Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 95 Relief
Mr. Ye took out the roster from the cabinet. There were not many students in the academy. There were more than a hundred students in the three houses. He flipped through it and picked out two scholars named Wang. He transcribed it with a pen as follows: Wang Taiyi, 33 years old, class A, She. Wang Heng, a 17-year-old native of Luoshe, Wuxi, lives in a house named Tianzi B. Wang Heng, [-] years old, is from Class A in the outer dormitory and lives in a house named D.

Pu San Gongzi glanced at the name and said with a smile: "Wang Heng and Wang Qilang, I am familiar with you. I will take you there without any trouble."

Lao Liu clutched the note and thought quickly in his mind: According to Mrs. Liu's son A Xing, Shi Xiaomei's acquaintance was a pretty boy in his late teens or 20s, so of the two scholars, Wang Heng, who was born outside the home, was probably more suspected. Some.

Hearing that Young Master Pu was going to lead them there, it was exactly what he wanted, so he thanked him profusely.

Seeing Lao Liu surrendering to him and several people heading out, Mr. Ye was full of suspicion and asked, "Master, I wonder why you are looking for these two students?"

Lao Liu turned around and said, "I'm just asking to see if there are any clues that the Yamen needs to handle the case."

Mr. Ye was doubtful.

During the lunch break, most of the students were not in the classroom after eating, so Mr. Urasan took the servants directly to the dining room.

The door of the herringbone D room was not closed properly, and a crack was exposed. Young Master Pu pushed the door open and walked in.

Under the south window, Wang Heng was crouching on the desk keeping accounts.

There was something going on in the elementary school class, and Xiaocai was asked to run errands by Li Xiucai.

The winter solstice will be here in a few days. The winter solstice coincides with the Chinese New Year, and the year has almost passed. Children of the poor have already become their own family. They must list their expenses for the past six months in detail to make themselves aware of it.Everything was done to save face, so Wang Heng had to take some time off to secretly memorize it.

Wang Heng was in a trance when he suddenly saw Pu Sangong, a classmate from Waishe, coming in, followed by two strangers. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Pu Sangong had intended to make friends with him when he first started school. After learning that his father was just a lowly official and had no intention of joining the noble family, he lost interest in him and has not had any contact with him since.

Lao Liu quickly scanned the apartment. The outer compartment was neat and tidy. Pastries, snacks, toiletries, study tools, clothes, robes, and hats were all arranged in an orderly manner.

Lao Liu's eyesight was very good, and he saw that the jar placed on the wooden cabinet was very similar to the jar in Shiyuan. He felt ecstatic and rushed forward to lift the lid with his hands. It was unknown what the jar contained before, but now there was Xiao Xiaoqiao inside. A kite made of white cotton paper.It takes no effort to get it. This is the paper kite taught by Bai Yuan.

After finding the evidence, Lao Liu was inevitably eager to solve the case. He shouted at Wang Heng: "Master Wang, this jar of yours used to contain pear candy, right?"

Wang Heng raised his head, looked at Young Master Pu, and said in surprise: "Brother Pu, what's going on?"

Mr. Pu San smiled unexpectedly and said: "The county government is on official duty to handle the case. Wang Qilang, Dean Pu asked us to cooperate with the investigation."

Wang Heng stood up and walked slowly to Lao Liu and replied: "Master Cha, you are right, this used to be a sugar jar."

Lao Liu stared closely at Wang Heng's eyes, trying to read something from his expression, and said: "The people who gave you the candy jar are the Shi family father and daughter from Ma Yi Ke Lane. They are the remnants of the Bai Yuan Sect. They came up Where did it go?"

Wang Heng was stunned. It was true that Xiaocai went to Ma Yi Ke Lane to buy pear paste candy to treat his cough. He didn't know the Shi family father and daughter that the official was talking about. They sounded like they were the people who opened the shop. Thinking of Xiaocai's weird behavior at that time, he didn't realize it. Thoughts rise and fall.

