Magistrate Liu shouted loudly.
Yang Zimei immediately ordered the boy to get the letter.
It does say "Shao Huai personally opened it", and there are traces of the seal, which shows that it has never been opened.
After Yang Zimei handed it to Ji Shaohuai, he stepped aside and waited for the answer.
After Ji Shaohuai took the letter, he glanced at it quickly and handed it to Magistrate Liu.
Magistrate Liu took the envelope, read it briefly, and immediately shouted: "Send someone to Fuxue and bring this He Huairen here..."
Voice Before he finished, he turned around and said: "That's all, you all will go to the government school with me."
Prefect Liu named several people involved, and then said: "In addition, please pass on my order. , Daming, you are fast on your feet and good at horsemanship. You will go back to the government office, notify the Zhuang Ban, and lead the police to the government school immediately to guard it."
"Everyone, let's go to the government school together. I hope you will be careful in your words and actions."
As soon as Magistrate Liu finished speaking, everyone responded: "Please follow the instructions."
He left immediately and asked someone to pack up the carriage. .
Everyone followed him and got into the carriage.
Wang Sheng and Ji Shaohuai are currently sitting in the same carriage, discussing Hang Yudong's letters.
This is a letter rather than a pleading.
"The complainant, Hang Yudong, is a native of Changle Prefecture. He became a scholar in the fourth year of Tianqi. I hereby write a letter to sue the Changle Prefecture to learn from He Tuan and He Huairen, who is lawless and harms students. Under the guise of his position, he used his position to eradicate dissidents. He used the guise of selling examination secrets to seek money and murder. "
Ji Shaohuai described the letters he saw written by Hang Yudong one by one. At the end, he said: "I can't bear to see my classmates. Many disciples suffered from it, so they gathered a joint testimony and several witnesses."
He was confused and said with a complicated expression: "If this is true, then what happened before should have nothing to do with him. . If it’s just to sue, why don’t you go to me directly, or to Yang Zimei?” Ji Shaohuai said to himself.
Suddenly, for a moment, he looked up at Wang Sheng: "Now it seems that he can persuade Yang Zimei, but he may not be able to persuade others. In that case, why did he waste his life innocently? "
Wang Sheng also raised his head and looked back at Ji Shaohuai.
"Of course he has his reasons for doing this, the reason why he has to die."
Ji Shaohuai's face turned pale and he said: "Sacrifice your life for justice?"
"I'm afraid that's the case."
Wang Sheng nodded, looked directly at Ji Shaohuai and said, "Because he doesn't believe any descendants of aristocratic families, or anyone, but he can't go to the government to report the case on his own. , this is the only last resort."
There was a hint of coldness in Ji Shaohuai's eyes, then disappeared.
"So, rarelyNow the Poetry Club's contemplation meeting is coming, this is to ensure that the Yang Mansion cannot suppress the incident and report it to the official as soon as possible. "
Wang Sheng responded: "In order to prevent the incident from spreading, the Yang Mansion will definitely ask the people who participated in the banquet to stay where they are and keep secret, and will also lure them with benefits after they go out. In this way, the news of his death would not be spread as soon as possible, and the mastermind behind the scenes would not be able to learn the news and respond immediately. ”
“Then why did he invite you?” Why are you handing me the note? "
Ji Shaohuai failed to understand this logic.
Wang Sheng took the question and said softly: "Only by asking me can I testify for you. You and his death have nothing to do with each other. It doesn't matter. "
Ji Shaohuai said in astonishment: "For me? ”
“Yes, it’s because of you, Shaohuai. "
Wang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his knees with his fingers, again and again.
"Since all the classmates in Class B know that you and I are inseparable, I I don’t often attend poetry gatherings. As long as you invite me, there is a high probability that you will come here. "
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"And me. "
Wang Sheng pointed at himself and continued: "Not good at poetry. If you saw it right at the banquet, the delicate little thing at the source, apart from transporting food, has a greater role in selecting people to compose poems. "
"Why are there two seats in this poetry meeting? Why is there only one seat for one person? Isn't it just for the students who can't write poetry to get together with the students who can write poetry? "
"But why did he hand the note to me? ”
“Because this is different from the booklet case. The more aristocratic families involved, the more beneficial it would be for him, and the less likely he would die quietly. He chose you and me just because we were the ones who assisted in the illegal sale of books. "
Ji Shaohuai suddenly realized and said: "He did this. In order to clear the suspicion, everyone present can only follow his plan to explore the reason for his death. All he did was to ensure that the petition could be delivered to Magistrate Liu. "
The more Ji Shaohuai talked, the more he understood, and the more he thought about it.
"Moreover, from the time he died to the present, the incident happened within an hour. We will start from the investigation of the cause of his death. , turned to the investigation of the case of He Xundao's corruption and bending the law, precisely because all the people involved, except Yang Zimei, had been cleared of suspicion. "
"In order to escape, Yang Zimei could only take out the letters left with him..."
"There is no doubt that at this point, Hang Yudong was successful. "
Wang Sheng affirmed.
"If he has a righteous heart, why did he kick me out of the school before? "
Ji Shaohuai raised questions, which made him not understand. It was also the most complicated point about Hang Yudong's death..
"I have investigated him privately before."
Ji Shaohuai frowned and said to Wang Sheng: "There is a mother in his family who is still old but blind. , has a young sister. "
"So he came from a poor family, studied hard at a young age, and got a good reputation, and finally entered a government school at the age of thirty. However, he wanted to kick me out. "His mother and sister were criticized by the neighbors because of the incident." There was no private school willing to hire him as a teacher, and the family had no money, so he could only make money by doing chores. "
"I was poor in my early years and was unable to marry and have children. There was a marriage proposal before, but when something happened, the woman never mentioned it."
"He didn't have to do this."
"He didn't have to. It doesn’t have to be like this.”
Wang Sheng repeated Ji Shaohuai’s words.
"What if someone insists on him doing this?"
"Or, what if he did not know people clearly and trusted others, which led to all this? That person insisted on chasing Brother Ji away Are you going to study abroad? ”
That’s why he doesn’t trust anyone and doesn’t know who to trust or who not to trust.
When he came to Ji Shaohuai for help, he just wanted to hand over a note.
It’s natural for Ji Shaohuai to respond, but it’s okay if he doesn’t.
He thought that he could not escape death, so he might as well take the opportunity to make the matter public.
There is nothing left to control him.
All I want is for a pleading to be submitted to the magistrate's case, so that from now on, students will no longer be deceived.
The biting winter has long gone, but at this moment, Wang Sheng feels wrapped in layers of thick ice, making it so cold that he can't breathe.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the cold reality or the hallucination in his mind. He only thought about one question in his mind.
In what world, a petition can only be submitted after death?
