Chapter 495 Is it in vain for such a person to read the books of sages?
What happened?!
Just now we were boasting that students from all over the country and nobles were getting along harmoniously, but now there are examples of them turning against each other.
Everyone looked over and saw an old man in fancy clothes punching and kicking a young man in plain clothes, who was trying his best to dodge.
There were several men who looked like scholars nearby who tried to stop the crowd, but after hearing the old man's crying, they all stopped and looked hesitant.
At this moment, the young man in a navy blue robe quickly stepped forward and shouted anxiously, "Brother Zhou! Brother Pei! You know me. I don't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could I possibly kill someone?"
Yuan Ruan looked over as the man said, uttered a soft "hmm", and subconsciously looked away.
The Third Prince noticed and asked softly, "What's wrong with Ninth Sister?"
Yuan Ruan shook her head: "Nothing."
Brother Zhou and Brother Pei were people she had met several times. Brother Zhou was a crazy fan who joined the Imperial Teacher's School, and Brother Pei was a student at the Imperial College who admired her. Every time these two met, Yuan Ruan was so enthusiastic that she felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't want to attract each other's attention.
However, Yuan Ruan thought that the other party did not see it. In fact, Zhou Langjun and Pei Langjun saw Yuan Ruan early in the morning, but they did not want to bring trouble over, so they resisted the urge to move.
At this time, Old Man Hua Shang cried even louder: "Why don't you dare? You definitely dare! You just resent me for breaking you up. You killed my daughter because of love turning into hatred. You must pay for your blood debt with blood."
The young man in plain clothes shuddered and shouted, "How could I bear to kill her! Let me go, and I will seek justice for her."
Old Man Hua Chang punched him and said, "Do you think I still believe you? I believed you, but you almost kidnapped my daughter! You are so cruel that you let her rest in peace! Tell me, my daughter, where did you hide my daughter's head?"
The crowd was shocked. Even the head was gone.
The young man in plain clothes turned pale and shouted, "This has nothing to do with me! I am a weakling, how could I kill someone and chop off his head? Besides, I am going to Beijing to take the imperial examination! How could I do such a thing!"
The old man Hua Shang said with a "Pah" sound, "Pah! Ten fingers have different lengths, and the nine sons of a dragon have different merits and demerits! I don't regret bringing the students to the capital. I only hate myself for being blind. I chose an ungrateful person like you instead of so many good students. I provided you with good food and drink along the way, and even though you said you could only take the imperial examination next year, I never gave you any face! Who knew you were lying to me? You are not even from Daxia. You came to the capital incognito, and what's so strange about doing such beastly things?"
After these words were spoken, the onlookers who were not from Da Xia all had subtle expressions on their faces.
At this time, the Minister of Justice came over with big strides.
The bailiff following him also rushed over and shouted, "Someone has proved that you met this lady by the river last night. Your jade pendant was there, and then this lady died. Do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the young man in plain clothes with strange expressions.
Even Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yuan's expressions changed, but Mr. Yuan just frowned. Mr. Zhou simply shook off the hand of the young man in plain clothes and took a step to the side.
The young man in plain clothes turned pale instantly, and his tone was filled with despair: "You, you guys! I didn't hide it on purpose... I saw it, but I really didn't kill anyone."
