Although Miao Qianshui was once the teacher of the prince and the founder of the famous Xuezhu Academy in the south of the Yangtze River, he has been famous for more than 30 years and is well-known all over the world.Even, he is still the famous Mr. Shutang Zhangshu.

However, it does not mean that everyone will feel that the saint will not make mistakes.

Another way of saying is quietly spread in the market.

"This is too strange. Women are too fickle. Just a moment ago, they sincerely put on sackcloth and filial piety for the old man, and wanted to send the senior brother to death row. Suddenly, the murderer became a benefactor and the saint became a benefactor. A hypocrite who misbehaves with weak girls."

"Yeah, I just came back from selling tea, and halfway through I heard something confused. This matter has changed faster than the weather in West Lake."

"I heard that the little girl really thought that the teacher was a sage and the senior brother was a villain. As a result, the prince of Nanchu believed in the scholar's character and wanted to investigate the case. After an investigation, he found that it was wrong. You said that a young man An old man over half a hundred, going to a girl's room in the middle of the night, no matter how you think about it, something is wrong..."

"What did the government say?"

"It is said that the footprints are similar and can be forged. There is a drug in the tea soup, but there is no evidence that it must have been placed by the old man. The stolen goods in the room cannot be proved to be placed by the old man himself. The person is dead, and there is no proof. The most important thing Yes, the scholar in the prison insisted that it was he who had an evil intention to prescribe the medicine, and the old gentleman became a brave man instead."

"You say that people are about to die, but their words are good? Or is it really... a crime?"

"But if you want to cover up and take the blame, why do you want to kill someone?"

"Hey, there are so many twists and turns in the affairs of scholars. How else can you say, full of benevolence, righteousness and shame, full of male thieves and prostitutes? Every time righteousness kills more dogs, the most heartless is a scholar."

"You are righteous, that little girl has been thrown into prison, why don't you go to save her?"

"Hey, speaking of it, isn't that Southern Chu lord called No. 1 in the world? He is the most righteous and benevolent, and he and the little girl are also investigating the case together. Why don't you see him make a move?"

"That's a relative of the emperor. If I were him, I would go to Beijing to sue the imperial court. I will investigate this matter thoroughly myself, and the truth will come to light."

……

Mu Junhou is in the prison in Lin'an City.

His face was livid and cold, and he looked coldly at Weisheng Haoran in front of him: "I'll ask you one last time, are you telling the truth?"

Wei Sheng looked at him calmly: "I killed the man, he never touched Su Xin, this is the truth."

Mu Junhou has never been so angry, like a hot and red sword dying in the cold water, he squeezed out every word from his teeth: "She is in prison to save you, a weak and innocent girl, how can you Do you have the heart to just look at it like this?"

Weisheng smiled grandly, and said indifferently: "Then what should I do?"

His voice was extremely low, colder and angrier than Mu Junhou: "I told you not to meddle in other people's business, why didn't you listen? I've already killed him, no one touched her, why is she going to die, why don't you Stop it? I don't need to be rescued, aren't you a good person, how come it's the turn of someone you know, and you forget what it means to kill and pay for life?"

Mu Junhou looked at him like looking at a stranger. The anger in his eyes dissipated, but he was colder than ever, from heart to blood.

He looked at it quietly for a while, then nodded: "Okay, if you don't say anything, I will rush to Luoyang tonight, and I will go to the imperial court to play Chengbing. I am not for you, I am for Miss Suxin, and I will wait until all this is put under the sun." , I want to see what the truth is."

Weisheng looked at him coldly, then suddenly laughed low and long, and laughed out loud, mockingly and sadly.

After laughing, he looked at Mu Junhou flatly, with tears of laughter still in the corner of his eyes: "Ah, then you go and sue. Then, if others want you to find out, you can only find out What happened. Why don't you understand, not only I am in the bureau, but now you are also. The more you investigate, the faster everything will be destroyed. Do you think that person in Luoyang doesn't know anything? Do you think, Why did the academy allow me to pretend to be a teacher ten years ago? Why did the imperial court accept the independent academy? Why am I the only one working for the imperial court?"

Mu Junhou's throat was dry: "Is it you, or Miao Qianshui, who was caught and threatened?"

He always thought that this was a mutual concession made by Weisheng Haoran and his teacher with the court for mutual benefit and reciprocity.

Wei Sheng Haoran's eyes were dark and indifferent, and he sat cross-legged on the straw mat: "It seems that you are not too stupid."

Mu Junhou blinked slowly, and said with difficulty: "You killed Miao Qianshui and this has something to do with it?"

"It doesn't matter." Weisheng Haoran looked calm and tired, "I killed the teacher because I was sorry for the teacher. I just hope that everything can end with my death. However, I only discovered now that perhaps from the very beginning, I have been in It's someone else's game. It's too late."

