The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 248 Apologize on behalf of the mother
Sure enough, Fang Zhizhou only cared about what she wanted to do, and didn't care about the case at all.

So after asking what ore was needed, Fang Zhizhou asked Chen Yuan to back down, saying that he would keep an eye out for her.

Chen Yuan didn't leave Zhizhou Mansion immediately, and let the yamen servant who led the way lead the way to the prison.

With the yamen servants around Zhizhou leading the way, Chen Yuan entered the prison very smoothly without spending any money.

and so……

It's not that Bai just chatted with Fang Zhizhou for a long time. The people below probably thought that Fang Zhizhou valued her more.

After the recess, Huo Shuliang was taken back to the prison by the yamen servants.

Although he was not released, he was not as panicked as before.

Because he has seen the hope of getting out of prison.

Not to mention that Chen Yu made it impossible for him to die, and even saved him from being tortured to extract a confession, he kept his hand holding the pen.

Huo Shuliang was afraid of rubbing his fingers.

As soon as she goes out, she will definitely find out the real culprit.

It's just that I don't know if he can be released before the autumn of August.

If you miss this year, you have to wait three years.

Unless the imperial court opens Enke.

But there are so many enkes to open, unless the new emperor ascends the throne, but His Majesty is still in his prime, just thinking about it is a sin.

Another three years of state school, my mother will have to work hard for three more years...

Huo Shuliang comforted himself.

In the cases that Chen Yuzuo participated in, the real culprit could be caught quickly.

Perhaps, I should be more optimistic.

"Mr. Huo."

Huo Shuliang felt that he was hallucinating, and actually heard Chen Yuan's voice in the male.

Although they were not familiar with each other, this voice saved him from fire and water in court. How could he remember her voice wrongly?

Turn your head to look.

The heroic girl walked to his cell with a faint smile.

He stood up in a hurry, patted the straw stuck to his body, and pulled the crumpled gown.

"Chen Yuzuo? Are you coming... come...to see me?" Huo Shuliang blushed after speaking, how could he have such extravagant expectations.

Chen Yuzuo is a busy man, and he may have come to the prison to see someone for other cases, but he just happened to see him come to say hello.

"Yes." Chen Yuan admitted generously, she was here to ask him something, so there's nothing wrong with admitting it.

Huo Shuliang's eyes lit up.

I saw her look around to make sure there was no one on the left or right.

Only then whispered, "Your mother came to me for you, and went to the county government to beat the Dengwen drum. Guanzhi County is a person who cherishes talents, so she asked me to come and see your situation."

The girl's frankness made Huo Shuliang hang his head in embarrassment.

He couldn't understand the hidden meaning in her words, "I... my mother has caused trouble for you and the magistrate, so I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

Chen Yuan accepted the apology, "I came here to ask you if you had any problems with Zhao Bin?"

Huo Shuliang was surprised by this topic, "No, the two of us are classmates in the same dormitory. We encourage each other, take school exams, and correct essays. We have a very good relationship. We also made an appointment to go to the capital to take the exam next year after Qiu Wei."

"Have you made an appointment to go to Beijing together for the exam next year?"

Chen Yuan didn't understand their strength, "You all know that you will be able to pass?"

"That...that...that's what we encourage each other." It seemed that Chen Yuzuo misunderstood that he was talking big, and Huo Shuliang tightly clenched his hands.

Seeing Chen Yuan's clear nod, Huo Shuliang's heart sank.

Afraid that the other party would underestimate him, he added excitedly, "If..., if we perform normally, we should be able to pass the exam... right."

It is difficult to test for talents, but there are not only two or three talents in each county.

After all, taking the imperial examination in ancient times was a lifelong matter. For an old scholar like Fan Jin, over the years, the people who refer to each time Qiuwei are very spectacular.

Among the many scholars, being selected to study in the state itself represents his excellence.

Other scholars can only find a way to review by themselves, or pay a lot of money to find a teacher to teach.

