When Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu got off the carriage, the government office was already surrounded by water. in the hall."

   "Why so many people?"

   Zhao Ning sneered: "We didn't know about it until we left the examination room, otherwise the commotion would be even bigger, and the inside was surrounded by students from all over the place. Everyone is waiting for the Zhou Zhifu to give us an explanation."

   The day before yesterday, the candidates came off the field, slept for half a day and all night, and got up the next day to go to the same year to find out the answers. As a result, they got such an explosive news, which directly shocked them on the spot.

  Wensheng, Qiao Xu and others are not unknown people, their fame may not be as good as Gu Jingyunsheng, but it is not much worse.

Classmates, fellow villagers, and the same year of the academy examination, these are all contacts. When I learned that they were framed and could not refer to them, the candidates who just came out of the examination room were instantly angry. This kind of thing can never be tolerated, because jealousy and jealousy can hurt people. , especially Chang Kuan's death is especially heartbreaking.

   Therefore, everyone came to help out early in the morning. This was not only a fair and just struggle, but also a struggle between poor students and the second generation of officials.

  The crowd outside was furious and the heat was in full swing. Behind the palace, the atmosphere was condensed, and the depression before the storm was brewing.

   Zhou Yi sighed and whispered to Ou Tongju: "Brother Ou, it's really hard to go against the public opinion. It is said that Wen Sheng has obtained complete evidence, so you have to be mentally prepared."

  Ou Tongju's already ugly face was even more ugly, but he still squeezed out a smile and nodded slightly to Zhou Zhifu: "Thank you sir for reminding me."

   Zhou Yi nodded and turned to leave, as if he hadn't seen Ou Dunyi who was behind Ou Tongjing.

  Ou Tongju stood for a long time, until Zhou Yi's back completely disappeared before turning around and said, "Let's go."

   "Second Uncle," Ou Dunyi gritted his teeth, knelt down with trembling legs, and prayed, "Second Uncle save me, this is all caused by Yuan Fang, and my classmates can testify..."

  Ou Tongshen looked at him coldly, "If I could push Yuan Fang on me, would I still involve you in it? Now you'd better pray that they torture witnesses, or change their confessions, otherwise..."

   "Second uncle, you can't do this, I'm the most promising son of the Ou family who can pass the examination and become a jinshi..."

   "Yes, but you are not the only child of the Ou family," Ou Tongjuan looked at him deeply and said, "You still have cousins, real brothers, you have to think about them."

  O Dunyi's face turned pale.

"If you don't die, you will be exiled for five hundred miles at most and sentenced to five years in prison. You can make a comeback when the rumors pass, but now that one person has died, those candidates are most likely to be incited..." Ou Tong didn't finish his sentence, meaning However, it is obvious that if the evidence is conclusive, Ou Tong's sentence will not be able to protect him.

   At that time, Ou Dunyi can only ask Ou Dunyi to take out the Ou family as much as possible and clear the relationship between the Ou family and this matter.

   Uncle and nephew had a sullen face, Ou Tong sentenced to be an observer, but Ou Dunyi had to stand in the hall.

   At this moment, Doctor Wu and Xu Wu, who was bound, were kneeling in front of the hall, and twenty-four candidates stood behind them. The three leaders were Gu Jingyun, Wen Sheng, and Qiao Xu.

  O Dunyi gave Gu Jingyun a stern look. He already knew that the cause of this incident was that Gu Jingyun's wife sued someone for sabotaging the rural exam and murdered the candidates for the rural exam.

   If not, no one will find out if this matter is not spread out, and he will be fine.

   So to ask O Dunyi who he hates most at this time, the first is Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, and the second is Yuan Fang.

   The plaintiff and the defendant are all present, as are witnesses.

   Zhou Zhifu went to court, and Gavel started the trial with one shot.

   His eyes swept across the hall, and cold sweat could not help oozing from his back. The case has developed so far that he has not decided how he wanted to decide.

  Gu Jingyun and the others have obtained evidence, and all the evidence points to Ou Dunyi.

  O Dunyi could only grit his teeth and say that they were extracting a confession, but they didn't do anything to Doctor Wu at all. Except for the imprints from the rope, Xu Wu had no trauma at all. Even if the doctor checked their bodies, they couldn't find out why.

And Dr. Wu was afraid that the scholars were really targeting the Wu family for revenge, so naturally he did not dare to revise the confession, but instead provided a lot of evidence, such as, "Because they are all prescribing medicines for the scholars, it is inevitable for the young to have doubts and go to the doctor. When I was so distracted, I realized that the reason why they had diarrhea was all because they ate a sweet-scented osmanthus cake provided by the inn."

"That sweet-scented osmanthus cake is a specialty snack in the inn. Not only is it well made, but it's also cheap. Candidates who live in the inn who can't afford a late-night snack will order one, and if they can't finish it in the evening, they can eat it in the morning. It's not easy to have a snack. It’s bad, it’s fine to stay for two days. But the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is mixed with some medicines that can cause diarrhea, which is covered by the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. Good at observing words and expressions, the book boy asked him to give prescriptions to several scholars one after another, but they all lived in the same inn, and he knew that the person who gave them the medicine was the person in the inn.

