Zhuang Mozhi was taken aback, didn't Chen Guang say that they would recognize one as ten? How can it be said to be one?

He had also heard about "spending a lot of money" recently, and he had specially asked Chen Guang.

He and Chen Guang's father were old friends, and the relationship between the two families was extremely good, so Chen Guang told him the reason for the incident, and also told him that if someone asked him to identify it, he would say that it was a cross.

The dealer has been funded by the Chen family's silver money for a long time, and he naturally agreed, who knew that things would turn out like this?

The crowd suddenly became noisy, it was true that they were laymen, but Zhuang Mozhi was a famous Confucian, and many people in the crowd had heard of it, was he wrong or Mr. Zhou and the three were wrong?

After Mr. Zhou and the three entered the court, Lu Yuan knocked on the shocking wood and shouted:

"The three of you are so bold, you actually openly deceived the official, just now you recognized the word Mr. Zhuang but said that it was a cross, he is an old man with high morality and fame than you, then it must be your mistake, come to someone, first one person will be punished with ten sticks!"

Mr. Zhou said in a hurry: "My lord, the three of us will definitely not admit their mistakes, and they are not guilty, you can't beat us for no reason!" ”

Lu Yuan turned his back to the three of them and shouted:

"Could it be that Mr. Zhuang admitted his mistake? He was sure that there was a cross on it, and said that if he confessed his mistakes, he would no longer study, and everyone present could testify, so what else did you have to deny! ”

Several voices rang out from the crowd:

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang said it's a cross!"

"You scholars love to fool people!"

"You liars!"

Mr. Zhou took a closer look, and there was a word written on the back of this piece of paper, which was one of the few gambling contracts they had just recognized, and his face instantly turned pale, thinking that he had finally been hit, which was really unguardable.

Seeing that Zhuang Mo didn't say a word, he obviously acquiesced in this matter, for the sake of his reputation, he knew that he had to survive to the death, and said loudly: "My lord, Mr. Zhuang is old, his old eyes are dizzy, and there are mistakes in his eyes!" ”

"You mean he's wrong, and you're right?" Lu Yuan frowned.

Mr. Wu, who has always been silent, finally couldn't help but speak: "That's true, the three of us believe it at the same time, of course, it is better than him!" ”

"Although you are not as famous as him, but you are three people, could it be that Mr. Zhuang really admitted his mistake?" Lu Yuan's position was extremely fast.

Mr. Zhou arched his hand and said, "My lord, Mingjian! ”

Zhuang Mozhi has been watching coldly, and found that they really recognize this word as one, although they don't understand why it is different from what Chen Guang said, but it is related to his reputation for many years, and he can't help but speak:

"Lord County, you can't look at who has the most people in terms of knowledge, but who has deep knowledge!"

Mr. He sneered:

"Old man Zhuang, you are just good at selling your reputation and reputation, you are not as good as me in terms of real talent, and you are far inferior to Brother Zhou, and you are embarrassed to say that you are deeply educated?"

"You, you ......" Zhuang Mozhi pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't speak.

He knew these three people well, and knew that they were fake Confucians raised by the Chen family, but how did he know that they were so brazen?

Lu Yuan seemed to have completely defected to Mr. Zhou's side, and said:

"Mr. Zhuang, I can't hide it, just now these three gentlemen passed the official two tests, and they do have real talent and real learning, the people present have seen it, and the official is also very impressed, it seems that it is really as Mr. He said, their knowledge is above you, it may be that you admit your mistake."

Zhuang Mozhi's face turned pale in an instant, he really couldn't imagine that he would do the Chen family a small favor and end up like this.

Lu Yuan's tone gradually became stern, and he said in a deep voice:

"In the side hall, the thirty most famous people in the county have all been invited by the official, in order to be a witness, I actually did not expect that Mr. Zhuang is so knowledgeable, he would actually recognize such an obvious word as a cross in the hall.

In that case, according to the agreement, you are not allowed to study in the future! And today's events will soon spread throughout the whole state, and even the whole country, and then the people of the entire Tang Kingdom will know that a generation of great Confucian Zhuang Mozhi will recognize a word as a cross. ”

Zhuang Mozhi yelled: "No! It's not that I admit my mistake, I'm just doing Chen Guang a favor, these three people only pointed out one to ten after receiving the Chen family's money! ”

Mr. Zhou's face changed greatly: "Old man Zhuang, you are crazy, don't spew blood!" ”

When Chen Qian heard his words, he wanted to break into the court, but was stopped by the officials.

The thirty prestigious people in the hall looked at Chen Qian with different eyes, and among the thirty people, Miss Sun's father, Sun Bo, was also inside.

