Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Because the county magistrate Wang said, "Trials open in downtown", the already dense crowd of onlookers increased a lot.

When the move to the busy city was ready, almost all the people in Qingshan County came out to watch the excitement, except for the people Lin Ze called out from the village.

Some people even climbed onto the high walls of other people's yards just to look at them.

County magistrate Wang calmed down after a brief shock, and sat upright on the chair with a serious expression.

Don't look into the deep-seated darkness, County Magistrate Wang really looks like an upright official for the people, and it's no wonder that after only three years as a county magistrate, he has been promoted.

Lin Ze quietly looked at the county magistrate above a few times, and he had a bottom line in his heart.

The reason why he dared to be so fat and make such a big fuss today, apart from the laws of the Great Ji Dynasty, there is another more important reason is that the county magistrate Wang is about to be transferred.

For this kind of official who is about to be transferred, maintaining the final reputation is far more important than accepting bribes. There is only one position above, but there are tens of thousands of eyes staring at it. The county magistrate Wang must be fair even if he is not fair today. .

Considering the distance from Nanyang Town to the county seat, Lin Ze also wrote down the list of all involved parties, suspects, witnesses, etc.

In this way, all people are called for review, which saves time and avoids long nights and dreams.

In order to catch his opponent by surprise, Lin Ze also wrote a case analysis using "case profile", which is very commonly used in modern criminal investigation.

Lin Ze is not professional in this regard, but after all, he often acts in criminal investigation dramas in TV dramas, so he can still learn from his appearance.

In addition, the original body's knowledge enriched the pen, and the county magistrate Wang was amazed after reading a well-founded case analysis. He almost felt that there was no need for a retrial, and it would be no problem to let the prisoner plead guilty directly.

Even the interrogated people who were kneeling below were stunned. If they didn't know how to write, they would have thought it was their own confession!

Of course, the person whose name was called would not be so stupid as to plead guilty after being so frightened.

"You are wronged, Mr. County, the villain is wronged..."

The ones who spoke were the servants of Wei Hongyan's mansion, the servants and maids who were supposed to be guarding the backyard at the beginning.

Then Lin Jianwen denied it. There was no way, he was the 'prime suspect' listed by Lin Ze. If he didn't complain immediately, he would be convicted immediately!

Anyway, the brother has already torn his face, Lin Ze will not show mercy this time.

Seeing Lin Jianwen's calm look in the village, he probably guessed that the other party's tail was swept clean, and it might not be easy to kill Lin Jianwen with Wei Yunying's affairs, so he shifted his target and brought out the dirty things in the village.

How Chen Shuju's mother and son have poured dirty water on the original body all these years, now he will pour it back.

Even if Wei Yunying's matter and Lin Jianwen's affairs are fine, and the news about the "Lin family property dispute" gets out, from now on, Lin Jianwen's reputation accumulated over the years will be completely gone, and whether he can take the imperial examination is still open to question.

Listening to the adjudication, everyone talked a lot, and couldn't believe that this happened in a poor family.

Lin Jianwen gritted his teeth with hatred. He thought about Lin Ze's plan over and over again, but never thought that Lin Ze would completely disregard Lin Sangui's face. He wanted to completely destroy him for revenge.

But in the end, those things were all his mother's hands. No matter what others say, it's fine if he doesn't admit it. As for his reputation, he can't care about it anymore.

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, I am connected by blood with my brother so I dare not be jealous of his talent. My mother did those foolish things because of the heart of her parents. I hope you will be magnanimous. My mother has been punished in the village ancestral hall...Brother, you and your mother After all, you have cultivated affection for many years, so please forgive her."

A brain with ink in its belly turns fast, and Lin Jianwen's sophistry skills are not bad.

In one sentence, all the responsibility was put on Chen Shuju, showing that he was "clean", and he used the word "filial piety" to suppress him. The subtext pointed out that Lin Ze would repay even his "mother".

Hiding needles in the cotton is a skill that Lin Jianwen is used to.

Lin Ze knew that he would be like this, clapped his hands to accompany him to act, made a sad look with red eyes, and fought tooth for tooth,

"Second brother is serious. Although Mrs. Chen has severed ties with me, I called her mother after all. Those things have passed, and I have long since seen it. I am not suing Mrs. Chen today. The pleadings are only about It's just an analysis of the matter, second brother don't mention those sad things anymore."

"The trial in the busy market has delayed everyone's business. You should first talk about the situation that day. Why did my second brother help me, who was drunk, into the backyard of the Wei Mansion? If my second brother unintentionally asks my brother to apologize to you, but if... In short, my brother just wants to Ask for innocence, it is hard to settle the grievances I have suffered for many years."

When everyone heard it, yes, they were talking about the Wei family's affairs. Why did they go off topic? Everyone is still waiting to finish the fun and go back to work.

Immediately, the crowd looked at Lin Jianwen with a bit of a bad look, thinking that this scholar must have not read the book well, and there is something wrong with his comprehension ability.

The person who is suing is just doing analysis. He thinks it is normal to speak out when there is a festival. What is Lin Jianwen so anxious about? Hurry up and tell the truth about the business!

