Chapter 404 The Truth of the Case
Mashanxiong looked at Gu Zhao like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass.
Yun Conghengxian also reminded Gu Zhao that it was first because of Yun Conghengxian's involvement, and then because Gu Zhao openly humiliated Mashanxiong on the street. Now Mashanxiong has regarded Gu Zhao as his enemy and will never let her go.
But the reserve on Gu Zhao's face did not decrease because of this. On the contrary, she raised her chin slightly. In Mashanxiong's eyes, it was like a provocation.
As soon as Zhong Kewei appeared, the entire hall became quiet.
Everyone stood up and saluted to the top.
After Zhong Kewei sat down, he waved his hand to signal everyone to continue taking the seat.
This time, Gu Zhao, as the top candidate in the talent selection exam, sat at the top of the lower side of the steps, and other admitted candidates were arranged one by one according to their rankings.
Opposite Gu Zhao, there were Donghao officials and nobles such as Yun Congjiyu, and Qin Xinglie was arranged next to Yun Congjiyu. As long as Gu Zhao turned his head slightly, he could face his eyes.
Yi Lansuxiang sat behind Qin Xinglie. This position means that she appeared here as an identity affiliated with Qin Xinglie.
Gu Zhao's eyes were slightly cold. It seemed that some relationship had formed between the two people that she didn't know.
Zhong Kewei raised his hand, and an official walked to the hall and said loudly, "In order to recruit talents and build a prosperous era together, Zhongshuai..."
Before he could finish a sentence, a huge roar suddenly came from outside the hall, as if hundreds of people were shouting together.
If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the names of "Hong Yeke" and "Yilan Minxue".
Needless to say, everyone present guessed what was going on. It must be those Bei'an scholars who stood up for Hong Yeke that had caused trouble outside the gate of Zhong Shuai's mansion again.
But this time the shouting was extremely loud, and obviously the number and scale of the people were much more expanding than before.
Soon, soldiers from the city guards ran in and reported, "Ship Zhong! Many people from Bei'an gathered outside the door, and they all shouted that you would hand over the Yi Lan Minxue to pay for Hong Ye's life!"
Zhong Kewei's expression remained calm and he could not tell his happiness or anger at all. "How many people are there?"
"Five or six hundred people!"
An officer next to him stood up and said, "Ship Zhong, these Bei'an people are too arrogant. They dare to make trouble outside the Shuai Mansion! I will arrest them!"
Hearing his words, most of the dozen Bei'an scholars looked embarrassed, and a few lowered their heads and dared not show their unfairness.
Zhong Kewei waved his hand, "Jun Gong, it's not the Bei'an army, why do you need to use force?"
He looked at Mashan Yu indifferently, "Ma Jun, hasn't Hong Yeke's case been handed over to you? Isn't the truth clear yet?"
Mashanxiong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Zhongshuai, Yi Lanminxue does not admit that he killed Hong Yeke."
This sentence made everyone's eyes look strange when they looked at Mashanxiong.
What does the city guards do? Yi Lanmin learned to learn that they had no choice but to do so if they didn't admit it, they might as well change their careers and open a charity hall.
Zhongkewei looked at Mashanxiong quietly, waiting for his explanation.
The captain of another city guard army next to him sneered, "If Ma Jun is not good at interrogation, I am willing to help."
Mashanxiong glared at him, "Bong Xuyue, you will only torture roughly and then get false confessions!"
"Have you ever thought that if Yi Lanminxue was really wronged and our city guards did not discover the truth and executed him as the murderer, would that be how proud the real murderer would be?"
"The Bei'an scholars' associations are spreading everywhere, saying that the Dahao royal family plotted to murder the talented men from Bei'an who came to take the talent selection exam because of jealousy! This is a great harm to our Dahao's image!"
"And Zhongshuai's plan to recruit talents and win the hearts of the people will be completely destroyed!"
The scholars in Bei'an looked a little unfavorable. Smart people had long thought of these things, but Mashanxiong said it openly in front of them, and they felt a little uncomfortable.
Gong Xuyue sneered, "Do you still need to tell me about this kind of thing?"
"It is because I know the seriousness of this case that I want to help you. Otherwise, at the speed of Ma Jun, you have been doing this for a few days, I don't know when I can find out the truth and calm the resentment of those Bei'an scholars."
Mashanxiong looked calm, "I have my own way of dealing with it, and you don't need to worry about it."
Gong Xuyue refused to give up. He, Yun Conghengxian and Mashanxiong both wanted to take the position of commander of the city guards. How could he miss such a good opportunity to attack Mashanxiong?
"Your way? Your way is to delay time and protect Yi Lanmin from learning?" Gong Xuyue's eyes swept across Yi Lansuxiang's face, and a wicked smile appeared on his face. "I know that Ma Jun and Mrs. Suxiang have always had close relationships and can't resist the begging of the beauty. It is understandable that it is understandable to find a way to get Yi Lanmin out of learning."
"If it were other times, my Dahao royal family members killed a Bei'an man, it was not much different from killing a chicken or a dog."
“But this time it’s different.”
"Ma Jun, as a colleague for many years, I sincerely advise you not to abolish public and ruin Zhongshuai's major affairs because of personal gain."
Ma Shanxiong stared at Gong Xuyue sinisterly, and his tongue pushed his cheeks up, without hiding his murderous intent at all. "Bong Xuyue, I suspect that you have something to do with the real murderer in this case, so I will try my best to help him take the charge on Yi Lanminxue!"
Gong Xuyue didn't take his attitude seriously at all. He laughed and said, "Do you doubt it? No wonder Ma Jun can't find out the truth until now. It turns out that your case is not based on evidence, but on your guess?"
