Chapter 222: Innocence
"Outside the Tribute Courtyard?" The middle-aged scribe raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What's going on then?" ”
"My lord, the lower official will go and call someone to investigate!" Li Yuanwailang immediately said smartly.
"Master Li, please wait a minute!" Bai Qingfeng left Li Yuanwailang before the middle-aged scribe spoke.
The latter was stunned, but he didn't do anything wrong, but he didn't get angry.
And Bai Qingfeng was of course willing to do him a favor and find the person who hit the person, but at this time, Li Yuanwailang was still an extremely favorable witness.
"Bai Qingfeng, I don't know what you're talking nonsense!" Yao Jiabao was a little anxious in his heart, and his disguise in front of the high-ranking officials was suddenly torn, and he said to Bai Qingfeng fiercely, "I know that you have a grudge against my Bai Yao family for being kicked out of the Bai Mansion since you were a child, but I hope you have a clear mind, don't be clever in front of adults, so as not to move a stone and hit yourself in the foot!" ”
Bai Qingfeng said with a smile: "Cousin's words are wrong, even if I am narrow-minded, but the one who has resentment should also be the Bai family, how can I also have a grudge against your Yao family?" Unless, it's your Yao family who has also done something sorry for my family! ”
"The Bai family? The Yao family? The middle-aged scribe's eyes sparkled, presumably he had figured out the relationship between Bai Yao and his background.
Fang Shilang gritted his teeth, glared at Yao Jiabao with hatred, and then whispered next to the middle-aged scribe, only to see the middle-aged scribe nodding frequently, indicating that he understood.
Then, Fang Shilang said to them: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, Bai Qingfeng, you quickly tell your evidence, otherwise it will not be enough to convince the public, even if you finish the exam, you will not be able to escape the severe punishment of cheating." ”
"My lord, the student has already given a way to prove himself, but he just asked the three of them to smell the smell of their hands! Of course, among all the adults, Li has been holding the note for the longest time, so please take a closer look at your fingers. Bai Qingfeng said confidently.
"Taste?" The middle-aged scribe's heart moved, and when he saw that they had begun to smell the smell of his hands, he immediately set aside the note, which he was about to use as evidence, and took the note in his hand, and sniffed it carefully at the end of his nose.
After a while, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Bai Xiucai, isn't there this faint sandalwood fragrance on your pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”
This adult has seen a lot of things, and he is very wise and wise!
Bai Qingfeng couldn't help but admire in his heart, and immediately bowed respectfully and hugged his fists and said, "Your Excellency is wise!" However, adults may wish to smell it again, sandalwood is mixed with another refreshing smell! ”
When the middle-aged scribe sniffed carefully, Li Yuanwailang had already confirmed that when he was holding the small note, the tips of his fingers were indeed stained with some sandalwood fragrance, which was extremely faint, but he could still smell it when he smelled it.
Without him having to go to Yao Jiabao and the three to confirm, he had already seen the result from their blue faces.
Yao Jiabao is Bai Qingfeng's cousin, if he finds a way to intercept a piece of paper from the Bai family, it will be really a breeze!
Here, the middle-aged scribe savored another smell other than sandalwood as if no one was there, and only after a long time did he open his eyes and say, "But mint? ”
"Your Excellency is wise, it is indeed mint!" Bai Qingfeng saw that the middle-aged scribe was very interested, so he explained, "I am not afraid of adult jokes, the student was still a weak fool who was disliked by everyone before the heavy snow last year, but he was fortunate to be trapped outside the city on a snowy night under the cold and high fever that did not go away.
After that, the parents of the students spared no effort to cultivate and take care of the students, and my sister developed various spices for my incompetent brother to help me study! Among them, sandalwood and peppermint are an item called essential oil that she has developed, and as long as one or two drops are dropped in the study, one can make people feel calm, not arrogant or impatient. A state that keeps you awake and refreshes your mind.
Over time, these incense sticks to every corner of the student's study, including pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
It's just a pity ......"
"What a pity?" The middle-aged scribe closed the case, Bai Qingfeng looked at Yao Jiabao with a trace of resentment in his eyes, and the latter instinctively flinched, knowing that the matter must have something to do with Yao Jiabao.
"It's a pity that someone staged a collision incident outside the Gongyuan, and took the opportunity to transfer the wolf pen that the students are accustomed to, the wolf pen was quenched with poison, and the student's scholar was alert, and found the suspicious wolf pen, and took it in his hand, tired of him being poisoned, and the sister was worried that a whole set of graphite inkstones were poisonous, so she changed it. Otherwise, adults can smell the sandalwood and mint on the inkstone, and the smell will be stronger! ”
"Ling Mei seems to be a strange woman!" The middle-aged scribe sighed, "If there is a chance in the future, this official will definitely see her!" Lord Fang! ”
He suddenly changed the topic, and didn't mention that when Bai Qingshuang came with other evidence, that is, he completely believed Bai Qingfeng's words, and he had to deal with this examination room frame-up case first: "The matter is already clear, the king will be punished with a cane for thirty and driven out of the Tribute Academy." Huang Xiucai and Zhang Xiucai aided in the abuse, canceled the first qiē result of the township examination, and took away the qualification for the township examination for three years. Yao Jiabao is vicious and unworthy of being a Confucian student, the exam results are cancelled, and he will be stripped of the quota of Xiucai, and he will never be allowed to enter the exam! ”
His tone was clear and his voice was loud, although he was speaking to Fang Shilang, but in fact, the students in every corner of the silent Gongyuan examination room clearly heard his judgment.
Fang Shilang glanced at Yao Jiabao, who was as pale as the earth, and could only lower his eyebrows and said, "Yes!" ”
"Alright, let's all disperse!" The middle-aged scribe waved his hand, asked Li Yuanwailang to order the sentient beings to disperse, and then said to Bai Qingfeng, who bowed down to thank him, "This official is waiting for you above the court, I hope you don't disappoint this official!" ”
"Students may not live up to the hopes of adults!" Bai Qingfeng looked at the middle-aged scribe with a frank and firm gaze, entering the court, his ability to improve step by step, and his ability to protect his family and sister was the biggest purpose of his admission reference!
And he is also a clever person, although he does not know the identity of this middle-aged scribe, but judging by his bearing and the respect of officials such as Wailang to him, he must be a high-ranking official. If you can get the eyes of this middle-aged scribe, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort on the road to entry in the future.
"Good! Good! Good! The middle-aged scribe said three good words in a row, and then got up and left, leaving a sentence under his back, "I also hope to see Sister Ling as soon as possible!" ”
Bai Qingfeng never said this, because he always felt a little strange. R1152
