Mr. Bao is about 30 years old, is the protégé of Dean Wei, Hongwu 22 years of Jinshi, early years into the petty official, because of offending the top officials and lost the black yarn, he knew that he was upright and not suitable for officialdom, so he stayed in Chengxu as a teacher.

The environment of the college is fresh, and it is really a paradise compared to the officialdom, even if there are some nepotism, it is the students' families who take good care of their children through the relationship to the college. For example, a few years ago, Dean Wei had approached him and asked him to take special care of Luo Baiqian, because the old lady of the Luo family had a great favor to him in his early years. The benefactor of the teacher is his benefactor, so Mr. Bao is very attentive to Luo Baiqian, and he asks carefully about all his homework, and the personal relationship between the two is also good.

After the hot topic of "Criticism of the First Golden Branch's Life Experience" two years ago, Mr. Bao also heard that this female student He Angelica was Miss Luo Jia's cousin, so he naturally wanted to help her say a few words at this time.

Thinking of this, Mr. Bao said righteously: "Don't get confused, there is no doubt that classmate Qian fell into the water by himself; Regardless of whether he has persuaded Liao to go into the water or not, I believe it is out of kindness, which can be seen from the fact that she dived into the water to save people regardless of her own safety, so he is a kind lady who loves her classmates, not a selfish and indifferent person as everyone says. Qian's drowning, we all feel sad and regretful, and deeply blame ourselves in our hearts, some because we don't have good water, and some because we don't dare to go beyond the rules to save people. ”

Mr. Bao, who is a veteran of seniority, spoke a lot, and asked "yes" in a dignified and threatening tone, who can cheer him up and say "no". So, the female students who were upset about the deceased just now were silent at the right time, and a group of male students who stepped on the single-plank bridge only echoed a few times, after all, a charming and lovely Miss Qian was rescued and died in front of their eyes, and they all chose to be a bystander when they could help, and they really felt guilty at the moment.

Mr. Bao received these supports, nodded and concluded: "This is an accident, no one reacted, everyone did not expect it, I believe that Qian Jiuquan will not blame everyone." As he spoke, he looked at Qian Shuixian, who had the saddest expression on his face, and persuaded, "Classmate Qian, please mourn, Sister Ling's death will definitely take the corresponding responsibility." When Ling Zun Lingtang heard the bad news, he would definitely want to see Sister Ling's face as soon as possible, how could he ask the official to take away her body. There is no doubt about this drowning incident, that is, he fell into the water and died, I suggest not to alarm the government and deal with it in a low-key manner, what do you think? ”

Qian Shuixian lowered her head with tears in her eyes to consider his suggestion, and Qi Mu'er, who had always been gentle and shy, spoke again without being shocked: "Mr. Bao, Mu'er heard that you have always been fair and never helped his younger siblings because you have a close personal relationship with any student, so I want to explain again, the real reason why Angelica didn't go to save people for half a day, but suddenly jumped into the water, I don't know if you can see it, sir?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, this Qi Mu'er usually gives people the usual impression of being a soft and easy to pinch meat bun, and any young lady who satirizes her illegitimate daughter, or hints that her words and deeds are too pretentious, she is silent and bears it silently. No one has ever seen her so sharp-edged, and she actually took the initiative to say goodbye to Mr. Bao - everyone knows that Luo Baiqian had a good personal relationship with Mr. Bao when he used to read Chengxu, and often invited him to drink and talk about the mountains, Qi Mu'er said this, obviously implying that Mr. Bao was biased towards He Angelica!

Chengxu pays attention to respecting teachers, even Han Fang and Han Qiqi, the children of Han Fei, the highest governor of Yangzhou and the chief official of the frontier, dare not openly contradict Mr., how can Qi Muer, the illegitimate daughter of a salt merchant, have such courage? She doesn't want to mess around in Chengxu anymore? I heard that she was only two points short of passing the entrance exam, and her father had a treat and gifts, and it took a lot of effort to get her into Chengxu, shouldn't she cherish this hard-won gold-plated opportunity? Or does she really have some truth, so she wants to seek justice for the dead?

He Angelica also secretly wondered, when did he step on the tail of this little white rabbit princess? Why did she suddenly target herself like this, it seems that she has never dealt with her? Can't figure it out.

