Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

Soon, a thick stack of ledgers was piled in front of Shen Yan.

"Princess, these are the account books of ten towns and fifty villages in Changyang County in the past five years. Each village, one account book for each year, a total of [-] account books. The Princess can read each account book for a quarter of an hour, even if it is not It will take nearly three days to finish the movie without eating or sleeping," Zhang Hongfang said with a smile.

"Master Zhang has a very clear calculation." Shen Yan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, there are too many account books. There is no rush. The princess can eat and rest first, and you can read the account books slowly."

"No need." Shen Yan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. She stood up and saw Helin Village written on the top account book, so she picked it up.

During the past few days in Helin Village, she had already investigated the situation in the village clearly.

She picked up the account book and flipped through a few pages to see that there was something wrong with the account book.

This is a deliberately fake ledger.

Since it is a fake, nothing can be found out.

The fake ledger is here, where is the real ledger?

She put the fake account book back and remained calm, without alerting the enemy.

"Princess Anping, my subordinates have said that there is definitely nothing wrong with the account books. You don't need to check them at all." Zhang Hongfang couldn't help but feel proud in his tone.

"Did I say there was something wrong with the account book?" Shen Yan asked back.

Zhang Hongfang smiled awkwardly and wanted to slap himself in the face. He would be wrong if he said too much.

He changed the subject, "Princess, there is definitely no problem with the account book, but I have discovered other problems."

"what is the problem?"

"The rice seedlings in Changyang County were damaged this time. The official thought it was done intentionally." Zhang Hongfang said, "The rice seedlings in ten towns were damaged. It was too coincidental. The official felt it was very suspicious, so he sent someone to investigate. thing."

"Master Zhang, do you have any clues?" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Come, let's go see if He Er is back?" Zhang Hongfang ordered his servants and then smiled and said to Shen Yan, "Princess, we already have clues before, just wait for He Er to confirm, and we will know when he comes back. .”

After a while, the servant returned, followed by a short and fat man.

"Sir, He Er is back."

Zhang Hongfang asked the short, fat man, "What's the evidence?"

"Sir, the evidence is conclusive. The person who deliberately damaged the seedlings has been found." He Er answered.

"Who is it?" Zhang Hongfang asked.

"It's Gu Changhe from Helin Village." He Er said.

Gu Changhe is the old woman's father and Shen Yan's grandfather.

"Master Zhang, is there any misunderstanding in this?" Shen Yan said, "I stayed in Helin Village for a few days before, and I am familiar with the Mr. Gu you mentioned. Based on my understanding of him, he will never do any damage. It’s about the seedlings.”

Her grandfather thought she was a killer at first, but even though he saved Miao Miao, he didn't do anything to her.

How could he do something so outrageous as destroying the seedlings?

"Princess Anping, there is a saying that people should not be judged by their appearance. You know the face but not the heart." Zhang Hongfang said with a smile, "Princess Anping has investigated so many cases, so she should know this truth. Could it be that Gu Changhe and Princess What special relationship do you have? How dare you, the princess, protect him like this?"

This is why Shen Yan didn't recognize her grandfather at first.

She worried that someone was taking advantage of her grandparents.

It turns out that some people have already started doing this.

Shen Yan stared at Zhang Hongfang, "Doesn't Mr. Zhang know whether I have a relationship with him?"

If you didn't know, you wouldn't ask.

Moreover, Tiandao Pavilion had searched for her maternal grandfather and grandmother for so long but there was no news. Why was she so lucky that she came across a case when she went out to investigate?

She vaguely felt that someone was behind the whole thing.

"I really don't know, but you will know as long as the person is arrested and interrogated. Princess Anping, don't you think so?"

Zhang Hongfang still had a smile on his face, but the respect before was gone and he was full of arrogance.

He, a seventh-grade small county magistrate, actually has the courage to provoke the noble princess?

Who gave him the courage?

Shen Yan wanted to follow the clues, so she suppressed her anger and said, "Master Zhang, you'd better come up with evidence, otherwise, your life may be at risk!"

"Princess, please rest assured, Xiaguan's head is very safe!" Zhang Hongfang ordered, "Come here, go to the palace and take Gu Changhe from Helin Village!"

Everyone arrived at the court.

In less than half a stick of incense, Mr. Gu appeared in the court.

From the county government office to Helin Village, even if we work hard, it will take nearly two hours at least.

Mr. Gu arrived just like that. It seemed that Zhang Hongfang had captured him long ago.

Seeing that Mr. Gu was covered with wounds, Shen Yan's eyes sternly said, "Zhang Hongfang, it's not yet certain whether Mr. Gu is guilty or not, why do you want to torture him?"

It was cold in spring, so everyone wore cotton-padded jackets. Mr. Gu only wore a single coat.

Moreover, the unlined garment was in tatters. It looked like it had been beaten to pieces by a whip. The bloody wounds could be seen from the ragged unlined garment.

"What Princess Anping said is wrong. Gu Changhe has pleaded guilty. He admitted that all the seedlings in Changyang County were deliberately destroyed by him."

Zhang Hongfang looked proud. He looked at Mr. Gu and asked sternly, "Gu Changhe, do you think the seedlings in Changyang County were deliberately destroyed by you?"

Although Mr. Gu was covered in injuries, he still stood upright, calm and magnanimous, and proud.

He looked at Shen Yan with a smile on his lips.

"Yes, I did it all."

"Princess Anping, did you see it? No one is forcing him now, he admitted it on his own initiative." Zhang Hongfang said with a smile.

"Master Zhang, is this the evidence you are talking about? Arrest the person, torture him to extract a confession, and then go to court and make the person who was forced to confess his crime admit his crime in the court!" Shen Yan's voice was cold and stern.

"Princess Anping, aren't you the Lord Qingtian who is known to the common people? Now that the prisoner has confessed his crime, why are you still defending him?"

Zhang Hongfang's face suddenly turned cold. He looked at the people outside the court and asked, "Dear fellow villagers, your seedlings have been damaged this year. I know how anxious you are. It is this person, Gu Changhe from Helin Village, who destroyed you." Yangmiao, you almost starved, how do you think you should punish him?"

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

……

There were shouts of killing, and Shen Yan screamed at the sound. Some people didn't look like ordinary people.

Under the leadership of those few people, villagers in other villages also cheered loudly, not knowing the truth.

"Princess Anping, look, they all hate Gu Changhe deeply. If they don't kill Gu Changhe, why are the common people angry?"

Zhang Hongfang ordered sternly, "Someone, drag Gu Changhe down! Let him rectify the law on the spot!"

"Let's see who dares!" Shen Yan and Mr. Gu stood side by side.

Although she had just met the grandfather who buried her daughter Hong for her, she felt a strong sense of family affection.

In other words, it was not her grandfather who was wronged today, but someone else, and she would still save him!
