Chapter 94: Lu Yan is missing
Hu Tongxue's face was full of clouds, and he handed the account book to Lu Hengshan, Lu Hengshan looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Yang Tong, and soon, this account book was rotated on the platform. Song Jue and Yu Huawen both showed incredible expressions, where did he think that a little president of the alumni association would embezzle more than a thousand taels of silver. In the end, this account book was returned to Hu Tongxue.
Under Zhao Huan's call, Yao Changqing woke up and turned around. Seeing Zhao Huan, he opened his mouth, but the "father" never shouted. He turned his head to look again, and saw that Hu Tongxue was still holding the account book, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed Zhao Huan, got up, and was about to pounce up.
This time, without waiting for Song Zheng to make a move, Yang Tong rushed forward, grabbed Yao Changqing's neck, and then pressed hard to the ground, and Yao Changqing fell to his knees again.
Hu Tongxue ignored Yao Changqing anymore, but walked up to Zhao Huan, who was sitting on the ground, and threw the pamphlet away. "Mr. Zhao, take a look for yourself, I don't know what to say." Hu Tongxue's voice suddenly became louder: "This Yao Changqing actually did such an ugly thing, and he is innocent of death!" ”
Zhao Huan shuddered and opened the booklet. When he saw the contents clearly, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and when he turned to the last page, he saw the last amount of silver, and immediately his mouth opened wide. How could he have imagined that his son would be so bold and give up 1,100 taels of silver? According to the law of Daqi, if an official embezzles more than 40 taels, he will be dismissed from office and his house will be confiscated; More than 100 taels, it is a capital offense. Although Yao Changqing is not an official, the number is too large!
Zhao Huan stood up trembling and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhizhou, if Yao Changqing returns the silver taels, can he ...... Will he be exempted from the death penalty? ”
Hu Tongxue calmed down his anger, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go back to the state government!" Go to court for a trial. Then he turned to Lu Hengshan and said: "Lu Shoubei, today's incident is beyond your expectations, let's still do it according to the rules, and please mobilize the people of the martial arts academy to bring all the people involved in right and wrong, including the person who made the same poem, who seems to be called Gao Daquan, back to the state government together." Including Su Luo and others, who initially framed Song Zheng, as soon as the woman named Xiuhe came just now, these students slipped down. In addition, there is also the child who delivered the account book, which has also slipped away, and it is important to find him. Let's get everything sorted out today! ”
Lu Hengshan nodded and instructed Yang Tong to gather the students of the Martial Academy and make arrangements.
In the end, Hu Tongxue walked to the middle of the poetry platform and said loudly: "Today's poetry meeting can be described as wonderful!" First of all, Song Zheng wrote poems in a hurry, and he wrote excellent works; Then Song Zheng was framed again, and finally a major corruption case was involved, all kinds of incidents really opened the eyes of this official! Rest assured, when this official hears today's matter clearly, he will give you an explanation. Although there are so many things happening today, this official still hopes that all students will study diligently, learn more about the way of sages, serve the current imperial court, and contribute to the people of Mizhou. Finally, the official quoted a poem by Song Zheng, 'I wish to plant willows for 3,000 miles, and lead the spring breeze to spread the world', and encouraged you to do so. ”
After tossing for an afternoon, the sun was already setting in the west, and everyone in the audience slowly dispersed, it is conceivable that this year's poetry meeting will definitely spread throughout Mizhou like wings.
Lu Hengshan only found out before leaving the academy that his daughter Lu Yan was missing. He thought that Lu Yan had gone home on her own, and he didn't care.
When he arrived at the Yamen, Hu Tongxue ordered people to close the door, separated the people watching the excitement from the door, and began to apply for reason. Su Luo and the others quickly confessed that they were instructed by Yao Changqing to frame Song Zheng. Because Su Luo and the others were all from a big family, and they were only fourteen or fifteen years old, Hu Tongxue gave them a light sentence. Su Luo fined fifty taels of silver, and the rest of the others were fined twenty taels of silver, sparing these people from the pain of flesh and skin, and expelled from the Academy.
And the woman named Xiuhe didn't want to confess at first. The tall and all the people who came to the yamen together were eager to make meritorious contributions, and stepped forward to say some things. It turned out that Gao Daquan, like Xiuhe, was from Gaojiawa Village in the south of the city. However, Gao Da's family is very wealthy, and Xiuhe is a poor girl. Later, for some reason, Xiuhe's family suddenly became rich, not only built a new house, but also bought a lot of land.
Seeing this, Xiuhe had no choice but to confess. A year ago, a group of people bought a yard on the west side of Gaojiawa Village. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, one of these people touched the village, forcibly made friends with Xiuhe, and left two taels of silver. Later, this man often came to Xiuhe. As for the idea of framing Song Zheng, it was this person who came up with it. As for this person's name, Xiuhe doesn't know, only knows that he is called "Seventh Master".
As soon as Xiuhe confessed, Lu Hengshan, Yang Tong and Song Zheng all understood that Gao Jiawa was indeed the village where the Imperial City Division and Mizhou Dark Eagle were fighting, and the edge of the village was the secret stronghold of Mizhou Dark Eagle. And this seventh master should be the seventh in the Mizhou Dark Eagle.
The trial of Yao Changqing also started smoothly, and Yao Changqing resisted all this. He claimed that when he visited Zhao Huan two days ago, he saw two words written on the table in the study, called "Liu Si". So he wrote the poem in advance, copied it on a piece of paper, and sandwiched it in the book. As for the membership fee of the alumni association, Yao Changqing confessed that there were two account books, and the first fake account book was placed in the office of the alumni association in case anyone would check it. As for the second ledger, like the poem, and the deposit of one thousand and one hundred taels of silver, which was greedy for ink, it was placed somewhere in that secret courtyard. Hu Tongxue hurriedly sent people to search for him and let Su Luo lead the way.
Gao Daquan, who also made the poem "Liu Sigh", told him about "Jia Junpeng" asking him for poetry. The child who brought the account book said that he was playing at the gate of the Academy, and a person gave him a string of sugar gourds, saying that he should send the account book to the big platform in the Academy and give it to a person named Hu Tongxue. also said that after completing the task, he would buy him two strings of sugar gourds, but after he left the gate of the Academy, the man disappeared.
When the officials returned, they reported that the real and false accounts had been found, but the only ones were missing. At the same time, a public servant also whispered to Hu Tongxue and told him about the painting posted by the Academy of Literature this morning. Hu Tongxue nodded with a gloomy face, judging from Zhao Huan's maintenance of Yao Changqing like this, the matter on the picture should be true.
Hu Tongxue was about to torture Yao Changqing and ask him to tell him where the silver had gone. Yao Changqing was refreshed, since the real account book had appeared here, those silver tickets must have been taken away. So he honestly confessed that he had asked He Enze to deposit all the money into He's bank, and those silver bills were also issued by the bank. When Hu Tongxue ordered the public to rush to He's Qian Zhuang to investigate, they learned that the money had been taken away by two big men. The public will also be involved in it, and He Enze will be arrested.
At this time, Hu Tongxue already understood that when Yao Changqing and others calculated Song Zheng, they had already been calculated by others. (Ask for flowers, ask for collections, ask for comments)
