Wang Zhizhou held the government records in his hand, patted it on the table, looked at his good-for-nothing son, and finally set his sights on Wu Jin.
"Wu Jin, you have acquiesced in your feelings for Mo Lingfeng, so I have a few words that I have to say."
Wu Jin looked at him and saw that he was full of intrigues and filth. His shadow cast on the ground, like a sharp knife, catching him.
Wang Zhizhou slapped the government records on the table and looked at Zhifu Cheng with a cold look: "Brother Taishan, you are still a close friend of Envoy Mo Jiedu, but you are deaf and blind, and you want to help such a sinister person!"
Magistrate Cheng frowned: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Wang Zhizhou shouted: "Let me ask you, how old was Mo Lingfeng in the 22nd year of Yuanzhang!"
Magistrate Cheng's ears buzzed and he replied: "Ten years old."
"Exactly ten years old!" Wang Zhizhou's gaze was like a sharp arrow, directed at Wu Jin, "Since you have this intention, Yuan Zhang must not have been born twenty-two years ago. How old was Mo Lingfeng at that time? Ten years old was not enough !”
He shouted to Wu Jin: "Wenhui just now, you are familiar with the law, you should also know that in "Shangyuan Tiao Fa Shi Lei", it is a crime for a woman under the age of ten to commit adultery even if she is in peace, but the woman's family will sue her and she will be sentenced to a third degree. A thousand miles is worthy of being far away from a bad state; a person who has not yet become an adulterer is worthy of five hundred miles; a broken person is worthy of being hanged!"
Cheng Ting was about to open his mouth to defend Wu Jin, but he didn't know how to do so.
He hurriedly looked at his father, only to see that his father was also frowning deeply. He never expected that Wang Zhizhou would attack from here.
Mo Lingfeng was precocious and intelligent, and he and Mo Qianlan were carved out of the same mold. If they didn't mention it deliberately, they would have almost forgotten that Mo Lingfeng, who roamed the fortress, was only fourteen years old this year.
Wang Jinghua was so happy that he almost danced.
Wang Zhizhou stood up, walked to Wu Jin, and pressed him step by step: "You know what you are doing, you are sanctimonious, and you are plotting against a young girl! There is no one in the Mo family to complain. Mo Lingfeng is young and ignorant. Magistrate Cheng was deceived by you. I can't arrest you, but I can’t tolerate pigs and dogs like you!”
He turned to look at Mi Yingzong: "Dean Mi, if we continue to accept such hypocritical and rebellious people in the Xuezong, it will harm the virtue of a saint!"
He turned around, looked at Magistrate Cheng and said, "Prefect Cheng can continue to be blind, but as long as I, Wang, will never stamp the state seal on Wu Jin's examination ticket!"
Wu Jin stood in the scalding wind, burning his body as if in flames, but inside was cold and frosty. His feet felt like stepping on floating clouds, heaving up and down, standing unsteadily, and almost losing his mind.
This was the real secret in his heart - Mo Lingfeng's youth was his sin.
When he first discovered it, he was frightened, so he suppressed it in his heart. Once he touched it, he had to constantly reflect on himself.
He once reflected on himself in his daily records, and once wrote "don't look at anything inappropriate" in Jiu Si Xuan. He thought about punishing himself for his mistakes, and because he knew it well, his crime was increased.
He was sweating profusely, and Cheng Ting looked at his face and suddenly remembered something - when he first learned that Xu Huiran had made an engagement, he stayed in Jiusixuan due to drunkenness. He remembered that Wu Jin punished himself all night and said to him Three words passed.
"I'm guilty."
At that time, he didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Shiheng to come. I'm afraid he was guilty of the same crime.
Wang Zhizhou felt happy - this was how to eradicate the root cause. Even if Wu Jin exercised great restraint and did not overstep the mark, he would still nail him to death on this crime.