But the exam doesn't look at the usual grades, and scholars who didn't go to the state's colleges and universities can still win the exam.

It's just that Chen Yuan didn't expect that Huo Shuliang, with such a shy temper, could say such confident words.

Then he is really powerful.

"Then you and Zhao Bin are in the state school, how did you rank in the past assessments?"

"Among the 30 students in the state school, the two of us are often in the top five."

"Then, how is Xie Jiyong's grades?"

"All three of us are in the top five, but not necessarily every time."

"Is anyone number one all year round?"

"He Lingzhang."

It turned out to be the scholar who enthusiastically helped Zhao Bin, "From this point of view, it's not for the first kill."

Huo Shuliang was stunned, "Chen Yuzuo, are you suspecting Brother Zhao's murder? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Chen Yuan recounted what happened after he was taken down by the yamen servant.

"This doesn't explain anything. Brother Zhao has a hard time falling asleep, but after falling asleep, he can't be shaken. Maybe someone really sneaked into the house and stole the knife, but he just didn't notice it."

Unexpectedly, he believed in Zhao Bin's character so much.

"Have Zhao Bin and Xie Jiyong had any disputes? Or conflicts?"

"never seen it."

Judging by his expression, it doesn't look like he is covering Zhao Bin.

"Did you and Zhao Bin know each other before going to school? Why did you live in the same house?"

"For state credits, because the two of us don't have that much money to live in separate houses, so we share one."

What an unpretentious answer.

Chen Yuan felt that she was really not suitable for the job of questioning, and she might be able to see something if she asked the criminal.

This Huo Shuliang didn't know anything, he was usually a nerd, holding books all day long, and didn't know much about his roommates.

There was really nothing to be learned from him, so Chen Yuan bid farewell to Huo Shuliang and decided to wait for the state government to investigate.

The results of their investigation will be more comprehensive, and she will just have to watch the evidence from the sidelines then.

Putting aside the things she was not good at, Chen Yuan decided to go and see Xie Jiyong's body.

However, Chen Yuan was the first to find Liao Xingshu at the inn that he had made an appointment with in advance.

This time, the county magistrate begged Liao Xingshu to bring her to the state. Mr. Guan said that Liao Xingshu must watch her during the autopsy to avoid future troubles.

Liao Xingshu didn't blame her for speaking in class on her own.

Chen Yuan explained what Master Zhizhou asked her to ask, and also explained what she said to Huo Shuliang when she went to the prison.

Report everything to your boss so that no one will take care of you if you have trouble in the future.

When the two arrived at Yizhuang, they found that the three brothers of the Xie family were worshiping Xie Jiyong.

Chen Yuan really didn't expect that the three elder brothers would be so caring about this fourth younger brother who had been home for only two years.

Obviously there is a big age difference between them.

Neither grew up together.

The three brothers of the Xie family saw Chen Yuan approaching, and stood in front of the black coffin defensively.

Xie Shuche excitedly pointed at Chen Yuan and cursed, "It was you, if it wasn't for you, Huo Shuliang would be convicted today!"

After the third brother finished scolding, Xie Zhongyan took another step forward, "Chen Yuzuo, my brother died because of you. What are you doing here? You don't want to burn incense for him, do you? Go, our Xie family will not accept your favor." delicious."

There was also Xie Boqing, whose eyes were as big as a bull's-eye, who didn't swear, but he stretched out his arms to firmly block the coffin.

"..."

Although afraid of being beaten, Chen Yuan still had to tell the truth, "Actually, I'm here for the autopsy."

Xie Boqing was so angry that he held his chest, "You..., you, get out."

Xie Shuche almost grabbed the tribute and threw it at Chen Yuan. After thinking about it, it was a tribute for the fourth brother, and put it down gently.

He casually pulled out the hairpin from the hair crown, and pointed at Chen Yuan with the hairpin as a sword, "You woman, the method of combining blood that has been passed down for thousands of years, how can you easily overthrow it by doing a verification? Could it be that this 1000-year-old Come on, you're the only one who's smart?"
