020 Confrontation
In an inconspicuous dark alley, two teenagers shed their night clothes and walked out as if nothing had happened.
The young man in red is very arrogant, and the young man in green is gentle and elegant.
Lu Jinghuai snorted coldly: "Shen Changfeng, I really underestimated you, cutting off other people's hands without even blinking your eyes." β
Shen Changfeng threw him a black cloth bag, "Each other." β
"What is this?"
Lu Jinghuai tore open the cloth bag, and the smell of blood was strong.
In the pale moonlight, five pale fingers curled up lifelessly.
"! What are you doing with this hand? β
Shen Changfeng chuckled, "Naturally, it is kept as a certificate." If you make a mistake, you'll have to do it again. β
Lu Jinghuai tied the cloth bag in disgust, "What do you mean?" β
Shen Changfeng hooked his lips, and his peach blossom eyes were particularly cold and gloomy.
"Which hand did Zhao Chuyang throw the stone with?"
"Right hand."
"Tsk, that's right, then keep his left hand for him first."
Lu Jinghuai looked at the young man beside him with a complicated expression, and muttered, "What a pervert." β
This night, Xie Jinci slept very unsteadily.
In a daze, she always felt that a pair of eyes were watching her.
The little girl slowly opened her eyes.
Headboard...... Seems to sit down with someone?
She sat up from the bed with a spirit, sleepless.
"Little brother? If you don't go to sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing with me? β
The young man in the frost white shirt looked at her with a smile, "Does your forehead still hurt?" β
Xie Jinci: "......"
So this guy didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and sat at the head of her bed just to ask if her forehead still hurts?
The little girl carefully brushed away the broken hair on her forehead, touched the wound through the gauze, and whispered, "It doesn't hurt so much." β
The young man flicked her forehead, "My sister's skin is really thick, and I'm worried about you." β
Xie Jinci teased: "Worried that you can't sleep? β
"yes, I can't sleep."
The young man smiled warmly, and took out a black cloth bag from behind him, "I'll give it to you." β
"Hurt and have a gift?"
Xie Jinci looked up with a small white face, and his round eyes were full of expectation.
She happily took the cloth bag and opened it carefullyβ
"Ahh This is...... It's ......"
With a scream, the black cloth bag was thrown a foot away, and a white and stiff unidentified object slid out of the opening.
The little girl's face was pale, and her whole body trembled, "This, this is ......"
Shen Changfeng gently took her into his arms, stroked her long satin-like black hair, and chuckled:
"If he dares to smash his sister's forehead with this hand, I will dare to cut off his hand and give it to my sister as a gift."
"This, this is ...... Hand?! β
Xie Jinci's eyes rolled and he was stunned.
The young man's slender fingertips hooked a strand of black hair, and he sniffed the elegant incense of agarwood on it.
After a long time, he sighed softly:
"It's just that I chopped off a hand, and my sister was scared like this. If she sees me killing people in the future, won't my sister be scared to death? Tsk, you have such little guts, what can you do? β
β¦β¦
The next day, Xie Jinci fell ill.
I didn't catch the cold, I didn't have a fever, but I just said something like "don't come to me" in my mouth, and my mind was not very clear.
Shen Changfeng left her a bowl of porridge and left her to go to class by herself.
Lu Jinghuai was just punished by Xu Fuzi yesterday, and went to Jinchengzhai honestly today.
The sound of the master reading quickly sent him to sleep, and he was sleeping soundly, when he was plucked by someone's ear.
He opened his eyes irritably, only to see that the outside of the fast was full of state soldiers in light armor, and they were very sad.
On the side of the case, Qian Wenmu, who sacrificed wine, looked serious, "Lu Jinghuai, you come out with me." β
Lu Jinghuai suddenly had a bad premonition, but he tried hard to pretend to be calm: "Sacrificial wine, what's the matter?" These state soldiers outside ......"
"Lu Jinghuai! What are you pretending! Last night you slipped into my room while I was sleeping and cut off my hand, and today I will take you to prison and tell you to sit through the bottom of that prison! β
Zhao Chuyang walked in with a fierce face, raised his right arm wrapped in layers of white cloth, and pointed at Lu Jinghuai.
When the words fell, a middle-aged man in a luxurious official uniform stepped in with a rich belly and followed in:
"What my son said is right, no matter how hard your Lu Jinghuai's background is, you have to remove an arm today and compensate me!"
He looks seven points similar to Zhao Chuyang, it is the governor of Lin'an City, Zhao Xianlin.
Supervisor Situ Yuan also came.
He wore a wide ultramarine robe, with a ribbon of the same color around his waist, his hair color was black and white, and he was tied with a bamboo hairpin, which was quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones.
He waved at Zhao Xianlin and said softly: "Lord Zhao, arresting people is arresting people, but in the important place of the academy, you are so aggressive, and even the state soldiers have been launched, isn't it inappropriate?" β
Zhao Xianlin swept through the group of students and found that they were all silent, as if they were frightened.
He waved his hand and motioned for the state soldiers to wait in the outer courtyard.
After withdrawing the state soldiers, the students whispered about the matter, looking at Zhao Chuyang's gaze, with a slight sense of schadenfreude.
Zhao Chuyang yelled at them: "Look at what! Let's see if I catch you together! β
Zhao Xianlin protected his son behind him and said to Qian Wenmu: "Your academy has a student like Lu Jinghuai, who can't be seen in his eyes, Qian Sacrifice Wine, you must give this official an explanation today!" β
Qian Wenmu furrowed his eyebrows, looked at Lu Jinghuai, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you do it?" β
Lu Jinghuai hurriedly shook his head, "Sacrificial wine, wronged!" Although I like to fight, I don't have the habit of cutting off other people's hands! β
He glanced at Shen Changfeng and greeted his ancestors in his heart.