Magistrate Cheng clutched the tea cup tightly and said to Wang Zhizhou: "We were the ones talking from beginning to end, but Wu Jin never said a word. Even the prisoner must be allowed to defend himself."
Wang Zhizhou sneered and said: "I have said everything. If you ask him again, he will naturally quibble. But since you want to save him, then I will follow your wishes."
He stretched out his hand to push Wu Jin towards the saint's portrait, pinched his chin, and forced him to raise his head: "Wu Jin, look into the saint's eyes and answer, is there any hidden emotion in your poem?"
"If not, then when my daughter gets married in the future, she will not have anything to do with you. Otherwise, even if you are in high school, I will still have to write a memorial to stand in front of His Majesty, you are such a despicable villain."
Everyone in the courtyard focused their attention on Wu Jin.
Wu Jin looked at the portrait. The saint on it was calm and solemn, standing with his hands folded, and wrote: "The virtues of heaven and earth, the Tao of ancient and modern times, the six classics have been deleted, and they will be immortalized forever."
He spoke: "Yes."
A single word was like a broken body, broken bones, and broken jade. Shame and hesitation were wiped away together, but my heart was determined.
Everything outside of me collapsed one after another, but my heart was very hard, as solid as a rock, and would not break easily.
He retreated to Mi Yingzong, bowed his head, bowed to Magistrate Cheng and thanked him, and then walked out.
Cheng Ting glared at Wang Jinghua and followed him with long strides. But Wang Jinghua, who wanted to see Wu Jin's joke, also walked away, squeezing out side by side with Cheng Ting.
Wu Jin pushed open the second door and walked towards a world with an uncertain future. Cheng Ting and Wang Jinghua worked together to follow him and got stuck in the door frame together.
Then Cheng Ting pushed his shoulder forward hard, knocking Wang Jinghua directly. Before Wang Jinghua could get up, he stepped forward and stepped on Wang Jinghua's palm, causing Wang Jinghua to curse. stand up.
"Smelly--"
After shouting just one word, the big yellow dog came after hearing the sound and hit his thigh with a "clang" sound. Wang Jinghua immediately let out a scream like a slaughtering pig. In the midst of this scream, Cheng Ting had already rushed out behind Wu Jin. Study in the state.
The sun was shining brightly outside, which was dazzling. The students were still gathered outside the door in twos and threes waiting. At this time, seeing Wu Jin with his hands free, they all made assumptions. The students of Tunan Academy started booing in a strange way on the spot.
"What am I talking about? What a gentleman. He is just a scheming villain. He can't look down on ordinary high-ranking people. He is determined to climb the high branches of the Mo family."
"This is to get married. It's all about money, and I don't even want to lose face."
"The Mo family has no heirs. As long as we deceive Miss Mo and go to Beijing to take the exam, we will spend our whole lives lying around."
"It sounds like he is Jieyuan, but who knows if he has real talent and learning? Maybe Qiuwei is also a fake, and he is Mo Jiedushi."
When Cheng Ting heard this, he jumped up to Sun Jing who said Qiu Wei was fake, and slapped Sun Jing's face with a folding fan that he brought with him, making a crisp "pop" sound.
With a red mark on his face, Sun Jing saw Cheng Ting coming at him menacingly. He knew Cheng Ting was a reckless man and had a father who was a prefect, so he couldn't argue with him. He immediately said "ouch" and started to leave with his face covered.
However, before he could leave, Cheng Ting grabbed the hem of his clothes with one hand and pushed him to a big elm tree. He raised his hand and slapped him on the mouth: "Qiu Wei, you dare to arrange it, I'll slap him." Damn your mouth!"
He raised his hand and punched Sun Jing in the abdomen again, causing Sun Jing's gallbladder to well up.
The students from Tunan Academy who had just followed him in the conversation were so frightened that their legs and feet became weak when they saw his fierce fighting style. They could not escape. Two more students who were close friends with Sun Jing stepped forward to start a fight, but Cheng Ting gave Cheng Ting an elbow. I was shocked.
