"Oh, I was negligent, you two will come back at the end of the afternoon."

Wen Han was so anxious that he was about to cry: "My father was wronged, maybe he will come to the hall tomorrow morning, and ask my uncle to help spread the word." ”

"No, two little brothers, don't embarrass me, so late, the master will definitely not see anyone."

Wen Jin was so angry that she just wanted to scold her mother, this guy is so bad, he doesn't do anything after receiving money.

Wen Han pitifully took out the defense book: "Ask the uncle to hand this in." ”

"Why are you so annoyed, hurry up." The man wanted to turn his face a little.

Wen Jin suddenly thought about it: "Uncle, my brother is the top of the county exam personally ordered by the county magistrate this year, if you send this debate to it, maybe the lord will praise you for your eyesight and being a good person." ”

Menzi was stunned and said in surprise: "Really? ”

"Yes, my brother's name is Qian Wenhan, he just returned home from the provincial government today, he has already won the show, although the ranking is not obvious, but my brother is only fifteen years old, in time, he will be brilliant and have a bright future."

Menzi's eyes changed obviously, and after a little hesitation, he asked them to wait for a while, took the defense letter and sent it in, and after about a quarter of an hour, he came out and let them in.

Liu Quanhan interrogated the person who harbored the stolen goods in the morning, and he was also a little suspicious in his heart, this Qian Xiancheng seems to be Qian Xiancong's brother, and he has a son who took the exam this year, how could he harbor the stolen goods? Although he was suspicious, the thief man said it well, and he even knew that there was a seedling bed at the back of the house, and he had to believe it, he went to Wei Chenglan's house for a private visit, and talked to Wen Han about raising seedlings, knowing that the Qian family had a seedling bed, but he didn't know that it was in the backyard.

But the thief knew that he had to believe it. Now that he has received Wen Han's defense, although there is no actual content on it, he still decided to see it.

The trial list of the hospital, the province will naturally write the place, and announce the results, Liu Quanhan At this moment, he has not received the official document, and he doesn't know that Wen Han has won it. At this moment, the word "student" was written on the post, knowing that he was on the list, Liu Quanhan was very happy and thought that he was a discerning talent. can think that Qian Xiancheng is innocent, it is good to say, if he is really in the quagmire, such a good child will be ruined, and he regrets it again.

After studying with Wang Juren for half a year, Wen Han's every move was different from before, especially when he met Liu Quanhan, the etiquette was perfect.

"My lord, the student is here because of his father's affairs, he has been cautious all his life, has been kind to others, and has squandered money for righteousness, and it is impossible for him to harbor stolen goods for thieves."

Liu Quanhan is still a relatively kind person, he pondered for a while and said: "Your father has not been escorted yet, and you have to ask for details." I believe what you said, your father was not greedy for money, but the thief said that he was cowardly and afraid of things, and was forced to do it. ”

This really stumped Wen Han and Wen Jin, Qian Xiancheng was indeed timid.

The room was silent for a while, Wen Jin only felt very depressed, and it was a little difficult to breathe, and after a while, Wen Han spoke again: "Although my father is a little timid and afraid, he is very dignified, and he will never be threatened by others to do such a pickled thing." ”

Liu Quanhan still has some doubts.

Wen Jin helped the second uncle to defend himself: "Master, my family's nursery bed was built in the spring three years ago, and today the servant ordered someone to open it, it should be able to see that there is no new mark in it at all, and the thief can't grasp it so well, as long as the time is not right, you can find out that he is framed." ”

"Be careful!" Liu Quanhan came to the spirit.

Wen Jin explained the principle of the kang again, and then said: "When raising seedlings, you need to burn firewood to warm the kang, the inside has long been blackened, if it is changed later, you can see it when you open it, and the color is different." My nursery bed only took a year, and it was never touched again, even if my second uncle burned another fire in order to hide, where is it the same as burning for half a month? ”

"Well, that's true, but you didn't find any stolen goods in your seedbed, what if the thief said he didn't remember it, and then changed places?"

Wen Han opened his mouth, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

Wen Jin's big eyes flickered, and he suddenly had a way: "Master, the villain has a suggestion, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”

After listening to Wen Jin's words, Liu Quanhan slapped his palms happily: "Ah, what a clever plan!" Qian Xiucai is very smart, and your younger brother is also a talent. He thought for a while and said: "According to the statute that this case will not be tried tomorrow, for the sake of your filial piety, I will still be promoted to the court once in the afternoon, and if I can prove your father's innocence, he will suffer less grievances!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Wen Han could have not knelt, but he also kowtowed with Wen Jin at this moment, and sincerely thanked Liu Quanhan for his accommodation.

Liu Quanhan is really a clean official, and he was promoted to the court on time the next afternoon. The thief and Qian Xiancheng were brought to court together, and Qian Wenhan, as a son, went to court to defend his father and followed him.

When the thief heard that the person he had framed, his son had just been caught in Xiucai, and his face was very ugly.

Liu Quanhan asked the thief to tell in detail when and where the stolen goods were buried.

