Two officers from the Criminal Department came forward and dragged out the old lady who was limp into a puddle of mud.
As soon as the old lady was dragged out, heavy rain poured down.
The official dragged the old lady away in the rain.
When the maid of Qinghuiyuan saw this scene, she felt like the sky was falling.
They all knew that the Marquis no longer respected the old lady as much as before, but the most he could do was ground the old lady. This time it was the Minister of Punishment who took the old lady away.
The Ministry of Punishments deals with major cases of murder and arson.
The maids and women were trembling with fear.
The Minister of Punishment didn't know how to comfort Shen Jing. He had adopted a thief as his mother for more than thirty years. This was too cruel to Shen Jing, and he couldn't persuade her even if he wanted to. "Master Marquis, don't get so angry, I'll go back first."
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment saluted Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, and Xie Jingyan said, "I'd like to thank the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
The Minister of Punishment said hurriedly, "I don't dare to take it seriously. This is a matter within the Punishment Department."
It was raining heavily late at night, so the Minister of Punishment wrapped himself in a raincoat, held an umbrella and left.
Shen Wan looked at Shen Jing who was silent and called, "Father..."
Shen Jing's eyes were red and her voice was choked, "When did you find out that the old lady was killed?"
This hit him hard.
Shen Wan didn't reveal a word to Shen Jing before, and he heard the truth directly without any psychological preparation.
Shen Wan said, "The day Princess Huai'an sprained her ankle, I came back to see her. When I was leaving, I happened to meet Mrs. Wang coming to the Hou Mansion. My daughter was afraid that they were conspiring again, so she asked Chen Feng to eavesdrop..."
Although Chen Feng heard about it, he wanted to catch the traitor and the couple, and the thief and the stolen goods.
It is easy to kill the old lady, but difficult to make her confess.
This happened more than thirty years ago. Even in such a large Hou Mansion, there are not many people who have been in the Hou Mansion for more than thirty years, let alone those who know these secrets.
The truth can only be told from the mouth of the old lady or Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang is staying at the Wang family. No matter how capable Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan are, it will be difficult for them to get in in a short time. They can only start from Mrs. Wang.
After all, Shen Wan had stayed in the palace for several years and had seen a lot of dirty tricks. Knowing that there were medicines that could make people suffer from insomnia and nightmares, she asked Doctor Tao for help.
At first, Doctor Tao refused. After all, this medicine was mostly used to harm people. Knowing that Shen Wan was using it to force the old lady to tell the truth, Doctor Tao made an exception and gave Shen Wan the medicine.
That night, the medicinal powder was put into the tea the old lady drank.
For four days in a row, the old lady suffered from insomnia every night. Whenever she slept, she would have nightmares.
Only by having too many nightmares can the deepest fears in the heart be dug out. Coupled with the good weather and the violent storms that heightened the atmosphere, the old lady was so confused that she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. In addition, Shen Wan was looking for her elder brother Shen Du. With help, she got the portrait of the old lady hidden in the darkroom of Shen Jing's study. She used the portrait to disguise herself, which made the old lady fearful, thinking that the old lady had come to seek her life.
It only took five days from the time Shen Wan knew about it to the time the old lady told the truth.
After Shen Wan finished speaking, Shen Jing walked down the steps.
I didn't wear a raincoat or hold an umbrella, so I just walked in the rain.
"Father……"
Shen Wan shouted.
No one answered her.
Manager Li quickly caught up with Shen Jing to hold an umbrella.
Shen Du watched Shen Jing walk away. Seeing Shen Wan worried, Shen Du said, "My father is a martial arts practitioner. He will be fine if he gets wet in the rain."
"On your side, it's raining too hard and there's a curfew on the streets. You definitely won't be able to go back tonight."
Today's City Patrol Division is not the former City Patrol Division.
The Criminal Department can ignore the curfew when handling cases, while others roam the streets. No matter who they are, they have to go to the City Patrol Department to spend the night.
Xie Jingyan said, "I'll stay at Pingyang Marquis Mansion tonight and go back tomorrow."
Yinshuang brought a cloak and Xie Jingyan helped Shen Wan put it on, then picked her up horizontally. Chen Feng held an umbrella and went to Qinglan Garden where Shen Wan lived before getting married.
