After the intimacy, Chen Yunyou took his wife's hand and walked to the backyard. At this time, both of their faces were slightly hot.

It's quite embarrassing.

At this moment, Song An suddenly called out to the two of them from behind. Both of them felt guilty, and not only did they not stop, they walked even faster.

Song An thought the two didn't hear it, so he trotted over to stop them.

Seeing his sister lowering her head and tiptoeing, he looked at his brother-in-law, "Why are you walking so fast?"

Chen Yunyou put his hand to his lips and coughed awkwardly, "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Song An immediately retracted his suspicious gaze, pointed to the door and said, "There are people sent by the government waiting outside!"

Song Xile suddenly raised his head, the couple looked at each other, and walked towards the front yard.

Chang Qing was already waiting at the door. When he saw the two people coming, he extended his hand and bowed to them.

"Mr. Chen, your wife reported to the government office a few days ago that someone tried to stop you from taking the college entrance examination. Today, the Lord will open the body for trial, and he forgot that you, as the victim, will come out to testify!"

Chen Yunyou responded, "Brother Changqing, wait a moment. We will get ready and then go out."

Chang Qing, "Then Mr. Chen, please prepare first. I still need to go to the inn to inform other students. After gathering everyone, I will come here to meet you."

Chen Yunyou naturally had no objection. After sending the people away, the couple started to get ready.

At this time in the government office, Governor Li was sitting at the top of the table, and on his left sat the magistrate of Nanyang County, Yang Shi.

He read the testimony in his hand with a serious expression, and realized that it was impossible for him to keep his son safe and sound.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything was clear.

Yang Shi stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of Li Zhifu, "Sir, please spare his life for the sake of this son of mine!"

Li Zhifu was very happy to see him humble himself, but he looked embarrassed.

"The impact of this incident is too bad, and it also involves a murder case. I'm afraid the students won't let it go!"

Seeing that he was shirking his responsibilities and refusing to express his opinion, Yang Shi became furious!

Although he was only a county magistrate, he had the support of the most favored Fourth Prince. Over the years, he had to beg for favors in a humble manner.

Yang Shi was about to threaten him but was stopped by his trusted advisor.

The master stepped forward and bowed to Li Zhifu, "Sir, my master doesn't recognize your words!"

"The person who died drank raw water in the examination room, which caused him to have diarrhea and die. What does that have to do with our young master?"

"Besides, a candidate died in the examination room. This is your fault. If you really want to investigate, how innocent are you?"

Li Zhifu's chest was heaving with anger. He slapped the desk beside him and scolded, "You are just making up stories and talking nonsense!"

The master knelt down in front of Magistrate Li, but still said calmly: "Sir, our master doesn't care about the college entrance examination. What he wants is very simple, he just wants to save the young master's life."

"Do you really want to fight to the death with our master?"

This is a naked threat!

If he didn't give Yang Ji a chance to live, they would fight him to the death.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill the man, but his reason told him that what the man said was true.

Seeing his master's chest heaving with anger, the confidant standing nearby quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "Your master is waiting in the lobby now, Lord Yang, do you want to go and take a look first?"

Yang Shi glanced at his own advisor and saw him nod, then he bowed to Magistrate Li.

He led his master away from the public housing in a very arrogant manner.

After the man left, Magistrate Li angrily smashed the teacup in his hand.

Lin Chengen stepped forward and advised: "Sir, calm down, and think about how to punish Yang Ji first!"

Li Zhifu glanced at his trusted staff and asked unwillingly, "Do you also think I should take a step back?"

Lin Chengen did not answer, but said: "You should know, sir, that death row prisoners need to be sent to the capital for review!"

In order to avoid wrongful convictions, all death row inmates in each state must be reported to the Ministry of Justice for a final review.

This case was sent to the capital. Regardless of whether Yang Ji would be sentenced to death, he would definitely be implicated!

Now that the Crown Prince is weak and the Fourth Prince is powerful, how can he take the initiative to hand over such a handle?

Li Zhifu pondered for a moment and then asked, "In your opinion, sir, how should I deal with Yang Ji?"

"In dealing with the Yang Ji incident, we must leave some room for maneuver and calm the anger of the students. Your Excellency might as well exile him directly to the border."

Magistrate Li had an idea and felt that there was no better punishment than this. Exile would be difficult, and even if the Yang family was powerful, Yang Ji's life would not be easy.

Soon, someone came to report that Changqing had arrived at the lobby with a group of victims.

Behind them followed a group of students who had heard about this incident. At this time, the outside of the government office was full of students watching.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Li immediately brought his men to the court.

In fact, the evidence in this case has already been proven, and the public trial now is just to give an explanation to many students.

At this time, Doctor Xu and Yang Ji's servants were kneeling in the hall.

Chen Yunyou and a group of victims stood on the left side of the lobby with their hands hanging down, waiting to be questioned by the adults.

Li Zhifu asked Lord Yang to sit down below him. Seeing that the plaintiff and the defendant were all present,

Immediately, the gavel was banged and the trial began!

"Who is this person in the hall, and what grievance have you suffered?"

Chen Yunyou and other students then presented their confessions.

All the evidence in the confession pointed to Yang Ji.

Li Zhifu snorted in his heart, and glanced at Yang Ji in the middle of the hall, questioning: "Yang Ji, someone accused you of deliberately drugging others and preventing them from taking the college entrance examination. Do you have anything to say?"

Yang Ji had already learned from his father that the evidence in this case was solid, and he was feeling terrified. He wanted to defend himself, but these things were indeed done by him.

In a panic, his eyes happened to glance at Jiang Nan who was standing by the door, and Yang Ji went crazy.

He rushed to the door like a madman, but was stopped by the quick-witted officer.

Seeing that he couldn't rush over, Yang Ji pointed at Jiang Nan at the door and cursed: "It's all you, you instigated me to do it! Otherwise, how could I think of drugging someone! You instigated me!"

County Magistrate Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Nan viciously!

Everyone looked towards Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan was panicking, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Yang? I was just lamenting that you suffered an unexpected disaster in your first provincial examination. When did I encourage you to drug your classmate?"

Yang Ji was filled with resentment at this moment, and regardless of anything, he pointed at Jiang Nan and angrily cursed: "You despicable villain, you are the one who instigated me, it's you!"

Magistrate Li frowned and slammed the gavel with a bang.

"Silence! You are not allowed to make noise in the hall!"

He looked at Yang Ji's servants with a cold gaze and asked, "Were any of you present at the time? Did you hear what Jiang Nan said to your young master?"

A long time has passed, and it was just a casual remark at the time. The servants only vaguely remembered that Jiang Nan told their young master that there were people in every dynasty who were unable to take part in the imperial examinations due to one accident or another.

Jiang Nan's face was livid, and he tried to excuse himself by saying, "Sir, is it illegal for a student to say this?"

It was indeed not against the law, but everyone's eyes on Jiang Nan changed. Many people began to whisper. At least in this matter, Jiang Nan was not as innocent as he looked.

Li Zhifu slammed the gavel to signal everyone to be quiet.

Then he looked at the victimized students, "Do you have any demands?"
