Some things, when you speculate in your heart, it is one mood, but when it is truly verified, it is another mood.
For example, Fengtian Prefecture Yin at this moment can be called a mixed bag.
If he wasn't in the hall, if there weren't so many people watching, he really wanted to throw the things on the ground, shake his beard and curse: Damn it, how could someone cheat and cheat on Huiyuan.
As long as you change the person, as long as you change the ranking, it is not that excessive.
The Fang family, are they short-sighted?
After scolding, the case still had to be tried. Fengtian Fuyin trembled with his lips, and it took him a long time to pat down the alarm, "Come here, tell me about the current Huiyuan."
Since Xu Mo's paper collided with Huiyuan's paper, and Huiyuan was Fangyuan of the Fang family, Fang Yuan had to be summoned.
The officer hurriedly summoned him with a knife, and everyone inside and outside the Fengtian Mansion waited with bated breath.
After a long while, the Fang family's carriage arrived, and it turned out to be just a housekeeper.
Butler Fang.
Wearing a gray-white robe, he first glanced at Xu Mo with a smile, and then saluted slowly, "I have seen Mr. Fu Yin. Our young master is unwell and is being consulted by the imperial doctor. Today he is just a clown." To jump off the beam, one young person is enough."
His gift is also worth considering.
Xu Mo didn't kneel because of his status as a judge. Housekeeper Fang didn't kneel, but he was a pure ninth-rank official in front of the prime minister's door - also known as a dog fighting for his power.
With the support of the Fang family, even if he is a housekeeper, he will not kneel down.
This move was not very reasonable, but it was a pure show of force. It not only shocked the powerless Xu Mo, but also threatened the uneasy Fengtian Fuyin.
The little old man in the hall was obviously much silent.
Xu Mo in the hall remained calm, and he did not forget to remind Fengtian Fu Yin, "Sir, you can continue to investigate the case."
With so many pairs of eyes watching, this case must be investigated.
Fengtian Prefecture Yin roused himself, tapped the gavel tree, and said in a deep voice, "Student Xu Mo complained that the test paper was changed, which happened to collide with the Fang Family Huiyuan. Do you have anything to say?"
"Of course I have something to say." Butler Fang came back to his senses, "It's just a clumsy trick like taking our young master's paper and copying it over, just to fool a fool."
Fengtianfu Yin's old face sank slightly. He was also shocked just now. Does that mean he is also a fool?
Butler Fang noticed something was wrong and immediately added, "Now these fools are beating drums and complaining. It is really too much. Please restore the Fang family's innocence."
He is truly a shrewd person who not only puts on the airs of a top aristocratic family, but also does not act arrogantly and make enemies everywhere.
Fengtian Prefect became more and more fearful and asked, "The Huiyuan test paper has been kept in a high cabinet. How could it be copied by other students?"
Butler Fang smiled slightly, "Of course it was spread by our young master."
"As early as ten days ago, the young master wrote this Huiyuan test paper silently in Wenchang Pavilion to meet friends, so as to satisfy the curiosity of several close friends. Someone must have accidentally spread it, and asked this student to pick it up and think he is smart. The earth comes to Fengtian Mansion and jumps around."
There are two keys here.
First: Once the test paper was actually circulated, Xu Mo's dictation turned into copying, and the only thing that could prove himself was gone.
Second: It was only given to a few close friends, which shows that it is still semi-secret, and also explains why such an amazing and brilliant article has not been circulated in Fengjing.
The Fang family is worthy of being a top-notch family. The whole logic is meticulous and closed. They did not sit back and wait for death just because the family was big and powerful. They even arranged a way out before Xu Mo took action.
So it doesn't matter whether Fang Yuan comes or not, one steward Fang is enough.
Is this the ability of a wealthy family?
Jiang Sheng and Wen Zhiyun both looked pale, but Chang Yan frowned and looked calm.
"So, this steward said that the test papers were circulated ten days ago?" Xu Mo grasped the key.
Butler Fang was very wary, "About ten days."
"Whether it's ten days or not is very important." Xu Mo didn't give in.
