The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

The next morning, the two people who had slept in each other's arms and woke up one after another couldn't help but blush when they looked at each other.

Ye Fanxing was the first to react. She angrily glared at Song Haoming, then stood up and tried to lift the quilt covering his legs, fearing that she had pressed on him because she had not slept well last night...

"Ahem...husband, I'm fine!"

Song Haoming quickly held down the quilt and added, "It's getting late. I guess everyone is waiting anxiously. Let's wash up first."

Ye Fanxing had no choice but to respond when she heard this. After all, she had important things to do today. She climbed down from the bed, tidied her clothes, carried Song Haoming to the wheelchair, and opened the door.

Shen Bai and Jiang Shu'er were seen each holding a basin of water, standing respectfully in front of the door.

"Please wash up, husband and master!"

Seeing the two of them bowing to him, Ye Fanxing was so scared that he quickly jumped to the side.

"...Wait...what are you guys doing?"

Shen Bai woke up and learned from his son Jiang Shuo that it was this young man who bought them and saved them from being bought and sold like commodities by human traffickers.

From Shen Bai's statement, Ye Fanxing learned that, in addition to being grateful, they, father and son, must be planning to rely on him and become his servants!

He slapped his head, wondering how could he have forgotten about the indenture?

"Well, you are not slaves, you are still good people, you are not allowed to do this!"

"Also, when we meet Qian Lizheng later, you guys will..."

Ye Fanxing thought about it and realized that he had brought this person back by himself, so it would be better for him to speak up when the time comes.

"Forget it, you guys just rest here in Baohe Hall first, and I'll come pick you up when I'm done."

As he said this, he took the basin of water from Shuo Ge'er's hand and went back into the room, leaving the father and son staring at each other with puzzled looks on their faces.

……

Just after the Chen hour, the drum at the east gate of the government office in Chiding Town was struck by Ye Fanxing "Dong Dong Dong!"

Ye Fanxing pushed the wheelchair and stood beside Song Haoming, standing at the front.

In the middle were seven evil people headed by Liu Liangwei, and Xu Yingdi and her son.

Xu Yingdi and her son were carried to the ground in a panic. They looked up at Ye Fanxing with eyes as sharp as blades, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

If they had not been unable to move at the moment, they would have pounced on him and bit him.

Following them were Qian Lizheng and others from Dalui Village, as well as people from the Liu, Li, and Zhao families.

Following three drum beats, the yamen gate slowly opened. Five yamen runners in black official uniforms stood on each side, holding half-red and half-white water and fire sticks. They looked serious, but whispered the word "mighty"...

The group of people entered the hall one after another. As for Qian Lizheng and others, they stood outside the hall, listening to the call and watching.

Lord Wang struck the gavel and looked at Ye Fanxing, who was kneeling on the ground, asking knowingly: "Who is kneeling in the hall? What grievances have you suffered that require you to strike the gavel to redress your grievances?"

"This is Ye Fanxing..."

"Sir!" Xu Yingdi screamed without caring about her image before Ye Fanxing finished speaking: "It was him! It was Brother Xing who beat the drum!"

"Yes, I can testify." Ye Wencai also echoed.

Everyone watching knew that this drum was not struck casually. Unless one was a person of honor, anyone who wanted the master to accept the petition would first be punished with ten strokes of the cane, no matter who it was.

Unfortunately, Xu Yingdi didn't know that it was Xing Ge'er who played the drum today, and the county magistrate would also think that it was Song Haoming who played it.

County Magistrate Wang initially believed that Ye Fanxing was a boy, and in order to avoid controversy, he decided not to hold a public trial of the case.

Later, he learned from the constable that Ye Fanxing believed that the victim was guilty. He also analyzed the harm caused by the current rumors and even began to suspect that he would protect the Liu family for money.

Therefore, the case will be tried in public.

"Bang!" Seeing that the people in the hall were so disrespectful to the court, County Magistrate Wang slammed the gavel.

"How dare you! If anyone again disrespects the court and speaks nonsense, he shall be punished with ten strokes of the cane as a warning to others!

"I am Song Haoming, a student from Dalui Village. I am a scholar and I have a grievance to appeal. I ask the county magistrate to make a decision for me!"

Seeing that the court was quiet, Song Haoming spoke directly and took out the complaint. Ye Fanxing did it for him, bending down, raising his hands above his head, and solemnly presented it to the lawyer.

"Ye Xushi, Ye Wencai, and Song Xiucai are suing you two for colluding with others to steal and sell good boys. Do you admit this crime?"

"Sir! I am innocent. I am the plaintiff! I am suing my brother and his wife for being disobedient, disrespectful to our parents, and bullying our brothers."

When Lord Wang saw that Xu Yingdi not only cried and refused to admit her guilt, but also started to bite back, he immediately became interested.

"Oh? Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?"

"Have!"

Xu Yingdi was determined to go all out. "My husband and brother have always been kind and honest people, but my unfilial brother and his son-in-law accused them of stealing and sent them to jail."

"And my scholar-in-law, who once gave me money as a gift, now turns against me and says that I owe him money."

As she spoke, she began to sob. Apart from repeating some repetitive things, she said how difficult it was for her to raise Ye Fanxing to this age. Anyway, she did not admit any of the bad things that had happened to her.

Some people outside the court who came later and did not hear the previous events, but only heard Xu Yingdi's crying, immediately began to blame Ye Fanxing and her husband. Of course, some of them who had heard what happened before felt that there was something fishy going on.

"People like this should be punished for being disobedient and unfilial!"

"No way, he gave money for filial piety but asked for it back. How can such a shameless person be a scholar?"

"Look at that woman and her son. They are all fat and plump. I'm afraid there is something else going on here."

……

After listening for a long time, County Magistrate Wang finally understood why the young man wanted to publicly try the case. This Ye Xu was really making a fuss.

"Bang!" County Magistrate Wang slammed the gavel.

Then he instructed his lawyer to read out in public the files of Ye Laosan and Xu Dabao, the filing document of Ye Fanxing's request to be expelled from the clan and sever ties with relatives, and the lawsuit filed by Song Haoming.

Coupled with the confessions of Liu Liangwei and others, the whole audience was shocked.

"Ye Xushi, Ye Wencai, do you two have anything else to say?"

Seeing that Xu was about to cry and deny her behavior again, Ye Fanxing knelt down and kowtowed three times to Magistrate Wang. He raised his head with red eyes and took the initiative to cry to Xu Yingdi.

"I know you are not my biological mother, and I also know that my father sold my biological mother in order to marry you, but I don't hate you!"

"I have worked like a slave for the Ye family for so many years, and I have called you mother for so many years. How could you be so cruel to sell me out?"

"Wow... As expected, there will be no good ending for recognizing a thief as your mother. I... I..."

As Ye Fanxing spoke, she threw herself on Song Haoming's wheelchair, her shoulders trembling as she cried so pitifully.

If Song Haoming hadn't felt the little hand scratching his palm restlessly, he would probably have believed it!
