Chapter 285: Sophistry
Rong looked at the group of people lightly, with a burst of disdain, to see what else they had to say now!
"The thief shouted to catch the thief, I saw it today." Lu Chengyan scoffed.
Li Jing's face turned blue and red for a while, and after a while, he suddenly looked in the direction of Yin Sheng, and arched his hand: "We are students of Shangshantang, and we have always done things frankly, today I really thought that the teahouse accidentally caught fire, and for the safety of the people, we came to report to the official, and there is no intention to frame us." ”
Rong sneered lightly and said, "Is this still for the safety of the people?" Could it be that you deliberately set the fire for the safety of the people? It's just that I'm unwilling, and there's no cheap to take advantage of, so I'm just going to hit a rake! Is this the way you do it? I've also seen a lot. “
Li Jing gritted his teeth and said: "Young Lady Lu wants to slander us, we have always been frank and open, this cloth was accidentally burned and dropped when we went in to investigate the situation, and it was not us who deliberately set it on fire." ”
The person who collapsed over there had already been erected, but his whole face was pale, and cold sweat was soaring on his head, as if he had lost his soul.
Rong smiled lightly, she has not been such a brazen person, human and material evidence can reverse right and wrong, and she will not admit it.
Lu Chengyan seemed to have expected it, and suddenly turned to look at the group of witnesses: "Uncle Liu, I remember that you said that you were the first to discover the fire, and then put out the fire with the surrounding neighbors. ”
As soon as Lu Chengyan said this, Li Jing's face over there suddenly turned to ashes.
Uncle Liu stood up, hesitated for a long time, and did not speak.
At this time, the shopkeeper Wang looked at him calmly and said, "Uncle Liu, I know that you can't bear it, and I can't bear it either. I can't bear it for more than ten years, I have always set the lowest price, try to be as convenient as possible with the students, and what did I get? It's common to smash my teapot and bowl, and it's also common to take credit, and after I get out one by one, I still dislike the low grade of my teahouse, and I don't bother to come back and take a second look...... Now my teahouse is not well managed, my old mother is sick, and after selling the teahouse in desperation, it turns out to be troubled again, and then set on fire after the trouble, which is what my kindness has been exchanged for more than ten years. ”
Uncle Liu sighed deeply, looked at Yin Sheng and knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Liu Da, a grass farmer, often sends coal to the teahouse, so he will get up early and encounter fire." Because I had to put out the fire, I didn't have time to deliver the charcoal today, and I kept guarding outside the teahouse, except for Young Master Lu and them, no one went in. ”
"Bold Diao Min, you are untrustworthy, we have obviously been in."
"Hehe, I know, it was this gentleman surnamed Lu who gave you money to make you perjury, right, bullying our group of students has no power or power, right!"
"You're vicious."
“……”
The noisy sound was endless, Yin Sheng frowned, patted the wood with anger on his face, and shouted: "Shut up for me!" ”
The shopkeeper Wang helped Liu Da to stand up, and said softly: "Uncle Liu, you saw it." ”
Uncle Liu also shook his head helplessly, looked at Yin Sheng and said again: "The grass people are true, because the grass people have sent coal for decades, it has never been too late, so the owners of the major teahouses and restaurants all know the grass people." Today, because of this matter, those nobles are also considerate of me, let me send it after I am busy, and even find someone to help me, if the prefect does not believe in the grass people, you can ask other people to ask. Except for Young Master Lu and them, no one has really gone in. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was nothing they didn't understand, but it was the fault of Shangshantang, but they didn't admit their mistakes, and even quibbled, and even slandered the honest people who sent coal.
Yin Sheng looked at Li Jing standing in the hall and asked in a deep voice, "What else do you have to say?" False accusations are punishable by jail time! ”
Li Jing's face was flustered, he glanced at the person who was still being held, and immediately knelt down with a puff and said, "Lord Prefect Mingjian, the grass people really don't know that there are so many things in this. I only knew that the teahouse was on fire, and I was very angry in my heart, and the grass people thought that the teahouse was mismanaged and caught fire, which would inevitably affect others, so they came to report to the official. ”
As soon as Li Jing's words came out, the others also knew that they were afraid, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
If they go to prison, they will definitely be registered, and then the opportunity to take the big exam will be completely gone, and the only chance for them to turn over in this life will be gone.
The person with a miserable white face reacted violently at this time, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
Li Jing looked at the man and directly gritted his teeth and asked: "It was you who told me that the teahouse was on fire, saying that I was afraid that it would harm others, and we in Shangshantang couldn't sit idly by, so we came to report to the official!" It turned out to be that you set the fire! ”
The man's face was as pale as paper, and after listening to Li Jing's words, he pointed at Li Jing and said, "It's you, it's you who hurt me." ”
"I really don't like the teahouse being bought, because that's where we Shangshantang students often go, but I never let you set it on fire, you did it yourself!" Li Jing gritted his teeth and shouted.
After hearing this, the man's face turned even paler, it was indeed he who went, but it was clear that Li Jing had instructed him, although he said it more tactfully, but he definitely did not understand the wrong meaning.
At this time, the other students stood beside Li Jing and began to accuse the man, saying how vicious he was, how could he ignore people's lives and set fires......
Li Jing looked at Yin Sheng and kowtowed again: "Please be aware of the prefect, this matter was all caused by him, and we are just being used." ”
"My lord."
"My lord."
Rong gently looked at the person who was pushed out, she couldn't have the slightest pity in her heart, she should have known that she would be retributed when she harmed someone's life, and then she looked at Yin Sheng and said: "Lord Prefect, this is the contract we have to buy this teahouse, and it is worth one million taels in black and white!" Now that they have been set on fire and burned all, please call the shots. ”
One million taels was like a blow to the head, completely making the man faint with fright.
At this time, Li Jing and the others' faces were also extremely ugly, one million taels, even if they were sold, they might not be able to raise one million taels.
Lu Chengyan looked at Yin Shenglang and said: "Please also ask the prefect not to let go of the false accuser, we will abide by the law and trade normally, but the teahouse was burned down and falsely accused, please let the prefect make the decision for us." ”
Yin Sheng subconsciously frowned when he heard that he was abiding by the law, he didn't know about this other person, didn't he know about this Lu Chengyan, he was very gentlemanly, that is, after getting married, he slowly got better, and he did a lot of bastard things in the past.
But even if Lu Chengyan is a bastard, he is all daring, but it is not like this group of cowards kneeling underneath, who pushed one out at a critical moment, thinking that he could save himself, which is really ridiculous.