Originally, beating Zhao Chuyang violently last night was over, but who expected Shen Changfeng to cut off someone's hand!
It's not a big deal!
Qian Wenmu arched his hand towards Zhao Xianlin, "Lord Zhao, since Lu Jinghuai denies this matter, you can't arrest him, unless you come up with evidence, otherwise, this matter should be thoroughly investigated." β
Zhao Chuyang was anxious and roared: "What evidence can this have?" Who would come to see Lu Jinghuai cut my hand in the middle of the night? Yesterday afternoon, I just asked someone to beat Lu Jinghuai, and I was cut off at night, it must be Lu Jinghuai who took revenge on me! β
Situ Yuan soothed: "Zhao Gongzi, don't worry, now that you and Lu Jinghuai have their own opinions, we can't determine whether it's true or false." Why don't you tell the story of last night carefully and confront Lu Jinghuai face to face? β
A few days ago, Shen Changfeng sat elegantly, and his chin was gentle: "What Situ Prison Cheng said is extremely true. β
As soon as he opened his mouth, students echoed him one after another.
Zhao Xianlin is afraid that this is a academy, there are too many sour and rotten scholars, and there are many people with family backgrounds and backgrounds, if he can't explain this reason, Lu Jinghuai can't catch it.
He groaned slightly and patted Zhao Chuyang's shoulder, "You tell me about last night's events again in front of everyone." β
Zhao Chuyang was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick: "Dad! How many times have I told you since last night? My saliva is dry, and you still want me to say it? The murderer is Lu Jinghuai! Hurry up and get him! β
Zhao Xianlin glared at him with hatred, "Nonsense! β
He pulled Zhao Chuyang out of the door and said in a low voice, "Do you think Dad doesn't want to be angry for you?" The Lu family and other businessmen don't count as fart. What I'm afraid of is Qian Wenmu, his son is the crown prince! Moreover, I intend to marry the Qian family, and I definitely can't tear my face with Qian Wenmu.
"Lu Jinghuai must be arrested, but I have to grieve you to cooperate, tell the story again, and let Qian Wenmu have a step down."
Zhao Chuyang snorted disdainfully: "The prince and the prince are a fart, in Lin'an, isn't it the father who has the final say?" β
Zhao Xianlin was coaxed into laughter, pulled his son back to the study, and said loudly: "Everyone here is going to gain fame in the future, today you can be a witness and listen to how your classmate Lu Jinghuai hurt my son!" β
Zhao Chuyang reluctantly recounted the events of last night.
He spoke in great detail, describing the sensation of his hand when it was cut off, how the blood splattered out, and even the flatness of the incision.
The students listened with relish, as if they were there.
Those who have been bullied by Zhao Chuyang, let alone how happy they are.
"How? Now you believe it, right? β
Zhao Chuyang looked at Lu Jinghuai with compassion, as if he was looking at a dying person.
Qian Wenmu sighed heavily, "Lu Jinghuai, do you have anything to refute?" β
Lu Jinghuai subconsciously looked at Shen Changfeng.
If this guy doesn't help him, he doesn't mind giving him out!
Situ Yuan had the heart to defend his students, and said softly: "Lu Jinghuai, if you didn't do it, you just have to say it, and the academy will definitely return your innocence." β
Dressed in a wide ultramarine robe, his black and white hair tied up in a neat manner, he stood in front of the bookcase, like a righteous adjudicator, which was reassuring and convincing.
He is peaceful and elegant, which is the complete opposite of the sense of oppression that the sacrificial wine brings to people.
When faced with everyone's tough questioning and rebuke, gentle and considerate words are easy to move and accept.
Lu Jinghuai was originally very disdainful, but as soon as Situ Yuan opened his mouth, he felt a little aggrieved.
Zhao Chuyang's hand was really not cut by him!
He tore off a page of the book irritably, and was just about to argue a few words for himself, when Shen Changfeng got up calmly and said clearly:
"Is Zhao Gongzi sure that last night's murderer was Lu Jinghuai?"
Zhao Chuyang glared at him inexplicably, and said disdainfully: "Nonsense! β
Shen Changfeng chuckled, "Then your testimony is full of loopholes." β
"Okay, you Shen Si! What's going on with you here? What nonsense are you talking about?! β
Zhao Chuyang was about to rush over and beat him, but suddenly pulled the wound on his wrist, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth.
Shen Changfeng waved at Zhao Xianlin, neither humble nor arrogant:
"First of all, Zhao Gongzi said that last night's murderer was masked with a black cloth, so he didn't see the murderer's true face. Just ask me, just based on groundless speculation, how can you be sure that the perpetrator is Lu Jinghuai? β
The students nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what he said made sense.
Lu Jinghuai rolled his eyes silently.
He didn't cut it in the first place!
Zhao Chuyang was stunned, and then said fiercely: "Even if I don't see the murderer's face, I can be sure that Lu Jinghuai did it!" β
Shen Changfeng smiled, "Secondly, Zhao Gongzi said that the murderer cut off his hand with only one knife, the technique was ruthless, and the incision was smooth.
"A shallow butcher can't accurately cut off the muscles and bones of pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock, let me ask, how can Lu Jinghuai, a person with mediocre martial arts, do what Zhao Gongzi said?"
Lu Jinghuai was immediately unconvinced, "My martial arts are mediocre? Master, when I was the overlord of Tianxiangfang, you Shen Changfeng didn't know which corner to be in......"
He didn't dare to say anything more, because Qian Wenmu gave him a look.
Zhao Chuyang was dumbfounded, and even wavered a little in his thoughts.
After all, he really didn't see the murderer's face, and he didn't think that Lu Jinghuai had the ability to cut off his hand.
