Chapter 21: Guilty
Ever since Jiang Dongyu won the first place in the college by handing in the calligraphy and painting exam very quickly, he became famous for a while. Only then did the students of Shuiyang College know that their college not only had the top scorer in martial arts but also the top scorer in literature. Moreover, Jiang Dongyu
His appearance is definitely worthy of the word handsome, and his title as the most handsome man in Peach Blossom Town is by no means unearned. Coupled with Jiang Dongyu's unique white hair, he has many suitors in the academy.
"You go first, I'll find the teacher to make up some extra lessons." Jiang Dongyu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
"Oh." Su Qingrou nodded absentmindedly. After leaving the music department, she shook her head violently, "Why is a man so good-looking?"
Liu Qingyan tapped the table with her fingers gently and joked: "It seems that your good skin has caused you to harm many young girls from good families."
Jiang Dongyu smiled and said nothing. After a while, he finally found the spare strings and began to change them. While changing them, he suddenly said: "I am better at harming women from good families like Teacher."
Hearing this, Liu Qingyan's face turned red and she grabbed Jiang Dongyu's collar, "Who do you think is a woman?"
"If you don't let go, I will call you molestation." Ever since Jiang Dongyu understood the meaning of the Great Cold, he has always been wearing thin clothes. After Liu Qingyan pulled him like this, he suddenly lost a lot of clothes.
"You little hooligan." Liu Qingyan snorted softly and let go of Jiang Dongyu's collar.
"The first time we met, he threw himself into my arms and pulled me into the attic. The second time we met, he pulled my clothes. The gangster said I or you?" Jiang Dongyu changed the strings of the guqin and waved it casually.
Suddenly there was a burst of music.
Liu Qingyan couldn't help but feel angry. What do you mean by throwing yourself into my arms, pulling you into the attic, and pulling your clothes? Looking at Jiang Dongyu's seemingly innocent face, Liu Qingyan reached out and pulled her over again. And what happened to Jiang Dongyu this time?
He would let her succeed again, but if he turned sideways slightly, he would already be five meters away.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at it. It happened back then. You accompanied me to Canmeng Pavilion to compete for the rankings. I will ensure that you pass the music exam." Liu Qingyan clapped her hands and stopped embarrassing Jiang Dongyu.
"This condition is not equal. Even if you don't let me pass it, I can pass it. It's just an exam, it doesn't matter." Jiang Dongyu has this confidence. Even if he can't sing a song now, one year is enough.
"If I don't let you pass, you won't be able to pass." Liu Qingyan said coldly.
"You, the teacher, are really unreasonable. One moment you will open the back door for me, and the next moment you want to abuse your power to make things difficult for me. No wonder there is no teacher in the college. You are really not a good teacher." Jiang Dongyu has been missing his teacher for a year.
, I wonder what is going on in Taohua Town, Uncle De, Sir, Heng Hu, and... Han Mingsheng, Li Tianyi, thinking of this, Jiang Dongyu's body inadvertently showed a chill.
"I'm teasing you, forget it if you don't want to." Liu Qingyan took a step back. The look in Jiang Dongyu's eyes just now made her very uncomfortable.
Jiang Dongyu knew that she had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain anything to her, so he asked: "Why do you have to compete for that list?"
"For a collection of books, only those in the Talented and Beautiful Class will have the opportunity to borrow the books in Canmeng Pavilion." Liu Qingyan was obviously in a low mood.
"There are many people who are more knowledgeable than me. If you don't go to the calligraphy and painting teacher, why go to me?" Jiang Dongyu was very puzzled.
"This is a list of talented people and beautiful women, not a teahouse for the elderly. There are strict age restrictions. People over the age of twenty-five cannot compete for the list. Why should I bother looking for the top scholar in front of me?
"
"So you knew me from the beginning." Jiang Dongyu suddenly realized.
