Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

"This is written by two people, right?" All the people who received the letter said in confirmation.

"That's right, then look at this letter." The county magistrate immediately took out Zhou Mingxuan's.

"Although at first glance, it seems to be different, but this style of writing shows that the habit of the person who wrote it cannot be changed for a while, so it is only similar in spirit but not in shape." Several people looked at it one after another, and said after carefully identifying it.

"If you don't put them together, it's really not easy to see." The person who received the letter couldn't help but frowned and said, "It's too obvious if the two letters are put together."

Obviously this person has noticed that he seems to be used by others.

"So we were deceived? Who could be so vicious to frame a little lady?" The person who understood said with an expression of disbelief.

"This is too human!" Shocked and couldn't help but say.

"If you frame a little lady like this, see if I don't beat her up!" There are even more outraged people who scold the other party for being shameless. The main reason is that they are being fooled like fools, and they feel bad when they think about it.

"Mr. Zhou, shouldn't you tell me why you did this?" The magistrate's expression changed, and he stared at Zhou Mingxuan and asked.

"I, I, I didn't..." Zhou Mingxuan said in a panic.

"Isn't it? Zhou Mingxuan did it himself?" The crowd looked at Zhou Mingxuan dumbfounded. They never thought that there would be a man who would plant a green hat on their heads.

"Zhou Mingxuan! It's not true!" The county magistrate suddenly yelled loudly!

"Big, high official, I'm wronged..." Even though Zhou Mingxuan's legs were trembling with fear, his mouth was still hard.

"Are you wronged?" Pang Yu couldn't help complaining, "Can you be more wronged than the little lady who was almost hanged to death by you?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Mingxuan instinctively said with disgust when he saw this handsome man.

"This is my savior." The little lady said with a look of respect on her face.

"Daughter..." The little lady's mother finally couldn't help but stepped forward and came to the little lady.

"Mother." The little lady's eyes were still red at this moment, her mother was so weak that she was powerless to resist her authoritarian father, even if she knew that her father wanted her to hang herself, she didn't dare to say anything.

If her father was the executioner who forced her to death, then the mother was the accomplice of inaction!

"My daughter." The mother couldn't bear it anymore, and cried bitterly while hugging her own daughter.

"Isn't it really a ghost?" The little lady's brother looked at his sister in horror and subconsciously said.

"If I were a ghost, I would definitely turn into a ghost and come back to take revenge!" The little lady glared at her younger brother. How much she loves this younger brother on weekdays, now she hates him so much.

"You, you hanged yourself, why come back to avenge yourself!" The little lady's father said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Didn't you force me to hang myself, father?" The little lady cast a gloomy glance at her father, and said with a sneer.

"If you do such a thing, how can our family gain a foothold in the local area? I can only..." The little lady's father immediately said furiously, if it wasn't for his daughter not to love herself!

"What did I do? The officials said I was innocent, but you, my biological father, only forced your own daughter to hang herself to preserve the family's reputation? Ridiculous!" The little lady is not as weak as before. It wasn't her fault, why should she bear the consequences?

Even her relatives refused to investigate, and directly convicted her. How could this be a relative with blood?Enemies are not so cruel!

"Sister, you were not like this before." The little lady's younger brother said with a surprised face.

"I died once, and the Palace of Hades didn't accept me, so of course I understand." The little lady didn't go to see her brother, thinking of sad things, when the thunderbolt came from the blue sky, her relatives all wanted to force herself to death.

"Silence!" The county magistrate roared angrily, "What do you think this is, a vegetable market?"

"Mighty!" The servants hurriedly sang loudly.

"Zhou Mingxuan, do you still want to deny it? Anyone who reads your handwriting can immediately distinguish it. You are so shameless to imitate this little lady's handwriting and write those courtship letters!" The county magistrate angrily said again, " In vain for a scholar!"

"Nephew Zhou, Zhou Mingxuan! You really did it?!" The little lady's father finally came to his senses, and pointed his trembling fingers at the promising future son-in-law.

"I..." Zhou Mingxuan didn't dare to admit it even if he was beaten to death, "I didn't!"

If he dared to admit this, he might suffer from the county magistrate's anger.

"You didn't?" Pang Yu complained there, "You have done a lot to break off the engagement."

"You just want to break the engagement, so you hurt my daughter's reputation?! You hurt my daughter's life!" The little lady's father was finally furious, and rushed forward. Don't look at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter, this father is probably four years old. Less than ten is Kong Wu's powerful age.

Immediately, the other party couldn't get away from him for a while, Zhou Mingxuan retorted, "Don't accuse me, the most I want is to break off the engagement, the one who killed her was you, but I heard her say that you forced her Hanged himself."

"Damn bastard!" Stimulated by Zhou Mingxuan's words, the little lady's father wanted to beat him up even harder.

"Pull the two of you apart!" The county magistrate was very troubled by this farce, and it seemed that they would not be ruthless, they really thought this was a vegetable market!

"Still separated!" Catcher stepped forward and separated the two like catching chickens. Didn't the county magistrate's face turn black?

"You are roaring in court, I will beat you!" The county magistrate couldn't help but warned, and he couldn't bear it next time!

"The officials are wronged, this week's bastard is too much, in order to withdraw the engagement, he came up with such a vicious trick!" The little lady's father couldn't bear this wrong, and hurriedly shouted.

