I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 608 Disappointment
Qi Changlin's lawsuit against Qiu Huaixin was groundless. After all, the "catch the rape in bed" at the beginning or the later "blame grievances with death" by Mrs. Qi had nothing to do with Qiu Huaixin.

Zhifu Jiao patted the gavel and asked in a deep voice, "Who is kneeling under the hall?"

"If you go back to your lord, the grass people are..."

Regardless of whether it was the villagers or a few friends and their entourages at the time, the testimony of each witness proved that Qiu Huaixin was following Shisong on the mountain behind at the time of the incident, and Mrs. Qi committed suicide. In fact, it has nothing to do with Qiu Huaixin.

Even though Qi Changlin was disappointed, he raised his eyes to see the majestic and majestic face of Jiao Zhifu, opened his mouth and knelt on the ground decadently, but he didn't know whether he regretted betting everything on himself to gain a "road to fame".
On the other side, the Qiu Mansion.

Mrs. Wu paced back and forth in the room, frowning, and glanced outside the door from time to time. This morning, the whole person was restless.

"Young Madam." Madam Dong, who came to report the news, hurried into the door, but looked behind her cautiously, and nodded to the two maids, signaling them to continue guarding the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the door, Madam Dong didn't dare to hesitate when she saw Wu's gloomy expression, "The news came back from the government office that Qi Changlin sued the third son without evidence. The pain of losing his wife, coupled with the fact that the third son was generous in not pursuing the case, so Qi Changlin was not convicted of false accusation."

Otherwise, the "adulterant" on the bed in the guest room was not Qiu Huaixin, Mrs. Qi also committed suicide, and Qi Changlin Que carried the coffin and beat drums to express his grievances. This is definitely a false accusation, and the impact is extremely bad. The judge can win Qi Changlin's reputation.

Wu Shi, who had already guessed this kind of result, nodded sullenly, but this beating heart made Wu Shi unable to calm down.

……

"Father's words are wrong. Qi Changlin is the best friend of the second brother. Now that his wife died for no apparent reason, the second brother has no reason to stay at home. He must help and find the murderer. Don't waste your second younger brother's reputation as a gentleman."

Jiao Lianping lazily sat on the armchair with a teacup in his hand, with an undisguised sneer on his face, this matter involved Qiu Huaixin, how could his good second brother "deliver justice"?
"The dead are the big ones, so please be careful!" Jiao Lianyu's face was solemn, and it was rare that Jiao Lianping didn't back down like in the past. Sons and daughters, now that my sister-in-law has passed away, I will go to help anyway, and I hope my father will be considerate."

Jiao Zhifu looked at Jiao Lianyu with a serious face, he was equally relieved and worried. He was gratified for Jiao Lianyu's devotion to his friends, but he was worried that this matter would involve the Qiu family. Everyone behind the scenes would dare to plot against Qiu Huaixin. I am afraid that the other party will also kill.

As for the eldest son with yin and yang, Zhifu Jiao is used to it, and he ignored Jiao Lianping directly, and said to Jiao Lianyu, "In this case, you can ask the housekeeper to bring someone to help, and then find a doctor from the medical hall to go there together, so be careful. Row."

Jiao Lianyu stood up and bowed solemnly to the prefect Jiao, "Thank you, father, for your compassion."

The magistrate Jiao waved his hand to signal that Jiao Lianyu needn't be like this. Lianyu is honest and upright, and he can't act like a villain who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Besides, no matter who is plotting behind Mrs. Qi's affairs, Qi Changlin is innocent after all.

"My lord, something has happened." The servant guarding outside the study walked in quickly, and the servant who stayed outside also entered the study after getting permission, and told the story of Qi Changlin carrying the coffin to the Yamen to beat drums and complain.

……

Different from the dark masses of people crowded together outside the courtroom, Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan listened openly behind the courtroom.

The little official brought the two cups of tea to the table, but he didn't dare to take a second look, and retreated with a terrified expression. This lord is holding the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. The legs are all weak.

Zhan Feiyu walked to the side and took a look into the courtroom through the screen. Qi Changlin and the two children were all dressed in filial piety, and the dark coffin was also placed on the right side of the courtroom. There are three classes of yamen servants standing, and the outside of the court is crowded with people waiting to be promoted.

