The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law
Chapter 19 Where is your evidence?
Seeing her attitude, the waiter thought that she was acquainted with the shopkeeper, so he nodded and bowed with an apologetic smile and invited them to wait in the inner room.
After a while, Qiao Xi saw a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a pointed nose, a mustache on his thin lips, and wearing a blue gown walked in.
As soon as he came in, the man looked them both over.
Qiao Xi didn't even raise her eyes and just drank the tea prepared in the bookstore.
Seeing her so calm and composed, the shopkeeper curled his lips and said in a friendly manner, "I wonder what business you want to discuss with me?"
Hearing this, she put down the teacup, took something out of her arms and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"I need to copy a letter, but I want to change the content. Price is not an issue. I wonder if your bookstore can do it?"
After saying that, he casually threw a penny of silver on the table.
The shopkeeper was slightly startled. When he saw the silver, his wide eyes immediately narrowed and his attitude became more approachable than before.
Normally, copying a book would cost less than a penny. But this was just copying a letter, and I got this much.
As the saying goes, if you don't make money, you will be laid by a turtle.
The shopkeeper examined the handwriting on the paper and thought it was not difficult. He picked up the silver and smiled awkwardly, "I wonder what the customer wants to write? How long will it take?"
"I need it tomorrow morning. As for the content—" Qiao Xi paused and hooked her finger at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper understood immediately and immediately tilted his head to move closer.
Han Yunan sat aside drinking tea, and saw Qiao Xi whispering something, and the shopkeeper nodded from time to time.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and suppress his curiosity.
"How is it?" After saying that, Qiao Xi sat up straight, staring at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper lowered his head in thought, then weighed the silver in his hand. When he raised his head, he had already made a decision in his heart.
He nodded, his voice firm, "Don't worry, sir. Just come pick it up tomorrow morning."
Hearing his agreement, Qiao Xi happily slammed the table and said, "Okay, the shopkeeper is a straightforward person. Then I will come back early tomorrow morning. Let's go."
The last sentence was directed at Han Yun'an.
The shopkeeper escorted the two of them out of the bookstore, hurriedly called the waiter, whispered a few words to him, and sent the waiter out.
"Sister-in-law, what are we doing?"
Han Yun'an watched the young man walk away and asked Qiao Xi in front of him.
It turned out that the two of them had not gone far. They left the bookstore and reached a corner, where they hid and stared at the bookstore.
Seeing that the boy had walked far enough, Qiao Xi hurriedly signaled Han Yun'an to follow, "Just follow me, I'll explain it to you later."
The two men followed the young man carefully all the way to their destination.
Han Yun'an looked at the plaque of Shangqing Academy with a surprised look on his face, "Sister-in-law, why did he come here?"
Qiao Xi's expression didn't change at all, because she had expected all this.
After a while, someone was seen coming out of Shangqing Academy.
Afraid of being discovered by the waiter, they hid far away, but Han Yun'an recognized the man as Feng Hui at a glance.
Thinking of Qiao Xi's behavior at the academy this morning, he suddenly realized something, and his voice rose involuntarily, "Sister-in-law, you knew it was him a long time ago."
He had just said a few words when Qiao Xi covered his mouth.
She glanced at someone not far away, and only let go of his hand after seeing that he had shut up.
Han Yun'an subconsciously shrank back, as if that would make him smaller, and continued in a mosquito-like voice, "Sister-in-law, since you already know it's him, why don't I arrest him now and send him to the dean, so that Xu Yi can be cleared of all charges sooner."
Qiao Xi shook her head. "No. We don't have evidence, so we can't convince others. Wait a little longer. I want to catch the perpetrator red-handed."
Especially Yu Hongtao. Ever since today's confrontation, she felt that he was a difficult person to deal with.
If the evidence is not placed before him, he will inevitably interfere.
System Navigation This is something she cannot say. If she says that she suspects Feng Hui and asks to search his room, not only will no one believe her, but people will also accuse Xu Yi of framing her, because otherwise how would he know that the ancient books are in Feng Hui's room.
Seeing the young man leave after talking to Feng Hui, they still didn't take any action. Han Yun'an stamped his feet anxiously, "Are we just going to watch and not do anything?"
It was not until Feng Hui entered the academy again that Qiao Xi showed up and the fish took the bait.
She answered as she walked towards the academy, "The more you do, the more mistakes you make. Just wait."
Han Yun'an frowned, but seeing that she seemed confident, he did not ask any more questions.
After entering the academy, Qiao Xi did not go to find Xu Yi, but went to the dean.
She first asked Han Yun'an to go in and report, and then she went into the dean's study alone.
The two stayed in there for about a quarter of an hour, and no one knew what they talked about except the dean and Qiao Xi.
Since the academy was full of men, women were not allowed to stay overnight. Qiao Xi told Xu Yi about it and then found an inn near the academy to stay in.
The next morning, she went to Meixiang Bookstore to pick up her things as agreed.
The shopkeeper was a man of his word and had been waiting for her at the door of the bookstore early in the morning.
After getting her things, Qiao Xi did not go to the academy. Instead, she wandered around Lingxiao City for a while and then returned to the inn.
It was not until the appointed day that she packed herself up and went to Shangqing Hospital at a leisurely pace.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the academy, I saw a familiar figure swaying at the door.
When the man saw her coming, his frown relaxed slightly and he hurried to meet her.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here just now? Everyone is waiting at the dean's place, let's go over quickly."
Hearing this, Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect them to like joining in the fun. But it was just right, as it saved her from having to ask the dean to call them all over.
She was practically rushed all the way into the dean's yard.
When everyone in the courtyard saw her coming, they all made way for her without Han Yun'an saying anything.
Qiao Xi glanced at the crowd. Some had a faint smile on their faces, but it was just a mocking smile. Some looked curious. But there were also some people who didn't care.
When she arrived in front of the dean, she first bowed and then stood calmly below the dean.
The dean's eyes had never left her since she came in.
He wanted to wait for her to speak first, but seeing that she had stood there for a while and still had no intention of speaking, the dean pursed his lips and had to speak first.
"Ms. Xu Qiao, the three-day deadline has expired. Where is your evidence?"
Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly, her voice soft but not inconsiderable, "Before I state the evidence, I'd like to ask the dean to confirm whether all the students in the academy are here."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked puzzled.
The dean was stunned for a moment, then looked at the gentlemen around him.
After receiving his signal, the gentlemen all looked around at everyone. After looking around, one of them nodded to the dean.
The dean said in a low voice, "All the students in the academy are here, you can speak now."
After getting his answer, Qiao Xi nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone saw her slowly taking out a letter from her bosom.
Qiao Xi presented the letter to the dean with both hands and said loudly, "The evidence is in this letter. Please take a look, dean."
