Chapter 17: The Scholar's Grievance (2)

Zhao Qi and others were outside the county school. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the person who came and hurriedly explained the situation: "The money received by the county school to buy books and donate money was lost, and the county magistrate heard that he attached great importance to it at this time, and now he is also in the county school." Nian is also famous in Uncle Cheng, so he was interrogated in the county school, but if Uncle Cheng can't say that he is ugly, I'm afraid he will go to prison. ”

"How much silver was lost?" Zhao Gang thought about it and planned for the worst.

"Two hundred taels of silver!"

"Wow, that's so much!" Yang Li exclaimed: "If you are really sentenced, you will be locked up for many years." ”

"No, my dad won't steal money, he must have been wronged." The more critical the time, the calmer Cheng Yao became: "Brother Zhao, can I meet my father?" ”

"Let's go inside!"

"I didn't steal any money, I've been in the library and haven't gone anywhere!"

"The county school has always been peaceful, and today you came, and something like this happened. You didn't do it yet! ”

"Brother Cheng Bai, if you have difficulties to tell your brother, it's fine, why bother making such a fuss."

"Brother Qian, you really have to believe me, I really didn't steal."

"Cheng Bai, if you quickly hand over the donated silver, it is not easy for the official to read that you have gained fame, and he can also treat you lightly, otherwise don't blame the official for not being merciful."

"Oh my God!" Cheng Bai is already at a loss for words.

"Daddy!" Cheng Yao saw that his father was not hurt at all, so he really put his heart down.

"Girl, your father and I are really wronged!"

"As the saying goes, catch the thief and take the bribe, catch the traitor and catch the double, just because the county school lost the money, and my father is in the county school, this is too far-fetched." Cheng Yao questioned the basis of everyone's assertion.

"My lord, sure enough, I found the donation silver in the Cheng family. A total of two hundred taels. "This is a servant who has come to report it.

"Catch the thief and take the bribe, this is the silver!" A man had a stern complexion and a mocking look at the corners of his mouth.

"Who are you?" Cheng Yao looked at the soil still sticking to the silver, and couldn't help frowning, this was buried outside the kitchen.

"I am a teacher from the county school, surnamed Wu, and everyone calls me Teacher Wu."

"It turned out to be Teacher Wu who taught and educated people, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful!" Cheng Yao bent her legs and saluted.

Instructor Wu was about to return the salute when he heard "It's just that your student is really unfortunate to meet such a teacher who is biased and unreasonable." ”

"You, presumptuous!"

"You're still farting, my family has a little silver is silver. One day you talk to the aunt who sells vegetables, and I also said that you will seduce a good woman! ”

There was a faint laughter all around.

"You! You! You coarse girl! "Instructor Wu has never been insulted like this, and he almost died.

"I, I'm rude, it's better than you, a teacher who stutters and misunderstands people's children."

As soon as Cheng Yao came up, he first blocked the mouth of Instructor Wu, who spoke the most meanly. Then he hurriedly knelt down towards the magistrate: "Cheng Yao, the people's daughter, is the daughter of the suspect Cheng Bai." Because I heard that Teacher Wu casually identified my father, I was not angry. I have no way to hide my mouth, and I also ask the county lord to forgive me. ”

"Get up! Thinking that you are young, this official does not care about you, but you need to make amends to Instructor Wu! "The magistrate is a reasonable person, and it is understandable that the daughter is unhappy for her father.

"Teacher Wu, Cheng Yao was rude just now, please don't blame it." Cheng Yao solemnly apologized, only to get a cold snort.

"But with this money alone, I am afraid that there are only four words to describe the condemnation!"

"Those four words?" Yao Zhixian was a little impressed by this little girl. Because of the courage of the pro, it is understandable, and then it is bold to talk eloquently.

"The evidence is insufficient! The people of Qinggang County are living a prosperous life under the wise governance of the magistrate. What's so strange about having some savings at home! Cheng Yao said with a sincere smile. It's really rare to be so slapped.

"That's two hundred taels, it's not a deposit!" Some of the words are accented.

"Then Instructor Wu thinks that the leadership of the county magistrate is inadequate, and he deserves these two hundred taels."

"Students don't dare!" Instructor Wu saw that Lord Zhixian frowned and looked at him, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"In fact, the focus of this case has always been where the lost donated money went and who stole it. Not how much silver I have in my house. Cheng Yao paused slightly, very good, no one objected: "Of course, later, I will explain the origin of my silver in front of several fair people to be innocent." ”

"Well, as you say. Even if the money is not a donation. But your father still hasn't cleared his suspicion of stealing the donated money. According to the law, suspects must also be detained first. ”

"Please allow me to understand what happened and restore my father's innocence."

"Instructor Wu!" The magistrate spoke.

"Early this morning, Qian Juren brought two hundred taels of silver to me and handed it to me, so I put the donation in this room and locked it outside the door. In the afternoon, I found out that I had lost my keys. ”

"Stop, stop! How did you jump from morning to afternoon all at once, please ask Instructor Wu to be more detailed. Cheng Yao couldn't help rolling her eyes, how could there be such evidence. Then while inspecting the room, he listened to Instructor Wu's words

Instructor Wu saw that the county lord acquiesced to Cheng Yao's request, so he said in detail: "I put the money in the house, and I took the money to check around the county school. At noon, he invited Qian Juren to eat out together. There is my class in the afternoon, and if I can't entertain Qian Juren, Qian Juren will have to go back. Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to the prisoner Cheng Bai. ”

Cheng Yao couldn't help but want to give her middle finger, can't you not help but talk to my father: "It's a suspect, please use the words accurately!" Is it here to say goodbye? ”

"No, I've been in the Library Pavilion, and it was Brother Qian and Teacher Wu who went to the Library to see me." Cheng Bai hurriedly added that at this moment he had come out of the emotion of being wronged. Looking at his daughter's calm face, he sighed slightly in his heart.

"And then?"

"Later, I found out that the key was lost, and the key was found on Cheng Bai's body."

"You don't have to emphasize your dereliction of duty, you lost the key, I just picked it up and returned you!" Cheng Bai directly pierced it, no matter whether the key was lost or stolen, it was a dereliction of duty on the part of Instructor Wu. This time, everyone knew that the little girl was talking so impulsively, and it was a family history.

But when he opened the door again, he found that the money was gone. Who else could you steal if you didn't! ”

"Maybe you are guarding yourself and stealing yourself, and you have come to wronged me!" Cheng Bai and Instructor Wu were on the bar: "Yes, maybe the truth of the matter is, that's it." ”

"Neither of you are thieves!" Cheng Yao's words attracted everyone's puzzled eyes: "It matters that this sealed room is not the only way to unlock it with a key. ”

"So tell me what's going on?" A voice came from outside the door. The man who came was an old man in his seventies.
