Qi Kun was indeed walking with Zhou Zhicheng at this time.

After coming out of the Cloud Crane Tower, Qi Kun unconsciously walked to Zhou Zhicheng's side, and stopped talking several times.

When he was about to arrive at the Ziyi Office, he finally glanced at Zhou Zhicheng very quickly and said, "I'm sorry." ”

“...... Nothing to be sorry about. If you really didn't do it, as your sister said, you're a victim too. Zhou Zhicheng was silent for a while before speaking, shook his head and said.

He still has unfinished words. And if this matter was done by Qi Kun, a word of sorry would not save anything.

"No, if I insisted that my father continue to investigate this matter a year ago, it would definitely be much easier to investigate than now......," Qi Kun whispered.

"Why didn't you check it back then?" Zhou Zhicheng asked him, this is what he really can't understand and can't accept.

"I ...... I was terrified. Qi Kun's voice was very small, and he said with some trembling of shame, "As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of the way you were lying next to me with blood on your hands, and I still had a knife in my hand, and there was blood on my sleeve. Everybody thinks I did it, but I don't know anything, I don't know how to justify it......"

The two of them were not far from Xu Wen, and Xu Wen could hear what they said clearly.

Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Qi Kun.

Qi Kun has a baby face and looks very small, but since Xu Wen saw him, he has been acting quite steady and generous, with a sense of calmness that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change.

But now, his face was pale, his voice trembled, and his gaze drifted, as if he had changed back to the frightened teenager, reminiscent of his age......

He is one year older than Xu Wen, and at this time last year, he was only thirteen years old, and he is still just a child who has just entered the first year of junior high school in modern times!

"After that, I had a serious illness, and after I got better, everyone told me that I was not that kind of person, and that I definitely didn't do it, and that the evidence was not enough, so I worked hard for a year and then took the apprenticeship test. Senior Brother Zhou...... Senior Brother Zhou, I should go and meet your ......"

Qi Kun completely returned to the past, looking like he was about to cry.

Zhou Zhicheng let out a long sigh, stretched out his right hand and touched his head: "But in fact, you want to make things clear and let everyone know that it really wasn't you who did it, right?"

"Yes. Qi Kun seemed a little flattered, he wiped his eyes and nodded vigorously, "I didn't do it in the first place!"

“...... Well. Zhou Zhicheng didn't say much, only replied with one word.

Xu Wen retracted his gaze and fell into deep thought.

He could probably guess why this matter was not investigated in the first place, but passed like mud.

Even if Zhou Zhicheng is a strong contender for the head of the county, after all, he is just a primary school apprentice from the township, and he is nothing before he is admitted. He has his finger cut off and has no future, what is it, the imperial court attaches so much importance to the apprenticeship test, will it be affected?

This matter is bound to be suppressed.

Maybe Zhou Zhicheng was given a little compensation, maybe not, in short, things were calmed down in a hurry, he was driven back to the countryside, and he could only swallow this breath.

On Qi Kun's side, the lack of evidence is mostly true, after all, there are indeed many doubts in this matter.

Yue Muxuan has a strong background, the new chief examiner is a good friend of Qi Zhengze, Qi Kun postponed taking the apprenticeship test for a year, as long as he can pass the exam, his future will not be affected too much. After all, suspicion is just suspicion, and catering to the need to calm down the situation is the most important thing.

But does Qi Kun want to do this himself?

He's just a teenager, is he willing to let this matter pass unclear, and he will carry this suspicion forever?

It can be seen from his performance when facing Zhou Zhicheng that this matter has not actually passed in his heart.

The atmosphere was a little dull, but they still quickly entered the Ziyi Office, all the way to the third entrance in the back.

It was the first time Xu Wen had officially entered the Ziyi Office.

This is a typical Gangnam building. It is a gathering place for craftsmen, and there are many restrictions on regulations, such as the size of the gate, the height, the size, the number of steps, and so on. But the craftsmen made a dojo in the snail shell, and built this place practical and exquisite, every step is a scene, and there is ingenuity everywhere.

The little hillbillies in the class were all stunned, their eyes lingering, all kinds of amazements.

At their current level, they can't see too much detail, but just what they can see, they can't say a word!

After passing through the corridor, they entered the third entrance.

The front is a hall house, which extends to the left and right, and is separated by a door in the middle.

In order to accommodate more people, this place is a little larger than Xu Wen expected, in addition to the main hall and wings, there are also outbuildings such as hugging buildings and ear rooms.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhicheng and Qi Kun were able to live in a room for eight people, which was already a very good living condition.

They came to the outside of the left wing, and an iron lock was lying in the center, and the rusty appearance showed that it had not been opened for a long time.

Master Qin should be right, this place has been sealed since the accident, and everyone avoids it.

I hope that some of the original scene can be preserved......

When they arrived, there were already four people waiting here, two officials, and two stewards of the Ziyi Office.

To investigate the case, of course, there must be a public official such as a public servant who is officially present. And the affairs of the public office could not be clearer than those of these two old stewards.

The steward found the key to the left wing, and when he saw them coming, he was about to go up to see the door, but Xu Wen stopped him first: "Slow." ”

Zhu Gantang immediately raised his hand to ask the steward to stop, and looked at Xu Wen with interest.

The stewards probably knew what the adults were here for today, but now they saw that they were mainly a young boy like Xu Wen, and they looked at each other with strange expressions, and sure enough, they didn't move.

Xu Wen stepped forward and walked around the chamber and inspected all its doors and windows from the outside.

Of course, the doors and windows are all wooden, painted with red lacquer, and carved with various auspicious patterns, which is very exquisite.

This kind of carved doors and windows must be wiped frequently, otherwise it is difficult to clean up thoroughly due to thick dust. Judging from the dust on these carvings, it is true that no one has touched it for a year.

Xu Wen returned to the gate and nodded to the steward, who immediately understood and stepped forward to open the door.

Xu Wen said the result of his judgment, and Qi Kun immediately asked, "In other words, what was it like here a year ago, and what is it like now?"

"That's roughly the case, but it's hard to say whether this was a year ago, a year before when it happened, or a year before after the investigation. Xu asked to remind.

Everyone present immediately understood. After the incident a year ago, it was also investigated, and it is difficult to say whether the scene was damaged during this process.

"A year ago, this case was also investigated by the small one, and the small one found out the file of that year and brought it over. ”

At this moment, one of the two officials suddenly opened his mouth and handed over a thick booklet.

Zhu Gantang looked at him deeply, then asked, "Your surname?"

"The small surname Fang, the square Fang. The middle-aged servant was flattered.

"Good surname. Zhu Gantang praised it, and handed the booklet directly to Xu Wen.
