It was already midnight when Zhao Xin left, Fang Yun and others personally sent her to the gate of the backyard, she reached an agreement with Fang Yun and others to cooperate, and tomorrow Fang Yun will lead the students of Changsha Mansion to Wuchangwei to support Li Hongyu.

The so-called solidarity does not directly support Li Hongyu, but puts pressure on the officials who are trying the case, so that they can try the case fairly as soon as possible, so as not to delay Li Hongyu's township test.

In return, the students of Xiangyang Mansion will also support the students of Changsha Mansion and urge the government to solve the case of Xu Tao's murder as soon as possible.

"This kid is really troublesome, I don't know if that Li Hongyu is even more difficult than him!" In front of the backyard gate, looking at Zhao Xin's distant back, a student said to Fang Yun, who was in the lead, with emotion.

It was the first time he had seen someone who could have the upper hand in front of Fang Yun, and Zhao Xin only ranked second in the Xiangyang Mansion Children's Exam, which made him feel a little jealous of Li Hongyu, who had won the first place in the case.

"According to the news from Xiangyang Mansion, Li Hongyu is just a timid nerd, so there is nothing to be afraid of." At this time, Han Tai sneered, he already knew about Li Hongyu's situation, so he didn't take Li Hongyu to heart at all.

After all, not everyone who can get a good score in the imperial examination has a superhuman IQ and emotional intelligence, and many people are nerds who can only study to death, although they can get enviable results in the exam, but they are not worthy of mention in terms of scheming.

Fang Yun didn't answer, just silently stared in the direction where Zhao Xin disappeared, his brows furrowed slightly, although the information he had also showed that Li Hongyu was an introverted and cowardly person, but was this really the case? Would such a person injure Zhang Quan, a noble little marquis, under impulse?

Perhaps, only after dealing with Li Hongyu can we know who he is, Fang Yun was a little eager to meet the head of the Xiangyang Mansion who made Zhao Xin willing to go to prison together.

As the saying goes, people gather by like, and things are grouped, with such a high IQ, would Zhao Xin become a confidant of life and death with a timid person? This made Fang Yun a little difficult to understand.

Fang Yun felt that he would be able to meet Li Hongyu soon, if he didn't guess wrong, Li Hongyu should be able to catch up with this township test, in addition to the students in Wuchang City who would exert huge pressure on the government, the intervention of the Chu Wangfu was also an important reason, it was hard to imagine that Li Hongyu actually had such a friendship with the Chu Wangfu, and even made the people from the Chu Wangfu break into Wuchangwei to save people.

At this moment, Fang Yun only knew that the people from the Chu Palace's Mansion had broken into Wuchangwei and didn't know that Zhu Shengchang was involved, otherwise he would be even more surprised in his heart.

As for Li Hongyi's fate, Fang Yun can also be sure that no matter whether Li Hongyi is a murderer or not, the government will convict the candidates in Wuchang City before the township examination in order to appease the candidates.

The next morning, an astonishing scene occurred outside the gate of Wuchangwei, and from early in the morning, students wearing blue robes rushed to the scene, gathering in groups in the street in front of the door and whispering.

With the passage of time, more and more students came from all directions, and gathered in front of Wuchangwei, which not only attracted a large number of people to watch, but also shocked the people of Wuchangwei, as if facing a great enemy.

Liu Yi had already mobilized people to go to the street in front of the door to maintain order, so as not to have any accidents, otherwise he would not be able to eat and walk around.

At the same time, Liu Yi sent people to the Huguang Dusi Yamen to ask for help, in case those soldiers made trouble, the soldiers of Wuchangwei who maintained order would not be of any use at all, even if they gave those soldiers a hundred dares, they would not dare to do anything to those students.

Moreover, Liu Yi has already issued a death order, prohibiting the soldiers from clashing with the living, if they don't fight back, they don't scold back, and whoever violates the order will be punished severely.

In order to avoid accidents, those soldiers who maintained order did not carry weapons at all, if any of those soldiers had a hot mind and used weapons against the students, then the consequences would be unimaginable, and Huguang's township test would definitely be affected, not to mention Liu Yi, this responsibility could not even be borne by the governor.

Fortunately, although there were many people gathered in Wuchangwei, they were orderly and did not act excessively.

The reason why this is so is because there are Zhao Xin and the leaders of the fifteen prefectures and two prefectures of Huguang at the scene, after all, no one wants to cause any big trouble when the township is approaching now, otherwise more than ten years of hard work will come to naught.

Zhao Xin's purpose is to put pressure on the government, otherwise she would not choose Wuchangwei but the governor yamen, what she needs is to make the government end Li Hongyu's case before the township test, and give Li Hongyu justice.

In this way, Li Hongyu can participate in the township test, so she must control the situation at the scene to avoid accidents, once a conflict breaks out, it will be unfavorable to Li Hongyu's case.

