Chapter 1167 Nonsense
Of course, nothing was found.
"Impossible! This is impossible."
Qiao Hongxi was not really stupid. The letter described very clearly what happened to Shao Yunduan yesterday, how his sister went to Shao's house to ask Shao Yunduan for help, and how she was finally brought into the yard by Shao Yunduan. In short, there were so many details, it was absolutely impossible for him to make it up out of nothing.
If I hadn't been at the gathering with Shao Yunduan and his group yesterday, it would have been impossible for me to know so many details.
You can find out the truth of those details by asking a few people who were present yesterday.
As long as those details can be proven to be true, then even if the rest of the letter cannot be proven to be 100% true, it can still be generally believed, right?
In other words, it can be proved that Shao Yunduan is a suspect, right?
It was precisely because of this certainty that Qiao Hongxi had the guts to go to Shao Yunduan and cause trouble.
He was also worried that Shao Yunduan would move his sister away, so without giving it much thought, he ran to Shao's house as soon as he got the news and confirmed that his sister was not in the house.
But he had planned everything, but he had not expected that this sinister Shao Yunduan would actually report to the police!
He actually reported it to the police!
He never expected that the letter, which he had carefully kept in his arms, would disappear without any warning!
"Qiao Hongxi! You are so brave!"
The prefect became impatient and banged the gavel in a stern voice.
Qiao Hongxi shuddered so much that his legs almost gave out and he fell.
"Sir! It's unfair! I swear, the letter really exists, otherwise how could I know Shao Yunduan would do such a thing and go to find him? Yes, Shao Yunduan! He must have secretly stolen the letter! It must be him!"
The prefect laughed in anger and sneered, "You are a scholar, but this is totally unreasonable! You mean, in front of everyone, Lord Shao stole a letter from you?"
What could Qiao Hongxi say? He could only bite the bullet and nod his head, "Sir, that's right."
"Nonsense! Without evidence, it's a false accusation. You're a scholar, don't you understand this?"
Qiao Hongxi hated it most when people looked down on him for not being an educated person. He was so angry that he wanted to argue, but he opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.
Just then, the constable who went to investigate the Qiao family came back.
"Sir, the young lady of the Qiao family is fine in your house, and there is nothing wrong with her."
Qiao Hongxi was stunned.
The prefect sneered: "What else do you have to say?"
"This is impossible. She's clearly not here. How, how could this happen?"
The constable glanced at him speechlessly and said, "Miss Qiao said she lost something and got up early in the morning to look for it in the garden."
Qiao Hongxi staggered, then suddenly raised his head and screamed, "This, this is a trap! My lord, it must be Shao Yunduan who framed me! He set it up to harm me!"
"He must have deliberately sent someone to give me that letter! And then he found a way to steal it. He is harming me!"
The prefect didn't even want to look at him anymore, thinking that this young master of the Qiao family must have studied so much that he became stupid. He was so pedantic that it was no wonder that he could get worse and worse in a place like the Hanlin Academy.
How can such a person be an official? He should just go home and save himself from embarrassment!
"Where's the evidence?"
"The letter is the evidence, but—"
"Where's the letter? Can't you produce it? If that's the case, what else do you have to say? Are you trying the case or am I? As a scholar, don't you know what "empty words are not enough"?"
"My Lord, I——"
