Wen Changfeng was taken away in disgrace... His plan today was to frame Wen Shengjun.
Unexpectedly, he himself experienced the feeling of being falsely accused!
"He was the one who flipped the table! He said Treasurer Wen was a villain, but we didn't believe it!
"He was so angry that he flipped the table over and said we weren't friends enough!"
When Wen Changfeng heard what his friends said, he was ashamed and angry.
"You guys are talking nonsense!"
Wen Changfeng never expected that his friend who usually called him a brother would stab him like this.
These friends of his not only stabbed him, but also hated him.
What's the point of slandering him for flipping the table? His friends wanted to stab him twice to vent their anger.
Later, the friends were all let go after their "criminal records" were recorded and handed over to Chongwen Academy.
Only Wen Changfeng was detained in the Yamen alone.
"You conspired to frame me!" Wen Changfeng was so angry that his eyes were red, "You, and you! You are all in the same group!"
The yamen official whom he pointed at his nose slapped his hand.
"Who are you referring to? No matter how big or small!
"Who framed you? All the friends you hosted at the banquet can testify that it was you who flipped the table!"
Wen Changfeng was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The shopkeeper was standing aside, calmly arranging his clothes, and said casually: "When you slander others, you feel refreshed. Why don't you think about how it feels to have this matter happen to you?"
"You heard it! He said it all!" Wen Changfeng jumped on the spot anxiously, pointed at the shopkeeper, and shouted at the officials.
The official looked at him suspiciously, "What did you say? Did you hear something?"
"After the calculation, a table of wine and food costs one hundred and eighty taels, and the loss of the huanghuali wine table, furnishings in the room, cups and dishes, and disturbing the guests costs three hundred and eighty taels.
"In addition to the fact that the private room has delayed the use of other guests and affected the reputation of Zhaixinglou, the total compensation to the restaurant is eight hundred and eighty taels.
"In addition, those who stir up trouble and disrupt public security in Kyoto will be fined two hundred taels. After paying the compensation and fine, Master Wen can leave."
The official said seriously as he looked at the charges and compensation payments listed in the main register.
Wen Changfeng's eyes widened even more, and his eyeballs almost fell out.
Why are there only one thousand and eighty taels gone?
He just invited his friends to have a meal and drink some wine... He didn't even ask the singing and dancing beauties!
"Why don't you go grab the money?!" Wen Changfeng roared.
The official looked up at him and said, "What? No money to compensate? Put him in jail and notify Minister Wen to pay the compensation and fines."
"No..." Wen Changfeng was completely panicked.
He knows only too well how much dad loves face.
If daddy is asked to use money to redeem him...will daddy give up on him like he gave up on Wen Shengjun?
No, no, no...
Dad no longer wants Wen Shengjun. If he doesn't want him anymore, who will he expect to continue his family line?
"Do you have the money to pay it off?" the official asked.
"I..." Wen Changfeng was sweating anxiously. He had pocket money. When Aniang was a housekeeper, his monthly pocket money would definitely not be less than a thousand taels in total.
But now, Aunt Bai is the housekeeper!
Aunt Bai only gives him one hundred taels of pocket money every month...and doesn't give him a cent more.
And he was used to spending a lot of money. At the end of each month, he had to rely on his sister to support him... not to mention saving money.
He didn't take out a loan shark... just because he was afraid that his father would break his legs.
Wen Changfeng had no money... He was taken to a prison cell by people from the Yamen.
His throat hurt.
Every second he spent in prison was extremely long.
"Let me out...
"Dad, you must come to save my son...
"It's all Wen Ruyue's fault! She was the one who gave me such a bad idea! Why am I so unlucky... wu wu, A Niang..."
Wen Changfeng cried until his eyes became swollen.
Wen Jing didn't disappoint him. His eldest son was gone.
Wen Jing saves face, but can no longer give up on his second son.
That night, when he received the news, he came with the money angrily.
"This matter has been settled privately. I don't want to hear any more talk about this matter." Wen Jing said to the officials of the yamen and the shopkeeper of Zhaixinglou with both grace and power.
The shopkeeper of Zhaixinglou is a human being, he smiled and handed over his hand, "Of course, there is no way that this statement will spread from this villain.
"But we can't control what those young people say! But their families have been implicated, so I wonder if they will have any grievances?"
The shopkeeper seemed to agree with him.
It seems like he didn’t agree to anything...
Wen Jing's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"Chongwen Academy sent someone to record the roster. Otherwise, Wen Shangshu also took a roster and warned them to prevent them from talking nonsense outside?" the shopkeeper even suggested kindly.
Wen Jing was shocked when he heard this...
"Did Chongwen Academy keep a list? What do they want to do? They don't want it to be made public, right?"
Although he is a minister, is he going against the entire Chongwen Academy? He asked himself if he still had the courage!
There are so many literati in Chongwen Academy, and what they rely on is a sharp tongue, and a pen that fights against the sky, the earth, and the air in between...
Even if he has the courage of an ordinary man, he can't defeat so many literati? !
The shopkeeper shook his head again with a confused expression, "Then I don't know."
Wen Jing was so angry that he felt dizzy because of what happened to his two sons.
When Wen Changfeng was taken out of prison by his father, his father's face turned the color of pig liver...
He originally wanted to defend himself a few words... It was indeed not him who did it! He was wronged!
But looking at his father's face, he didn't dare to say a word.
…
The governor of Jingzhao did not personally come forward to handle Wen Changfeng's matter.
It would be better to leave it to the people below to handle it, and it would look better if he doesn't come forward.
Furthermore, the Star Picking Tower was Song Tao's property... He didn't want to provoke people like Song Tao.
Hearing that Wen Jing honestly paid the money and took his son away... Jingzhao Prefecture Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
He hummed a little tune and returned to the study. He was still chatting as he entered the door.
"As an official in the government, educating your children is more important than anything else! If your son can't teach you well, no matter how great the official is... you never know when he will make trouble for you!
"One day, the basket will be too big for you to clean up, and the whole family will have to play with it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a movement in the study.
Fu Yin was startled, "Who? Who is there?!"
Pang Man looked decadent and raised his head with an unshaven beard, "Dad, what should I do with my son..."
After listening to his son's narration, Governor Pang Xiyuan felt his face hurt.
Before entering, he also laughed at Wen Jing for not raising his son well and letting his son stab Lou Zi outside.
Now, this slap hits him in the face!
He raised his hands sharply.
Pang Man immediately shrank his neck and knelt on the ground.
"Dad, dad, you must save your son! Although the oiran was hired by his son, he didn't know that Wang Rong and Wen Shengjun could quarrel over an oiran!
"Wen Shengjun looks so thin. His legs were disabled before... Who knew he could push down the tall and strong Wang Rong?
"Wang Rong brags about his strength and kung fu every day... It's only on the second floor. Who would have thought that he would fall to his death?
"Furthermore... let the oiran take off his clothes to toast, and feed the people present with food in his mouth... This was all Wang Rong's idea!"
When the matter came to Pang Man's mouth, it turned out that Wang Rong was lustful and shameless, Wen Shengjun was impulsive and irritable, and he was the most innocent one.
Pang Xiyuan stared at his son coldly...
"father……"
"Tell me the truth! Is this all you did? Nothing else? After the two of them quarreled, did you stand aside and get angry?
