Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Yuger finished his homework, but the teacher had not come back yet.

Although the teacher asked him not to slack off, he would not push him too hard and would allow him to play a little after finishing his homework.

Ruyi went to Xie's house to play with Mingyue. Yuger didn't have anything fun to do, so he strolled to the front yamen.

I haven't been to Qianya for a long time.

As soon as he entered the front courtyard, he ran into Zhao Ping.

"Master Yu, how come you have time to come to the front?"

"Oh, I've finished my homework, so I came to take a look." Although he wasn't being lazy, Yu Ge'er still felt guilty when he was suddenly asked: "Did the teacher hold court today?"

"There was no court session today. The Lord was reviewing the case files."

"Then I won't bother you, sir. I'll just walk around the front yamen."

When Zhao Ping heard that Brother Yu was fine, he quickly said, "Master Yu, if you have time, can you go and help me look at my writing?"

"You wrote?"

Zhao Ping said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I've been learning to write recently. I used to ask Master Qin Shi to help me, but after Master Shi went back, no one helped me. Master Yu has been studying for many years, can you help me?"

"Okay, let's go." I'm free anyway and I can't disturb my husband.

As soon as Yu Ge'er saw Zhao Ping's calligraphy, he recognized it and asked, "Is this your handwriting?"

"Yes, Master Shi asked for it for me." Zhao Ping scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Master doesn't know it was written for me, Master Yu, don't tell the master."

Yuger didn't take it seriously. He put it down and picked up the words Zhao Ping had written again.

"Why are you writing one word here and one word there?"

Zhao Pingxue's handwriting is rather scattered.

Except for the first two sentences of Three Character Classic, I learned all the other words by asking questions one by one.

"I learned from the scribes. When they were happy, they would teach a few words, and when they were unhappy, they would stop teaching. There was no coherence."

"Then why don't you just practice calligraphy according to the teacher's copybook? At least it will be a complete article."

Zhao Ping looked embarrassed: "...I don't recognize most of the characters in the adults' calligraphy. I can remember more characters by practicing them."

Since Yuger became an apprentice, his parents and teacher had prepared for him a complete set of Sanbaiqian, character books, character exams, Four Books, and Classics exams. The courses were all carefully arranged by the teacher or master.

I never bothered to think about what to learn or how to learn it. I just had to follow the steps.

In his opinion, learning is just following the teacher's instructions and attending class.

It was not until then that I realized how difficult it was just to learn characters.

"Why don't you prepare a dictionary?"

"What is a dictionary?" Zhao Ping's eyes sparkled with excitement. This dictionary sounded very impressive.

"Uh... a word book is a book for recognizing words. With a word book, I should be able to recognize words by myself."

Yuger is a little unsure. If he buys the calligraphy book, will Zhao Ping be able to use it?

Zhao Ping also seriously asked Yuger to recommend him a few introductory books, and planned to buy them and study them when he had time.

When Qin Yunhe returned to the inner house after finishing his office, Yu Ge'er had already returned to the room where he had classes and was studying a copy of the scriptures written by Qin Yunhe carefully.

Qin Yunhe guessed that he should have finished his homework, but he didn't expect that after finishing his homework, Yu Ge'er didn't go out to play, but was still working hard.

"Have you finished your homework?"

When Yu Ge'er heard the master's voice, he realized that the master had already come in.

"Sir, the office is over. I have finished my homework."

"Why don't you go out and play after you're done?" Qin Yunhe pulled a chair and sat next to Yu Ge'er to look at his homework: "The teacher just wants you not to slack off and not to be so tired. You still need to combine work and rest."

"I finished my homework this afternoon and played for a while. I just came back."

Qin Yunhe nodded, carefully checked Yuger's homework, and tested him again.

"Have you gained anything from reading these scriptures recently?" Yu Ge'er was still finding it difficult to learn the scriptures, so Qin Yunhe found a few old copies of the scriptures for him to study and refer to.

Yu Ge'er frowned and shook his head gently: "Sir, the meaning of the scriptures is so difficult."

"Don't frown, don't be discouraged, it's like this when you first start learning. Read more, watch more, think more, and you will gradually get the hang of it. It took me a long time to get the hang of it, too."

Yu Ge'er was a little skeptical, but he still decided to learn it bit by bit according to the teacher's instructions.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and news came from Linyuan County that the Tanglin Town homicide case had been solved. Ma Qianwen was indeed wrongly accused and was released on the spot.

After receiving the written complaint from the government office, the magistrate of Linyuan County immediately checked the testimony and summoned the witnesses and the clerks who sorted out the case files for interrogation one by one.

It was soon confirmed that the testimony on file in Linyuan County had been tampered with, and even the witnesses' statements had been adjusted.

Normally, if the witness had simply changed his testimony, the magistrate would not have taken it too seriously. However, someone actually found ways to tamper with the testimony, which is very problematic.

After interrogation, the clerk and the witness confessed that it was the brother of the wealthy man who was killed who gave them money to change the time.

The clerk felt that changing the time would not have much impact, and the witness's testimony had also been changed, so he took the money with peace of mind.

The reason why the rich brother spent money to change his testimony was because he learned that the case of his brother's murder, which had originally been convicted, had been reopened for investigation.

After restarting the investigation, they repeatedly confirmed with each witness the time when they met Ma Qianwen.

The rich man's brother thought that if they could make the time given by the witness who reported Ma Qianwen climbing over the wall more accurate and closer to the time of the crime, the case would surely be settled quickly.

At that time, as long as the witness insists that he said that at the time, and the testimony also shows that it is the case, the county magistrate will most likely think that he remembered it wrong, or that the county magistrate did not remember the initial time that was not very accurate.

The case was decided and concluded, and as the elder brother of a wealthy family, he would naturally inherit his younger brother's property.

In fact, the rich man’s brother was the murderer.

It turned out that the rich elder brother went to borrow money from his younger brother because he owed a large debt. Unexpectedly, after going several times, the younger brother was polite but refused to lend him money.

The rich elder brother was dissatisfied: his younger brother only had three married daughters, and the property would eventually belong to him, so why couldn't he lend him some now?

Later, the elder brother took advantage of the dead of night and, since he was familiar with his younger brother's home, he sneaked into his younger brother's home and killed his younger brother and his wife.

The witness said that he saw Ma Qianwen coming out of the rich man's house, but in fact he only saw Ma Qianwen urinating under the wall of the rich man's house. He said that he saw Ma Qianwen coming out of the rich man's house out of personal grudge.

The case was solved, and Qin Yunhe ordered Liu Dianshi to arrange for a reliable clerk to sort out the case files and archive them, and then ordered Hesheng to call Song Shuli who had tampered with the case...

书肆

"Shopkeeper, how much do you think this is?"

Zhao Ping pointed at the dictionary, his hands shaking a little, and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head this time: "Five hundred coins."

Zhao Ping pointed to the Three Character Classic on the side and said, "What about this?"

"One hundred and fifty coins."

Zhao Ping's heart sank.

He originally wanted to take advantage of not being on duty to buy some enlightenment books recommended by Yuger.

But I didn't expect the book to be so expensive...
