Chapter 113: Hanging (3rd Update)

While Zhao Xin was waiting in front of the backyard, in a wing room in the backyard, several students from Changsha Mansion were there discussing the prospect of continuing tomorrow to put pressure on the governor in front of the governor's yamen to severely punish Li Hongyi, the murderer.

"Brother Fang, the one surnamed Zhao didn't leave after I robbed him, and he was waiting outside the door in vain."

The door opened, and the student who had been talking to Zhao Xin in front of the courtyard gate walked in quickly, and said to a gentle and elegant man in the room, this man was naturally Fang Yun.

"This person is really thick-skinned, do you have to let us give an eviction order!" A student's face sank when he heard this, and he said quite dissatisfied, "He thinks that with a touch of his upper and lower lips, he can resolve this life lawsuit in a few words?" ”

"yes, they can't be so cheap!" The words of this student immediately resonated with everyone at the scene, and they all said indignantly, the so-called people cannot be resurrected after death, and this time the enmity between the students of Xiangyang Mansion and the students of Changsha Mansion can be great.

"Brother Han, do you think we should meet this Zhao Xin?" Fang Yun pondered for a moment and looked up at a man with a Chinese character face sitting on the side.

This young man's name is Han Tai, who is nearly 30 years old, three years ago in Changsha Province, the first child test, and is also the first in the scientific examination, should have been in the examination three years ago, but unfortunately the day before the township test suddenly got a sudden illness vomiting and diarrhea, resulting in missing the township test.

In this year's scientific expedition in Changsha Mansion, Hankook was accidentally defeated by the rising star Fang Yun, and only came in second.

In fact, if it weren't for Shen Bocheng's geographical advantage, he and Fang Yun would have the same odds of becoming the solution to the township test this time, but this is Wuchang City after all, and the casinos in the city will naturally be biased towards Shen Bocheng.

Seeing Fang Yun speak, the students in the room quieted down one after another, and looked at Han Tai in unison, wanting to hear Han Tai's opinion.

"That Zhao Xin came this time for no more than two purposes, one is to intercede with Li Hongyi, and the other is to find help to save Li Hongyu."

Han Tai thought about it when he heard this, then looked at Fang Yun in a deep voice and said, "I heard that this Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu are good friends, and the two once squatted in the prison of Xiangyang County together, so I think he should be here for Li Hongyu this time." ”

"I think so too." Fang Yun smiled slightly when he heard this, and seemed quite agreeable with what Han Tai said.

Although Li Hongyu is not as popular as him and Shen Bocheng, after all, he is the head of the three yuan of the Xiangyang Mansion Tong Test, and he is also one of the popular figures in the township test to solve the yuan, compared with Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng, his only deficiency is that he did not participate in the scientific examination of Xiangyang Mansion.

It is worth mentioning that because Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Yang Renxiao did not take the exam, the first place in the scientific examination of Xiangyang Mansion was Wang Kuiju, who stood out from the sentient beings of Xiangyang Mansion.

In addition, because Zhu Wanting bet heavily on Li Hongyu, the casino in Wuchang City had to reduce Li Hongyu's odds to one to two, second only to Shen Bocheng and Fang Yun in terms of odds, so it has become famous among Huguangsheng.

It is important to point out that the odds of the casino are usually not easily changed, and for those who have a low chance of winning the township test, the casino will be indifferent even if they spend more money, because it is clearly giving money to the casino.

Unless the casino realizes the increased risk and has to change the odds, this is the case with casinos in Xiangyang Province and casinos in Wuchang City.

When Zhu Wanting smashed 100,000 taels of silver on Li Hongyu's body in one go, the casino will ask the relevant personnel to re-evaluate Li Hongyu, and then reduce Li Hongyu's odds to one to two.

Generally speaking, this phenomenon is relatively rare, which means that the casino cannot control the risk of Li Hongyu winning the township test, and then has to reduce Li Hongyu's odds to avoid the risk.

In fact, when Li Hongyu's odds were lowered, many gamblers were attracted to bet on him, after all, gamblers have a psychology of following the trend, and no one would believe that someone would bet heavily on Li Hongyu for no reason.

This makes Li Hongyu a strong opponent of Xie Yuan's popular students such as Shen Bocheng and Fang Yun, and everyone will naturally care about his news.

Fang Yun was really taken aback after learning about Li Hongyu's experience, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to be imprisoned for being falsely accused by a widow before the government exam, and he really suffered thirty boards, but even so, he still participated in the government exam and won the first place, which really surprised him.

If it were him, he might have given up the government examination and chose to recuperate, and set his goal on the scientific examination, anyway, after becoming the head of the county examination, he had already won the reputation of the county examination.

Moreover, Fang Yun was shocked and envious of the friendship between Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, he really couldn't imagine that Zhao Xin would choose to go to prison with Li Hongyu to take care of him before the government exam, in his opinion, Zhao Xin's move was undoubtedly crazy.

In the past, Fang Yun only knew that Yang Renxiao was the rising star of Xiangyang Shilin, but he didn't expect that the results of the children's examination in Xiangyang Mansion surprised him, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin both defeated Yang Renxiao and won the first and second places in the children's examination, which also made Yang Renxiao give up participating in the subsequent scientific examination.

