The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1050 rhetorical question

Sheng Yuan rubbed his forehead. Considering the other party's situation, he ignored the other party's impoliteness and suppressed Xiaoyao's scolding.

"Chu Zhi, I heard that you have been refusing to eat for the past two days?!"

"Have you found out what happened in the second year of Yanping?!" Chu Zhi was immersed in his own world, his eyes fixed on Shengyuan. When he was excited, he shook the iron railing with both hands.

"..."

Sheng Yuan endured it, borrowed some patience, and continued to say harmoniously: "The information is limited, and many things need to be investigated step by step. You can just eat and drink, and take advantage of your free time to reminisce. Maybe you can think of more useful clues." ”

Having said that, Sheng Yuan did not place his hopes on Chu Zhi. According to the interrogation records of the guards, it was true that these people wanted to leave the island and join an armed force at sea. However, they knew very little about it. The Yang Wennong they mentioned was also heard from a certain gangster on the island. The only useful clues it can provide are the general location of the island and the most superficial staffing.

Therefore, after Sheng Yuan read the report, she asked the guard commander sent by the emperor to completely take over this group of people. After that, whether they wanted to interrogate individually or jointly investigate with the internal security office here, she would not interfere.

In other words, if Chu Zhi hadn't refused to eat, Sheng Yuan would not have gone to see her.

"It's not easy to investigate? Does that mean that she...my sister can only complain and be wronged?!" Chu Zhi choked and murmured. After a moment, he suddenly looked at Shengyuan.

At this time, her bloodshot eyes seemed to be brewing with lightning flying flowers, and her expression was ferocious and angry. It seemed that what was standing in front of her was not Sheng Yuan, but the decree that expelled her sister from the imperial court in the second year of Yanping. , state official.

"Are you protecting them?! Aren't you the governor from Kyoto? How could you not be able to find out?! Yes! Yes! Officials protect each other, officials protect each other! How can you help me wait for the common people? You must help your colleagues !” Chu Zhi beat the iron gate railing excitedly and shouted angrily, crying and jumping, “You guys deserve to be stabbed by the rebels!”

"That's enough!" Before Sheng Yuan could get angry, Xiaoyao couldn't help it anymore. He saw a bucket of water by the wall, picked it up and poured it over, "Repay the rebels! They hide their heads and tails and don't dare to see others!"

Xiaoyao put one hand on his hips and pointed at Chu Zhi, who was stunned by the water, and scolded: "My governor has turned over so many files and read so many books for these old things like you these past few days. He has been lighting lamps and boiling oil for half a night. Who would have thought that you would be scolded by such a white-eyed wolf! You don't know what to do or what to do!"

"Hmph!" Chu Zhi received a bucket of cold water, and now he had regained some sense, but there was still a sense of injustice rolling in his chest, "That's so nice to say! My sister's future has been ruined by you stupid people. She You can't rest in peace at the end, but where can you go to explain it? Now, your governor is just sitting at his desk reading papers, why bother! Besides, they are all officials, who knows if they are the same!"

"You!" Xiaoyao saw such a person for the first time. It was okay to be ungrateful, but he repeatedly framed her young lady. She couldn't stand it anymore and she was about to explode with anger.

"Okay!" Sheng Yuan pressed Xiaoyao's shoulder to tell her not to continue. She took two steps forward and stopped half an inch away from the distance that the other party's arms could reach. "Chu Zhi, your sister died in depression. Member?"

Her eyes did not dodge, and the moment she met Chu Zhi's eyes, she bound his eyes so that they had to keep looking at each other.

Her voice was neither high nor low, and it calmly touched the most untouchable string in her inner world.

"Yes! My sister died because of your inaction!"

Chu Zhi tried hard not to let the tears welling up in his eyes fall, and stared at Sheng Yuan fiercely: "If it weren't like this, with her intelligence and wearing such an official uniform, I'm afraid she would be more majestic and decent than you! She She will definitely not join in with you! She will definitely be an excellent official!" "If she is so good, with her character, I don't know how to feel if she knows that her own sister has violated the law and is associated with lawless people. ”

"Don't mention my sister!" Chu Zhi's tone suddenly became sharp, and the rising anger rushed over the dam of reason like a torrent that had lost its restraints, and once again grasped the iron railing and shook, "It's you ! It’s you! It’s you who ruined my sister!”

"Miss, please be careful..."

Xiaoyao watched in stunned silence as she shook the iron railing, fearing that the next moment Chu Zhi would rush out holding the iron railing and immediately want to pull Sheng Yuan away.

But before she could finish speaking, Sheng Yuan gently blocked her movement.

"Chu Zhi, your sister's experience is indeed regrettable and regrettable, but is she bound to have this final ending?"

"What did you say?!" Chu Zhi heard the action and looked at Sheng Yuan angrily, "Could it be that my sister brought it upon herself? Huh?! You are not investigating the culprit, but instead blaming all the mistakes on my sister and the victims. people!"

Sheng Yuan shook her head: "You may not have received official education. I don't know about many situations and I don't blame you. But your sister should know the teachings. In fact, those who have no power to punish scholars are the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. ”

"..." Although Chu Zhi didn't know what Sheng Yuan was trying to sell, she had an intuition that the other party might say something that would make her tremble.

"I don't know if she is really not involved in the sale of test questions, but she must know it well. If she is indeed aggrieved, she should join forces with the students who are also aggrieved to file a lawsuit..."

"Ha! What you said is so clear. How to appeal? They may not be able to get out of this Zezhou city!" Chu Zhi looked at Sheng Yuan with cold eyes, "You are a nobleman from Jinxiudui. You don't know the sufferings in the world, why not What you say about eating meat is so reasonable! How did you know..."

"If you can't get out of Zezhou City, can you still make trouble in Zezhou City?" Sheng Yuan raised her voice, interrupting the other party's words just as the other party interrupted her own speech.

"Making trouble? Why?" Chu Zhi looked at her sarcastically.

"We carried the statue of Confucius to the Confucius Temple to cry with all the classmates who had not confessed their guilt; we went to the Neiwei Mansion to complain about injustice; we jointly attacked the gate of the city and went to Beijing to file a complaint."

Every time Sheng Yuan said something, Chu Zhi hadn't spoken yet, but Xiaoyao on the side was trembling with fear and wished he could cover his young lady's mouth immediately.

After Sheng Yuan finished speaking, Chu Zhi was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "...you, the governor sent by Kyoto, are you instigating students to disrupt Kyoto?"

"I just recounted the student struggles that have occurred in history. Why are there any words of instigation?"
