Chapter 375 The Regent took away the ring
Shen Ruzhou returned home and saw Miaodong back. He happily held her arm and looked around, and finally felt relieved when he saw that she was completely beard and tail.
"Miaodong, you have suffered." Shen Ruzhou truly cared for this girl. They had grown up together since childhood and were as close as sisters.In the last life, Miaodong was beaten to death by Mu Wanqing to protect herself. In this life, she was imprisoned because of her. How could she not feel distressed.
Miaodong was moved by Shen Ruzhou's concern and had tears in her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Miss, Miaodong is fine. As long as Miss is fine, it doesn't matter if Miaodong suffers."
Shen Ruzhou stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and comforted her softly, "It's good that you're okay. Don't worry, these hardships will not be in vain. One day, I will make sure they pay back double the amount."
Miaodong nodded vigorously. She knew that her young lady was no longer the person who always tolerated and paid. Everyone who had hurt them would have to pay the price.
As if she had thought of something, Miaodong took Shen Ruzhou's hand and cried, "Miss, Mr. Zhou has taken the ring off my finger. I won't give it to me no matter what."
When Shen Ruyi heard the thumb ring on Monday, he couldn't help but think of the experience that night in the cave. He waved his hand and said: "If the thumb ring is gone, it will be gone. I didn't want it in the first place."
Miaodong refused, and continued to cry, "Miss, that ring finger is your amulet. It can protect the lady. You must find a way to get it back, and it cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."
Her words reminded Shen Ruzhou that once the ring finger leaked out and was seen by the previous owner, wouldn't what happened to her in the cave be leaked?
The matter was about innocence, Shen Ruzhou immediately decided to go to Dali Temple to get the ring back.
She brought Miaodong to Dali Temple quickly. The guard guarding the door went in and reported, "Master Zhou is not here. Miss Shen, please come back."
Shen Ruzhou looked to the side and spotted Zhou's carriage, and immediately asked: "Is Mr. Zhou not here, or does he refuse to see me?"
When the guard saw that she had seen through it, he could only apologize and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, I am just a gatekeeper, and I am also following orders. Please don't embarrass me and go back."
Miaodong muttered angrily, "Master Zhou must have something on his mind, otherwise why wouldn't he want to see us?"
Shen Ruzhou naturally knew, but this was the official government office of the imperial court. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to get in, let alone ask Mr. Zhou to get his things back.
While he was worrying, Lu Huaining walked out and was very surprised to see Shen Ruzhou at the door. He jumped over to say hello, "Pretty sister, why are you here?"
"Huaining, it's great to see you. I have something to do with Mr. Zhou, can you take me in?" Shen Ruzhou asked quickly.
Lu Huaining smiled and patted his chest and said, "No problem. I often come to help Master deliver documents and warrants. All the officials here know me. I will accompany my sister in."
Lu Huaining invited Shen Ruzhou's master and servant to come in. The guards knew that he was a disciple of the regent, so naturally they did not dare to stop him.
After going in and seeing Mr. Zhou, Shen Ruzhou asked straight to the point, "Mr. Zhou, Miao Dong came back and said that you had held off the finger. I don't know why?"
Mr. Zhou has also been in officialdom for a long time. He twirled his beard with style and spoke in an official voice, "The finger-wrap is important evidence, so I am staying here."
Shen Ruzhou snorted coldly, "The finger snap has nothing to do with the case, it is not considered evidence. What's more, the case has been closed, and the items should be returned to their original owners."
Mr. Zhou didn’t expect that Shen Ruzhou, a female prostitute, would not only speak with great momentum, but also be well-founded. In addition, he was already in the wrong, and he no longer had the condescending look just now, “You don’t understand, Dali Temple has always had reservations in its judgments. Rules for the preparation of evidence..."
"Don't fool people." Lu Huaining directly interrupted Mr. Zhou, "The retained evidence is usually the murder weapon used in the crime. According to regulations, other items must be returned to their original owners when the case is closed."
Lu Huaining had been forced by Beixiu Yan to learn the laws of the imperial court a long time ago. He also often went to various government offices to observe the procedures of handling cases, so he was already familiar with these.
Seeing the beautiful sister giving him a thumbs up, Lu Huaining was even more proud and continued to press Mr. Zhou, "The thumb ring is a precious thing. Mr. Zhou ignored the law and took it privately, but he wanted to enrich his own pocket and embezzled other people's money?"
Lu Huaining was young, but he spoke with great energy. With just one sentence, Master Zhou asked a question and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Mr. Zhou didn't want to offend him, so he could only apologize with a cautious smile: "Young Master Lu, you have wronged me. I have a good reputation in Dali Temple for many years, and the regent knows it."
"My master has so many things to do, how can he find the time to know how you are doing as an official? You'd better take out your things, otherwise, I will ask the master to send someone to check you out and see how much of this sneaky business you have done. .”
Master Zhou did not expect Lu Huaining to be so difficult to deal with. He spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile: "Young Master Lu, Zhou is not afraid of investigation. However, this finger ring is no longer with me."
"Where did that finger go? Just tell me and we will ask for it ourselves." Shen Ruzhou was keenly aware that Mr. Zhou was just a fifth-grade official. He should not have the guts to covet her things when the regent personally tried the case. There must be more powerful officials behind the scenes.
She and Lu Huaining exchanged glances, and Lu Huaining immediately understood and said to Mr. Zhou: "You only need to tell us whose hand the finger is, and we will take care of the rest. As for you, we will not pursue it."
Mr. Zhou had no choice but to tell the whole truth, "After the trial that day, the Regent took away the wrench. Just when I wanted to ask for it, the Regent came with a knife in his eye, so I didn't dare to say more. explain."
It was the Prince Regent who took the ring.
Shen Ruzhou's eyes widened in shock.Beixiu Yan must not be greedy for her money.
The previous doubts came to mind again. Beixiu Yan seemed to have been paying special attention to this ring. He asked repeatedly about the origin of the ring. Did he find something?
