Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 203

Compared to the calmness of Qianlian's family, Tao Zhili was a little flustered. He never expected that a yamen servant would send him to the county yamen for questioning.

For a moment, Tao Zhili didn't know what happened. At this time, he never thought that it was A Tao who ran to the county government to surrender himself.

Tao Heting was worried about Tao Zhili, so he followed him to the county government.

As soon as he arrived at the county government office and saw A Tao kneeling on the ground, Tao Zhili only felt his head buzzing. He was a little confused. Is it safe?Why is it only the second day...

Tao Zhili didn't dare to think about it, so he settled down and saluted Fang County Magistrate: "Student Tao Zhili has met you."

Tao Zhili is a scholar, he can see an official without kneeling, but he knows that this is a parent official, so he salutes very respectfully.

"Yeah." County magistrate Fang nodded solemnly: "Just wait here."

Before Tao Hechen arrived, Magistrate Fang was not in a hurry to hear the case.

Hearing what Magistrate Fang said, Tao Zhili didn't dare to say anything, so he stood aside respectfully, but the voices of the people watching outside the court reached his ears.

"Yo, this is Tao Zhili."

"It seems to be a talent."

"How can a scholar do such a wicked thing? It's really bad."

……

Tao Zhili's mind was buzzing, hearing what these people meant, did he already believe that he had done something bad?He peeked at A Tao who was kneeling on the ground, his heart beating like a drum.

The bottom of my heart began to calculate quickly.

Standing outside the courtroom, Tao Heting also heard the voices of the people discussing that he was younger, so he showed a bit of panic on his face, fearing that people would see him, he hurriedly lowered his head slightly.

At this moment, Tao Hechen arrived. He came to the courtroom, knelt on the ground and saluted the county magistrate, saying, "Student Tao Hechen has met your lord."

Seeing Tao Hechen, County Magistrate Fang's expression softened slightly, and he said, "You are a student who participated in the county examination this time, so don't kneel down, get up."

"Thank you sir."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, County Magistrate Fang looked at A Tao and asked, "You said that Tao Zhili encouraged you to spread rumors about Tao Hechen. Look to your left, but this is him."

Fang County Magistrate's words wiped out the last trace of luck in Tao Zhili's heart, and he heard A Tao who was beside him say affirmatively: "Master, this is the person who encouraged the villain to create rumors."

Tao Zhili hurriedly bowed to County Magistrate Fang and said, "My lord, the students have been wronged!"

"Wronged?" County magistrate Fang narrowed his eyes: "Just stand aside and listen to the testimony of witnesses to finish what they have said, and then say whether you have been wronged or not."

After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Fang ordered A Tao, "Just tell me what happened."

"Yes." A Tao hurriedly said: "The villain and Tao Zhili have known each other for a long time. A few days ago, Tao Zhili came to see the villain and invited the villain to have wine. During the wine, Tao Zhili complained to the villain After talking about unfairness or something, the villain is always willing to help friends, so he asked Tao Zhili what happened, and Tao Zhili said that Tao Hechen had only been in government school for two months, so he could come to take the county exam, and said... ...and said that Tao Hechen was relying on himself to design Zhou Muwen's students, and he must have come to take the county exam through the back door, saying that this would be unfair to other candidates."

"The villain got angry when he heard this, so he said he would teach Tao Hechen a lesson, but Tao Zhili said that this Tao Hechen is his own nephew after all, and no one can hurt him, but he can't just act like nothing happened. Exam, so Tao Zhili asked the villain to spread the news in the county, but he retreated. In addition, Tao Zhili gave the villain ten taels of silver, saying it was the villain's hard work, and then... ...then the villain spread the rumors."

After finishing speaking, A Tao kowtowed again and said, "Early this morning, the villain felt that something was wrong when he woke up, and he felt sorry, so he surrendered himself. I hope the adults will take the villain's surrender and give him a lighter sentence."

After finishing speaking, he raised the ten taels of silver in his hand above his head, and a government servant came over to take the silver, which was stolen money.

"You..." Tao Zhili was almost pissed off by A Tao, and he agreed face-to-face, and charged him ten taels of silver to finish the job, and then came to the county government to confess him, what did Tao Zhili think, They all felt that they were cheated by A Tao.

And Tao Hechen looked at Tao Zhili in surprise. He knew that the people in the old house didn't like their house, but he didn't expect Tao Zhili to want to ruin his future!

"Uncle, you actually did this!" Tao Hechen looked at Tao Zhili angrily, and said angrily.

"I'm going, but I'm still a relative!" The people who were watching were immediately blown away.

"My God, such a relative is too scary to stab a knife in the back."

"Not necessarily, maybe it's the relatives who know best, so let's just say it." There are also people who hold different opinions.

……

"Quiet!" County magistrate Fang slapped the gavel violently when he saw that the discussion outside the courtroom was getting louder.

The yamen servants on both sides then "might—wu—" stood up.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent.

"My lord, the student has been wronged!" Tao Zhili panicked and said hastily.

"Oh?" Magistrate Fang looked at Tao Zhili: "Tell me, how did he wrong you, and what did he say wronged you? Did you not encourage him to spread rumors, or did you not give him ten taels of silver?" ?”

"My lord, the student didn't let him spread rumors about Tao Hechen." Tao Zhili said hastily, "And the student didn't..."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhili suddenly paused, and then changed his words: "My lord, it was the student who asked A Tao to spread the rumors, and the ten taels of silver was also the student's reward for A Tao. The student was jealous of Tao Hechen for two I can come to take the county examination after a month of official school, I am afraid that he will be against me if he really becomes an official in the future, so the students want to teach him some lessons."

"So, you're saying that Tao Hechen took advantage of Zhou Xuesi to take part in the county examination?" County magistrate Fang asked, "Are you fabricating these words out of thin air?"

"Yes, that's what the students think." Tao Zhili replied honestly: "The students feel that Tao Hechen has only been in government school for two months, so it is impossible for him to have the level to take the county examination."

"Presumptuous!" County magistrate Fang slapped the gavel: "Slandering students who go to the exam for no reason, are you guilty?"

"My lord, the student is wrong!" Tao Zhili was taken aback and hurriedly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Zhili broke into a cold sweat from what he said just now. How could he have spoken out what was in his heart just now, and even admitted to spreading rumors.

How could this happen? He obviously didn't want to say it, so why did he say it?
Not only Tao Zhili was shocked, but Tao Heting who was standing outside the courtroom was also shocked, not understanding what happened to Tao Zhili.

Only Qianlian and Aman knew what was going on in the whole scene. Qianlian pursed her lips and smiled at Aman, and gave her a thumbs up quietly.

Satisfied, Aman glanced at Tao Zhili, with her Aman around, this guy would never want to lie.
