After Mr. Cen's words fell, Chen Guihong's whole body went limp, his complexion turned pale, and his body shook.

Mu Chunsheng quickly reached out to support her.

He didn't know that Chen Guihong's reaction was a guilty conscience, but he thought it was because Mu Lei was also innocently dragged into the water because of the momentary excessive anger.

Pointing at Mrs. Cen, Mu Chunsheng said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, what does this matter have to do with Lei'er, you wronged him for no reason, I want to sue you!"

Master Cen frowned.

The magistrate patted the gavel hard, "Mu Chunsheng, don't make loud noises in the courtroom!"

"My lord, I want to sue him for slandering my son!" Mu Chunsheng didn't stop, and continued to accuse loudly.

With a sullen face, the magistrate patted the gavel again, "Mu Chunsheng, if you continue to make noise, I will hit you with ten slaps and punish you for disturbing the court."

When he heard that he was going to be punished and punished, Mu Chunsheng showed timidity and reluctantly closed his mouth.

Seeing that Mu Chunsheng finally calmed down, the magistrate looked away, and then cupped his hands at Mr. Cen, "I have been wronged by implicating you."

"Nothing." Mr. Cen said, "Your Excellency, you can continue to settle the case."

The magistrate nodded and asked, "Why do you say that these letters are all from Mu Lei?"

Mr. Cen explained: "Mu Lei's brushwork is thick and thick, and the part of the vertical hook is always slightly bent inward, forming a small semicircle, which is very special. Although he tried his best to avoid it in these two letters, the habit is hard to change. A few words can still be read."

Returning the letter in his hand to the magistrate, Mr. Cen said, "My lord can send someone to the academy to fetch Mu Lei's homework, and compare the homework with the handwriting on the letter, and it will be clear."

Hearing this, the magistrate signaled two yamen servants to fetch it, and then brought Mu Lei to the yamen.



At this time, Mu Lei didn't know that the forged letter had been revealed, and he was talking and laughing with his classmates in the academy.

When two yamen servants came to the door, he didn't know that they were looking for him, but he was curious about who committed the crime, so he watched with others.

It wasn't until the yamen servant announced his name in front of everyone, and asked the teacher who taught him to take away his homework, that he was surprised.

On the way to the yamen, Mu Lei tried to find out from the two yamen servants the reason why the magistrate told him to go to the yamen.

He asked: "Both servants, I don't know why the magistrate asked you to send me to the yamen?"

The two yamen servants glanced at him, and said perfunctorily, "My lord will tell you that there is something to do in the past. Why do you ask so many questions?"

Seeing that the yamen servants avoided answering, Mu Lei tried a few more times, but he couldn't pry their mouths open at all, so he had to give up.

Unable to find out any news, Mu Lei's heart fluttered, his thoughts were always chaotic, and he kept overturning his conjectures all the way.

——He really couldn't figure out what he had done to deserve to be invited to the Yamen.

It wasn't until he walked outside the yamen and saw that most of the people surrounded by the inner and outer circles were people from the village, and he vaguely heard them mention Yun Niang, Cen Le and others, that he suddenly remembered that not long ago, he pressed the Yunniang and Cen Le's handwriting helped to forge two letters.

At this time, some of the villagers found the yamen servant and Mu Lei, and they spread the word one by one, so everyone stepped aside one after another, making a way.

The yamen servant took Mu Lei to the court, and handed over the homework he got to the magistrate.

After going to the court, Mu Lei saw Mrs. Cen sitting on the chair, and saw his parents kneeling on the ground, Mu Chen, Cen Le, Yun Niang and others, their expressions changed slightly, and they had a very bad premonition—— Could it be that the handwriting on the letter was recognized?

impossible.

No one will recognize that it was written by him. He has already changed all his writing habits.

Thinking of this, Mu Lei couldn't help feeling a little more confident, and gradually calmed down, but he still couldn't help scolding Chen Guihong and Zhu Dazhuang for being stupid—how could they let this matter go to court.

Seeing that Mu Lei was still standing there, the master sternly said, "Mu Lei, don't kneel down when you see the magistrate!"

Mu Lei quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down, "Please forgive me, my lord."

He hasn't been admitted as a scholar yet, and he has no fame. When he sees the magistrate, he has to kneel down.

Seeing that Mu Lei was summoned, Chen Guihong was very worried and felt guilty. She stared at Mu Lei closely and whispered, "Lei'er."

"Mother, don't talk." Mu Lei shook his head at her.

The magistrate glanced at Mu Lei, without hesitation, he picked up the homework on the case and asked softly, "Is this yours?"

"It belongs to a student." Mu Lei lowered his eyes, and replied respectfully, with a very cooperative attitude.