Mr. Bao calmly made a face and slowly bowed his head and said: "Classmate Qi, you say, could it be that Classmate He bravely dived into the water, and there is another reason besides saving people?" ”

Qi Mu'er stated: "Before the piano class the day before yesterday, I saw Qian Peony quietly change a string that was sharpened on the lower side of the piano and quietly replaced it on He Angelica's piano, and later He Angelica cut his finger when he played the piano and shed a lot of blood, Qian Peony laughed at her, she only glanced at Qian Peony and went to bandage the wound. I guess she must have held a grudge against Qian Peony at that time, so when Liao Qinger was going to save Qian Peony who fell into the water today, she tried her best to stop Liao Qinger. When I saw this scene, she suddenly turned around and saw me at a glance, with a panicked look on her face, as if she was afraid that I would expose the fact that she was deliberately taking revenge on Qian Peony. The next moment, she thought about it for a while, and then jumped into the stream and pretended to save people, in order to cover up this section, but she didn't expect Qian Peony to be delayed because of this, because of a prank the day before yesterday, she lost the opportunity to be rescued by Liao Qing'er, so that Xiang Xiaoyu died. ”

Everyone pondered when they heard this, but they didn't expect that there was such a tortuous reason in the middle, if this is really the case, then He Angelica is really a little resentful and unjust. However, at most, others blame her for being a little chicken belly, cold-blooded and ruthless, and no one can blame Qian Peony's death on her head, because Qian Peony did drown herself.

Qi Mu'er glanced at Qian Peony's corpse, and said sadly: "I have talked to Sister Peony a few times, she is really good, I secretly envy her graceful bearing, she is my model, just now I saw her lifeless appearance, and I will accuse Miss He of being the murderer of Sister Peony when I am angry, in fact, if you talk about it in detail, this is not Miss He's business." Miss He, I'm sorry, Mu'er shouldn't have given you the hat of a murderer. Saying that, Ying Ying made amends in the direction of He Angelica, and He Angelica bowed his head, "It's okay, I forgive you, get up." ”

Qi Mu'er choked for a moment, and then showed that flower-like posture with firmness in her weakness, and her voice was sad: "Since Mu'er can change her mistakes when she knows her mistakes, should you be as good as you can and kowtow to Sister Peony's body to make amends?" Even if you don't want to let the tragic death of Sister Peony rest in peace, please think about your conscience. ”

Qian Shuixian also cried and echoed: "Hurry up and kowtow to my sister, she died so unjustly, it turned out to be for a string!" He Angelica, you have gone too far! ”

He Angelica couldn't help but listen to it in his heart, this year's freshmen are really interesting, the behavior of the Qian sisters is out of line enough, I didn't expect there to be a conscientious woman like Miss Qi, who sings and writes well. She went around in circles, first pointing out that she was the murderer, and then "corrected" that she was the one who indirectly killed Qian Peony, so she couldn't wait to smear herself in front of everyone...... Qi Mu'er, a fairy in which temple? What do you have to do with her?

Everyone looked at He Angelica's calm expression, and all kinds of speculations were derived in their hearts, Wen Han couldn't help it, and asked, "Sister Angelica, is what Miss Qi said true?" Are you really sorry that Miss Qian won't save her when she dies? ”

To leave somebody in the lurch? "Seeing death and not saving" is the self-name of Mr. Dou Haiqin, who taught her medical skills on the farm when she was a child. Many years ago, the world named him "saving the life and helping the wounded" Dou Divine Doctor, and later Dou Divine Doctor was betrayed once by a wounded person who was carefully saved, and no one spoke for him, and finally he was exiled for 3,000 miles by "five punishments". After escaping, he disfigured himself incognito and hid on the farm to write his medical book, but after being tortured, he was no longer able to work, so he had to continue to open a medical clinic to make a living. Although his medical skills are staggering, he is only willing to treat minor ailments, refuses to be seriously injured and sick, and promises to "see death and not save him".

In her opinion, Mr. Dou would rather save wild cats, wild dogs, and wild wolves than save people, which shows that he is heartbroken. It's a pity that after half a year of relatively comfortable and prosperous life, I actually healed the scar and forgot the pain. You don't look for trouble, things come to you, that's the reality. Let's face it-

"Miss Qi is right, I accidentally cut my finger by the strings in the piano room the day before yesterday, and I was still very surprised at the time, why are the strings so sharp." He Angelica honestly explained, "After his hand was injured, Qian Peony next to him seemed to be laughing, I don't remember it clearly." Miss Qi was also in the piano room at that time, and she happened to see the whole process of classmate Qian changing the strings, so what she said was really accurate. ”

Wu Yuying, Guan Zhan and others were secretly happy when they heard this, ha! He Angelica confessed! She's about to be discredited and plummeted! Without those sons and brothers holding her, see if she is still proud in the future, and dare to ignore them, her eyes are above the top!

