Chapter 123: Questioning
Ji Ying knocked on the window lattice and beckoned to the people inside.
Song Tian looked at him unexpectedly, making sure that he was looking for himself, and put down his pen and went out.
"Brother Ji, are you looking for me?"
Although I often heard of Ji Ying, it was the first time for the two to talk.
Ji Ying nodded and said, "The hall master is invited, Brother Song come with me." ”
The owner of the pavilion came back, Song Tian raised his eyebrows, and followed Ji Ying to the Songjian Pavilion quickly.
He went to see several people standing in the hall, and originally thought that the hall owner would give a lecture to everyone, but how did everyone look at him strangely.
This kind of look is like trying to peel him and scrape his bones and see it thoroughly.
Song Tian was a little inexplicable, his intuition was wrong, and he didn't open his mouth after saluting the hall master, and stood silently aside.
The young man's eyes are clear and bright, he is stepping on cyan cotton boots, the student shirt on his body is clean and tidy, and the bun on the top of his head is also meticulously combed.
He is the only son of Song Ercai, he has been in the first class for several exams when he came here, and the owner of the Li Pavilion has seen his question paper and has high expectations for him, if no one sees this incident, he will not think of this child anyway.
"Song Tian, have you ever been here in the past few days since I left?"
Pavilion Master Li took out the previous words and asked again, and Song Tian arched his hand and said, "The student has been here, but I heard that Mr. is not here, and he has not entered. ”
Why did the pavilion owner ask such inexplicable words, Song Tian thought about it, could it be that Songma Pavilion lost something?
Pavilion Master Li stroked his beard and said, "There is a notebook and a jade stone missing in my study for no reason, have you seen it?" ”
Asking yourself when you drop something is not an inquiry, but a questioning.
Song Tian frowned, "Mr. has something to say, please make it clear." ”
There was a faint displeasure in his attitude, and if the thing was really his take, it would be too obsessive.
Before Pavilion Master Li could think of how to speak, one of the students in his early twenties asked, "Song Tian, someone saw that you were suspicious at the gate of Songjian Pavilion, and you were still holding a notebook in your hand, but the one that the hall owner lost?" ”
The person who spoke was surnamed Fu Yuanxun, although he was a little older, he was already a child, he had just been accepted by the owner of the hall for a long time, and he cherished this opportunity very much, so he naturally wanted to find out the thief as soon as possible and return everyone to a clean slate.
Song Tian didn't know him, thinking of what he had just said, his eyes slowly turned to Tian Mao.
It was that time, Song Tian understood.
He arched his hand to the owner of the Li Pavilion and said: "Sir, not long ago, the student got a copybook, suspected that it was Mr. Tao's ink treasure, that day I wanted to help Mr. to see if it was used, how did I think the door was closed, just at that time Brother Tian appeared, told Mr. was not there, the student left, and I don't know what everyone said about the suspicious whereabouts." ”
Song Tian said frankly, he didn't want Tian Mao to see that he had a copybook, but the copybook was his, and it was his freedom not to show it to others, what did it matter.
"Mr. Tao's calligraphy?" Tian Mao stood up, "Brother Song, dare to ask what kind of poster it is?" Where did you get it from? ”
One by one, they began to ask him, Song Tian frowned, thinking that the book he lost was related to the one in his hand?
If this is the case, if it is not explained clearly, it may lead to suspicion.
Thinking of this, Song Tian said bluntly: "The calligraphy was purchased from the bookshelf, and the post is called Yijing, with no payment, a small red seal, and a single long word. ”
When Tian Mao heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Song, your face is not red and your heart is not beating, but you are speaking frankly. ”
How did he say that he was already treated as a thief, Song Tian was a little angry, and he didn't break with Tian Mao, but said to the hall owner: "What the student said is true, the poster was bought at a stall outside the grain and oil shop on the main street, and the post is at the student's home, so the student will go and retrieve it to see if it is the one that Mr. lost." ”
If the notebook was the one lost by the owner, he also bought it, which is different from theft.
Pavilion Master Li still believed him, nodded and said, "You go." ”
Song Tian gave up his hand and quickly withdrew.
He trotted all the way back to the shop, thinking about the cause and effect of this incident, he always felt that something was not right, everything came too coincidentally, and it felt that someone was secretly doing it.
If I don't catch up with the market today, Ah Xiu went to the new courtyard, and only Chang's was drying the thread inside.
"Brother Tian, why are you back?"
Chang saw that his son was a little inexplicable, Song Tian answered, just took something, and soon left again.
He had not been holding this post for more than ten days, and he was carefully wrapped with silk cloth when he did not use it on weekdays, and he held it in his hand at this time as when he bought it.
Song Tian took it into his arms and trotted all the way back.
When he came to the door of Matsuma Pavilion again, the bell rang, and classes had already begun in the teaching house.
The people in the room are still there, and there is even one more.
Song Tian was stunned when he saw Su Yong standing in the hall, and he couldn't understand why this person was here.
Originally, several people in the hall were talking, but as soon as Song Tian came, everyone was quiet, and turned their heads to stare at him with different eyes.
There is contempt, anger, incomprehension, pity and disappointment.
Song Tian didn't know what had happened here when he left this short meeting, and when he saw Su Yong's treacherous eyes, the uneasiness and doubts in his heart quickly rose.
No one in the hall spoke, Song Tian stabilized his mind, did not care about Su Yong, but took out the calligraphy in his arms and presented it to the hall owner: "Sir, the calligraphy purchased by the student is this one." ”
Pavilion Master Li nodded and took it, took a look at the silk cloth, and sighed heavily.
"Song Tian, this is the notebook I lost. At this point, I ask again, is this really what you bought from the stall? ”
"Sir, what the student said is true."
Song Tian stepped forward, and he was firm without hesitation.
Before leaving, he saw that the owner of the pavilion believed him, and his attitude changed at this time, did Su Yong say something?
At the beginning, some people said that this man was stingy and held grudges, but it seemed right, and he didn't know when he was in his way.
"It's true." Su Yong sneered and asked, "Song Tian, this thing was obviously stolen by you." Except for two study rooms in the town, where there are any pen and ink stalls, you are lying. ”
"Nonsense, villains." Song Tian didn't even look at him, but bowed his hand to Pavilion Master Li again: "Sir, this science student has known since he was a child that what he said before is true, and I ask Mr. to verify it." ”
If Song Tian is pretending, it is too reasonable.
Pavilion Master Li wrinkled his eyebrows, looked at Su Yong and Song Tian and said, "This is not a small matter, originally I wanted to give that person a chance, but now it seems that being too merciful will not bring good results." I can't hear anyone liar, or anyone who is seriously hurt by the rumors, especially my students. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, if someone obstructs it, there will be no place for him in this Cangshan Academy. ”