With a faint "hmm", the magistrate lowered his head, opened the letter and homework, and compared the handwriting.

It didn't take long for him to find a few similarities with what Mr. Cen said just now.

He handed the homework and the letter to the master book and the teacher, indicating that they should also identify it.

After reading it, the master and the master nodded to the magistrate.

With the answer in mind, the magistrate looked at Mu Lei again, and asked again: "Do you know these two letters? Are you writing them?"

He asked the yamen servant to show the letter to Mu Lei.

Mu Lei naturally would not admit it, "My lord, this letter has never been seen by the students, let alone written by the students."

Hearing this, both Yun Niang and Cen Le frowned.

Mu Chen was about to help Cen Le interpret the sign language, but Gu Fangyou shook his head at them first, signaling them to be calm.

Master Cen looked at Mu Lei with deep disappointment in his eyes.

The magistrate narrowed his eyes and said, "I will ask you again, is this letter written by you?"

Mu Lei was very sure in his heart that no one would recognize him, so his expression remained the same, very frankly, "No."

As soon as the magistrate changed his friendliness, he suddenly patted the gavel, and his tone turned cold, "Mu Lei, are you blind when you are an official?"

He threw the homework in front of Mu Lei forcefully, and said sharply: "Before you came, Mr. Cen had already argued carefully, and confirmed that the letter was from you, and just now, as Mr. Cen mentioned, in your homework, I found You still want to quibble, even if you don’t know the same thing as the letter?”

Cold sweat broke out in Mu Lei's palms, but he still tried to maintain his composure: "My lord, students dare not lie. This letter really has nothing to do with students. Students have been familiar with sage books since they were young, so how dare they write such blatant words? I'm afraid the teacher accidentally admitted his mistake."

Mu Chunsheng helped and said, "Your Excellency, my Lei'er will never do such a thing. It must be that bastard who is blind and can't tell it by himself, so he fell on my son indiscriminately!"

This sentence made Mr. Cen so angry that his beard was raised. If he was not in the courtroom and under the eyes of everyone, he would have cursed.

The magistrate was equally annoyed, didn't this sentence clearly scold him?

The master has been observing from the sidelines. Up to now, he has basically grasped everyone's personality thoroughly. Seeing that the current case is not progressing at all, and it is at a stalemate here, he leans into the prefect's ear and whispers a few words to him.

The magistrate pondered for a moment, and in the next moment, he patted the gavel again, "Since the evidence is convincing, you still want to quibble and refuse to admit it, it seems that you will not shed tears when you see the coffin, come here, put on the torture tools!"

He didn't really want to torture Mu Lei to extract a confession, but he was planning to use tricks to provoke Mu Lei and make him confess.

Soon, the instruments of torture came up.

I don't know how many years this instrument of torture has been used, and it is covered with blood, which looks very terrifying.

Two court servants held down Mu Lei, one left and one right, and another two servants came up and roughly put his hands and feet into the clamps.

Chen Guihong never thought it would become like this, and she was even more reluctant to bear Mu Chen's torture. Her eyes were shattered, and she rushed forward to push the waiter away, but she couldn't move, but she was grabbed again and pressed to the ground.

She burst into tears and begged for mercy, "My lord, you can't do this, my son still has to take the exam, so I must not give up."

"Tell her to shut up." The magistrate felt a headache from hearing this, he waved his hand, and then the yamen servant who pressed Chen Guihong immediately covered her mouth.

Mu Chunsheng wanted to stop him, but he was also pushed down, unable to resist.

Zhu Dazhuang was kneeling behind, seeing this, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, as if he came out of the water.

Seeing his hands and feet being clamped, Mu Lei finally lost his composure, his face turned blue, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

The magistrate picked up a red-headed lottery, and asked in a cold voice: "Mu Lei, I ask you, do you admit it?"

How can Mu Lei be so stubborn, he was raised up petitely, never did hard work, and couldn't stand the slightest pain, now he doesn't insist, and nodded repeatedly, "My lord, please forgive me, the student is telling the truth."

The magistrate put the red-headed lottery back, "Let's talk."

Mu Lei confessed: "These two letters were indeed written by the students, but they were not voluntary, but were forced. My lord, this is clear."

"Who is persecuting you?" The magistrate changed his posture and asked in doubt.

Mu Lei turned his head and pointed at Zhu Dazhuang, "It's him."

Withdrawing his hand, he continued, "It was Zhu Dazhuang who came up with this poisonous plan because Cen Le was humiliated by Mu Chen that day. He didn't dare to harm Mu Chen, so he wanted to kill Cen Le. This matter has nothing to do with the students. The students just Forced by him, I had to write."