He Angelica continued to confess: "As for what Miss Qi said, what I stopped Qing'er is basically true, but it is not as exaggerated as those 'eyewitnesses' Miss said later, saying, 'I saw Qing'er already go into the water with one leg, but I dragged it back alive', I don't believe it, you see, Qing'er's skirt is very dry." At that time, everyone was nervously looking at the person who fell into the water, and even the son opposite didn't see this scene, and for some reason, the young lady standing side by side with us had the leisure to watch our small action. At that time, Qing'er did intend to save people, and I grabbed her and said two words, delaying some time, really damn it. As for my later entry into the water, it was the result of my discussion with Qing'er, and I didn't have any 'eye contact' with Miss Qi, maybe she was looking at me, I didn't see her. That's it. ”

Qi Mu'er said coldly: "You don't have to quibble anymore, at that time, you clearly saw me, revealing a weak expression that I saw through, and pretended to go into the water to save people in order to make up for it, He Angelica, the dead are the greatest, are you embarrassed to lie in front of Sister Peony's corpse?" ”

The more this paragraph is spoken, the more realistic it becomes, and everyone can almost describe in their minds the image of He Angelica, a little woman who is full of small calculations step by step.

He Angelica tilted his head and suddenly asked, "I gave Qing'er something before I went into the water, what is it?" ”

"Huh? What is it? Qi Mu'er was slightly stunned, and repeated.

"That's right," He Angelica nodded and said, "I have a precious thing that I can't take into the water, so I took it off and gave it to Qing'er, and now it's in her purse," he patted Liao Qing'er's plump waist and asked rhetorically, "Didn't Miss Qi witness my smile before throwing myself into the water?" Don't you see such a big action as picking up and handing things? ”

Qi Mu'er bit her lip and snorted, "Of course I saw it, isn't it just a jade pendant?" I was far away and didn't see the specific shape and color of the jade pendant...... Do you want to continue to quibble? ”

He Angelica patted Liao Qing'er and said with a smile: "Jade pendant? Let's show Miss Qi. ”

Liao Qing'er slowly took off her assorted purse, first took out two ingots of silver from it, and put them in He Angelica's hand; took out two pairs of handmade puppets and stuffed them into He Angelica's sleeve; Then she took out a round pigfish jade pendant, and explained to Qi Mu'er, who was happy: "This is mine, and my name is engraved on it, oh, I'll show you," she turned around and handed the jade pendant to Meng Xuan, who was standing on her left at some point, and her white fat fingers pointed to the ring in the middle and said, "It was carved for fifteen pennies, and it was engraved in ancient style." ”

Meng Xuan picked it up and glanced at it, and then read out loud: "Universe Invincible Qing? Well, there is a blue character, this jade pendant belongs to Miss Liao. ”

Liao Qing'er put her hand into her purse again and touched it, and finally found a semi-circular golden box, and laughed: "Haha! This is what Xiao Yi handed over to me, an immortal golden lock, the kind of loving item that little babies love the most! Qi Mu'er, didn't you say that you witnessed everything before Xiaoyi went into the water? Why can't you tell me what she gave me before she went into the water? I see that you are all made up, only to catch a glimpse of the action of me approaching the shore, and it is far-fetched to talk about such a lot, you say! What kind of heart do you have in peace? Why did you frame my sister, where did she offend you? ”

Qi Mu'er was yelled and cried, and said: "Everything is said by you, how do I know that the golden lock is not your thing, how do I know that the jade pendant is not a souvenir that you carved your name to give to He Angelica?" Luo Baiqiong and Luo Baishao didn't come, who can prove that the golden lock is what Angelica is? Is the name of Angelica engraved on the golden lock? Will she be able to break the golden lock? ”

He Angelica's golden lock was not engraved, and a lot of strange things were placed in the four-petal box of the golden lock, and she didn't want to open it for everyone to see, so she thought for a while and said: "My golden lock is a incense box, which contains my homemade worry-free incense, and it is very simple to verify who is its owner between me and Qing'er, usually I hang the gold lock in the placket on the inside of my chest, and invite a classmate to smell the smell of the golden lock, and then smell the placket of me and Qing'er, and the truth will naturally be revealed." ”

Mr. Zheng felt reasonable, nodded at Guan Zhan, and said, "You go and smell them." ”

When Liao Qing'er and Guan Zhan heard this, they couldn't tell which of them was more disgusted by their expressions. Liao Qing'er lives in Guanfu, but she doesn't buy Guan Zhan's account at all, and often says to her face that she is "the daughter of a concubine who is full of calculations at a glance", which makes Guan Zhan angry enough. And Guan Zhan just loudly debunked Liao Qing'er's lies to defend He Angelica, about her poor water nature and cold, so Liao Qing'er firmly believed that Guan Zhan was treacherous, and as soon as she heard that she was going to come over to smell herself, she immediately wrinkled her face into a painful expression like going to the toilet.