"I saw it at Dean Wang's by chance. Speaking of which, when I saw your portrait at that time, Dean Wang was complaining about your portrait." Liu Qingyan replied.
"Heh." Jiang Dongyu sneered, "If I had known that the dean of Shuiyang College was so disrespectful and bullying the younger generation, I would not have come to Shuiyang in the first place."
"Dean Wang always treats people very well." Liu Qingyan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Dongyu with a wave of his hand. Naturally, the head of a hospital in the empire is not a bad person, but if he is not a bad person, he must be a good person, Wang Zhongyong
Jiang Dongyu believed in being kind to others, but just because he won his granddaughter's title of No. 1 Scholar based on his strength, he deliberately made things difficult for him. No matter how much he loved Jiang Moyu and how much he contributed to the academy, Jiang Dongyu
Generally speaking, Wang Zhongyong is a villain and does not deserve his respect.
The conversation ended unhappily. Jiang Dongyu didn't want to compete for the list of talented and beautiful women. It was meaningless to him. He never thought that he was a good person and wanted to help people in the world. He and Liu Qingyan were not familiar with each other.
.
When Jiang Dongyu returned to his residence, a guest came to the house. Ye Feng, his examiner during the town examination, was also dressed in white and had a folding fan. He had a graceful demeanor, but he looked at Jiang Dongyu with a very complicated look.
Su Qingrou served them two cups of tea and then left the room sensibly.
"A very beautiful woman." Ye Feng said.
"That's true." Jiang Dongyu had already guessed the purpose of Ye Feng's visit the moment he saw him.
"No wonder you killed the soldiers of my city lord's palace for her. In fact, you have been found to be the most suspected. But because Mr. Wang guaranteed that you don't know martial arts, the matter has been waiting for observation. When you took action two days ago, it was arrested
After Jiang Nan punched him, the matter was finally concluded." Ye Feng explained that even if he knew Jiang Dongyu was the murderer, it would be difficult for him to have a bad feeling towards Jiang Dongyu.
Wang Zhongyong actually vouched for me? Jiang Dongyu was a little surprised. Wang Zhongyong used his power to suppress him and later lost face. Wang Zhongyong knew that he had become mortal. He didn't expect that when the city lord's palace investigated him, Wang Zhongyong would vouch for it.
Let him go. If it hadn't been spread among the people in the academy that Jiang Dongyu had knocked Luo Jiangnan unconscious with one punch, then the City Lord's Mansion still wouldn't have come.
"Then you came here this time to catch me?" Jiang Dongyu asked.
"Anyway, you and your female companion must go to the City Lord's Mansion with me. Because it's you, I came in person and didn't alert others in the academy. Otherwise, people from the adjudication team would come and handcuff you.
Leaving the academy will have too great an impact. Even if you are found not guilty afterward, it will still cast a shadow."
"Do you think I can come back after I went to the City Lord's Mansion this time?" Jiang Dongyu sneered. Liu Changshu is a member of the Liu family, the three major martial arts families in Wuxing City. If Ye Feng really doesn't want to arrest him, he can completely drop the matter. Now that he is here,
How could it be possible without giving the Liu family an explanation?
"My city lord's palace is fair and honest! If you and your female companion are not guilty, then I will definitely protect you." Ye Feng said angrily.
"I know you were once Mr.'s student. I don't doubt what you said. I just think you are powerless. Let's go." Jiang Dongyu stood up and held Su Qingrou's hand, which was very cold.
Ye Feng panted slightly. He understood that Jiang Dongyu was irritating him, but this really annoyed him. He had never been despised by anyone before.
This was Jiang Dongyu's first visit to the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't expect that he was here as a criminal. Jiang Dongyu came to a huge hall. There were already more than ten people here, and there was one person Jiang Dongyu knew among them.
It’s Wang Zhongyong, president of Shuiyang College.
Jiang Dongyu sneered, what a huge formation.
"Jiang Dongyu, do you know your guilt?" one of the middle-aged men asked.
