My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 11 I heard that this is going to be beheading.

The token in the man's hand was one that Shen Yuan had just ordered his servant to take off - the waist token of the Marquis Wenxin's Mansion.

The servants of the Qin family who are traveling outside each other have one person, in order to reveal their identities and avoid conflicts when encountering trouble.

This is the consensus of the respectable people in Shengjing, so that one day a flood will not wash away the Dragon King Temple.

Based on the suspicious behavior of the man just now, Shen Yuan reasonably suspected that today's porcelain encounter was a game specifically targeted at Qin Minzhen.

She turned to her sister-in-law and asked, "When you had conflicts with the other party before, could you reveal your identity?"

Qin Minzhen was just innocent by nature and not stupid. At this moment, he also noticed something was wrong and said aggrievedly with a wrinkled face.

"Before we had time to reveal our identity, we were suddenly surrounded by the people around us. Each of them said something to us, leaving us speechless and without any room to reply."

Shen Yuan squinted her eyes, and things became clearer.

This was obviously someone deliberately "blocking" the family and not wanting the Qin family to report their status.

But what is the other party’s purpose?
He lowered his head and looked at the person sitting on the ground. He was lost in thought, his head drooped, and the arrogance he had before was completely gone.

She suddenly had a guess in her mind.

She smiled and said to the man: "It seems that you didn't know our identities before. It seems that the person who asked you to do things secretly concealed it intentionally. Otherwise, I don't think you have the courage to blackmail Wen Xinhou and He." Princess Tai’s biological daughter.”

When the middle-aged man heard Qin Min's real identity, his pupils opened slightly and his body couldn't help but tremble.

But he was even more afraid of the woman in front of him who seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. In just a few words, she guessed the truth quite closely, which was really shocking.

But now that the matter has come to this, he can only grit his teeth and deny it, otherwise he will not be able to bear the anger of the Qin family.

"I don't know who you are, and no one instigated me. The fact is that Miss Qin broke my things and deserves compensation. But if you insist on bullying others, not only refuse to pay compensation, but also slap and slander others, then I I can only admit that I am unlucky. Who said that I am just a commoner and cannot compete with you nobles and nobles?"

The man spoke harshly and even intended to use class antagonisms to stir up public anger.

Shen Yuan raised the banknote in his hand and said contemptuously: "We have 5000 taels, but our Qin family will not be taken advantage of. Since you feel that you have been wronged, let's meet at Jingzhao Yamen. Right and wrong have their own yamen. Arbitrary."

"I won't go, I won't go to the Yamen. The Yamen and you powerful people are all officials protecting each other. If I enter the Yamen, I will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth. If you collude with each other and defeat me, then how can I survive?"

The middle-aged man turned pale with fright, shouted at the top of his lungs, and kept asking passers-by for help.

Shen Yuan pretended to be surprised and said helplessly:

"Why can't you go? I went to the Yamen and asked some experts to inspect the goods on site in front of Mr. Jingzhao. If your things are indeed worth 5000 taels, our Qin family will still compensate you. But if it turns out that what you said is false, it is actually intentional. If you falsely accuse County Master Zhaochun, you will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the court's laws. If you are worried that our Qin family will collude with the government and it will be detrimental to you, then that is easy to handle."

She turned around and bowed slightly to the crowd of onlookers, "Can you please follow us to the Yamen to bear witness, so that this elder brother can rest assured."

Some people in the crowd laughed loudly, and some others agreed with Shen Yuan's statement, which made the middle-aged man break into a cold sweat.

Seeing that the other party was in a state of confusion, Shen Yuan suddenly gave him a dose of strong medicine.

"By the way, do you know what the crime should be for the common people to slander and frame the fifth-grade county lord whom the imperial court has professed?"

She smiled and said warmly: "That is a serious crime of beheading. It might even affect your family."

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff. He kowtowed to Shen Yuan and Qin Minzhen with a "bang bang bang" sound. He kowtowed hard and hard, and his forehead soon turned red.

"Auntie, you have a lot of money, please spare the little man. Someone gave the little man 100 taels of silver and asked me to wait here at the right time today, so I deliberately bumped into the noble man."

The other party cried till she had snot and tears, "I really didn't know that she was the Princess of Zhaochun County, otherwise I wouldn't have dared even if I had a hundred courages..."

