177, unforgiving

Chen Tongzhi agreed to try the case on the street, and Xiao Yuanyou also sent someone to Hexian to bring the plaintiff over.

Seeing that a black-clothed guard beside Xiao Yuanyou was ordered to leave, Chen Tongzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the personal attendant next to him imperceptibly.

Then, he raised his hand and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

The scholars on the street sat on the ground, waiting for the plaintiff to come, and all the officials above stayed in fear at this time.

Xiao Yuanyou sat down on the chair next to him, and he didn't look anxious at all.

Chen Tongzhi saw it, pouted, the wife at home hadn't woken up yet, and he could still sit still, and his heart was hard enough.

Not to mention how far it is from Hexian to Yan County, no matter how long the distance is and the scholars are waiting, the officials have no way to leave, so they can only accompany them.

Fortunately, the distance between the two places is not far, and the black-clothed guards are quick to whip up, come and go for an hour, and they will arrive.

These days, the scholar dressed as a lion dancer has been locked up in the Hexian prison, guarded alone, except for not seeing the light of day and no one interrogating, the others are all waiting for good food and good food, and the jailer has not scolded him back and forth.

was originally holding a straw and leaning against the corner of the wall to be written, but someone called it out, and then was thrown on a horse and bumped all the way to Yanjun.

But this scholar was scared enough, and he thought that he was going to be sent to the court to be beheaded, although that Xiao Xian seemed to be upright.

But the official word has two mouths up and down, and he hasn't seen anything about each other.

Along the way, my heart almost jumped out of my chest, and although I encountered an assassination on the way, I was avoided by the people who were lured.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not go to the court, but he also saw a lot of classmates from the past.

So many people, shocked!

"Yang San!" Then someone in the crowd shouted, "I'm here to testify to you that you are not falsely accused." ”

"Just now, the adults here have agreed to try the case on the street and rehabilitate you, don't worry, if the adults here rely on their power and refuse to investigate to the end, but want to punish your crimes, we just don't want to be famous, and we will sue for justice."

"Yes!" Another person shouted, "We, the world's corporals, must fight for justice for you, and even more for everyone." ”

This sentence immediately resonated with all the students present, and they all raised their arms and shouted, "That's right! That's it! ”

How important is the innocence of scholars, these officials, except for those martial artists who only have force and no brains, do not use the imperial examination, which other official does not rely on the imperial examination?

These officials who made their fortune by relying on the imperial examination can not do without the innocence of scholars, they can't do without, they want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and ruin people's future, it also depends on whether the soldiers in the world are willing or not.

Chen Tongzhi just wiped the non-existent sweat on his head in a fake way, which would be real sweating.

Where did these scholars come from?

The words spoken one by one are like sharp knives, poking at people's lung tubes!

Ah! It's so poisonous!

Can he pretend to faint?

He doesn't want to try the case!

Whoever loves to judge will be judged!

He is not a parent official, he is just a military attachΓ©, he doesn't know how to judge cases!

Chen Tongzhi once again complained about Xiao Yuanyou.

Bad! Too bad!

The bad guy is all let him do it, Xiao Yuanyou is just waiting to be the good guy, right?

Chen Tongzhi thought about it for a while, and often sighed in his heart, forget it, who made him unable to hold his breath just now.

Don't you see so many officials shrinking back one by one?

Only he talks too much.

Don't toss, hurry up and pull the case down.

Thinking about it, Chen Tongzhi raised his voice softly, and then drank loudly,

"Someone, take the plaintiff!"

Then the scholar who complained was brought before the officials.

After the Yang scholar brought it, Chen Tongzhi immediately asked, "Who is the hall and what are you complaining about?" ”

Yang Shusheng immediately straightened his waist and replied without being humble or arrogant,

"In Xia Yang Yu, it was the last failed examination Xiucai, and he wanted to sue the Yan County Government, and the officials counted one as one, corrupt the law, cheated in the imperial examination, and accepted bribes! The complaint has already been submitted, please take a look! ”

Hearing this, all the scholars showed anger on their faces.

Let's not talk about anything else, cheating in the imperial examination, this is unacceptable, this is clearly blocking their future.

Chen Tongzhi has deep regret at this moment, why is there no regret medicine to buy in this world?

I'm going to have him wrap it up!

As long as he has the opportunity to do it again, he will definitely not jump out to take over the words of these scholars just now in order to block Xiao Yuanyou!

He is a military general, what is the purpose of all this?

An official of the Yan County Government, one is counted as one, isn't he also an official of the Yan County Government?

