Ji Xingxuan's eldest maid Yunhe was asked by Guo Huai'an whether the Huangshuang Stone was used by Ji Xuan to exchange Yunhua Yizi's test papers with Yu Shu. She looked at him hastily and said quickly: "Sir, what is Yunhe?" The slave has never heard of Hua Yizi's examination paper. The slave only knows that the stone was stolen while the lady was shopping. ""Bang" "You are brave, you dare to lie in front of me," Guo Huai. An looked sternly and patted down the gavel in his hand. Yun He was so frightened that he was shocked. He lowered his head and said bravely: "My lord has been wronged. I dare not lie." Guo Huaian ignored her and turned his gaze to her. Yu Shu: "Miss Yu, tell me, how did you get the Huangshuang Stone back from Ji Xingxuan?" Yu Shu had been waiting to speak, so he took a step forward and said seriously: "Master Bing, students really don't dare to hide it. Last November, when the Dayan Examination was about to take place, I asked a friend from Taishi to take me into Tibet, where I met Miss Ji Si and another female student from Shuyuan. According to the regulations, outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the hiding place. I was afraid that being seen by them would harm my friends, so I hid in a corner and wanted to wait for them to leave before I came out. Unexpectedly, the two of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets." Yu Shu first told in detail how she After getting Yunhua Yizi's paper among the past examination papers, she accidentally saw the yellow frost stone Ji Xingxuan was wearing, and then talked about how she exchanged it for the yellow frost stone: "Although the yellow frost stone was owned by Daozi, at that time He lost his memory, and I don¡¯t know how it fell into the hands of others. For safety reasons, we couldn¡¯t ask Miss Ji in person, but I also knew that this thing was very important to Daozi and needed to be retrieved as soon as possible, so I thought of using Go exchange that paper with Miss Ji." Guo Huai'an frowned and asked, "How did you know that they would exchange the test paper with you? This matter of stealing questions is private. How did you know about it at that time? The test paper of Hua Yizi is from this year's Dayan test?" Yu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "To tell you what to say, the students didn't know that it was this year's test question at first, but they just saw them in Zang looking for it anxiously that day, so they thought it was Important things¡€Later, I heard from a friend that this Yizi examination paper was the only one in his collection. Plus, there was an old example of personally writing and correcting the questions, so I thought that this might be an exam question this year, so So I tentatively wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to Miss Ji, claiming that I had the Yunhua Yizi exam paper she was looking for, and asked her to exchange it at Changchunfang on Kunyuan Street at noon the next day. As expected, she came that day. I came to answer the appointment, but I didn¡¯t show up. Instead, I wrote a note asking her to put the yellow frost stone in an old beggar¡¯s begging bowl, and took it away while the chaos was happening. At the same time, I asked Daozi to hand the paper to Miss Ji. " Guo Huai. An turned around and asked Jing Chen: "Daozi, did you personally hand over your father's examination paper to Miss Ji?" At this point, everyone was reminded of Jing Chen's identity. It was a coincidence that he was Without knowing it, he handed over his father's exam papers from previous years to others. "Exactly, I still remember that it was raining that day. I wore a bamboo hat to cover my face and handed her the umbrella with the test papers hidden in it." Jing Chen recalled truthfully. Ji Xingxuan, who had been kneeling in silence, suddenly raised his head and looked at Jing Chen with an ugly face. She also remembered the scene when he handed an umbrella in the rain that day. At that time, she thought it was a kind intention, but she would have killed them today. . She turned around and looked at everyone in the hall, but no one could speak for them. The Ninth Prince, who had promised her yesterday to help her, had not shown up yet for some reason. She felt that she had no choice but to find herself in such a state of despair when she saw him standing in front of her again. Yu Shu, who used to be dependent on others and had no one to rely on, but now is well-dressed and enters the house, has nothing but hatred. After Guo Huai'an asked Jing Chen, he went to ask Xue Rui and another Shaoqing who were sitting aside to listen to the trial: "Have you ever checked whether the questions in the astrology section of this year's Dayan exam are the ones from Yun Hua Yi twenty years ago?" The same person who passed the Dayan exam?" "The same question as before." Guo Huaian read the record and asked Ren Qiming, the juror sitting on his left: "Ren Shaojian, are the questions in the astrology subject of this year's Dayan examination really based on Yunhua Yizi's answer sheet?" ?" Ren Qiming said with an expressionless face: "Before the exam started, apart from the big points, the answer to this subject should only be known to the person who was responsible for storing Yi Zi's exam paper and the paper. " Guo Huaian asked. "Which adult is responsible for storing the examination papers?" "It is the late Mr. Qin Fangguan who was the right commander of the former Si Tianjian." Hearing that the person had passed away, Guo Huai'an frowned, thinking that Ji Huaishan was really a thief. It is impossible for one person to solve this problem. Since the case is handed over to him for trial, it is necessary to find out all the people involved, instead of just convicting Ji Huaishan and letting others run away. With this in mind, he was not in a hurry to show the physical evidence obtained from Si Tianjian. In order to arrest officials involved in fraudAfter finishing the beating, Guo Huaian's face