Chapter 205 Flip
Scholars making trouble are different from ordinary people.
They are scholars. Scholars can pass the imperial examination and become officials in Daliang. No one can be offended easily, especially since these scholars have teachers behind them. They are suppressed a lot. Without the help of their teachers, it is difficult to resist just the brothers and sisters.
Magistrate Liu frowned slightly and raised his eyes to look at Liu Shizhang.
Liu Shizhang stood up immediately: "My son, let's go and see the situation."
Magistrate Liu was a military commander, and Liang Liang's civil servants had a high status as military commanders. Normally this would not be mentioned, but if he neglected scholars under his rule...
Scholars all over the world will stand together at this time.
Those civil servants will naturally take action.
When a military general is superior to a civil servant, no matter whether he is right or wrong, he is naturally one step shorter.
"I'm afraid it was the tabloid that caused the trouble." Liu Erniang said at this time. She wanted to remind her father and brother, but she was given a blank look by her father.
Liu Erniang's heart suddenly dropped. Suddenly she came to her senses and realized that she had just said the wrong thing.
Doesn't father know this truth? Do you need her to remind you?
Liu Erniang saluted to Magistrate Liu: "My daughter will leave first."
"Don't cause trouble," Magistrate Liu said calmly, "As a daughter's house, help your mother take care of the middle school, and what's happening outside has nothing to do with you."
There was more or less a hint of complaint.
Liu Erniang looked ugly. She thought she was going to see Xie Yuyan's joke, but unexpectedly she was scolded by her father. She didn't dare to argue at the moment, she could only hope that these troubles would subside soon.
Liu Shizhang changed his clothes and hurried out. Before he reached the door of the government office, he heard someone shouting.
"What is a fugitive? Has Mrs. Xie been convicted by the court?"
"Since there is no conviction, how can we escape?"
"I think Mrs. Xie has offended the wealthy businessmen and powerful people."
While they were talking here, there were scholars gathering to discuss something over there.
Liu Shizhang couldn't help but go up and listen, so he sent his servant to inquire.
The boy came back after a while and said: "Those people are discussing the article in tomorrow's tabloid, saying they are raising some big questions in the tabloid."
Liu Shizhang listened carefully.
The boy said: "They said, why did the murderer assassinate Mr. Xie Qi start in a place like Huachuan? In full view of the public, as if he was afraid that he would not be discovered."
"Also, the murderer arrested by the Yamen Office is also very problematic. The murderer is a famous gangster in Xiangzhou. Some people from Xiangzhou know that man and say that he had lung disease years ago. Several doctors who visited him said that The lung accumulation has reached the point of hemoptysis, and the medicine has no effect.”
"It seems reasonable for a person who is about to die to be a murderer. But at the same time... such a person can also bite others at will."
When the boy said this, he suddenly lowered his voice.
"It seems that those scholars got the news that...when Xie Qi's biological mother gave birth, she was also delivered by a stable woman from Xiangzhou."
"Xie Qiye's aunt Zhao's natal family is in Xiangzhou."
Liu Shizhang frowned. Someone was secretly manipulating the direction of the situation to transfer suspicion to Xie Yuyan to Xie Qi's biological mother.
"Dong" "Dong" "Dong" The big drum at the door of the government office was suddenly beaten.
A woman dressed as a maid was kneeling at the gate of the county government office.
"Your Excellency, the daughter of the people sued Mr. Xie Zhao for harming the concubine."
When the nearby people heard the commotion, they all gathered at the gate of the county government office. The woman was surrounded by several scholars, and no one else could get close. It was not until the county government officials came out that the scholars made way for the woman to go forward.
The civil servant looked at the woman: "Who are you?"
Ziyun said: "The daughter of the people is a servant of the Xie family." The literary official asked: "Do you have any evidence to accuse Xie Zhao of harming the concubine?"
Ziyun took out a letter from her arms: "As evidenced by the letter that my seventh master wrote to me in advance. As early as half a month ago, the seventh master suspected that the Xie family would attack him, so he specially wrote to me to tell me , if he makes any mistake, he will bring this letter to the government office to redress his grievances.”
The civil servant was shocked. He never expected that Xie Qi, who was assassinated by the murderer, would still leave a letter.
The clerk took the letter into his hands, but he didn't dare to open it without permission. He wanted to give this kind of evidence to the county magistrate. He looked at Ziyun: "You come with me."
Ziyun followed the clerk into the government office.
Naturally, the people could not go in together and could only whisper outside. When they saw a few scholars, the people asked: "Has the scholar seen the evidence?"
The leader was Zuo Shangying, who told everyone: "I will make a decision after the county magistrate reads it."
"Then the scholar has seen it?"
Zuo Shangying shook his head: "I just heard a few words from that maid."
"Xiucai, please tell me."
Zuo Shangying said: "I don't know whether it is true or false, so how can I spread it randomly?"
"That's all you say. Everyone is just guessing. Even if you are wrong, you will not be blamed, Xiucai."
Zuo Shangying still shook his head: "This is related to Xie Zishao's case, so we can't talk nonsense. But... it doesn't hurt to say one thing."
The people urged Zuo Shangying to speak.
Zuo Shangying said: "The maid said that the Xie family treated Xie Zishao harshly, and that she was favored by Mr. Xie was all lies. Her mother was also targeted by the Xie family in every possible way because she took care of Xie Zishao. She was beaten at every turn, and was eventually tortured to death. Xie Zishao secretly taught her how to read and wanted to take her away from Xie's house. "
"Is there such a thing?"
Zuo Shangying stopped talking at this point.
"What? Does the scholar have any other secrets?"
Zuo Shangying said nothing, and another scholar next to him said: "The Xie family also asked Xie Zishao to take the blame for his brother."
As soon as the scholar finished speaking, a woman squeezed out from the crowd. She was a female prostitute from the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
"I can prove that the person who started fighting in the Plum Blossom Pavilion was Xie Zizhang, not Xie Zishao. It was the eldest son of the Xie family who forced the bastard to recognize him."
"I was given a lot of money at that time," the female prostitute said and sighed, "How could the bastard and I fight against the Xie family's eldest son? We had no choice but to agree."
Everyone knows that female prostitutes are in business for money, so saying so now is just to excuse themselves.
The female prostitute continued: "I heard that Xie Zishao was murdered. I knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so I came to the Yamen Office to explain it clearly. I heard that Xie Zizhang has been imprisoned. Is what I said true? Let the Yamen Office interrogate it. Just know it.”
The female prostitute also followed the government official and walked in.
"Maybe he killed his concubine and framed it for the Yang family's eldest wife."
Someone shouted something, and everyone seemed to suddenly realize.
"Something happened to the Xie family's clay stove a while ago. The Xie family must have hated the eldest lady of the Yang family, so they came up with this idea."
"If the eldest lady of the Yang family is caught, the Yang family's clay stove will collapse. Who can compete with the Xie family for business?"
“We can’t buy a good clay stove, so we can only use Xie’s ones.”
The government office has not yet heard the case, but the result has already been decided in the hearts of the people.
Liu Shizhang frowned. If what happened in the government office today were printed by a tabloid, everyone would think that Yang Xie was wrongly accused.
At that time, even if the Liu family secretly instructs the county magistrate and county magistrate to target the Yang Xie family, I am afraid they will not obey the order.
