Chapter 116 Poor Shen 1
Great Wisdom: The Emperor has invented a new term!
Baiguan: Pure love warrior?
In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and Dacongming and Youyue's anger had reached its peak.
Seeing this, Sima Kong cupped his hands and said, "Report to the Regent, the Censorate has already found out that Shen Yi embezzled the project funds, but they are still waiting for the chain of evidence to be complete. The preliminary estimate is now that it has reached 4000 taels!"
When Nan Rongxi heard this, he couldn't help but admire the work efficiency of the Censorate.
"Four thousand taels! Shen Yi, do you know what this means? This is the hard-earned money of so many people, and you pocketed it!" Every word of Da Congming was like a sharp knife, pointing directly at Shen Yi's heart.
Shen Yi was like being struck by lightning, his whole body was stiff, his face was as pale as paper. His lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
He knew that he had nowhere to escape. The crimes that he once thought were well hidden were now exposed to everyone like being stripped of clothes.
You Yue was furious: "Four thousand taels, this amount of money is enough for many families to live a life of comfort and comfort, but you covered up all the money and embezzled it privately."
Da Congming took a deep breath, tried to calm his anger, and slowly said: "Shen Yi, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Yi finally raised his head, his eyes filled with regret and tears: "I...I admit that I embezzled the money. But please give me a chance, I am willing to use all my property to make up for this mistake."
"Make up for it?" Youyue sneered, "Do you think your family property can make up for the people who suffered because of you? Do you think your greed and selfishness can be measured by money?"
The hall was silent, with only Shen Yi's sobbing echoing in the air. He knew that he could no longer undo the mistakes he had made, and he could only accept the upcoming punishment.
Nan Rongxi continued to ask: [Tongzi, can you tell me the story of Shen Yi and his girlfriend! ]
At this time, all the officials pricked up their ears. Shen Yi was definitely going to jail. The question was, what kind of bloody story was behind this?
System: [The story between Shen Yi and his girlfriend Xiaofang is a tragedy full of love and betrayal, blindness and awakening.
Shen Yi, a young man born in poverty but with great ambitions, entered the official career through the imperial examination. He always upholds the ideal of serving the people, but the cruel reality and the temptation of power gradually erode his original intention.
Xiaofang is a beautiful but cold woman. Her feelings towards Shen Yi are complicated and contradictory. She relies on his tenderness and devotion, but cannot truly respond to his love.
When they first met, Shen Yi was attracted by Xiao Fang's beauty, and Xiao Fang was also moved by Shen Yi's talent and sincerity. During that time, they were like two shining stars, shining on each other in each other's world. For Xiao Fang, Shen Yi would do whatever it took to satisfy her needs, whether it was precious jewelry or gorgeous clothes, as long as Xiao Fang liked it, he would do everything he could to get it for her.
However, Xiaofang's feelings for Shen Yi were not as deep as he expected. She enjoyed everything Shen Yi brought her, but deep in her heart she could never fully accept him. Xiaofang had experienced an unforgettable love, but that relationship ended in betrayal and hurt, which made her lose faith in love. Therefore, in the face of Shen Yi's deep affection, although she was moved, she could never open her heart.
As time went by, Shen Yi gradually achieved success in his career. He began to get in touch with the core of power and was also faced with more and more temptations. In order to give Xiaofang a better life, he began to try some improper means to gain wealth and status. At first, he just wanted to meet Xiaofang's material needs, but gradually, greed and desire for power began to erode his heart. 】
Baiguan: Oh my god, he is actually a sentimental person.
Nan Rongxi thought thoughtfully: [Tongzi, you said at the beginning that this is a story of love and betrayal, so does that mean Xiaofang definitely doesn't like Shen Yi? ]
System: [You guessed it right, Xiaofang just wanted to cheat Shen Yi out of his money, and she gave all the money to the pretty boy! ]
When Shen Yi heard this, he almost collapsed. This made him more desperate than being thrown into jail. He had always devoted everything for love, but in the end, this was the result.
When all the officials heard this, they also looked at Shen Yi with pity.
Nan Rongxi looked curious: [Can you tell me the story of Xiaofang and the pretty boy? ]
Baiguan: This... is like rubbing salt into the wound!
System: [Xiaofang was alone on the street buying silk with Shen Yi's money and ran into a pretty boy. The pretty boy was not only handsome, but also eloquent, and soon won Xiaofang's favor.
He often stayed with Xiaofang, taking her to visit famous scenic spots in the capital and tasting various delicacies, making Xiaofang feel the long-lost warmth and companionship.
Slowly, Xiaofang and the white face became closer and closer. The white face cared about Xiaofang's daily life very much, making her feel unprecedented attention. Gradually, Xiaofang began to have feelings for the white face, and her heart began to move away from Shen Yi.
Shen Yi was busy making money and was unaware of Xiao Fang's change. He was still immersed in the dream of creating a better life for Xiao Fang, but he didn't know that she already had someone in her heart. Moreover, Xiao Fang gave most of the money she got from Shen Yi to the gigolo! Shen Yi was unaware of it from the beginning to the end. 】
Nan Rongxi scratched his head: [This bastard is quite pitiful in terms of love. It can be said that he is being manipulated by this woman! ]
Baiguan: My God, this woman is a bit cruel to him! As expected, a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, and it is hard to predict!
Shen Yi: No wonder this woman sneaks out from time to time, my God! Fortunately, now I know the truth!
Da Congming looked at Shen Yi, his deep eyes revealing complex emotions. He once had high hopes for Shen Yi, believing that this young official had outstanding talents and a bright future. But at this moment, Shen Yi stood in the court with his head down, already a criminal.
"Come here, take Shen Yi to jail and set a day for trial." Da Congming waved his hand, his voice revealing helplessness and determination.
Following this order, several guards quickly stepped forward and escorted Shen Yi out of the hall. Shen Yi's back gradually disappeared in the hall, leaving behind a silence.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually calmed down, but everyone was filled with shock and regret. They watched Shen Yi being taken away, and saw the fall of a promising young man. As expected, love can sometimes be a deadly poison.
