The prefect's yamen sent a message to try the case, and a group of students and the people of Ruyang County came to the front hall one after another, waiting for the promotion to the court.

Above the public court, there are two large wooden signs on both sides of the tree "avoid" and "quiet".

The yacha standing on both sides shouted in unison: "Wei! Military! ”

This voice was solemn and low, making people nervous unconsciously, and Shen Kang actually felt a little suppressed by this aura.

Bai Zhifu wore a black veil on his head, a regimental leader uniform embroidered with crimson Yunyan, and a belt around his waist, strode to the public hall and sat down.

At this time, Xu Cong was brought in by the yacha from outside the door. He knelt on the ground with a "plop" and shouted, "My lord, the student has a complaint to sue!" ”

Shen Kang, Wang Lucao, and even the students who watched from the back of the hall were stunned.

How could it be him?

After thinking about it, this is Xu Cong wanting to avenge his uncle!

should have found Shen Kang, but he had no way to start, so he could only find it from Wang Lucao.

Shen Kang frowned slightly, turned his eyes to look at Wang Lucao, and said with a wry smile: "This time, it was the younger brother who affected Brother Wang." ”

As soon as he saw that it was him, Wang Lucao calmed down, he smiled, looked at Xu Cong, and said, "When is the time for retribution?" ”

Xu Cong looked at him angrily, glanced at Shen Kang and said, "If you have revenge, you won't take revenge, it's not a gentleman." ”

I only heard a "pop", and the crisp sound of the startling wood came, and Bai Zhifu asked sharply: "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

The three of them raised their eyes at the same time to look at Bai Zhifu, Xu Cong arched his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Student Xu Cong, reply to the adult's words." The Taicang Wang family settled in Xiping County, and actually privately set up a house on the top of the mountain in the house, and privately used the beam that exceeded the system, and the crime was complicity and rebellion. He pointed to Shen Kang and said: "This student and Wang Lucao are close friends, knowing about this matter, covering up and not reporting it, the crime is the same as the Wang family, please learn from it!" ”

Bai Qichang's heart went up and down, looking at them with anxiety.

Bai Zhifu asked, "Wang Lucao, Shen Kang, what do you two have to say?" ”

Wang Lucao bowed his head slightly, and replied: "There is no beam in the palace that exceeds the system, and what Xu Cong said is a rebellion, and it is a slanderous remark to vent his personal anger, which is unfounded, please be aware of it." ”

Shen Kang arched his hand and said towards Bai Zhifu: "Student Shen Kang, I have something to say." ”

Bai Zhifu spread his hands and said, "Speak." ”

Shen Kang slowly and calmly narrated: "The student was fortunate to be invited by Brother Wang to go to the palace as a guest. The Wang family belongs to the Wang family of Taicang, and when the students go to the palace, they see the elegant and modest style everywhere, which really lives up to the style of the heirloom of poetry and books. As for the beam in Brother Xu's mouth, it is unheard of and unseen. ”

He turned his eyes to look at Xu Cong and asked, "Brother Xu, has he ever been to the Wang family?" Have you seen or heard the transgressive beam in your mouth? If you see it with your own eyes, dare to ask, when did you see it? If you come here to sue Brother Wang just by hearing about it, it is a false accusation without verification! When my Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was alive, he set the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and Brother Xu knew that falsely accusing others would result in eighty strokes and three years imprisonment! And depending on its severity, it can also be sentenced heavily! You falsely accused Brother Wang's family of intending to rebel, but you want to spend the rest of your life in the prefect's prison? ”

Shen Kang spoke slowly, but his tone was a little heavier, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, without a hint of threat, just stating the facts.

Lin Xuanzhi in the hall smiled and said to his classmates on the side: "Clear thoughts, iron teeth and copper teeth, this Shen Kang's lips and tongue are really amazing." ”

The young man on the side smiled and said, "It is said that Zhao Gong has also been a pair of iron and bronze teeth since he was a child, could it be that this son is like Zhao Gong and was born with a sage mouth?" ”

"Haha." Lin Xuanzhi smiled, his gaze turned back to the court, and the tension in his heart disappeared.