Butler Fang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Fengtian Prefecture Yin in the hall frowned, but Qi Huai outside the hall was already ecstatic, applauding Brother Xu's intelligence.
"Sir." Xu Mo bowed and saluted, "The student's roll of paper has a date written silently. Please check it, sir."
The Fengtian Prefecture Yin immediately called for his master's help and unfolded the two-meter-long test paper. Unexpectedly, he saw the date of suspension of writing in the lower right corner - the morning of April 11th.
It happened to be the second day after the results were released.
It was also 19 days ago.
Fang Yuan leaked the test paper ten days ago, and also went to Wenchang Pavilion that day to arrange a way out for himself.
But Xu Mo was earlier. He wrote out the papers overnight on the day the results were released, and could not copy them nine days later.
Butler Fang took a deep breath.
Fengtian Fu Yin set his sights on him, wanting to see what other abilities the wealthy family had.
"Sir." Butler Fang was really calm, "This is just a roll of paper. Anyone can write whatever they want."
Literati can usually estimate the time of writing based on the ink marks, but they are all measured in months. With a difference of about ten days, it is really impossible to tell.
Xu Mo can say that he wrote it nineteen days ago.
Butler Fang could also argue otherwise.
Both sides are organized, insist on their own opinions, and are trapped in a dilemma.
There was silence in the lobby of Fengtian Mansion, and you could hear a pin drop.
Qi Huai, who was outside Fengtian Mansion, was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He had seen Xu Mo's test paper with his own eyes before the 19th, and he could testify.
However, the moment he was about to speak, Xu Mo in the hall suddenly said, "Sir, maybe there is a way to tell the difference."
Everyone's eyes turned away.
Qi Huai knew that Xu Mo was trying to protect himself. He was moved and ashamed, and his heart became more and more agitated.
"You said it." Fengtian Fu Yin responded.
Xu Mo pointed to the two-meter-long test paper and said calmly, "Why don't we write this paper silently on the spot and see who is more similar to the original text."
The trial is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days.
The first two sessions are to test the students' memorization of the Four Books and Five Classics, etc., and the last session is to freely write articles.
It takes three days. The first day is usually used to make corrections and add details, and the last two days are used to write the full text. It also has to be two meters long, which shows the huge amount of content.
Xu Mo was filled with great grief and indignation, and it took him a whole night to write it out silently, but he was not sure it was 100% the same.
Why did Fang Yuan write silently? How many points can you write silently?
Butler Fang's expression froze and he looked at Xu Mo, with threats ready to appear in his eyes.
Xu Mo turned a blind eye and stood calmly.
From the moment he decided to come to Fengtian Mansion to beat drums and redress his grievances, no matter how powerful the Fang family was, it could not be a reason for him to retreat.
Butler Fang's expression turned cold.
The Fengtian Prefect in the hall seemed to be hesitating whether to throw a shock or not, and agreed to Xu Mo's request.
Steward Fang shouted loudly, "So, if you just find someone who memorizes the No. 1 paper, and then prepares a silent draft in advance, you can sue the No. 1 person for stealing his paper?"
Combined with the ten days deliberately set aside by the Fang family, it is not impossible.
The Jingtang tree in Fengtian Fuyin's hand froze in place, unable to fall down.
The situation reached a deadlock again.
Qi Huai couldn't wait to raise his legs, wanting to go in and prove to Xu Mo.
However, he was held back by Chang Yan.
"Don't go." The twelve-year-old boy said quietly, "The Fang family will find out that you have a close relationship with your eldest brother, and there is a possibility of perjury."
If you really go in, it will just be a free ride with the Qi family.
"Then what should we do? Let the two parties remain in a stalemate like this?" Qi Huai was anxious.
Chang Yan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Because Xu Mo, who was standing in the lobby of Fengtian Mansion, had already said, "Sir, since both parties are extremely confused, it is better to take out the original examination paper and ask several old gentlemen from the Gongyuan Institute to jointly identify the handwriting on the original paper. , Who does it belong to!"
Handwriting can never be faked.
