Fox Road Travel Notes

Chen Zifu asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"He vomited blood and said to me: 'Brother, thank you so much!'"

Chen Zican sat up straight and looked at Chen Zifu with calm eyes.

But there is an unshakable force: "I will overturn the verdict for him!"

From the age of four, my younger brother has been a fool.

A fool wipes away the pain, and of course there is no joy.

A fool who forgets his enemies will of course have no friends.

Chen Zifu's heart ached.

After a pause, he asked: "Gao Xinzhi, is he your friend?"

Chen Zican looked directly at him and nodded slowly.

Chen Zifu frowned: "Is this the reason why you want to reverse his case?"

Chen Zican nodded and shook his head.

"He was wronged."

This is the real reason, a reason that no one can refuse.

Just as Chen Zifu was about to speak, Chen Zican smiled bitterly and stretched out his palm: "Brother, there is no need to ask, I have no evidence now."

"But I am convinced that he was wrongly accused."

"Since he was wrongly accused, there must be evidence to prove his innocence!"

Chen Zifu thought for a moment: "I'll give you three days."

"If you need manpower, you can come to the Yamen to find Liu Er."

"elder brother--"

Chen Zifu stopped him and said helplessly: "Five days!"

"There can be no more. Do you know that according to court regulations, except for murder cases, all other lawsuits must be concluded within ten days?"

He sighed: "Including today, this is a waste of six days."

"If we can't obtain a confession within four days, we will—"

"Is it necessary to use torture?"

"..."

Chen Zican pouted: "What kind of broken law is this!"

"Okay, five days, five days! Brother, please do something -"

"Don't worry, I won't interrogate him or torture him in these five days."

"That's not it!"

Chen Zican tapped the teapot with his fingers and made a sound: "I have a letter that needs to be sent to Qinghe County immediately..."

At dusk, three fast horses, guarding a light carriage with oil walls, galloped into Xiuwu County.

He has a face with the Chinese character of "horse knight", under two thick eyebrows, his eyes are deep and calm, showing no anger and self-importance.

He reined in his mount, and the two attendants behind him also reined in their horses at the same time. Their movements were uniform and in perfect harmony.

He circled the horses and came to the cart.

He said in a deep voice: "Miss Wang, we've arrived at the county seat. Let's find an inn first, inquire about the situation, and then decide where to go."

The car curtain opened, revealing a pretty face without makeup.

The facial features are exquisite and small, and the corners of the mouth have shallow pear dimples, and they always seem to be smiling.

Although, she didn't laugh.

Looking at the street outside, she said to herself: "My brother goes to school here!"

"Song General——, oh, uncle, I'm not Miss Wang, just call me Yan'er."

Song Lieshan frowned slightly. It wasn't that he didn't like this girl.

Although Wang Yaner is not a lady, she has the liveliness and sincerity of Xiaojiabiyu.

He just had some grudges in his heart. He was dissatisfied with Gao Xinzhi for not listening to him and insisting on making the matter a storm and making people laugh.

After receiving a letter from Xiuwu County Government and learning that Gao Xinzhi was in prison, he immediately informed his sister.

The wedding date will definitely be delayed.

After thinking about it, my sister felt that she couldn't hide it from Xiao Yan'er, even though her son's crime was very disgraceful.

However, she believed that her son was innocent, and so did Xiao Yaner.

When Wang Yan'er heard the news, this girl, who was often busy in the bank store, was obviously much calmer and more assertive than Gao Xinzhi's mother.

She immediately requested that she and General Song rush to Xiuwu County to inquire about the news and take care of things.

Song Lieshan turned around and said, "Then, let's find an inn first!"

"No, uncle, let's find someone first!"

Song Lieshan was a little surprised: "Looking for someone? You are in Xiuwu County..."

Of course, Wang Yan'er couldn't have any acquaintances here. He knew he had made a mistake and didn't say any more.

Wang Yaner shook her head: "Let's go find Chen Zican."

"My brother said that he was his best brother and a very capable person."

General Song stroked his beard, a little doubtful.

"So, do you know where he is?"

Wang Yan'er thought for a while and brushed her bangs: "Let's go to the county school..."

Chen Zican felt a little distracted this afternoon.

He didn't hear a word of Master Qi's nagging, and he didn't see a bit of his classmates' pointing.

In Chen Zican's inner world, they are just the background, not even passers-by, so why should they care?

He was thinking about how to use the rules of this era.

And where is the possibility of a comeback hidden?

There is no doubt that this time, he met his opponent.

A very vicious, cunning, and very difficult opponent.

Although, so far, he doesn't even know who this opponent is.

Master Qi?

impossible!

Min Jingzong? Thinking that he relied on the method of hyping up filial piety to rise to the top, it is quite possible.

However, when I think of his behavior in court, I feel that something is wrong...

After school, Chen Zican, who was puzzled by his thoughts, walked out of the gate of the Confucius Temple with his head lowered.

The plaque of "Ming Lun Hall" shines behind him.

"Chen Zican?"

There was a carriage parked on the roadside, and a girl's clear voice came from the carriage window.

Chen Zican stopped and slowly raised his head, looking at the cute girl.

"You are Chen Zican!"

There was joy in her voice. She opened the door and wanted to get out, but felt it was inappropriate and hesitated.

Over there, General Song, who was asking around, turned around when he heard the sound and strode over.

"Xiao Yan'er, how do you know I am Chen Zican?" Chen Zican smiled.

"Ah! You are so smart, you are indeed Chen Zican!"

She was surprised, then quickly calmed down her expression, and gave Chen Zican a serious salute in the car.

"I, I saw that all the scholars in the county school were very happy, but you were the only one who was worried, so——"

"So, I am Chen Zican?"

Chen Zican smiled. Now, he felt that Gao Xinzhi was very discerning, and he also liked this girl very much.

"You're smart too!"

General Song came over and stared at Chen Zican with a pair of hawk-like eyes.

Looking up and down, he seemed a little surprised by his immature face.

"Are you his friend?"

Of course Chen Zican knew that he was General Song, but he had to pretend to be a stranger.

He nodded: "I am his friend."

Looking at this frail teenager, General Song made no secret of his disappointment.

He sighed and said to Xiao Yan'er: "Let's go find the inn."

Chen Zican saw his reaction in his eyes and smiled slightly.

"No need to look for an inn, I will take you directly to the county prison."

"See Gao Xinzhi first, and then you can go back."

"Staying here won't help you much..."

Hearing this, General Song and his companions immediately changed their expressions.

They had all forgotten how many years no one dared to speak like this in front of General Song.

"Boy, you-"

The man next to him who looked extremely skinny, but whose palms were black and purple, and who was particularly plump, took a step forward and yelled loudly.

The finger pointing at Chen Zican's face was like a small carrot.

"What do you mean?"

General Song's face also darkened.

Chen Zican reached out and moved his fingers away from his face, his face showing no emotion.

"I mean, you guys can't help me much!"