There was an uproar all around. It turns out that Miss Qin Si was being plotted against.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince's wife showed up in time, otherwise she would have spent her wealth to avoid disaster today, or her reputation would have been ruined.

Shen Yuan asked coldly: "Then how did you confirm that the Lord of Chunyang County is the person you are looking for?"

"In advance, the man told the county lord the clothes and jewelry he was wearing today, and also showed the villain the portraits of the two maids beside the county lord, to ensure that he would not identify the wrong person."

The middle-aged man just wanted to survive, so he naturally had something to say.

Shen Yuan looked ugly. The only person who could find out Qin Minzhen's personal travel information in such detail was the people around him. He was afraid that there was a thief in the house.

Qin Minzhen was obviously aware of this problem, and his pretty face was gloomy.Although she had no hope, Shen Yuan still asked: "Do you remember that person's appearance or physical signs, or do you have any tokens of that person?"

The middle-aged man fell to the ground slumped, with a look of despair on his face, "That man came to the villain's house in the middle of the night. He was wrapped up tightly, only his eyes were exposed. After explaining the matter, he left the money and left. The villain really doesn't know who he is."

"Besides letting you touch County Master Ci Zhaochun, does that person have any other explanation?"

The man shook his head: "It's just this, nothing else."

Shen Yuan knew that there was nothing else he could do by asking, so he gave a look to the servants behind him and asked them to hold the middle-aged man down and twist him and send him to Jingzhao Yamen.

"My aunt, please spare my life. I really told you everything. Please spare my life."

The middle-aged man howled miserably, as if he was killing a pig.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but take two steps back, "Originally, you deserved to be beheaded, but since you confessed and were deceived, I, the Qin family, are willing to be lenient to you. It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be avoided. Rao, after you report the truth to Lord Ming Jingzhao, it will have nothing to do with my Qin family as to how he will judge you. I hope you will sincerely change your mind in prison in the future and change your mind and start a new life."

The middle-aged man was stunned at first, then overjoyed. He struggled to break away from the restraints of several servants, "bang bang bang" and then knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Yuan and others several times, expressing his gratitude again and again.

"Thank you, Madam Prince, and County Lord Zhaochun for sparing your life. I will definitely change my mind and stop committing crimes."

Shen Yuan nodded lightly, and the man followed the servant of the Qin Mansion obediently with an expression of escaping from death.

"The Crown Prince's wife is of high righteousness."

"Yes, yes, the Qin family still behaves according to rules and principles."

……

The people watching around were whispering to each other, and almost all of them had compliments about Shen Yuan and the Qin family.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly after hearing this. This was exactly why she sent the man to the Yamen to commit suicide but spared his life.

If the punishment is too harsh, it will inevitably make people think that the Qin family is too cruel and domineering and unkind; if it is handled lightly, it will make people look down on the Qin family and think that they are too weak and easy to bully.

In this way, public opinion will only turn towards the Qin family, and it will also downplay Qin Minzhen's role in the matter and protect his reputation.

Once the excitement was over, the crowd naturally dispersed.

At this time, Shen Yuan had time to turn his attention to the young man in white.

The other person was about eighteen or nineteen years old, quite handsome, and judging by his clothing and demeanor, he must not be an ordinary person.

Judging from his actions, he seemed to be leaving.

Qin Minzhen tugged on her sleeves, blushed and whispered: "Sister-in-law, thanks to that young master for helping me just now."

Shen Yuan nodded to indicate that she understood, and smiled warmly at the man in white.

"Master, please stay here. Thank you very much for speaking up."

The man in white nodded and smiled lightly, "It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."

"I don't know where the young master lives. I'll come to the Qin family later to say thank you."

"I won't accept it for no merit. I haven't done anything to help County Master Zhaochun. Everything is done by the Crown Prince's wife with clear eyesight. Xiaosheng cannot and dare not accept the courtesy."

The man in white took two steps back and bowed his hands in a farewell salute.

"I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave for now."

"In that case, our sister-in-law will not disturb you. Master, please go slowly."

Shen Yuan smiled like a spring breeze and her attitude was extremely friendly.

After watching the man leave, he gave Mo Zhu a hint backhand, asking her to pay attention to the appearance and characteristics of these masters and servants. After returning home, she must have someone check out each other's details.

Don't blame her for being suspicious and not recognizing good people.

But all the people who came here to watch today are suspects. This man in white is just particularly eye-catching. There is no other reason to check, just for peace of mind.