"What do you mean?"

Weisheng Haoran opened his eyes and squinted at him: "Do you think that if I want to do something, I will leave such an obvious flaw waiting for someone to find it? Even a brain like yours that you don't use once in 20 years can do it in a day." Can it be found out smoothly?"

Mu Junhou opened his eyes wide: "..."

Weisheng Haoran slowly bent the fox's eyes and mocked You Leng: "Ah, yes, you were deceived just as you thought. But don't be depressed, because this time, I was also deceived. Reappear one by one, whether it is footprints or clothes stained with tea soup, the other party has been watching my every move from the beginning. I now suspect that even my killing is part of their calculation. In the school Under the nose, without being found to do all this, who do you think has this ability?"

Mu Junhou gritted his teeth and left without saying a word.

Who else could have such unpredictable abilities?

Who is the one who reminded him to go to the academy to find Su Xin, and to recover the case step by step, who didn't believe in anything and didn't read anything?

After the rain, the sky is sunny, the sun is shining in the middle of the day, making the air humid and hot, and the fragrant and refreshing sweet-scented osmanthus blooms more and more wantonly.

The West Lake courtyard is empty.

"Where is the master here?"

The boy guarding the gate was dressed in bright yellow clothes, carved in powder and jade, so cute.But with a swollen face and an unhappy look.

"The master said, my good-looking brother thinks my flowers are too lively and fragrant, so they moved to another place. But isn't the fragrance good?" He stomped his feet and ran away angrily.

Mu Junhou didn't have time to catch up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Guest, go and have a look around Lingyin Temple."

An elderly mother-in-law protruded from inside, and said kindly: "The chrysanthemums in the Longjing tea garden are also blooming, and the owner goes there to brew wine every year."

Mu Junhou thanked him, walked a few steps away, and suddenly remembered that he had never seen such two servants in this other courtyard before.

He looked back, the door was still locked.There are only a few tall osmanthus trees in the yard, with dark yellow and light yellow alternately sticking out their flower branches.

……

"Is it better here?"

He Jiuqing was walking on the mountain road all the way of Lingyin Temple, not far away were pilgrims coming and going, on his white gauze blindfolded face, there was a little elegant and warm smile, although he was in the crowd, he didn't have the slightest The world is full of fireworks.

Gu Jinxiao is still obsessed with the 72-boned purple bamboo umbrella, which is not good for being used by Shenlong Possession in the crowd.

"Ah."

His brows were calm and slightly drawn, without squinting.Even though the eyes are like cold pools and the tails of the eyes are dark, they are as handsome and noble as a heavenly man.

Standing side by side with the ethereal He Jiuqing is like a jade man enshrined in a temple walking with the Taoist who is in charge of offering sacrifices and prayers.

In this secluded place of ancient trees, the two figures, one blue and one white, make passers-by all turn their heads sideways, as if the purple air is coming from the east and encountering a fairy trail by chance.

The smile on He Jiuqing's lips changed slightly: "Someone has been to the West Lake Courtyard, and it looks like they will be here soon."

Gu Jinxiao didn't ask him how he knew, but with a calm expression, he said softly: "He is your half-disciple, the heavy rain is coming, where do you go, you really don't intend to give me some advice?"

"Everyone has his own way, and he has his own choice. He is not only a man in the world, but also a nobleman in the temple. The current turmoil is not his calamity. If he can't get through this time, the next calamity will be another one." How do we go?" He Jiuqing shook his head, "I'm not in the game, so I should just watch the chess and not say a word."

Gu Jinxiao looked into the distance, and said in a very soft voice: "I have always been dangerous when I fall, so if this is the case, I will not be polite."

He Jiuqing had a deep smile on his lips, and sighed, "No matter how dangerous the method is, how can it win people's hearts?"

……

Mu Junhou didn't see Gu Mowen in the end, and when he was about to arrive at Lingyin Temple, someone passed him by, and there was a faint lotus fragrance in his trance, and there was an extra note in his hand.

Letter: Xu Shi three quarters, Bauhinia Tea House.

Looking up again, I saw a gray robe flashing by in the crowd.

Bauhinia Tea House is very famous, not only the tea maids in the tea house are the best, but most importantly, the storytellers in the tea house always have the freshest and most novel stories to tell.Moreover, they are the major issues that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

When Mu Junhou went, the lecture had already started in the teahouse.

The three teachings and nine streams gather together, and those with status are in the private room upstairs, separated by a screen, without interfering with each other.Those who like to be lively will sit in this lobby.

On the stage, the storyteller hadn't come on stage yet, only the singing lady was playing a pipa and singing a little tune in Wu Nong's soft language.

The tea guests in the audience discussed what happened in Lin'an City during the day in low tones, expressing their own opinions.