"The winter before last, the night before the winter solstice, and it snowed a lot in the second half of the night, and he and I—", the thief pointed at Qian Xiancheng solemnly, "and carried the things to his backyard, that is, behind the seedling bed, where he dug out a hole and stuffed things in." ”

"How big is something? How big is the hole? How tall is the seedling bed? Liu Quanhan asked.

"It was very dark, I couldn't see clearly, I just remembered a long earthen platform in all directions. The largest thing is a copper incense burner, and the smaller one is a silver coin, which is not big. The thief said.

"How did you know Qian Xiancheng?"

"I met Wang Ju when he was working at his house, he copied books there, and I did the cleaning work."

Wen Han suddenly pointed angrily at the thief: "Did you exchange the inkstone in my father's room with a broken one?" It hurt him to be busy all winter, and he didn't get a penny! ”

The thief pursed his lips disdainfully: "It was done by the steward Wang Xiling, a broken inkstone, I am not rare." ”

Liu Quanhan was shocked: "Back to business, Wang San, you said that the stolen goods were hidden in the seedling bed, why didn't you find them?" ”

Wang San was very shocked, and his eyes glared at Qian Xiancheng widely: "You, you, where did you put Dong**?" ”

Qian Xiancheng was so angry: "I don't know you!" ”

"Qian Xiancheng, I just saw that you were honest, so I took the east ** your family, I didn't expect you to dare to swallow it privately, I, I, if I don't die, I will definitely be with you."

Qian Xiancheng was angry: "I was wronged, master, I don't know him." ”

Liu Quanhan pointed at Qian Xiancheng and asked Wang San: "Do you know him?" ”

"I know, he is Qian Xiancheng from Linjin Town, and later moved to Shanwo Village."

Liu Quanhan looked like he was about to close the case, and said again: "You are optimistic, is this person Qian Xiancheng?" ”

The thief looked at him and looked at him, and said with great certainty, "Yes, it is him!" ”

An errand officer stepped forward, and Liu Quanhan asked, "This person is also called Qian Xiancheng, have you made a mistake?" ”

The thief looked at it, and saw that the hands of the servant were rough and full of calluses, and although his complexion was fair, his skin was dry, and he was obviously often exposed to the sun, and he was simply an errand officer disguised as a peasant, so he kowtowed and said, "I don't know this man!" ”

"A bold fanatic, who dares to frame a good citizen, does not move the punishment, forgive you for not recruiting!" Liu Quanhan was shocked, "This person is Qian Xiancheng from Shanwo Village, it can be seen that you are a bunch of nonsense!" ”

Wang San's eyes suddenly widened in shock, he thought that his lie was seamless, but he didn't expect it to be revealed so quickly.

The people who watched the trial at the entrance of the yamen couldn't help but discuss, and praised Zhixian as a rare genius and a real "master of the blue sky".

The interrogation that followed had nothing to do with the Qian family, Liu Quanhan let their family withdraw, including "fake Qian Xiancheng" - Liang Mancang, the shopkeeper of Xiwang Village, who came to the county seat yesterday to do business, and was invited by the officials to be an extra this morning.

The official saw Qian Wenhan first, and when he was looking for someone on the street in the morning, he was not so similar to Qian Xiancheng, but he was just Sven and Baijing, otherwise, the third thief didn't quibble that he didn't see it clearly?

Qian Xiancheng took his son and nephew at the gate of the county government and kowtowed to Liang Mancang: "Thank you!" ”

"Don't, get up!" Liang Mancang dodged away from this big gift, and said with a smile, "Get up, if it weren't for this, how would I know that there are such wicked people in the world." ”

Qian Xiancheng sighed: "If it weren't for Lord Qingtian to return my innocence, what face would I have in this life to live in the world?" He asked where Liang Mancang's house was, and said sincerely, "I will go to Xiwang Village in the near future, and thank Brother Liang for his great kindness!" ”

"How can I have any kindness to you, you are a blessing from the county master."

"That great kindness, I will naturally repay it!"

Liang Mancang said goodbye to them with a smile, he still had to do the goods and rush home.

It was late, Qian Xiancheng suffered in prison last night, and he was a little staggering when he walked, so the three of them had to go to the inn to stay, Wen Jin opened two rooms, and said to Wen Han with a good look: "Brother helps the second uncle wash and wash, and also talk to him." ”

Qian Xiancheng almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he was already sleepy at this time, and he didn't have the heart to think about why Wen Jin didn't want a three-person room, but Wen Han's mind was elsewhere, and he had no objections.

The weather was still hot, Xiao Er brought hot water, Wen Han helped his father scrub, and helped beat his legs, Qian Xiancheng fell asleep quickly, but he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the room in a daze.

Today's plan to make people pretend to be Qian Xiancheng was Wen Jin, he was sincerely happy for his younger brother, but he was worried about his future, this time he successfully passed the hospital exam, he did not get carried away when he was happy. In more than half a month, it will be the township examination, Wen Han could have tried his luck, but he found that not only did he fail to be admitted to the school students, but he was even three places short of being epiphytes, and he was the third class among the talents. The ranking of his house test is not very good, but the house test to the hospital test, there are still three months of study time, he thinks that he will study hard, and he will definitely be able to improve, but the hospital test to the township test, but there is only less than 20 days, he is almost consumed back and forth, and there is no way to follow Wang Juren to study and improve.
