Qingyi's heart tightened and he lowered his head.
It turns out that the master can hear it too! Yang Shanchang threatened Feng Ting'er with his eyes. He knew that this matter today would not end peacefully.
"Sir, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. There are many talented students in Wansong Academy! What a joke. If I want Li Xi's talent for studying, I might as well train the students of Wansong Academy well."
"Once upon a time, there was a man who was jealous of his old friend when he learned that his friend's disciple was very talented. On the surface, this man was on good terms with his old friend, but secretly he couldn't stand seeing others do better than him.
So he invited the disciple out for a trip under the pretext of giving him some pointers, but in reality he had some ulterior motives.
With evil thoughts in his mind, he picked up any object at hand and swung it at the disciple's head.
As a result, the young disciple fainted and fell into the river.
Perhaps the sound of falling into the river attracted the attention of passers-by, and the villain could only stage his own cry for help..." Su Yun told the story to herself.
She noticed that Yang Shanchang's pupils constricted, and she knew that she had guessed correctly.
Su Yun continued, "A passerby saved the young disciple, and the evil man claimed to be the young disciple's teacher. After the passerby left, the evil man hid the person again, ran back to his old friend all wet and cried, claiming that the young disciple fell into the water.
The two searched and salvaged for a whole day but found nothing.
The friend comforted the wicked man, and he stayed for one day and then returned to Beijing.
But on the way back to Beijing, he found that the young disciple had woken up and remembered nothing. Perhaps because he valued the talent, the evil man wanted to use the young disciple for his own benefit..."
"shut up."
Yang Shanchang shouted angrily, his breathing rapid.
"Put aside your story. Everything needs evidence. I went to see a friend, but I had no contact with Li Xi at all. You can send someone to ask Master Gao about this matter."
[He was anxious! Fortunately, I have read a lot of novels, so I can guess a few things. ]
[It’s good to be anxious. When people are anxious, they lose their rationality. 】
Su Yun's voice was clear and loud. "Why are you so anxious, Mr. Yang? Are you the villain in the story?"
"Whether it is true or not, the adults will decide." Principal Yang bowed to Zhang Zhaoyin.
Zhang Zhaoyin was so frightened when he saw Feng Ting'er's face clearly that his whole body froze.
Coupled with the threat in Yang Shanchang's tone, sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
Feng Ting'er doesn't know him, but he knows Feng Ting'er.
He was afraid that old man Yang Shanchang would end up in a desperate situation.
In front of him is the madman Fu Yuan, and behind him is Chief Yang who wants to find someone to take the blame.
Zhang Zhaoyin thought for a while and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Su Yun, do you have any evidence?"
"Your Excellency needs to ask the coroner to come over." Su Yun said seriously.
Director Yang couldn't understand why the coroner was here since his job wasn't to perform autopsies on dead bodies.
Zhang Zhaoyin was also confused.
Only Fu Yuan and Su Yuansheng looked at Su Yun at the same time and understood what she meant.
Zhang Zhaoyin didn't want to invite him, and just when he was about to refuse, he heard Fu Yuan's cold voice from the side.
"Send someone to find a coroner."
"Yes." Zhang Zhaoyin's sleeves were covered with sweat, and he waved his hand. "Someone, go get Liu the coroner."
When Liu the coroner came, he was puzzled, "What do you want to see me for?"
"Su Yun, the people are here, where is the evidence?" Zhang Zhaoyin ignored the coroner.
Su Yun stepped forward and whispered something with Coroner Liu.
Then he came to Li Xi.
"Mr. Liu, do you think that when a person falls into the water, his head will be hit by rocks?"
"There are two hypotheses. One is that his feet slipped and he fell backwards, and perhaps he hit the steps on the shore on the way down, and then slowly fell into the water.
Second, if the feet slip and the person leans forward, the head will not be hit when falling into the water. But it is not ruled out that the person will be hit by the current and hit the shore. "Liu the coroner touched his chin.
Su Yun nodded with satisfaction and asked Director Yang.
"How would I know? I just happened to save Li Xi when I passed by." Shanzhang Yang clenched his fists.
Su Yun asked again, "So was Li Xi in the middle of the river or on the river bank? Was he awake or fainted?"
The series of questions made Yang Shanchang irritated.
He remembered what the coroner had just said and answered casually.
"Since the shore, people have fainted."
"You're lying!"
Su Yun smiled, and a small dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She turned and looked at Coroner Liu.
"Mr. Liu, can you tell me why Chief Yang lied?"
Coroner Liu ignored Zhang Zhaoyin's eye contact and stroked his chin, thinking seriously.
Just now, this little girl actually looked down on him.
She even said that he was not as suitable to be a coroner as she was.
Now, he wanted to show this little girl what professionalism was.
Coroner Liu stared at Shanzhang Yang, "Because Shanzhang Yang is the murderer who caused Li Xi to fall into the water. Only murderers would lie."
"Nonsense! Then why did I save Li Xi?" Principal Yang raised his voice.
Coroner Liu was much calmer.
He walked around Yang Shanchang.
"Then I'll ask you this."
"Master Zhang, this Sanchang Yang is talking nonsense. If Li Xi was unconscious on the shore, he would have been dead by the time Sanchang Yang saw him."
"There are two possibilities. One is that Li Xi's feet slipped and he fell backwards, hitting his head on the rocks on the shore. He was in a coma, fell into the water and floated up, and would have slowly drifted to the center of the river. If he hadn't been rescued in time, he would have died."
"Second, Li Xi slipped and fell forward into the river. He struggled and slowly sank to the bottom of the river. After the water entered his lungs, he fainted and floated up. The impact of the river pushed him to the shore, and then he hit the stone bricks. But a long time had passed by then, so it was impossible for him to still be alive."
"Moreover, river surges can only be formed when the sluice gates are opened and water is released. If I remember correctly, there is no flood this year, so the higher-ups will definitely not order the sluice gates to be opened and water will be released."
Yang Shanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "You lied to me, no matter what I say, it's wrong."
Zhang Zhaoyin also just wanted to resolve the matter quickly to prevent Feng Ting'er from telling others.
By then, Chief Yang will definitely drag him into this.
Zhang Zhaoyin said hurriedly.
"In that case, considering that Li Xiren is still alive, we will fine Yang Shanchang a compensation of 100 taels of silver. We will also put Yang Shanchang in jail for a month, and the matter will be over. Tian Shufen, what do you think?"
Tian Shufen didn't want to let Yang Shanchang go just like that, so she looked at Su Yun, undecided.
Unconsciously, she had already regarded Su Yun as her backbone.
"Wait." Fu Yuan said.
Zhang Zhaoyin bent down and asked, "Master Fu, do you have any other ideas?"
"I'm more curious about how Shanchang Yang committed the crime and why he rescued the person and brought him back to Beijing." Fu Yuan didn't even look at Zhang Zhaoyin.
Zhang Zhaoyin repeated the message.
"Mr. Yang, please tell the truth."
"Just as the girl said, I went to see Master Gao. When I heard Master Gao bragging about his disciples, I became jealous. But I didn't meet Li Xi in front of Master Gao. I just followed Li Xi secretly and took the opportunity to talk to him.
As an old friend of Master Gao, I invited Li Xi to the river to have a chat. The more we talked, the more shocked I became. I had never seen a student who was so talented and worked so hard.
An evil thought came to my mind, and I saw no one around, so I hit Li Xi on the back of his head with a roadside stone. And out of fear, I threw him into the river.
But just when Li Xi fell into the water, a boatman came from under the bridge. I had no choice but to jump into the water to rescue Li Xi. Fortunately, the boatman left without interfering.
