In the academy, the more the members talked, the more excited they became, and it seemed that they were about to run out to find those adults, accusing the governor Lu Zhen of being the murderer, and asking them to administer justice. This made the few government officials who were guarding the side, originally intended to watch them, frightened, but they didn't dare to really step forward to stop them, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

And Kong Lian, who was the first to lead the topic to Lu Zhen and identified him as the culprit, didn't speak at this time, just stood there and watched coldly, but there was a burst of pride in his heart. These young and vigorous scholars are indeed the best to encourage, and just a few words make them convinced of this. And as long as they are really making trouble, no matter how high Lu Jin's status is, it will not be easy to deal with it.

And in this way, not only can you keep yourself out of the matter safely, and you don't have to worry about being seen by the government, but also help the Kong family deal with this guy who still advocates opening the sea, and really kills two birds with one stone! Thinking of this, his eyes naturally showed a little smugness.

But just as everyone was about to break out of the door, several officials with sinking faces suddenly walked to the door, and swept their faces with a rather majestic gaze, which discouraged these scholars who were still excited. Whether it is Patten Dingzhen, or those teachings in the government school, there is still a lot of prestige in the hearts of these students, and the sudden appearance is naturally a little deterrent.

"What do you want to do? Is this taking the official's words as a deaf ear, or not taking his innocence seriously? Faced with the visit of a group of students, Peng Dingzhen ignored it at all, and taught with a cold face.

"The great master is angry, the students don't dare to ......" Seeing that the master of Tixue was angry, everyone was even more like a mouse seeing a cat, and quickly took two steps back, and then denied it.

"Hmph, there are many strange things in this case, how can you find out the truth by standing here?" Peng Dingzhen glanced at them fiercely again, and then he said something as if he had mentioned something.

It's a pity that these students have completely accepted Kong Lian's statement and believe that Lu Zhen is the culprit behind the scenes. Xiangzi Yan has always been kind to people on weekdays, and he never offends people, so he took everyone to ask for the people's life yesterday to make Governor Lu evil, so his death must have something to do with it! ”

"That's right, then Governor Lu must not be able to get out of it......" Just when everyone echoed, suddenly there was a sharp-eyed person, and at a glance he recognized that the young man who was standing in front of him and the others, who was standing a little higher than Master Tixue, was the Governor Lu who he had seen in front of the governor's yamen yesterday, and his face suddenly turned pale: "You ......"

With this startled point, everyone recognized the person, and suddenly one by one quickly changed color. First worried, and then the bold and more tempered guy shouted: "You murderer actually dare to come to my house to study? Do you still want to kill us? ”

"Grand Master, please be the master for us!"

"Great Grandmaster, when you spoke like that just now, weren't you coerced by him? Or is it that the officials protect each other, and in order to protect him, they would rather let their son die unjustly? ”……

As soon as he said a few words, the sentient beings became excited again, and kept shouting at these officials, as if they were unwilling to take a break. And their reaction also startled the officials, and He Yuan couldn't help but take a step back, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.

"Presumptuous! When did the official say that he would let Ziyan die in vain? But you have no evidence, just because of such a statement, you have determined that Governor Lu is the murderer, isn't it too arbitrary and nonsense? Patten immediately shouted and suppressed everyone's shouting.

Seeing that Lord Tixue was really angry, these finally stopped. But someone still had the courage to say: "But apart from him, the students really can't think of anything else to be strict with!" As he spoke, everyone stared at Lu Zhen fiercely, as if they were going to cut him with a thousand knives.

In the face of these eyes full of hatred and disdain, Lu Jin's face was indifferent, and he didn't take their threatening words and expressions seriously.

Yesterday in front of the governor's yamen, he had learned the skills of these scholars. Don't look at them at this time, they look like they are shouting and shouting to kill, but as long as the situation changes slightly, these guys will shrink faster than anyone else, so he really doesn't take them to heart.

However, what should be said still had to be said, so Lu Zhen turned his head to Peng Dingzhen beside him and said, "Peng Tixue, let the official say a few words to them." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, please say, sir. After a slight hesitation, Patten still stood back a little and gave up the protagonist's position.

