Chapter 7: Taking advantage of the situation to get out
He asked triumphantly, "Liang Xinming, what else do you have to say?"
Liang Xinming really had nothing to say, and was speechless to the extreme for this kind of trial method. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But she didn't look sneering. It doesn't matter if Huang County is ignorant, the light will ruin her future, and the heavy will ruin her life. This kind of thing is not uncommon in officialdom, and it is absolutely unacceptable. She forced herself to calm down and think of a way to get out.
In any case, she must leave the county office tonight and take the last exam tomorrow on time, otherwise, her previous efforts will be in vain.
She reminded, "My lord, putting this garment on other women, or on other handsome teenagers, will also achieve this effect." ”
Huang Xianling was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Nonsense! Do other women know Tofu Shih? Who would kill people for her? Who would other handsome young men pass by the river at that hour so coincidentally? Even if he passed by, does it have anything to do with Tofu Shih?"
Liang Xinming was also stunned, but he didn't expect that he was not stupid, not to the point of hopelessness, these words made sense, and the situation was even more unfavorable to her.
She said, "My lord, the students passed by Yuliang Street in the morning. The alley runs east-west, and if students want to enter, they must enter the alley from Yuliang Street. And this little guy is guarding the east end of the alley, if the student goes in, how can he not find out?
These questions do not understand, how to condemn him!
Huang Xian ordered: "So you have done a good job! This official also has to admire." How the hell did you commit the crime, you still can't get it from the truth!"
He spoke highly of Liang Xinming.
Liang Xinming also felt speechless like Hui Niang. She was more clever and decisive than Hui Niang, and immediately decided to give up arguing with Huang Xianling, because it was a waste of words. If Huang Xianling is angered again and put her in a prison cell in a fit of rage, at that time, even if she is full of wit, she can't use it, how can she save herself?
She said with a straight face: "My lord, the students are here to take the township exam, and they will end tomorrow." This case is confusing, and it is better to wait for the students to finish the exam, and then the adults will try it in detail. Otherwise—" She accentuated her tone, her gaze became awe-inspiring, interrupting Huang County's order to cut off her movements—"If a student is convicted by an adult like this and cannot take the final exam, the examiner will probably not be able to explain it if asked by the examiner afterwards." Your Excellency won't know who the chief examiner sent by the imperial court is this time, right?"
Huang Xianling was about to say, "You have violated the law, and you should be disqualified from the exam." What can't this official explain?" Then I heard Liang Xinming's last words.
He glared and said, "What if you know?"
Could it be that person is Liang Xinming's backer?
Liang Xinming said lightly: "The chief examiner this time is Lord Wang of the Hanlin Academy. Mr. Wang is a former champion, a young talent, and extremely intelligent. If there is a difficult problem in his hands, there is nothing that cannot be solved. -- I heard that he also helped Dali Temple solve a long-standing unsolved case. That case has been hanging for nearly twenty years. If an adult does not allow a student to take tomorrow's exam, he will inevitably inquire afterwards and will inevitably pursue the case. At that time, if the real culprit is the student, it will be fine, but if there is someone else, then the adult will be ......."
She didn't say any more.
The consequences of Huang County will make himself think.
Huang Xian Ling is very shrewd in being an official, and he is not stupid at all - he can survive in the situation of being attached to the county, of course, he is exquisite. He was full of excitement and understood the meaning of Liang Xinming's words: If there is another person who is really murderous, he will also be the first official.
Wang Heng, the chief examiner of this township examination, has recently attracted much attention in Huizhou City.
Wang Heng grew up in Huizhou since he was a child, but he is not a native of Huizhou, except for Xiucai, who took the exam in She County, Huizhou, but the township exam was taken in the capital. Three years ago, he was the top student in high school, and he was very favored by Emperor Jing Kang, so he was appointed as the chief examiner of the Huizhou Township Examination this time.
His family background is illustrious, young and promising, peerless, and what is even more rare is that he has not yet married, and there are countless daughters who want to marry him. This time I went to Huizhou, which really made the famous ladies in Huizhou look forward to a lot, who doesn't want to marry him?
However, when the son of the family becomes famous at a young age, it is inevitable that he will be young and vigorous. Wang Heng is arrogant and unpredictable. Just imagine, the magistrate's government got his candidates away, if he didn't ask and find out the truth, wouldn't he fall into his name!
Huang Xianling suddenly lost the confidence to insist on his judgment, and he was really worried that Wang Hanlin would find out another result and make him unlucky, so he had the idea of retreating.
Seeing this, Liang Xinming added another fire and said: "The students know that the adults are dedicated to the public, but others may not think so, they will say that the adults are deliberately disrupting the imperial examination by detaining the students at the critical juncture of the township examination, and even guess that the adults have selfish intentions......"
When Huang Xianling heard this, he didn't dare to insist.
In the end, Liang Xinming was released on the spot.
Of course, the Huang County Order did not acquit her, but still treated her as a suspect, and ordered two messengers to follow her to Liang's house to monitor and prevent her husband and wife from escaping.
Liang Xinming walked out of the county government office, looked back at the yamen behind her, and looked inexplicably -- the officialdom was sinister, and she remembered today's lesson! Turning around again, her face was calm again, and she grabbed Li Huiniang's arm with her hand and dragged her away.
Li Huiniang saw that her expression was wrong, and obediently hugged Xiao Chaoyun and followed her.
Xiao Chaoyun's sensitive atmosphere froze, and he called timidly in a low voice: "Daddy." ”
Liang Xinming didn't hug her this time, but only smiled at her.
Xiao Chaoyun closed his mouth sensibly.
Liang Xinming took Li Huiniang to another street, followed by their officials, hurriedly stopped her, and asked her where she was going, saying that this was not the way to the north of the city.
Liang Xinming said lightly: "Governor Yamen!"
The two officials were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and did not dare to stop again.
Soon they came to the governor's yamen.
Liang Xinming begged to see Governor Lin.
Before Liang Xinming came out of the governor's yamen, the Huang County Order received instructions sent by the prefect Wu Daren: I heard that some township examination candidates were involved in a murder case, and the Huang County Order should deal with it impartially and not be tolerated. How can such a person be used by the imperial court?!
Huang Xian Ling hurriedly went to the government office in person and relayed Liang Xinming's self-defense.
However, Governor Wu smiled and said that Wang Heng and Wang Hanlin were his relatives, his sister married in the Meng family, and Wang Heng's mother was the aunt and grandmother of the Meng family. Wang Heng's name is Antai, and he casually calls Wang Heng "Antai's virtuous nephew", with an intimate tone.
This relationship, no one in Huizhou officialdom does not know, with the prefect of Wu coming forward, how could Wang Hanlin help Liang Xinming, what is Huang County Ling afraid of?
So, he ordered someone to get Liang Xinming again.
The governor stepped in to stop the Huang County Order.
Huang Xianling was surprised, he didn't expect Liang Xinming to be so shrewd, and he actually took the first step to stab the matter to the governor, and the governor actually intervened.
Huang Xianling hesitated.
