Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Mr. Song is right. Anyone with a brain would not choose to solve problems through fighting and violence.

Isn’t this situation now a good reflection of this?

Zhang Yue had only two choices.

Either get out of the barracks or choose to accept tattooing and nose cutting.

In short, Zhang Yue had no choice but to get out of the military camp.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jie felt that the sky was a little bluer and his mood became much better.

"Say it to me again if you dare!"

After hearing the last sentence, Zhang Yue couldn't help it and clenched his hands at his sides into fists.

If Xuyuan hadn't been here, he would have rushed up already.

"Cousin." Xu Yuan stood in front of Zhang Yue and said calmly, "Why are you trying to reason with me?"

"Xu Yuan, he is simply going too far!" Zhang Yue felt that he could not swallow that.

"There is something very important right now." Xu Yuan stopped Zhang Yue and looked at Cheng Jie and asked, "You said my cousin stole your money. Do you have any evidence?"

"The evidence is right next to your feet." Cheng Jie looked at Xu Yuan with confidence.

"Oh."

Xu Yuan lowered his head and looked at the purse carefully.

There was only small change in there, less than ten taels in total.

She picked up the purse and smelled it again.

Seeing this, Cheng Jie couldn't help but say, "Stop pretending. Do you think you can solve the case just because you are the Supreme Court Judge?"

"That's hard to say." Xu Yuan smiled slowly.

In her previous life, after she came to Beijing, she tried every means to enter the Imperial College.

Then I started to contact people from Dali Temple.

In Tianqi, if a person without official status commits a crime, his case will generally be tried by the local county government. If he has official status, his case will be transferred to the Dali Temple.

The Xu family had an official position up to the prime minister.

The case at that time was considered the biggest case since the founding of Tianqi.

The Dali Temple is responsible for the investigation, case handling and file management.

Therefore, Xu Yuan figured it out from the beginning that the most important thing to overturn the Xu family's case was to go to the Dali Temple and get the case files.

To this end, Xu Yuan put a lot of effort into it. It was at that time that she met the Imperial Censor Wei Chenyi.

However, she did not expect that Wei Chenyi, who was in charge of supervising all civil and military officials, was the culprit.

Xu Yuan came back to his senses, took another look at the purse, and said, "I've read it. This silver belongs to my cousin. Is it stealing to leave your own silver on your bed?"

"I bother!"

Even though Cheng Jie thought of countless possibilities, he never thought that Xu Yuan would say this.

"This silver is obviously mine. It was Zhang Yue who stole my things. Not only do you deny it, but you also want to keep the silver. You brothers are really a bunch of snakes and rats, working together for evil!"

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that this silver is yours?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Cheng Jie calmed down and said, "There is a word Cheng embroidered inside the purse, which proves that it is my purse."

"Oh, then I would like to ask, where is your purse?"

"Of course I keep it close to my body."

"If it was kept close to you and stolen, how come you didn't find out until now? How did you find out? And how can you be sure that it was my brother who took it?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Cheng Jie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When I went to bed, I took out the purse and put it under the pillow. I went out in the morning and found that the purse was missing when I came back. I guessed that Zhang Yue must have stolen it, so I asked people to go to Zhang Yue's tent together, and sure enough, he was caught red-handed."

Cheng Jie spoke very fluently.

He had already memorized these words by heart.

After these few times, Cheng Jie finally understood something: Zhang Yue was easy to fool, but Xu Yuan was not.

If he couldn't explain the whole thing, he really wouldn't know what to do with Zhang Yue.

"That means you were not in your tent the whole time, but went out for a while. You and my brother both came here yesterday. How do you know where Zhang Yue's tent is?"

"I asked someone."

"Okay, you asked someone, so I want to ask you something. The divisions of the tents are all unified. How did Zhang Yue know your tent? Did he go to ask where you live and then steal your money? Cheng Jie, if you were the thief, would you feel that you were too stupid?"

Before she finished her wish, she looked at Cheng Jie and continued, "If my brother accidentally knew where you lived, and accidentally learned that you had silver, and saw you put the silver under your pillow, then I would like to ask, there are ten people in one tent, twenty people in two tents, plus the people who patrol back and forth, there must be at least thirty or forty people, where are the witnesses?"

"Yeah, where's the witness?"

"I can testify for this brother. He has never left. He must have been framed!"

"I also think that he was framed. Isn't this frame-up method too low-level?"

"Yeah, if I have to fight with people like this in the future, I have to be on guard against people stabbing me in the back, right?"

"Don't mention it, I'm afraid of this too!"

……

Listening to the gossip around him, Cheng Jie's face immediately changed, "Xuyuan, you are talking nonsense! If you have the ability, prove that your brother didn't steal anything!"

"That's so easy." Xu Yuan smiled confidently and said, "Cheng Jie, do you know that there is a saying that goes 'you're shooting yourself in the foot'?"

Cheng Jie was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the original purpose of this purse should be to store spices, right?"

Xu Yuan gently pinched the purse in his hand and said, "I noticed before that you always think of yourself as a modest gentleman, so you put perfume sachets on yourself like a woman. Don't deny it, I smelled it just now."

After making a wish, he raised his hand and said, "Now that I have touched this sachet, I wonder if that brother is willing to be a witness and smell the scent on my hand and the scent on the sachet to see if they are the same?"

As soon as the wish was made, someone said, "I'll do it."

That person took the purse and smelled it, then smelled the hand that made the wish, and then went to Zhang Yue. Finally, he said, "There is no fragrance on Zhang Yue's hand! He has never touched the purse."

Hearing these certain words, Cheng Jie's face turned pale, and he said stubbornly: "Maybe, maybe Zhang Yue cleaned his hands."

"Why, you don't even know what you put in your sachet? Besides, according to what you said, my brother took this sachet away not long ago. Why don't I clean my hands now and let someone smell it first?"

Xu wished for Cheng Jie, his eyes full of coldness.

"You..." Cheng Jie didn't dare to speak.

He didn't dare to really let Xuyuan wash his hands.

Because Zhang Yue really didn't touch the purse from beginning to end.

No one would believe him even if he tried to argue.

Seeing Cheng Jie didn't say anything, Xu Yuan threw the purse over and said, "Cheng Jie, next time, you'd better use less of this kind of despicable tricks. Otherwise, I will make you regret it every time I see you."