became a little more stern. He turned around and looked at his grandfather and grandson kneeling on the ground. Instead of asking Ji Huaishan directly, he asked Ji Xingxuan coldly: "Ji Xingxuan, what Daozi and Miss Yu said You've heard it all, why don't you recruit me truthfully? Did you know this year's test questions a long time ago, so you were willing to exchange treasures such as yellow frost stone for the test paper? I want to ask you, who went to hide the test paper with you that day? The lady from which family? Does she also know the test questions this year?" "My lord, I'm wronged." Before Ji Xingxuan could say anything, the maid Yunhe who was eager to protect him suddenly shouted, knelt on the ground, and defended hurriedly: "Our lady In addition to going to Shuyuan on weekdays, I rarely go anywhere else. Changchunfang is a vegetable market. How can it be a place where our young lady would go? She has never been there at all, let alone any of Yi Zi¡¯s exam papers. I have heard that it was clearly Yu Shu and Daozi who conspired to accuse our master and young lady of their innocence." "Pa" "Screaming" is the most taboo thing in court. As soon as she finished shouting, Guo Huaian turned dark. He slapped the table and said, "I'm asking your lady, why do you need to answer for me? If you make any louder noises, I'll slap your mouth and won't back down." Yun He looked angrily and wanted to argue, but Ji Xingxuan called her in a low voice. He said, "Yun He, shut up." Yun He bit his lip and closed his mouth unwillingly. He didn't forget to give Yu Shu a hard look before stepping back. Yu Shu secretly rolled his eyes: Why are you glaring at me? It's not that I don't let you speak. I just want you to shout a few more words to make people slap you. "Sir," Ji Xingxuan knelt forward for two steps and raised his head. His pale face was full of bitterness: "I passed the Dayan Examination in the ninth year of Zhaoqing. I passed the astrology subject and got a hundred yuan. I was selected to be admitted to the Taishi Book Garden. After studying hard for three years, I shamelessly boast that among the students in Taishi Shuyuan, there are only two people around me who can surpass me in this subject of astrology. When it comes to the examination room, how many can compare with me? Well, let me ask, why does my grandfather need to take the risk to steal the questions? Why do I need to cheat?" Ji Xingxuan said this cleverly - she did not directly deny cheating, but proved from another aspect that she did not need to cheat. If there was no other evidence, Guo Huaian might have believed her words a little bit, but with the solid evidence in hand, what she said now sounded like sophistry to his ears. As mentioned before, Guo Huaian is the interrogator known as "White Yama", and his methods are naturally not gentle. He immediately lowered his face, pulled out a fire stick from the red dragon tube on the case, and shouted coldly: "There are two testimonies. , but you still want to lie, it seems that you are just taking a chance. If someone comes, he will use his finger to torture you." After saying this, he threw the fire stick in his hand on the ground. The official in the hall responded. Ji Huaishan and Ji Xingxuan both looked shocked. This attack What is a finger? It is a kind of torture tool made of five pieces of wood to clamp the fingers. Two of them are used in a set. They are specially used to torture female prisoners. The ten fingers are connected to the heart. You can imagine the pain. Women lack endurance and often pinch. After fingering, if you confess truthfully, there are those who can endure it. After that, the finger will be useless, and the bones will hurt every year, and you can't even lift a pen to write. Yu Shu saw the frightened expressions of the two men. At first he didn't know what kind of punishment he would be punished for, but when he saw the official bring out the wooden clamp, he saw its use. At that time, he really wanted to raise his head and laugh. What is this called? It was such a bad retribution. One of her fingers was twisted off that day and she almost died from the pain. Today, Ji Xingxuan wants to have a taste of it. The officer took the instrument of torture and pulled Ji Xingxuan. He couldn't help but grab her arm and try to put a clamp on it. Ji Xingxuan had already panicked. When she saw the blood on her finger, she seemed to smell something fishy, ??she felt her ears were wet and her face was full of tears. He was so frightened that he was trembling all over, and he even forgot to struggle. "Sir, please wait a minute, please don't use the punishment." Ji Huaishan panicked and struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Guo Huaian, stretched out his hands and pressed them in the air, then clasped his hands together and bowed, begging for mercy, but Guo Huaian didn't do anything. Moved, she glanced at him and ordered in a cold voice: "Be tortured." The officer was used to doing this. In a blink of an eye, he put the torture instrument on her fingers. Without even saying hello, he pulled hard from left to right. "Ah" Ji Xingxuan screamed in pain on the spot, and suddenly shrank his shoulders, his face was completely drained of blood, tears welled up in the next moment, and his beautiful eyes instantly lost their luster. ??Yu Shu looked at her life-threatening state, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He turned his head and stopped looking. His right hand touched the little finger of his left hand that was wrapped and still unconscious, and he darkened his eyes. At this time, Ji Huaishan suddenly had a fit, crawled forward two steps, pushed the guards, and stopped in front of Ji Xingxuan, blocking the execution. "My lord, my lord, have mercy, cough cough," Ji Huaishan was in tears at this time, his face was withered, he protected the frightened Ji Xingxuan with one arm, and while coughing, he cried hard: "The official is here, the officer is here. ".
