"No noise above the court!" The left waiter of the criminal department was shocked again, Xu Wencai was like a defeated rooster, his expression was panicked, how confident he was before, and how depressed he was now.

"No, there are no two evasions at all, it's you who lie, it's you! You see that he is from the Jingyong Mansion, so he intends to cover up! You officials protect each other! Xu Wencai pointed to the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department in the hall and said, the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department frowned, and said angrily: "Bold Xu Wencai, you made false accusations first, and now you don't want to repent, but slander the court officials." I don't want to die! ”

Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department picked up the order sign on the table, threw it down the hall, and said: "Xu Wencai is noisy in the hall, and he has twenty palms!" ”

The official stepped forward to hold down Xu Wencai, and another official took the wooden board used for the palm mouth, walked up to Xu Wencai, and raised his hand without saying a word. The wooden board was three inches wide, the bottom of the cup was as thick as the bottom, and the official was not a Sven person, so he wouldn't take care of it, but after two or three efforts, Xu Wencai was beaten with a mouth full of blood.

In the public hall, the "snapping" sound of the palm mouth was extremely loud, and you could feel how painful it was just by listening to the sound. After twenty palms, Xu Wencai was beaten to the point that his eyes were full of stars, and as soon as the official let go of his hand, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, choking and coughing twice, and spit out a few bloody broken teeth.

"Xu Wencai, who instructed you to falsely accuse Yu Wen'an, Yu Wen'an Township tried the paper, how did you know about it? Don't hurry up! The squire of the criminal department asked.

Xu Wencai lay on the ground, his face swollen, and his speech was slurred, "I didn't ...... I didn't falsely accuse him, I wrote the article...... That's what I wrote, I'm the lifter, I'm the ......"

Xu Wencai seemed to be unable to withstand the blow and fell into hysteria. Yu Wen'an, who was standing on the side, looked at him and suddenly asked: "Since you said that I asked you to take the exam on your behalf with a lot of money, and also told you that my father's name is for you to pay attention to, then what is the word in my mother's name, you can tell me." ”

If Yu Wenan really asked someone to take the exam on his behalf, how could anyone mention someone to avoid his father's name, but he didn't mention his mother.

No one knows what to write in the township exam, if you want to avoid it, you must know what words are in the names of Yu Wenan's parents, Yu Wenan asked like this, Xu Wencai was suddenly stupid.

Yu Enping is the third master of the Jingyong Mansion, and he is suspended in Qintianjian. His name is not a secret, and a little inquiry will tell you. But Yu Wen'an's mother's name is different, the name of the boudoir is the name that only those close to him know. No girl's wife's name will be publicized all over the street.

Not to mention Xu Wencai, it is the Jingyong Mansion, and the people who know Mrs. Liu's name are also a minority.

"Xu Wencai, can you tell me, what words does Yu Wenan's mother's maiden name have?" The left waiter of the criminal department also asked, Xu Wencai raised his head and looked around stupidly, shaking his mouth and unable to speak for a long time.

"Why didn't you answer when asked! Xu Wencai, do you know the name of Yu Wenan's mother?! The left waiter of the Criminal Department asked sharply, Xu Wencai was frightened, his face was gray, and after a long time, he said slowly: "No...... I don't know ......."

Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department sneered and said, "Since you said that Yu Wen'an wanted you to take the exam for him, and also told you what his father's surname was, why did you not mention his mother's name?" Xu Wencai, you don't want to recruit it quickly! If there is any more quibble and shirk, the official will be punished! ”

It's over, it's all over! Xu Wencai only felt that the world was spinning, and there was only one voice in his head that repeatedly told him that his life was ruined like this. What fame and fortune, what is the success of the rise has nothing to do with him, whether he can save this life, is now a question.

Xu Wencai gave up the struggle and said that he had framed Yu Wen'an. By now that the case has been tried, everything has become clear. Xiao Shizi, who was lucky not to be frightened on the spot, put down the big stone in his heart, leaned on the back of the chair and said to Xiao Lanwei: "I thought it would be a shocking case, but I didn't expect the trial to go so smoothly." It's not been more than two hours, has it? ”

Xiao Lanwei played with the folding fan in her hand and replied casually: "Are you still waiting to be scared and become a big joke in Beijing?" ”

Xiao Li ignored Xiao Lanwei's ridicule, flipped through the three-point test paper in his hand again, and muttered: "Yu Wenan said that there are still two evasions, where are they?" I didn't see it at all. ”

"Be careful, Lord Shizi, I didn't look at the old foxes on the other side, all of them looked like they knew it well, how could you be an official with them in the future. Look, here, you're taking a closer look. Xiao Lanwei leaned on the armrest, took a fan and clicked a little on the test paper, Xiao Li looked at it, touched his chin and sighed: "This word is avoided...... Most people can't see it. Xu Wencai lost unjustly. ”

The two of them were chatting with great interest, and Xu Wencai had already told everything about the incident. Yu Wen'an said with peace of mind, sure enough, someone found Xu Wencai and deliberately framed him, because this matter also involved the subordinates of the Jingyong Mansion, Yu Wenan was angry at this time, and he had to press it down.

