Chapter 108: Slap in the face with evidence

"Brother, wait for the second brother to come back and ask him. If he has no objection, you can take this sweet-scented osmanthus cake to the Yamen to report the case. In addition, ask the store to prove it. Don't blame the store. If you can open it in Anyuan Town The inn also has a background." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Is it possible to find someone here? I can't even find that guy." Bai Zehao asked hesitantly.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Whether they can find out is a matter for the government. Even if the man hides well and cannot be caught in the end, at least it will give him a wake-up call and let him think carefully when he wants to repay us in the future. Can I escape the government’s investigation every time?”

Lin Ping'er frowned, "Ruozhu, do you already know what's going on?"

"Mom, second brother usually studies behind closed doors at home. How many people can he offend?" Bai Ruozhu shrugged.

Lin Ping'er's eyes widened, "You, you mean..." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, she just stamped her feet fiercely and said angrily: "This person can't get into the scholar's examination himself, and he won't let others After taking the exam, there’s no point in this!”

Bai Yihong also understood and said hurriedly: "Don't make any noise. Isn't there no evidence yet? In case it gets out and they make trouble again."

Lin Ping'er glared at him fiercely, "Look what kind of relatives you have in your family." However, she was worried that Bai Ruozhu was still in confinement, so she took a few deep breaths and endured it.

…

In the old house of the Bai family, the old man's face was turning blue at the moment. He was holding a cane in one hand and the book that Erlang had brought with him in the other hand.

Wu Xuefu, the teacher he admired when he was a prince, glared at Sanlang and cursed: "Look what you have done, it is simply an insult to the saints!"

Sanlang frowned and refused to admit it, saying: "He said that what I did is mine? He was not at home, so it wasn't Bai Ruozhu who fanned the flames? I was deceived by Bai Ruozhu, and it was obviously her who framed me. .”

Now the old man has a very bad impression of Bai Ruozhu. On the one hand, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls has been deeply ingrained. When Bai Ruozhu had a conflict with San Lang, he naturally chose San Lang. On the other hand, he felt that Bai Ruozhu was ignorant. He didn't know that the Bai family's forbearance had caused the family to lose face. He even thought that Bai Ruozhu was the one who provoked the dispute that day.

Thinking about it this way, he could "understand" even Sanlang who stole things, because Sanlang said it was a joke with Bai Ruozhu, but it was not that he would not return it to her.

The old man believed this statement, but he didn't know whether to call him naive or naive?

When Bai Ruozhu was mentioned at this moment, the old man immediately chose to believe Sanlang. He stopped the movement of hitting him, looked at Bai Zepei and asked: "You didn't ask your sister before you came. She asked someone to call Sanlang over and set a trap for Sanlang." do what?"

The disdain in Bai Zepei's eyes swept away. He mourned for the old man's poor judgment, and then said: "My little sister didn't ask anyone to call me Sanlang, and even if I really called me Sanlang, there is no need for him to destroy me." Book? Grandpa, I suppressed the matter today. If word gets out that Sanlang destroys Wu Xuefu's book, he will be sent to prison. "

"You said I didn't do it, why do you believe that woman but not me?" Saburo shouted.

Bai Zepei sneered, "It's not that I don't believe you, but I believe in the evidence more."

The old man looked at Bai Zepei, and suddenly a bad feeling arose in his heart...

Seeing that Saburo was still trying to quibble, Bai Zepei said first: "As far as I know, we farmers don't have any extra shoes to wear. Is Saburo's shoes been worn recently?"

Sanlang was stunned for a moment, looked at the shoes under his feet, and said stiffly: "How do you know I didn't change them?"

Bai Zepei smiled and didn't answer him. He just pointed to the book in the old man's hand and said, "The size of the shoes and the texture of the soles are not the same for every pair. This book has been stepped on hard, and there are marks on it. If you notice the mud marks on the soles of your shoes, you can check them with Saburo's shoes."

At this moment, Sanlang's face fell. He rolled his eyes and said, "It was Bai Ruozhu who framed me. She threw the book to the ground on purpose. I didn't step on it until I saw it. I didn't mean it."

Bai Zepei raised the corners of his mouth even higher, "Sanlang, lying is not a good behavior. If you don't step on it intentionally, you will know how to avoid it if you step on it. But how many times did you step on it? Let grandpa read this book. You have stepped on so many of them, let alone other books. If you ruin the works of the Holy Master today, you will really go to jail."

The more he spoke, the more serious and sincere he sounded, but Saburo felt that this was obviously a slap in the face, a naked | naked | naked slap in the face! But he had lost the chance to defend himself.

The old man raised the cane again, pointed at Saburo and cursed: "You unworthy descendant, you have done wrong things and lied. Where have you read all the books of sages?"

Sanlang shrank his neck, and just in time to see his father enter the house, he hid behind his father. While hiding, he said: "Grandpa, I was wrong. It was Bai Ruozhu who tricked me and shouted that I wanted to harm her. , I was so angry at the time, she wanted to embarrass our Bai family, and I couldn't do anything to her, so I stepped on the book a few more times. "

Bai Zepei sneered. Saburo's confession has been reversed several times. Is this still convincing? Of course, it also depends on who the old man favors. After all, Saburo is the eldest son and grandson.

"Don't make excuses. Destroying a book is an insult to the saints and the work of the holy teacher. If it spreads, it will be a serious crime of rebellion. I must teach you a lesson today to prevent you from becoming more and more lawless in the future!" The old man said as he spoke. He glanced at Bai Zepei with his eyes, but it was a pity that Bai Zepei saw them. He knew in his heart that the old man was doing it for him. If he hadn't been there, maybe the beating would have been in vain.

Bai Zepei stood up straight, staring at the cane in the old man's hand to see how many times the old man would hit it.

Bai Yibo stopped him, held the old man's hand, and said, "Dad, don't get angry because the juniors are ignorant. I'll beat Sanlang if he disobeys you. I can't tire you out."

It's a pity that Saburo is not as good at acting as his father. When he heard that his father was coming to fight, his face immediately showed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, are you back after the exam? You said you didn't have a pen in the exam room, and you asked me to borrow a pen in front of everyone. Did you have a pen to answer the questions later? Didn't you delay the exam?" Bai Zepei's voice was light and there was no emotion, as if Just ask about it.

Bai Yibo hurriedly glanced at the old man and said with a smile: "Uncle is joking with you, so naturally we can't delay the exam."

The old man didn't say anything, but he could already tell what was going on. He sighed heavily in his heart. Why are these two so worried? ——
