Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Miao rolled her eyes and said something veiled: "If it weren't for the fear of hindering the future of Yuan Peng and Yuan Hao, who would care about that bastard?"

Shen Congli immediately rebuked Miao with displeasure: "Yuanzhan is my son after all. If something happens to him, I can't just ignore it."

Shen Lanxi looked around and asked, "Why can't I see my father?"

The whole room was silent.

Old Madam Shen said awkwardly: "Your father is in the court and hasn't come back yet." She knew that it would be useless even if she called her eldest son back.

The people in the other rooms had also noticed it long ago.

"Lan Xi, the girls in your family are getting married, and your brothers are going to take the imperial examinations. We can't let something like this happen at this critical juncture!" Old Madam Shen said earnestly.

Shen Lanxi: "Shouldn't he be studying at this time? Why is he out drinking and having fun?"

Shen Congli explained in a low voice: "It's not drinking wine, but having a few drinks with the students in the restaurant."

Shen Lanxi asked expressionlessly, "Who told him to go out? I remember my father said that students are not allowed to go out during the day."

Shen Congli was a little flustered: "Lan Xi, now is not the time to worry about this, let's find a way to rescue Yuan Zhan first. Dali Temple is not a good place to stay."

Shen Lanxi's face turned cold: "He doesn't want to take the road to the blue sky, but insists on breaking through the gate of hell. He is asking for trouble and he will not live!"

When Shen Congli heard her say this, he was immediately frightened. Just as he was about to continue pleading, he heard the servant come in with a panic report.

"Madam, Master, it's bad. That woman has committed suicide by hitting her head against a pillar in the courtroom!"

Shen Lanxi sneered silently.

Shen Congli originally wanted to make a big thing small, a small thing nothing, and resolve the matter with money.

I didn't expect that woman would actually hit her head against the pillar in the Dali Temple. This is a serious matter.

"Lan Xi, you must find a way to save Yuan Zhan!" Shen Congli now regretted listening to his concubine's instigation.

Shen Lanxi knew that this matter was not over yet, so she said calmly: "Wait!"

What are you waiting for?

Everyone in the Shen family looked at each other.

After a while, the Dali Temple came to call for help.

When the Shen family rushed to the Dali Temple, many students and common people were already waiting outside, shouting for severe punishment for the murderer and that Shen Lanxi was not worthy of being the chief examiner of all the students in the world.

The Shen family seemed to understand what Shen Lanxi had just said.

Wasn't it just that he molested a commoner girl while drunk? How did it rise to the level of the imperial court?

The Shen family members, who had some confidence at the beginning, were now all frightened.

Why is it that every time something goes wrong, it feels like exile is not far away?

"Master Shen..."

"Master Wei..."

After the officials exchanged greetings, Wei Jie took the lead in speaking about the seriousness of the matter.

"If it happened in someone else's family, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it happened in the examiner's family, this is a difficult matter to deal with!"

Shen Lanxi nodded and thanked Wei Jie for the reminder.

"Grandma, Lord Wei told me that this matter is difficult to handle!"

Old Madam Shen was already nervous, and now she was even more at a loss. She held Shen Lanxi's hand and kept asking for advice.

"Lan Xi, what should we do?"

Shen Lanxi: "This matter is too big, I can't make the decision alone, I have to wait until my father comes to discuss it."

Shen Congwen can't come because he has been reported.

The news that Shen Yuanzhan molested a commoner girl, causing her to fall against a pillar and die due to the humiliation, was immediately delivered to Emperor Renxiao's desk.

Immediately afterwards, all the literati in the court attacked the Shen family.

Those sharp tongues stabbed Shen Congwen like swords.

"Your Majesty, Shen Congwen is the head of the Shen family, but he is not good at teaching his nephew."

"The Shen family relied on Shen Lanxi's position as the chief examiner to form a clique for personal gain and do whatever they want!"

"The Shen family bullies men and women, they are unworthy of being court officials!"

"You must punish them severely, otherwise I will kneel here forever..."

Emperor Renxiao acted in a difficult position, frowned, looked at Shen Congwen reproachfully, and even picked up the memorial and threw it at Shen Congwen.

"Shen Congwen, you can't even manage your own family, how can you manage the Ministry of Revenue?"

Shen Congwen had already turned pale, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled non-stop. What he regretted most at this moment was why his body was so good that he couldn't faint.

Emperor Renxiao calmed the hearts of the civil officials with a scolding. After having Shen Congwen carried to the Dali Temple, he mentioned the old Grand Tutor in the court.

"Your Majesty, the old Grand Tutor has devoted himself to the imperial examinations and has fainted from exhaustion twice."

Emperor Renxiao immediately sent imperial physicians to reward the emperor with precious medicinal materials and supplements.

The civil officials became active again. If the Shen family failed to handle the situation well this time, the position of chief examiner would have to be replaced.

……

Shen Congwen was carried to the Dali Temple by the Imperial Guards. The emperor's attitude was self-evident.

"Father, what should we do about Yuan Zhan's matter?"

Shen Congwen felt a chill in his bones and couldn't get up.

"Lan Xi, you decide!"

As long as it was done by his daughter, His Majesty would not say anything even if he was not satisfied.

"Father, if I were to deal with it, you would definitely not be satisfied with the result."

Shen Congwen no longer cared about anything else. Looking exhausted both physically and mentally, he closed his eyes and waved his hands, leaving it to Shen Lanxi to do whatever she wanted.

When Wei Jie saw Shen Lanxi coming over, he knew that the matter had been discussed.

"Master Shen, you need to give an explanation to all the students in the world about this matter!"

Shen Lanxi's eyes were cold: "Shen Yuanzhan was at fault in this matter, but the woman was not killed by Shen Yuanzhan himself. Do you have any objection to this?"

Everyone in the room shook their heads, with no objection.

They also saw the woman hitting the pillar. Shen Yuanzhan did not take any radical actions, nor did he threaten to retaliate.

"Although the woman was not killed by Shen Yuanzhan himself, she was killed indirectly. Do you have any objections?"

Once again, the whole room agreed.

"The Shen family didn't educate their children strictly, which led to their son doing evil things. Will the Shen family recognize it?"

Old Madam Shen looked at her eldest son with a bitter face. Her eldest son had his eyes closed. She didn't know whether he was awake or fainted.

He turned to look at his third son, who was at a loss and trembling with fear.

Your Majesty knows all about it. Anyone who dares to ask for leniency will not only not be given a light sentence, but will be severely punished!

Shen Lanxi raised her voice, "If anyone dares to tease a woman in the Zhenbei Army, how should they be dealt with?"

Che Mingyuan also said loudly: "Castration can be carried out by the woman herself!"

Shen Lanxi nodded with satisfaction.

The Shen family was terrified, and the rest of the people were shocked.

Why was it castration?

"Lan Xi, no, castration will be more painful than killing him!" Shen Congli screamed in fear.

Shen Lanxi turned and looked at Wei Jie.

The latter slammed the gavel and said majestically: "Lord Shen is talking about the military law of the Zhenbei Army. Shen Yuanzhan is not a member of the Zhenbei Army, so the sentencing must be based on the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice!"

After hearing this, Shen Congli burst into tears and knelt on the ground.

"Sir, I ask for a verdict from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, not a verdict from the Zhenbei Army. My son is not a Zhenbei Army soldier, he is just a civilian."

Wei Jie looked at the crying Shen Congli, then at Shen Lanxi who remained calm: "He who molested a woman and caused her to commit suicide out of shame and anger should be sentenced to exile and be severely beaten with thirty sticks!"