In order to prevent Ou Dunyi from killing his mouth, he also left a lot of evidence, such as, "One time the book boy went to the young man to prescribe a prescription for Wen Gongzi, and the young man saw that the jade hanging on his waist was very good, it was not like he could use it. When he got up, he asked one more question, he said that it was his master rewarded, and the little pee was harassing and begging for it, and now that jade is here..."

He said again: "The number of times we have cooperated has been so many, the youngest guessed that the young master should trust the youngest, and the youngest excused the bookboy to come to the youngest as too dangerous, so he asked them to write a note and hand it to me for any future instructions, This way, too much contact can be avoided, and the gentleman also agreed, and I now have two notes written by him in my hand."

   "How can you be sure that they will definitely see you?" Zhou Zhifu asked curiously.

"The small medical hall is located near the inn where the candidates are staying. Usually, they look for a doctor nearby. I just sit and wait for them to come before the other doctors." Dr. Wu said: " If the place is far away, I will go to the nearby area ahead of time according to the date he said, and as soon as people come out, I will carry the medical box and go forward, and then report the name of the medical center, and most people will invite me to the door, so I never miss it. "

   Not only witnesses, but also physical evidence.

  Doctor Wu did not revise his confession, and Xu Wu, who was afraid of being beaten, naturally did not dare to revise his confession, he gritted his teeth and said everything.

   It turned out that he not only hit people, but even threw things from upstairs and hit people.

   Zhou Zhifu glanced at the bloodless Ou Dunyi and ordered someone to go to the inn to arrest the chefs, especially the chefs who made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

  O Dunyi listened with a gloomy expression, turned his head and glanced at the crowd, and accurately saw Yuan Fang who was watching in the crowd.

When Yuan Fang met his eyes, Yuan Fang's heart skipped a beat, and her intuition was not good. Sure enough, Ou Dunyi, who had been standing upright, raised her robe, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Sir, the student confessed his guilt, these things were indeed ordered by the students, but the students also Bewitched by others, please forgive me."

   Yuan Fang's expression changed, and he clenched his fists tightly. He sneered in his heart. He had already prepared that he would frame him, and he had already prepared himself.

   "Oh?" Zhou Zhifu leaned forward slightly, "Who is it?"

  O Dunyi turned around, pointed at Yuan Fang in the crowd and said, "It's him, Yuan Fang, a classmate of the student."

  Yuan Fang immediately formed a circle around him, and everyone looked at him curiously.

   The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth were slightly raised. Baolu said that Yuan Fang was the culprit, but from the evidence they found, they couldn't identify Yuan Fang at all.

   But not being able to ask him about his sins doesn't mean they can't do anything.

  It will be a long time coming to Japan, if the enemy is determined, naturally he is not afraid of him running away.

   "He taught me all the methods here, and he also told me that those who were powerless and powerless and whose grades were slightly better than me could not refer to it. It would be easier for me to get good grades.

   Yuan Fang gave a wry smile, and bowed with a face full of grievances and distress: "Sir, how dare a student act like this."

He turned his head to Ou Dunyi and said, "Brother Ou, I really regretted it at the beginning. If I didn't mention these strange things, maybe you wouldn't get into obstacles. In the end, you did such evil things, which made it impossible for so many in the same year. For reference, it even caused Brother Chang's death to Huangquan."

After speaking, he bowed to the Zhou Zhifu in the hall with shame and said: "Sir, I was studying abroad before the next autumn, and I am very interested in some strange stories, and because I am a scholar, I especially like to collect some strange things about scholars. Among them, there are demons and ghosts who seduce students who are rushing to take the exam, so that they cannot take the exam in time, and there are goblins who are reluctant to give up the scholar to take the exam, for fear that they will abandon her after taking the exam. There are all kinds of weird things. It was just a little story to relieve boredom, who knew that Dun Yi would take it seriously."

   Wen Sheng then set his eyes on Yuan Fang's face, his eyes were cold, how could he just collect these stories so coincidentally?

   also let Ou Dunyi learn from it.

   The others were not fools, and all looked at Yuan Fang.

Yuan Fang was not annoyed, and continued: "The students love these miscellaneous notes, so they have sorted out a lot of them, and these are only a small part. After the incident, I also guessed that the means of my miscellaneous notes made Dun Yi think wrong. But if I think it was me who gave him the idea, I don’t. My miscellaneous journals contain everything, but most of them are repayment of gratitude.

  Yuan Fang was frank and frank, which made everyone's doubts go away a lot.

   Even Wen Sheng's eyes were milder.

  O Dunyi raised his head "hoo", glared at him fiercely and said, "Yuan Fang, you didn't tell me other stories, you just ordered these to tell me."

Yuan Fang shook her head sadly and disappointedly, "Brother Ou, you, how could you falsely accuse me like this, all my classmates know that I love miscellaneous notes, I often tell them strange stories, they have heard everything you have heard, you, you How can people misunderstand me so out of context?"

A scholar in the crowd who was studying with Ou Dunyi and Yuan Fang hurriedly said, "Brother Yuan is right, he does often tell me some strange things, and sometimes he even tells ghost stories to scare us. Did we hear ghost stories? You have to learn from the ghosts in the story to kill people? It’s obviously that Ou Dunyi’s mind is not right, and he wants to be crooked, so how can you blame Brother Yuan?”
