farmer's husband

Chapter 108 Listen to me tell a story

"Okay, tell me." Prefect Song nodded.

Chai Dong also nodded, and slowly told the story——

"On a certain day in a certain year, in a certain dynasty, there was a place called Jiangsan Province, and there was a place in the province called Fengshuang County. There was a scholar in Fengshuang County. He was a little clever. He went to a private school to attend a few Once, he could recite a few lines of poems to his parents after listening to them. His parents were overjoyed after hearing this, and deeply felt that their family was going to be an official! So, the whole family began to save money for him to study. He also He really lived up to it, and he was conceived under the age of 20. His parents were even happier, and everyone in the village praised him, saying that their family would surely flourish in a short while."

"The whole family couldn't help being overjoyed, so they served him more attentively, hoping that he would be selected as a scholar, and then be selected as an official to shine in the family. However, his luck as a student seemed to end here. Since then, Every time he went to take the exam for a scholar, he always failed the exam. He failed the exam six times in a row. But he always felt that it was just his bad luck, and he would definitely pass next time! His family also thought so, so Never let him work, just tell him to study hard."

"This year, he went to the provincial capital to take the exam again. It's just that his family was poor and didn't have much money, so he couldn't afford to live in an inn, so he had to rent a room three miles away from the exam room. The owner of the house even brought his wife to cook by his side, so he had the audacity to try to eat, but he was rejected by others, so he hated it. Later, another unsuspecting person rented the remaining room , he instigated that person to find trouble, but he was exposed again, and the two families ignored him.

"He was alone, he wanted to eat or not, and he wanted to wear or not, but his body was spoiled by his family long ago, and he preferred to enjoy himself. Therefore, he quietly came up with an idea-to steal someone else's clothes and put them in the well at night. Ice-cold steamed buns to eat, so that he can continue to buy wine and drink with the saved money! He even became addicted to stealing, and even the food he brought to the examination room was stolen from others!"

"It's a pity that he did all his calculations, but he didn't realize that the steamed bun was brought from home by someone else. He traveled all the way, and lived in the provincial capital for half a month. After more than a month, the steamed bun was moldy. He ate one on the day of the first exam, and ended up with a bad stomach. He clutched his belly and rolled back home to squat before entering the exam room. So, he is destined to be a failure in this exam."

"However, when things got to this point, he didn't know how to reflect on himself. Instead, he blamed the person who put the steamed buns in the well—it's all his fault! If it wasn't for his steamed buns, how could he have eaten his stomach? The reason why he couldn't get in The exam room, it was all caused by him! So, he thought of revenge. But after thinking about it, he always felt that since he couldn't take the exam, he should let that person fail the exam, otherwise he wouldn't be able to swallow this. Tone! So, he waited patiently until the person finished the first two exams, and then he took the third exam, and framed that person with a cheat sheet. He even knew that because the person entered the arena , the other person who lived with him secretly gave him a piece of cake every day, so he even counted the person who lived with him."

"Ah, so it is like this!" Hearing what Chai Dong said, Wei Zhong suddenly realized, "I just said that in those few days, the steamed buns I put in the well were missing two every day, so you took them! Fortunately, I always thought Brother Chai's cat stole it!"

ah?He actually thought it was the third son?
When Chun Zhi heard this, she was also taken aback.But what surprised her even more was that someone took her few steamed buns, but he didn't make a sound, and he was as good to Chai Dong as before, and he didn't even confess to Chai Dong in that situation just now. Come.This man... Should she call him honest or stupid?
As Chai Dong told the story, Wei Qize trembled more and more.However, when faced with Shang Wei Zhong's accusation, he suddenly stopped shaking.

"Do you believe what this little bastard makes up nonsense? Have you eaten for nothing all these years? Don't forget, we are all surnamed Wei! The same surname in the world is a family, and I will not harm my own family." right?" he whispered angrily.

Wei Zhong was fooled by him.

"That's right, so... I'm thinking too much?" He blinked and asked in a low voice.

Seeing this honest look, Chun Zhi couldn't help sighing while touching his forehead.

