At this time, everyone suddenly remembered that Wang Rusheng's family was poor.
I often had to rely on copying books for bookstores to subsidize expenses.
It would be a joke to say that he brought twenty taels of silver with him for living expenses.
"Wang Rusheng, where did your twenty taels of silver come from?" the mountain leader asked seriously.
Wang Rusheng's expression changed drastically, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Chief, what do you mean by this?" Wang Rusheng shouted: "Are you suspecting that the student's money came from something illegitimate?"
The mountain chief frowned.
At first he didn't have such doubts, but what Wang Rusheng said reminded him.
"Since the path is upright, let's tell it." The mountain leader said majestically.
"Chief, you are questioning the student's character!" Wang Rusheng was panicked and shouted: "Students who have been studying since childhood, how could they do things like frame up classmates just to get money?"
"Uncle Shanchang didn't say that you framed my brother for money." Little Tangbao kindly reminded, "But now, you have said it yourself." Remember it in one second.
Wang Rusheng, "..."
When did he say it?
He He……
"Brother, he is so stupid." Little Sugar Baby looked at Su Laowu and said.
Su Laowu touched his sister's head, a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Exactly, he is so stupid. He did the thing that didn't have three hundred taels of silver here." Su Laowu Shi Shiran said.
Wang Rusheng, "...Nonsense! I didn't..."
The little sugar baby looked at Wang Rusheng as if he were a fool.
"Do you think others are as stupid as you?" The little sugar baby said sympathetically in a childish tone: "Anyone who is not a fool will know that you must have received money from bad people, so you framed my brother, you said it yourself
Out."
Others in the little sugar baby's mouth, "..."
They won't admit it anyway, they are just as stupid.
They just didn't know, they just didn't see it.
Well, now they understand.
Liu Shanchang was a little surprised and glanced at the little sugar baby.
"What the little girl said is absolutely true. Wang Rusheng, you yourself said that you have no grievances against Su Wuhu and it is impossible to frame him." Liu Shanchang said: "Now, you have such an unknown origin.
Yinzi, he did something to frame his classmates again, there must be a reason for this."
"I, I didn't frame you..."
Wang Rusheng's face was pale, his mind was in a state of confusion, his forehead was sweating, and he was stumbling when speaking.
"Hmph! Are you unwilling to admit it?" Lin Enyi snorted coldly and said, "In that case, then go to the Yamen and tell the truth! I believe those jailers will definitely have a way to make you tell the truth."
After Lin Enyi finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Rusheng's arm.
With a little force on his palm, Wang Rusheng screamed in pain.
"Let's go!" Lin Enyi said with fierce eyes.
Wang Rusheng was in pain and scared, and couldn't help but scream.
"I said I said..."
If he enters the Yamen, his life will be over.
At this moment, Wang Rusheng regretted it to death.
"Someone gave me twenty taels of silver and asked me to find a way to drive Junior Su out of the academy and ruin his reputation. After that, I will be given another two hundred taels of silver as a reward..."
"That's it! My sister is right. It is indeed you two bad guys who teamed up to frame my brother!" Su Xiao shouted: "Uncle Lin, let's take them to the Yamen..."
Su Xiaoxiao reached out to pull Zhang Changhao.
Zhang Changhao was so frightened that he stepped back, looked at Su Laowu with a pleading expression, and bowed repeatedly.
"Junior Su, I was also bewitched by Confucian Wang, so I was confused for a moment and did something wrong. Please forgive me this time, Junior Su..."
"Bewitched?" Su Laowu said coldly: "Just for a mere ten taels of silver, you can lose your integrity and do things that ruin people's reputations. It shows that you have a bad nature and cannot be treated as a human being!"
"What's more, if you succeed, Su's life will be over!"
"Zhang Changhao, tell yourself, why should I forgive you?"
"You deliberately framed a member of the court, how should you be convicted? You should abide by the law!"
Zhang Changhao's face turned ashen after hearing Su Laowu's words.
Unable to stand any longer, he sat down on the ground with a "plop".
Ten taels of silver... Just because of ten taels of silver, he was going to be sent to the Yamen?
If he leaves a criminal record, what is the use of studying in his life?
The road to the imperial examination was completely discontinued.
Wang Rusheng also looked defeated when he saw Zhang Changhao's appearance.
Immediately, his legs went weak and he knelt down crying.
"Junior Su, I have no choice but to do it. My family is really in dire straits and we can no longer afford the money for repair... My mother has been doing embroidery all day in order to raise money for me, and she is almost blind..."
What Wang Rusheng said was miserable and extremely tragic.
All I have to say is that I have a ten-year-old mother to serve and a three-year-old child to feed.
Not only that, Wang Rusheng kowtowed while talking.
He looked remorseful.
When Zhang Changhao saw it, he burst into tears of regret.
"Junior Su, please let me go this time. From now on, I will change my mind and live a peaceful life. I will never be used by people with bad intentions again..."
Zhang Changhao said and glanced at Wang Rusheng bitterly.
Immediately, he also knelt in front of Su Laowu.
He looked like he had changed his mind and was a new person.
The students around him were originally filled with indignation at what Wang Rusheng and Zhang Changhao had done.
Now seeing the two of them looking like this, they both felt compassion again.
After all, scholars value integrity more than anything else.
As the saying goes, a man has gold at his knees.
Now these two people are kneeling down in public, completely disregarding the integrity of scholars.
These students couldn't help but want to intercede on behalf of the two of them.
As everyone knows, since these two people can do such things that ruin people's futures, how can they have the integrity of scholars?
To put it bluntly, both of them are not only greedy for money, but also narrow-minded.
The reason why they framed Su Laowu was because they were jealous of Su Laowu's talent.
Su Laowu was obviously younger than the two of them, but he was always praised by his master.
The two of them had long been filled with jealousy.
"Junior Su, since they have sincerely admitted their mistakes, why don't we let them go and not send them to the Yamen?" someone said tentatively.
Su Laowu looked at Liu Shanchang.
After all, this incident happened in the county school.
Liu Shanchang thought for a while, looked at Wang Rusheng and Zhang Changhao, and said in a stern voice: "You two did such a despicable thing, which insults my reputation as a scholar and the reputation of the county school. The county school will definitely not Leave you two alone!"
After Liu Shanchang finished speaking, he looked at Su Laowu.
"Su Wuhu, since the two of them have sincerely repented, what do you think, why not kick them out of the academy and be expelled?"
Liu Shanchuan's meaning was obvious, he just didn't want to report to the official.
Once reported to the official, the impact will be huge.
The emergence of such students in a county school will affect the reputation of the county school.
In the view of the mountain chief, expelling people directly is considered a severe punishment for them.
After hearing what Liu Shanchang said, Wang Rusheng and Zhang Changhao felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Although they were not sent to the Yamen, but they were expelled from the academy, how would they explain to their families? How would they face their parents who expected their children to succeed?
However, even if they are not expelled from the academy, they will have no place in the academy...
