Listening to Magistrate Xu's question, Shen Ping did not answer. Instead, she looked directly into Magistrate Xu's eyes and continued to ask: "Master Xu, let me ask you again, is the emperor guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law?"

"Of course!" County Magistrate Xu said without hesitation: "Since it was revealed that the current prince secretly formed cliques, formed parties for personal gain, and attempted rebellion, the emperor changed this law. The emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people."

"Okay, let me ask you again, if your son Xu Hao commits the second clause just mentioned, should he be punished?"

Listening to Shen Ping talking about her son, Magistrate Xu's face turned cold.

Does Shen Ping think that she is too talkative to ask such a question?

"Ms. Shen, do you know what you just said? If Xu Hao really committed an unforgivable crime, then I will definitely not cover him up just because he is my son.

But if this is not true, but you slandered me for no reason, then you have committed the crime of slander, and then don't blame me for doing business. "

"Ha ha……"

Shen Ping covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Okay! What I want is that you handle business with integrity!" After saying this, she looked at Magistrate Xu with a calm face.

"you!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Ping would look at him so calmly and fearlessly. County Magistrate Xu narrowed his eyes. Could it be that his son really made something wrong?

He couldn't help but ask: "Ms. Shen, since you are talking about this, you might as well tell me directly, what did Xu Hao do?"

"Da da da……"

Shen Ping leaned back on the stool, tapping her fingers rhythmically on the table, and looked at Magistrate Xu meaningfully: "Master Xu, has anyone reported a missing person in Heyang County recently?"

Magistrate Xu's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't figure out what Shen Ping meant. He asked her about Xu Hao. Why did the topic come up here again? Did she know where Mo Ru was?

"Ms. Shen, to be honest, someone did report a missing person. The missing person is none other than Miss Mo." Magistrate Xu stared at Shen Ping's face, trying to get some clues.

"Miss Mo is at my house."

"What?" Magistrate Xu was so anxious that he unconsciously raised his voice.

Shen Ping raised her hand: "Master Xu, don't worry, listen to me!"

Shen Ping told the story of how she met Mo Ru, how she saved her, and why she took her back to Kaoshan Village.

Magistrate Xu's face grew darker and darker as he listened. He originally thought that his son was just a fool, and at best he was just a fool who didn't care about studying.

I didn't expect that he would do such a shameful thing. He was still the county magistrate, and he failed to discipline his son and let him break the law. It was really embarrassing.

The child does not teach, the father too. It's all his fault. He usually turns a blind eye when his wife dotes on him, but he didn't expect to commit such a heinous crime.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think we should do about this? These days, the innocence of a girl's family is the most important. Now she is pregnant, how do you want her to live?

"I believe that you know the importance of this issue better than I do. And I believe that you will not break the law. You also know that it will be useless if this matter gets too big.

Right now, Miss Mo Ru has a home and cannot go back, so she can only stay with me. I would like to ask you what kind of solution you have?

Besides, Mo Ru has been away from home for a few days. I believe that Mr. and Mrs. Mo are also anxious. I hope this matter can be resolved soon.

What's more, now that this girl Moru has recognized me as her godmother, I can't just sit back and ignore this matter. I must seek justice for her. "

After finally saying all these words, Shen Ping leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath. Originally she wanted to talk to Xu Hao, but after seeing Magistrate Xu today, she changed her mind.

Even if Xu Hao changes his mind and agrees to marry Mo Ru, he still has to ask his parents for their permission. Moreover, people in ancient times valued filial piety, their parents' words, and their matchmakers' orders.

It is usually not her turn to make the decision in this marriage, it mainly depends on her parents' wishes. Shen Ping knows that to capture the thief first, capture the king. In the Xu family, Magistrate Xu is the head of the family, and the main thing is to take care of Magistrate Xu.

As an official himself, Magistrate Xu knows the seriousness of this matter. If he is allowed to do his wife's ideological work, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and this problem will naturally be solved.

Now she throws this hot potato to Magistrate Xu and it depends on how he solves it. After this period of understanding, Shen Ping could see that Magistrate Xu was not a pedantic person, so she dared to speak out.

Magistrate Xu's chest was heaving violently. He hadn't finished digesting Shen Ping's words just now, and now his head was in a mess.

But one thing he was sure of was that Mo Ru was pregnant, and Xu Hao was the father of the child in Mo Ru's belly.

In the private room not far from the next door, Mrs. Dong was impatient. She stretched her neck and looked at the door at the end, but the door didn't move at all.

What on earth is Mrs. Shen talking to the master about? Why is it so mysterious? A long time has passed now, why haven't these two people come out yet?

Suddenly, a thought came to Mrs. Dong's mind, and she was suddenly startled: "Mrs. Shen must have fallen in love with the master!

This Madam Shen is a widow. Although she is a country woman, she is tall and tall. Although her facial features are not exquisite, she has fair skin and a unique temperament. Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong became faintly worried.

Although she was anxious, she didn't show it on her face. She looked at Li Dong and had an idea. She pretended to be calm and said: "Captain Li, it's getting late. Go knock on the door and see how the master and the others are doing. Is it over, we have to go back?"

Li Dong looked embarrassed: "Madam, your Excellency and Madam Shen are talking. Isn't it good for me to knock on the door rashly like this? It won't be good if the Lord blames me later!"

This Li Dong was your lord's subordinate, and she couldn't call him. Seeing that Li Dong was unwilling to knock on the door, Mrs. Dong could no longer keep her composure, stood up angrily, and walked towards the private room.

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Ping stood up in the room and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the door opened so quickly. Dong raised his hand in the air and looked slightly startled. Seeing Shen Ping who opened the door and was neatly dressed, she breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Auntie, it's getting late. I want to ask you if you've finished talking about this matter?" As he said that, he stuck his head in and took a look.

Seeing Dong's expression, Shen Ping tacitly understood and smiled slightly: "I have already finished talking to Mr. Xu about what I want to say. Mr. Xu, don't you think so?"

Mrs. Dong looked at her master, who was lost in thought and his eyes were dazed. She couldn't help but feel strange and said loudly: "Master, it's getting late now. We should go back!"

After hearing Dong's words, County Magistrate Xu came back to his senses, looked at the two people outside the door, nodded, and walked out.

Shen Ping looked at the back of Magistrate Xu, who was stumbling. She felt like she had aged ten years in an instant. She couldn't help but sigh. It was really pitiful for the parents in the world, but when she thought about it again, she sighed again.
