This night, some were happy and some were sad.

Shen Jing has been imprisoned. There are many people watching from the sidelines, but few actually help.

At the court meeting the next day, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue brought a man, saying that he was a witness who helped Shen Jingyi get out of the case.

Hearing this, the emperor was stunned.

"Has the Ministry of Justice not found anything yet?"

"Your Majesty, Huangzhou is far away after all. It is winter now and it is difficult to travel. There has been no progress." The head of the Ministry of Justice came out and bowed to explain.

But the look he gave the other person was somewhat unfriendly.

"What's going on? Where did this strange witness come from?"

Hearing this, the other party shook his head: "I don't know, I have never heard of such news."

There were undercurrents among the crowd, but they pretended to be calm and welcomed the person in.

"I am a commoner from Huangzhou. I used to live on the street of Shen's family."

The emperor waved his hand: "You said you came to exonerate Shen Jing, but do you have any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, Shen Jing is a well-known upright young man in Huangzhou. Not only does he hate evil, but he also once saved a woman who was bullied by a bully. That woman... was Chen Wei!"

Hearing this, the emperor seemed to be thinking about something.

The head of the Ministry of Justice sneered and said, "You said he saved someone, do you have any evidence?"

"Of course there is. Just ask Chen Wei and Shen An about their relationship."

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, not understanding what it meant.

"Your Majesty, Shen An and Chen Wei are a couple. Shen An first fell in love with her, so he robbed her in the street. Shen Jing saw it and scolded her, and then saved the girl."

"In order to escape Shen An's harassment, the woman later entered the Shen family as a maid, but Shen An couldn't find her, so he beat her parents and brothers to death."

Everyone had different expressions. They didn't expect things to develop like this.

"As for why Chen Wei wanted to frame Master Shen, I'm afraid we'll find out after interrogating her."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Ministry of Justice stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to obtain evidence based on just one side of the story. It is better to wait a little longer. The Ministry of Justice will investigate the matter."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is the number one scholar chosen by you. If this is really slander, it is really unfair."

Not only that, the emperor's face was also lost.

Hearing this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Call Chen Wei in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The head of the Ministry of Justice looked unhappy and somewhat uneasy.

He whispered something to the people around him, but soon fell silent again.

As soon as Chen Wei arrived and saw this man, her expression changed.

"Uncle Wang, why are you here? Who arrested you?"

The man shook his head: "No one forced me, I came to Kyoto on my own. I couldn't stay in Huangzhou, so I came here to do some business. I have been here for almost half a year."

Half a year ago, no one knew that Shen Jing had made the list, and of course no one had the idea of ​​framing him.

"So, but why did you come here?"

Uncle Wang sighed, "I am here to testify for Master Shen. He is an upright gentleman. How could he be framed and slandered like this?"

"Framed? He killed his parents and brothers, how can that be considered a frame-up?"

Chen Wei's eyes were red with anger: "I really thought he was a gentleman and would protect me, but I didn't expect him to be just a hypocrite who was pretending to be a gentleman."

"He killed your parents? You are totally wrong. Someone else did it!"

Hearing this, Chen Wei said, "Impossible, I just heard him taking people to kill him."

"Did you see him in person?"

Chen Wei was stunned and began to think: "No...it shouldn't be like that. I heard the servants calling him Master Shen, and there was also a person whose voice sounded very familiar. It was the servant next to Shen Jingyi."

"You've been deceived. There are so many young masters in the Shen family. That servant has also been bribed. You've been deceived!"

The situation has changed dramatically.

Chen Wei couldn't believe it at all and kept shaking her head.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

She had hated Shen Jing for too long. When she was found by Shen An, she thought she was going to die. She didn't expect that the other party just wanted to use her.

At that time, she immediately agreed in order to get revenge at any cost.

Tell her now, did you hate the wrong person?

"Your Majesty, there is a servant named Wuming beside Master Shen. You can ask him to come over for questioning."

The man was still dazed when he was brought here, and his legs went weak with fear when he saw this scene.

"Wuming, have you ever helped others kill Chen Wei's parents? Confess the truth, otherwise... you will surely die today!"

This guy is very timid. He did that thing because he was possessed by the devil.

Fortunately, Shen Jing didn't notice it, so he pretended nothing happened.

Now that the truth has been exposed, he is spilling the beans.

"I killed him together with Shen An. He was jealous of the young master's good grades and the fact that he was the eldest son of the master's family since Huangzhou, so he did everything he could to make trouble for him."

But Shen An was in a hurry and never dealt with Shen Jing openly.

These things were done in secret, and he certainly didn't expect that the people around him would actually hurt him.

"At that time, Shen An said that since he couldn't kill Chen Wei, he would kill someone else to vent his anger. I just took his money and helped him monitor the young master. I really didn't kill anyone!"

Wuming knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, kowtowed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Nangong Jin smiled and said, "It seems that the truth of the matter is about to come out. Your Majesty might as well summon Shen An and Shen Jing to confront them face to face."

"Xuan."

The emperor was made extremely serious by this series of events.

Seeing this, he immediately called two people over.

"Kill him before he's exposed."

On the way to Shen Anlai, he was assassinated by a group of people.

But it happened that Xiao Heyun and his men passed by and rescued the man.

"Father, I heard that this person is the one you are looking for?"

When the emperor saw him coming just now, he was not angry, but asked: "How did you bring this person here?"

"On the way, I met someone who wanted to kill him. I was a little confused, so I rescued him. I found out after asking."

"How dare they kill someone in front of me? These people are so arrogant!"

The emperor was furious and looked grim.

"Shen An, why don't you tell the truth!"

The man looked hesitant, not knowing what to say.

"Think it over. Tell it out. At least there's a glimmer of hope. If you continue to work for the person behind the scenes, they will just kill you after they've used you!"

Xiao Heyun spoke calmly, his expression showing an inexplicable sense of control.

Shen An knew that he was telling the truth, and if he kept hiding it, he would be killed by them.

"I said!"

He knelt on the ground and explained the whole thing from beginning to end.

It turns out what Uncle Wang said was true.

Shen An killed people in revenge against Shen Jingyi, but Chen Wei thought it was Shen Jingyi who did it, so she hid in Shen's house and planned to take revenge.

Later, the person behind the scenes found them.
