Xie Binglian ran into a wall outside one after another to eat behind closed doors, and Xie Bingxiao, who was already in the mansion, didn't know about it, so he didn't have the feeling that the Xie family building was about to collapse. However, after arriving at the palace, he was clearly feeling a strong sense of unease.

After bringing himself and Xie Jingchang here, the two were placed separately, and now Xie Bingxiao is locked in a small room, although it is not a prison cell, but this feeling of not seeing people and not knowing what variables are outside is really too tormenting.

His eyes fell heavily on the ground in front of him, and Xie Bingxiao's face was full of worry. This time, without his knowledge at all, Xie Jingchang actually did such a bold thing, and actually offended the government and the criminal department. Now, now that people are fighting back, it's not so simple to ensure their own safety.

Especially the attitude that the government directly brought to him this time made him a little unpredictable. If you want to ask for a crime, you can open a court now to ask for clarification. But this is just the practice of putting themselves under house arrest, which shows that they have other plans. What will it be?

An idea came to mind, would they use Xie Jingchang as a breakthrough to expand this crime and plant it all on the Xie family? This is very possible, especially the government official who personally brought his uncle and nephew back to sentence Lu Jin, although he has only met him for such a short time, this young man has left a deep impression on him, this is a ruthless character.

Now that he is not at home, he is ...... again Everything can only rely on the second child to run outside, can he find the rescuer in time? Although his family also has a backer in Nanjing, he can't save the fire from far away, so he only hopes that the political secretary or Wu Miao can help him in the light of his love over the years.

A kind of artificial knife, my deep sense of powerlessness for fish and meat spread in Xie Bingxiao's heart little by little over time, making him more and more uneasy. It wasn't until the closed door was suddenly opened that he realized that it was the next morning......

@@@@@

Unlike Xie Bingxiao, who was only under house arrest after being taken to the mansion, Xie Jingchang was quickly brought to Lu Jin. At this time, there were not only a dozen or so government officials armed with sticks in the hall, but also a young green-robed official as a secretary, who was Qian Manjiang.

Seeing Xie Jingchang who was escorted in, Lu Zhen was not polite, and immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Who is in the hall, don't kneel down and reply when you see this official?" With his voice, the officers on both sides also shouted: "Kneel! ”

His gaze full of resentment and hatred stared straight at Lu Jin's face, and Xie Jingchang hated that his gaze could turn into a sharp arrow and shoot the guy in front of him into a hedgehog. It is because of him that he has become the laughing stock of countless people in Hangzhou, and even those friends in the past always laugh at themselves for the things that day.

And this time, not only was he not harmed by his own calculations, but took the initiative to attack himself, and he also took himself and his uncle to the government, which was really unacceptable to him. Isn't it just a general judgment, where did he have the confidence to dare to speak to himself like this!

The anger in his heart made him ignore Lu Jin's reprimand, just stared straight at the other party, and didn't react for a long time. Lu Jin didn't seem to be able to wait, and immediately shouted: "Come on, press him down for me to speak!" ”

Just when the servants on both sides stepped forward to make a move, Xie Jingchang shouted: "Slow." I have the identity of a showman, and I can see officials without kneeling! Seeing that he was about to suffer a loss, he finally reacted and hurriedly showed off his fame.

In the eyes of many later generations, Xiucai is the most despised title, so it is paired with derogatory words such as poor and sour, and it is called poor Xiucai or sour Xiucai. But in fact, for the scholars at this time, it is a great achievement to be able to pass the three major examinations of the county government and college, so as to show off their talents.

Because Xiucai, who is already regarded as the first-class taxi class in the four people's agricultural and industrial industries, has the power to exempt himself and his family from forced labor and taxes, can travel all over the world without issuing a road guide, and can also become a guest of officials, instead of having to kneel and kowtow when meeting officials like ordinary people...... These privileges have proved that Xiucai is already a member of the ruling class of this era.

Xie Jingchang's talent identity really made Lu Zhen a little difficult to deal with, so he had to snort, waved his hand to let the two errand officers who were about to step forward retreat, and then said in a calm tone: "It turns out that you are still a scholar, but it is disrespectful." Xie Jingchang, this official asks you, since you are also reading the sage book, you should know loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, why do you want to do such things today? ”

"Lord Lu's words, I can't understand what Zai Xia heard, I don't know what I did wrong, I actually asked my lord, you insist on bringing me from home to the government for questioning." Xie Jingchang finally calmed down temporarily, and in the face of the questioning, he first pretended to be stupid.

