An old man, holding a drumstick in front of everyone, headed towards the Chenqing drum. This is usually a family member or someone who knows the case.

This scene made people look at it, for some reason, and they felt a little sad.

"Grandfather..." Lin Hongtu moved the corner of his mouth, and as soon as he moved his feet, his hands gently fell on his shoulders and patted him.

"Fifth brother, look at it, remember, it's not easy to be the head of the family."

"Yes." Lin Hongtu focused heavily.

Someone beat the drum, and the people from the Ministry of Justice immediately came out to inquire about the situation. When they learned that they were the candidate's family, they immediately took it in. The case was tried overnight last night. They probably knew what was going on. The candidate was wronged.

Lord Shangshu just came back from the palace and had instructions. Even if the candidate's family didn't come, he would go and invite him.

The old man raised his head and raised his chest. The yamen runners led by him couldn't help but lower his head and bent down slightly. The old man was so powerful that he might as well give in more than his Lord Shangshu. This old man just said that he was the grandfather of the candidate.

He also heard about the Lin family. This old man was also a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty, no wonder he still had the power of the official.

When Geng Qiushu came back, he went to court directly. Before he sat down, he heard the drum sound and his heart kept thudding. Don’t have any trouble anymore. Hearing that it was Chen Qinggu, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Caomin Lin Hengchong pays homage to the Lord!"

Lin Heng rushed in, and the sound was like a bell. He lifted the corner of his robe and knelt in the lobby. This shout made the officials present unable to help but feel a little solemn.

According to the rules, Lin Hengchong explained his identity and why he beat the drum to the hall and then explained in detail one by one.

"According to the rules of the criminal hall of this dynasty, there will be someone to be heard by the family involved in the case. Mr. Lin invites him to see the seat."

I'm so kind to be polite. Generally, the families who come to the trial stand by, and everyone knows this, so...

The grandson was wronged, so it would be fine if he was wronged. This was the spring examination every three years, so it was delayed. The exam would take three years later.

Amid the mighty sound, the awkward sound, and the fraud case was tried again.

Lin Hongxiu was taken to the court again and stayed in the Ministry of Justice for a night, and he looked more and more haggard. When he saw Lin Hengchong, he finally couldn't help but shed tears.

With a plop, he knelt down at Lin Heng. Without saying a word, he just kowtowed. With this sound, the people watching at the door of the lobby heard the movement.

"Fourth Brother!" Lin Hongtu's eyes were red. Why did it become like this? On weekdays, the fourth brother is the one who pays the most attention to appearance among the brothers.

Lin Shuangyu looked quietly, comforted Lin Hongtu gently, and did not speak.

"Grandfather, grandson is unfilial, which makes you worried. Grandfather, grandson swore to the ancestors of the Lin family that grandson did not cheat, did not lose the Lin family's face, and did not shame the Lin family!"

When Lin Hongxiu saw his relatives, he finally expressed his grievances. His words made everyone present unable to help but lower their heads. This...

Those who watch outside also feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, good boy, grandfather knows, grandfather believes in you, and also believes that our national laws in Daxia will give you justice." Lin Hengchong came from the officialdom, and his words were clearly for everyone present in the Ministry of Justice.

This Ministry of Justice is a place with cross-beams and a national law. Above the yamen gate beams, a mirror hanging high. If the people cannot be justified here, how can justice be found in this great Xia?

Geng Qiushu's face suddenly became darker and he was a little sarcastic. The Lin family's grandparents and grandchildren came to see that their faces were completely lost in the justice department.

The trial was held again, and Lin Hongxiu's back was straightened. He was already a little clever. He was in the cell last night and probably knew that the so-called physical evidence today should not be considered physical evidence, otherwise, there would be no need to wait until the trial was held the next day. Since there is no evidence, he cannot be convicted.

Moreover, he knew that he had not cheated, although he still didn't know what was going on.

Geng Qiushu went to the palace and brought an imperial edict, which had already been taken to the examination room. The spring examination for the applicants who reported this time was over.

Since this case started from him, he was indispensable. The minor official is dead. Regarding the minor official's life experience, it is another case. It has nothing to do with fraud, but it is a case of accountability.

Geng Qiushu also wanted to learn about the fraud case early because the emperor was still waiting, waiting for him to find out the matter of the minor official, and the closing time was when the spring examination ended again.

Soon, the candidate who reported it was brought to the court of the Ministry of Justice, his face turned pale because his spring examination was over.

The candidate is named Meng Hao, who is the nephew of Meng Huanzhi, a doctor at the Ministry of Justice. He is a native of Kyoto. He has a somewhat axieous personality and is just a stubborn person, so he reported the exam room.

When Meng Hao saw Lin Hongxiu, he spat, and his words were exactly the same as when he was in the exam room.

From seeing the minor official to what the minor official did, they all explained them one by one.

After listening, Geng Qiushu's brain jumped straight, and his forehead burst out, and he said loudly to the other party: "So, you did see that the little official threw a piece of paper for Lin Hongxiu, right?"

"Yes!" He was filled with righteous indignation, and now he was still suffering and revenge, because he was implicated and failed the spring exam.

"That's all?"

"Sir, isn't this enough? If it weren't for fraud, why did the minor official throw paper balls for him?"

Taking a deep breath, Geng Qiushu tried to calm himself down, "In other words, you didn't see Lin Hongxiu picking up the paper ball, nor did you see him opening it?"

What happened in the exam room? Mo Xiang and King Jing were both here, so why didn’t you ask carefully? Suddenly, he thought of a key point, that is, the little official swallowed the paper ball.

It seems that from the examination room to the Ministry of Justice, the minor official said nothing, and only made such a move.

If someone reported the situation at that time and the little official was rushing to swallow the paper ball, I'm afraid that the people present would indeed ignore many details and preconceived the idea that the candidates were cheating.