Chen Tongzhi held back the blood dripping from his heart and continued to ask,

"Although you say that you have a meritorious reputation now, but you are still just a student, which official in this Yan County is not older than you, are you sure that you will commit the next crime and sue the adults?"

"Where did you get the confidence to dare to act so recklessly?"

"Your Excellency." Yang Shusheng spoke up, "Because Xiao Ke believes that this world is Lang Lang, the sun and the moon are good, and it cannot be reversed, and the matter of referring to the deer as a horse will not appear in such a prosperous world." ”

"It is this peaceful and prosperous era that gives Xiao Ke confidence, and it is the benevolence of His Majesty today that gives Xiao Ke confidence......"

Yang Shusheng wanted to continue talking, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Chen Tongzhi.

"Stop, you don't have to make any more big senses, the official only asks you, do you have any evidence to sue these people?"

Chen Tongzhi has a headache, his head hurts very much, it hurts so damn well.

"Yes, since Xiao Ke dares to sue on the street, there is naturally real evidence!"

Yang Shusheng's face was determined, and his voice fell to the ground.

He looked left and right, pulled the shirt that was kneeling on the ground slightly, pulled out an oiled paper bag from the sole of his shoe, opened it, and inside was a folded thin sheepskin roll, he lifted it above his head and presented it to the court.

Chen Tongzhi watched Yang Shusheng take out the evidence from the soles of his feet, and then looked at the parchment roll, and inexplicably smelled a sour smell.

He thought it would be better to train those rough guys in the barracks!

The smell of the rough man is not very good, but it is better than this thing taken out of the soles of his feet!

It's so hard for these civil servants!

If you try several cases a day, and the evidence comes like this, will you be able to eat?

Chen Tongzhi glanced at Xiao Yuanyou several times, his eyes were about to cramp, and he hoped that Xiao Yuanyou would take the evidence and look at it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanyou didn't seem to see it, and he didn't move.

Chen Tongzhi, "......"

Good! Count you ruthless!

He didn't dare to do anything.

In desperation, he could only look around and wanted the attendant to take it, but he forgot that his attendant had already left not long after the black-clothed guard sent by Xiao Yuanyou to pick up Yang Shusheng from the county left.

Now that Yang Shusheng has arrived, he hasn't come back.

Chen Tongzhi pinched his nose, took the parchment roll, looked at the evidence on it, but glanced at it twice, and his face changed suddenly.

Sure enough, it is the most treacherous reader!

The parchment scroll really recorded the evidence of the officials of Yan County abusing their power for personal gain, and what relatives in the family relied on their connections to be admitted to the promotion!

Even his home was no exception, and he couldn't deny that he did open the door to his relatives at home.

Although he didn't give out the questions, he also dredged them up in the examination room, making those examiners turn a blind eye.

Chen Tongzhi twitched the dough.

When he agreed to try the case on the street, it was already doomed, and it was impossible to be biased.

At that time, he still thought that if he wanted to blame those who were too high-profile, they didn't know how to hide it.

Who would have thought that in such a situation as his family, Yang Shusheng knew it clearly.

Who is to blame? Blame yourself for being stupid!

Chen Tongzhi had no way to regret if he wanted to, so he could only continue to interrogate.

Seeing that Chen Tongzhi's face changed greatly, the scholars below suddenly shouted,

"My lord, you must avenge Yang San, you promised just now......"

"The government is corrupt and incompetent, corrupt and perverts the law, deceitful, and cannot be forgiven!"

"I beg you to avenge your grievances!"

The shouts of the scholars came and went!

Chen Tongzhi didn't care about anything at all, and threw the thing to Xiao Yuanyou, "Lord Xiao, you took this case, or you should try it!" ”

Chen Tongzhi knew that his family was also on it, but he didn't dare to really offend the officials of the entire Yan County, even if the poor still had two or three relatives.

Who knows if these officials have a backstage, as far as he knows, Wu County Lieutenant has a cousin who is a student politician in Jiangnan Province!

and Cao Sima, one of his daughters is a concubine in the palace.

I only heard Chen Tongzhi stand up, "Regarding this case, this official transferred it to Lord Xiao for trial, and you are equal to the heart of your classmates to avenge their grievances, and this official has a deep understanding, but the case is not so decided." ”

"The government has rules for doing things, so let's just wait for Lord Xiao to rehabilitate your classmates."

This is to dump things on Xiao Yuanyou.

The scholars suddenly didn't know how to react, but Chen Tongzhi simply got up from his position and gave up his position.

