Wishful Things

Chapter 100 Confession

On the night of Yunjiao's birthday, Zhao Zhao once asked him about Uncle Zhou in the garden...

And the second son of the Xia family can be called cautious, how could the existence of the secret room in the other courtyard be known so easily!

Uncle Zhou knows where the other courtyard is...

In a short moment, Zhan Yunzhu thought a lot.

Zhao Zhao...

The exposure of this matter is most likely related to Zhao Zhao!

What was said in the garden that night may not have been a trap...

Zhan Yunzhu's eyes were extremely cold, and he couldn't help thinking of Liu Yi's death.

Maybe when he didn't realize it, Zhao Zhao was no longer the innocent, naive Zhao Zhao he had known all along...

This awareness made him unable to calm down.

"master!"

At this time, the door of the study was knocked again, and the servant's voice was relatively anxious: "An official came to the house and said that he wanted to ask the master to go to the yamen to answer."

Now everyone knows that the Yamen is hearing the case of the second son of the Xia family who abused a woman. At this time, the Yamen wants to invite their master to come over. It doesn't look like a good thing.

Zhan Qian got up, took a final deep look at his son with Hongji's eyes.

"Master Xia promised in the letter that he would try his best to take care of you, but his words cannot be trusted. To be safe, after the matter subsides, he will leave the capital with your mother and sister..."

He put down the letter in the book and said, "This letter, remember to burn it—"

Zhan Yunzhu didn't say a word, just stood there like a clay sculpture, watching Zhan Qian push the door out, and his back slowly disappeared outside the study.

Zhan Yunzhu stood in the study for a long time before leaving with heavy steps.

His mind was full of thoughts, and he had no time to think about where to go. He just followed his subconscious habits and returned to his courtyard step by step, and entered the study as usual.

On the desk, are the books that he had warmed up halfway today, and the pen and ink were neatly placed aside.

Zhan Yunzhu moved the corners of his mouth mockingly.

Qiu Wei...

Originally, he was going to participate in Qiu Wei in a few days.

Although he is modest to the outside world, he is very sure of passing the exam.

His future should have been bright...

But in just half a day, everything changed!

He who could have become an official by relying on his own talents, now needs to rely on the "care" of the second son of the Xia family to live - and what can the other party "care" for him?

Not to mention that the other party is unlikely to be so kind at all, let's just talk about one point-a son of a sinner is not worthy of taking the imperial examination and cannot be an official in the court!

This humiliating identity will follow him for the rest of his life, doomed to make him live like an ant!

Zhan Yunzhu stretched out his hand suddenly, and dropped the things on the desk to the ground.

Soon there was a mess in the study.

The servants guarding the corridor were as silent as cicadas, not daring to approach.

"Brother, I heard that my father was taken away by the people from the government. What's going on!" Zhan Yunjiao walked over quickly and asked anxiously. After seeing the situation in the study, his expression changed drastically.

Eldest brother usually doesn't even want his servants to tidy up the study room for him, organize the books, and arrange all the things by himself, what's going on now...

"What happened..." Zhan Yunjiao stepped into the study and asked nervously.

"roll."

The corner of the white robe was stained with ink, and Zhan Yunzhu propped his hands on the desk, his face was gloomy and no longer as warm as before.

"elder brother……"

Zhan Yunjiao was almost stunned.

Brother seems to be a different person...

"I tell you to go—"

Zhan Yunzhu raised his eyes to look at her, paused every word, and his voice was as cold as ice.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Zhan Yunjiao felt as if a big hand was tightly strangling her throat, and the great sense of fear made her back uncontrollably.

She exited the study, clenched her trembling hands, turned around and left the yard quickly.

Father was taken to the government...

Brother is also crazy!

The mother is still in the small Buddhist hall, she is going to find her mother!

...

In Xiyuan, Ah Kui came back from the outside quickly, and Xu Mingyi, who was sitting in the bedroom together in a trance, said: "Miss, Master Zhan was indeed taken away by the officials!"

At first, when the official came to Zhan's house, she told the girl about it, and the girl had this guess.

Xu Mingyi straightened her lips.

As expected, Xia Han was already prepared——

Once Zhan Qian has gone, it is impossible to come back.

The Zhan family was involved in the matter between Xu Ying and Qing's cousin, so they were not innocent, and they deserved the retribution.

But Xia Han wanted to use this deserved crime to defend himself against the crime, which was really a good idea.

"Azhu—"

"The servant girl is here."

"Send a few more people to the yamen to watch, and report the progress to me at any time." Xu Mingyi ordered.

Ah Zhu should "yes".

It was getting dark.

There are more and more common people outside Beijing Yamen, and those standing in the front row don't want to give up their seats and don't even go back for dinner.

Although there are countless new things in Beijing, it is extremely rare to meet such a big bustle like today.

No, the front foot is the young master of the Xia family, and the back foot is Mr. Zhan!

The servants in the other courtyard have already confessed, only saying that their master is Zhan Qian, and all things are secretly instigated by Zhan Qian.

As for the young master of the Xia family—he had never met him, let alone knew him.

A group of officials turned back and presented a box of physical evidence as they entered the hall.

"My lord, these were all found in the other courtyard of Qingyufang. The letters have been checked and compared, and it is indeed Mr. Zhan's handwriting."

Ji Dong took it and inspected it.

Hearing this, Zhan Qian in the hall looked at Xia Han who was standing aside from the corner of his eye, and felt a chill creeping up his back.

The other courtyard has been surrounded by people from the government. It is impossible for these 'material evidence' to be put in after the incident.

That is to say, even though the other party was sure that the matter would not be exposed, he still made preparations in advance to push him out if something happened...

Such scheming and scheming can't help but make people shudder.

At this time, another official sent back.

"My lord, the Ministry of Household Affairs has found out that the other courtyard is private property under the name of Mr. Zhan."

While speaking, he handed over a notebook.

After Ji Dong flipped through the pages, he looked at Zhan Qian in the hall: "Master Zhan, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhan Qian slowly lifted up his robe, knelt down, and said in a shameful tone, "The official was lost for a while, so he did such a wrong thing... I am really ashamed of the court and Your Majesty!"

This is an admission of guilt.

Ji Dong looked at him, and asked again: "Did the second son of the Xia family know about this matter? Is there any conspiracy with you?"

"My lord, this matter was done by the lower officials alone, and I dare not falsely accuse innocent people." Zhan Qian kowtowed his head deeply.

There was a discussion among the people.

It turns out that Young Master Xia is innocent!

But why did that Miss Xu identify Young Master Xia?

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on the slightly trembling woman who was a little unsteady in her sitting position.

Xu Ying sneered and said, "Of course I know who harmed me. Could it be that as a victim, my words are no match for these false witnesses!"

Hearing this, Zhan Qian hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.
