Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 691 So much despair!
He pursed his lips, sighed, looked at Shen Lian, and said: "You really are worthy of being the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that you could find out all this in such a short time."

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Madam."

Mrs. Han shook her head.

She said to Shen Lian: "I want to know if Lord Shen has any evidence to prove this inference."

After hearing what Mrs. Han said, everyone looked at Shen Lian.

There was tension, panic, despair and hope in that look.

Shen Lian did not answer directly, but looked at Madam Han and said, "Madam, do you want me to have concrete evidence, or not?"

Mrs. Han lowered her eyes and shook her head. Her voice was still gentle, but full of complexity.

"I don't know either."

"I hope you can provide me with evidence, because then I won't have to suffer from this."

"But I don't want that either, because... my daughter is still young, and I don't want her life to be ruined because of this beast."

The housekeeper and others had tears in their eyes when they heard what Madam Han said.

Han Min also sighed in his heart at this time.

At this moment, he actually showed a rare emotion of not wanting the truth to come out.

Han Min has been following Shen Lian's investigation, so he knows very well what kind of person Han Qian is.

In his opinion, such a scum is really not worthy of so many people dying with him.

However, once Lord Shen investigates a case, he will never let the truth cover up the case.

At this moment, Han Min actually felt a little regretful.

He should have treated this case as an unsolved one, and should not have invited Lord Shen.

"Master Shen..."

Han Min couldn't help but speak.

Shen Lian glanced at Han Min.

Looking at Han Min's hesitation, struggle, and complexity, Shen Lian smiled.

With his ability, it was natural for him to easily know Han Min's thoughts.

Shen Lian turned around and looked at Madam Han. He said, "When I make judgments, I always use evidence to support my inferences."

"However, because you handled this case so well, all of your statements were consistent, leaving no clues for me."

"So, unfortunately, even though I have deduced the truth, there is no actual evidence to prove my deduction..."

When everyone heard Shen Lian's words, they were stunned for a moment.

Then their eyes suddenly lit up.

Mrs. Han's gentle eyes suddenly lit up.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Lian, and couldn't help but said: "Sir Shen, you..."

Shen Lian shook his head and sighed, "I have investigated so many cases, but this is the first time I have encountered a case where I can't find any evidence at all."

"So, I'm very sorry that I can't avenge your husband."

Mrs. Han listened to Shen Lian's serious words, and her eyes became softer.

The housekeeper and everyone else in the Han residence looked at Shen Lian with gratitude in their eyes.

In fact, they all understood that Shen Lian said this just because he wanted to help them.

In fact, as the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, Shen Lian could put them all in jail and interrogate them one by one as long as he had reasonable suspicion.

Most of the twenty people in the Han Mansion are ordinary maids and servants. They do not have strong psychological qualities. With the means of the Dali Temple, they can probably find out the truth.

As long as one person confesses, the others will not be able to continue.

Therefore, as long as Shen Lian can arrest them all, the case can be successfully closed by using some torture.

However, Shen Lian did not do so.

Instead, he told them directly that they could not avenge Han Qian.

This undoubtedly meant that Shen Lian deliberately left them a way out.

How could they not be grateful for this?

The looks that everyone in the Han residence gave Shen Lian were filled with were filled with emotion, gratitude, and relief at having survived a disaster.

Jingzhao Yin Han Min also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

He was really worried that Shen Lian would use fair and strict laws to arrest everyone in the Han Mansion.

Although there is no problem with doing so legally.

However, it is difficult to accept from the perspective of personal feelings and worldly justice.

Madam Han took a deep breath, looked at Shen Lian steadily, and said, "Sir Shen, will this case be harmful to you if it is handled in this way?"

After hearing what Mrs. Han said, the people in the Han Mansion all looked at Shen Lian nervously.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "What kind of damage does Madam Han mean?"

"My reputation?"

He laughed and said, "My reputation has never been based on whether a case is solved or not."

"Of course, they won't disappear just because a case is not solved."

"Not to mention, this is not a case from my Dali Temple."

Shen Lian turned his head to look at Han Min and said with a smile: "I am only here to help out of friendship. It would be great if I can help. If I can't, Lord Han won't despise me, right?"

Han Min finally reacted after hearing this.

Yes, this case belongs to Jingzhao Yin.

The reason why Shen Lian came here was not because the case was transferred to the Dali Temple, but because he asked someone to find Shen Lian for help.

In other words, Shen Lian actually has little to do with this case.

Whether it is cracked or not, it will have little impact on Shen Lian.

As for himself...

Han Min chuckled and said, "This is not the only case I haven't solved yet."

"Not to mention, there is no flaw in this case. It would be useless if anyone comes."

Mrs. Han listened to what Han Min and Shen Lian said, her face full of gratitude.

She took a deep breath, then bowed to Han Min and Shen Lian very seriously and solemnly.

The Han Mansion's housekeeper and others all bowed to Shen Lian and Han Min at this time.

Shen Lian and Han Min looked at each other. Instead of avoiding, they accepted the greeting from everyone.

Afterwards, Shen Lian said, "Mrs. Han, can we talk alone?"

Madam Han glanced at Shen Lian. At this moment, she was no longer on guard against Shen Lian. She nodded directly: "Of course."

Then, the two went to the room where Shen Lian had just interrogated the witness.

Han Min closed the door and stood guard outside.

There were only Shen Lian and Madam Han in the room.

Shen Lian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Han and him.

"Thank you."

Mrs. Han thanked her politely.

Shen Lian looked at Madam Han and said, "Madam Han, do you still feel guilty and anxious about killing Han Qian?"

Madam Han pursed her lips and nodded immediately. She sighed and said, "After all, he is my husband. We have lived together for more than ten years."