Under the disgusted gaze of the sentient beings, Lu Zhen smiled and said, "You just insisted that this official was the murderer who killed Su Mu, then I have to ask, what did you rely on to make this inference?" Is it because he sinned against me yesterday? ”

"Isn't that enough? As the governor of a province, you naturally hold a grudge when you were so strict yesterday......"

"Then according to your wishes, I'm afraid you won't survive tomorrow." Lu Zhen sneered and said such a shocking sentence: "You shout and kill me, but you are not more offended than him." ”

These words immediately stunned everyone, and taking this opportunity, Lu Zhen continued: "That Su Mu did embarrass the official a little yesterday, but in the end, didn't he already suffer the consequences of his own evil and be severely punished? As a student, you should know very well what a severe punishment it is to be stripped of his fame, and since he has been punished in this way, why should the official even risk killing him? ”

"You...... Maybe the more you think about it, the more you can't swallow it, so you make such a move in anger. Seeing that everyone seemed to be asked by Lu Jin, Kong Lian couldn't help but open his mouth and forcibly explain.

"Ha, you really dare to say it." Lu Jin glanced at the other party thoughtfully, and when he was outside just now, he heard this voice constantly instigating everyone, which made him pay more attention to this ordinary-looking young scholar.

After a pause, he continued: "When human lives are at stake, you students who have read poetry and books and have been deeply taught by the saints are supposed to condemn a person based on a little guess? What is the difference between you doing this and disregarding human life? If the government adjudicates cases like you, how many unjust cases will there be in this world, and how many people will die because of this? Think for yourselves, is it right or wrong to make such an arbitrary accusation? ”

Although these words were not said in a hurry, the impact on these students was not small. After all, they are not bad people, and they are not confused to the point of distinguishing between right and wrong, and now they are asked by Lu Zhen in such a series of questions, and they are unconsciously in deep thought.

"Many of you will be going to gain fame and become officials in the court in the future. Maybe when you are in office, there will be a life lawsuit. Today, the official will come to tell you a little common sense that the book will not teach you, and this case is not based on speculation, but on evidence. He can only be convicted if he finds definite evidence that can designate the murderer. Otherwise, it is a mess of power, and it is a disregard for human life! Lu Zhen said with a serious expression: "Just like the murder case that happened in the school this time, even if someone deliberately let you infer that the official is the murderer, it is just speculation, and it is not accurate at all." Don't say that you are making noise here, even if you really went to the capital and complained to the emperor in front of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to fulfill your wish so casually. ”

These serious and very reasonable words made many people's faces burn, and they really felt a little ashamed. Seeing this, Peng Dingzhen was relieved, and it could be seen that Governor Lu could say this, at least he didn't blame them. If he really pursued these students because of this, he would be embarrassed as a local student.

After repaying the favor, Peng Tixue also said: "Do you know that when you were hiding here and pondering and criticizing Lord Futai, he had already found out a lot of clues in this case, and he must be able to catch the real murderer soon!" ”

"What?" Everyone was shocked again when they heard this, and Kong Lian's heart was even more tense, and his face obviously became a little pale: "This is impossible, he is not a god, I have arranged everything, and I will definitely not let him find out what is wrong......"

Since Peng Dingzhen said what he said, Lu Zhen no longer sold anything, only to see him nod, and said solemnly: "Yes, the strange case has been investigated." Although the murderer was extremely cunning and did not leave any clues around the deceased, he still made a lot of mistakes, as long as he waited for a while, he would have nothing to hide! ”

Hearing him say this, his eyes only swept back and forth on himself and the others, and no matter how sluggish the sentient beings were, they felt the meaning of his words. Someone plucked up the courage to ask, "What does the governor mean...... The murderer of Ziyan is among us? ”

"Chances are, or someone else in this school, or one of the people who still stayed here last night." Lu Zhen nodded in acknowledgement.

"How is this possible?" Immediately, someone shouted in disbelief, and then many students followed suit. In fact, if they don't believe it, they should not dare to accept it, after all, they were all here last night, and it would be difficult to say if they were suspicious.

Lu Zhen smiled, then patiently gave up his temperament and explained all the previous inferences. These analyses are all reasonable, and the sentient beings are speechless, and the objections that come to their lips are swallowed back again.

And such a scene made Kong Lian's whole heart hang high, this time, he was really scared......
