After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Liang Jingtian sighed deeply again, frowning and looking into the distance. Could it be that they were the ones who did what happened to Lu Gongqing? If so, they were too reckless...

Mr. Zichun from the government school waited for Mr. Lu to reply, and his expression became unusually solemn.

"Mr. Shang heard from Magistrate Liang that Mr. Shang is having a hard time handling things outside, so please don't ask about the student's affairs for now."

"Okay, I know what's going on. You should go and rest first."

"Where is the student..."

Mr. Lu comforted him, "I will arrange for the teachers to go to the homes of those students who have asked for leave to explain and comfort them. These students are timid and afraid of trouble, and they just follow what others say."

Mr. Zichun said, "The child's..."

"The children are ignorant, and the adults are also ignorant. They actually made trouble with so many children."

So don't think that if the matter is small, it will be fine. Small matters still need to be dealt with. Mr. Zichun looked at the crossroads in the distance and said silently, "It's still a big matter that makes people uneasy!"

Professor Lu nodded and said, "That's right. I just hope this matter will be over as soon as possible."

With the explanation from the university, many students who had asked for leave came back to school one after another. However, among these students, more and more people talked about Zhu Nian, because other students were curious about what kind of person Zhu Nian was.

"I remember you were his classmate, what kind of person was he?"

"How is his relationship with you guys on a daily basis? Is he difficult to get along with?"

"How is his study? Is he good?"

"If the government comes to ask, will you testify for him?"

How to testify? Is it the kind that might get them arrested and put in jail? This group of people kept asking questions, and their hearts, which had been somewhat relieved, were once again in a state of panic. This time, not only the students were worried, but even the teachers were a little scared and came to ask Mr. Zichun.

"We can't go on like this. The academy has been talking about this matter for a long time."

"They may even say more and more outrageous things. Who knows what rumors they will spread in the end."

The students were particularly curious, and Zhu Nian was mentioned frequently, so more and more people were talking about it. Mr. Zichun agreed with the teachers of the prefectural school and just asked them to explain it to the students during the lecture.

On the first day of every month, Mr. Zichun of the academy gave a lecture to all the students of the prefectural academy. When some teachers heard about his arrangement, they felt a little relieved. If Mr. Zichun came forward, then the matter would basically be settled.

The students arrived at the classroom early, and the hall was crowded with people standing and sitting.

The hall was filled with low murmuring sounds until Mr. Zichun and Mr. Lu arrived and the hall became quiet.

"I think everyone has heard about Zhu Nian's incident, but please don't make random guesses."

But just as he finished speaking, someone asked, "Why did you arrest Zhu Nian?

"Yes, why did you arrest him? What's the reason?"

"Why do you say he is a suspect?"

Mr. Lu waved his hand to signal everyone to stop arguing.

"We have already inquired about this matter at the government office. Zhu Nian was indeed near Yi Garden on the night when Lord Lu was stabbed."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a student say, "He is picking rattan for his sister. He wants to make bamboo baskets and sell them to support his family."

These words made Mr. Lu a little at a loss. Rattan, what is a rattan?

"Yes, that's absolutely true. His sister often goes to the Yi Garden to pick rattan."

"I heard that his family is very poor, and his sister has always been supporting the family by picking rattan. His sister was chosen, so of course he has to support their family too."

"Yes, yes, he reads during the day and gathers cane at night."

Mr. Lu was already a little confused by what was going on. He again signaled everyone to stop making noise.

"The government has investigated thoroughly and there will be no injustice..."

But this time, no one in the hall listened to him quietly, but louder voices.

"It's obvious. Zhu Nian doesn't even quarrel with others on weekdays, so how could he be an assassin..."

"When Zhu Nian's mother was seriously ill, he prayed to the Buddha for protection and promised that he would eat vegetarian food wherever he went after he recovered. So after his mother recovered for a while, his family started to eat vegetarian food. How could he kill someone?"

"I heard that he didn't even dare to kill a chicken since he was a child. How could he kill people? He has no martial arts skills."

How come these students know so much about killing chickens and eating vegetarian food, but the government officials know nothing about it...

"Yes, why don't you investigate? Why is it still locked up? We can find out these things once we investigate."

A student stood on the desk and questioned loudly.

"Yeah, why don't you check and ask?"

"They wrongly accused a good man. Zhu Nian is not an assassin at all. Why don't they let him go?"

“Let him go! Let him go!”

What was going on? Mr. Lu's face turned pale, Mr. Zichun looked stunned, and other teachers suddenly became panicked, and the only thing that came to their mind was to let the people go.

The study area in the academy is a quiet and elegant place. Because of the presence of children and teenagers, there are bound to be noise and quarrels on weekdays, but I have never seen anyone gathering to cause trouble.

At this time, the students' expressions were excited, their words were sharp, and they were already furious and questioning their teachers. Respecting teachers was the first lesson they learned when they entered school, and now, this kind of scene had never been seen before.

Su Qinghe, who was standing among the students, was swayed by the excited students in front and behind him and could not even stand steadily. He subconsciously looked for Yingge. The young man looked even thinner among the group of students.

