Chapter 593: Find father for son

The autumn wind is getting cooler, yellow leaves are all over the ground, and the streets of the capital are still crowded with people. No matter the land movement not long ago, or the lavishness of the nobles, it was just for the people who were busy with their livelihoods to make some after-dinner talks, and the days were still going on step by step.
A woman in her early twenties stood on the street with people coming and going, and there was no movement.
Passing pedestrians cast curious glances.
I don't know how long it took, the woman suddenly stopped a pedestrian and asked, "Brother, how do you get to Shuntian Palace?"
The person who was stopped was also in his twenties, with flexible eyes and not much like an honest person.
Seeing that it was a decent young woman who stopped him, the man immediately became enthusiastic, and pointed out: "Go straight from here, turn left at one intersection, then go west for two intersections and then turn left, you're there. "
The woman looked blank.
The man looked at it and said with a smile: "I'll take you there anyway, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Beauty is always popular. The woman in front of me is not a big beauty to a man who has seen a beauties in Beijing, but she is also very good, especially her skin is white and tender.
The man is happy to help a little bit. It is good to say a few more words without saying anything else.
The woman nodded and followed the man forward.
Those who noticed this scene thought: Tsk tsk, this little daughter-in-law is an outsider, so she went with someone so recklessly, she was not afraid of being abducted.
No, you have to follow up and see, maybe there is some excitement to watch.
There were quite a few people who thought so and didn't have any hurry, and followed them in twos and threes.
On the way, the man asked, "Is the eldest girl a foreigner?"
The woman pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Are you here alone?" the man asked again.
The woman still said nothing.
"What is Shangshun Tianfu Ya doing?"
The woman still did not speak.
The man touched his chin, and said in his heart: It's a loss.
Fortunately, the Shuntian government office is not far away, and it took a long time for the man to raise his hand and point: "Did you see the big girl, the Shuntian government office is here."
"Thanks, elder brother." The woman thanked her and walked to the yamen step by step.
The man who led the way did not go.
Just kidding, if you just leave without looking at the excitement, it will be even worse.
The woman wandered in front of the Yamen for a while, walked to the big drum, took the drumsticks and knocked hard.
咚咚咚--
The sound of the drum was strong, breaking the dullness of the government office.
Zhen Shicheng put the case file on the table, and he immediately became energetic.
After complaining and drumming, there is something to do again.
Soon after Zhen Shicheng saw the young woman playing the drums, she shot the gavel and asked why.
The woman stroked her lower abdomen, and the people in the lobby were stunned when she opened her mouth.
"The little lady heard that Zhen Qingtian is dedicated to the people. This time she went to Beijing to ask Master Qingtian to help my child find the father in my womb."
Find father?
Many government officials squeezed each other's eyes, and had already thought of countless possibilities.
This little woman was pure and beautiful in life, and she was a little bit charming. It was not because of the misfortune of a certain son's brother, she was abandoned by the chaos.
The little woman is a foreigner, and maybe it is a man who went to Beijing to make a living, but he developed and bought another wife and concubine.
The most boring thing is to be separated from the man and beg to find someone from the yamen.
Compared with the curiosity of the servants, Zhen Shi's achievement was much calmer, and asked gently: "Where are you from?"
"The little woman is a family member from Jinli Town, Qianhe County."
When the woman said that she was from Koi Town, Zhen Shicheng frowned subconsciously, giving birth to a bad feeling.
"Can there be a guide?"
The woman took out the road guide and handed it to the government officer to present Zhen Shicheng for inspection.
After confirming where the woman came from, Zhen Shicheng continued: "Tell me about the specific circumstances of your entering Beijing to find a husband."
The woman said loudly, "My lord, the little woman is not looking for a husband, but a father for the child in her belly, because that man is not the husband of the little woman!"
As soon as these words came out, the yamen who were guessing in this regard were immediately excited.
Zhen Shicheng's expression condensed.
Qianhe County moved a few months ago, and Beijing sent many people to rescue the disaster. Is the person the woman looking for is someone from the court?
Protecting officials from officials is certainly not the style of Zhen Shicheng.
"go on."
"The man asked the little woman to accompany him for a few days. Unexpectedly, more than a month later, the little woman found out that she was pregnant, so she had no choice but to find him..."
Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard: "So, does your husband have someone else?"
The woman whispered.
The eyes of the officials looking at the woman were immediately contemptuous.
A husband also goes to accompany other men, this woman is not obedient to women.
"In that case, why are you sure that the child in your belly belongs to someone else?"
The public officials admired Zhen Shicheng.
Or adults hit the nail on the head.
The woman bit her lip and said: "The little woman has been married for many years and has been childless. After she accompanied the noble person, she found out that she was pregnant. Who can the child be if the child is not the noble person?"
A servant murmured: "That's not good. If you can accompany the noble, you can't accompany others?"
Many people laughed.
The woman looked at the speaker like a knife, her face flushed red: "The little lady is not the one who waits for a flirty person, it is my man who collected the money from the noble man--"
She couldn't speak anymore, hiding her face and crying.
The public servants were stunned.
There are such men?
Zhen Shicheng gave a light cough, "Do you know the identity of that person?"
"The little woman knew, but she couldn't find it, so she knelt for the help of Master Qingtian."
"Uh, who is that person?"
The woman was silent for a moment, and said in a trembled voice: "That nobleman... is the prince."
When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Zhen Shicheng's expression was distorted, and he breathed in distress as he watched the beards pulled off by shock.
When I get older, I love losing my beard.
In the next moment, Zhen Shi achieved a big head.
This woman actually said that the child in her belly belonged to the prince, which was so absurd and bizarre, but he was not surprised at the thought that the prince even dared to sleep with the concubine of the emperor.
"Do you know what the crime is to ridicule the prince?"
The woman trembled: "The little woman dare not, the little woman has evidence!"
"Where is the evidence?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, took out an object from her arms and presented it to Zhen Shicheng.
That is a jade pendant.
Seeing the four-claw dragon pattern on the jade pendant, Zhen Shicheng's eyes narrowed.
The woman bowed her head and said, "This jade pendant was given by a nobleman."
Zhen Shicheng was silent for a while.
The prince went up to comfort the victims on behalf of the emperor, but he spent money to sleep the victims’ daughter-in-law. That's all, I have to leave a token after sleeping. Is this for fear that others have no evidence?
Considering that there was such a prince in Da Zhou, Zhen Shicheng felt tired.
Seeing Zhen Shicheng's silence, the woman slammed her head: "My lord, there is really no way for the little girl to survive. After the nobleman left, the husband thought that I had lost my virginity, and soon accepted a concubine, indulged in pleasure, and waited until I realized that I was pregnant He had already lost all the money he could get, and he forced me to go to Beijing to find a nobleman for money. If I didn’t follow, he would kill me..."
A few days later, Zhen Shicheng entered the palace.
