Chapter 18 Ink punishment, tattooing on the face
"Master Han, Mrs. Xie went back to Xie's house to visit relatives a few days ago, and brought back some items, which belonged to the young masters and ladies in the mansion.
This is yours, Master Han. "
Shen Han frowned slightly, already a little more vigilant in his heart.
"These, are you sure the second lady gave them to me?"
"This is natural, every young master and lady in the mansion has it.
Second Madam said, this is a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for young masters and ladies, please accept it, Young Master Han. "
The Shen residence does have the habit of giving gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But over the years, only Mrs. Yun would give herself gifts.
Why would the second lady give herself a gift?
"Since the gift has been delivered, it is inconvenient for the villain to disturb Master Han's rest. Master Han is well."
After the servant finished speaking, he walked away in small steps.
Everything feels okay, but everything feels wrong.
Shen Han looked at the gift in front of him, and opened the box, and found some bracelets and jade objects inside. Judging by the workmanship of these objects, they are absolutely extraordinary.
The value of each piece is probably more than one hundred taels of silver.
How could the second lady give such a high-value item to herself.
Is this Erfang's game against herself?
Put the gift away in his room, this is against him, Shen Han has already vaguely guessed what it is.
He pondered for a moment how to deal with it in his mind.
If you use those nasty methods against yourself, then don't blame yourself for fighting back.
At night, the Shen residence began to become lively.
seems to be looking for something, and even invited the government officials to come quickly.
The Shen family is the family of the generals in Yun'an City. For the case of the Shen family, the arresters will naturally do their best.
Shen Han lives on the east side of the Shen Mansion, some distance away from the center of the Shen Mansion.
Hearing the excitement of the night, Shen Han guessed that this event finally came.
The sky is slightly bright.
Shen Han had just woken up when a team of policemen came to his remote courtyard.
"We are the police officers of the government office. We are ordered to search, and we also ask the fifth young master of the Shen family to cooperate."
"Did something important happen? They actually searched the Shen family's courtyard."
Shen Han pretended to be a little surprised, but he had already guessed vaguely.
It seems that the method of this lowly operation is to prepare to frame himself.
Not long after entering the house, the police came out with the box of gifts.
Just as I thought, the so-called gift from the second lady has become stolen goods.
"Fifth Young Master of Shen's family, please take a walk with us."
Several policemen still spoke politely to Shen Han.
In their view, this Shen Han took his own things and let the Shen family deal with them according to the family law.
The final trial of the case will not fall above the government office.
Shen Han followed several police officers all the way to the Shen Family Ancestral Hall, which was already full of people.
In the high positions, the people sitting upright are Mrs. He and Mrs. Xie.
The old lady of the Shen family seems to be still resting and has not yet arrived.
"Ma'am, this is your lost jade jewelry, please take it away."
The police quickly handed the gift box to Mrs. He, the big house. Mrs. He seemed not interested in the lost things.
Just looked at Shen Han and asked indifferently.
"Who stole my jewelry? Where did I find it?"
Madam He looked at the policeman in front of her, but her peripheral vision kept falling on Shen Han behind her.
"Ma'am, it may be hard to say."
The policeman didn't want to get involved in this family affairs, he hesitated.
"Is there anything hard to say, the crime of theft, is it possible that you, the arrester, still have to cover up?"
This hat is too high for myself.
"The thing was found in the yard of the Fifth Young Master"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Han.
No wonder, no wonder it couldn't be found, it was stolen by the young master of Fuzhong! "
Madam He stared at Shen Han with a stern look on her face.
"Second ladies, this is a family matter of the Shen family, so we policemen don't get involved.
The Shen family is the family of a general, so there are naturally family laws to deal with it. "
After finishing speaking, several police officers wanted to slip away.
But it's not that easy, calling them here, Mrs. He just wanted to make this matter a big deal.
"Wait a minute, since this matter has been accepted by the government office today, it should naturally be heard by the magistrate.
Our Shen family is the family of generals, so we will not tolerate this kind of theft.
If we don't treat it strictly this time, I'm afraid our Shen family's family style will get worse! "
The arresters finally understood what Mrs. He meant, and it seemed that she wanted the government to handle the case.
Make this matter public and not resolve it within the Shen family!
"Ma'am, this"
"Business!"
Under the strong request of Mrs. He, the big house, the case was moved to the government office for trial.
Many people heard about this and came to the government office to watch.
The fifth young master of the Shen family stole his own belongings and was sent to the government office, which seemed very interesting.
Soon, the gate of the government office was full of people.
On the high hall, Xu Zhifu sits under the mirror.
A case of stealing something from home caused the government to make a decision. There must be an unspeakable reason behind it.
When Xu Zhifu learned that it was the Shen family's matter, he had already guessed the reason in his heart.
"Mrs. He, you are the first to report this matter, and there are some things I need to explain to you.
If this case is tried by the prefect, then the theft case will be strictly punished according to the laws of the Wei Dynasty.
Punishment for the children of the Shen family may damage the dignity of the Shen family. "
Madam He answered before Zhifu Xu finished speaking.
"I implore the prefect Xu to strictly examine the case and deal with it strictly.
My Shen family is a general waiting family, and the children in the family should set an example in conduct.
Those who commit meddling things like stealing must be strictly punished, so as to correct the family style of the Shen family! "
Xu Zhifu nodded, secretly thinking that the Shen family is also cruel.
Because of this divorce, he even charged his junior with theft, which is really cruel.
The crime of stealing should be sentenced to ink punishment according to the law of Wei Dynasty.
That is to tattoo on the face, tattooing the word "robber".
If Mo Xing was imposed, what suspense would there be about Shen Han's marriage contract with Na Su Jinyu?
"Mrs. He, Catcher Liu told me just now that the box of jewelry was found in the room of Shen Han, the fifth young master of the Shen family.
There is physical evidence, is there any witness? "
Prefect Xu asked routinely, and the lady had already prepared.
The second wife, Mrs. Xie, walked in and stood in the courtroom.
"To tell you the truth, Madam Xu actually witnessed this theft, but she thought it was her own family, so she couldn't bear to say it.
Now it seems that for the Shen family's family style, this must be the case. "
Erfang Xie’s wife is also very eloquent, and she describes what she sees to everyone, with a strong sense of picture.
This framing was well prepared.
Prefect Xu had not yet proceeded to the trial, when Mrs. Yun rushed in panting heavily.
"Master Zhifu, First Lady, Second Lady, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter.
How could this child, Shen Han, be able to steal? He has lived in misery all year round. If he really did steal, would he still be in such a poor life? "
Mrs. Yun helped Shen Han to speak, but just after finishing a sentence, she was immediately reprimanded.
"It is precisely because he is living in misery and wants to be rich that he steals. Is there any problem?"
Only the person who wronged you will know how wronged you are.
Mrs. Yun really didn't know what to say except to defend Shen Han.
After thinking for a moment, she thought of the old lady.
If Shen Han is convicted of theft, the entire Shen family will be ashamed.
Immediately, he found a servant and asked him to go to the Shen residence to pass on the message.