At this time, she was also waving and shouting something, stirring up the students' emotions...

What's wrong with her? Why is she joining in the fun? What's going on?

Mr. Lu looked at the situation that was out of control and was a little overwhelmed. "Everyone, listen to me, it's not like this..."

The students were still noisy, and more of them jumped onto the desks, trying to make their words heard by more people. Mr. Lu was suppressed as soon as he spoke.

Mr. Zichun stepped forward and shouted, "Shut up, be quiet!"

Her face was calm and she spoke slowly. The students standing on the table were the first to hear her. Then the radical students also slowly stopped making noise.

Mr. Zichun did not say anything, but just glanced at the people in the hall seriously. The students who were waving their arms put them down, and the students standing on the table slowly lowered their heads.

The hall was suddenly silent.

Mr. Lu and several other gentlemen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help wiping the sweat from their sweat with their sleeves.

Mr. Zichun said, "You are making a scene here. How can you be so disrespectful? The matter of Zhu Nian has been asked by the government many times with me and the government. If we find out the whole story, we will find a way to solve it. Since you are Zhu Nian's classmates, you should study peacefully. But you are making such a scene here today. If this adds another layer of guilt to Zhu Nian, whose fault is this?"

The hall was silent for a moment, and suddenly a student stood up and said, "Zhu Nian is indeed innocent, but he has been locked up for so long, and no one has questioned him. He has not come to school, so we are worried about him. He is not causing trouble on purpose."

Ye Muyang and Su Qingyu were both silently reciting the name of this student in their hearts.

After the first person spoke, the students behind him all nodded.

"Yes, he is innocent, why don't you let him come back?"

"He has been locked up for a long time, but there is no news at all."

The hall was buzzing, but the more radical students did not incite anyone.

Mr. Zichun said, "I have asked the government office many times. However, because of Lu Gongqing's special status, his subordinates had already reported the incident to the people in Beijing on the night of the incident and were waiting for verification. Mocheng was not allowed to intervene. Therefore, in order to catch the murderer, the local officials of Mocheng were not allowed to ask."

So that's how it is!

Mr. Lu said, "The officials from Beijing have arrived now. The detained suspects will certainly be interrogated one by one. Those who have no problems will be released."

Just like last time, this time someone asked "Was it quick?" before I finished speaking.

Yingge and Su Qinghe asked a good question.

Hmm...it should be soon. Mr. Lu seemed not to dare to give such a definite answer. He hesitated for a moment, wanting to see who asked this question. He subconsciously glanced around the hall, but many students in the hall had already asked the question.

"Are you sure it'll be quick?"

"It's been a long time. His father's eyes have been blinded by crying. He has stopped eating for a long time..."

"If this continues, there will be no more people."

Seeing that the hall was beginning to get chaotic again, Mr. Lu raised his hand to stop it. He did not bother to see who said it, and could only say, "It will be soon, it will be soon. If Zhu Nian is innocent, it will be found out soon."

The students understood and did not raise any questions.

"We hope that the prefectural school can testify for him when the time comes." A student shouted loudly.

Zhao Yingde, Su Qinghe silently repeated this name in his heart. What a coincidence, he knew all these people, but was it really a coincidence?

Yes, the students immediately nodded.

"Zhu Nian is a very honest person, he can't be an assassin, and he doesn't have any martial arts skills..."

"Their ancestors have been farmers for three generations and have never committed any crime..."

"Zhu Nian, when I was a kid, I was afraid of being pecked by a chicken..."

"The whole family is a vegetarian... and they made a vow in front of the Buddha..."

Mr. Lu was a little confused by the words. They knew everything about their ancestors? How did they know? Where did they get all this?

"Okay, okay, okay, I have received all your requests."

His husband didn't want to listen to the students talking anymore and had to tell them to shut up, so he could only agree to it.

Mr. Zichun also spoke up, "Of course, the government society will testify for them."

The students and teachers all breathed a sigh of relief, and the chaotic noise in the hall stopped immediately. They seemed to be calmed down. The beginning of today was terrifying. Mr. Lu then said some words about how we should study hard, and after praising the government for its impartiality, he handed the court over to Mr. Zichun.

Mr. Zichun said, "Okay, then let's go to class."

The students sat down one after another and Mr. Lu also took his leave. After the lecture, one could still hear the clear voice of Mr. Zichun's lecture, and a breeze also dissipated the students' resentment.

"This Zhu Nian has become completely famous."

Several other officials also nodded in agreement. Who would care about who he is on a normal day? He is a student from a slum, and his qualifications are mediocre. I heard that he may not even pass the county exam. In the future, he can only be a shopkeeper in someone else's account office, and that will be his life...

"But what was that student thinking? Why did he go to Yi Garden?"

"I heard from other students that it was to pick vines?"

"Going to pick canes at this hour of night?"

A light cough interrupted their conversation. "Don't you think it's not chaotic enough? Just wait for the Beijing officials to investigate these matters. The department should stop talking nonsense."

Everyone responded
