Chapter Seventy-Eight: Is There Still This One?
After Manu's words were finished, everyone present was shocked.
Where is the silver life, the silver given by Wen Bin is not enough for this slave to risk his life to hide it for him.
"Dog minion, what nonsense are you talking about" Wen Bin was annoyed and hurriedly ordered people, "Don't drag him down yet"
The two scholars obeyed the order to pull people, but those who were used to being coolies had their own strength, and Manu struggled desperately, and the two scholars couldn't help it.
The man slave broke free from the restraints, knelt down in front of Bishop Zhou, kowtowed, and said, "Lord Bishop, it was Gongzi Wen who instructed me to blame Gongzi Mei for poisoning his horse."
Bishop Zhou was stunned, anger welled up like a wave in his eyes, and he glared at Wen Bin and said, "What he said is true."
"Master, how could I kill my own horse?"
Manu said: "The flying eagle has always been fed by the slave, yesterday the slave saw Mei Gongzi feeding the flying eagle and went to report, who knew that Wen Gongzi asked the slave to poison the flying eagle to blame Mei Gongzi." Manu lowered his head and sighed, "The slave can't do it, and Gongzi Wen said that he can't bear the wolf with the child, so let the slave relax."
"What he said is true," Zhou Fuzi asked sharply.
Wen Bin arched his hand: "Master, the student is wronged." ”
Manu said again: "Lord Bishop, the silver that Gongzi Wen gave to the slave was buried behind the horse shed by the slave, and the Lord Bishop sent someone to dig it out. ”
Bishop Zhou instructed a few of his servants to do so, and in a short time they dug out a wooden box from the wasteland behind the stable, which was filled with white silver.
The silver originally had no characteristics, but Wen Bin was studying outside, and he carried a lot of silver, so it was particularly important to prevent theft, so a large family like Wenfu would make their own mark on the bottom of the silver.
Bishop Zhou picked up a piece of silver and turned it over to look at it, and understood everything in his heart.
Wen Bin is one of the few students in the academy who wears white robes, and he has always been valued by Bishop Zhou, and the more he values it, the more sad he becomes.
"Where have you read all your sage books?" said Bishop Zhou's tone in a gloomy tone.
Seeing this, Wu Xian hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded: "Master, Brother Wen is just confused for a while. ”
"What a bastard" Bishop Zhou angrily pointed at Wen Bin and reprimanded, "Wen Shangshu is famous, how can there be a rebel like you"
Wen Bin was suddenly stunned: "Master, I'm confused, I'm willing to be punished, Master can punish him however he wants, but don't tell my father."
Bishop Zhou sneered: "You did such a degrading thing to the lintel, and you still want the teacher to hide it for you"
"If my father knew, he would definitely scold my mother and godson for having no way, my mother is not in good health, she can't stand the anger, you know, uncle" Wen Bin said, his knees bent, and he slowly knelt down in front of all the minions.
Mei Xiaoren was stunned, and her bright eyes gradually widened. She looked at Wen Bin, then turned her eyes to Bishop Zhou, and suddenly didn't understand.
uncle
Bishop Zhou was Wen Bin's uncle
And this one
She never knew
Bishop Zhou was shouted a little chaotic by Wen Bin's shout, and hurriedly brushed his sleeves and said coldly: "Presumptuous, the academy is a place for educating people, a mistake is a mistake, and it is useless to say anything."
Mei Xiaoren's heart sank a little, she was really afraid of the word "relatives", afraid of the cronyism of these court officials, and turned a blind eye to everything.
She wanted to regard Bishop Zhou as the last straw, and she was grateful to Bishop Zhou for distinguishing between right and wrong, but Bishop Zhou appreciated her and treated her well, she could still kiss other people's nephews
When Mei Xiaoren was distracted, Bishop Zhou ordered: "Come on, this bastard will be grounded in the Xingzhiyuan, and the decision will be made after the official has considered it." ”
With a sentence of "consider", Mei Xiaoren seemed to understand something, and a wry smile appeared on her lips. Before Wen Bin was escorted away, she took the first step to surrender to Bishop Zhou, "Lord Bishop, the student is unwell, so he will retire first." ”
She didn't care whether Bishop Zhou was allowed or not, she turned around after saying it and left without looking back.