Finally, Yang Shusheng reacted and immediately shouted,

"Fellow students, thank you for speaking up for me, it is impossible for the government to judge in court."

"This matter concerns a lot of people, since Lord Chen can't be judged, then please ask Lord Xiao to uphold justice."

Xiao Yuanyou lowered his eyes and looked at the parchment roll stuffed by Chen Tongzhi in his hand, his brows were not furrowed, and he looked at it carefully.

After looking at it, I understood why it was clear that three years had passed since the incident, and this scholar jumped out to denounce it.

Thinking about it in the past three years, this scholar has found a lot of things.

After the black-clothed guard who had just picked up someone brought someone over, although he didn't come to him, he could see clearly the gesture Xiao Yuanyou had seen, that is, on the way here, he encountered an assassination.

It doesn't look like one group of people, but several groups of people coming together.

Fortunately, there were preparations just now, and it seemed that there was only one guard to pick it up, but in fact, there were several guards secretly following.

Xiao Yuanyou hooked the corners of his lips and looked at the content above him.

There are a few officials who have just opened the door to convenience, Chen Tongzhi is the same, and some, such as Lord Huang, are different.

There is a favorite Mrs. Ru in Lord Huang's mansion, and this Mrs. Ru said on her face that she was a squire girl from a small county under Yan County.

In fact, Mrs. Ru's mother was a concubine bought by the squire from the flower building, but her biological father was not a squire.

Because Mrs. Squire and her biological mother delayed Mrs. Ru, and once took her out to burn incense, she gave people to a martial artist of a troupe, so Mrs. Ru's biological father was a pitiful man.

Mrs. Ru's biological mother gave birth to two children to Na Wusheng, and later because she couldn't live a poor life, she hooked up with a businessman and ran away.

As for Mrs. Ru, freedom grew up in the troupe, she was born beautiful, her voice was good, and she sang on stage when she grew up, and once she was seen by Lord Huang, she took her back to the house and became a concubine.

Moreover, he is extremely fond of this Mrs. Ru, and even surpassed Mrs. Huang.

This Mrs. Ru has an older brother, and he has a child with a Danjiao in the troupe.

Mrs. Ru's brother knew that his sister was doing well in Mrs. Huang's house, so he sent the child to Mrs. Ru, and wanted Mrs. Ru to help the family change the court.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ru moved Lord Huang and asked Lord Huang to create a fake life experience for her, and also let her nephew participate in the imperial examination.

According to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, the descendants of the poor were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Of course, if Mrs. Ru's nephew only participated in the imperial examination with a false identity, maybe Xiao Yuanyou would have to respect him a little.

Although the law stipulates that mercy cannot participate in the imperial examination after the pity, Xiao Yuanyou is more in favor of having a class without class, and also appreciates those blades that change their fate by their own efforts.

But Madame's nephew is obviously not such a person.

He was able to be admitted to the examination because his wife borrowed the money of Lord Huang and still had power, in fact, he himself only knew a few words, and the articles in the exam were ghostwritten by others.

Coincidentally, the ghostwriter is none other than the Yang scholar who is now suing.

This Yang scholar's family is poor, mother and son depend on each other, and his mother helps people sew and wash the pulp for him to study, so she looks forward to his title on the gold list.

And Yang Shusheng couldn't bear his mother's hard work, and often helped people copy books to get some copper plates to relieve the pressure of the family's overstretched money.

Before the imperial examination, someone came to the door and asked Yang Shusheng to help write some articles, which were all propositional.

And he gave a lot of silver.

This money is enough for the mother and son to calculate for many years, and more importantly, his mother does not have to sew and wash, and her tired hands do not have to go into the water in the winter, they are all frostbite.

It's just a few articles, and it's a breeze for him.

Yang Shusheng happily took the errand, handed in the article, took the money, and the scholar bought supplements for his mother to make up for it.

Soon, the autumn season will also arrive.

Yang Shusheng is full of confidence, he has studied hard for three years, and he has a great grasp of his middle move, as long as the examiner does not deliberately make it difficult, he can win.

In fact, people are not as good as heaven, sometimes no matter how strong you are, if God doesn't give you a chance, then you can't do anything.

Yang Shusheng entered the examination room, and as soon as he got the exam papers, he was overjoyed.

This exam question turned out to be done by him!

At that time, although he felt different, why was it the same as the question of the person who came to buy the article not long ago.

But every moment in the examination room was precious, and Yang Shusheng was surprised, but he was still carried away by ecstasy.