Lu Yuan said gently: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. He, Mr. Wu, you go down first." ”

Mr. Zhou wanted to say more, but the head of the senior class shouted: "Not yet!" ”

Mr. Zhou and the three of them saw that the servants were fierce, so they had to retreat to the side hall, and Chen Qian immediately stepped forward and slapped his head and face: "Zhou Jing, how can you go against Mr. Zhuang?" ”

Mr. Zhou was silent, and Mr. He said angrily: "Do the three of us have to admit their mistakes in public?" ”

Chen Qian was furious in his heart, but with so many people around, it was not easy to attack, so he punched his palm fiercely, thinking: "Three ungrateful things, after this matter is over, see how I clean you up!" ”

He knew that if these three people admitted their mistakes, at most they would just let the Xu family lose a thousand gold, which was not a big deal, but Zhuang Mozhi and their family were world friends, and if they fell out because of this matter, it would be worth the loss.

And Zhuang Mozhi knows many important secrets, if he is dug up by the county order, it will be really bad.

In his heart, Mr. Zhou and the three of them are just tools, and he doesn't care what fate they fall into, he has many handles for the three of them, and he is not afraid that they will bite back.

The person in the court, Lu Yuan patted the shocked wood, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuang Mozhi, you framed others in court, do you know that the law is strict?" ”

Mr. Zhuang trembled and said, "I didn't frame them, what I said is true!" ”

"Do you have proof?" Lu Yuan asked.

"These are what Chen Guang told me personally, these three fake Confucians were actually paid by the Chen family." Zhuang Mozhi said urgently.

In the back hall, Li Xiancheng had already stood at the ear door eavesdropping, standing with Sun Shaoqing and Su Liuying, and when he heard Zhuang Mozhi's words, he hurriedly entered the public hall and shouted:

"Mr. Zhuang, have you thought clearly, is the Chen family really sorry for you? Don't be provoked! ”

Lu Yuan said angrily: "Li Xiancheng, who let you enter the court?" ”

"The lower official is rude, so I'll go in." Li Xiancheng bowed down, and glared at Zhuang Mozhi fiercely after speaking.

When he returned to the door, Lan'er muttered, "It's still an official master, and you are so shameless!" ”

Sun Shaoqing was in a hurry, hurriedly grabbed her, and said in a low voice, "Shut up." ”

Li Xiancheng glanced at the two of them coldly, and said in his heart: "When Lu Yuan is defeated, I will slowly concoct you." ”

In the lobby, Lu Yuan continued to ask:

"Mr. Zhuang, do you have any evidence to prove that these three people received benefits from the Chen family, so they only pointed out that one is ten."

Zhuang Mozhi snorted: "I ......"

At this time, Master Yuan suddenly said leisurely: "Wind and rain are in the same boat, and everyone is happy when they reach the shore." ”

"Master Yuan, what are you doing here?" Lu Yuan said coldly.

Master Yuan smiled and said: "Xia Guan was suddenly touched, and he couldn't help but read it, please forgive me." ”

"Don't forget, this is the court!" Lu Yuan calmed down and said lightly.

"It's a rude official." Master Yuan said with a smile.

Zhuang Mozhi hesitated for a long time, and sighed:

"My lord, it's the old man who admits his mistake, and it's also the old man's nonsense, please surrender your lordship!"

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed deeply, and he persuaded:

"Why should the old gentleman do this? You should know best who is wrong in this matter, so why should you bear the blame? ”

Zhuang Mozhi laughed miserably: "Adults don't need to say more, please convict adults!" ”

Lu Yuan's eyes closed, knowing that he would not change his words, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, put Mr. Zhuang in prison for the time being, and take care of him." ”

"Yes!" The head of the year class waved his hand, and the two officials escorted Zhuang Mo down.

The onlookers had already seen the strangeness, and knew that this matter was likely to be as Zhuang Mozhi said, the Chen family was making trouble, and whispered.

At the right ear room, Shan Hu said angrily: "Those two officials are really hateful, the old man Zhuang is about to recruit!" ”

The woman in white said lightly: "Now that you know what is right and wrong, you can make a direct decision, but you have to stick to the rules and let the thieves get away with it." ”

Shan Hu smiled and said, "No, miss, let's go and take the lives of the three old men and the Chen family father and son tonight!" ”

The woman in white frowned and said, "You are causing trouble for Lu Yuan, I will go and arrest them at night and hand them over to Lu Yuan to deal with." ”

Shan Long touched his nose and said in his heart: "Miss, aren't you causing trouble to Lord Lu?" ”