The next thing is simpler, Yu Wenan was released in the court, retaining his fame. The rest of the people were all taken into custody, especially Zhang Zeming, who knew the law and broke the law, killed people and killed people, he was the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and he had to ask the emperor to make a holy judgment.

After finishing these things, everyone dispersed, and Xiao Lanwei saw Jiang Xiu get up and walk out, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Little Lord." Jiang Xiu saluted Xiao Lanhuan, Xiao Lanhuan returned the salute, and Jiang Xiuze asked, "Little Wangye, do you have something to ask the lower officials?" ”

Xiao Lanwei smiled and said: "Lord Jiang is really smart, he is just in the hall, this king looks at the performance of all the adults, it seems that he has long known that Yu Wen'an is evasive, and even let the two of them write the test paper silently, it is just to take advantage of the situation, so as to lead to this matter, and a decision has been made." Lord Jiang, I don't know if Xiao Wang's guess is right? ”

Jiang Xiu twisted the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "The little prince's eyes are like torches, this official did know about avoiding secrets for a long time, and when he saw that Xu Wencai had a hard mouth, he seemed to be prepared, so he told Lord Shangshu." ”

"How did Master Jiang know?" Xiao Lanhuan said curiously, Jiang Xiu talked to Xiao Lanhuan while walking out with him, "Don't dare to deceive the prince, Yu Wenyuan of the Jingyong Mansion is the nephew of the official, a few days ago he came to me with Yu Wenan's old article, and he mentioned one or two sentences." ”

"Yu Wenyuan?" Xiao Lanwei was surprised, avoiding things is purely a personal habit, and it is a subconscious behavior, and everyone is accustomed to it, so many times it is inevitable that some lights are dark and they can't notice it. With his understanding of Yu Wenyuan, Yu Wenyuan seems to be ...... It's not like such a meticulous person.

"Exactly, I heard Wen Yuan say that he was supported by the little prince in Hangzhou, and the lower officials are here to thank the little prince for him." Jiang Xiu and Xiao Lanwei walked to the gate of the Criminal Department and stopped.

"Where, it's just a little thing. also wants Yu Wenyuan to have his own responsibility and be able to achieve things. Xiao Lan didn't take credit, the two chatted for a few more words, and Jiang Xiu said that there was still official business in the official office, and he said goodbye and left.

Xiao Lanhuan stood in place and watched Jiang Xiuze get on the sedan chair and leave, Xiao Li suddenly stuck up behind him, put one hand on Xiao Lanhuan's shoulder, and said, "What are you talking about with Lord Jiang?" ”

"Talk about you stupid goose!" Xiao Lanwei knocked on Xiao Li's head with a fan, shrugged his shoulders and threw Xiao Li's hand down, and walked out of the door first.

"I, where am I recruiting you!" Shi Ziye covered his forehead, pointed to the dashing back of the little prince, and said angrily, seeing that Xiao Lanhuan was about to get on the horse and leave, Xiao Li hurriedly chased after him, and said in a chattering voice: "Xiao Lanzhuo, let me tell you, don't think that if you are the prince, I will be afraid of you, you yourself tell me how many times you have counted me down today......

Jingyong Mansion.

It is still the old lady's Fushoutang main room, and the fraud case is being tried today, and the three divisions will be tried by others and cannot be observed, so everyone in the Yu family can only gather together at the old lady to wait for news.

The old lady of the third room sat at the end of the bottom, and both of them turned pale with faces. Although Mrs. Liu had Mu Qingling's advice, firstly, the thief was not caught, and secondly, she couldn't get out, whether Yu Wenan was alive or dead, she could only wait for others to come in from the outside, which was really uncomfortable.

Mu Qingling sat in the middle with the old lady, the old lady closed her eyes, held a string of red sandalwood prayer beads in her hand, and muttered the scriptures in her mouth. Mu Qingling looked down, and Yu Enrong, who was at the head, looked as serious as usual, but his lips were tight, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Mrs. Xu didn't see anything unusual, neither worried nor happy, as if she didn't care.