"Big brother, what is Qi Changlin going to do?" Zhan Feiyu came back after reading it. The defendant Qiu Huaixin hadn't appeared yet, and he couldn't be promoted for a while.

What Zhan Feiyu didn't understand was that Mrs. Qi's death was inappropriate everywhere. Qi Changlin was also a scholar who had obtained a reputation. No matter how stubborn he was, he could see the problem, but he just carried the coffin to sue Qiu Huaixin. Yamen, this is definitely self-destructive future.

Compared with the people with different expressions inside and outside the court, Yin Wuyan, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, was expressionless and indifferent from the beginning to the end. The coldness and murderousness around him made the little official who delivered the tea hold his breath in fright, lest he would provoke others. The death of these killing stars who have been banned from the Dragon Guard is unclear.

Yin Wuyan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was sitting back, the coldness on his face subsided, "Qi Changlin is delusional about leaving his name in history."

His eyes widened a little bit, Zhan Feiyu was still wondering whether Qi Changlin's complaint to the officer had turned his anger on Qiu Huaixin because of the tragic death of his beloved wife, so he was paranoid and wanted to drag Qiu Huaixin to die together, Zhan Feiyu really thought elsewhere.

"Miss, Master Qi is drinking tea." He Nuan walked over with a tea tray.

Having stayed with Zhan Feiyu in the courtyard behind the government office for a few days before, He Nuan was already familiar with the Qianzhong government office, so not only did he re-brew tea at this moment, but also brought four kinds of pastries.

As for the tea that the little official just brought over, He Nuan returned it to the tea tray. Now that Qianzhong Mansion is full of dangers, He Nuan basically won't let Zhan Feiyu eat tea outside the entrance.

Zhan Feiyu is still thinking about what Yin Wuyan said just now. The death of Mrs. Qi is a tragedy. She was also calculated by the Wu family. She was an ordinary woman who had been living in the countryside, and the medicine was changed, and she was sick and weak. It's normal to be induced by caring people to think sideways.

Mrs. Qi only thinks about her own mortality, so she might as well use her humble life to find a good future for her father-in-law and his sons and daughters who were born in a poor family, so that she can rest in peace.

But what about Qi Changlin?His wife's bones are not yet cold, but she is kneeling in the courtroom with a pair of children, but from this point of view, Zhan Feiyu doesn't like Qi Changlin, no matter whether he has other purposes, it is really just to complain about his wife, but he shouldn't be careless two children.

Yin Wuyan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was thinking seriously with a sullen little face. Her well-behaved appearance made people's hearts soften. No matter how fierce the little girl usually behaves, she still has kindness in her bones, and she doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister.

Qi Changlin carried the coffin to the yamen, Yin Wuyan guessed what Qi Changlin was thinking without having to investigate, in the end he was nothing but a hypocrite.

Otherwise, how could he put the heavy burden on a woman, and he called friends and friends in the official school and talked about it, but he never thought that his parents, wives and children would not have enough food and clothing.

"Even if the third son has cleared his bad name, his marriage with the fifth girl of the Gu family is sloppy. Qi Changlin did this because he was afraid that the Qiu family would retaliate afterwards." Zhan Feiyu just didn't think about it before. .

It is destined to offend the Qiu family, even if Qi Changlin and Jiao Lianyu are on good terms, so what?
What he offended was the most important official in Qianzhong Road. Even if Mr. Qiu disdained to attack him as a young scholar, other people who wanted to curry favor with Qiu's family would definitely attack Qi Changlin.

In this way, Qi Changlin was doomed to have no future, and he would stop being a scholar in this life. It was absolutely delusion to want to be an official through the imperial examination. From the moment Mrs. Qi wanted to frame Qiu Huaixin, she cut off Qi Changlin's official career.

It's just that Mrs. Qi has little knowledge. She only wants to plot against the Qiu family and use her own death to force the Qiu family to take care of Qi Changlin and the two children. Changlin can handle it.

Qi Changlin is more knowledgeable, he must have thought of this point, instead of doing nothing in the future and being suppressed without a bright future, it is better to fight to the death, and he can get a reputation of defying power, and maybe he can survive the desperate situation Find a way to survive, not all the hard-boiled censors at Yushitai are like this.