To be honest, Zhao Xin felt quite nervous in the face of the situation in front of her, after all, it was the first time she had experienced this kind of scene, and there were as many as two or three thousand people on the scene.

However, Zhao Xin can now be said to have been forced to Liangshan, so he can only grit his teeth and resist the pressure, give orders in an orderly manner, strive to coordinate the relationship between all parties, and maintain order on the scene through Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng and other leaders of the state capitals, and dare not have the slightest slack and sloppiness.

In fact, Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng and other leaders of the state capital admired Zhao Xin a lot, but they didn't expect that Zhao Xin, who looked a little thin, would be able to suppress such a big scene, and it was not easy to make the scene with thousands of people orderly.

Wu Changwei, Council Hall.

Liu Yi walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back restlessly, his face was full of anxious looks, according to the news he had received, the students from all the state capitals who had come to Wuchang to participate in the township test had gathered outside Wuchang Wei, which made him feel more stressed and restless.

Once those students outside the door rush into Wu Changwei under the instigation, then his life will be over, this will not only be a shame, but also enough to make him lose his official position and resign, there is no doubt that as the commander of Wu Changwei, he will come to bear this black cauldron.

Liu Yi definitely wanted to end Li Hongyu's case as soon as possible, but he couldn't do anything, although he was the chief judge of the Yamen of the Weisu Yamen in Li Hongyu's case, but he also had the commander of the Du Si Yamen who was sent to supervise the case.

In fact, he was just a nominal presiding judge, in other words, a puppet who acted at the behest of the Dusi Yamen, and had no power to decide how to try the case.

In Li Hongyu's case, even the third division of Huguang only has the share of suggestions, and the real decision-making power is in the hands of the governor of Huguang, and as the highest official of Huguang, this case can only be decided with his approval.

Therefore, Leo Yi had no way to face the students in front of the door, and could not give them any promises, so he could only wait for the instructions of his boss to act.

"Second son, you have to save me." Just when Liu Yi was at a loss, Cui Gongzi walked in from outside the door, and he immediately greeted him like a life-saving straw, and now the only thing he can count on is Cui Gongzi.

"Lord Liu, you're just an errand runner, there's no need to worry about it."

Cui Gongzi stretched his waist and said to Liu Yi disappreciatively, "Don't worry, the leaders among those students are smart people, their purpose is to put pressure on the government, and they will definitely not act rashly, all you have to do is wait with peace of mind, and the people above will deal with this matter." ”

"Second son, what should I do if they want to see the head of the Li case?" Liu Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked worriedly, he didn't have the right to let others see Li Hongyu.

"Then let them meet." Cui Gongzi glanced at Liu Yi and said quietly.

"Yes...... But that's not in order. Liu Yi's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, it was obvious that outsiders could not be allowed to contact the criminal before the case was tried, and Li Hongyu's case was in the spotlight, and it was impossible for outsiders to see Li Hongyu.

"Lord Liu, no one can help you now, you can only rely on yourself now." Cui Gongzi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully to Liu Yi, "Since the law does not allow Li to see outsiders, then you can find a way to be flexible, so that everyone can get what they get and get along." ”

"Flexible?" Liu Yi's brows furrowed, what Cui Gongzi said was right, now he can only save himself, and no one else can count on him.

"Take care of the little marquis, don't let him cause any more trouble, otherwise it will be a big trouble." Cui Gongzi gave Liu Yi a word of instruction and walked away, led a few entourages to leave Wuchangwei through the back door, and hurried to see Zhu Shengchang.

He has to find a way to suppress the things in the torture room, not only so that the case of Li Hongyu and Zhang Quan can be successfully concluded, but also to protect his father from being implicated in the case.

If this matter is poked out, Cui Du's commander will at least be charged with lax control, and he will lose his official position because of this matter, after all, many people are staring at the position of the commander of Huguang Dudu, Cui Gongzi naturally has to take precautions and not bring trouble to his father.

In addition, Cui Gongzi didn't want Zhu Shengchang to fight with Zhang Quan, and he would be caught between the two at that time, and he would be in a dilemma, so it was better to resolve the misunderstanding between the two.

At three o'clock, Zhao Xin, Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng, Yang Renxiao and other student leaders came to the hundred households on duty at the gate of Wuchangwei, and wanted to go in to see Liu Yi.

The hundred households on duty did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Liu Yi, Liu Yi felt a headache about this, although he did not want to see Zhao Xin and the others, but he had to do so, so as not to make trouble among those students.

Therefore, the hundred households quickly invited Zhao Xin and the others into the meeting hall of Wu Changwei, which attracted the soldiers along the way to look at Zhao Xin and his party curiously, Wu Changwei had never had so many students since its establishment, and he was also the leader of the seventeen state capitals in Huguang.

"I've seen Commander Liu." After entering the conference hall, Zhao Xin and the others bowed to Liu Yi, who was sitting on the seat in front of them, and they all had merit and fame, so they naturally didn't need to kneel.

