Even if it is interrogated by the county magistrate, it is not above the court after all. You don't need to follow too many rules. In the past, no noise is allowed, and there must be officials to stop the girl's mouth.
But the county magistrate didn't interrupt Shen Hua's childish words, how dare Master Xue dare to do it for him.
Before, he was like a raging lion.
Right now, it’s frost-beaten eggplant. Don't say reprimand, just remember to wipe the sweat on your forehead.
County magistrate Liu came here in a hurry this time, but he did not forget to put on a suit of normal clothes.
It may be difficult for him to be promoted at this age, and he has not made many achievements in this life. Part of it is the inaction of the prefect above. Shackled by the above.
Can't use his hands and feet.
In order to protect his own black hat, he will handle the cases he can handle, and has interests involved with the magistrate. Even if he knows that he is doing evil, the common people can only turn a blind eye.
Although I don't want to be in the same boat, I am ashamed of the sentence: For officials, there are gods above three feet.
Now that a heir from the Yangling Marquis Mansion has come, he also wants to show his head once, but he must not confess.
"Xue Dan, you are from Juren, and you passed the scientific examination all the way. Xue's family is poor. It is good fortune that you are now a teacher in the academy."
"Chengde Academy is no different than other academies. It is here for the enlightenment of young children. Even though it is a girls' academy, you have to be patient and not ambiguous."
"If you take advantage of your position to deliberately be harsh on the Shen family's wife, I think that virtue is not worthy."
He spoke very kindly.
After all, most of the people here are young girls. It's not good to be scared.
But for Master Xue, it crushed all his pride.
Master Xue hurriedly raised his robe and knelt down, not waiting for him to speak.
The county magistrate said: "I haven't finished talking yet."
Master Xue's words were stuck in his throat, and he could only swallow them abruptly.
"You didn't find out the truth and decided that this was done by Miss Shen. It was a mistake."
"The old master is here. Although he no longer teaches, I have seen what he has done these years. His authority is higher than yours but he can't stop you. It can be seen that you don't listen to explanations, stick to your own opinions, and act on your own. Two mistakes."
"All the Enlightenment Academies in the world were established by the Taifu of the dynasty in collaboration with Master Mo, the Imperial Supervisor, when the first emperor was present. After all, they belonged to the public. But you keep dismissing the students. This Chengde Academy is not private, let alone Xue. This is the third wrong."
"Do you recognize it or not?"
Suppressing every single sentence, Master Xue couldn't straighten his back.
Seeing this, the old master knew that there was no room for maneuver. Helplessly shook his head.
After this incident, it would be false to say that there is no doubt about Master Xue.
If it's him, he really doesn't deserve to teach anymore.
The magistrate of the county took a look at Cui Yun.
Cui Yun sat down next to Shen Hua at some point, and took the food box that she was carrying when he sent her over. It was filled with various snacks and tea. The display is very delicate and beautiful.
This was specially prepared by the Shen family's kitchen in case the girl would be hungry.
The young man who pushed the matter to such a situation lightly and slowly put these on the table.
Noticing his gaze, Cui Yun just smiled faintly.
"What? Need my help?"
This is, not satisfied yet.
"Second Young Master, don't worry, I won't let Miss Shen be wronged."
The county magistrate turned to look at Mr. Xue on the ground, and his attitude became tough: "Let's not mention these crimes of yours for the time being, and tell the truth, can this matter have anything to do with you?"
Master Xue naturally refused to admit it to death.
"No."
"How could I harm a little girl who has no experience in the world?"
This sentence, but I don't know when it lost its credibility.
Cui Yun suddenly said: "Although the students are young, they also taboo against men and women. There are guards in the women's courtyard. I have asked, and no outsiders enter."
"The chef is far away from here. There are five people in total, all of whom are preparing lunch. The maids and servants accompanying each mansion are all waiting in the west wing room. Even if they walk around, they each have their own witnesses."
None of these people are possible.
Shen Hua nodded slowly.
"Xu Qingqing is not, then only Zhang Hagi and Master Xue are left."
Hearing this, Zhang Hagi, who had been suspected for a long time, slowly widened his eyes. It turned out that she was not to blame for being guessed.
She held back for a long time, then looked at Master Xue with unbelievable eyes.
To be honest, she still likes the old master more.
Old Master is also very peaceful and peaceful in teaching, but Master Xue is incomparable. Every time he attends class, he catches the few people in the front row to teach.
It seems that these people are all inconspicuous companions.
Originally, she was very happy. After all, at least he won't be called to stand up and answer.
But the more I think about it now, the more something is wrong.
"Master Xue."
Zhang Hagi persuaded him: "You still admit it."
"You can't do something bad and let me get hurt."
Magistrate Liu wanted to stop the yelling, but he was a man who could read his words. The girl from the Shen family was eating snacks, shaking her feet to see that she was working hard.
County magistrate Liu was in a trance for a moment.
He thought, although this girl from the Shen family has a bad reputation and poor health, she has a good life. To be able to get such protection from the second son of Cui.
I also had some thoughts.
Shen Hua and his youngest son are also about the same age.
If she turns around and becomes the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, what worries do she have?
Zhou Zhizhi looked at Zhang Hagi resentfully.
"How can you doubt the Master."
Zhang Hagi was not happy to hear these words, especially what Zhou Zhizhi said.
Before, she defended Zhou Zhizhi in every possible way, which shows that her kindness was taken as a donkey's liver and lungs. Speaking of which, Shen Wei was also wrongly blamed for her.
"Am I the one who doubts the Master now?"
"If I don't doubt him, then it's your turn to doubt me. Although he is a teacher for a day and a father for life, but he is not my real father. Why should I recognize him?"
She also said a rare sentence, and Shen Huazhong listened.
"If you feel sorry for Master Xue, why don't you just say something about you."
In order to prove his innocence, Zhang Hagi also began to speak freely.
Not to mention her, even ordinary people panic when they see their parents and officials.
She doesn't want to go to jail, or get spanked.
So much so that Zhou Zhizhi is not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it now.
"Don't say that you didn't come back, there is an alibi. If you admit it, I will believe it. I usually have such a good memory. Why did the paint fall off just this time?"
"Shen Wei cried you out of anger many times, and you harbor resentment. This is considered a motive, and it's justified."
Zhou Zhizhi was unwilling.
She took a step back and remained silent.
Master Xue's heart is ashamed.
Since the mention of inviting the county master, Master Xue's mood has fluctuated, and Cui Yun can see a trace of panic and guilty conscience from it.
Cui Yun walked to his side and followed him, Master Xue was extremely uneasy.
The boy above his head smiled.
"Why, it's been so long, and I haven't found an excuse yet."
