Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 151 Obsessed
The owner of the clothing store was doing this for the first time and felt very uneasy.

If it was just an ordinary bad thing, the owner of the clothing store could just brainwash himself and get over it, but falsely accusing someone of cheating is a major event that will affect future generations. If it is discovered, he will definitely pay a very heavy price and go to hell after death.

Therefore, the owner of the clothing store tossed and turned, feeling sorry for Mrs. Shen and even more sorry for Shen Mengwu.

When the owner of the clothing store was feeling uneasy, the men in black came to the clothing store quietly and wanted to kill the owner to silence him so that no one would know that Shen Mengwu was framed.

No matter how the owner of the clothing store begged for mercy or how he promised not to tell anyone about this, the men in black showed no mercy. Just when the owner of the clothing store was about to give in to his fate in despair, Shen Yi descended from the sky and rescued him from the men in black.

Thinking of what happened just a second ago, the owner of the clothing store felt a lingering fear. You see, doing bad things will have a price to pay, especially things that affect future generations.

"Speak the key."

Shen Fuyu took a deep breath and interrupted the clothing store owner's thoughts.

The owner of the clothing store was already frightened and his mind was in a state of confusion. He couldn't understand what Shen Fuyu was saying at all.

Shen Fuyu had no choice but to ask, "Why is there a cheat sheet on the clothes? Who wrote it there? And how did they write it there?"

"Who told you to do this?"

A series of questions.

The owner of the clothing store looked dazed and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know him."

"It was a man in black, very tall, and he smelled like camphor tree sap."

"He threatened me with a big knife and asked me to write on the sleeves of my clothes with the seven-star grass. I knew that the Shen sisters were going to take the Tongsheng exam soon. Wouldn't doing this ruin their future? I didn't want to do it. However, if I didn't do it, the lives of all five of us in my family would be in danger. I had no choice but to agree."

The owner of the clothing store was in tears. The clothes could have been delivered to the Shen Mansion last night, but because he was threatened by the men in black, he delayed it until morning. He did not sleep the whole night and received psychological counseling for a long time. In the end, family matters prevailed over morality, and the owner of the clothing store wrote something on the clothes.

"I have written the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics on all three sets of clothes. If you don't believe me, I can recite everything written on them."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, the owner of the clothing store started to recite it by himself. Sure enough, the content was exactly the same as what was on Shen Mengwu's cheat sheet. The owner of the clothing store had never seen a cheat sheet before, so everyone easily believed the owner.

"After writing, apply the juice of seven-star grass on it and the ink will become invisible."

"That's all I know. As for who the murderer is, I don't know."

The owner of the clothing store explained everything clearly, causing an uproar at the scene. Most people did not expect that Shen Mengwu was really slandered.

Meng Yuan also stepped forward at the right moment. "The most famous incense shop on this street is owned by my mother. I've been learning how to make incense from her since I was a child. Although I don't have much talent, I can prove that what the owner of the clothing store said is right."

"Seven Star Grass juice applied to paper can make the ink invisible."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the incense shop and get some Seven Star Grass juice for free to try."

Meng Yuan never deliberately hid her identity. When she stepped forward, the people naturally recognized her.

"So amazing!"

"We almost delayed Shen Mengwu! If someone hadn't investigated the truth, Shen Mengwu wouldn't have been able to take the Tongsheng exam, and she would have been criticized for the rest of her life. Who is so vicious as to falsely accuse someone of cheating?"

"Yes, Mr. Examiner, you must find out who exactly is accusing others of cheating. Such vicious behavior should be punished by imprisonment for the rest of their lives."

"It's nothing to have some minor conflicts between classmates. You can fight or curse at each other, but you actually dare to falsely accuse others of cheating. The sons you will have in the future will definitely be without anus." Most of the people present had scholars in their families. The false accusation of cheating obviously violated the interests of everyone. After all, if he falsely accused Shen Mengwu today, what if he falsely accused his own son/daughter in the future?
"Didn't Miss Meng say that only camphor tree sap can make the ink show? Whoever smells of camphor tree sap is the murderer."

Cheng Ziqi hid in the crowd and shouted quietly, and the people immediately came to their senses. Yes, whoever smells of camphor sap is the murderer.

Shen Fuyu silently gave Cheng Ziqi a thumbs up in his heart.

Hearing this, the black-faced guard suddenly became a little flustered, and his hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled slightly.

At Shen Fuyu's signal, Shen Mengning quietly came to the side of the black-faced guard, widening her innocent eyes, "Sir, you seem to smell like camphor tree sap."

This short sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention. Countless eyes fell on the black-faced guard, who pretended to be shocked.

"Miss Shen, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

The Tongsheng examination had been delayed for such a long time that Chen Mingxue had been filled with anger. Upon hearing what Shen Mengning said, Chen Mingxue immediately came to the black-faced guard in anger. If he couldn't afford to offend Madam Shen, could he afford to offend a small guard?
Chen Mingxue sniffed the black-faced guard like a puppy, and sure enough, there was a particularly sweet smell.

Although he couldn't smell what it was.

"Miss Meng, please come over and smell it."

"Anyone here who knows the smell of camphor tree sap can come and smell it."

Since the examiner had spoken, everyone naturally became impolite, and people immediately gathered around the black-faced guard.

"My Lord, it does taste like camphor tree juice."

"Bah, you black-hearted bastard! You're responsible for checking if the students are cheating to ensure fairness in the exam, not to allow you to commit evil and deliberately frame others. If everyone is as irresponsible as you, the entire dynasty will become a mess."

To undermine the fairness of the examination is to infringe upon everyone's interests.

Someone threw a rotten egg and it hit the black-faced guard hard.

The true nature of the crowd was immediately exposed, and rotten eggs and vegetable leaves were thrown at them like they were free.

"I finally understand what it means when the thief cries thief."

"Sure enough, only those who wronged you know how innocent you are."

"Tell me the truth. Why did you frame Shen Mengwu? Did someone instruct you? Have you done something similar before?"

The confidence that the black-faced guard had forced upon himself instantly vanished.

He threw the knife aside and knelt tremblingly in front of Chen Mingxue.

Scared.

After the matter was exposed, the black-faced guard finally became afraid.

He knocked his head down hard and said, "Sir, I was really wrong."

"I was momentarily bewildered and took the wrong path. I beg your forgiveness, sir."