...The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there were too many problems here, but for a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

"Sir, although he didn't open it, Xiaosheng could see clearly. He pushed it with his feet. Humph, he just didn't have time. It was Xiaosheng's report in time. Sir, such a humiliating scum, should be severely punished according to law to serve as a warning to others and give justice to scholars all over the world."

I was so passionate about what I said, I almost stood up and replied.

"Have you ever said these words in the exam room?"

If you say that, the prime minister and the others should be able to see the paper ball.

"The examiner did not ask the young actor..." It seemed that he asked what these many things were doing. Isn't the evidence all here? Just look at it and you will know.

"Sir, the paper ball is both evidence, and the students also want to see what it is written and who it is. They want to frame the students like this! Please give the students justice."

Lin Hongxiu was in trouble and kowtowed, and he felt a little angry, feeling wronged.

Evidence, what kind of evidence, a piece of paper full of ink dots? The officials of the Ministry of Justice present all lowered their heads.

"Meng Hao, you may be sure that no one has ever touched the paper ball from the time the paper ball was thrown into Lin Hongxiu's examination room, and then when you reported it, until you saw that the paper ball was taken away by the people in the examination room?"

This sentence is the key to asking.

"Yes! The young actor saw it really."

Hearing this, the old man closed his eyes slightly and exhaled. The case is settled.

Geng Qiushu was really speechless now. He held the gavel and didn't know how to fall down. He could only tell the truth, "Since that's the case, the physical evidence is not valid. As for the human evidence..."

"Sir, why is the physical evidence not valid?" Meng Hao stopped doing it and was anxious.

Geng Qiushu was too lazy to say it, so he waved his hand and asked someone to take him down. Meng Hao had such qualifications... How could he be admitted to the juren and participated in the spring exam? Compared with Lin Hongxiu, if Meng Hao cheated, it would probably make people believe it.

Meng Hao wanted to say something, but he had been taken down by suppression. He explained with kindness that the so-called physical evidence had no word on it.

Now, Meng Hao was stunned and didn't believe it, muttering that it was impossible.

But no one had time to pay attention to him, Meng Huanzhi was present, his face had long turned black, and he didn't know how many words he had cursed in his heart.

"Lin Hongxiu, I asked you, do you know that little official?" These words were all done in a formality.

Lin Hongxiu shook his head blankly, "The student doesn't know him, let alone when he threw the paper ball into it, and why he did this."

"As long as you can be sure, you really don't know him, you will sign and seal the case. If there is no evidence, it will not be established. You can go home, but you can't refer to this spring exam again. Because the person involved in this case is strange in his testimony and behavior, it is still to be investigated in detail. Therefore, before the case is closed, you must stay in Kyoto and arrive as soon as possible. After the case is finalized, you will be given a word."

This is a very tactful statement, just say that you are wronged and can go back, but there is still insider information in the case that needs to be verified.

It's a very official statement, but that's all.

"Students did not cheat, and the rules of the spring examination room cannot be made an exception just because the students are alone. Everything is the luck of the students. I hope the court will find out as soon as possible and give the students justice. The students have nothing else to ask for."

It means that he only has one statement, that is, tell everyone that he has not cheated and was wronged.

What else can Geng Qiushu say? In front of so many people outside, he only felt that the Criminal Department had dealt with such a frustrating case for the first time. If you investigate, you must find out the truth and see who played this drama and what you were going to do.

Another awesome sound, the sensational fraud case ended or ended. The whole case seemed to have completely deviated from the center of gravity, not whether the candidate cheated, but the minor official who committed suicide.

Whether he intentionally wronged the candidate or the other side is still to be verified. If he is wronged, why should he do this? Should he be ordered by someone or have a grudge against the candidate, he will see how the Ministry of Justice investigates it.

No matter what, one thing that can be confirmed is that 99% of the candidate Lin Hongxiu, who was reported for fraud, were wronged.

When the grandfather helped each other out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, the onlookers made a compromise and couldn't even feel anything.

"Grandfather, Fourth Brother! Let's go home." Lin Hongtu had already stepped forward and stood on the other side of the old man and supported him.

The old man felt even more complicated with his two grandsons, one left and one right. Today, he felt very relieved that Xiao Si, who didn't pay much attention to it, performed very well.

In the past, he thought about it and was biased. If there was no child, there would be no child.

"Fourth brother, go home." Lin Shuangyu looked at the other party and smiled as usual.

For the first time, Lin Hongxiu understood the meaning of home, nodded with tears in his eyes, holding the old man's hands tightened and tightened, "I worry my fifth brother and eldest sister."

"Silly kid, family, what stupid things are you saying? Let's go home, Chen Chang, have pomelo leaf water prepared in the house?"

Lin Hengchong was old and could not stand such a scene. His voice was deliberately louder and concealed it.

"Yes, yes, all of them have been prepared. The Fourth Young Master will go back and take a good shower to get out of bad luck. The Fourth Young Master is still young. In three years, we will take the exam again. Then one of them will show them in high school."

Since I heard the news yesterday, Chen Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief and his voice became louder, not afraid of others hearing it.

The onlookers made a move, and when they saw the family getting on the carriage, they began to whisper and talk. What's the matter?

This excitement was a bit terrible.

"Big girl, today, Luo family's banquet..." Grandson's affairs were resolved, and a stone finally fell in his heart. The old man remembered that there seemed to be something going on today. A few days ago, the post from the Luo family came to the Luo family. It seemed that the fourth lady of the Luo family gave today's wedding ceremony.

Suddenly I remembered this matter. I was probably in a hurry to go there now. The girl was still preparing. Besides, in addition to this matter, the girl went to the house of a girl, and someone would be advised to tell her.