Chai Dong also took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Whether he regards you as his own family or not, we will know when the officials bring our pen and ink. And... if I guessed correctly, your bag All the steamed buns should have been stuffed. After all, this person is not very smart. He couldn't think of a better way to frame him, so he could only use the most stupid way - to stuff all the steamed buns, so that no matter what Whichever one you take, he can catch one accurately."

As he spoke, he paused. "It's best not to let me see that all the entrainments are exactly the same. Otherwise, his framing is too perfunctory!"

"You you you... What nonsense are you talking about? Little bastard, you are spitting blood, I will fight you!" Wei Qize suddenly became extremely excited.He yelled and cursed loudly, and even raised his fist to hit Chai Dong.

However, there was no need for Chai Dong to dodge by himself, Song Zhifu quickly ordered around. "Stop him!"

The officials on both sides immediately stepped forward and dragged him aside.

After a while, the officials who used to search for evidence also returned.

"Master Zhifu, the pens and inks of these three people have been brought back. There are indeed a few steamed buns hanging in the well, and the subordinates have brought them back too!" It was presented.

"Take out these steamed buns first, break them apart and have a look." Song Zhifu immediately said.

"Yes!" The officials immediately took orders, poured out the steamed buns and broke them open one by one, and they found that there were exactly the same cheat sheets as what Wei Qize discovered just now!

"Really!" Song Zhifu saw this, and he couldn't help but whispered.

Spread out the cheat sheet and take a look... He couldn't help but look back at Chai Dong again.

Chai Dong didn't even look over there, he just pulled the corner of his mouth contemptuously. "It's so stupid."

Song Zhifu's face also sank. "Then take all the things written by the three of them and show it to the government!"

The head catcher hurriedly asked someone to present all the papers written by the three men.Among them, Chai Dong and Wei Zhong had the most, while Wei Qize only had two pitiful pieces of paper with some random things written on them.

But it's good to have something.Moreover, the three of them are of different ages and personalities, so the words they write are of course very different.Chai Dong is handsome and elegant, Wei Zhong is honest and calm, and Wei Qize is loose and mad.Comparing these words with the one on the tape, they immediately discovered——

"Bold Wei Qize, you dare to forge accusations and frame others!" Song Zhifu's complexion became more gloomy in an instant, and he scolded through gritted teeth.

Wei Qize finally couldn't take it anymore.He hurriedly knelt down again with a plop, and kowtowed straightly: "Master Zhifu, please forgive me, please forgive me! The younger one is only in a hurry to do this kind of thing because of a momentary loss of heart, now the younger one already knows that he is wrong, please ask for knowledge Your Majesty, please spare me!"

"Are you insane? You know you're wrong?" Song Zhifu couldn't help sneering, "Judging from your words and deeds, you clearly planned it long ago. How could you be insane? If it wasn't for being Tell all the bad things you have done, and now you have all the evidence in front of you, and you will never admit it! You don't know you are wrong, you just know you can't escape, so you pretend to admit your mistakes in order to ask for forgiveness That's all. You are such a small-minded, unpredictable person, you made trouble on the day of the exam, and even wanted to entrap two innocent students, how could this government spare you?"

When Wei Qize heard this, he was even more frightened, and immediately kowtowed harder.

Now that this person has pleaded guilty, Chai Dong didn't say any more, he just looked at Song Zhifu: "Now that we are proven innocent, can we go to the examination room?"

"Of course!" Turning his head, Song Zhifu's eyes became extremely kind when he faced him again, "It's just... it's been half an hour since the show started, can you still have time?"

This is also what Harue is worried about.

The bell for the start of the exam had already rang half an hour ago.By now, other students may have already written a lot of papers.The two of them have been tossed like this, and their hearts have long been confused. Even if they can enter the arena again, can they still calm down and answer the questions?Even if they can calm down slowly, there is not enough time left for them!
"It's in time." However, Chai Dong nodded immediately, his expression as stable as before, "Since I'm here, I must do my best to obey the destiny. I just think I have no regrets in my heart."

"What a worthy one!" Song Zhifu was very satisfied with his response, "If that's the case, then you go in and do your best!"

After finishing speaking, he gave instructions to the people behind. "Let them enter the examination room."

"Thank you, magistrate." Chai Dong hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, then he held the box in one hand and pulled Wei Zhong up with the other, "Let's go!"