Lao Liu observed that Wang Heng's face was clouded and his brows were furrowed. He became more and more convinced that there was something wrong in his heart and stared at him with a compelling look.Wang Hengheng calmed himself down and said calmly and slowly: "The candy jar was bought at the Ligao Sugar Shop in Ma Yi Ke Lane. It is to cure a cough. I don't know what Bai Yuan taught the demon."

"There is a paper kite in the sugar jar. What do you want to say?" Lao Liu said coldly.

Wang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "I don't remember the paper kite anymore. Looking back, it might be a gadget given by the store."

"One push, three, six, five, Master Wang, you are really capable of quibbling." Lao Liu reprimanded angrily.

When he said this, Wang Heng was just a young man, but he felt a little uneasy and said: "The store is open for business. I have gone to visit the business. It is not considered acquaintance. I really don't know their whereabouts."

"Master Wang, if you refuse to explain, I have to ask you to go to the county government office." Lao Liu said impatiently.

Wang Heng knew the affairs of the county government in the Ming Dynasty very clearly. The official could not find out the details of the case, but he pursued them closely at the peak, and most of them were tortured to extract confessions.

Thinking of this, I was horrified. This is not the old palace of Wang Yaqiange in Taicang Prefecture. Others regard me as a prime minister and assistant son, and no one is looking down on me. At present, I have not yet strived for fame. How can this be a good thing? ?

"Master, the young man in the yamen who is investigating the case will naturally have to cooperate fully. I will tell you everything I know. But I don't know the situation of Bai Yuan's teaching demon. How to explain it." Wang Heng argued, hoping to impress him.

When Lao Liu heard this, he laughed angrily: "Master Wang, you are a gentle scholar. If you don't follow us obediently, do you want me to chain you and drag you away?" He ordered the disciples on the side to show off the guy and scare him. Wang Heng.

Wang Heng thought in his mind and couldn't think of a way to get out of the predicament. He could only use the "drag" formula and shouted: "How can it be done? How can it be done?"

There was a lot of chaos in the room, and when I heard the noise, a person rushed in from the door. It was Huang Yuntai, a classmate of Cuju Club.

Huang Yuntai glanced at Master and Disciple Lao Liu and said proudly: "In the elegant place of the academy, where are the Zaoli who come here to make noise?"

Lao Liu was choked by him and couldn't speak, but he saw Wang Heng grabbing the visitor's hand and telling him the reason.

Huang Yuntai was furious after hearing this, and shouted to Lao Liu: "You are a killer, you dare to come to our Ziyang Academy to arrest people without any evidence. You know who our mountain chief is. If you say it to scare people, you are just trying to scare people." It was the same year as the first assistant of the dynasty, Mr. Shen."

Huang Yuntai bowed to the north and said solemnly: "Lao Shen is so angry that even the county magistrate can't bear the punishment. The first rafters will die first. You are old enough to do business, so you won't understand this truth."

Lao Liu's heart skipped a beat. It was very possible that he was secretly watching Lou Zhixian's actions. Then he felt relieved. He had already discussed the idea with the magistrate before coming here, and said: "The witnesses and material evidence are all there. How can we deny it? It's Shen Shen." The old prime minister must also be able to reason."

"A good person to testify the physical evidence, I will argue with you." After Huang Yuntai said this, he saw many students gathered in front of the door. Mr. Ye, the assistant teacher of the calligraphy class and in charge of general affairs, also came over at this time, so he shouted loudly He said: "Mr. Ye, please go and ask for Chief Yuan immediately. Chief Yuan will definitely take care of it."

Huang Yuntai briefly explained the situation again. Mr. Ye had handed over the student information to the county government official before, and he was quite worried, so he came here to have a look at the situation. He was old and frail and was slow in walking. He was already making trouble when he got here. opened.

Previously, the official only said that Wang Sheng would be found to cooperate with the investigation and ask for clues. He did not expect to take the student to the county government office. Mr. Ye was also shocked. He hurriedly picked up his robe and ran to report to Chief Yuan Shan.