It was raining heavily and Xie Jingyan was soaked to the skin, but Shen Wan only had a few drops of rain falling on his face and was not wet at all.
After returning to the house, Shen Wan asked the maid to prepare hot water for Xie Jingyan to take a hot bath.
Here, Xie Jingyan took off his clothes and took a bath. Over there in the south courtyard, the second master was making out with Aunt Liu, who was born outside the family. When he was in high spirits, there was a knock on the door.
The good thing was interrupted, the second master said angrily, "What happened?!"
The maid said anxiously, "Something happened at Qinghui Court. The old lady was taken away by the Minister of Punishment."
The second master's expression changed drastically.
How could the Minister of Punishment come to Pingyang Marquis Mansion this late at night and take the old lady away?
The second master immediately got off Aunt Liu and went out without even putting on his clothes.
Taking the umbrella from the maid's hand, the second master hurried down the steps to ask Shen Jing, the criminal department, why he wanted the old lady.
However, the second master could not even enter the courtyard door of Shen Jing's study. The secret guard stopped him. The second master was angry and wanted to break in. In the past, the secret guard would not have dared to fight the second master, but now it is different. Well, the Marquis was not in the mood to see the son of his enemy at the moment. The second master did not listen to the advice, and the secret guard did not hesitate. He raised his foot and kicked the second master away.
The second master did not expect that the secret guard would dare to attack him. Without any rebuttal, he was kicked away and rolled on the ground several times.
The rain poured down on his face, and the second master's heart fell to the bottom.
The secret guard's kick was very forceful. The second master fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Manager Li called two boys to send the second master back to the south courtyard.
That night, few people in the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion could sleep.
The rain was so heavy that the windows and trees rattled, and the tiles on the roof were even knocked down. It would wake people up even if they were asleep. Then, I was worried about the old lady being taken away by the Minister of Punishment. Uneasy, this matter is too big, even if it rains heavily, it still spreads throughout the entire Hou Mansion.
When the news reached the North Courtyard, the fourth master and his wife were all ready to go to bed. After hearing the news, the fourth master went out, and the fourth wife was no longer sleepy. If it hadn't rained so hard, she and the fourth master would have gone to bed. We went to the front yard together, and she was waiting impatiently in the house.
I don’t know how long I waited before the fourth master came back. The fourth wife came up to meet him and asked urgently, "Why did the Criminal Department arrest the old lady?"
"The arrest was not unfair," the fourth master said angrily.
The fourth wife looked astonished.
The fourth master said, "The old lady killed me first."
The fourth wife thought she was hallucinating, and her voice suddenly rose in pitch, "Didn't the old lady die of dystocia and hemorrhage?"
But if the evidence hadn't been conclusive, it would have been impossible for the Minister of Punishment to take the old lady away.
Thinking of the old lady saying thank you to the first lady for saving her life, the fourth wife's face looked as disgusting as if she had swallowed a fly.
Before dawn, the news spread that the old lady of Pingyanghou Mansion was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment. However, the first reaction of those who heard about this was disbelief. The Ministry of Punishment rarely arrests people at night, especially the one who was arrested was Pingyang Houfu. The old lady, an elderly lady, the Ministry of Punishment wants to arrest her, so there is no need to go there at night, it is definitely false news.
The wise does not buy rumours.
Do not believe.
Just don’t believe it.
Just when everyone did not believe the words, the Minister of Punishment led people to surround the Wang family, caught the old lady of the Wang family in a prison car, and took her to the Punishment Ministry.
Everyone knows that the Wang family of Liangjiang Salt Administration is the natal family of the old lady of Pingyang Hou Mansion.
The old lady of the Wang family was arrested, and the old lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion was arrested and sent to the Criminal Department. It may not be groundless.
Someone asked, "What crime did the old lady of Pingyang Houfu commit and was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment?"
"Which of you would dare to believe it? Marquis Pingyang's biological mother was actually killed to death by the old lady."
"How is this possible? In order to repay the old lady for saving her life, didn't she break off the engagement and remarry the old marquis?"
"So the needle behind the wasp's tail is the most poisonous to women's hearts."
"Just because the old lady of Pingyang Marquis Mansion allowed her son to have an illegitimate child, she is not a good person," a woman said.
"..."
Everyone was talking about it, and they were really shocked by the old lady's viciousness.
