"My lord, Qiao Hong's store has now opened in Shangjing, and he said that his family is poor, so he is obviously lying!" Zhu Zhixing suddenly jumped out and said.

"Yes, his family's dogwood noodles have been sold to Shangjing, and the family sits every day to collect money, and everyone in Yaoshan sends gifts to his house! Can this also be called poor? The students in the crowd said enviously.

For a while, the condemnation of Qiao Hong followed, and the senior brothers accused Qiao Hong's family of being poor.

Qiao Hong looked at them all with anxious eyes, and understood how disgusted they were with everything he had, and how much they wanted to see him banned from scientific research, kicked out of the academy by Professor Wei, and returned to the dust of his slavery.

Calm down, he saw through their mood at the moment, he would not do what they wanted, let alone resist for his own possession, they only knew jealousy and hatred, they didn't know that his mother risked her life to enter Yaoshan alone in order to earn a copper plate, and she didn't know that in order to let him enter the academy, his mother showed up and looked for a private school willing to take him in, and he wanted to cherish everything he had now.

He said with a smile in front of everyone: "My family has only begun to improve in the past few months, and I have just returned home, how can I not know the hardships of hard life, and how can I hollow out the sheep's pen and stuff it into the paper, this kind of violent practice is really a waste of a good pen!" How can I be like this as a student? Besides, this pen has been used, but it has not been washed, how can adults, students be so spoiled with their favorite things? The pen must be cleaned after use, even if it is not cleaned, it cannot be so frizzy to put it in the bookcase for such an important exam! ”

Saying that, he took the ink on the pen and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and couldn't help but sneer: "My lord, you smell the ink on this piece, and when you smell it, it is not the ink that ordinary people can afford. ”

Xue Yiheng listened patiently, what Qiao Hong said made some sense, but he was not easy to fool, just these two points he said could prove that he did not cheat, and it should be good to think of his family.

"It's not impossible for your family to buy a hollow pen, and that doesn't constitute evidence!"

His meaning is obvious, what evidence is there, provide it as soon as possible, this evidence is not enough to prove his innocence.

The students on the side listened to Xue Yiheng's tone softened, and did not immediately deal with Qiao Hong, afraid that he would let Qiao Hong go, Chi Xingchang jumped out and tried his best to arch the fire: "My lord, my lord, don't listen to him, this must be his, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the Xiucai exam, so he wants to cheat, he has been clever and deceived the adult, please immediately deal with this person in accordance with the law, drive him out of Yaoshan Academy, and be banned from the scientific examination for life." ”

Zhu Zhixing also stood up and said: "My lord, this guy is the same as his mother, black and white can talk nonsense, can you not listen to him!" This money was searched out of his bookcase, naturally he wanted to cheat and bring it in, he said so much, it was because he saw that the matter was exposed, so he was anxious to push the matter to others, how could adults let go of this kind of person? ”

Qiao Hong saw that they were a raccoon dog, and angrily hugged his fists again and said: "My lord, the student just said that the evidence is not only the pen, but also the bookcase!" Please take this pen and put the pen and ink in the bookcase on the tip of your nose and sniff it. ”

"Adult, the student knows that he is not allowed to wear sandwich clothing in the examination hall, so the student only wears this single clothing, and the adults who checked the clothes just now can prove it! Do you smell it? There is a smell of medicine on the pen and ink used by the students, just because the students will have a rash on the body when they enter the autumn and winter, so my mother found a doctor to prepare the medicine for the students, and the ink needs to stay with the students for three quarters of an hour to be contaminated with the fragrance of medicine, but this sheep pen has no medicinal fragrance, it is obvious that this pen is not a student, someone stuffed it into the student's bookbox, the purpose is to make the student unable to enter the scientific examination for life. ”

Xue Yiheng took the pen and sniffed at the tip of his nose, and sure enough, as Qiao Hong said, the broken sheep's hair pen had no fragrance, while other pens and inks, including the bookcase, had a taste.

He wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Hong and the students, thinking about it.

Zhu Zhixing saw that Xue Yiheng was going to investigate this matter, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this money may have been given to him by his mother in the morning, is there any fragrance that is considered evidence?" ”

Qiao Hong immediately refuted: "My mother is Chenshi, and now it's time, and the pen is somewhat sticky, but this pen is not, which means that when the student came to the examination institute, someone took the opportunity to put it in!" Because the time is short, the pen is tasteless. ”

Zhu Zhixing wanted to say it, but Xue Yiheng took the lead.

Xue Yiheng asked sharply: "Who do you suspect?" ”

Qiao Hongzuo said: "My lord, among the students present, whoever wears sandwich clothes may be who!" ”

Xue Yiheng recalled Qiao Hong's words and felt reasonable, only by wearing sandwich clothes can he put the pen in his sleeve, otherwise he can only put one pen in the pen case, and he can't put two pens without a bookbox.

He shouted: "Check, go and find out who wore sandwich clothes to enter the examination institute, and they all called over!" ”

Over the years, they only took off these clothes wearing mezzanine and put them outside the examination hall, and then returned them to them after they finished the exam.

Qiao Hongyu said: "My lord, don't bother, the student almost already knows who it is!" ”

"Who is it? You said! Xue Yiheng said.

Qiao Hong pointed his finger to the student who had finished checking behind Xue Yiheng, and everyone looked at him with his gaze, and the person pointed to by his finger turned out to be Xu Zihang.

Xu Zihang saw Qiao Hong testifying against him, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and his face changed instantaneously.

"Qiao Hong, why did you slander me? I just stood up and spoke for you, and you turned your face and took revenge on me? ”

Qiao Hong said unhurriedly: "Senior Brother Xu, if I expected it to be good, you just spoke for me and deliberately approached me, since I entered the examination institute, only you have touched my bookcase, and only you have worn sandwich clothes, do you think I don't know the rules of the examination institute?" ”

After speaking, Qiao Hong snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth curled up and sneered, and glanced at him.

Xu Zihang stood in the door of the examination institute, and when he saw Qiao Hong's face not changing to testify against him, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, Qiao Hong slandered the students, and the students wore the mezzanine because they were afraid of the cold. ”

Xue Yiheng listened to the dialogue between the two, lowered his head and thought, and did not rush to respond to Xu Zihang.

Zhu Zhixing and Chi Xingchang saw that Qiao Hong had found an opportunity to prove it, and they made preparations in advance, and they immediately took a look at Qiao Maoshu at the end.

But seeing that Qiao Maoshu raised his eyebrows at them and gave them a look, the two of them suddenly understood what he meant, turned their faces, and while the examiner was still suspicious, they started to fire together.
