Chapter 877 Physical evidence, his ability

Bai Ruozhu moved a little away from Jiang Yichun and happened to notice Deng Lin's gaze. She felt a little worried, but when she turned to look at Jiang Yichun's side face, she suddenly felt relieved.

After knowing him for so long, doesn't she still understand his abilities?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu had a smile on her face, she just waited to see the good show.

"If there is physical evidence, the matter will naturally come to light. It is true that we committed fraud, and I will never deny it." Deng Lin said confidently.

Jiang Yichun said nothing, looked at Lord Bai and said, "Please continue the trial."

Seeing him like this, Deng Lin became even more convinced that he had no evidence and what he just said was just pretentious.

Master Bai continued to interrogate a group of people. Liu Dong and Jin Guangqi naturally refused to admit it, but the other team members on both sides looked a little hesitant. Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought of a person, Ding Guangji, but after thinking about it, he felt uncomfortable dragging him into the water. Come.

After interrogating the case for a long time, there was no progress. Zhang Xiuquan said even more arrogantly: "Now it's just empty talk. I want to accuse them of false accusation and perjury. Please make a clear decision!"

Such a stalemate was not an option, so Mr. Bai thought that Jiang Yichun's evidence had not come yet, so why not adjourn the court first and resume the trial in the afternoon.

Just as he was about to speak, an announcement came from outside the county government office, and Lightning walked in quickly and nodded to Jiang Yichun.

Jiang Yichun's face was still cold, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, shining with confidence.

"Sir, the younger one is Mr. Jiang's subordinate. This is the archive that our lords found. Because the archive was badly burned, it took some time to repair it." Lightning said and carefully presented the album to Mr. Bai. , and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, the booklet is fragile, please be careful."

When Mr. Bai carefully opened the silk wrapping it little by little, Deng Lin couldn't help but shudder. Others might not be able to recognize the book, but he recognized it at a glance, even though the book had been burned. Only half of it is left.

Mr. Qiu noticed Deng Lin's abnormality, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes. He couldn't stand such dirty things. He didn't expect...

Is this the first time Deng Lin has done this, or has it happened before without anyone noticing?

If Beiyu Academy had not had Bai Ruozhu, a student with a good memory and good arithmetic, even if Dean Wen had doubts, he would have given up after asking a few questions. Of course, Jiang Yichun was more supportive, helping to find so many witnesses and even the files that were burned beyond recognition.

Deng Lin's hands were shaking. How could this happen? He had clearly burned the book. He thought it was foolproof, but why did he still keep half of it?

By the way, he remembered that he threw it into a basin and burned it, but a judge happened to call him outside, so he hurriedly walked out. When he came back, he saw ashes in the basin and thought they were all burned, but he didn't want to. Someone was behind and saved the archives. Could it be that Jiang Yichun had been staring at him for a long time? Or was someone else spying on him and leaving evidence?

No matter which one it was, Deng Lin felt cold all over. He was really finished this time!

The booklet was severely burned, but most of the records of the painting competition were left. It happened that the fourth place was not burned, and the name of Jinhua Academy Liu Dong was clearly written on it!

Lord Bai secretly applauded, looked at Lightning and asked, "How did you get this evidence?"

"My lord, it was a young boy who was sweeping the house who got it. He didn't think much about it at the time. He thought it was some kind of book and wanted to take it home for his younger brother to read and learn. We happened to discover this when we were investigating. The boy is now Outside, you can come forward to testify." Lightning returned.

Master Bai felt happy and said hurriedly: "The speaker is coming to the court."

The boy who came was not very old. After saluting Master Bai, he said, "I am Laifu. I have been responsible for cleaning the arena these days. I went to clean Mr. Deng's house the day before yesterday and saw that he was temporarily called away. When I entered the house, I saw something burning in an earthen basin. The smoke was a bit choking. I was afraid that the water would be taken away, so I hurried over and put out the fire. Then I thought to myself, I would take back the books that Mr. Deng didn’t want and teach my brother how to read. Okay, I just took it home secretly."

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the young man. She believed that it was definitely not a coincidence that Jiang Yichun found this person, and she admired his ability even more.

Master Bai was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Deng Lin and asked: "Deng Lin, what else do you have to say? As the general person in charge of the Eight University Palace Competition, you actually used your power to engage in favoritism and malpractice. What crime should you be guilty of?" "

Deng Lin stood up in a hurry and said, "Sir, this is unfair. This person must have been bribed. This is not my first day as the person in charge of the competition. When has such a thing ever happened?"

Master Bai sneered, "Then how do you explain this physical evidence? This information book clearly records that Liu Dong was fourth, and Jin Guangqi didn't even enter the top ten that day!"

"The staff must have made a mistake. I really don't know." Deng Lin no longer had the arrogance at the beginning, and changed from calling himself "I" to "I".

"Civilian, carefully take the physical evidence and compare it with the final list of the competition to see if there are any discrepancies." Mr. Bai ordered the clerk who was responsible for recording. The clerk took the order, carefully took the physical evidence, and then led someone to compare it carefully. .

"Liu Dong, don't you remember that you are the fourth one? It's obvious that you lied in court. It seems that I don't have to punish you, so you won't do it?" Mr. Bai said, taking the order sign and about to throw it down. .

Liu Dong was not very courageous at first, and he was a weak scholar. He couldn't stand a chance. He panicked and shouted in his heart: "Sir, please forgive me. Students don't want to help others cheat, but Dean Zhang said that if I don't cooperate, I will let him go." Someone picked on the faults of my father, who works in Beijing, and asked him to be dismissed from his post at the least, or to be imprisoned for the rest of his life. He also promised that if I did well, he would help my father get into the Ministry of Etiquette."

"Sir, my father doesn't know about this at all. I don't want to bring trouble to him just because I came to participate in a competition. I am willing to plead guilty, as long as my father is not implicated." Liu Dong said and started to cry.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought of Jiang Yichun jokingly saying that she was cruel. After hearing Liu Dong's words, she felt a little sympathetic. If it was really a small person who was threatened, there was nothing she could do.

"Now that Liu Dong has confessed, what about Jin Guangqi? You pretended to be the fourth, do you have to give up before you confess?" Master Bai was shocked, but when he saw that Jin Guangqi still refused to admit, he just threw it away. The order is signed and the official is asked to play twenty big boards in the hall.

Soon the sound of a board hitting flesh could be heard in the hall, as well as Jin Guangqi's pitiful cry of pain. Many people were trembling, fearing that they would also be hit with a board.

After almost ten hits, Jin Guangqi couldn't stand it anymore and shouted that he should move.

"Dean Zhang didn't want to lose to Beiyu Academy, so he told me to give my uncle some face and let me go back with a higher ranking. He said that whether it was in the subsequent scientific examinations or facing family members, I could do better. benefit."