"Xiu Lin Ze is right. Mr. Lin Jianwen, why did you help someone go to the backyard of the Wei Mansion that day? Don't you know that women in the backyard can't just break into the boudoir?"

County magistrate Wang followed suit, because both of them were surnamed Lin and both were scholars, so he could only call them differently in this way.

His current way of thinking has been led into the pit by Lin Ze's "case profile analysis". He has preconceptions and thinks that the whole case process is the same as Lin Ze's analysis. This Lin Jianwen is a major suspect.

Every time he fights with Lin Ze, it's like punching cotton with his fist. Lin Jianwen's face is completely rotten. In front of everyone, he can only clenched his fist and explain obediently.

"My lord, I didn't mean to help my elder brother go to the backyard of the Wei Mansion back then. It was also the first time I went to the Wei Mansion. I saw that the courtyard was not guarded, so I thought it was the guest room yard, so I helped my brother in... "

He didn't lie.

Although he was jealous of Lin Ze's good study and being loved by his father since he was a child, but he was only 15 years old at that time, no matter how scheming he was, he definitely didn't have the courage to come up with a careful plan to harm Lin Ze.

At that time, he also happened to see that there was no one guarding the backyard of the Wei Mansion, so he came up with the idea of ​​getting Lin Ze drunk and throwing him into the backyard. As long as Lin Ze got a bad reputation and couldn't study, he would be the only resource in the family. Man has it all.

This is also the reason why Lin Jianwen is not afraid of Lin Ze suing, because there is no evidence to prove that he did it on purpose, who left the backyard of Wei Mansion unguarded.

"Is there anyone to prove your statement?"

"Yes, Qiao Xiucai from Xishan Village, when we drank at the same table, he supported me together, but as soon as we walked to the arched door in the backyard of Wei Mansion, Qiao Xiucai was called away..."

Lin Jianwen is very confident, and he doesn't have to be afraid if he is well-founded.

For this reason, knowing that Lin Ze was going to sue the Wei Mansion to clear his grievances, he specially asked Qiao Xiucai to follow him today.

Lin Ze was suspicious, but unexpectedly, did he really wrong Lin Jianwen?Was Lin Jianwen really careless when it came to the Wei Mansion?

There is evidence and evidence, but he doesn't believe it...

When County Magistrate Wang heard the words, he immediately asked Qiao Xiucai to come out for questioning. Qiao Xiucai testified that Lin Jianwen did not lie.

Wei Hongyan, who had been listening all this time, was relieved by the result, looked at Lin Ze and snorted coldly,

"Lin Ze, it was your own problem to break into my daughter's room back then, what else do you have to say, you brought up the old matter again, and you made such a big noise, you are trying to force my daughter to death to revenge me and drive you out of the private school what..."

These words are completely asking about Lin Ze's guilt. It seems that his daughter is indeed the one who is innocent in the whole matter.

Although Lin Ze's suffering over the years is a bit more than the crime, in the final analysis, he was drunk, and the daughter of the Wei family was implicated for no reason.

Now that Lin Ze's troubles are known to the whole Qingshan County, it's a bit 'excessive'.

"Mr. Wei, don't worry for the time being. Lin Jianwen is just one of the suspects and reasoning. Lin Ze naturally doesn't want to make this kind of thing a big deal, but that day in the Guo Mansion, Mrs. Wei's attitude was agitated and she was determined to seek justice. The matter started because of me. How could I Let Mrs. Wei show her face and sue..."

Lin Ze smiled slightly, and with a few words, he turned the tide and immediately regained the favor of the masses.

He was ashamed to take such a scapegoat for forcing a woman to death. Wei Yunying was the one who wanted to report this matter to the officials. Why didn't the Guo family consider "massiveness" when they made such a fuss?

Knowing that he ended up worse, I felt relieved and wanted to calm things down, hehe, there is no good thing in the world.

Blocking Master Wei's words back, Lin Ze continued,

"Since Lin Jianwen 'accidentally' took me to the backyard of the Wei Mansion, the biggest question now is that Wei Mansion is obviously an important day for banqueting guests, why is there no guard in the backyard of the Wei Mansion?"

"Even if there is a shortage of manpower in the front yard and you call for help temporarily, according to the general situation, you will not call the servant girls in the backyard, let alone call everyone away. It is really unreasonable to leave the lady alone..."

This is the biggest doubt in the whole matter, and it is also the breakthrough point.

Everyone also reacted to find the point, yes, that day was the day when the Wei Mansion was entertaining guests. On this day, many male guests would definitely come to the house. It may be so negligent.

If you don't think about it, if you think about it, the whole thing is indeed full of weirdness and loopholes.

Based on such an analysis, there is indeed a problem. There are no servants guarding the backyard of the Wei Mansion, so it cannot be explained by being called to work and leave.

"One more thing, Miss Wei was also drunk that day, and there was no servant girl by her side. All these coincidences are extremely suspicious."

"Snapped!"

County magistrate Wang patted the gavel, looked at the relevant servants and maids in the Wei residence, and interrogated them harshly.

"You guys tell me the truth. On the day of the banquet, why didn't you guys stay guard in the backyard?"