Ye Fenghua, who was at the end, frowned. Even if he was accused, it would not be anyone else's turn. Liu family, you are really presumptuous.
"Who are you to question me about my crime?" Jiang Dongyu laughed loudly, "Liu Changshu abused his power, took advantage of my treasures, and dispatched the city guards to arrest me. If I killed him, what crime would I have committed?"
"Bold, Liu Changshu is an official of the imperial court. After his death, you framed him innocently. City Lord, this person should be executed immediately." The middle-aged man said loudly.
"So you are not the city lord. You are so arrogant. I thought you had the final say in Wuxing City." Jiang Dongyu chuckled. Of course he knew that the middle-aged man was not the city lord. He had been in Wuxing City for a year, so how could he not know about the city lord?
portrait.
Ye Fenghua waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and said: "Jiang Dongyu, as a scholar, you were awarded the title of Young Master, and you have a great future. Why did you massacre my Wuxing City soldiers in the street? Tell me about it.
Where does the resentment come from? If you are not guilty, the Lord of this city will definitely clear your name."
"City Lord." The middle-aged man interrupted.
"Liu Fuqing, please pay attention to your identity. Do I, the city lord, still need to listen to your command when interrogating others?"
"Liu doesn't dare. It's just that his own son lost his life. When he saw the murderer, he couldn't calm down." The middle-aged man bowed slightly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
"Repay my innocence? Liu Changshu is from the City Lord's Mansion, and you, the City Lord, will try me? It's like a nest of thieves. You can convict me if you want. I want to face the saint." As soon as Jiang Dongyu said this, even Ye Fenghua's expression changed.
No good, this guy is too arrogant.
Wang Zhongyong couldn't help but shook his head, why can't you understand the situation?
"It is impossible to meet the saint. Although you are the number one scholar in literary studies, with the changes in the national examination system, there will be the number one scholar in literary studies every year. You are just the first one, so you are special. You are just named Mr. Xiao. My father is very happy.
Busy, these little things are not worthy of his personal handling. Since you think Uncle Ye can't interrogate you, what about me?" A young man in a yellow robe walked out of the crowd. This person had not been in front of the stage before.
It attracts attention and is very low-key. When he came out at this time, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
"Who are you?" Jiang Dongyu asked. He also didn't expect that there was a prince in the city lord's palace.
"I am your majesty's sixth son. My name is Chu Qingliu. Is it okay for me to interrogate you? Neither the City Lord's Mansion nor the Liu family will affect my trial of you. At the same time, this is the first time we have met. There is no such thing as
Private grudges can be treated fairly." Chu Qingliu's words were very kind, even a little polite. Given his status, even Jiang Dongyu had no reason to refuse and could only nod.
At that moment, Jiang Dongyu told the whole story. Although the stored magic weapon was valuable, it was not surprising for a prince.
Chu Qingliu listened very seriously and did not mention anything about storing magic weapons. After Jiang Dongyu finished narrating, he said: "According to what you said, if what you said is true, this man named Liu Changshu is indeed guilty.
You deserve to die."
Hearing this, Liu Fuqing's face turned ugly. His son was told to his face that he deserved death, but the person who spoke was someone he could never afford to offend.
"But he has been killed, and we can no longer hold him responsible. Although the person you killed deserves to die, you still killed a court official. You don't have that right. This is a headache. After all,
How should I deal with you?" Chu Qingliu's words undoubtedly acquiesced that Jiang Dongyu's words were true. No one present said they wanted to investigate the authenticity, not even Liu Fuqing. He knew best what Liu Changshu's virtues were.
.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. How about I sentence you to one year in prison?" Chu Qingliu asked. Such a punishment can be said to be very light. As Chu Qingliu said, even if Liu Changshu deserves death, he can still be punished.
After all, he had violated the laws of the empire by killing a court official. Even if he had fame, he would still be punished. Otherwise, why would he need laws?
