It was a complaint.

Although Mei Xiaoren's writing is not very good, she has never eaten pork, and she has always seen a lot of pigs running, and she is very familiar with things like complaints, and she can easily pick up a pen.

Bishop Zhou's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and the back of his hand holding the paper-like paper gradually burst into green tendons, which showed that his heart was greatly shocked.

Mei Xiaoren was calm and calm, waiting for him to ask.

Bishop Zhou read the complaint several times, raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were cold, and asked, "What you said above is true."

Mei Xiaoren replied: "Back to the bishop, the students dare not slander their classmates. ”

Bishop Zhou is very clear about Mei Xiaoren's character, but he still has luck in his heart, hoping that the vicious mastermind on the paper is not his own nephew

"It's just your words, you have proof"

"Of course." Mei Xiaoren deserves to be decisive.

"Then you can take it out."

Bishop Zhou's tone suddenly softened, not that he was not in a hurry to ask for verification, but that his heart was already biased towards her complaint.

Up and down the academy, it is his nephew who is the most arrogant, what Mei Xiaoren said, whether it is murder or planting, there is nothing Wen Bin can't do.

Hate is useless, as a bishop, favoritism and protection are not tolerated; But that was his nephew, how could he tolerate it, so he was only helpless in his heart.

Bishop Zhou didn't publicize what was written on the paper, and the other gentlemen were still in the dark, and they couldn't help but start speculating about what Mei Xiaoren had written, which made the Bishop so sad.

Mei Xiaoren asked Bishop Zhou to summon the first witness to come to Wen Bin's scholar, Chang Fu.

In order not to alarm the students waiting outside the door, Chang Fu was brought in from the side gate by someone sent by Bishop Zhou. Before that, Bishop Zhou also asked for the wooden box she wanted.

When Chang Fu was brought to the temple, Mei Xiaoren immediately said: "Lord Bishop, today I will sue this slave for stealing his master's money and squandering it in the gambling house at the foot of the mountain. ”

Chang Fu thought that it was Gongzi's order to let him come here, but when he came and saw that Gongzi was not there, he was already confused, and suddenly he was sued again, and it was Mei Xiaoren who complained, and he was suddenly annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

Mei Xiaoren walked to the wooden box on the ground, leaned over and opened the wooden box, revealing a box full of silver.

She picked up a few ingots at random and showed the bottom to the gentlemen, so that everyone would be able to recognize whose money it was.

Chang Fu became more and more confused: "How can you have the silver of our Wenfu"

"You ask me" Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to Chang Fudao, "This silver didn't you take down the mountain and spend it in the gambling house."

Chang Fu insisted: "Of course not, where do I have so much silver?"

Mei Xiaoren unhurriedly took out a stack of folded letter paper and presented it to Bishop Zhou, and said, "This is a box of silver taels that Lord Zhizhou of Jinzhou found from the gambling house, and there is a handwritten letter from Lord Zhizhou as proof. ”

"Gambling House" Chang Fu scratched his head, still wondering, "My son-in-law won't go to such a place." ”

Mei Xiaoren pretended to be puzzled: "Then how can this silver be in the gambling house?"

"How do I know?"

Mei Xiaoren no longer argued with him, and said four words to the people in the palace: "I have a witness." ”

In case of being been

Others criticized collusion, she asked a few little guys to stand with Chang Fu, and then called her witness to come in and identify.

This witness is none other than Liu Wu, who she asked Lord Zhizhou to bring out from the gambling house.

In order to make Liu Wu obedient, she has spent a lot of effort in the past few months. Liu Wu said that he had never met such a generous gold owner, although the person who came to buy the medicine was just a small guy, but he also remembered that the person turned to ashes.

Liu Wu, as a fellow in the gambling house, identified who Chang Fu was at a glance, and then, according to Mei Xiaoren's instructions, he insisted that Chang Fu was a frequent visitor to the gambling house, and these marked silver were all from Chang Fu's pocket.

Chang Fu was dumbfounded. It was enough for him to be framed for stealing in the academy, not to mention stealing Gongzi's money, and if Gongzi believed it, he would not be beaten to death

Chang Fu's face turned pale, his legs began to tremble, he knelt down, and kowtowed to Bishop Zhou: "Little wronged" and turned back and pointed at Mei Xiaoren angrily, incoherently, "Obviously, you are spewing blood and blood."

Mei Xiaoren saw that Chang Fu was in a hurry to look like this, and estimated that the heat was almost over, so he asked Liu Wu to take off his hat and raise his head to show Chang Fu clearly.

Chang Fuzheng was frightened, and suddenly saw a familiar face, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately pointed at Liu Wudao: "Lord Bishop, the witness is fake, he is not from a gambling house, he is a black market dealer." ”

Speaking of the word black market, Chang Fu's eyes were fixed on the box of silver.

Now he understood everything, and he hurriedly pointed to the silver and said, "All this money was given to him at the beginning." He pointed at Mei Xiaoren and Liu Wu again, "Lord Bishop, they colluded to frame Xiao"

"You gave so much silver to a black market merchant, did you steal the silver and trade with him, or did you do business with him at the behest of your son-in-law?"

"Of course, I listened to my son-in-law's orders, otherwise I wouldn't dare to steal silver after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts."

Mei Xiaoren immediately asked: "Then what did your son-in-law let you buy and spend so much silver." ”

"Yes," Chang Fu paused in shock, and then he realized that he had said something that should not be said.

Mei Xiaoren knew that nothing could be smooth sailing, and neither could she ask questions, so when necessary, she had to find a way to get her to continue.

Poison is a thing that can't be seen in the first place, not to mention Wen Bin's sinister intentions. Mei Xiaoren answered casually: "Medicine"

"Yes, yes, it's medicine."

"I bought it with so much silver, I'm afraid it's an elixir." Mei Xiaoren chuckled.

She took out a porcelain vase from her sleeve, walked up to Chang Fu and asked, "This is the tonic I bought from him, and your son-in-law bought this too."

Chang Fu has long been riding a tiger and it is difficult to get down, no matter who gives him a step, he can't wait to climb down. Anyway, the thing is gone, how does the bishop know what he bought, he nodded, "It's this medicine." ”

Mei Xiaoren uncorked the bottle, handed the medicine bottle to him, and said expressionlessly, "Then you drink it." ”

Chang Fu's face turned pale again

Mei Xiaoren lowered his voice, and said clearly: "Don't worry, it's exactly the same as what your son-in-law bought." ”

The cold tone frightened Chang Fu's face completely white. Obviously, Mei Xiaoren knew what his son-in-law bought, so what he was holding in his hand was not a tonic at all, but something terrible.

Mei Xiaoren handed the medicine bottle closer, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "I'm rewarding you, you're welcome." ”
