Yuan Fang's book boy quickly found the manuscript, and Zhou Zhifu, Wen Sheng and others briefly read it. As Yuan Fang said, his miscellaneous notes recorded many stories of demons and ghosts.

There are those who repay kindness, those who harm others, and those who talk about karma, but these are just strange stories, which are not uncommon.

Ou Dunyi saw these manuscripts like falling into an ice cave, no, this is wrong, Yuan Fang specially emphasized those stories to him!

He hurriedly went to see the scholars who often hang out with them, but they looked at him with disgust and testified for Yuan Fang one after another.

Looking at this scene, Ou Tongpan couldn't help closing his eyes, he knew that this nephew was done.

Ou Dunyi's criminal evidence was conclusive, but he could not provide Yuan Fang's criminal evidence. Zhou Yi glanced at him and made up his mind. He was about to close the case when Gu Jingyun asked Ou Dunyi, "Master Ou, you said you were pushed by Mr. Yuan?" Yes, then do you remember when you first heard a similar story, who was present at that time, and how many stories did Young Master Yuan tell?"

Ou Dunyi was a little disheartened, but he still thought about it carefully and said: "I remember that it was not long after the college examination results were released. I got together with my classmates to talk about geniuses from all over the world." Ou Dunyi pointed to the few people in the hall and said: "They were all present at the time, which can be proved. We said that there are many talents in Shandong and Jiangnan. I am afraid that the students from these two places will be the top students in Chunwei next year. He said that we in Guangdong will also have many talents this year. Maybe we can be in Chunwei. Compete for a good ranking.”

"We are all going to participate in Qiuwei this year. Having said that, I can't help counting the talented students. He sighed repeatedly that he is not as good as them. I don't know if I can get it this year. I went to the latrine halfway, and he followed me. On the way He sighed with me, saying that I shouldn't have given up my qualifications for the exam last year, because the competition in this class is obviously much fiercer than last year. I was full of confidence, but I felt apprehensive when I heard him say that, so I went back to the banquet He was a little out of his mind. At this time, he jokingly said that we should be careful not to be calculated by others. He also said that some students with outstanding literary talents in the imperial examinations of the past dynasties would always have accidents."

Ou Dunyi said in detail: "Everyone can't help asking, so he told us a story about a fox demon and a scholar, saying that the fox demon was afraid that the scholar would abandon her after he passed the imperial examination, so she cast a spell on the scholar to make him suffer from diarrhea before entering the examination room. and miss the exam."

"I went home from a banquet afterwards, but in the car he told me with a serious face that this was a real story, and he was just warning everyone in the name of a demon, so I should be careful not to follow other people's ways." Ou Dunyi sneered , "I have taken the exam twice, and I have never heard of such a thing, let alone encountered it. Naturally, I didn't take it to heart, but he repeatedly said afterwards that this kind of thing is very common, but I didn't know it."

"Unfortunately, when he said these words to me, no third person was present, or there was only a book boy by my side, which cannot prove it." Ou Dunyi looked at Yuan Fang with a very ugly expression, "Now it seems that he is calculating of."

He laughed miserably, "I admit that I did this. I'm afraid I will die. Yuan Fang can be regarded as my close friend. We have been studying together since he came to my house when he was twelve years old. Why should I want to kill him? Even if it turns out that he gave me the idea, it is true that I personally bribed people to harm others, and the crime will not be lessened, so why should I drag him into the water?"

He looked at Yuan Fang with a sinister gaze, and said word by word: "Just because what I said is true, Yuan Fang, although I have no evidence, but you and I understand the root cause of all these things in our hearts."

The smile on Yuan Fang's face couldn't be maintained, and everyone looked at Yuan Fang with suspicion, even the classmates who believed in him at the beginning also looked at him suspiciously.

Because Yuan Fang and Ou Dunyi lived together, it would be easier for them to say something in private.

Gu Jingyun glanced at Yuan Fang, and Ou Dunyi was smart enough to follow his question and show weakness to pull Yuan Fang down.

They did not have any evidence to prove that Yuan Fang was involved, but only based on Ou Dunyi's words, Yuan Fang will always live in this kind of suspicion.

And this is the reason for his future shot.

Even if Yuan Fang doesn't go to jail, he can still make it difficult for him.

Gu Jingyun and Wen Sheng looked at each other, knowing that there would be nothing to come out of the trial, so he stepped forward and said, "My lord, we have no problem, I just hope you will listen to the wishes of the students before making a judgment."

Zhou Yi shook his beard and said, "Say it."

"My lord, the candidates selected by Ou Dunyi are all poor students from low and low families. It is not easy to take an exam."

The scholars behind Gu Jingyun all blushed and bowed their heads. They felt that it was embarrassing to raise the compensation in public, but they were unwilling to ask Ou Dunyi about his crimes. Besides, Brother Wen emphasized again and again that they deserved it.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are not the ones who made this request, but Gu Jingyun and Wen Sheng. They can be less shameful.

Wen Sheng's face was also reddish, but he still raised his head to look at Zhou Yi frankly.

In contrast, Gu Jingyun was much more indifferent, standing in the hall and said confidently: "For example, students who come to Guangzhou to participate in the township examination have to prepare for travel expenses, boat fare, board and lodging expenses, as well as pen and ink expenses, medical expenses, etc., students The family is not poor, but going out for a trip is very traumatic, almost bringing all the family wealth, not to mention other people in the same year, some people even have to borrow money to take the exam."

