Chapter 223 Punishment for Two Crimes

Qian Wanjin had to say something, but was stopped by Liu Yusheng, "There is no need for the shopkeeper to be embarrassed, we will leave now."

"Fu Nan Nan!" Qian Wanjin frowned.

They didn't do anything wrong. They slipped away in such a dreadful way. Not to mention shame. Now, in the major inns in the city, the students are still waiting for the list, and they can't book new rooms.

Where do they live?

Liu Yusheng pursed his lips and said, "Let's go to the Gongyuan!"

Liu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded, "Yes, go to Gongyuan! The exam has just ended, and all examiners need to mark the test papers in Gongyuan, so let's go directly to the chief examiner to submit a petition!"

The Liu family was refreshed and said nothing more. They packed up their things and got on the carriage, and drove straight to the Gongyuan.

"Go to the backyard of Gongyuan," Shi Xian said, "Before the rankings were released, the examiners lived there and marked the exam papers there."

Because the exam had just ended, before the announcement of the rankings, officers and soldiers were guarding the front and rear gates of the Gongyuan, and the security was heavily guarded.

The Liu family wanted to ask to see him, but were directly stopped outside the door.

Looking at the guards blocking the door, Liu Yusheng said solemnly, "My brother Liu Zhixia was framed for cheating in the examination room, we just want to ask for justice and innocence. I heard that Mr. Yang is an honest and fair official, and the people have grievances. Tell me, does he want to hear and turn a blind eye?"

"During the imperial examinations, the Gongyuan was an important place! How could you and the others make noise here! If you have any grievances to appeal, you can go to the yamen. If you want to make trouble again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Qian Wanjin's violent temper, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush up, but Shi Xianrou took the lead.

Condensing his inner strength, Shi Xianrou raised his voice in the courtyard, "Shi Xianrou from the General's House of Zhennan came to ask to see Lord Yang! Lord Yang is a great Confucian with a great reputation in the court. Young talents can be of great use. Some students have been slandered in this examination room. If the grievances cannot be appealed in time, the future of the students will be ruined, and the court will lose a useful talent! This is definitely not what Mr. Yang wants. So I'm waiting to ask Lord Yang to take the time to see you!"

Shi Xianrou's voice spread far away. After saying these words, she took the Liu family back a few steps and stood in front of the door to wait quietly.

When the guards saw this, they stopped chasing them away, so as not to drive the wrong person out of their own volition and be punished by Master Yang in the end.

Listening to their vows, maybe there is a hidden meaning.

The calm and wit exuded by the woman's words and actions caused Qian Wanjin's eyes to flicker, and inexplicable emotions surged in his heart.

This strange force girl was very different from what he thought before, and bit by bit overturned his initial impression.

Soon, there was movement inside the Gongyuan gate.

A servant-like person came out and glanced at a few people, "Master Yang, please come in and see."

done!

The Liu family was originally excited, and hurriedly followed behind the servants into the backyard hall.

There were two people sitting in the hall.

One was an old man with gray beard and a strong scribe's breath.

One is a middle-aged man in a fourth-grade official uniform with a majestic face.

Shi Xianrou first bowed to the old man, "Shi Xianrou from the General's House of Zhennan has seen Mr. Yang."

Liu Yusheng and the others followed and worshipped.

The old man looked at Shi Xianrou, "You are the second daughter of General Shi's family, Shi Xianrou? I haven't seen each other for many years, and you have grown so big in the blink of an eye. Eighteen changes in the female college."

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that Mr. Yang still remembers Xianrou. My father often mentioned you to me, saying that you are the most famous scholar today. Next time I go back to Beijing, Xianrou should come to visit us officially."

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, call your father at that time, the old man also wants to have two glasses of wine with him, hahaha!"

At this point, the conversation changed, "But now, let's deal with this matter first. I know about cheating in the examination room today, and the punishment was still imposed by me. I will listen to you to talk about it carefully, so as not to be called a foolish official and ruin the future of talented people in vain."

Shi Xianrou's remarks outside the door were intended to force Lord Yang to meet him, but he didn't expect that he would use it to ridicule him at this time.

The old man looked at Liu Zhixia, who was supported by Qian Wanjin and Liu Da, "I remember you, you are the student who was caught cheating in the exam room, your name is Liu Zhixia, tell me, how did you get framed? If you dare to fool this officer, this officer will punish you severely!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhixia stepped forward and knelt down with a firm gaze, "Student Liu Zhixia, I have seen Mr. Yang. The student was indeed wronged for cheating in the examination room, and every word he said next was the truth, and he would never dare to deceive and hide it. , I hope you can see it clearly!"

After a pause, Liu Zhixia began to slowly tell what happened in the examination room.

Exams, answering questions, just after finishing the exam papers, the prosecutor suddenly came to conduct random inspections and found the entrained cheat sheets from under his exam seat.

He then said he cheated and presented the note to the examiner, convicting him.

"Master Mingjian, that cheat sheet was not brought into the examination room by the kid, but someone deliberately did it to frame me in this way! The kid suspects that the person who framed me was the prosecutor who was in charge of the random inspection at that time! Because other than him, there was no The second person got close to the kid!"

At this moment, the middle-aged official sitting next to Mr. Yang snorted, "You are just a poor student, you don't know the prosecutor, and you have no grudges. Why did he murder you for no reason? What good does this do for him? It's just rhetoric, it's absurd!"

"If you want to investigate the reason, you must mention another person. This person's name is Liang Yu, and he is the nephew of the current prefect of Yunzhou!"

Hearing this sentence, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.

Very subtle changes, just happened to be seen by Liu Yusheng, his mind changed slightly, that is, the identity of the man was confirmed.

Wearing a fourth-grade official uniform and recognizing Liang Yu, he will draw emotions for that name. This person must be Hou Deye, the prefect of Yunzhou.

I didn't expect him to appear here at this time.

Liu Zhixia's words continued.

"A few years ago, Liang Yu participated in the county examination for the merits of being a scholar. He took a cheat sheet before the test and was accidentally bumped into by me. Later, when the matter was exposed in the examination room, he was fined for three years and not allowed to refer to it. He always mistook it for me. The secret, held a grudge against me for many years.

During the same time at Yunzhou College, Liang Yu gave me a lot of stumbling blocks. Every time I met, he was sneering and ridiculed.

Before this incident broke out, the boy had a conflict with Liang Yu at the inn. At that time, Liang Yu threatened to let the boy wait and see. There are many witnesses on the scene, just ask!

With his identity and background of power, the kid has reason to suspect that this time he was framed for cheating, and the matter is likely to have something to do with Liang Yu! "
