Chapter 397 Vicious

It is common for classmates to compete secretly and fairly, but it is rare to try to destroy others by such despicable means.

Everyone secretly made up their minds to stay away from him in the future.

Oh, but it should not be necessary. After all, after this happened, it is impossible for the county school to keep Dou Zhongli.

In the backyard of the shop, Xu Zhichun was cooking dinner. The two brothers each brought a small stool to the kitchen to accompany him, helping to light the fire and pick vegetables.

Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang took the opportunity to tell Liang Mingxuan what happened today.

Everyone felt a little relieved.

At least I got rid of this anger.

Captain Yu arrested people in public, and Dou Zhongli lost all face. He really deserved it.

Liang Minglang said, "Everyone can see that Dou Zhongli was behind this, but he'll definitely deny it completely. If he dares to do this, he must have considered a way out. He holds the indentures of his two slaves, and perhaps even their family members' indentures. Whether they like it or not, they'll most likely take the fall for Dou Zhongli. So, in the end, I'm afraid Dou Zhongli will only be held responsible for poor discipline."

"Mingxuan, don't get stuck in a rut."

Don't be resentful or harbor resentment.

Things in this world are not black and white.

Liang Mingxuan nodded. "Don't worry, big brother. I won't. Even if he's only held responsible for poor discipline, everyone knows that the county school can't keep him. If he even has a little bit of shame, he won't be able to stay any longer. That's enough."

This guy is always looking for trouble and making trouble. He will say some bad words whenever he gets the chance. He also likes to tease and bully Ning An with his followers. If he is not careful, Ning An will suffer a big loss. He also always likes to stir up trouble in front of Xiaoyue. He is really annoying.

They were so happy that this guy was kicked out of the county school.

Liang Minglang nodded with relief, "I'm relieved that you think so of me."

Xu Zhichun also smiled and said, "Our Mingxuan is broad-minded and naturally won't dwell on trivial matters. Okay, let's eat, go to bed early tonight, and do well on the exam tomorrow."

Liang Mingxuan nodded and smiled: "Okay, sister-in-law."

Xu Zhichun specially made dinner light, with steamed egg custard, minced meat and tofu, three vegetarian dishes, and Ganoderma lucidum, coix seed, radish and pigeon soup.

After the three of them had dinner together, Liang Mingxuan was sent back to his room to rest. Liang Minglang accompanied Xu Zhichun to clean up the kitchen and they had a good time to chat.

The two of them tacitly didn't ask the child how he did in the exam today. They just told him to have a good rest and perform normally tomorrow.

Now that the child has left, there is nothing left to say.

"How do you think Mingxuan did on the test today?"

"I think it's OK. He looks in good spirits and has a stable mentality. It's obvious that he's performing normally."

"Yeah, I think so too."

“.”

In the yamen, the person was brought to the Magistrate Lu and began to be interrogated.

This matter cannot be left overnight. It would be difficult to explain to everyone if it was left overnight, and even he himself would feel uneasy.

After all, it involves the children's exam, which is by no means a trivial matter.

As Liang Minglang expected, Dou Zhongli refused to admit it and kept complaining about his injustice, trying to deny it and saying he knew nothing.

Dou Jin and Dou Quan burst into tears and took the blame, saying it was all their fault because Liang Tongsheng and their master didn't get along well, and they were indignant on their master's behalf, so -

When County Magistrate Lu heard this, he felt disgusted.

This cunning servant of the Dou family is indeed extremely slick. Even at this time, he is still being sarcastic in both overt and covert ways.

Do you think he, the county magistrate, is stupid?

County Magistrate Lu immediately interrupted him, saying coldly, "Mr. Liang and your master don't get along on a regular basis? In what sense? Can you explain it clearly? Or should I summon all the teachers and students at the county school for questioning immediately?"

Dou Jin was so frightened that he finally stopped talking nonsense.

What does it matter if his malicious words are sarcastic and pointed? Does that mean County Magistrate Lu will accept everything he says?

As long as the teachers and students in the county school are asked, it will be clear who is picking on whom and who is causing trouble on a daily basis.

Dou Jin slapped himself twice, "Forgive me, sir, please forgive me! I didn't explain myself clearly! I knew Liang Tongsheng was a good student, and I was afraid he would do better than my master. After all, they are the same age, and people always compare them. I wanted my master to be better, so I came up with this stupid idea on my own initiative."

"I forced Dou Quan to cooperate with me and do this together."

"But my master really doesn't know! Please understand, my lord! Please understand, my lord!"

County Magistrate Lu scolded and reprimanded Dou Jin sternly, and ordered his men to drag him away and beat him with a stick. However, Dou Jin still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Dou Quan cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, but did not dare to change his words.

The suspect has confessed, and the implicated master has repeatedly protested his innocence. The case can be closed at this point.

If County Magistrate Lu tortured Dou Jin again, even if he changed his words, it would be considered a confession under torture.

He can definitely change it back next time.

After all, the Dou family still has some power. If the matter really involves Dou Zhongli, the Dou family will definitely come forward and request a retrial of the case.

Besides, Liang Mingxuan escaped the disaster without any danger, and it had no impact on his exam at all, so County Magistrate Lu could only stop while he was ahead.

Dou Jin and Dou Quan were imprisoned and sentenced to three years in prison.

Although Dou Zhongli was "unaware" of the matter, he failed to control his subordinates effectively. After all, he was the source of the incident and was severely reprimanded by County Magistrate Lu.

County Magistrate Lu was well-educated and had the demeanor of a scholar. He was particularly fond of talented people and would not easily make things difficult for young and successful people.

However, what Dou Zhongli did really made him feel disgusted.

He is so insidious and despicable at such a young age.

It would be fine if such people lived a mediocre life, but if they pass the imperial examination and become officials, the higher the position they hold, the more trouble they will cause.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Lu disliked him even more.

Dou Zhongli left the county government office in a dusty state and returned to the inn. Everyone who saw him looked wary and cautious, and no one took the initiative to pay attention to him.

Including his two followers.

Dou Zhongli's face was burning, and he felt angry and resentful. He lowered his head and returned to his room without saying a word.

The moment he closed the door, he heard a sigh and a lot of discussion outside. It was not a nice thing to say, and it made him hate it even more.

Mr. Lu, the team leader, sighed, "Everyone, please be careful, especially with your food and drink. Be mindful."

The students sighed and agreed.

Everyone is in a state of panic, it would be strange if their mentality is not affected.

How dare Dou Zhongli come back?

Not only did Dou Zhongli have the nerve to come back, he also took part in the Tongshi exam as usual the next day.

But everyone knew that he had no chance of passing the exam.