Lu Zhen smiled hesitantly: "What, Gongzi Xie, do you still dare to do it?" What happened on the execution ground today is now known all over the city, do you still want to deny it? ”

"Of course, I know what happened on the execution ground, but what does that have to do with me? Don't wronged the innocent, my lord. I, Xie Jingchang, have always been law-abiding, how could I do such a thing? Xie Jingchang's answer was without hesitation.

"Are you talking nonsense? Someone, bring me the card! Lu Zhen didn't go around in circles with the other party, and immediately slapped the table and ordered.

With this order, a jingle sound sounded from outside, and Xie Jingchang looked back, and his body trembled. For he saw a man covered in blood and scars being escorted in by several servants, and he had obviously suffered enough, and his injuries were not light, and if he had not been escorted, he would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen just smiled indifferently: "Xie Jingchang, do you recognize this person?" ”

Xie Jingchang naturally recognized at a glance that this guy with a high and swollen face was the idle man Wang Xiaosan in the city who had been ordered by himself to go to the execution ground to question and testify about Chang Wenyu's substitution for death. However, at this time, how could he admit that he knew this person, so he immediately shook his head: "I haven't seen him at all, I don't know who he is." ”

"Wang Xiaosan, you can hear it, if something happens, he will no longer recognize you." Lu Zhen glanced at the unlucky guy who had been thrown on the ground in front of him, and continued: "This Wang Xiaosan is the bold madman who caused an incident on the execution ground today and almost caused chaos among the people. And he, under the interrogation of my government just now, has already explained that it was you, Xie Jingchang, who paid him to do this! ”

"Haha......" Xie Jingchang was shocked at this time, and he could only hide his panic with laughter, and at the same time, his thoughts quickly turned in his heart. Soon, he had a saying: "My lord's argument is too unconvincing." This person is just an idler on the street, and he is not a slave of my Xie family, how can you be sure that he did this by me? ”

Seeing that he said it in an orderly manner, Lu Zhen was really stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Xie Jingchang struck the iron and said while the iron was hot: "Moreover, he has so many injuries on his body, he must have been tortured by the government office, you are beating him into a trick." With the means of the government office, it is not difficult to force a person to say the testimony he needs, but I want to ask Lord Lu, is this something you deliberately tricked me? Even if this matter is reported to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, the Criminal Division, or even the city of Nanjing, I will not admit it! ”

When Qian Manjiang heard him say this, he frowned unconsciously. It seems that Lu Zhen is going to have a headache this time, this guy looks like a fool, but he actually has some brains, and he can still come up with such a quibble. Moreover, the scars on Wang Xiaosan's body are indeed a problem, can Lu Zhen still have a way to untie this knot?

In fact, if he is replaced by another prisoner, even if he is really wronged, once the yamen can have a witness, and he refuses to admit his guilt, then he will have to use some means. But today's Xie Jingchang is a showman, and with this layer of identity protection, it is really difficult to attack him.

Lu Zhen also frowned as if he was distressed: "I said this, you actually don't recognize it, it's really a bit troublesome." It seems that only by torturing you can you tell the truth. ”

"Lord Lu, the yamen can't torture me, you don't know this, right?" Xie Jingchang stared at the other party defiantly.

Lu Zhen nodded: "Yes, you are a showman, this is really not easy to do." But ......" said this, his face suddenly sank: "What if you are no longer a showman?" ”

Just when Xie Jingchang was stunned, Lu Zhen had already said loudly: "Teach Zhou, please come in and speak." ”

A gray-haired junior official walked into the hall cautiously, and did not look at Xie Jingchang, who was full of surprise beside him, but just hugged his fist at Lu Zhen and said, "Xiaguan Zhou Ru has seen Lu Tong's judgment." ”

"Sectarian Zhou, as far as this official knows, as a county school advisor, you have the power to open up the revolution and show off your talents, I don't know if you can say it wrong?"

"Exactly." Zhou Jiaoyu replied: "Although it is rare to show off your fame, there are always some people who don't want to make progress and always violate the rules of the county school, so the lower officials have this power." ”

Lu Zhen glanced at Xie Jingchang: "As far as this official knows, this Gongzi Xie has not appeared in the county school since this year, let alone completed the homework assigned by Zhou Jiaoyou, I wonder if such a talent can get rid of his fame?" ”

"Lu Jin, you ......" Xie Jingchang's whole face was distorted, and he couldn't help but shout loudly, he was really a little panicked.

And Qian Manjiang on the side also looked incredulous, Lu Zhen actually prepared for this layer early, this guy's efficiency is really admirable, and his heart is cold.

At this time, Zhou Ru had already nodded slowly: "Indeed, Xie Jingchang is just a member of the Zengguang Sheng, and he has not wanted to make progress over the years, so Xia Guan has written a document a few days ago to remove his fame!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve......