Xu Cong looked at Shen Kang with resentful eyes and said, "You still want to deny it now?" He smiled and said, "My lord, the student has a certificate!" But he didn't say a word about what he saw or heard.

Bai Zhifu turned his eyes to look at the master, as if asking.

The master thought for a moment, stepped forward and leaned in his ear and said, "Xu Cong didn't mention witnesses before. ”

Bai Zhifu nodded, looked at Xu Cong, and said, "Who can testify for you?" ”

Xu Cong smiled confidently and said, "It's the third son of the prefect's mansion, Bai Qichang." ”

As soon as these words came out, they were shocked.

Jiang Liuxuan looked at Bai Qichang sideways, and said suspiciously: "Brother Bai? What is he talking about? ”

Bai Qichang's lips trembled slightly, and he only heard Xu Cong in the hall say clearly: "Bai Qichang was a guest in the palace, witnessed the Wang family's overstepping of the system, and personally informed the students of this matter. ”

He's trying to pull them all into the water!

Shen Kang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "Brother Xu, there must be evidence to open the river, Xuan Yi will kill himself if he commits many injustices, and he really deserves it." If you falsely accuse your classmates like this, you won't have a good reputation? ”

Shen Kang figured it out in a moment, no matter whether this matter came from Bai Qichang's mouth or not, today's situation was not something that Xu Cong could design.

He thought of the four major academies, Zheng Dongmen, and Qiu Zhicun, and quickly connected them all.

Zheng Dongmen was jealous of Mr. Haoran and implicated his disciples. He wanted to make Qiu Zhicun stand out from the competition of the four major academies, use Xu Cong, and use this case to clear the way for Qiu Zhicun. More importantly, it is to discredit Mr. Haoran.

Shen Kang knew very little about ancient architecture, and he really didn't know what taboos the Wang family's architecture had committed, but he was really worried when he heard Xu Cong's words.

If so, what should he do?

When Bai Zhifu heard Xu Cong's words, his eyes became darker and darker. This Xu Cong, when he reported the case, he only said that Wang Lucao and Shen Kang committed a big crime, and deliberately did not mention Bai Qichang and Jiang Liusu, but now when he arrived in the lobby, he began to climb, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger, which is really hateful.

There is a major case of rebellion in the territory under his jurisdiction, which will affect the political performance, not to mention that his own son is also involved!

Jiang Liusu walked out of the back hall in a few steps, bowed his hand to Bai Zhifu, then knelt on the ground with his robe, and said in a loud voice: "Bai Zhifu, the student Jiang Liusu has also been to the Wang family as a guest, if the Wang family has exceeded the rules, everyone you see is guilty of the same crime, please treat the students for their crimes." ”

This is said simply, but also with some childish anger.

How could Bai Zhifu convict Jiang Liuchou so easily? He frowned slightly and shouted, "Heir card, Bai Qichang!" The tone was already angry.

Bai Qichang hasn't thought about how to say it, the Wang family's house beam is indeed out of control, if he changes his words at this moment and says no, he will also be involved when the government verifies it. If so? How will he deal with gossip in the future?

Xu Cong even wanted to hurt him!

Bai Qichang was often taken out of the crowd by the yacha, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Lucao, as if he was asking.

Wang Lucao smiled and didn't give him any hints.

In just a moment, Bai Qichang turned his head and knelt on his knees: "Student Bai Qichang, knock on the prefect." ”

The polite and distant tone makes people hallucinate, is the father and son just strangers with the same surname?

Bai Zhifu was used to it, and asked: "Bai Qichang, this mansion asks you, have you seen the beam of the over-system in the Wang family?" And inform Xu Cong about this? ”

Bai Qichang seemed to be able to hear the beating of his heart, and he hesitated, hesitated.

Wang Lu'an, Sun Zhou, Song Yuan and others in the back hall looked at him with expectant eyes, hoping that he could decisively deny the matter.

Jiang Liuxuan turned his eyes to look at him: "Brother Bai..."
