Obviously, Fang Tong and Jang Wen knew Du Mubai.
A trace of guilt flashed across their faces, but it disappeared in a flash.
Li Cheng was anxious when they didn't answer for a long time. "I'm asking you a question. Why are you mute?"
Li Cheng's words were always so shocking!
Fang Tong hurriedly said, "Yes, we were in the same batch as him. We also lived together."
Both of them answered honestly.
Li Cheng immediately got to the point and asked: "Then do you guys know a girl called Su Qiao? She was the victim of the stone case. "
Hearing this name, they looked at each other.
Then they shook their heads.
"Sir, we don't know this person."
"You lived with Du Mubai. Didn't he mention this person?"
"We don't dare to hide it from you. We really didn't, and …"
"And what?"
"We only lived with Du Mubai. We don't know his personal affairs."
Du Mubai was overflowing with talent and was known as the Nanshen Scholar.
How could such a talented person 'agree' with them? Besides, Du Mubai was appreciated by Marquis Pingyang and became his disciple. But because they didn't have any connections, they didn't even know an official, and they were not qualified to become an official. Naturally, the distance between them and Du Mubai was widened again!
Although they were all born in poor families, they were different.
Li Cheng didn't get any information from them.
Jang Wen asked, "Sir, what's the relationship between Su Qiao and Du Mubai?"
"You don't need to ask."
"Yes."
Shut up.
Ji Yunshu stepped forward and continued to ask, "Actually, I have another case to ask you."
Huh?
Fang Tong and Jang Wen seemed to have vaguely sensed something.
They were silent.
They were waiting to be asked.
Ji Yunshu asked, "According to the records, the reason why Du Mubai committed suicide that year was because he stole a poem. That was why he was disqualified from being a disciple. Because of this, he was deeply affected and chose to commit suicide. I want to know, whose poem did he steal?"
There was no record of this in the file.
Fang Tong said, "He …"
"Even if you don't tell us, we can still find out."
"He stole Bingzheng's poem." Jang Wen said.
Bingzheng was the person who hadn't been brought here yet.
Li Cheng immediately urged the guards standing at the door, "Hurry and bring Bingzheng here."
"Yes!"
The guard immediately went to urge him.
During this period, Fang Tong and Jiang Wen had been very nervous. They shrank to one side as if they were afraid of something.
Song Zhi was brought here in a daze. Until now, he still hadn't figured out what had happened.
He softly asked Ji Yunshu, "Young Master Ji, what is going on?"
It was said that it was very tiring to talk to a scholar. Even someone as patient as Ji Yunshu could not stand it. She only said, "Master Song.
This has nothing to do with you. Actually, you can go back first. "
"I … I'd better wait." He pointed at Fang Tong. "I know them."
That's right!
Ji Yunshu had almost forgotten that Song Zhi was brought along with them.
He asked, "How did you get to know them?"
"The last time I went to the bookstore to read, I met Brother Fang. Later, Brother Fang brought me to a poetry competition, where I met Brother Jiang. We chatted for a while. Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you, Young Master Ji. At that time, I won twenty taels of silver."
Puff –
Look at you, winning twenty taels of silver is like winning a house.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to ask more, but for some reason, she asked, "You won twenty taels of silver? Did you gamble with someone? "
"No, no, no. Young Master Ji, you misunderstood. Why would I gamble? The exams are coming up, and I don't even have time to read. "
"Then …" "At that time, a young master composed a poem, saying that whoever could match it would win twenty taels of silver. Coincidentally, I matched the poem, so I won the money. I wanted to go back and tell you the news, but it was too late and I forgot. How about this, I'll treat you and Young Master Jing to a meal.
I would like to invite you and Young Master Jing to have a meal together to thank you for taking care of me along the way. "
He rattled off a whole bunch of things!
Out of politeness, Ji Yunshu didn't want to interrupt, so she listened.
Then, she said, "Young Master Song, you should keep the twenty taels of silver. Your exams are coming up, and there will be a lot of places where you need money. Don't spend it!"
"It's fine. It doesn't cost much."
"…" Ji Yunshu was speechless.
Their 'whispering' attracted Jing Rong's attention.
But he didn't do anything. He just sat there and watched quietly.
It wasn't that he was jealous, but he just watched.
That's right, he just watched!
That's all!
Ji Yunshu didn't continue to argue with Song Zhi. She just smiled and didn't say anything.
Li Cheng's mind was heavy. He thought that the Stone Case was just a Stone Case. How could he know that Du Mubai was involved? Even if it was involved, why did it involve Du Mubai's relationship with Su Qiao? He could already imagine how disappointed his sister would be when the news spread. The man she loved and admired was a gifted scholar.
The gifted scholar, the gentleman who had pledged his undying love to her, how did he become someone who had made a promise to someone else in the blink of an eye?
Even a man like Li Cheng couldn't accept it.
Not to mention that he was Li Wenshu.
Thinking of this, he was deeply worried.
He didn't know how to comfort her when the time came.
Just as he was worrying about it …
Ji Yunshu suddenly walked in front of Fang Tong.
Their eyes met.
Fang Tong took a step back. "Your Excellency?"
Ji Yunshu asked, "Did you discover Du Mubai's suicide first?"
"… Yes."
"What did Du Mubai look like when you saw him? What was Z's situation in the house? "
"What did Du Mubai look like? The situation in the house? "He repeated Ji Yunshu's words.
"Yes!"
Fang Tong and Jang Wen looked at each other again. As witnesses, they had already told everything they saw. Now that they were asked again, they seemed to have forgotten something.
"Your Excellency, it's been six years. I don't remember some of the details. I was really scared at that time. Now that I think about it, it's creepy."
"Then tell me what you remember."
"But … at that time, we told the officials everything we saw and knew. The Ministry of Justice should have a record. Don't you think the record is more detailed, my lord?"
Indeed, there was a record on Du Mubai's file, and the record was perfect. The handwriting was clean and smooth.
It was a perfect file.
However, Ji Yunshu had written many files as a prison supervisor. She knew many details and would optimize them.
She wouldn't record it in too much detail.