"Don't worry, one or two of you, don't try to run away." The county magistrate said with a smile.

"What? Senior officials, we are the ones who suffer." The little lady's father looked in disbelief, and really couldn't understand what the county magistrate meant.

"Wrong, the sufferer here is only the little lady." The county magistrate glanced at Pang Yu, nodded, and said to the two people in the hall.

At this moment, the little lady's family members were also a little confused. They never expected that the county magistrate would say such a thing.

But the county magistrate will say so, which has something to do with what is written on the pleadings. At the same time, there is a letter written by Pang Yu himself. As for why the county magistrate is so cooperative, because this person is none other than In the same imperial examination as Pang Yu, he was recommended by him later, and came to the second place in the south with the regent.

This person hates evil like an enemy. Under his own governance, such a thing happened, how could he let them go.

In his opinion, it is wrong to use such a bad method to withdraw the marriage. In order to protect the family, the parents of the little lady forced their daughter to death, and dare to call themselves the sufferer?

In the end who is the sufferer, if he is blind and can't see it?

Looking at his champion in the same period, the current prince and grand teacher, the princess of the regent, clearly came to support the little lady.

Isn't his prince jealous?

Zhao Jue said, hehe, is he jealous of a fifteen or sixteen year old lady?No threat!

Zhou Mingxuan frankly confessed that in recent years, the little lady's family has been getting worse and worse. Their Zhou family intends to divorce, but in the final analysis, the woman has nothing wrong with it, and the direct divorce will affect his reputation. Well, if he wants to take the imperial examination, his reputation is still very important. If he is affected by the divorce, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Someone gave him some pointers and came up with this trick.

"Who is the person who gave you advice?" Pang Yu asked from the side.

"I don't know the little one, yes, I met him in a tea room. He is very nice and willing to listen to my troubles." At this time, Zhou Mingxuan didn't care about anything else, and replied directly.

"Heh, that's great, it can help you think of these bad ideas." Pang Yu complained.

"Draw this person's portrait." The county magistrate immediately ordered.

"Young one, I'm not good at painting." Zhou Mingxuan said with a wry smile.

"Coincidentally, I'm good at it." Pang Yu smiled again and asked someone to bring a pen and paper.

Zhou Mingxuan was dumbfounded when he perfectly drew the appearance described by Zhou Mingxuan. How could it be possible to draw such a resemblance? Is this something a human can do?

"As expected of Taishi Pang." The county magistrate couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me?" Pang Yubai said with a glance at the guy. "Know that I am a prince and grand teacher without real power."

"How come, your painting skills are the first in this dynasty." The county magistrate retorted.

Of course, those who should be punished still have to be punished. For those with bad circumstances like Zhou Mingxuan, who almost killed the little lady because of rumors, ten years of imprisonment is inevitable. With Zhao Jue around, 20 years directly, of course There is also money to compensate the little lady.

If it wasn't for the fact that the little lady didn't deserve to die, and met a little thief who dug it out, the little lady would have died tragically in the coffin now.

As for the little lady's parents, the family fined some money, which was almost enough for the little lady to live alone. The main reason was to ask the little lady if she would like to go home.

Obviously she was unwilling, and she didn't want to have any contact with them anymore.

Those few people who spread the courtship letter and showed it off everywhere directly demanded to write a letter of apology and a large sum of compensation.

Before Pang Yu and the others left, the Zhou family went to find the little lady, hoping to get her forgiveness. After all, their son is still so young, and after 20 years of prison life, he will be [-] years old.

They may not be able to wait for such a long time, but they are also smart, knowing that it is useless to seek the county magistrate, so they go to the little lady.

It's a pity that Ruyi's calculations were too precise, the little lady followed Pang Yu and the others, and there were guards and court ladies, let alone seeing each other, they couldn't even see anyone.

"Are you sure you want to follow us?" Pang Yu asked again.

The lawsuit has been concluded, and her parents have given all the money to the young lady. It was originally her dowry, but now all of it has been converted into silver money, and an extra [-]% has been added.

Adding in the compensation from other people, this little lady is not the poor little one with only a thin coffin, and her net worth can be considered a little rich.

Even if you go to Bianjing to buy a small courtyard, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life.

"I'm sure, you officials saved my life, and I don't want to stay here any longer." The little lady really didn't want to stay in this place, and she also heard that the maids of the Regent's Palace were treated well, so she started to follow them thoughts.

"Okay then." Pang Yu nodded. Over the past few days, he found that this little lady is quite clever. Come up with such a dirty trick.

He deserved to be dragged to mine now, and his parents came to him, but he was turned away even more.

The little lady was allowed to pack her things happily. Besides the money, her parents also sent her some clothes, which should have been burned, but her mother was really reluctant, so she kept them for a few years.

If I knew it was like this, why bother? If it weren't for their cruelty and indiscriminate indiscrimination, the little lady would not hang herself wronged.

Early the next morning, Pang Yu and his carriage were ready to set off. Originally, they wanted to see Zhou Mingxuan being thrown into the mines before leaving. However, Zhao Jue received news that Yuezhou had some problems and they needed to go to deal with them. Leave early.

Besides, they still need to solve the Yuezhou matter, go back to the train station, meet up with their families, and then return to Bianjing City together.