The reason is very simple, Yang Renxiao is a high-minded and arrogant person, since Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin do not participate in the scientific examination, what is the point of him even if he wins the first place? will only be ridiculed by people that there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are overlords.

Originally, after learning that Li Hongyi had a death lawsuit in Mingyue Pavilion, Fang Yun also wanted to see how Li Hongyu, who was Li Hongyi's cousin, would respond, but he never expected that Li Hongyu would make a big move in Linjiang Tower and injure Zhang Quan, who was trying to insult Qin Yue.

This shocked Fang Yun, no matter what, he couldn't have imagined that Li Hongyu would be so impulsive and ruin his blossoming future.

In fact, when Fang Yun learned the news of Li Hongyu's accident in front of the governor's yamen, he had already guessed that Zhao Xin would come to find him, after all, Zhang Quan was not so easy to deal with, and only by uniting those candidates in Wuchang City could he take advantage of the upcoming township test to save Li Hongyu's life.

Of course, the premise of this is that Li Hongyu is still alive, if Li Hongyu dies in the prison of the Yamen of the Guard, then all the efforts of Zhao Xin and others will come to naught.

It's just that Fang Yun never imagined that the people from the Chu Palace's mansion would go to Wuchangwei's prison to save Li Hongyu, which made him very curious about Li Hongyu's identity and couldn't figure out who Li Hongyu was.

"Brother Han, you were present when Mingyue Pavilion's case happened, do you think Li Hongyi would have drunk and promiscuously because he had been punched a few times before, so that he would commit murder?" Under the gaze of everyone, Fang Yun frowned and pondered for a while, and asked Han Tai in a deep voice.

"Brother Fang, do you think the case was not done by Li Hongyi?" Han Tai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Fang Yun with some surprise.

"I just think it's a pity that a person who has been studying hard for many years would make such an unforgivable mistake." Fang Yun shook his head, sighed and said, as if he felt extremely sorry for Li Hongyi's killing.

"He deserves it!" At this time, a student sneered and said, not sympathizing with Li Hongyi, who was murderous, at all.

When Fang Yun heard this, a wry smile couldn't help flashing at the corner of his mouth, he felt that as soon as he mentioned the matter of Mingyue Pavilion, everyone would be emotional, after all, the dead Xu Tao was very popular and had made a lot of friends.

In fact, Fang Yun had doubts about the affairs of Mingyue Pavilion, and felt that there were many unsolved mysteries in the case, first of all, it was very doubtful why Xu Tao appeared in the courtyard, he didn't think that Li Hongyi could call Xu Tao out, Xu Tao was not a fool, how could he go out with someone who had just had a conflict.

In addition, it is undoubtedly an unreasonable plot that the murder weapon will appear in Xu Tao's room, imagine which murderer would take the murder weapon home instead of trying to discard it?

It's a pity that although Fang Yun has some doubts in his heart, he can't show it, he can only keep silent about the current situation, otherwise he will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of those Changsha Mansion students.

Han Tai glanced at Fang Yun and frowned slightly, obviously surprised by Fang Yun's mention of the matter of Mingyue Pavilion.

You must know that the current Changsha Mansion is a common enemy because of Xu Tao's death, and he has already been carried away by anger, and he only thinks about making Li Hongyi's blood debt repaid, and he will not think that Li Hongyu has been wronged at all.

"Get rid of that guy surnamed Zhao, they killed our people and want us to help him save people, it's just whimsical!" Seeing that the scene fell silent, the former student who went to see Zhao Xin sneered and said that he had a very good relationship with the dead Xu Tao, and was naturally full of hostility towards Zhao Xin.

"Brother Han, what do you see?" Fang Yun groaned for a moment when he heard this, and asked Han Tai quietly.

"Brother Fang, the little marquis is doing evil and unscrupulous in Wuchang City, we can't sit idly by and watch Li Hongyu's affairs, otherwise we will lose the integrity of the literati and be laughed at by the people in the other state capitals." Han Tae glanced around at the crowd and said solemnly to Fang Yun.

The students present couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and then fell silent, although they were unwilling to help Li Hongyu, but Han Tai was right, Li Hongyu's matter was not just a personal grudge, but related to the integrity and character of the literati.

If they turn a blind eye to Zhang Quan, the son of a noble who is evil, then they are not worthy of participating in the imperial examination at all, and even if they step into the official career, they have no future at all, and their unbearable reputation will affect them all.

"Brothers, I also feel that Li Hongyu's matter has nothing to do with personal grudges, and we can't sit back and watch the little marquis do evil here." Fang Yun saw that everyone was silent, so he said quietly, "However, we can't let Zhao Xin see us easily." ”

"Brother Fang, do you mean to hang him?" Han Tai suddenly understood what Fang Yun meant, and asked in a deep voice.

"Since he's here to ask for help, there must be a little bit of patience." Fang Yun smiled slightly when he heard this, his eyes flashed with a fine light, he was ready to test Zhao Xin's patience, so that he would have an advantage when he was waiting for the next negotiation.
