Captain Cheng still wanted to explain: "But sir, this matter has nothing to do with whether Liu Wen is my brother-in-law. Now Liu Xiucai pointed at Gao Zhi before he died, why did he have to be killed?

And what about the woman who died in Liu Xiucai’s house?

This is the crux of the case.

My Lord, please don't let him lead you astray."

At this time, Jiang Renfeng could no longer hear what Captain Cheng said. He just felt that this man was no longer the same Captain Cheng as before.

According to Tang Liu's confession, Captain Cheng was the middleman.

When it comes to buying the rankings, Captain Cheng is the middleman.

Captain Cheng was not like this before, why is he like this now?

Why? Either wealth or power.

Jiang Renfeng's mind suddenly became extremely clear, as if he was enlightened by something, and then many things connected together.

Why did Captain Cheng become Tang Liu's middleman? It was for Liu Wen. Why did he become a middleman for buying the list? It was also for Liu Wen. What can Liu Wen bring to Captain Cheng?

If a brother-in-law of a juren goes to Beijing to take the imperial examination in the future, wouldn't it be much easier if he has the general's wife as a backer?

If Liu Wen passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court, with a general's wife as his backer, wouldn't he have been able to avoid taking detours?

My wife’s younger brother is an official in the court, so how bad can my brother-in-law be?

There will definitely be money.

There will definitely be momentum.

So, in order to hold on to his backer, will Captain Cheng do things for Tang Liu?

Yes! Definitely!

Gao Miao carefully observed Jiang Renfeng's expression. He knew that Jiang Renfeng no longer trusted Cheng Putou.

This is a good thing!

In this matter, Cheng Putou is definitely not innocent.

"Sir." An official ran in hurriedly. "Sir, there are many students gathered outside the government office, and the headmaster of Yuanshan Academy, Mr. Yan, and Boss Qin are all here."

Jiang Renfeng: "What are they doing here?"

“The students waved their arms in protest at the gate of the government office, saying that the government office was dark.

The fake list failed to bring Gao Miao down, and now a murder case has occurred.

They demanded that the case be tried immediately. They said that if Gao Miao was kept in jail for a few days, he would definitely confess under torture.

And also said…”

Jiang Renfeng stamped his feet in anger and gnashed his teeth, "What else did you say?"

He felt like the strings in his head were breaking one by one, and the popping noise gave him a headache.

“They said that the adults received bribes and not only helped replace the list, but also wanted to turn the high-ranking officials into murderers.

Say, sir..."

The officer hesitated to speak again and again.

Jiang Renfeng lost his patience. "Let's go! Let's go to court immediately. Keep an eye on Mr. Gao and Miss Gao Er. If anyone dares to touch them, I will skin him alive."

Jiang Renfeng threw his sleeves and left angrily.

Not long after walking, Jiang Renfeng came back and looked at Captain Cheng with his sharp eyes.

"Someone, come! Take away Captain Cheng's knife and bring Captain Cheng to the court."

“……” Captain Cheng couldn’t believe it.

The officer was also a little confused.

Jiang Renfeng looked at the officer and roared, "Is there no one listening to what I say?

Or do you only listen to Cheng Zhao?

Is Cheng Zhao the head of this government office?"

"I dare not!" The police officer took action immediately, took away the knife from Captain Cheng, and then took Captain Cheng, Gao Miao, and Gao Zhi to the court.

Along the way, Captain Cheng was unable to recover from his shock.

What's going on?

Isn't this how things are supposed to develop?

How come those people outside came so quickly, and why did they target the fake list?

Also, what happened to Jiang Renfeng?

He took the money himself, and didn't get the job done the first time, so why not do him a favor this time?

Fu Hua and the others had obviously left, so what was he still afraid of?

The three men were escorted side by side.

Captain Cheng turned his head and looked at Gao Miao.

Gao Miao also turned his head and looked over, with a smile on his face, "Captain Cheng, do you know what's wrong with you?"

Captain Cheng: "I don't understand what you are saying."

Gao Miao sneered.

Who made you understand?

Who cares whether you understand or not?

I didn’t expect Tang Liu to find such a useless thing as a murder knife.

If it were any other scholar, he might be frightened in the case of Mr. Sun. Under such circumstances, there is a high possibility that he would confess under torture.

But the one they designed was him, Gao Miao.

Once the whole thing calmed down, it was easy to find a breakthrough. Mr. Sun was dead, and they thought there was no evidence, but the dead can speak!

Living people are not made of iron or steel and can be torn into pieces.

soon!

Jiang Renfeng went to court to try the case. Outside the court, there were crowds of students who came to take the exam.

Many people hadn't had time to go back when something like this happened again, and they all ran over.

The change in the list has already made them very dissatisfied.

Although the list has been corrected, many people are wondering about the past. Are there any problems with the previous list?

Did you pass the imperial examination before, but someone else took your place?

Some things, once they happen, will sow the seeds of doubt in people's hearts.

Once the seeds fall, they will instantly take root and sprout, and then grow into towering trees.

Gao Miao's name was not on the fake list, but he was clearly the first in the case. Now Gao Miao was brought back to the government office, and it was claimed that a life was involved.

Two things mixed together.

If the headmaster sends some more people outside to spread doubts, these people will soon be incited.

They are not speaking up for Gao Miao now, but for themselves!

If we don't make a big deal out of this, there will be more changes in the rankings in the future.

Will those who failed the imperial examination always be replaced by others and never get fair and just opportunities?

In the court, Gao Miao, Gao Zhi, and Captain Cheng stood in the middle.

Jiang Renfeng slammed the gavel hard, "Someone! Call the coroner up."

"yes!"

The coroner came in hurriedly from outside the crowd, still carrying a tool box.

"grown ups."

Jiang Renfeng: "Have both bodies been examined?"

Coroner: "Not yet. I was just about to start."

“Ahhh…”

Someone outside the crowd was screaming, and the coroner's apprentice Niu Erhu ran in screaming, with a bloody knife in his hand.

"Master, Master...someone has revived his corpse..."

This statement shocked everyone.

Especially the bloody knife in his hand scared everyone so much that they made way for him.

What the hell?

Jiang Renfeng looked outside the crowd in surprise.

The coroner quickly dodged and yelled at Niu Erhu who was holding a knife, "What are you doing? This is the government court."

This little bastard rushed towards his master with a knife in hand. Was he going to stab him in public?

Niu Erhu was so scared that he cried loudly, "Master, it's true... it's true..."

The coroner pointed at the knife in his hand and said, "Put it down immediately."

Niu Erhu looked at the knife in his hand and realized how scary he had been just now. He quickly put the knife down.

"Master, I am not..."

Jiang Renfeng slammed the gavel hard, "What's going on? Are you trying to get a punishment for disrupting the court?"
