Chapter 10 Please Go Drink Tea

For the past two days, Shen Yi has been lying in the prison. The people in the county government knew that if he beat him again, he would definitely be beaten to death. The magistrate Feng was also worried that he would be held responsible for killing someone, so he did not interrogate him again.

During the past two days, Shen Yi has been thinking about ways to exonerate himself.

He inherited all the memories of the other Shen Yi, or he and the other Shen Yi have become one person, so he naturally knows his current situation clearly.

The four people including Fan Dongcheng are the second generation in Jiangdu city. Among them, Fan Dongcheng's family background is the best. His fifth uncle is the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the capital. In addition, the recent generations of the Fan family have frequently produced talents, so they have great influence in Jiangdu.

Although this person was the main culprit who killed Chen Qing and framed Shen Yi, but Shen Yi wanted to protect himself and get out of the prison, so he couldn't fight them to the death, he could only compromise temporarily.

As long as Fan Dongcheng is taken out of this matter, the resistance to Shen Yi's escape will be suddenly reduced. If Lu Anshi puts some pressure on the yamen, then Shen Yi may have the possibility of escape.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Anshi, who was sitting in front of Shen Yi, couldn't help frowning. He looked at the young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old in front of him, and said slowly, "I will test you."

"Cultivate virtue and cultivate virtue."

Shen Yi said helplessly, "Get rid of the evil and deal with the basics."

He looked at Lu Anshi, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Shan Zhang, the students also understand that they should not tolerate evil, but in the current situation, they have to protect themselves, and the elimination of evil can only be left to the future."

"Things can be done according to scriptures, or according to power."

Shen Qilang looked at Lu Anshi, and cupped his hands again: "The head of the mountain should understand this truth better than the students."

"It's rare."

Lu Anshi stretched out his hand and patted the palm of his hand lightly, and couldn't help admiring: "At your age, you can see things so clearly, even more thoroughly than this old man who has lived most of his life."

Lu Anshi stood up from the chair, walked towards the prison door, and said softly: "Tell me, what should I do specifically?"

"If it can be done, the old man will try his best to do it for you."

Shen Yi was waiting for this sentence.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said in a low voice: "When the county government interrogates next time, the student can change his confession and tell the county magistrate that it is indeed only one person who beat Chen Qing, but that person is not a student." .”

Master Lu frowned: "Who should that be?"

"Qian Tong!"

Qian Tong is one of the four members of Fan Dongcheng's gang, and also the lowest in the gang.

Fan Dongcheng and other four people, besides Fan Dongcheng, the other three are Ma Jun, Luo Maocai, and this Qian Tong.

Among them, Ma Jun is the son of a merchant, and his father is one of the richest people in Jiangdu. Jun is also the sponsor of the four of them's daily activities, and most of the expenses are borne by this rich second generation.

And Luo Maocai was also from a gentry family. One of his cousins ​​was a magistrate in a southeast prefecture, and his family belonged to the upper middle class among the gentry in Jiangdu, so he was quite powerful.

Only Qian Tong's family background is relatively the lowest. There is an uncle in the family who is a county magistrate, and he is still in a middle county in the west.

Therefore, Qian Tong has the lowest status among the four, playing the role of a younger brother, and he does all the dirty work on weekdays.

Also because of this, when beating Chen Qing that day, it was Qian Tong who worked the hardest, and almost all of the heavy hands were hit by him.

Lu Anshi devoted himself to his studies. For Fan Dongcheng and the other four, he knew about Fan Dongcheng's family background. The other three knew little about it, so they looked at Shen Yi with some doubts.

Shen Yi was full now, and his body gradually gained strength. He stood at the gate of the prison, explained to Lu Anshi the family background of the four people, and then said in a low voice: "Master Shan, among the four people, only Qian Tong is alone and weak, if he is pushed out to confess his crime, the other three families will not say anything more, as for the Fan family..."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Fan Shilang has just turned fifty this year. Although Jin Shilang is only a few years old, there is still the possibility of climbing the officialdom, and the Fan family can't do whatever they want with his power. They We must also take into account Fan Shilang's official voice."

Fan Dongcheng is a typical dude, so he often flaunts that he has an uncle of the servant, and he mentions it every now and then in the academy, so even Shen Yi has some basic understanding of that uncle of the servant.

He paused and continued.

"If this matter can be reduced to a minor one, the Fan family will not disagree."

Master Lu frowned again.

"They teamed up to trap you because your Shen family is weak. If we pull him out to talk back because of the weak power of the Qian family, how is it different from those of the Fan family?"

"Naturally there is a difference."

Shen Yi lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Shan Zhang, this Qian Tong is indeed one of the murderers. Chen Qing's death is inseparable from him, and the student was framed and falsely accused out of thin air!"

Having said that, Shen Yi paused, and said in a low voice: "Furthermore, this is just a stopgap measure."

"In the future, the other three murderers will definitely not be able to escape Heaven's punishment!"

Shen Yi gritted his teeth when he said this.

Lu Anshi seemed to have heard something. He looked at Shen Yi, was silent for a while, and sighed: "Forget it, child, I will try my best to mediate this matter for you. If you can get rid of the crime, you can study hard in the academy and pass the exam in the future." Fame, benefit one party, don't want to..."

"Don't make trouble out of it."

What Shen Yi meant was that after he was exonerated in the future, he would not let Fan Dongcheng and the other three go, but Lu Anshi told him to stop this idea.

Among other things, a Fan Shilang is an unattainable mountain.

The imperial court conducts a scientific examination every three years, and only [-] to [-] Jinshi are admitted in one scientific examination.

And one hundred Jinshi may not be able to be a servant.

The six servants may not sound so conspicuous in a place like the capital, but in a place like Jiangdu, it is a huge monster that has no boundaries.

The magistrate of Jiangdu Prefecture is the heaven of Jiangdu Prefecture, so this Fan Shilang is the sky covered in the sky. His level of heaven is not too far away from the emperor in the Jiuzhong Heaven.

From an ordinary person's point of view, what Lu Anshi said is naturally correct. If an ordinary person can live and work in peace, of course there is no reason to go against a servant or the servant's family, but Shen Yi is different.

He is no longer the young man he used to be.

For him, in this day and age, anything is possible.

But at the moment, of course, you can’t say the kind of 30-year-old Hedong 30-year-old Hexi second-year speech, and it will only make people laugh. Shen Qilang bowed his head to Lu Anshi and said: "Don't worry, the leader of the mountain, the students understand."

"Well."

Lu Anshi slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "Since it is a case that happened in the academy, then I will contact Fan's family in the past two days and deal with it properly."

Shen Yi in the cell smiled slightly and said: "Shan Zhang, from the students' point of view, since you have come to this prison today, there is no need for you to contact the Fan family. The Fan family will take the initiative to contact you."

Lu Anshi narrowed his eyes, and was about to speak when there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Soon, a thin middle-aged man trotted all the way to Lu Anshi.

It is the master of the Jiangdu county government, Master Deng.

Master Deng came all the way in front of Lu Anshi, bowed his head respectfully to Lu Anshi, bowed his hands and saluted: "Master Lu, I may have found you."

Lu Anshi had already stood up now, he looked back at Master Deng, and asked, "Why are you looking for this old man?"

Master Deng smiled all over his face and said with a smile: "Master, the prefect Chen asked me to invite you to Wanghu Tower for tea."
