You're the murderer!
Teacher Yu was shocked when he saw the wound.
"This..."
Lin Shu said, "They're the ones who did this to me."
At this moment, Teacher Yu was still in a state of confusion.
What the hell was going on?
Teacher Yu aside, even Mo Ruo and Tang Si, who were the accused, were puzzled.
When did they want to kill him?
False accusation!
It was a blatant false accusation!
Teacher Yu said, "Lin Shu, don't talk nonsense."
"This student is not lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuansheng."
Fu Yuansheng nodded frantically. "Teacher, what Lin Shu said is true. It was their men who barged into Lin Shu's room for no reason and pinned him on the table. They slashed his arm and took a bottle of blood before leaving. They obviously wanted to kill him."
They echoed each other!
But, a bottle of blood?
Interesting!
After listening, Mo Ruo seemed to know what had happened.
He chuckled inwardly.
Teacher Yu's heart ached when he saw the wound on Lin Shu's arm.
But...
He couldn't blame Jing Rong's men for this.
As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. There must be a reason for this.
He looked at Mo Ruo, wanting to ask him if he knew what had happened.
However, Mo Ruo shook his head.
He said to Lin Shu, "Young Master Lin, Miss Tang was punished for your whipping yesterday. She knelt in the Confucian Hall for the whole night. You said you were bitten by a snake. I'm sure you know better than anyone else what happened. As for you saying that someone barged into your room, slashed your arm, and took a bottle of blood, and concluded that they wanted to kill you, this... where did this come from? I see that your wound is very shallow. It doesn't look like they wanted to kill you. Moreover, you don't even need to apply any medicine. It will heal in a day or two. "
He said it lightly, and it sounded very casual.
Lin Shu was furious. "You make it sound so simple. Do you want me to cut off my arm to kill someone? So many things have happened in the academy since you guys came. You guys even caused me to be in this state. Yet, you still talk so eloquently and shirk your responsibility. Sage Kong once said, 'Boorish people are good.' "
He almost roared the last sentence.
However, just as he finished speaking —
There was a clap.
He was slapped hard on the back of his head.
Ah!
He cried out in pain and rubbed his aching head. Turning around, he saw Tang Si standing behind him with one hand on her hip.
Then —
"You're really shameless. You actually dare to say that we caused you to be bitten by the snake. It's clear that you wanted to take revenge on me, but you were bitten by the snake. Also, the two whips I gave you yesterday should have been more ruthless, until your legs were crippled. You said that someone cut your hand and let it bleed. I don't know who was so righteous. However, I should have cut off your hand and let the blood slowly bleed out. It would have been best if there wasn't a single drop of blood left."
As she spoke, Tang Si had already completed the scene in her mind.
Just thinking about it made him feel extremely refreshed!
Lin Shu got up from the ground and said to her, "Don't think that you're so great just because you know martial arts."
"So what if he's amazing? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue and fry it in a pan of oil so that you won't be able to talk for the rest of your life. "
"Heaven is watching what people do. Sooner or later, you will suffer retribution."
"You're the one who …"
Before Tang Si could finish her sentence, a voice came from the door.
"I think the one who needs retribution first is you."
The voice came from Jing Rong.
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked towards the door.
They saw Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong walking in, their faces cold and solemn.
Both of them cupped their hands and bowed to Teacher Yu.
They did the courtesy!
Teacher Yu was puzzled and asked, "Young Master Jing, what is this?"
Jing Rong's gaze fell on Lin Shu. His thin and cold lips curved into a smile. "Although this Mingshan Academy is said to be a good place with good feng shui and two out of the top three in the imperial examinations every three years, I didn't expect such a good show to happen. I'm lucky to have encountered such a case."
When Lin Shu saw that he was saying these words to him, his heart instantly tensed up. He could vaguely sense the meaning behind those words. He staggered a little and took a small step back.
He pouted angrily but didn't say anything.
Jing Rong said, "Lin Shu, didn't you just say that Heaven is watching what people do? There's nothing wrong with that. "
"You … what do you mean?"
His voice trembled.
"I'm complimenting Teacher Yu for teaching such a good student like you."
That was too strange!
Teacher Yu knew that his comprehension ability was not bad, but he couldn't understand Jing Rong's words.
He continued, "What Young Master Jing said is the Dao …"
Interrupted!
Jing Rong said, "Teacher, what I wanted to say is about Guo He's murder."
Teacher Yu's eyes flashed with anger and excitement. "Did you find the murderer? Who is it? "
I won't say it to keep you in suspense.
Ji Yunshu, who was beside him, took a small step forward. Her gaze also fell on Lin Shu, whose cheeks were trembling. Then, she slowly spat out four words from her crimson lips.
"You're the murderer!"
Ah!
These four words were neither light nor heavy, neither salty nor light.
However, for a few seconds, the whole room fell silent.
Lin Shu's eyes suddenly widened. Ignoring the wounds on his body, he waved his sleeves and denied loudly, "Don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't kill anyone."
"Whether it's you or not, there's evidence."
"Alright, then show me the evidence. I want to see."
Ji Yunshu unhurriedly took out the Eastern chestnut bead and handed it to him. "This is yours, right?"
When he saw the bead, Lin Shu subconsciously hid his hand behind his back, his mouth dry.
This small movement was seen through by Ji Yunshu.
"You don't have to hide it. This Eastern chestnut bead is one of the beads on the bracelet on your wrist."
"No."
"Then show me your hand."
Lin Shu's eyes flickered a few times before he replied confidently, "Do you think that just because it's a Eastern chestnut bead, it must be mine? Anyone can have it in this world. Why me? "
He was still quibbling!
He had seen many people like this.
Who would be so diligent as to jump out and say that they were the murderer?
Ji Yunshu smiled faintly. "That's right. There are many people in this world who have Eastern chestnut beads, but in the entire academy, you are the only one who has one. A string of Eastern chestnut beads has 22 beads, so the one on your hand should only have 21 beads. The one missing is the one on my hand. I found it in the wine bottle at the bottom of the well. Of course, whose wine bottle is that? How did your Eastern chestnut bead end up in the wine bottle? This may seem unrelated to Guo He's death, but I found two kinds of blood stains on the wine bottle – yours and Guo He's. This means that you were present when Guo He died. Or, to put it another way, on the day Guo He left, you had a conflict at the back of the mountain. In the process, the string of Eastern chestnut beads on your wrist was hooked by the wine bottle in Guo He's hand, and the beads scattered on the ground. Your hand was also cut, and blood flowed onto the bottle. Guo He was beaten by you until his body bled, and his blood also flowed onto the bottle. After that, you threw his body and the bottle into the well. "
Her words were perfect!
