My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 32 A lot of doubts

Chapter 32 A lot of doubts
"Then I won't bother you any more."

Seeing Zeng Anmin concentrating on the file, Xu Yunfeng had a strange smile on his face.
He gently stroked the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, then said goodbye and left.

……

Zeng Anmin looked at Xu Yunfeng's back thoughtfully.

My father arranged for me to be the left clerk in Xuan Jing Xi, which was definitely not an idle move.

"Jin Taiping, Shen family..."

Zeng Anmin glanced at the file calmly, and understood something in his mind.

This case is inextricably linked to Prince Jiang’s Mansion!
It is very likely that some unspeakable secrets of Prince Jiang’s Mansion are hidden in it!

What secret could it be?

Zeng Anmin became interested.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at the file in his hand, his eyes flashing with thought, without saying a word.

The details of the entire case are all on file.

"The current head of the Shen family is named Shen Liu. He was about 41 years old and died of tuberculosis fifteen days before the incident."

The files record Shen Liu in great detail. He was brave and aggressive when he was young, but later he became more honest after taking over the family business. He traveled far and wide with the family fleet and made a name for himself.

The key points of the case are:
The entire Shen family was holding a funeral for Shen Liu.

Shen Liu's widow, Shen, was killed while mourning for him in front of the hall.

"At 1:00 pm, the drunken follower, Mr. Shen, entered the hall to mourn with his uncle. At 3:00 pm, he hurried out."

"Congzi" means nephew.

"At 1:00 a.m., a servant entered the hall and found that Shen Liu, the deceased, had died of suffocation. There were finger marks on her neck and she was holding Shen Congjun's jade pendant."

"The red-clothed officer of the Xuanjing Division was captured by his son Shen Jun at the Jiaofang Division at 7:00 p.m. the next day."

"After three days in prison, Mr. Shen firmly denied the murder of his aunt, so the case was delayed."

At first glance, this is a clear and concise file.

It not only records in detail the circumstances of Shen Liu's death, but also lists each person's confession very clearly.

But in Zeng Anmin's view, every word cannot withstand careful scrutiny.

He raised his head, looked out the window, and murmured:
"What was Mr. Shen's motive for killing my aunt?!"

This is a very important issue.

Everything in the entire file was clearly recorded, except for the motive for the crime.

Moreover, besides this, there is another extremely important issue.

After killing his aunt, the first thing Mr. Shen thought of was not to escape, but to go to the Music Bureau?

What? Is it popular to go to whorehouse after killing someone?

Nonsense.

Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Shen family shipping merchants occupied a very important economic position in Liangjiang County.

After Shen Liu's death, Shen Jun became the only heir to the Jin Taiping shipping company.

If this case is not handled well...

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head, his eyes deep and gloomy.

Then I'm afraid there are a lot of things involved.

However, Zeng Anmin looked at the file with densely written small characters and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He already knew how to solve the case.

……

In prison.

Zeng Anmin looked at the "prisoner" in front of him with a pale face, lying in the haystack, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, with a gloomy face.

The man was wearing a pitch-black prison uniform and exuded a strong stench.

Lying motionless on the haystack.

Only the slight rise and fall of his chest indicated that he was not dead.

This person is Shen Jun.

It can be seen that he was tortured a lot.

Entering the Xuan Jingsi Prison is equivalent to losing half your life, and this is absolutely not an empty statement.

Zeng Anmin just glanced at the yamen runner beside him.

Although he is young, he is full of righteousness and his every move is quite majestic.

"Let him out!"

"Yes."

The two men in red clothes opened the prison door very respectfully and pulled the young man up from the ground as if he were throwing away a dead body.

"Oh!"

The young man was thrown to the ground, and his body was lifted up by inertia, his whole body limp.

Only then did Zeng Anmin see his face clearly. His eyes were lifeless, his body was bloodshot, and his face was numb.

"Mr. Shen!"

Zeng Anmin lowered his head and said to him calmly:
"I am the new left clerk. I intend to re-examine the case of you killing your aunt. You must confess the truth without showing any favoritism!"

His voice was full of energy, and he sounded like a great lord.

Hearing his words, Shen Jun on the ground paused for a moment, then turned his head with difficulty to look at Zeng Anmin standing beside him.

Zeng Anmin looked calm as he looked into his eyes.

He saw very complicated emotions in Shen Jun's eyes.

Numb, tough, stubborn...

"I have said everything I need to say. I have behaved uprightly and I did not kill Aunt."

I don't know how many times Shen Jun has said this.

But every official who came to investigate him would routinely use torture instruments on him again.

He has long been accustomed to it.

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin sat expressionlessly on the chair brought to him by the official, gently turning the jade ring on his thumb that he had received from his father. After a long moment, he asked in a deep voice:
"What I want to ask is, was your aunt the only one in the mourning hall that night?"

When Shen Jun heard this, his heart sank and his face was full of bitterness.

Every official who came to ask questions asked this question first.

"Yes."

Shen Jun answered fluently.

"What happened in the mourning hall?"

"How did your jade pendant fall into her hands?"

Zeng Anmin only read the file once and did not have a thorough understanding of the case. Now he wanted to get some more information from Shen Jun.

Of course, as a suspect, we cannot trust everything Shen Jun says.

"I……"

Shen Jun pursed his lips and said, "My uncle had no children, so he treated me like his own since I was young. I have a deep relationship with him. I was in pain for a long time when I heard the news of his death. That day, I hid in the house and drank some wine alone."

At this point, his expression became extremely complicated:
"After entering the mourning hall, my aunt..."

"She actually took advantage of my drunkenness to seduce me and did that shameful thing in the mourning hall!!"

Zeng Anmin could hear the strong hatred in Shen Jun's tone.

This... there is such an explosive thing in the world? ?
That was in the mourning hall!
The island nation’s industry has developed so advanced, yet this type of subject matter has never appeared before!
If there is a hope to travel back, would it be me...

Ahem, I’m off topic!

Zeng Anmin continued to look at Shen Jun with a serious face.

"My uncle has always treated her very well. Who would have thought that she... my uncle's coffin is still there!!"

Whenever Shen Jun thought of this, his face turned red with anger:

"I left in anger. Maybe I left too hastily, and she grabbed the jade pendant in her hand... After leaving the mourning hall, I went to the Jiaofang Division..."

Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched slightly.

This guy is a man.

But from the tone of this guy's voice, it sounded like his aunt seduced him in the mourning hall, and then he was so angry that he strangled his aunt to death...

No wonder there is so much blood on your body, who wouldn’t suspect you?

But luckily you met me.

"In other words, your aunt died after you left?"

"Ah."

When Shen Jun saw Zeng Anmin's smile, he felt a little uneasy.

"it is good."

Zeng Anmin slowly stood up, looked at him, and smiled playfully:

"Then I want to ask you, after you came out of the mourning hall and went to the Jiaofangsi, which girl were you looking for?"

"The oiran of the time."

Mr. Shen answered fluently.

"An Shiyi..."

The most famous courtesan in Liangjiang County's Jiaofangsi.