Shen Lian asked: "Can I know why you want to kill him?"

"I think that since you have been able to endure his violence for more than ten years, you will not be so angry that you want to kill him just because he wants to marry your daughter to an old man, right?"

Mrs. Han was silent for a moment, and she couldn't help but look towards the door and windows.

Shen Lian said: "There are only me and my wife here. Don't worry, ma'am, what you say will not be heard by a third person." Madam Han was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly.

Her eyes suddenly flashed with anger and hatred, and he said: "He is not a human being, he is not worthy of being a father!"

"He is a beast, a brute!"

Shen Lian quietly watched Mrs. Han vent her anger.

Madam Han suddenly raised her head, looked at Shen Lian, and said, "Do you know why my daughter is so timid and cowardly now?"

"Do you know why he acted so frightened just now?"

Shen Lian said: "I heard that she has been like this for three years, but three years ago..."

"three years ago……"

Madam Han said coldly: "He was drunk and almost ruined Xin'er's innocence!"

Shen Lian's pupils suddenly shrank.

He finally understood.

What exactly caused Han Xin to develop such a serious mental illness?

Shen Lian looked at Madam Han, and Madam Han said coldly: "And last night, he didn't drink, but he wanted to do something worse than a beast."

"He said that Xin'er wouldn't be happy marrying an old man anyway, so why not let him..."

Mrs. Han grabbed it tightly with both hands.

Her eyes were red, with tears and anger coexisting.

"So, I can't help it."

"If I hadn't taken action, Xin'er would have been killed by him."

"Master Shen..."

She looked at Shen Lian, tears welling up in her eyes: "Now, can you understand me?"

"I didn't want to, but he forced me to do it."

Mrs. Han burst into tears.

She clenched her fists and her whole body was shaking.

It can be seen how great an impact this incident had on her.

And Shen Lian was silent for a moment.

Then he picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea for Mrs. Han, and said softly, "Have a cup of tea. All this is over. Your daughter will no longer be coveted and bullied by him."

Mrs. Han listened to Shen Lian's words.

Seeing that Shen Lian did not show any strange expression on his face because of what he said.

She clenched her hands and slowly released them.

Mrs. Han picked up the teacup, took a sip, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

She said, "Master Shen laughed at me."

"Our house looks bright and beautiful, but it is actually so disgusting and dark."

Shen Lian shook his head slightly.

He leaned back and pretended to be relaxed, giving Mrs. Han a sense of ease.

Shen Lian said: "I have solved countless cases and have seen all kinds of people."

"I have seen people with dark hearts who cannot bear to see others do well."

"I have also seen those despicable and shameless people who smile on the surface but stab you in the back."

"I have also seen people who are not fathers, mothers, or sons, and who are not worthy of being human beings."

"So, to be honest, I don't find what happened in your Han Mansion difficult to accept, nor do I think it's something worth talking about."

"Because I have seen much darker things than what you have seen here."

Madam Han listened to Shen Lian's words, and her red eyes could not help but look at Shen Lian. She was silent for a moment, and then said: "Sir Shen has seen so much darkness, but he still remains kind. I admire you."

Shen Lian shook his head and said, "It is precisely because I have seen too many distortions of human nature that I know the value of kindness."

"Every time I see someone like that, I remind myself not to become that person."

Madam Han nodded and said with emotion: "That's why Lord Shen is the great judge of the people of the Tang Dynasty. We respect and love Lord Shen from the bottom of our hearts."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Mrs. Han, please don't praise me. I really don't deserve the title of a great judge. All I have done is to do my best within the scope of my duties."

Madam Han said, "But it's just doing the best within the scope of your duties... This is better than most people, isn't it?"

Shen Lian was silent for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "Mrs. Han is really smart and eloquent. No wonder all the troubles Han Qian caused were solved by Mrs. Han without causing much impact."

When Mrs. Han heard the name Han Qian, the smile on her face turned cold.

She said: "I regret it now. I regret doing so much for him. If I hadn't helped him and let him suffer, maybe my daughter wouldn't have suffered this pain."

Shen Lian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Although I really want to comfort you, in fact, even if you don't help him, it won't affect him."

"what?"

Mrs. Han suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Lian with surprise.

Shen Lian said: "Han Qian has someone behind him helping him. Even if you don't help him apologize to others, he won't be affected much."

"And he did this intentionally, if nothing unexpected happened, because he wanted to give everyone the impression that he was impulsive, angry and irrational."

Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment.

She never expected that if she didn't help Han Qian, nothing would happen to Han Qian.

So to say……

She couldn't help but ask, "All the grievances I've suffered over the years, all the apologies I've made to others, have they been in vain?"

“I was appointed for nothing?”

Shen Lian nodded and sighed: "No surprise, this is the fact."

Mrs. Han's eyes widened and she was greatly shocked.

After all, this is tantamount to a denial of what he has done in the past decade.

"in addition."

At this time, Shen Lian's voice suddenly sounded again.

"There is one more thing. I don't know whether it is good or bad for you."

Mrs. Han looked at Shen Lian blankly.

Then Shen Lian said, "Actually, you didn't kill your husband."

"What!?"

Mrs. Han was stunned.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Because the Han Qian you killed was not your husband at all."

When Mrs. Han heard Shen Lian's words, she was so frightened and shocked that she stood up immediately.

Her eyes widened and she looked at Shen Lian with shock and disbelief on her face.

At this moment, the gentle expression was replaced by astonishment and confusion.

She looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen, you said... the person I killed was not my husband?"

"What...what does this mean?"

Mrs. Han was stunned.

It was Shen Lian's words that made her feel like she was dreaming!
