Volume 1 Chapter 76 The Evidence Is Missing

Chengtian Temple is not far from the government yamen. If you run faster, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to make a round trip. When Li Yuezhong gave the order, he used the word "speed" again, so his trusted yamen runners naturally did not dare to neglect them.

This search room is not rare for the yamen runners. They have rich experience in this area. In addition, the target of the search is a black painted box that is one foot square, which makes it easier to search.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the trusted yamen run back to the lobby, knelt on one knee, bowed and said aloud: "Report, sir, the young man carefully searched Zhao Yan's residence, but did not find any black painted box that was one foot square."

"Ah!" Before Li Yuezhong could speak, Chen Wenjie couldn't help but exclaim: "Impossible, have you searched under the bed?"

Li Yuezhong frowned when he heard this, but for the sake of Chen's face, he did not get angry.

This guy said the same thing, but he ran over but found nothing. It was embarrassing!

You are not embarrassed yet, I will let you lose enough.

He then asked Chen Wenjie: "Have you searched carefully under the bed?"

The yamen runner hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, we have carefully searched the yamen runners not only under the bed, on the top of the bed, on the roof beam, under the wardrobe, on the top of the wardrobe, on the study room, and even the yamen runners' duty room outside."

Li Yuezhong nodded and waved: "Go down."

Immediately afterwards, he snorted coldly at Chen Wenjie, and then asked slowly: "Chen Wenjie, what else do you have to say?"

Chen Wenjie didn't pay attention to his embarrassing problem now. His mind was full of problems with the box of silver.

He really couldn't figure out why that box of silver disappeared!

He bribed all the yamen runners on duty around Zhao Yan's residence. If Zhao Yan transferred the money, he would not have known why the money disappeared?

At this moment, Li Yuezhong was staring at him coldly waiting for the reply. He could only say vaguely: "This has been so many days, maybe the silver has been moved away long ago."

Humph, nonsense, this is not a provincial capital, where does Zhao Yan move the money?

Li Yuezhong has now decided that Chen Wenjie is lying, so he naturally will not believe Chen Wenjie's words anymore.

He picked up another complaint and asked loudly: "Yang Cong, do you sue the candidate Wu Tangfu for cheating, is there any evidence?"

Yang Cong calmly bowed and said, "When you say that, the students have evidence. Before the examination of the government started, Wu Tang asked Zhang San, a scholar in the city, to write an article for him. This article is the question of the examination of the government. Now the scholar Zhang San is outside the hall, so the adults can come and ask."

When Li Yuezhong heard this, he shouted to the outside without hesitation: "Scholar Zhang San."

Soon, an old scholar who was nearly fifty years old hurried in, stood in the hall and bowed respectfully: "Student Zhang San participated in the academic administration."

This guy has a lot of beards, but he is still calling himself a student in front of Li Yuezhong, who is obviously younger than him. If later generations heard this, they will get goose bumps all over their body, but the people present did not find it strange. These days, there are all children in their fifties, let alone scholars.

Li Yuezhong asked directly: "Zhang San, did you write an article for candidate Wu Tang before the Mansion Examination?"

Zhang San bowed honestly and said, "Sir, the students wrote an article for Wu Tang before the examination, but the students did not know that it was a examination question for the examination, and the students just collected money to do things."

Li Yuezhong didn't care about this either. He directly ordered the yamen runners next to him: "Get two tables and two sets of four treasures in the study."

Soon, several yamen runners came over with two tables, with all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on them.

Li Yuezhong immediately ordered: "Zhang San, write down the article you wrote for Wu Tang. Wu Tang, write down the article you made in the Mansion Trial."

This move is indeed simple and clear. Whether the article in Wu Tang's trial was asked by this scholar Zhang San to do it soon.

Upon hearing this, Zhang San knelt in front of a table without hesitation, picked up his pen and wrote.

Wu Tang was full of panic and came to the table with a hesitation and knelt down. He hesitated for a moment before he started writing with his pen.

He dared not not write it, he didn't write it, and it was the same if Li Yuezhong went to check the examination papers of the office. Moreover, he dared not write it incorrectly on purpose, because he could also find it out after checking the examination papers of the office.

A standard eight-part essay on the test is only more than 400 words, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them finished writing one after another.

Li Yuezhong took the articles written by the two and compared them for a moment, then snorted coldly: "Wu Tang, what else do you have to say?"

Wu Tang was so scared that he was almost crazy. He had nothing to say.

Chen Wenjie suddenly bowed and said, "Sir, this cannot be used as evidence. Yang Cong can steal Wu Tang's article and let the scholar Zhang San remember, how can this prove that Wu Tang knew the test questions in advance?"

This guy is so shameless. The facts are right in front of him, and he still argues.

Li Yuezhong understood as soon as he saw Wu Tang's expression. What Yang Cong said was very likely to be true.

However, Chen Wenjie represents the Chen family in Longxi after all, so he is not good at making a move. He always needs to find enough evidence to make this guy convinced.

He could only continue to ask Yang Cong: "Do you have any other evidence?"

Other evidence?

Yes, what kind of evidence do you want?

However, Yang Cong did not foolishly shake out all the evidence. Xu Jie had already reminded him not to let Chen Wenjie see through his ability. After all, this time it was just a fraud in the imperial examination, and it would not be possible to kill Chen Wenjie. If Chen Wenjie was not convinced, he would still have to fight in the future. It would be bad that his trump card would be seen through.

He felt that Xu Jie's words were very reasonable, so he would not reveal all the evidence at once, and he would only provide it bit by bit. Once Li Yuezhong determined that Chen Wenjie and Song Yingkui were guilty, he would not bring out the subsequent evidence.

If you can keep some things, keep them a little, and it is very likely that they will have unexpected results in the future.

Chen Wenjie's quibbling was also as expected by him. He bowed calmly: "When you say that, the student still has evidence. The student accidentally saw Chen Wenjie send a box of silver to Song Yingkui, and then saw Chen Wenjie looking for Wu Tang, and then he suspected that Wu Tang was cheating. The student believed that the silver should still be with Lord Song now, and the student saw a black paint box that was one foot square. If he didn't believe it, the adults could send someone to search."

"ah!"

As soon as he said this, almost everyone present was stunned. Yang Cong actually said that he also saw a black paint box that was one foot square!

Is there really a black paint box?

Otherwise, why did Chen Wenjie say he had seen it, and Yang Cong also said he had seen it?

But where is this black paint box?

I just went to search for Zhao Yan's residence but couldn't find it. Can I find it by searching for Song Yingkui's residence?

Li Yuezhong was stunned when he heard this, "Will you search?"

However, he was stunned for a moment and shouted to the outside, "Come on."

If the immortal of the 黑小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�

The yamen runner who had just gone to search Zhao Yan's residence soon appeared in the lobby. He ordered without hesitation: "Take two people quickly to carefully search Song Yingkui's residence to see if there is a black painted wooden box one foot square."

The yamen runner was stunned when he heard this and went to find the black painted wooden box again?
