Zheng Yangxing said: "Yao Jishi, I and a few others naturally believe you, but I'm afraid most people in the government and the public do not believe you, so you have to try to defend yourself."

Yao Zongwen had a sullen face and remained silent. He now regrets that he rushed to defend himself in front of Zhang Wenda and others, saying that it was Zhang Yuan who pushed him into the water. Zhang Wenda and others obviously did not believe it. Instead, they thought that he was full of contempt for repaying kindness with hatred. At that time,

The only feasible way is to pretend to be unconscious and say some intermittent words while in coma to expose Zhang Yuan's sinister intentions. Only in this way can Zhang Wenda and others suspect Zhang Yuan. However, things happened in a hurry at that time and he was in a hurry.

I was so angry that I really couldn't think about that much. I was just anxious to defend myself and make false accusations, but I fell deeper and deeper into Zhang Yuan's trap——

Thinking of this, the sweat on Yao Zongwen's forehead became more intense. Zhang Yuan came up with such a vicious plan in a short period of time and implemented it quickly. Such decisiveness is really chilling.

Hu Shixiang, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, asked: "Brother Yao, since it was Zhang Yuan who pushed you into the water, and people were coming and going in West Chang'an Street at that time, how could there be no one who saw the truth?"

Yao Zongwen said: "At that time, Zhang Yuan looked eastward with a look of surprise, attracting the attention of the onlookers at the bridge, and then he started to pull me away. I hate that my two stupid servants actually said no when asked by Zhang Butang.

See it clearly, but you don’t know how to protect your master regardless of whether you see it clearly or not, alas!”

Hu Shixiang also knew that this matter was difficult to explain. Even if passers-by saw Zhang Yuan dragging Yao Zongwen into the river, they did not come forward to testify at the scene, and they could not testify afterwards. People would only think that Yao Zongwen fabricated it to frame Zhang Yuan.

The matter was no longer clear, so he sighed and said, "Brother Yao is also a little impatient. Zhang Yuan's servant injured someone. It is useless for Brother Yao to accuse Zhang Yuan in person. It is enough to scare the snake and get bitten by the snake."

Yao Zongwen frowned and said nothing, admitting in his heart that he was impatient. Zhang Yuan's victory in the examination fraud case made him very angry. Today at the Beiqiao Bridge of Yuhe River, he discovered that the car that shocked him on Dengshi Street that day was actually Zhang Yuan's car.

The servant couldn't help but wanted to refute Zhang Yuan's face in front of Guo Hui, Zhou Yanru and other Ci Lin officials. After a confrontation, Zhang Yuan's face was not damaged at all, but he was in a state of embarrassment.

If he can't be redeemed, then his career as a public official is over. You don't have to pinch your fingers to foresee that there will be many memorials to impeach him, and the case of his cousin Yao Fu will be reopened. The Donglin Party members have been waiting for this.

What an opportunity——

The flame of the glazed lamp on the table was dim and the room was quiet, but everyone's mood was extremely uneasy.

Yao Zongwen said: "Zhang Yuan is cunning. I underestimated the enemy and was hasty. But the matter has come to this, how should we remedy it?"

Liu Tingyuan, the supervisory censor of Shaanxi Province, said: "Brother Yao will take a break for a few days and wait and see how the situation changes before making a decision. You can't make a wrong move now. You must make a decision before taking action. Otherwise, we, the three parties, will use Li Sancai's case to seize the opportunity."

The advantage over Donglin gained by the Xiong Tingbi case will be greatly damaged."

Hu Shixiang shook his head and said: "This Zhang Yuan is simply the nemesis of our Zhejiang Party. He is the grandson of Zhang Rulin and the sister-in-law of Zhou Zuo of Shang Dynasty, but he went to Donglin's side to deal with us. Zhang Yuan alone is nothing, no matter what

Whether he is the number one scholar or Hanlin, the key is the complicated relationships behind him. Originally, Shang Zhouzuo, as Zuo Qiandu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was a cadre of our Zhejiang Party, and he also contributed to the Xiong Yanbi case, but now he is with us

Alienated.”

"Nemesis?" Zheng Yangxing said disapprovingly: "A new Hanlin with no foundation dares to be called a nemesis. Liu Yushi is too long and other people's ambitions have destroyed his own prestige. Wind opinions are guided by others. Yao Gai has already made it clear.

It was Zhang Yuan who pushed him into the trap. How could he admit it just because he was dumb? I will let my subordinates spread the truth everywhere. Zhang Yuan's pretentiousness is full of flaws, and smart people will see through it - and Mr. Yao, you,

If you are in good health, you should go to Liu Ke Gallery as usual tomorrow for duty, and you must not give in to Zhang Yuan."
