Chapter 825 It’s All Their Fault

"Master is right, we have to consider other students." The ancient prefect said to Tang Tongpan: "Let's go, I will try the case personally."

As soon as Gu Zhifu said these words, Gu Chengxian was doomed.

Tang Tongpan was very happy after hearing this. He would say something to defend Gu Chengxian before, but he was actually afraid of offending Mr. Li. The two of them are at the same level, but Mr. Li has a bigger backer than him, so it's hard to offend him. Now that the prefect is personally involved in the trial, it is none of his business and he can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, please." Tang Tongfeng gave way to the ancient prefect.

The ancient prefect brought two of his confidants to the court together with Tang Tongpan. After bowing to Mr. Yu, he sat under the high mirror, slapped the hall with shock, and said to the students who were complaining about injustice and their families: " I already know about Gu Chengxian, don’t worry, if he really has the disease, I will ban him from taking the scientific examination according to the law."

According to Da Chu's criminal law, those with serious illnesses are not allowed to take part in the scientific examination.

After hearing this, the student's family members who were kneeling in the court were extremely happy and shouted: "Your Excellency is wise, thank you very much for making the decision for us."

The ancient prefect nodded and said to the leader of the third team of government officials: "Take people to Chunfeng Tower and escort the owner of Chunfeng Tower. Then go to the same prefect to record a statement for Gu Chengxian and others involved. Take the doctor with you and give Gu Chengxian a confession." Wait for someone to check his pulse, and be sure to find out whether he has contracted any serious disease; then bring those people who spread the word that Gu Chengxian hired the sick flower girl, and I will interrogate them personally."

The ancient prefect did not want to waste too much time on such a shameful case, so he acted resolutely and asked the three squadrons of government officials to be divided into three groups to handle the case at the same time.

"Yes." The three team leaders immediately took their yamen servants and ran towards Chunfeng Tower, Tongzhifu, and major medical clinics.

…

Mr. Li paid more and more attention to Gu Chengxian because Gu Youwen was paralyzed in bed. Seeing that Gu Chengxian will take the scientific examination in a few days, he must see Chengxian before going to the Yamen. Only when he sees that he is well can he go to the Yamen with peace of mind.

But today he did not see Gu Chengxian. Just as he was wondering, Li Zhuang hurriedly came to report: "Sir, something happened. People are saying that Young Master Chengxian slept with a flower fairy who had the disease in Chunfeng Tower last night. Now he has contracted the disease." Hualiu disease!”

Mr. Li frowned, not believing this to be true at all: "That's nonsense. Cheng Xian is noble and arrogant. How can he like the woman in the flower house?"

Li Zhuang swore to God: "This matter has spread all over the city. After the current students and their families heard about it, they went to the Yamen of Fucheng to beat drums and cry out for injustice. Even Mr. Yu took Yang Juren and Fang Juren there. .”

Mr. Li's heart sank. If a senior official could say this in person, it must be true.

But Chengxian has always been a good boy, how could he do such a thing?

"Go and call the two boys who are serving Chengxian!" Lord Li ordered with a stern face.

"Yes." Li Zhuang quickly asked his servants to call someone.

The two boys serving Gu Chengxian were quickly brought.

Mr. Li asked them: "Where did Chengxian go? Did he really go to morning reading?"

The two servants hurriedly said: "Replying to your lord, Master Chengxian did say before dark yesterday that he would leave the house this morning for morning reading. He also said that he would come back later, so that lords don't have to worry."

When the boy said this, he was afraid. Just because when they went to Gu Chengxian's house to wait on him this morning, they found that the charcoal fire in the house was out and the quilt was cold. It was obvious that they did not sleep in the house last night.

The boy was afraid of being punished, so he kept it secret and asked Gu Chengxian to come back soon and settle the matter.

However, before Gu Chengxian returned home, the team leader of the Fucheng Yamen came to the door with the Yamen servants and put Gu Chengxian to bed. The sick flower fairy contracted a serious illness. The Fucheng students, Mr. Yu, Juren, and scholars went to the Yamen to play drums. He complained about the injustice and petitioned the prefect to cancel Gu Chengxian's qualification for the scientific examination.

Mr. Li turned pale when he heard this and fell into his chair.

Li Bai was not smart enough. After hearing this, he asked the yamen leader: "Are you telling the truth? Could it be that those students saw that Young Master Chengxian was well-educated and were afraid that Young Master Chengxian would be in high school and trap Young Master Chengxian."

The head of the yamen team laughed: "A frame-up? Is this steward saying that Mr. Yu and the governors and scholars in Fucheng are plotting against a student who has not yet finished the merit examination?"

You really dare to say it, your face is too big, right?

Is Gu Chengxian a genius? Is it worth so many famous people trying to frame him?

Li Zhuang glared at Li Bai fiercely, motioned for him to step aside, saluted to the head of the yamen office, and asked, "May I ask the head of the yamen why you came here?"

The head of the Yamen team said: "We are here to see Gu Chengxian, Gu Youlu, Qian Guangzong and his son, and we want to ask them about Chunfeng Tower."

When Mr. Li heard Qian Guangzong's name, he immediately looked at the head of the government office: "Qian Guangzong also participates?"

The head of the yamen team nodded: "Well, the four of them all slept with the sick Huaxian in Chunfeng Tower last night."

It's really tragic. Four people in the family were hit by the disease. This kind of luck is really unlucky.

Mr. Li gritted his teeth with hatred: "Qian Guangzong, I knew it was you and your son who led Chengxian into trouble!"

The head of the yamen team didn't care who was causing the trouble. He pointed to the two doctors behind him who were carrying medicine boxes and said, "These are the doctors who are here to take their pulses and check them. Where are Gu Chengxian and the others? Please take us to see him."

The medical clinic in Fucheng is now overcrowded. These two doctors relied on their connections with the yamen to get them from the Qingshan Medical Clinic.

Li Zhuang said: "Young Master Chengxian and the others haven't returned home yet."

The head of the government office frowned: "Not back yet? Where have they gone?"

Just as he was talking, a servant from the Li family came. He looked over and saw a group of government servants. He was a little scared, so he found Li Bai, who was not so busy, and whispered to him.

Li Bai was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "What did you say? Master Chengxian was helped back by Master Qian and the others. He looked like he was seriously ill!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Mr. Li, but also Butler Li, his own father, wanted to strangle him to death.

Li Bai, this idiot, couldn't you please lower your voice? By shouting like this, the government officials knew that Master Chengxian was back. How could Mr. Li deal with the officials?

The head of the Yamen team looked at Mr. Li, cupped his hands and said: "Sir Li, since Gu Chengxian is back, please let me lead someone to ask questions."

Mr. Li had a calm face, glanced at Queen Li, nodded and said, "Let's go together."

After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards Gu Chengxian's yard.

Li Zhuang, Zhu Wu, Butler Li, and Master Yue who rushed over hurriedly followed him, fearing that Mr. Li would do something reckless out of anger.

The head of the yamen team also hurriedly followed with the yamen and doctors.

The courtyard where Gu Chengxian lives is very quiet and suitable for studying. However, the courtyard is in a mess at the moment. Qian Guangzong and his son are greeting two rough ladies: "Hurry up and help Chengxian into the house."

While talking, the two of them covered their noses with their sleeves, as if they were afraid of being infected with the disease.

Gu Chengxian fainted for a while and was now very weak. He was staring at Qian Guangzong and his son half-deadly with a sullen face.

It was them, it was all their fault. If it weren't for them, how could he go to Chunfeng Tower? How could I sleep with a sick flower fairy!

His whole life has been ruined by them.
