The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 255 Tiger Skin ([-])

Su Chengzhi, who has always been gentle, suddenly turned cold and stern, and turned to face Su Fengxiang's master and servant who pointed at the tiger skin and said coldly: "The thirteen young masters and servants are so sure that this tiger skin belongs to your family." Is there evidence for the stolen item just now?"

"Evidence? Hehehe, why don't you first prove that this tiger skin is yours?" Su Fengxiang smiled wickedly, pointing at the tiger skin.

"I don't even look at myself, even a country bumpkin like you deserves such a tiger skin, of course it was stolen from our house!" The servant raised his chin like a dog, and shouted after Su Fengxiang.

Su Chengzhi ignored the boy at all, his usually gentle eyes became extremely sharp, he stared at Su Fengxiang and said: "Since the thirteenth young master is so sure that this tiger skin is stolen from your mansion, then I would like to ask the thirteenth young master, your mansion is stolen." Is there a report to the official? What are the characteristics of the tiger skin stolen by your mansion?"

Su Chengzhi's series of questioning made the officials look suspiciously at Su Fengxiang's master and servant, and some people at the scene echoed: "That's right, since the Thirteenth Young Master is so sure that the tiger skin is stolen from your house, he must be very familiar with the tiger skin animal." Thirteenth Young Master, let me tell you about the characteristics of this tiger skin, so that this hillbilly can understand."

Su Fengxiang originally framed Su Chengzhi, so naturally there has been no theft in his house recently.

Besides, although the Su Mansion is a century-old scholarly family, it sounds expensive, but in fact it is considered clean, but it is really not that expensive. Su Fengxiang has never seen such a quality tiger skin.

If it weren't for the fact that the life in the house is not considered rich, he wouldn't want to be the heir of the second house with his sharp head. Looking at the entire Su family, the old lady Lu who came from the second house with no heirs was the most important. Fuze.

Since Su Fengxiang had said such a firm word, he naturally wouldn't let it go, and besides, he didn't check Su Chengzhi in vain these days.

There were still a lot of Su Chengzhi's information obtained from the mouths of the people in Yanshan Mansion, but he never expected that the information he found by trying his best was all screened by Lu Jinkang.

Therefore, he was sure that even if he framed Su Chengzhi, no one would support Su Chengzhi.

In Su Fengxiang's eyes, Su Chengzhi's repeated questioning became more serious and he wanted to cover it up.

Su Fengxiang only knew that Su Chengzhi came from a remote mountain village in Yanshan Mansion. It is impossible for a person like Su Chengzhi to own a tiger skin, so the origin of this tiger skin is doubtful.

Even if Su Chengzhi could explain clearly the origin of this tiger skin, it would be quite pleasant to disturb Su Chengzhi's mood in the exam. Of course, it would be even more wonderful if Su Chengzhi could lose the opportunity to enter the exam room.

Hmph, let this country bumpkin taste the bitter fruit of fighting with this young master today!

Su Fengxiang kept groaning in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was himself who really suffered the bitter fruit.

Su Chengzhi knew the origin of this tiger skin well.

That day Lu Jinkang almost died in Geshan Village for hunting a tiger. Yesterday when Lu Jinkang sent the tiger skin, the Zuo brothers were present, so the Zuo brothers were the best witnesses.

Of course, the Zuo brothers had already entered the Tribute Court first, so it was naturally impossible to come out to testify for Su Chengzhi.

Candidates cannot turn back after entering the Tribute Academy. The Zuo brothers have already gone to the examination hall with their own dormitory numbers.

But even if the Zuo brothers could testify, Su Chengzhi would not disturb their pre-examination mood at this time.

Su Chengzhi, who had calmed down, already had confidence in his heart.

The origin of this tiger skin couldn't be more legitimate. How could Su Chengzhi allow people with ulterior motives to pour the stolen sewage on his head, and how could Su Fengxiang tarnish Lu Jinkang's heart.

When Lu Jinkang delivered this tiger skin to him yesterday, Jiu'er pointed out several unique features of this tiger skin to him.

He didn't believe that Lu Jinkang would tell Su Fengxiang the characteristics of this tiger skin.

Su Fengxiang is not a person who only takes beatings but does not fight back. Faced with Su Chengzhi's series of questioning, the suspicious eyes of the officials, and the booing of other people, he pointed at Su Chengzhi and said, "The tiger skin is from your test basket." Shouldn’t you prove that this tiger skin is yours when you take it out? Everyone agrees, right!”

Su Fengxiang was very good at motivating people. When he shouted, not only the candidates who took the test nodded, but even the officials who checked the candidates all stared at Su Chengzhi.

Since Su Fengxiang insisted on discrediting himself, how could Su Chengzhi allow him to succeed? He said calmly, "There is no one else here who suspects that the tiger skin belongs to the lower class, but the thirteen young masters and servants believe that the tiger skin belongs to your family." Shouldn't Thirteenth Young Master tell you about the characteristics of your mansion's tiger skin first?"

So everyone's eyes turned to Su Fengxiang again, the scene was at a stalemate, but it was just a test but it couldn't be delayed.

As the chief examiner of the examination, the current Taifu learned of the incident in front of the Gongyuan, and quickly dispatched Su Chengzhi and Su Fengxiang to the office of the examiners in the Gongyuan.

The two people's food boxes, test baskets and the tiger skin that caused trouble were also sent to the office together.

This office room is divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. There is a table and two chairs on the east and west walls of the outside room, and there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

The official who brought them in told them to sit down separately, pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and said, "Please write down the characteristics of the tiger skin."

After that, he put his hands on his chest and said nothing.

Su Chengzhi sat down on the chair silently, picked up a pen and began to write without thinking.

Of course, he is very clear about the characteristics of this tiger skin. Even if Jiuer didn't elaborate on it yesterday, he could still write a few. With Jiuer's suggestion, there are naturally two more characteristics of the tiger skin.

This tiger skin was hunted by Lu Jinkang himself. In order to ensure the integrity of this tiger skin, Lu Jinkang pierced the tiger's eyes with a sword in an extremely critical situation to ensure the integrity of the tiger skin. one claw.

It was precisely because of this that Duke Zhen and his wife were furious and refused to accept Lu Jinkang's tiger skin, just to make him remember that life is the most important thing.

This tiger skin was tanned by Liu Yuzhu, and Liu Yuzhu has his own special way of tanning. Every piece of fur that has been tanned by him has his special mark on a very inconspicuous place.

Jiu'er told Su Chengzhi two characteristics, one is the mark made by Zhen Guogong and his wife, and the other is the mark made by Lu Jinkang himself. Both marks are in very inconspicuous places. hard to find.

It was late and there was no room for further delay, so Su Chengzhi quickly wrote down the characteristics of the tiger skin and handed it over to the officials.

That tiger skin was not from the Su family, Su Fengxiang couldn't write any characteristics about it, but since his tribute courtyard had sworn that the tiger skin belonged to the Su family, he had to write it down.

After scratching his head and scratching his head, Su Fengxiang wrote a few random notes, knowing that he would not be able to pass the test, after thinking for a while, he quietly took off the jade pendant on his body, handed it to the officer along with what he had written, blocked Su Chengzhi's gaze, and winked at the officer for a while .

Seeing that the official did not refuse his bribe, Su Fengxiang felt very proud for a while.

But why didn't the official send away the jade pendant?
