The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 736: Public Trial and Perfect Counterattack (1)

 In the spacious Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were only the voices of witnesses confessing Mo Qingze’s fraud.

"...The three students are Mo Qingze's friends, and naturally they don't want to see him go astray. After knowing that someone gave him test questions and answers, the students took turns to persuade him, but not only did he not listen to the advice, he also said that they would share the blessings. The test questions and answers were to be shared with the students, and the three of them were asked to memorize them overnight in order to prepare for the exam in the next seven days! The students couldn't help but feel that telling them would be betraying their friends, so they had to cover it up and prepare It’s rotten in my heart!”

Having said this, the man paused and secretly looked at the faces of Emperor Hui'an and the presiding judges, but was disappointed to find that they all looked expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether they believed what he said. .

But when things got to this point, there was no room for retreat. The man licked his dry lips and continued: "Later, Qiu Wei's results came out, and Mo Qingze was indeed selected as a high school student. The students thought that he had finally come true. After years of long-cherished wish, I didn’t even want to expose him! But later, the students heard that someone had failed the exam in the autumn, and they couldn’t bear the blow. They jumped into the moat on the day the results were released, and even the body was not recovered! Thinking of that The family members of the man who jumped into the river were not able to wait for him to return. They were so sad that some people used heretical methods to win the respect of the world. They felt unhappy for a while and went to the Ministry of Rites to tell the story about Mo Qingze's fraud..."

As if he was ashamed of his behavior, after the man finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't look at anyone.

The remaining two people nodded repeatedly, echoed what their companion said, and scrambled to add in the details he had left behind. Even the fact that Mo Qingze was wearing moon-white clothes that day and the red sandalwood hairpin used to tie his hair were clearly stated. .

With such detailed testimony and no loopholes found, more than half of the people present had already concluded that Mo Qingze had committed fraud.

After listening to the three testimonies, the presiding officer of the Ministry of Punishment did not make any remarks. He then asked Mo Qingze: "Do you have any evidence to prove that the testimonies given by the three of them are false and fabricated?"

Mo Qingze was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head.

That day he settled in the Han family's annex. Seeing that it was still early, he planned to go to the book club for a walk. Unexpectedly, he met these three people at the book club.

 The four of them each selected a few books and went to the restaurant. During this period, when he was at his convenience, someone actually blocked his way and said that he had questions and answers for the Qiu Wei exam and could sell them to him cheaply.

He never thought about using other methods to obtain fame, nor did he believe that those were so-called test questions and answers, so he sternly refused. Unexpectedly, the man actually threatened and lured him.

While he was pulling, he happened to be seen by three people who came out to look for him. In the end, the person forced the so-called test questions and answers to him and ran away. He didn't even ask for the three hundred taels of silver that had been offered before, but he When he ran out of the restaurant, he shouted loudly that what he sold was very cheap.

Except for sharing the test questions and answers with the three people and the fabricated testimonies that followed, what the three people said were all facts. There were people in the restaurant who could testify and prove everything that happened that day. Even if he retorts now that the test questions and answers were deliberately framed by someone, I'm afraid no one will believe him and think he is quibbling, so it would be better not to say anything.

Seeing her father shaking his head, Mo Yan suddenly became nervous. The originally quiet hall became noisy again, and some doubtful people instantly turned against Mo Qingze.

Hearing this, the chief prosecutor of the Ministry of Punishment saw a slight change in his eyes, and asked expressionlessly: "So, you admitted to the fraud in the examination room?"

"No!" Mo Qingze shook his head decisively. He looked at the three testifiers, raised his hands and said, "Sir, can the student ask these three questions?"
