Chapter 22: The Scholar's Injustice (7)
Suddenly, there was a burst of firecrackers, and people at the gate of the county school were looking for prestige. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Master, the young master is still inside! I don't know if there will be any danger! ”
"Nonsense, so many servants are here just to protect the people inside."
Just when everyone's ideas were attracted by the sound of firecrackers, Cheng Bai and Edamame secretly blended into the crowd.
"The young master has never stayed out for the night, and I don't know if I slept well or not."
"Bastard!" Cheng Bai was furious: "Hugh said that these are bad for my son's reputation." There are many students staying overnight at the county school. If someone else lives, your young master can't live there? How do you let the gentlemen and classmates in the county school think of him?
Besides, your young master is going to take the exam in the future, and it is even harder to sleep in the open on the way to the exam, and at this moment you can't even live in the county school, so don't read this book. ”
Cheng Bai saw that the expressions of this group of parents were relaxed, and hurriedly added another fire. Clenched his hands into fists to the sky: "If the family is lucky, the ancestors bless, your young master can get famous." But at this moment, he has a reputation for greedy pleasure, so what future does he have? ”
Books are not for everyone to read, and every parent who sends their children to study hopes that their children will one day be named on the gold list.
"This old man is a knowledgeable person at first glance, and what you just said is very reasonable. It's just that parents don't worry about their children. A middle-aged man was so anxious that he even wore his shirt backwards, and said to Cheng Bai.
"yes." One echo after another.
"Lord Zhixian has arrived!"
The door to the county school is wide open. The officials quickly separated a human wall.
"This official has come today to uphold justice. Everybody said one by one. Yao Zhixian hurriedly shouted to reassure everyone.
"Lord Zhixian, how are the students inside?"
"The other students are all fine, and they can't leave now because they have to assist the government in handling the case." Yao Zhixian answered one by one.
"When will the murderer be caught? You can't fail to catch the murderer for ten days, so let them be locked up for ten days. "I don't know where this question came from.
"This?" It's hard to say when the case will be solved! What to do? Yao Zhixian wiped the sweat on his forehead and glanced at Cheng Bai. I saw Cheng Bai open his mouth: "Five days? Three days? "What the hell are you talking about?
When I heard that it would take three or five days, everyone was in an uproar again.
"One day. The official promised that the case would be solved within today. Yao Zhixian closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and made a promise.
After fighting hard, Lao Tzu has been in the position of the county magistrate for more than ten years, and this year if he is in the evaluation. Hmph, instead of being a magistrate, it's better to go home and be a rich man.
Cheng Bai patted his forehead: Oh my God! I'm talking about drag, drag, drag. Can't you just find an excuse like "you'll be able to go home after collecting clues"? Lord Zhixian, you are going to cut off your official road!
"If you can really find out the murderer in one day, you won't bend to it, right?"
Who stirs up the multitude. Zhao Qi stood on a high place and did not find the person who spoke.
Bend into a trick! As soon as they heard that their children might be wrongfully accused of being murderers, everyone was even more anxious and rushed in. The scene was chaotic.
Cheng Bai had something to say, but was pushed by everyone, and when Zhao Qi saw this, he immediately raised his knife and slashed at the man who was walking in front. The wooden stick with the thick arm in the man's hand was severed in response: "All stand back, have something to say!" ”
"My lord, my lord, I have a suggestion." Cheng Bai finally squeezed out of the manic crowd, raised his hand and said.
"Tell me about it!"
When everyone saw that it was this insightful old man who was going to speak, they also quieted down.
"Lord Zhixian, you might as well choose five people from among the crowd, loyal and famous people to enter the county school. Watch the trial together! This not only does not affect the trial of the case, but also ensures the fairness of the matter. ”
Everyone agreed, and five delegates were soon elected. Cheng Bai's actions were also favored by everyone, and he actually became one of the representatives.
"Thank you for your love!" Cheng Bai raised his hand, and when he was about to enter the county school, someone pulled his sleeve violently.
"Zhang Tao,!" Cheng Bai was surprised.
"I'm going in too! I want to see my family! Aunt Zhang said in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it won't work! This is the choice of everyone! Cheng Bai felt that Aunt Zhang's eyes staring at him were cold and terrifying. Cheng Bai is sure that if he doesn't agree to her, she will definitely expose his identity on the spot.
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. You go through the back door with edamame. Cheng Bai said in a low voice.
To solve the case within a day, Yao Zhixian is already difficult to ride a tiger. slapped the table suddenly: "Zhang Tao, Wen Zixi, you two don't hurry up and recruit it, who killed Chen Ruofeng." ”
"My lord, I didn't kill anyone!"
"My lord, the grass people didn't kill anyone!"
The two flatly denied it.
"Adults can't be mistaken, my family wants to be excellent in character and learning, and he is a good child. You have to find out! ”
The man who wore his clothes backwards was actually Wen Zixi's father. I'm too good at choosing.
"Don't wronged people, my family Tao'er is a good boy praised by everyone, he will definitely not kill anyone." Aunt Zhang, who was with edamame, also arrived. suddenly knelt in front of Yao Zhixian and played the sympathy card: "My lord, I have worked hard to support Tao'er, and I don't dare to let him learn badly, otherwise how can I be worthy of his dead father!" ”
Father Wen heard Aunt Zhang's crying and hurriedly knelt down, wanting to say something.
"How did you get in!" Wretched? Yao Zhixian only felt that he was the most pitiful at the moment, and he was involved in such a thing. Where can I still hear Aunt Zhang's crying.
"My lord, there is no definite human and physical evidence to prove that there is a murderer among the two. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to convict on this! Cheng Bai saw Yao Zhixian's unkind eyes looking at Aunt Zhang, and hurriedly interrupted: "I just said outside, don't disturb the adults to judge the case, you two don't hurry up and retreat." ”
Cheng Bai hurriedly motioned to Zhao Qi to pull the two aside.
Yao Zhixian took a hard breath and held back his irritability: "Wen Zixi, you said you didn't kill anyone." Then why did you have an argument with Chen Ruofeng? ”
"I, I." Wen Zixi blushed and stammered.
"Son, say it quickly!" Seeing this, his father hurriedly urged.
"I, I don't have anything to say, I didn't kill anyone anyway!" Wen Zixi lowered his head, looking desperate and resigned to his fate.
"Son, father, please, make it clear quickly, this is a murderous matter, and you can't get it to kill your head. Say it quickly! Wen's father was so anxious that tears fell from his eyes.
"Wen Zixi, the official gave you a chance, if you don't say it, then the official has reason to believe that you killed Chen Ruofeng." Yao Zhixian frowned and said.
"My lord, Zhang Tao and Wen Zixi are not murderers. The murderer is someone else. Cheng Yao walked in from outside, walked up to Wen Zixi and said with a smile: "I know the secret you can't tell!" ”
Wen Zixi looked up at Cheng Yao in horror.