"It was Ou Dunyi's fault alone that they wasted three years. Besides physical and mental trauma, they had to take another rural exam," Gu Jingyun said pitifully, "Some of them prepared for this provincial exam for many years in the same year, and they want to do it again next time." We don't know when the travel expenses will be paid, so the students boldly ask the adults to make the decision for us, calculate our losses, and ask Odunyi to compensate for it."

Gu Jingyun once again took himself as an example, "For example, students, students are lucky, and they were lucky enough to take part in the rural examination, so he does not need to compensate for the expenses of the rural examination, but the students were repeatedly frightened, and so much time wasted on this case, and the traveling expenses during the period were frightened. However, he has to pay for fees and lost wages.”

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. This, is this still a scholar?

How can you fall in the eyes of money and smell of copper all over your body?

Ou Tongsan had a bad intuition, and said with a stern face, "It's ridiculous. Ou Dunyi breaks the law and has his own legal reference judgment, but this kind of compensation is unheard of."

Gu Jingyun looked at him with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard about Ou Tongjuan, just listen to it now. You think we are making trouble unreasonably because you are also one of the defendants. As the plaintiff, we naturally think it should be taken for granted."

"And the final verdict is up to Mr. Zhou."

Ou Tongpan was so angry that his face turned red, "How can I be the defendant, what nonsense!"

"As far as I know, the Ou family has not separated. According to the "Great Chu Law", in a civil compensation case, the defendant's inability to pay compensation shall be borne by his family. If Ou Dunyi's property is sufficient, it has nothing to do with Ou Tong's judgment. If it is not enough, of course It's related to the Ou Tong Judgment."

Gu Jingyun gave Wen Sheng a wink, and Wen Sheng immediately took out a large piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Yi, "Master Zhou, this is calculated by the students. If there is any gap, please fill it in."

Zhou Yi unfolded it, saw the densely packed accounts on it, and then looked at the figure that needed to be paid in the end. He felt dizzy for a while. He glanced at Ou Tongpan sympathetically, and then at the twenty or so poor students below, hesitating for a while. I don't know how to judge.

The master moved over in small steps from behind, and gave him some advice in a low voice, "My lord, this is a civil part, it's better to postpone the sentence, and give a criminal sentence today."

Zhou Zhifu nodded again and again, and the gavel gave a verdict.

Ou Dunyi disrupted the order of Qiu Wei, and the evidence of buying the murderer was conclusive. He was indirectly responsible for Chang Kuan's death, so he got rid of all the fame and fame on his body, rode a hundred sticks, and exiled three thousand miles without returning for the rest of his life.

Xu Wu was sentenced to one hundred sticks and three years in prison for wounding others.

Dr. Wu was given the heaviest sentence, with fifty sticks and beheaded after three years.

When Wen Sheng and others heard the verdict, their faces were a little ugly, and they were only sentenced to exile.

Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly at Wen Sheng, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Zhou Zhifu took advantage of the situation and said: "Put Ou Dunyi and others back in prison, and the civil case of compensation will be retrialed and resigned."

Wen Sheng shook off Gu Jingyun's hand, and asked angrily, "Why did you stop me?"

Gu Jingyun narrowed his eyes and said: "Exile is not lighter than cutting Lijue, but I think exile is more suitable for him."

Wen Sheng was not convinced.

"Three thousand miles is to go to Kaipingwei. There is a border, there are wars from time to time, let alone how long he can live, do you know what is the most painful thing for exiles?" Gu Jingyun said softly: " It's a hopeless, hopeless life, and sometimes death is a luxury."

Wen Sheng was stunned, and couldn't help frowning slightly when he remembered Gu Jingyun's hometown.

Qiongzhou is a place of exile, people from the north flow south, and people from the south flow north. He has long felt that it is strange that Gu Jingyun speaks standard Mandarin while living in the south, but if he often contacts the exiles from the north, it will make sense.

Wen Sheng thought about it for a while, and he reluctantly agreed with his statement, and then began to worry, "Will Mr. Zhou agree to the compensation we proposed?"

Gu Jingyun said meaningfully: "Yes."

Of course the prefect Zhou would agree, anyway, the compensation is not his money, as long as it can appease the anger of the scholars, of course, the compensation is compensation, but it is impossible to pay so much.

After Zhou Zhifu went back, he carefully looked at the densely packed compensation items and amounts, ordered some mental damage fees and said: "Who thought of this, it's too cruel, and each person has to pay two hundred taels for this item alone. Twenty-four people is four thousand eight hundred taels."

The master also watched from the sidelines, and said in admiration: "These names are simply more ruthless than exorbitant taxes."

His eyes moved down, and he couldn't help but let out a "huh", "Look, my lord, there is also Chang Kuan's name."

Zhou Yi hurriedly looked at it, and after seeing the compensation items and amounts above, he couldn't help sighing, "Others pay it back, but Chang Kuan's compensation is not too much. You came to participate in the provincial examination, but you lost your life."

Zhou Yi lost his mood immediately, threw the paper away, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, how much should you pay? Let the Ou family go and argue with them. The list will be released tomorrow, and I really don't have the mood to clean up the mess for them. "