In the quiet environment, one can even hear the high-spirited chatter of scholars and students at the banquet in the restaurant in the distance.

Crack, gavel slap.

The first storyteller came to the stage and told about Xuezhu Academy.The witty remarks, vivid, pungent and ironic, explain this twists and turns clearly.

Mu Junhou listened, from resentment at the beginning to heaviness at the end.He discovered that these people did not take the meaning out of context, everything was true, but everything was also absurd.

The surrounding audience did not have the vulgar abuse at the gate of the yamen during the day. Some people sympathized with Suxin, while others questioned that there was insufficient evidence to forge.Some people tried to analyze the unreasonable logic, but some people refuted it and put forward different opinions.

Everyone discussed peacefully, even if they had different opinions, they did not do evil or look bad, but instead they all spoke with discretion and gentleness.

Suddenly I heard another mournful ditty, singing an indescribably sad melancholy, it was a woman with an aging face.

After singing, the lady got up and owed a salute.

Her voice is still mellow, but it is no longer young and tender: "If all the viewers don't dislike it, here is also a story about an old article. The people involved have passed away, so let's just listen to it, and let's talk about it."

This story happened in Suzhou not far away——

Twenty years ago, there was a family surnamed Wu in Suzhou. His parents died young and he had only a pair of brothers and sisters.The younger sister is naturally beautiful, and the older brother is quick-witted.In that year, the elder brother of the Wu family was successful in his studies and won the county examination. After finishing the government examination, he only waited for the results to come out before completing the college examination and matching his younger sister with a good family.

The elder brother of the Wu family is quick-witted and eager to learn. Fortunately, he had a great person as his teacher, so he took the time to study hard.The younger sister of the Wu family was worried about her elder brother, and thought about the simplicity of the local folk customs and the pure academy, so she took the money exchanged for embroidery and sent it to her elder brother to make money.

This time, something went wrong.When the big man was drunk, he saw the Wu family's younger sister alone, and suddenly thought evil...

Afterwards, the elder brother of the Wu family couldn't bear the humiliation of his sister, so he refused what the big man said, and hired a concubine with a lot of money as compensation, and sued her to the local government.

However, that great man has a high name and a high position, and he has always acted in the way of a sage and sage. Who would dare to believe that he would do such a thing?

The case was at a stalemate, and instead the younger sister of the Wu family was imprisoned. Not long after, the elder brother of the Wu family was beaten to death in the street by students who were dissatisfied with the riot.Half a year later, the government government sentenced the sister of the Wu family to Jiji for the crime of false accusation, and the turmoil was settled.

Ten years later, someone read the file and brought up the case again. However, after looking at the file, they found that the sufferer was a trick, so they naturally didn't take it seriously.

Those who heard the story were indignant.

"Forcing the good for prostitution, turning good and evil, what kind of saints and sages are you? Could it be that the local people in Suzhou are all blind?"

"How does this story end? Can good and evil be rewarded?"

"Yeah, what about the next ten years?"

The woman said calmly: "Sister Wu's family has passed through many people, and she is not a good person. She will grow old soon, and will no longer be able to find a way to bring down the big man. She died with hatred."

"Oh," someone sighed, "Suzhou is such a beautiful place, but such absurd things have happened in the past 20 years, who is the big shot?"

"Yeah, after 20 years, no one has discovered the true face of that big man?"

"If you are an evil person, how can you only do one evil thing?"

The woman said dumbly: "20 years later, that big man became more and more famous. One day, he tried to repeat the same trick, but luckily someone around him discovered him and killed him by mistake. Although the big man died, but At the beginning, everything happened again. The girl was imprisoned like the younger sister of the Wu family. It was heard that she would be confiscated into a civil servant under the name of false accusation. It's just that the world has changed, and the world has already decided that she is a Advocate tricks."

There was silence all around.

The woman raised her head. Although she was no longer young, she had a pair of eyes that were as bright as pearls: "Do all the judges think this story is moving?"

Silence, nothing but silence.

Papa papa, there was a burst of applause from upstairs.

A cold and calm voice said unhurriedly: "Naturally, it is extremely pleasant to listen to. It is rare to have a play that has been sung for 20 years and can be so fresh. This king is fortunate to hear it. It is really lucky. There is only one thing, It makes me unhappy. Suzhou is under the rule of my king. I don’t know that there are such interesting things. But this story is changed to Lin’an City, and the big man is Miao Qianshui. Everything seems to be right. .”

One person leaned down from the railing, holding a leaf in his hand, peacock brocade, misty silk gauze, Yaoshan jade crown, there is nothing more noble than Lingran.

A pair of eyebrows and eyes were exposed behind the fan, the eyes were twinkling and lazy, the brow bones were arrogant and indifferent, and he blinked with a half-smile: "What did Mu Junhou say?"
