li had investigated this matter clearly.
The son of the wealthy businessman was not really dead. After being secretly put into a sack by Shen He and thrown into the river, he was lucky enough to struggle out from the bottom of the water and swam to the shore.
He thought that the touching love had finally blossomed and borne fruit. He never expected that this relationship could really be recognized in the sun. He just wanted to be closer to Shen He, but he didn't expect that his enthusiasm would end up in the wrong place.
The son of the wealthy businessman had real feelings for Shen He for so many years. Shen He was willing to kill him, but he couldn't bear to retaliate. He became a monk out of grief.
The reason why Shen Li found out the truth but did not use it as an opportunity to deal with Shen He was to respect the Buddhist monk and did not want to disturb his peace for several years.
Moreover, even if this matter was exposed, it would not reach An Ying.
The Ministry of Justice could stop everything.
This matter only occupies a small proportion in the files.
Shen He's mother agreed to the request of the palace nanny, of course, part of the reason was that she did not want her son's scandal to be exposed and she would lose her current wealth and glory.
But the more important reason was Huang Chen's mother.
After the palace nanny came to the door, Huang Chen's mother came to the door in the name of visiting her daughter.
This time, she brought Huang Chen's sister and the title deed of a jade mine.
If Shen He's mother agreed to the palace's request, she would leave both of them to the Shen family.
Shen He's mother did not understand why Huang Chen's mother knew the palace's request, nor did she understand why Huang Chen's mother did this, but she could not resist the temptation of a jade mine.
Isn't it just putting drugs in the well water? Put it.
As a result, on the day the drug was administered, the Rongyang Marquisate was brutally wiped out.
The next day after the incident, Shen He's mother was so frightened that she couldn't recover for a whole day, but when she recovered, the first thing she did was to give away the jade mine deed in her hand.
At that time, the person she gave it to was Kou Rong.