He didn't do the same thing as the article he sold before, but changed his perspective and wrote in a different way.

He is full of confidence and believes that he can win. If you don't get lucky, it doesn't make sense.

But the fact is that Yang Shusheng didn't hit!

He's off the list!

He couldn't believe it, at this time, his mother also had an accident, and he accidentally fell, and he spent all the money he got, but his mother still went.

For a long time, Yang Shusheng was very depressed, he failed the imperial examination, and his mother left with regret.

Until he saw a classmate come to him with an article and ask him why such a style of writing is so similar to his.

He suddenly discovered that it was the article he had sold, and the owner of the article had now won the promotion!

I'm about to take the Spring Exam!

After asking, I learned that the owner of the article was the brother-in-law of the local parent official Huang.

He is in the middle of the pack!

Yang Shusheng was indignant! No wonder he thinks the exam questions are familiar, but it turns out that someone has long abused power for personal gain!

Thinking of his own failure and his mother's departure, Yang Shusheng felt that he couldn't be depressed.

Maybe the death of the mother is all a conspiracy, how can the mother be cured with such dirty silver?

Yang Shusheng has 110,000 regrets in his heart, but there is no regret medicine to take in the world.

He accepted this remorse, but he didn't want the villain to get away with it, so Yang Shusheng embarked on a slow secret visit.

Along the way, he walked very hard, and his identity was exposed, and he was almost killed, and then he hid in the lion dance team, and only then did he escape!

thought that he was a weak scholar, but he had become a burly man in the lion dance team.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and he finally waited for an opportunity.

At this time, Yang Shusheng didn't know that Lord Huang had been arrested by Xiao Yuanyou for some reasons.

He looked at Xiao Yuanyou with blazing eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Yuanyou finished reading the parchment roll in his hand,

"As a student, you should be familiar with the laws and regulations of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, if you have a grievance, go through the government first, and then find the three divisions, this is the right way."

"Today, you are so rashly meditating here that you are suspected of coercion."

Hearing this, Chen Tongzhi and the others breathed a sigh of inexplicable relief.

It seems that Xiao Yuanyou is on their side, so he said......

It's just that before Chen Tongzhi and the others could completely relax their anger and put the heart back in place, they listened to Xiao Yuanyou continue to continue.

"However, Nian'er and the others are avenging grievances for their classmates, and they are sincere, and today's meditation will not be investigated......"

Chen Tongzhi and others are scolded! What the hell is this?

What exactly does Xiao Yuanyou mean?

But Xiao Yuanyou hasn't finished speaking,

"You sued the Yan County Government and the government, and this official already knows that this official is the lowest county office, and this official will hear this case."

"It's just that the things presented by this Yang student have to be checked one by one, and I can't give you a reply on the spot."

"In this way, three days later, in the county government of Hexian County, the official will hold a public trial in front of the people, and if you want to observe, you can also come."

"Of course, if you have any evidence, the progress of the trial will be faster. Those of you who present evidence need not fear personal threats, and this official will send one of these guards and the officers of the county and county government to you today. If there is evidence, it can be forwarded to ......"

"Now, stand down!"

"Don't do this again, or I don't know what kind of punishment you will receive!"

After speaking, I saw Xiao Yi step forward and look at those scholars with a smile,

"Guys, why don't you hurry up and wait for us to drag you up?"

The students couldn't believe it, and they were silent for two breaths, and suddenly burst into shouts.

Many of these students who came to the assembly today have failed to make the list, and they have read many articles by famous students on the list, but they are not as good as they did, but they have been successful.

This made them very unhappy, and they didn't do nothing, but the officials of Yan County protected each other, and they couldn't skip the level to sue.

Even if you sue you, if you don't win, it won't ruin a person's future, it may affect the entire family.

It's because everyone swallows their anger, thinking that people who go through relationships won't have it every year, right? It's a big deal, just wait for the next subject.

They are young and can afford to spend it!

Today, this Lord Xiao not only sent people to protect them, but also didn't even need them to come forward, just secretly handed over the evidence.

There are so many people present, even if those people want to take revenge, they don't know who it is, isn't it!

This method is really good, very good!

The students went home with a smile on their faces.

The faces of the officials present were not very good!

Chen Tongzhi looked at the things on the parchment roll.

Soon, Xiao Yuanyou received a lot of evidence, one of which was very special!

It is written that he was in contact with a person who sold exam questions, this person is from the capital, and he has a great background, he said that he is a member of the Lu family in the capital!

That is, the mansion of the eldest princess of Xiangyang!
