Transfer Fubao four and a half years old

Mr. Xiao: "That's not necessary. I'm going to the teacher appreciation banquet tomorrow, so I can definitely see him. He, as the head of the case, must say a few words on behalf of the students.

Has the water well in your village been drilled? Is it okay for the villagers to drink water now? "

Grandpa Yan: "Thank you, little master. The two wells have been dug and the water output is large! Everyone in the village is very happy to receive such care from the master. The village chief and the clan chief asked me to express their gratitude to you on my behalf."

After drinking a few cups of tea, Grandpa Yan briefly stated the case that happened in the alley today, expressed his suspicions, and expressed his concerns for the students who had suffered unreasonable disasters.

He pointed out the strangeness of this case, especially that it happened when Yan Yongning went out. If Yongning had walked that alley, he would have become the unfortunate person who was wrongly accused.

Mr. Xiao frowned after hearing this. He was obviously concerned about this case. He also felt from Grandpa Yan's words that this might be a man-made case.

Mr. Xiao took a deep breath and had a clearer understanding of the seriousness of the incident: "Yan Xiucai, who do you think is the biggest suspect?"

After thinking for a moment, he realized the sensitivity of this question and answered cautiously: "I'm afraid it may be related to the initiator of the cheating case in the last scientific examination, but after all, there is no conclusive evidence, and no one dares to make a conclusion."

Grandpa Yan then mentioned that Yao Fucai came into his home to find Yan Yongning two days ago and expressed the hope that Mr. Xiao could sponsor him. He also described in detail the conflict between the two at that time. This information allowed Mr. Xiao to have a better analysis of the case.

"I already know about this matter, because it involves students from the county school. I have just sent someone to notify Dean Gao of the county school and asked him to come over immediately. Why don't you discuss the case with Dean Gao and others. "

Grandpa Yan nodded in agreement. He knew that Mr. Xiao's decision was to safeguard justice and peace, and he was deeply grateful for it. He looked forward to finding the truth, not only for Yan Yongning and the wronged scholar, but also to maintain harmony and fairness. .

Mr. Xiao also told Grandpa Yan that Miss Shen's carriage was coming from Xiangzhou County. They had sent documents to surrounding counties asking for assistance in investigating Miss Shen's family situation, but there was no result for so long, mainly because Miss Shen could not provide any information. A bit of useful information.

While he was talking, a government official came in and announced: "Dean Gao and Madam Chen are here."

"It's just in time. Let them sit in the meeting hall first. I also want to hear their opinions."

But he was also surprised, why did Dean Gao also find the scholar's relatives so quickly?

"Now that Mrs. Chen is here, you should also accompany her. I'm afraid the relatives may not be in the right mood. Anyway, I just invite them to have a casual chat. It's okay."

After listening to Mr. Xiao's words, Grandma Yan and Yan Qinghua were still a little hesitant, feeling like they couldn't help.

However, seeing Mrs. Xiao also signaled, she followed behind and went out.

When I came to the front hall, I discovered that besides the two masters and Madam Chen, there was also Yan Yongning with Dean Gao.

After greeting each other, Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "Yongning, I mentioned you to your father just now, but I didn't expect you to actually come."

Yan Yongning quickly made a deep bow: "Students have met Mr. Xiao. Thanks to Dean Gao's kindness, students are allowed to come and observe, so as to gain more knowledge."

Mr. Xiao: "Okay, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. It is right to read more and think more."

The dean bowed apologetically: "Students from the county school have had accidents one after another. Gao felt deeply guilty. When the official went over to inform him just now, the two masters and Yongning happened to be there. The Yongning student felt that this case was similar to the cheating last time. The false accusation cases are exactly the same, and I and my wife also feel that they are indeed similar, so we came to take a look together."

The teacups were already placed on the table in the front hall, the adults set seats for them, and a boy served them tea.

Sitting next to Yan Yongning, there was also a very neatly dressed aunt, wearing fine blue-gray fine cotton. Her hair was tied into a simple bun, with only a silver hairpin on her head. She looked at Bi Yan. Grandma is younger and also a neat person.

Dean Gao introduced that this was Chen Jichang, the scholar's mother - Mrs. Chen.

After watching a few people exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Chen took a few steps forward and knelt down to Mr. Xiao.

"Sir, you have to redress my son's grievance. Jichang has been an honest child since he was a child. He never causes trouble and is not a thief.

Although our Chen family is not wealthy, we are still well off and have never been short of food and drink for our children. He has great ambitions and will never ruin his reputation for money.

Moreover, when Jichang went out today, he was accompanied by his classmates, not alone. His classmates can also testify. "

Mrs. Chen burst into tears as she spoke. Her eyes, which were already swollen and blistered, became even redder. She must have been worried all the way.

Dean Gao: "After the accident, the students who were with Chen Jichang immediately ran to report the situation to us. According to him, because the alley was narrow and there were many people, they walked one behind the other and did not stop in the alley. There was no time to commit the crime. .

Chen Jichang was walking in front, and a thin man did bump into Chen Jichang. Somehow the money got into Chen Jichang's arms, but the person who had lost the money immediately came out and grabbed Chen Jichang and wouldn't let him go. This was too strange. . "

Mrs. Chen was crying and kowtowing, her head was swollen. Mr. Xiao could only step forward to give Mrs. Xiao a hand and motioned to Mrs. Xiao next to her. Mrs. Xiao stepped forward quickly, and Yan Qinghua followed suit, helping Mrs. Chen down and sat down. , women and children were sitting in the back row of them.

Seeing how ugly she was crying, Grandma Yan held her shoulders and comforted her softly: "Sister, don't worry, Mr. Xiao is a good official and will give you a fair judgment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have approached Dean Gao and Mrs. Gao before the trial. Come and discuss.”

When she saw Mrs. Chen, she brought her mother-in-law with her. There was no man around her, and she didn’t know if the head of the family was not at home or not. When such a big thing happened, she would have been confused if she had been in it. Grandma Yan couldn’t help but think again. I whispered a few words of concern.

Master Xiao asked: "How does Dean Gao view this matter?"

"As Mrs. Chen said, student Chen Jichang has always been very diligent in the academy. He also gets along harmoniously with his classmates and is united and friendly. He is a very honest and just person. There is no petty theft. He also ranked fifth in this academy examination. .

This case is still a bit strange. It is indeed similar to the case of Qin Ziye last time. I am afraid that the murderer behind it will be the same person.

I hope that the young master can conduct a strict investigation, bring the real culprit to justice, and give justice to the students. If such a sinister murderer becomes an official, it will be a disaster for the common people. "

Dean Gao stood up and bowed respectfully to Master Xiao before expressing his concerns.

Dean Gao's analysis is similar to what Grandpa Yan thought.

Mr. Xiao: "This matter is indeed strange, but one hundred taels of silver was indeed found from Chen Jichang, and there was also a victim who testified against it. It would be really difficult if no favorable evidence can be found."

Everyone was deep in thought, and Mrs. Chen's tears started flowing down again. If Grandma Yan hadn't held her down, she would have knelt down again.

Mr. Xiao suddenly changed the topic: "Yan Yongning, what do you think of this case?"
