Chapter 261 Sweating
Everyone looked up and saw a man sitting next to Liang Weijiang, holding up a piece of paper with an excited look on his face.
"I picked this up from under Liang Weijiang's desk. It contains the questions and answers for this written test."
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Liang Yuanwang was so angry that he cursed: "You are talking nonsense. Even if you cheat, my son won't cheat."
But he was far away, and the crowd around him was also very excited, so his voice was intermittent and difficult to hear clearly.
The city lord's face also darkened.
Liang Weijiang's expression remained unchanged. He put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the man, and said with a sharp gaze: "You said I cheated, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" The man sneered, "This note is the best evidence."
As he said this, he handed the note to the city lord who had already stepped down from the stage.
The city lord took the note and looked at it. The handwriting was indeed similar to Liang Weijiang's, and what was written on it was indeed the topic and answer of this written test.
His face became even darker, but he did not say anything. Instead, the person who reported him could not wait to say, "Liang Weijiang, you still don't admit it."
Liang Weijiang smiled: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. This piece of paper is not mine at all."
"It's not yours?" The man sneered, "How do you explain the handwriting on it?"
"Handwriting can be imitated." Liang Weijiang said calmly, "Besides, since you were able to get this note, it means you already knew that I would cheat. If that's the case, why didn't you report me at the beginning, but waited until I finished writing the second question before speaking out?"
He paused, looking directly at the man, "Or, were you waiting for me to get here, and then took the opportunity to throw this note under my desk to frame me?"
As soon as Liang Weijiang finished speaking, everyone burst into tears.
They didn't expect that this seemingly weak boy would have such sharp thinking and judgment.
Moreover, his analysis does make sense.
If the man really knew in advance that Liang Weijiang would cheat, he could have reported Liang Weijiang at the beginning instead of waiting until Liang Weijiang finished the second question.
This makes people doubt his motives.
The city lord also frowned and looked at the man: "What else do you have to say?"
The man obviously didn't expect Liang Weijiang to bite back like this. His face changed, but he still insisted: "I, of course I wanted to confirm it, so I didn't report him at the beginning..."
"Oh?" Liang Weijiang raised his eyebrows. "Then may I ask, how did you confirm that I would cheat? And how did you know how I cheated? Also, how did you confirm that the handwriting on this note was mine?"
He asked three questions in a row, each of which hit the nail on the head.
The man was speechless after hearing his question, and his face turned pale and blue.
He really had no way of explaining these problems.
"I..." The man hesitated for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "It was Lin Zixuan. He asked me to do this."
He pointed at Lin Zixuan who was sitting in the front. "Lin Zixuan and Liang Weijiang have always been at odds in the army, and they have secretly been plotting to compete with each other. Lin Zixuan is afraid that Liang Weijiang will surpass him, so he asked me to do this."
The man became more and more excited: "He also said that after the deal is done, he would give me a large sum of money to ensure that I would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again.
Lin Zixuan, the eldest son of the Lin family, which is a wealthy family, how could he do such a thing?
Moreover, if he really wanted to frame Liang Weijiang, why did he choose this man to do it? Wouldn't it be easier for him to do it himself?
Everyone's heart was filled with doubts.
The city lord's face also completely sank. He looked at the man deeply, then waved his hand and said, "Take the three of them away. I want to interrogate them personally."
Guards immediately came forward and took Liang Weijiang, the man, and Lin Zixuan who was named away.
Peace returned to the examination room, but people's hearts could no longer calm down.
Liang Huanxue saw it clearly from the stage. Although she believed that her elder brother would not cheat, she also knew that this matter would definitely not be so simple.
The man was obviously well prepared, and the person behind him was definitely not a simple person.
And Lin Zixuan...
Liang Huanxue's eyes flashed, and she already had a plan in mind.
No matter what the truth of the matter is, she will not let her elder brother come to any harm.
The written examination is still going on, but people's hearts are no longer on the examination.
Since it was about her eldest brother, Liang Huanxue followed the city lord closely.
The city lord turned around and said helplessly: "Xiaoxue, you can't get involved in this matter."
Liang Huanxue raised her hand to guarantee: "I promise I won't say a word. I'll just watch."
Xu Zhiyi spoke at the right time: "Dad, didn't you ask me to learn from you? This is a good opportunity for me to learn. The City Lord's Mansion will rely on me in the future. You have to teach me everything."
Xu Zhiyi spoke confidently and even found a moment to wink at Liang Huanxue, as if to say, "Don't worry, sister. I'm here."
The city lord was speechless and rubbed his brows: "Okay, follow me."
The three parties involved in the incident were all brought in, one instigator, one cheater, and one whistleblower.
However, among the three, the one who should have a clear conscience was sweating profusely and staring at the city lord nervously.
The city lord did not ask right away, but looked at a few people.
After a while, he waved to Xu Zhiyi.
Then, the city lord glanced at Liang Huanxue. When Liang Huanxue looked at him in confusion, he smiled and pointed to a chair not far away.
"You're still a child. You can't stand for long. Go sit over there and wait."
Perhaps it was the guilt she felt for not being able to save people that made Liang Huanxue magnify the city lord's simple words infinitely and even blame herself.
She opened her mouth, but finally just said "OK".
The city lord also had a headache. He couldn't understand why there was anything wrong with talking about or writing about this matter.
In the end, he concluded that Liang Huanxue was not able to express herself, let alone read. With this in mind, he secretly decided to give Chunyu Zhuo a lesson and let him teach Liang Huanxue how to read.
After making arrangements for Liang Huanxue, the city lord looked at his son who was standing awkwardly, and his brows twitched again.
He slapped Xu Zhiyi in the face without hesitation: "Don't you want to learn? Now tell me what you think about this matter."
Xu Zhiyi yelled: "I'm only six years old, Dad, you..."
"Then take Xiaoxue out." The city lord interrupted Xu Zhiyi coldly.
Xu Zhiyi's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted in dissatisfaction: "You only know how to threaten me."
The city lord raised his eyebrows and did not comment.
Xu Zhiyi snorted and then spoke.
"It's very simple. Someone is unhappy with Lin Zixuan and wants to get rid of him."
The city lord frowned. After all, he had invested a lot of famous teachers in this brat. How could he speak so vulgarly at such a young age?
