Chapter 143: Confrontation
Yue Mingzhu even wiped away the non-existent tears in the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief.
The beauty wept, and even the old man suddenly felt pity.
The dean hurriedly said: "I know that Mingxuan is innocent, but there is really no evidence to prove that he is innocent, but if you have evidence, I will immediately return Mingxuan's innocence." β
Yue Mingzhu said as if she saw hope: "Really? β
The dean nodded that it was indeed true.
The beauty burst into tears and laughed, and immediately said: "Dean, we met my third brother's classmate Liu Zhiyang yesterday, he probably framed the third brother too guilty, and his conscience couldn't get by, so he took the initiative to confess the truth to us, you see, this is a confession written by him himself, with his signature and handprint." Yue Mingzhu said and took out the confession and handed it to the dean.
The dean took the confession and looked at it carefully.
Liu Zhiyang's grades are not obvious, and he is not familiar with him as the dean, but how can this word be written a little strangely, it seems to be caused by insufficient wrist strength.
He looked up at the brother and sister, was it really Liu Zhiyang's conscience that had discovered it?
He asked the doubts in his heart: "Why does this word look a little shaky?" β
Yue Mingzhu was not in a hurry, and replied like a stream: "The dean is really good eyesight, when Liu Zhiyang confessed to us yesterday, because of his uneasy conscience, he cried bitterly, so that he trembled all over, weak and weak, he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he specially wrote this confession, I am afraid that my third brother will not be able to settle his grievances."
Although Liu Zhiyang framed my third brother, I have to say that the dean, you taught well, and he still found out in time with his conscience.
So I begged the dean to give him another chance, after all, the prodigal son would not change his money. β
Liu Zhiyang happened to hear these words when he walked to the door of the dean, and instantly forgot the pain in his body, and he was extremely moved.
Brother Mingxuan's little sister is as benevolent and generous as Brother Mingxuan.
He thought that after admitting this, the road to study would come to an end, but he didn't want to have a glimmer of life.
That being the case, what reason does he have for not returning Brother Mingxuan's innocence?
Even if he fights to the death, he will bite Han Xiuyuan to death, and he will not be able to repay Brother Mingxuan and his little sister for their kindness in his life.
As if he had made up his mind, he knelt down in front of the dean with a pop as he entered the door.
Shame and shame: "Dean, it was my lard that blinded my heart and did such a despicable and shameless thing, the students have read the sages in vain for so many years, and wasted your teachings, Dean, they deserve to die."
Brother Mingxuan has a noble character and good talent, and he will definitely be able to win glory for Nanshan Academy in the Xiucai Examination next year, and losing Brother Mingxuan is a loss for Nanshan Academy.
The student knows that he has made a big mistake, so he just wants to stop the loss in time and return Brother Mingxuan's innocence. β
Liu Zhiyang's words were reasonable and well-founded, which made Yue Mingzhu look at him with admiration.
Although this person is mediocre in reading, he is a talent.
If this matter only involves Yue Mingxuan's personal interests, the dean may not have so much motivation, and if it rises to the interests of the entire academy, the dean has to pay attention to it.
Sure enough, the dean's face became serious.
Their Nanshan Academy is considered to be a better academy in the town, but it is far from enough in the entire county or even the prefecture.
Over the years, the academy has never had a case in the Xiucai examination, and it is even rarer.
He is no longer young, he is eager to make Nanshan Academy famous in the entire city, and at that time, as the dean of Nanshan Academy, he will also be able to go down in history.
Thinking like this, he looked at Liu Zhiyang and said: "Although you have made a big mistake, you know that you can make up for it if you are lost, and you have Yue Mingxuan's brothers and sisters to help you intercede, this dean will give you another chance, if you commit it again, you will be expelled from the academy." β
Liu Zhiyang kowtowed: "Thank you for the teachings of the dean, students will not dare to commit it again in this life." β
They have communicated well here, so can Han Xiuyuan admit that he harmed others?
The dean called Han Xiuyuan again, and when Han Xiuyuan saw this posture, he knew that it was not good, what happened?
But it's okay, he doesn't admit it, what can others do with him, can he still torture to extract a confession?
He is not a kid like Yue Mingxuan who has no support, he is a relative of the Han family in the county seat, and his cousin asked him to do this, so he will definitely not ignore him.
Yue Mingzhu didn't expect Han Xiuyuan to admit it, as long as she could return the third brother's innocence this time, she would solve the rest.
Han Xiuyuan pretended to be and said, "Dean, what are you calling the students for?" β
The dean handed him the confession written by Liu Zhiyang and asked him what he thought.
Han Xiuyuan shouted that he was wronged, saying that he was not familiar with Yue Mingxuan, he had never said anything, he had no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, and he had no motive to frame Yue Mingxuan at all.
In short, Han Xiuyuan refused to admit it, and shouted injustice, and even looked more wronged than Yue Mingxuan.
Liu Zhiyang knew that this time he must not be a grass on the wall, otherwise it would never end well.
He took out a purse from his arms under the gaze of everyone, and handed it to the dean with both hands: "Dean, please see, this is the purse that Han Xiuyuan gave me silver, at that time, I kept an eye, and there was no place for silver on my body, Han Xiuyuan gave it to me casually, and there was a Korean character embroidered on it." β
Han Xiuyuan was a little annoyed, he actually fell in love with this poor boy's way!
It's just that he thinks this way he can hold his handle? Too naΓ―ve!
He said calmly: "Dean, I have a lot of such purses, all of which are ordinary things, either lost or stolen, are common things, and purses can be embroidered by any embroiderer, and it is ridiculous and generous to use this as evidence." β
At this point, the matter is actually very clear, although Han Xiuyuan didn't admit it, but the dean felt that he did it and didn't run away, but he didn't investigate it in the end.
Without him, the details of each student were recorded in the academy when he was enrolled, and he didn't want to offend the Han family.
It is enough to be able to return Yue Mingxuan's innocence, there is no need to make extraneous branches and cause trouble to the academy in vain.
And so the matter ended hastily.
But in Yue Mingzhu's heart, this is just the beginning, and it is up to her to decide when and how it will end.
Let Han Xiuyuan and the Han family in the county seat be comfortable for two days, if something happens to them at this juncture, it will be easy for people to suspect his third brother, which is really inappropriate.
She actually looks down on this dean, she looks elegant, but she lacks the most important thing for a scholar, that is, integrity!
If a scholar has no integrity, it is no different from a person without a backbone.
Of course, it is not surprising that she understands the dean's approach, which is just human.
But she still hopes that the third brother can find an opportunity to break away from Nanshan Academy, and studying in such an academy will be difficult to become a great tool after all, and it will be difficult to go far.
People want to be sleek, but sleek is just the appearance, and being able to stick to the principle under the sleek appearance is what her third brother should do.