After Zhu Dazhuang heard it, he exploded immediately, "Damn, obviously everything was planned by your mother, and you are not innocent at all!"

Zhu Dazhuang was so frightened by the torture device that he no longer dared to lie. Besides, if he confessed to this matter, he would be imprisoned for two or three months at most, but if he was caught by the torture device, he would probably lose his limbs.

He is not stupid!

At this time, the yamen guard who blocked Chen Guihong's mouth had already let go of her hand and no longer imprisoned her. Chen Guihong immediately retorted: "Nonsense, it's obvious that you threatened our mother and son, so we had to help, but now you actually beat her up... "

"You fart!"

Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong started scolding each other, and they started fighting among themselves.

Poor Mu Chunsheng had never seen such a pungent and vulgar Chen Guihong before, and he was so dumbfounded at this moment that he completely forgot to ask for help.

With one belief, Yun Niang endured the pain and persisted until now. Seeing the truth at this time, she finally relaxed and passed out completely.

Gu Fangyou showed a flustered face, and he stepped forward to pick up Yunniang regardless of etiquette, and wanted to take her to the hospital.

The magistrate saw it, but he didn't stop him, but signaled the yamen servant to let him go.

Cen Le and Mu Chen still need to stay.

Cen Le was also very worried about Mu Chen, "Go with Dr. Gu to see the doctor."

Mu Chen is physically strong, and these three boards can still withstand, but he suffered a little flesh injury, which was not serious, and he couldn't rest assured that he would stay alone in the courtroom, so he shook his head and grabbed Cen Le again. "I'm fine, don't worry."

Cen Le's ears were slightly reddened by Mu Chen's holding his hand, but he didn't pull out his hand after all.

The two leaned close, holding hands.

On the other side, Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong were still arguing, and they uttered obscenities, which made people feel uncomfortable.

The magistrate's face was ugly, he patted the gavel three times in a row, and said angrily: "Give me peace!"

Chen Guihong and Zhu Dazhuang calmed down now, but looking at each other's eyes, they both wanted to strangle each other to death.

Zhu Dazhuang was so angry at Chen Guihong's upside-down words that his head hurt, and now he couldn't care about anything else, and he reported the whole story to the prefect in detail, and finally, he confessed to another person come out.

That person was the mean-looking old lady who said that Yunniang and Cen Le met at the head of the village. Her surname was Xu, and the villagers called her Widow Xu.

Widow Xu was brought to court.

The magistrate showed a dignified face, "Mr. Xu, are you convicted?"

"The woman is convicted."

Widow Xu saw it from the beginning to the end, knowing that it was useless to defend herself, she didn't dare to hide it at all, knelt on the ground, and admitted everything.

With Widow Xu's testimony, the whole case has come to light. Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong were the masterminds of each other and sentenced to three months in prison. Widow Xu and Mu Lei helped the evildoers, and they were regarded as accomplices.

Widow Xu only talked about it, so she only needed to be beaten five times, and Mu Lei was sentenced to one month in prison for forging letters.

At the same time, Master Cen also expelled Mu Lei from the academy.

When the verdict came, Chen Guihong felt dizzy. She knelt down in front of Mu Chen and begged bitterly, "Chen'er, please plead with Cen Le and Yun Niang for auntie, I don't want to go to jail, since your cousin once rescued you For the sake of your life, please say a few words for me."

Hearing this, Cen Le turned his head and looked at Mu Chen quietly.

Mu Chen lowered his head and glanced at Chen Guihong, who looked like a crazy woman, and held Cen Le's hand even tighter, "If Gu Fangyou and I didn't come back, both Cen Le and Yun Niang would be dead, Auntie, you owe this to me." Yunniang and Cen Le should be punished, I will not plead for you."

Seeing Mu Chen's decisive attitude, Chen Guihong yelled angrily: "You bastard, in vain Yuan'er gave up his life to save you, and you became disabled. This is how you treat your benefactor. I knew you were such a white-eyed wolf. Back then you knelt Make an apology, and I should beat you to death!"

"Auntie, the person who saved me was my cousin. I have never forgotten this kindness, but in the past ten years, I have not owed you any more."

The magistrate was impatient to listen to these routines, and ordered the yamen servant, "Take him down."

After hearing this, the yamen servant nodded respectfully, and the two of them detained Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Guihong, and Mu Lei.

Chen Guihong continued to yell and curse, and each sound became worse, but soon, her voice disappeared completely.

So far, this farce is finally over.

The author has something to say: Alright, this is the end of the role of these three people, and Mu Jiangyuan will come out later, which can be regarded as the end of this dungeon.

Then, open a new copy of making a fortune and falling in love.
