Chapter 411 Jiang Xun’s Threat
Shen Nanzhi didn't think there was anything crazy about this matter. Who hasn't met a few scumbags in their life?
But she underestimated Cheng Wenjing's ability to bear it. The daughter of a marquis's mansion, she had learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, with a housekeeper taking care of the inner house affairs. At most, she learned some conspiracies and calculations to deal with concubines, but no one dared to teach her how to get along with men.
These big families regard men as a scourge and are afraid that if they are contaminated by something, their reputation will be ruined and they will not be able to get married.
This also led to Cheng Wenjing's imagination of love being full of beautiful things, and she never knew that men could be so terrible.
The most impulsive and rebellious thing she had ever done in her life was to elope with Jiang Chen. Her mind was full of Jiang Chen's good points, but it turned out that the man she fell in love with was worse than an animal. How could she tolerate this?
Coupled with the destruction of his family, Cheng Wenjing went crazy.
"This……"
Shen Nanzhi was a little confused, "What is this? Are you really crazy?"
The subordinate checked it out and was a little unsure: "I can't understand it either, why not ask an imperial physician to come?"
"Forget it. There are so many people in the Cheng family. We can interrogate her alone. She is a lady from the inner house. I'm sure she doesn't know the core secrets of the family.
How do you usually handle this situation?"
If the Cheng family were convicted, these women would definitely be sold to the Jiaofangsi and become slaves, and would never be able to escape.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to be a prostitute, but serving high-ranking officials and dignitaries, you have to be obedient no matter how you are asked to serve you, which is almost the same as a prostitute.
The subordinate said: "If she is crazy, she can only be sent to an orphanage. If someone is willing to redeem her, they can sell her for a little money. The court is not willing to support her."
"Send him back to jail first, and wait until the Cheng family is finally convicted."
"Yes, Master Si, you don't have to worry about it. We didn't drive her crazy. She brought this upon herself. Why didn't she think about the consequences when she eloped with someone?"
The subordinates all looked down on the woman who eloped with someone, saying that she was willing to lower herself to low status. It was all in vain that her parents had raised her for so many years.
Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "You can't say that. Girls always think they will meet true love, and they become irrational when they get excited. Be more tolerant.
People in the world always criticize women in many ways. The more they are suppressed, the more they will resist. She is just pursuing a beautiful and sweet love, and it is not an unforgivable crime.
But the bastard Jiang Chen was the most despicable. He seduced decent women and had no bottom line. It would be a relief for him if he died.
Pass the order down, all nine members of the Jiang family will be exiled. Keeping such a sinful family alive will only bring disaster."
Shen Nanzhi thought of the torture the original owner had suffered in the Jiang family. They were truly a family of evil people, with not a single kind one.
Exile now is also a retribution for them.
"Okay, I will order an investigation of his nine clans."
"Well, don't let any of them go."
As for whether Village Chief Jiang was among his nine clans, Shen Nanzhi had also considered it. Village Chief Jiang had already expelled the person from the village, and this investigation would not implicate the villagers.
Although the villagers are xenophobic, their crimes do not deserve the death penalty. Shen Nanzhi is not that cruel. If he really settles accounts with them, the entire village will have to be exiled.
Therefore, the nine clans that were exiled would only include Jiang Chen's parents, brother, nephews and nieces, and the involvement would not be too serious.
Cheng Wenjing, who was squatting on the ground with a silly smile on his face, had a gloomy look in his eyes, and finally he lowered his head and said nothing.
Whether she was pretending or was really crazy, Shen Nanzhi didn't care. She was not innocent to begin with. She had enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Cheng family. When the snow collapsed, she was one of them and she should pay the price.
They had her taken away and continued to interrogate other members of the Cheng family. Seeing that they had no chance of survival, everyone wanted to push the blame onto Cheng Wenhui and produced a lot of evidence, reaping a rich harvest.
This job cannot be completed in a day or two. Interrogating prisoners is very demanding on both physical and mental strength. It is very tiring to battle wits and courage with these people. I have to take it slow.
After two days of interrogation, the officer came to report: "Sir, one of Lord Cheng's illegitimate sons is clamoring to see the princess, saying that he has a close relationship with the princess. Do you think we should notify the regent princess?"
"Oh, Lord Cheng's bastard? What connection does he have with the princess? Bring him here so I can ask him how old he is?"
"He's ten years old. He's a bastard. He was just recognized. He's probably not an important person."
Shen Nanzhi seemed to be thinking about something, and when he brought the person up, he was immediately surprised. It turned out to be Jiang Xun, the eldest son adopted by the original owner.
"You want to see the Princess Regent? What makes you think the Princess will see you?"
Jiang Xun is going crazy these days. Why is this happening?
In his previous life, the Cheng family prospered for fifty years before going downhill. By that time, he had already taken away half of the Cheng family's assets, set up his own business, and avoided the Cheng family's liquidation.
When he died, he died of old age and had many children and grandchildren. Why is it like this in this life?
It had only been half a year since he returned to his ancestral home when the Cheng family fell, and he was implicated as well. He was only ten years old and didn't want to die with the Cheng family.
"Just tell the princess that I'm Jiang Xun. For the sake of our past relationship, please ask her to save me once. I will keep her secret in my heart forever."
Shen Nanzhi's heart, which had originally had a glimmer of hope, instantly sank. It turned out that it was not a plea for mercy, but a threat!
As expected, some people are born evil. No matter how hard they try to warm themselves up, they can't be warmed up. They don't deserve to live. He has ended up like this because he was too clever.
"What leverage do you have over the princess? If you don't tell me, how can I report it to the princess?"
Jiang Xun also knew that he couldn't see Shen Nanzhi whenever he wanted at this moment. Ever since he knew that she became the Regent Princess, Jiang Xun had been feeling indescribable emotions. Did he regret it?
No, I'm just jealous that such good luck doesn't belong to me. Even my adoptive mother has divorced me, but I can still become a princess?
What kind of world is this? Shouldn't he have a different and more wonderful life after his rebirth?
"Before she married the Regent, she had been married and had a child. She was a broken woman, ugly and vulgar. If the Regent knew her past, would he still be willing to marry her?
I don't ask for anything else, just ask her to rescue me, and I will repay her well."
Shen Nanzhi laughed angrily: "How can I repay you? Jiang Xun, your adoptive mother has been very kind to you, right? You still don't have a trace of regret until today. I really don't understand, how can such a young child be so vicious?"
"I am vicious, but I cannot live without doing this. My Lord, just help me report it. The Regent will be grateful to me. I will let him know the true colors of the people around him."
Shen Nanzhi knocked on the table and looked at him with a half-smile, "Why do you think the Regent doesn't know? You underestimate the Regent. Your threat is not valid at all. Let's change someone else."
"The Regent knows? How is that possible?"
Every man cares about his reputation and will not marry a divorced woman, not to mention that Shen used to be dark, fat, stupid, and like a wild boar spirit. Does the Regent have such a big appetite?