Guan Zhan became even more angry when he saw it, and said stiffly: "Sir, I have a stuffy nose and can't smell anything." ”

Mr. Zheng frowned, and was just about to order another female student to perform the task of smelling incense, when Meng Xuan, who was standing next to Liao Qing'er, suddenly recommended herself: "My nose is good, let me serve." Saying that, he first grabbed the golden lock in Liao Qing'er's hand and sniffed it lightly, then ripped off the silk handkerchief hanging on Liao Qing'er's front button and sniffed it, and finally, he walked in front of He Angelica, and in the protruding gaze of everyone, he put a whole head on He Angelica's neckline, and did not move away when he smelled a cup of tea.

The one who smelled the fragrance seemed to be addicted, and the "ice beauty" who was smelled was motionless by the other party, many sons and brothers were not happy, the ice beauty is the private property of their academy, and none of their own people can conquer it, how can an outsider take the lead?

Han Fang said unhappily: "Young Master Xuan, it will be dark if you smell it again, if your nose is not good, let me do it for you." Then Song Qiao and Guan Mo both said that their sense of smell was as sensitive as that of a dog.

Meng Xuan pulled her head out of the cold incense and told everyone seriously: "Her fragrance is diluted by water, and it is mixed with the smell of aquatic plants, so you should smell more to show justice, neither wronged Miss He, nor buried Miss Qi." ”

Guan Mo asked impatiently, "Then what is the result of what you smelled?" Is the golden lock His sister's thing? ”

"Sister He?" Meng Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"yes, do you know what the hell? If you don't understand, please get out of the way! Guan Mo gritted his teeth when he said the word "please", and his tone dragged up to the sky.

"Oh, I smell so much that I can't understand it anymore," Meng Xuan's face was full of aftertaste and intoxication, and she nodded again and again, "That golden lock is Miss He's thing, there will be absolutely nothing wrong, I am sure of this, because her body is stained with that cold and indifferent orchid fragrance." Han Fang and the other five people who jumped in the ice water didn't smell a trace of the "orchid fragrance", but it made Meng Xuan, the person who intervened sideways, suck it to his heart's content, and suddenly the five people were so angry that their nostrils were dilated, and they made red-eyed bullfighting.

"Qi Mu'er! What else do you have to say? Liao Qing'er also made a red-eyed bullfight, and today she has to kill this little white rabbit.

Qi Mu'er suddenly changed from the aggressive mode just now to the pitiful mode, and immediately set off Liao Qing'er's face like a late girl. So, Mr. Zheng, who was close to his mother's face, came out to mediate: "It's all a misunderstanding, we all feel very sad when we lose Qian Peony, let's stop here today, everyone disperses!" Starting tomorrow, it will be a month-long New Year's holiday, and everyone should always read books at home and make progress from time to time! ”

"No way!" Meng Xuan and He Angelica stopped in unison, "Can't disperse!" ”

Mr. Zheng was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

Meng Xuan smiled and said: "This matter is not over yet, I see that Miss Qian does not look like she drowned, the cause of death is suspicious, so I asked my little servant to report to the official early in the morning, and the official will arrive soon, please be patient for a moment and stay to be a witness." ”

Mr. Bao opened his eyes wide to see the corpse on the ground, and asked incredulously, "Not drowned?" But we had hundreds of eyes looking at her drowning! ”

Meng Xuan didn't say anything more, turned around with his negative hand, and in the sound of everyone's gasp, he picked up He Angelica and flew into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Holding her on top of a verdant bamboo, he pressed to her ear and said, "If an ant falls into the water, throwing a leaf can save it, and I will do such a thing." But if a person falls into the water, I have to jump into the water to save him, I used to do such a thing, but now I have to weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to save him, no matter how good the water is. If my kindness can only reach the level of a leaf, then you say, am I a good person like this, Xiaoyi? ”

He Angelica turned his head to look at him in surprise: "You know? How do you know ......" Her eyes widened in surprise, and she felt as if her breathing had stopped for a moment. Because his breathing suddenly blocked hers.

The pair of clear eyes that were close at hand were glistening with tears.