It's no wonder that she looks like this, everything in the Jingyong Mansion is like a glass cover for her, although she says that she is the Duchess of Jingyong, but in the entire Jingyong Mansion, no one really treats her as her own family. Now that the accident is the eldest son of the third room, who has always been unfamiliar, it is already polite and polite for Mrs. Xu to sit here and wait for the news, no matter how much she has, she really doesn't feel anything. 、

As for the second room, Yu Enxiang is going to Yingmao today, so he is not in the house. Although Mrs. Xu also had a dignified face, her posture was leisurely, and her eyes showed a little expectation and happiness from time to time, which made her distracted disguise disappear.

Mu Qingling frowned, lowered her eyes and gently pinched the old lady's shoulder.

She had already asked Yu Wenyuan to send a message to Jiang Fu, and she also brought Yu Wen'an's old work with her. It's a pity that they can only wait for news in the mansion now, and they don't know what will happen in the court.

"Sir! Master! Suddenly the voice of the housekeeper came from outside the house, and everyone in the house was shocked, and turned their heads to look at the door. As soon as the maid who opened the curtain opened the door, and the housekeeper still had half a foot outside the door, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but stand up and asked, "But there is a conclusion?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly walked in, knelt down in the hall and kowtowed to the old lady and said, "Back to the old lady, the criminal department has decided the case, and our young master Wen'an is wronged!" Released on the spot and retained his fame, Young Master Wen'an has already entered the outer door, and he will come to greet the master, the old lady, and the wife immediately! ”

"What did you say?!" Xu Shi didn't hold back, stood up and asked in a lost voice, after the words were spoken, he was shocked to find that he had lost his manners, and hurriedly sat down, helped his heart, made a look of concern and eagerness, and said, "Are you sure?" Really, did you really judge that Wen An was wronged? And still retain the fame?! ”

The housekeeper rejoiced: "It's true! Absolutely true! Old lady, our family really has a sixteen-year-old man! Great joy! ”

As soon as the housekeeper said this, everyone's expressions were relaxed, and Mrs. Liu burst into tears instantly, clasping her hands together and chanting "Buddha bless, Buddha bless", Yu Enping was even more overjoyed and didn't know what to do.

"Grandmother!" Mu Qingling was originally helping the old lady to stand, but suddenly felt the old lady stumble, and hurriedly took the old lady to sit down, how old is the old lady, how much mood has fluctuated in the past few days, and now she is suddenly relaxed, and she is actually a little dizzy. Yu Enrong hurriedly stepped forward, held the other side of the old lady, and said worriedly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Doctor!" Yu Enrong turned his head and ordered, but Mrs. Yu hurriedly took his hand and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I was a little dizzy with joy all of a sudden." Don't make a fuss. ”

Everyone was happy that Yu Wen'an was cleared of charges, and then they were worried about the old lady, and when they were officially busy, they heard a report from the maid outside: "Young Master An is back." ”

Yu Wen'an walked into the room, he had been in the criminal department for so long, and now that he saw his parents and relatives again, Yu Wen'an's eyes turned red in an instant, and he stepped forward without waiting for the maid to send the futon, picked up the hem of his clothes, knelt down in the hall, and said: "Old lady, uncle, aunts, father, mother, Wen'an is back!" ”

After that, Yu Wenan kowtowed to Mrs. Yu three times.

Although Yu Wenan was not favored before, but in the end, the old lady grew up with his own eyes, he was young and angry, and he was the first person in the house to be upright, but he was framed and went to the criminal department to suffer so much. The old lady has always been soft-hearted, and when the old lady saw Yu Wen'an, she really didn't know how to feel distressed, so she hurriedly asked people to help him up and call him to come forward.

"Good boy, you have suffered, you have suffered!" The old lady hugged Yu Wen'an and cried for a while, and everyone hurriedly came around, coaxing and persuading, for fear that the old lady would be happy and sad and hurt her body again.

Mu Qingling quietly stepped aside, leaving Yu Wen'an to comfort the old lady. Outside the crowd, Xu Shi was still sitting on the chair, only to see her face was pale, the hand on her lap was clenched tightly, and the green tendons on the back of her hand bulged, which showed how much effort she spent to control herself and not lose her temper on the spot.

Next to her, Yu Wenda, who originally had a lively mentality, also looked defeated. He looked at Yu Wen'an's crowd in the center, and gently coaxed this old lady Yu, with a look of disbelief, he wanted to stand up, and wanted to shout loudly that this was impossible. But as soon as his butt left the chair, he was pressed down by Mrs. Xu.

"What do you want to do?!" Xu Shi glared at Yu Wenda, his face was terrifying. Yu Wenda stammered twice, but still didn't dare to speak. Xu Shi turned his head to look at the crowd again, the corners of his mouth twitched, squeezed out a trace of a cold to the extreme, and a terrifying laugh, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Good for you Yu Wen'an! ”
