Chapter 70
A master next to him came forward and told Zhong Youxi all about the matter.

After Zhong Youhui heard this, he immediately turned around and scolded Xiao Tingchen: "You bastard! But you brought someone into the government school last night? Hurry up and turn yourself in!"

Xiao Tingde huddled in the crowd, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes, "Yes, fifth brother, this kind of thing is out of conscience, how can you do it? In my opinion, you'd better turn yourself in earlier, so as not to cause trouble at home. Woe!"

Su Jiu looked at Xiao Tingchen, and saw a young man in a sky blue straight gown standing firmly in the spring sunshine.

His skin is white and fine as glass, a cinnabar mole on his left cheek is bright red, and his curved peach eyes are more affectionate than the distant mountains in spring.

Holding a folding fan in his hand, he ignored Xiao Tingde, just smiled and said, "Deputy dean, the students really don't know about this. Last night Xiaojiu had a high fever, and the students cooked medicine for her all night in the dormitory. You If you don't believe me, you can send someone to look in the bedroom, and you will be able to find the medicine residue."

Zhong Youhui immediately signaled the yamen servant to search the house.

Within two quarters of an hour, two yamen servants came over with medicine bowls and medicine residues.

Xu Zhizhou said coldly: "What is this? It must be the dregs of medicine that you rushed back to the academy after committing the crime to cover up the fact that you committed the crime!"

Xiao Tingchen's brows and eyes were warm, "Is there anyone here who understands medicine?"

Immediately, some students raised their hands and came over.

The student's home is a medicine shop, and after twisting some medicinal residues and observing them carefully, he said seriously: "These medicinal residues are all fresh, they should have been boiled last night. The degree of rottenness shows that the boiling time is very long. It should have been more than three hours."

Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows, "Young Master Xu, did you hear that? I spent the whole night decocting medicine, so I didn't have time to assassinate you."

Xu Teng's complexion was blue and white, he clenched the gauze tightly with his remaining left hand, and did not speak.

Xiao Tingchen turned slowly to Zhong Youhui again, and bowed his hands to him, "The students think that the vice president and the master Zhizhou should be able to restore the students' innocence."

"You bastard! It must be that you colluded with other people, and asked others to help you decoct medicine to give false testimony!" Xu Zhizhou yelled angrily, "Come here, this Zhizhou arrests Xiao Tingchen and puts him in prison. I will carefully interrogate him!"

Two yamen servants with big arms and round waists rushed over immediately.

Su Jiu was very nervous, but he saw countless students rushing over, filled with righteous indignation, pushing and shoving with the yamen servants, not asking them to arrest them.

During the dispute, Xu Zhizhou yelled angrily:
"It's the opposite! Let me arrest you, arrest all the students!"

After he finished speaking, the heavy-backed yamen servants came out with water and fire sticks, and beat the students with thin skin and tender flesh!

All of a sudden, Jinling Academy screamed continuously!
Su Jiu's complexion turned pale. Through the crowd, he saw Zhong Youhui booing and asking for warmth to Xu Teng as if he hadn't seen his student being beaten.

And Xu Zhizhou folded his arms and sneered, "Well done, beat me hard! Let them have a longer memory, and see if they dare to fight against me in the future!"

When the words fell to the ground, an old and majestic voice suddenly sounded:

"Xu Zhizhou is so majestic!"

The students' eyes lit up, and they quickly turned around to make way:
"The dean is here! The dean is here!"

Su Jiu looked over, and saw the person who came from the snowy temples and frost, wearing a simple white plain gown, walking briskly and vigorously, it was the dean of Jinling Academy, Sikong Chen.

Xu Zhizhou still had arrogance in the face of Zhong Youjiao, but in the face of Dean Sikong, he was like a bomb soaked in water, which went out in an instant.

It must be known that Dean Sikong once served as the emperor's teacher when he was young, and he is extremely respected by the current emperor.

Last year, on the Empress Dowager's birthday, Chang'an sent a guard to escort him back to the capital, but he declined.

He cupped his hands towards Dean Sikong, and said in embarrassment: "Why did Dean Sikong come in person..."

"If the old man doesn't come again, I'm afraid that the old man's students will be taken into prison by Xu Zhizhou."

"Where is that, the lower official is just here to catch the murderer. Xiao Tingchen and Xiao Jieyuan from your academy killed my family Teng'er last night, and even cut off his hand! This matter is bad, I hope the dean will not make it difficult for the lower official, no Let the lower officials arrest people."

Dean Sikong gently stroked his long beard, and calmly protected Xiao Tingchen behind him, "The old man's closed disciples are all first-class in character, and you cannot tolerate such slander!"