"You may be seated." Liu Yi smiled and stretched out his hand, quietly motioning for Zhao Xin and his party to sit down, but he felt extremely nervous in his heart, secretly guessing that they were coming, in case these students made any excessive demands, he would have to sit on wax.

"Commander Liu, I am here this time to submit a joint letter of examination candidates from the 15 prefectures and two prefectures of Huguang, hoping that the government can fairly and impartially try the Linjianglou case and conclude it as soon as possible."

The students didn't mean to sit down, Zhao Xin, who was standing at the front, stepped forward, looked at Liu Yi with a serious expression, and said after arching his hand.

As he spoke, Yang Renxiao, Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng, who were following behind, took out the joint letters of the students of their respective state capitals from their arms and held them in their hands, obviously putting pressure on the government.

"This is natural, this case has already alarmed the governor, and the government will naturally try it carefully." Liu Yi replied in a deep voice when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Xin more.

Although it was the first time he had seen Zhao Xin, he had already guessed Zhao Xin's identity from Zhao Xin's handsome appearance and status among the sentient beings, and knew that the extremely handsome young student in front of him was Li Hongyu's friend Zhao Xin, who had been running around for Li Hongyu's affairs since yesterday.

"Commander Liu, how long will it take to conclude this case?" Zhao Xin knew that Liu Yi was perfunctory to her, so she asked with a serious expression.

"This official is not clear, but the government will find out the case as soon as possible."

Liu Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said seriously, he couldn't answer this question at all, because even he didn't know when Li Hongyu's case would be closed.

"Commander Liu, I was in Linjiang Tower at the time of the next time, and what happened above is clear in the next place, the case is very simple, there is no need to delay for such a long time, and I am willing to testify in the court trial."

The corners of Zhao Xin's mouth couldn't help but flash a sneer, and he looked at Liu Yi with a cold expression and said, "Now that the township exam is imminent, Case Chief Li shouldn't delay taking the exam, this is unfair to a student who has studied hard for many years, and it also chills the hearts of the world's scholars." ”

"There is nothing the official can do about this matter, and when the case can be concluded depends on the progress of the trial."

Liu Yi suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was really afraid of something, he really couldn't meet Zhao Xin's request, and the decision on whether Li Hongyu could participate in the township test was obviously not in his hands.

"Commander Liu, if the head of the case Li can't participate in the township test, then he won't participate either." Zhao Xin knew that Liu Yi couldn't be the master, so he pondered for a while, looked at him solemnly and said, "I have been reading the book of sages since I was a child, and I really can't sit back and watch the head of Li's case be wronged!" ”

Hearing this, not only Liu Yi, but even Yang Renxiao and others who were standing behind Zhao Xin were taken aback, no one thought that Zhao Xin would gamble on his future.

"I won't take the township test in the next place." After the initial stunned, Yang Renxiao stepped forward and said to Liu Yi with an expressionless face.

Although Yang Renxiao hates Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu is an applicant for the examination in Xiangyang Mansion after all, and at the same time, Li Hongyu's fate is linked to Qin Yue, so he should support Zhao Xin in both public and private.

"It's the same down there."

A subtle smile flashed at the corner of Fang Yun's mouth, and he stepped forward and said to Liu Yi quietly, the matter has come to this point, and the government must be eager to close the case as soon as possible and settle the matter, and besides, there is the intervention of the Chu Palace, so he thinks that the government will definitely release Li Hongyu before the township test.

Moreover, this is an excellent opportunity to make a name for himself, how can he let go of this golden opportunity, he can be sure that the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital will definitely know what is happening in Wuchang City, and they will not be considered unknown in front of those imperial court forces at that time.

"I won't take the township test in the next place." At the same time, a student stood up with Fang Yun, this student was Shen Bocheng, the head of the Wuchang Mansion Tong Trial, his eyes flickered a little, and he obviously had the same idea as Fang Yun.

Since the two of them spoke at the same time, Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng couldn't help but glance at each other, and then bowed their heads slightly, they were both influential figures in Huguang Shilin, so they had a few encounters.

"You shouldn't take the test either." Seeing that Fang Yun and Shen Bocheng both expressed their attitudes, the remaining students in the hall looked at each other and took a step forward in unison.

Liu Yi couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the scene in front of him in dismay, he felt that these students were crazy, and they even joked about their future, you must know how many scholars have never had the opportunity to participate in the township examination in their lives, and these people actually gave up like this.

What is particularly important is that these people in the hall are the leaders of the students of the fifteen prefectures and two prefectures of Huguang, and if they boycott the examination, then the students of the fifteen prefectures and two prefectures will also boycott the examination, so this will be a big event that will shake the government and the opposition.

Liu Yi couldn't imagine the consequences of the boycott, at that time, Emperor Wanli would definitely be furious, not to mention him, even the governor would be unlucky.