She can't be the master of other people's lives, and she has to cherish her own lives.
Mei Xiaoren didn't rush back to the house after leaving the stable, but went to the back kitchen first to get some things.
Her stomach hurt more and more, as if there was a knife in it to cut flesh, she stiffened in front of people, returned to the residence and closed the door as if she had been beaten back to the prototype, collapsed on the bed and did not remember, like a weak woman who could not be helped.
She closed her eyes and rested in bed, not thinking about those troubles, but where she could say that she didn't want to, she didn't want to, after all, today's play left a deep impression on her.
It is said that harming others and oneself is harmed, and killing pays for one's life. Wen Bin set a trap for her this time with the purpose of killing her, will he end up with a "uncle" and get out of the way
Mei Xiaoren wanted to try, if she didn't say the word "forget it", what would the Bishop Zhou Church do.
She lay down until dusk before she sat up and picked up what she had retrieved from the back kitchen. Wash and slice the old ginger, add some brown sugar to make a cup of brown sugar ginger tea, and drink it only with benefits and no harm.
Mei Xiaoren was cutting ginger slices when someone knocked on her door again.
"Who," she replied impatiently.
"Mei Gongzi, the bishop is invited."
Mei Xiaoren's hand stopped, his fingertips twitched the freshly cut ginger slices, and his heart began to change again.
In the past, she would have been happy to see Bishop Zhou deal with it impartially, but now, she was hesitating, because she felt that the Bishop had invited her to let her go and let his nephew go
She thinks that she is not a good person, Wen Bin wants her life, she can't forgive, she can't say the word "let go".
There was no reply in the house, and the little servant continued to knock on the door: "Mei Gongzi, go quickly, don't let the bishop wait for a long time." ”
Keidoin.
Mei Xiaoren still came in the end, because Jinshan Academy is still a place where the bishop has the final say, and she can't avoid it.
She stood calmly in front of Bishop Zhou, kneading the ginger slices in her hand that she hadn't had time to put down.
Bishop Zhou didn't sit down, he stood face to face with her, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I didn't expect today's incident as a teacher, Wen Bin is the nephew of the teacher, but he is not allowed to mention it for the teacher, and he does not take too much care of him, and always treats you equally." ”
These Mei Xiaoren know, because Su Li is a know-it-all here, Su Li has never told her, and others don't know.
Bishop Zhou has done a good job of "treating everyone equally", so she has always felt that Bishop Zhou can distinguish between right and wrong, which is different from people like Sectarian Sun.
However, that's just usual.
Mei Xiaoren looked at Bishop Zhou and asked, "If Gongzi Wen keeps to himself, the bishop will treat everyone equally, but if something happens to him, will the bishop ignore it?"
"Shangshu Mansion has more than one son, but his mother only has one son, and she has high hopes for him." Bishop Zhou looked distressed when he mentioned this matter, "He is going to make his mother angry to death"
A wry smile bloomed on Mei Xiaoren's lips, the word "mother" is easy to soften people's hearts, because she doesn't have it, but she also wanted to have it.
"The teacher will not spare him"
Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes, this is the key to what Bishop Zhou wants to say.
She was about to ask what was going on, and asked him how heavy it was, but suddenly someone outside said, "Lord Bishop, the mountain master summons." ”
The mountain elder instructed Bishop Zhou not to delay, so he had to swallow back half of what he said and go to see the mountain master.
Bishop Zhou entered the courtyard. Mei Xiaoren was not far behind Bishop Zhou, she did not go to see the mountain chief, but followed the path up to the old place.
She wanted to come here to think about it, if Bishop Zhou was determined to let Wen Bin go, what should she do, whether she would still tie her life to Bishop Zhou
She stood on the edge of the cliff, tossed the crumpled things in her hands, and stroked the hair that was blown into her eyes by the wind, and the scene in front of her gradually became hazy.
There was a slight sobbing sound on the cliff, which stopped the visitor.
He hadn't approached the lonely figure on the edge of the cliff yet, but he had already realized that there seemed to be two words of grievance in his heart.
